Exclusive Retreat's 9 Room Private Resort Villa - Villas for Rent in Potrero, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Phenomenal stay. The Villa was beautiful and within walking distance to the beach. The staff made our stay so easy. I’d highly recommend this place for any large groups!

Amazing place and absolutely remarkable host. Helped us out every step of the way. Can’t recommend enough.

Amazing stay. The house is even nicer in person! Super clean, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything we needed. Kenny and his team were thoughtful, helpful, and made us feel genuinely welcome. They handled every detail with care and made our trip feel easy. We’ll definitely return and have already recommended it to friends.

We had a wonderful stay with 2 other families and loved the house. It comes well equipped and the bedroom setups are ideal for large groups looking for 6+ bedrooms as they are all have with their own en-suite bathroom. House is around the corner from a great coffee shop and 2 min walk to the beach.

Our stay at this Surfside in Costa Rica was nothing short of unforgettable. The property itself is stunning as pictured — spacious, peaceful, and surrounded by the kind of natural beauty that instantly melts your stress away. The villa was perfectly situated around food and the beach. The locals were very friendly. What truly made this villa special was the staff, Priscilla and Marcielle. They went above and beyond every single day, from the warm greetings in the morning to the thoughtful touches that made us feel so cared for. Their kindness, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality turned a beautiful trip into a deeply memorable experience. The rooms were cleaned daily and clothes washed. Breakfast was cooked daily and always delicious. It was so easy and smooth to work with the staff and villa. Anything you’re looking for, they’re willing to help. If you’re looking for a place that feels like paradise with service that feels like family, this is the one.

We absolutely loved the layout of the house and the house itself.  It was perfect!  The onsite staff was so kind and efficient.  They even did our laundry for us.  I actually thought their cooking was better than the chef we hired a couple of nights.  It's walking distance to the beach...super close.  And walking distance to a market,  coffee shop, Hemingways, and another beach club.  We could golf cart to Mar Vista where pickleball was as well. Uber available and cheap for getting around to farther than "golf cart"destinations.  Surfing lessons was a lot of fun, massages were fantastic and the highlight was an all day catamaran through Panache. Highly recommend. This was located out of the Marina (also golf cart distance).  We wanted to see the waterfalls but didn't want to spend 2 hours in the car there and back.  Costa Rica was wonderful.  The house was perfect.  And everyone had an amazing time.

Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled you loved the layout of the house, the location, and that the onsite team could make your stay even more comfortable. We also love Hemingways—it’s such a great spot! It sounds like you all made the most of everything Costa Rica has to offer, from surfing lessons to the catamaran. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

We had an absolutely wonderful time. From the moment we arrived, my family and I felt our vacation spirit come alive. The house struck the perfect balance between privacy and togetherness. Each of us had our own space to unwind, while the common areas were inviting and cozy enough to gather for meals, games, or just watching TV. The staff were amazing. They treated us like family, keeping the house spotless and ensuring we had everything we needed. The daily laundry service was a delightful surprise and made traveling light a breeze. The overall atmosphere was tranquil and rejuvenating. It was exactly what we hoped for, quiet enough to relax, but with enough activities nearby to keep things interesting. If you’re looking for a relaxing, worry free getaway, I highly recommend this house. It’s a special place that made lasting memories for our family, and we’d love to return someday.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled the house provided the perfect balance of privacy and togetherness, and that our staff could make your stay even more enjoyable. It sounds like you made some lasting memories, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

What an absolutely amazing place! We chose this place for our university reunion and it did not disappoint. Spacious, clean, great pool, attentive staff and so near the beach. The breakfast was delicious, the staff made our stay truly special. It’s going to be very hard to beat this place, we were truly spoilt. Thank you so much. Highly recommend staying here.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled your reunion was such a success and that you enjoyed the space, pool, beach, and our team’s hospitality. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

We stayed at the property with a total of 4 families (15 people).  We loved that we could commune in the main house but each had our own, private rooms/casitas to use.  The maids were unbelievable.  They even did our laundry every day!  The house is perfectly located.  We loved how each day started with a fresh breakfast that was made for us.  I would not hestiate to recommend this house.  It was truly an amazing location and home base for our vacation.

This property has a unique layout that works so well for large groups. Unlike a sharing a big house, where someone inevitably gets the better bedroom/bathroom/view, this setup gives everyone equal accommodations (which are simply lovely). The 8 suites, which each surround the pool, have everything you want/need and are decorated adorably. Beds are super comfy. In addition, the common spaces bring everyone together and are top-notch. We enjoyed having room to gather and places to have alone time. The home is staffed throughout the day, and we barely had to wash a dish. They provide breakfast and housekeeping, and as a special bonus, do your laundry daily! The team was kind and tried to be unintrusive. The concierge service worked well, and they were quite responsive via Whats App. Potrero Beach wasn't the nicest to spend the day, but nearby Flamingo Beach was beautiful. We took the golf carts between the two and relied on shuttle service for longer excursions. Overall A+.

Beautiful home and staff! Everything was much better than my expectations

Absolutely unreal. Better than the photos. The house and staff were 5 star all the way. We never wanted to leave. Each little house is so cute and private, everyone loved their space. The staff was the best part, they are the nicest people you can meet.

We were pleasantly surprised to learn breakfast and daily laundry were included. Wish we had known.

had my birthday here with all 10 of my girlfriends and had an absolute blast , this place is beautiful and the staff is outstanding!

An absolutely stunning full service property with daily breakfast and cleaning services included. The property is across the street from the beach, a fruit vendor and amazing little coffee shop and a quick golf cart ride away from some great restaurants. I hosted a women’s wellness retreat at this property and it was the perfect set up for what we planned. Each bedroom is like its own little private suite. The pool was wonderful and the daily breakfast they prepared was delicious. We had a little difficulty finding the villa with the addresses provided to us, but if you enter Nita’s Coffee into Waze - the house is next to it and easy to fine. Shout out to Esteban who helped us with any need we had!  He was so kind to us, assisting us with confirming all of our transportation needs, making recommendations for where to eat, coordinating the details of our excursions and making sure our retreat guests were comfortable. He went above and beyond for our group. Would love to return again.

Great experience at this lovely home! Property is well maintained and has everything you need to enjoy the stay.

Awesome stay! Great recommendations that lead to an amazing trip. Exactly as depicted, service was outstanding! Worth the hour drive from Liberia Airport. Recommend getting your own car and seeing the local area. Their welcome book had great recommendations, highly recommend the Adventure Day at the park. We stayed here with 27 people and had plenty of space and they were on top of it and ready for us. Laundry, waters, beers, chips, beach towels, beach umbrellas, you name it they had it! Beautiful quite beach and great place to find a boat to fish on.

The villa was absolutely Beautiful!! Everything was described exactly how it was. The pictures were exactly how the villa was in person! I will definitely book again! Everything was fabulous! The private Chef Thomas was Great! The welcoming was good as well! My guest and I had a Beautiful Time. Thank you to Lilian and the entire staff.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. You were a wonderful group to host.

This place is beautiful, close to several restaurants, and within walking distance of the beach. Also, close (driving) to Las Catalinas and other beaches. The place and bedrooms are so beautiful, and the staff was always close for anything we may need.

The main house as well as the casitas were absolutely amazing.  The entire setup was very private for our group offering personal privacy within each casita and amazing openness for the entire group when outside by the pool and within the main house.  Excellent layout.  The town of Portero is amazing, quaint, lots of friendly locals and gives out a local non-tourist vibe.  Flamingo Beach just down the street within golf cart ride distance is absolutely amazing as well.

Great place. Beautiful and spacious villa

This is one of the most beautiful and comfortable Airbnbs I've stayed in. It's gorgeously landscaped and well furnished, and the pool is super inviting. If you're offered breakfast, take it because it's quite good, and the nearest restaurant is a bit of a walk. The property manager is extremely responsive and is quite accommodating. 5 stars! Highly recommend if you have a large group or just want a beautiful place to stay.

Stop looking and book this home, you won’t be disappointed. This home was spectacular, perfect for our large group. Each room was like a hotel, the rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. Our group really enjoyed hanging out by the pool but also the great location to the beach and restaurants/shops.  The staff was great, Anna was very accommodating. We were able to get private massages at the house. Overall the villa exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to come back.

This Villa is amazing for a large group. We had 16 people with plenty of room for everyone. The pool was a highlight for the group. Having all the rooms surrounding the pool was nice. We all had our own patios. All of the rooms were very large and comfortable and the beds are amazing.  The best part of this house was everyone had a great room, its hard to find a house with 8 King beds.  We enjoyed being across the street from the beach and close to the restaurants.  Everything at this home was new and very clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and more. The staff was really nice and helpful. We will be back!
