Merry Mermaid - Beachfront Home with Pool - Villas for Rent in Potrero, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

We greatly enjoyed our stay here and especially appreciated Walter's hospitality on the grounds! He was very friendly, provided us with excellent recommendations and welcomed us to Potrero. The space itself was perfect for a group of people visiting, with the beach just steps away and the pool in your backyard.

This was the last leg of our stay in Costa Rica. The place was very private as we were the only people thee. I can see how this place would be great for a large group.

Kristen was an outstanding host, and the Merry Mermaid was everything we hoped for on our journey. Kristen went above and beyond sharing info on road conditions getting to the house. Super helpful and made the trip a.breeze. The location on the beach was fantastic, and the house was clean and comfortable. We loved the outdoor seating area and the pool. It is a great place to relax at the end of the day. Walter is a gem and made sure we had everything we needed, including a beautiful kayak and snorkeling trip right right from the beach at the house. highly recommend the Merry Mermaid, Kristen, and Walter.

Kristin was always responsive and helpful.  Walter who managed the property was really friendly, answered all of our questions and helped keep the property in top shape, especially with the thunderstorms that rolled through the last 2 days we were there.    It was a great experience, would stay there again!

We are locals living in San Jose and went for the weekend with one of our daughters and her husband. Kristin was very helpful and accommodating with a very early checkin as we left SJ very early to avoid long weekend traffic. Very good internet and my daughter had no problem working on the Friday. The location was lovely and the main reason for staying on the beach because we had my daughter’s puppy with us 😊. It is a lovely area and very quiet and peaceful beach area. The beds are very comfortable. On the downside I think it was a little expensive and you could be unlucky with who you have to share the pool area with as the 2 front houses are very close together.

This space was amazing, the house was spacious and clean. We had 5 people comfortably in the space and probably could have fit 2 more! The beach was steps away and so so nice! Loved the local vibe and the beach access the most. We were able to walk to shopping and there were also great dining options that were very close. The caretaker was super helpful and responsive as well.

Great Costa Rica vacation with our family of 5 - with 3 teenagers. Kristin’s communication was wonderful. Walter on site is a gem. Super helpful helping us set up activities, including a great morning kayaking and snorkeling trip with him right from our beachfront home! You can walk down the beach to a beachfront restaurant and other good ones are a very short drive. We made breakfast at home and ate out for all other meals. The pool is wonderful, the birds are entertaining. All right on the beach. Highly recommend Tres Mermaids!

This is a great place for rest and relaxation. Direct access to the beach. Also, the location is very close to several other bigger beach towns so if you have a car you can do some great exploring up and down the Costa Rica coast. Walter (the caretaker) was amazing.

Place was amazing, quiet and close to everything. The Airbnb hosts Walter and his family were so nice, helpful and accommodating. 10/10

The BEST location and adorable homes. The caretaker Walter, really made the stay even better! He’s on property, has amazing knowledge of the area and guided fishing tours! We met a couple in one of the units, they have been coming back to this spot multiple times! We shared lunch of fresh as the ocean mahi mahi! One of our favorite meals! We had 5 adults 30-60years, and we all loved the walking distance to restaurants, we had a rental car for store trips, and exploring other beaches around the area… we all thought Kristen’s 3 mermaids was the best Sunset spot for 5 nights of heaven!! The kitchen has all you need to cook, huge fridge, sparkling clean everything, including pool! Monkeys visited, the beach is clean and calm. We’ll be back!! Pura Vida🦋🌈🌞

Kristin was a great host always very responsive and friendly as well as Walter, he was great helping us with everything we needed during our stay. House was very nice we just didn’t like 2 things , the parking space is really small and also right outside the house there are a lot of potholes , if you have a small car you would have trouble getting in and out with those huge potholes. And the other thing is the shared bathroom, when you shower all the water comes out and is a mess, I think a glass would work so you don’t make a mess every time you shower .

The place is nice and beautiful. The beach is not the best but it is quite private. There is a caretaker, Walter to help you with alcohol and grocery shopping.

The property was beautiful and looked just like the pictures.  Beach was beautiful.  Walkable to a few restaurants and amenities, but the drive to other places was only 4 or 5 minutes away.  Walter the caretaker was amazing!  We had monkeys in the trees on the property!  I highly recommend this property.

Awesome place, one of the best spots in potrero, great view. Will stay again!!!

Wonderful place to stay with multiple families!  Kristin was amazing in ensuring all our logistics came together perfectly!  Walter, the gentleman taking care of the house, is a GEM.  He helped us in so many ways get the most out of our time there.  Kristin connected us with some ATV rentals and Walter helped negotiate the on site details.  10/10....we'll definitely be back for more!

Loved the private beach, clean house, comfortable beds and so thankful for the host and property manager accommodating a very late night and last minute check-in. Thank you for everything and hope to come back again.

I can’t say enough good things about Kristin’s property.  The space is incredibly clean, comfortable and efficiently designed - perfect for our family of 4.  It’s also a super location for taking in the best of Potrero and the broader Guanacaste area, too.  Although there are two other units, we enjoyed plenty of privacy and enjoyed the light bustle of others, including the very kind and helpful property manager, Walter.  Some critique the dark sand beach, but the sand is soft, the waves are a great intensity for younger kids, sunsets are spectacular, and the hermit crabs are second to none.  We’ve stayed many places in the area and this is our new favorite.

Simply amazing! We loved everything about this spot. And the host was so personable and accommodating! We would absolutely return and spend a whole month here. Waking up and falling asleep to the sound of waves was magical.

What a great location and the house was amazing. It was so nice to lounge around the pool or just walk out into your back yard and take a stroll or swim on the beach. Kristin and her family were so lovely and welcoming, keeping us updated on things to do in the area or places to visit. We really had a great time, and the kids enjoyed the pool and the beach. We will definitely go back and book this again! We did not want to leave!

Nice clean and well equipped house. Great beach front location.

An amazing place with lots of beachfront amenities. Kristin was super friendly and left us chopped fruit in the fridge and always helped us with our queries.

Un lugar increíble con muchas comodidad enfrente a la playa. Kristin super amable nos dejó fruta picada en la refri y siempre nos ayudó con nuestras consultas.

Amazing home and location! Kristin's house is right in front of the beach and close to many restaurants. The house is equipped with everything you need to relax and enjoy Costa Rica. Kristin and her property manager were very helpful in booking activities for us. 100% recommend her beautiful home.
