Modern Beach House Surrounded by Nature - Houses for Rent in Potrero, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

The house was very nice, spacious and safe. We particularly liked the inner courtyard, with its large tree that provides shade around the pool. It was really a great place to relax. Our host was extremely proactive throughout the stay. He suggested activities, checked some information for us, and regularly made sure that everything was going well. He responded instantly to all our questions about the house. The surprise visit of a huge iguana in the courtyard also added a memorable moment to our stay! The location is excellent. Potrero Beach is very close, and Las Catalinas is about 15 minutes away. We loved this place: a beautiful little village, a superb beach with impressive waves, and monkeys in the trees! We had a lovely stay and would recommend this house without hesitation.

La maison était très jolie, spacieuse et sécuritaire. Nous avons particulièrement aimé la cour intérieure, avec son grand arbre qui apporte de l’ombre autour de la piscine. C’était vraiment un endroit agréable pour relaxer. Notre hôte a été extrêmement proactif tout au long du séjour. Il nous a proposé des activités, a vérifié certaines informations pour nous et s’est régulièrement assuré que tout se déroulait bien. Il répondait instantanément à toutes nos questions concernant la maison. La visite surprise d’un énorme iguane dans la cour a également ajouté un petit moment mémorable à notre séjour! L’emplacement est excellent. La plage de Potrero est tout près et Las Catalinas se trouve à environ 15 minutes. Nous avons adoré cet endroit: un magnifique petit village, une superbe plage avec d’impressionnantes vagues et des singes dans les arbres! Nous avons passé un très beau séjour et recommandons sans hésitation cette maison.

Spacious and very nice house. As described and as shown in pictures. Would be great for a couple families staying together. Could use some pictures/ art and rugs to make it feel more comfortable, but that’s just personal preference. Be sure to bring any cooking oil, salt and pepper, sugar, and coffee as none are provided.

Thank you for hosting us in Costa Rica! We enjoyed our stay and will recommend your home to future visitors.

Just finished up my stay and what can I say about this place. Beautiful home, great layout, all the amenities in the kitchen. The pool was amazing and the grill added the extra touch we were looking for. Do yourself a favor a gather some friends and head over to this place. Enjoy!

House is beautiful and as described. Host was responsive and provided information as requested.  Kitchen and living room areas spacious. Bedrooms as described. Pool was nice for relaxation. Area was monitored by security cameras and felt safe. Surrounding roads by home were not paved. Renting a van to get around was a plus.

The place was beautiful the layout had me and my group in Awe, the host was very responsive , he would text back immediately and was able to solve any issue promptly it was almost like he slept with the phone in his hand I could not have asked for a more beautiful place and responsive host

My family of six enjoyed their stay in such a magnificent place.  We felt safe, comfortable and with absolutely everything we needed to make our four nights and 5 days unforgettable. The location allowed us to visit Las Catalinas, Playa Danta, Playa Potrero, Playa Brasilito, Playa Flamingo and Conchal. We never had to travel more than 25 minutes by car, which we thought was fantastic.  We recommend this beautiful place with peace of mind.

Mi familia de seis personas disfrutó al máximo su estancia en tan magnífico lugar.  Nos sentimos seguros, cómodos y con absolutamente todo lo necesario para que nuestras cuatro noches y 5 días fueran inolvidables. La ubicación nos permitió conocer Las Catalinas, Playa Danta,  Playa Potrero, Playa Brasilito, Playa Flamingo y Conchal. Nunca tuvimos que desplazarnos más de 25 minutos en carro lo cual nos pareció fantástico .  Recomendamos con toda tranquilidad este hermoso lugar.

Everything was as described and the attention to details stood out from other similar places we look for. The property was beautiful and the pool was the cherry on the cake. Thanks for all the support during our stay.

We loved staying here! As a morning person, I loved being able to wake up naturally with the light through the windows, walking outside to see much of the local wildlife. The home is very clean and minimalist, which we loved since this was a family vacation. However, it also had everything needed for the caterers, beach gear, and other things we've found a lot of other homes to be missing. The host was very responsive and communicated with us regularly to make sure we were enjoying our stay. And, when we had to change our plans, he worked with us to make sure everything progressed smoothly. I highly recommend this home and this host!

Beautiful place to stay we had a lovely time there x

Slice of Paradise was a wonderful home for two families with ample space for all and a great space to gather around the pool area.  Potrero is a special place and Slice of Paradise was the perfect home for our stay.  We will definitely stay here again.

Great house and pool. Loved seeing all the birds and iguanas and hearing the howler monkeys in the morning. Good location to walk to restaurants and easy drive to area beaches.

We had a great stay, this place was very clean and comfortable. There were 7 of us and we did quite a bit of cooking. the kitchen is very modern and up to date. We saw almost zero bugs inside the house in contrast to when I've stayed in older buildings in town. The pool area and courtyard are perhaps a little smaller than I thought, but well done and usable. Plenty of entertainment from iguanas, squirrels and birds, and howler monkeys across the street at times. The only downside was it was about a 15 minute walk to the beach down dirt roads, and we didn't do it as much as I thought we would. Great restaurants about ten minutes walking. Very convenient location by car for Potrero/Surfside/Flamingo. All in all highly recommended!

Everything's excellent, highly recommended!

Good vibe, good equipment nice neighborhood nice house overall

We loved our stay! Dream house, we just wanted to move in! Slice of Paradise was very responsive, and helpful (they even helped organize our activities for free). Highly recommend! We had a few extra guests along the way (Geicos) but besides them the stay was perfect!

Beautiful home that was well taken care of.  All modern amenities near great beaches and restaurants. Peaceful home and  area that offers a relaxing environment. Danta beach is a must on 10 minutes north.  Only suggestion is that home doesn’t offer items for beach like chairs or cooler. A grill might be nice too. Overall a wonderful place !! A desirable come back home !

This was the perfect stay! The Airbnb was super clean and the host was extremely responsive. Definitely recommend!

The home was all we were expecting. Very modern , sleek and clean. Would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful escape.

The “Slice of Paradise” is the absolute best description of this gorgeous location. It was spotless, centrally located, and so private. Ben is a dream of a host and was so helpful with tips, recommendations, and helping us to set up a driver plus excursions. This was my all time favorite bnb stay to date. You won’t regret booking this getaway! I know I will be back asap!

Five star review ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.  Location was great! We had an amazing experience and made many beautiful memories. The house is just as pictured. Highly recommend!

The house itself was very Spartan and exceptionally clean.  We were very happy with our stay.

We loved the house, comfortable. The pool in the center gives you a lot of peace and easy to share with others. We recommend the place

Nos encantó la casa, cómoda. La piscina en el centro te da mucha paz y fácil para compartir con los demás. Recomendamos el lugar

Very beautiful, excellent security-location-privacy. A very peaceful place with good natural lighting and nature. The pool and garden cleaning staff is very respectful and friendly.

Muy hermoso, la seguridad-ubicación-privacidad excelente. Un lugar muy tranquilo y con buena iluminación natural y naturaleza. El personal de limpieza de piscina y jardín muy respetuosos y amables.

Thank you for staying with us Nicole. I am glad you enjoyed your time in our brand-new rental home.

Me and my family absolutely loved this place.

I am glad you had an amazing time in our rental villa in Costa Rica. Thank you for staying with us.

This home was absolutely beautiful! We were about 15 min walk to the Potrero beach, but we spent most of our time at Playa Flamingo (which was about a 5 min drive). Great restaurants in the area and located in a quiet and safe little neighbourhood. There were also street signs which helped us to get around! Being a relatively new Airbnb listing, there were a few minor things we suggested for future guests, but it wasn’t anything at all that affected our stay! They also accommodated a late check-out which was MUCH appreciated! All in all, great location, beautiful home, clean, and would definitely recommend.

We are glad you had a wonderful time at our Airbnb.

It is a very impressive experience staying in Slice of Paradise. The house is very beautiful, clean and modern. The beds are very comfortable. All the appliances are new and functional vey well. The place is close to the beach and the neighborhood is nice too. The host is very nice, helpful and replied quickly. He also provide us with travel recommendations. It is a very beautiful experience for us.
