Casa Tortuga is a contemporary three-bedroom townhome located in the vibrant community of Surfside on the southern side of Potrero. This two-story home can accommodate up to eight guests and features a beautifully landscaped outdoor space with a private pool and a bright, inviting living and dining space with a serene seaside color palette and design. The heart of the condo is an open-concept living room, dining space, and kitchen with high ceilings and brand-new furniture. The living room showcases a plush seafoam-green sectional, a flat-screen TV, and coastal artwork and decor that give the space a laid-back “beachy” feel. The elegant kitchen features high-end granite countertops, beautiful wood cabinets and drawers, and brand-new stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator, oven, stovetop, and microwave. The kitchen also features a stainless steel farmhouse sink on the island and a breakfast bar for three guests. The high-top dining table is situated between the living room and kitchen and can seat six guests. The kitchen is next to a multi-panel sliding glass door that opens to a grassy backyard with a pristine swimming pool, a thatched balcony with an outdoor sectional, and plenty of places to lounge around, including four lounge chairs, four regular chairs, and a hammock. The outdoor space is surrounded by lush trees and is landscaped with palms to create a sense of serenity and privacy. The master bedroom is located upstairs and features a queen-sized bed, a flat-screen TV, and an ensuite bathroom with brand-new amenities and fixtures, including a tiled walk-in shower, a relaxing soaking tub, and a double-sink vanity. The second and third bedrooms are located upstairs, and each has a bunk bed with a plush double and single mattress. Each upstairs room features a walk-out furnished balcony that overlooks the yard, and both rooms share a sleek bathroom with a walk-in shower. Each bedroom shares the same laid-back coastal design as the living room, with beach-themed comforters, throw pillows, and artwork. This property has a gated entrance, a carport, a powder room, a laundry room, and an outdoor shower to wash off sand from the beach. The home is equipped with internet access and air conditioning, and it is only a ten-minute walk from Playa Potrero. Pet-friendly policy We welcome your furry friends at our property! Before you book, each pet must be verified and approved based on breed and size (max 35 lbs.), accompanied by a recent photo. A refundable pet fee of $200 per stay, along with an additional cleaning fee of $50 + 13% per pet, is required to ensure our home remains pristine for all guests. We allow up to two pets per reservation. Pets must be kept on a leash at all times in public areas within the property grounds. Certain properties and complexes may have specific rules and registration requirements. Pets need to be verified at least 24 hours prior to check-in. If guests arrive at check-in with unverified pets, access to the property will be denied. Owners are responsible for their pets' behavior and any damages incurred. Pets should not be left unattended within the property. For any questions or further details about our pet policy, feel free to contact us! Surfside is a charming community on Playa Potrero where many expats live permanently (in particular Canadians and Italians), and where visitors can choose from a wide range of elegant vacation rentals, appetizing restaurants and lively bars. Located between the towns of Potrero and Flamingo, Surfside is an eminently walkable village where the beach is never more than a few blocks away. Several tour offices offer a variety of adventures by land and sea, and real estate offices will be happy to show you your next home in paradise. Attractions you won’t want to miss include the beachfront Sailing Center (restaurant, bar, pool and sailing packages); the popular Perlas restaurant (a high-end roadhouse/sports bar with big-screen TVs, live music, and great wings, burgers and pizzas); the Cervecería Independiente craft brewery between the two; and other local eateries including the Shack and the Beach House. The lines are somewhat blurred between Potrero and Surfside — Potrero (“pasture”) was the original Costa Rican name of both, but Surfside became the popular name when a lot of foreigners began developing its southern outskirts. Most people would probably say that Potrero starts somewhere north of Perlas, and it’s Surfside to the south. In either place, you can’t go wrong. Special Places of Costa Rica is committed to protecting our properties and complying with short-term rental regulations, which is why all guests are required to complete an independent verification with our trusted partner, TRUVI, before check-in. You will be contacted via email, text, or app notification with instructions to complete this process. As part of the verification, you will need to choose between paying a refundable security deposit (which includes a non-refundable 2% processing fee) or purchasing a non-refundable damage waiver, which protects you in case of accidental damage during your stay. We strongly recommend the damage waiver, as it provides peace of mind and avoids tying up funds with a deposit. Both the TRUVI verification and your selection of either the deposit or the damage waiver must be completed prior to your arrival. Failure to complete either step may result in being denied access to the property and forfeiting the rental without refund. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
