Family Vacation

We had a great stay at Casa Roberta. Location was excellent, able to walk into town and a short drive to many beautiful beaches. The shaded pool in the afternoon sun was awesome. Lis was excellent in making sure we were comfortable and quickly took care of any needs. Thank you - we will be back!

Wonderful stay in Potrero

Casa Roberta was a wonderful place to stay during our trip to Costa Rica. Potrero was a great hub to visit many of the beautiful beaches in the area. The property was well equipped and we especially loved the pool and the outdoor living area.

Just what we were looking for…

Super set-up. Private, very clean, comfortable beds and furniture, fully equipped with quality, great long chairs by a beautiful pool and yard. We walked to the beach and restaurants to capture amazing sunsets. We definitely appreciated the TV outside to watch the Masters. Practical binder with useful information.

We were there for 5 weeks, loved it, nice privacy, quiet neighborhood. Everything as advertised or better. Monkeys near by in the mornings. Everything you need is on the property, we rented a golf cart for duration of our stay, was perfect to explore both directions from town. Highly recommend, book early we will be back!

Nice property

This is a nice property, exactly as described/pictured, in an area that marries modern-comfort with local influences. Both Lis (property manager) and Dave (host) were available & responsive as needed, & we truly appreciated that. Lis provided a solution to the laundry situation, which we appreciated but did not need to utilize. The unit is well equipped & the area is easily accessible by good paved roads; no scary approaches! Should we come back to the area, I would not hesitate booking Casa Roberta

Relaxing Family Beach Holiday

Our family of 5 had a wonderful week long stay at Casa Roberta over Christmas. Potrero is great - quiet but with all the amenities you’d want. The house is exactly as advertised and had everything our family needed and lots of space. We loved the outdoor area and the pool. Lis the property manager was very helpful. The neighborhood is quiet and an easy walk to the beach or restaurants. I loved running the beach early in the morning and the kids loved playing in the waves. We had a car and loved exploring and beach hopping - especially Playa Penca! Perfect relaxing family beach holiday. We hope to be back!

Great place, kindest host

The house is all it’s cracked up to be. Great location! Lis is spectacular!!! Bad weather week before we arrived caused airport closure. Dave worked with us to extend days to accommodate late arrival (thankfully not booked week after ours). Seriously over the top kindness. Do go horseback riding with Brandy. She uses funds to rescue horses. And do take sunset cruise. We loved it so much we went twice.

Casa Roberta - Definitely was amazing!

Everything from the booking to the early check in, right up until the end, was amazing. Lis was always available to answer any questions or handle the couple little minor issues that arose with the water and the pool. I had emailed Dave prior to arriving and he was very quick to respond to me and we had back and forth correspondence for a few days, which was very much appreciated by me. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone who is planning on traveling to Potrero in the future.

Perfect place for a family!

This Airbnb has everything a family needs to have a great stay in Costa Rica. After staying at a hotel for a few nights, we couldn’t wait to get here and be able to really stretch out and for everyone to have their own bedroom. The beds are super comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. Also, we loved having our very own pool to dip in after a day at the beach - heaven! The owner and property manager Lis were both very responsive and were proactive in making sure we had everything we needed.

Terrific condo and location

The property and location were perfect! The rooms were very clean and comfortable, bathrooms large and clean, and the main kitchen and living room were great places for the family to hang out after our excursions! And on top of it, the outdoor patio area and pool layout were great and a wonderful place to hang out to get away from the heat of Potrero and relax after busy days. We will certainly look to book this property if and when we're back in Potrero!

A perfect tropical family holiday.

Casa Roberta met all our needs and then some! The house is in a quiet, well-serviced local neighbourhood, away from most tourist traffic, and it's tastefully furnished, with all modern appliances and equipment. The pool is a real bonus, especially on very hot days, and the outdoor living spaces are airy and inviting. There are many beautiful beaches within easy access, and also plenty of grocery options and a variety of good restaurants. Our party ranged in age from 29 months to 77 years, and we could not have had a more inclusive and happy holiday. Finally, we were most impressed with the service provided by the property manager and her crew and this is certainly a property and a location that we would recommend,
