This place was amazing. Right on the beach, walking distance to numerous shops, restaurants and bars. The host was very accessible and answered all of my questions / concerns within minutes. He also helped with local attractions and gave multiple recommendations on local beaches and things to see.

We had an amazing family vacation at this beautiful house on Potrero Beach. Plenty of room for the 9 of us and we enjoyed all of the outdoor spaces. The main suite on 3rd floor is huge and loved waking up to a gorgeous view every morning. Enjoyed eating our meals outside and BBQing. Something to note is the 3 bedrooms on first floor are separate - must go outside then up external staircase to access common spaces. There are no internal stairs from ground floor. It was fine for our group-1 teen and 8 adults, but could be a little challenging for young kids. They did mention they felt a little separated from the 4 of us staying upstairs. 1st floor rooms do have pool right outside sliding doors and very easy access to beach. Perfect location on Potrero Beach. We loved being able to walk to bars and restaurants (parking can be a little challenging in the area). Short drive from Flamingo Marina. Beach was not busy at all and water was warm and calm in December. This is last house on the street so felt very private and there is a river behind and on the right of house which was fun to spot fish and monkeys. Also, easy drive from Liberia Airport (little over an hour).Host was very welcoming and met us when we arrived. Communication before and during stay was excellent and I always got an immediate response.
