About this property

Inviting Home with Colorful Decor and Private Backyard Oasis with a Swimming Poo

Summary:
Casa Sonterra is a two-story home with three bedrooms in Surfside — a charming neighborhood in the popular beach town of Potrero on Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast.

The Space:
The property features vibrant colors and decor throughout the home and beautiful outdoor spaces, including a backyard with a rancho and swimming pool, a shaded terrace, and a grassy yard encompassed by a gate for security and privacy.

Casa Sonterra features an open-concept living room and kitchen with a rectangular dining table for six guests. The living room is furnished with two blue couches with colorful throw pillows, a coffee table made from local wood, a flat-screen TV, and a sliding glass door that leads out to the patio with a sparkling swimming pool, lounge chairs, a shaded rancho with wicker furniture, a picnic table, and a BBQ grill. The private backyard is surrounded by lush greenery, creating a serene and private oasis.

The kitchen is situated next to two sliding glass doors that lead to the patio, offering a bright, open design. The kitchen has granite countertops, wood cabinets, island seating for two, and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, microwave, oven, stovetop, and a brand-new refrigerator and freezer. The kitchen also features a built-in wine rack and a ceiling fan to keep the space cool while cooking.

The master bedroom is located upstairs and features a king-sized bed, a walk-in closet, and an attached bathroom with a bathtub and single-sink vanity. The master bedroom is decorated in calming blue accents and features high ceilings for a bright, airy atmosphere. The master bedroom also offers access to a spacious terrace with views of the surrounding mountains and greenery.

The two downstairs bedrooms both have plenty of closet space, and each has a sliding glass door that leads to the swimming pool and rancho. One bedroom offers a queen-sized bed, while the other has two single beds. Both bedrooms share a downstairs bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Casa Sonterra has secure gates and seven-foot walls, outdoor cameras, and a security system for your peace of mind. The home also has an attached single-car garage, a laundry room with a washer and dryer, and comes with air conditioning and Wi-Fi.

No Pets Policy

Please note that this property is not pet-friendly due to house and condominium rules. No exceptions will be made, and emotional support animals are not permitted. If guests arrive at check-in with pets that have not been verified and approved, access to the property will be denied.

What Is There to See & Do Near Casa Sonterra in Potrero?

Casa Sonterra is located in the seaside community of Surfside on the outskirts of Potrero between Playa Flamingo and Las Catalinas. This home is located five minutes from Playa Potrero, which offers a broad, sandy stretch of shoreline and fun activities to enjoy, including snorkeling, scuba diving, and fishing.

Potrero offers several local restaurants, bars, and shops to explore, and is the perfect launching point for some of the best adventures in Costa Rica, including horseback riding and ziplining!

Experience a Memorable Stay in Potrero with Special Places of Costa Rica

Upon arrival at Casa Sonterra, you’ll find a welcome basket filled with coffee, coffee filters, salt, pepper, soap, shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, paper towels, cooking oil, and other essentials you’ll need for a comfortable stay, courtesy of our team at Special Places of Costa Rica. We’ll also include a bottle of Salsa Lizano, a special Costa Rican sauce that will add a touch of local flavor to all your dishes!

When you’re ready to venture out from Casa Sonterra to explore the best of Costa Rica, we would be happy to help you book local tours for any adventure your heart desires — from scuba diving and surfing to ziplining and horseback riding.

Have questions? We’ve got answers! We’re here to make your vacation as smooth and as memorable as possible, so whether you have questions about the home’s amenities, the best restaurants nearby, or the top activities to experience during a trip to Costa Rica, please reach out to our knowledgeable local team. We would love to hear from you!

The Neighborhood:
Surfside is a charming community on Playa Potrero where many expats live permanently (in particular Canadians and Italians), and where visitors can choose from a wide range of elegant vacation rentals, appetizing restaurants and lively bars.
Located between the towns of Potrero and Flamingo, Surfside is an eminently walkable village where the beach is never more than a few blocks away. Several tour offices offer a variety of adventures by land and sea, and real estate offices will be happy to show you your next home in paradise.
Attractions you won’t want to miss include the beachfront Sailing Center (restaurant, bar, pool and sailing packages); the popular Perlas restaurant (a high-end roadhouse/sports bar with big-screen TVs, live music, and great wings, burgers and pizzas); the Cervecería Independiente craft brewery between the two; and other local eateries including the Shack and the Beach House.
The lines are somewhat blurred between Potrero and Surfside — Potrero (“pasture”) was the original Costa Rican name of both, but Surfside became the popular name when a lot of foreigners began developing its southern outskirts. Most people would probably say that Potrero starts somewhere north of Perlas, and it’s Surfside to the south. In either place, you can’t go wrong.

Getting Around:
Our agents will be happy to assist you with renting a car, giving you the freedom to explore the area where you want, when you want. For short drives to nearby towns or beaches, golf carts are another popular mode of transportation. You can also rent a bicycle to ride around in town or beyond.

We can arrange transfers to and from the airport. Rental cars can also be delivered to your property at no additional cost, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenery as our private van drives you here from the airport.

Taxis are available but can be a bit hard to find. Many locals use buses to get around, though there are a limited number of routes and times of day when you can catch them. Private shuttles can be a great option for traveling to nearby destinations, and many tour companies offer transportation to and from the tour. Our information brochure will provide you with useful information on local transportation options and points of interest, as well as contact information for taxis and shuttles.

Other Things to Note:
Special Places of Costa Rica is committed to protecting our properties and keeping up-to-date with short-term rental regulations, which is why you will be asked to complete our independent verification. Before your stay begins, you will need to verify your details with us to complete your booking. You will be contacted via email and/or text to complete the verification. You will also be given the choice between paying a refundable deposit or buying a non-refundable damage waiver. We suggest you buy the damage waiver as this protects you in case you cause accidental damage during a booking.

Christmas in Potrero

The villa was perfect for my family of 5. It’s nicely located 10 minutes to the beach! Very comfortable and well appointed. It’s in a quiet neighbourhood, walkable to markets and restaurants. The outdoor space is lovely. There are lots of activities to do in the area and it’s oonly a one hour drive to the Liberia Airpot. Our host James was attentive and the concierge service was helpful.

A Beautiful, private location close to Everything!

Our experience with Special Places of Costa Rica (the host) was Excellent. Communication was easy and Marisol, who was our agent, was always quick to respond to any questions. Check in and out was very simple. The house was Amazing! A Beautiful home that was well appointed and very comfortable. The pool was well kept and VERY refreshing. The private back yard area was also very nice. Possibly the best thing about this property was the LOCATION! Everything we could possibly need was just a short walk away, with many restaurants to choose from including high-end beach view locations, Breweries, and more budget friendly taco stands. There is also a grocery store right at the end of the street. We had an excellent time while staying there and would highly recommend it to others!
