4BR Villa in San José

Excellent, 3 months ago

Very responsive and we loved our stay here. Would definitely return

The place wasn’t clean. After crawling in the kitchen and living room, my 9-month-old’s feet and knees were black. The maid service didn’t include cleaning the floors. We also felt unsafe due to a back unit where several men appeared to be staying and/or regularly hanging out. This wasn’t disclosed to us, isn’t mentioned in the listing, and we never had any introduction. While my family was in the pool (including my 3-year-old without clothes on), we could see men loitering nearby in their underwear, which was alarming and uncomfortable. We noted this to the property manager, without resolution. Overall, it wasn’t a good experience, and I’d recommend choosing another property.

Host Response

I am so sorry to read your message and your expérience was not great The house is cleanned before your arrival and during your stay , the maid cleans of course the floor Now you know when we walk and now with the wind season there are a lot of dust 🙃 For the men you saw it was just the owner’s son in a part of the back yard you didn’t have access And I am sorry for that

Our family of five stayed here. We were so happy we did!. We were worried that this was a little away from popular attractions, but we loved being in Potrero. We were still able to find our way to the attractions, yet we also had a laid back, local feel vibe. The beach was steps away from the unit, and felt unique. We encountered all kinds of wildlife, including a pack of monkeys while we were swimming at the home. The host had everything we needed(boogey board, cooler, beach chairs), and the home was stocked with every travel amenity we needed. The home was larger than we expected, and more than we needed. We would definitely recommend this unit!

We've stayed at many Airbnbs, and this was by far our favorite. Lovely house, comfortable beds, a great bathroom for each of the bedrooms, fantastic pool with warm water in a great neighbourhood, only steps from a beautiful, quiet beach. We watched the sunsets from our balcony or took the conveniently supplied camp stools to watch from the beach. Some nice restaurants and a small grocery store we could walk to. A short drive from horseback riding, Playa Conchal, the Westin where we got day passes and an hour's drive from Tamarindo where we went shopping. Just as important, our hosts were very responsive to our needs in advance of our trip, and while we were there. Friendly, lovely people. We would definitely come again.

Our family loved the location of Casa Circa Del Mar, it is wonderful being so close to the beach and not having to drive all the time . We also enjoyed the pool so much and had many wonderful meals outside on the Veranda . The house was amazing with so much space and has everything you need. The Host was very kind and always available and responsive. We were celebrating an 80th Birthday and she had decorations and candles for us which was very sweet.

Thank you very much for your review we appreciate it I hope to see you again

Marie was a great host. The home was just as described and fit our group of eight perfectly. Marie met us at the property upon arrival and was so fun to talk to. She was welcoming and full of information. She clearly wanted us to enjoy our stay, it was evident. She arranged for a rental golf cart to be present, we only had to sign paperwork. She was very responsive to all my inquiries and helpful with recommendations. Couldn't have asked for a better host. Plenty of bathroom that always had hot water and the kitchen and living room were great for morning coffee and evening dinners. Lots of wildlife around as we saw monkeys in the trees on several days. The area is quiet but just a few minutes from lots of different eateries, shops, beaches. The Potrero beach was so peaceful, great for morning walks and swims for young kids as waves are modest. The pool is a wonderful alternative to the ocean. The garden and pool are tended to daily. Without question, we would return!

The house is in a great location, if you are looking for a reasonable house in a small rural community, close to the beach, then this is a good choice. The house is just steps to an amazing beach, where we were often the only ones on the beach. We missed having a dining room table in the house, but there is one outside (as described in ad). Always felt safe both on the property, on the beach and in town. Any issues we had with the house were immediately addressed by the host, which was much appreciated.
