At Tropical Homes of Costa Rica, our mission is to give back to the community we live in and work at. As part of this commitment we work together with Abriendo Mentes in Playa Potrero and Barbara’s Animal Rescue. We want the not so fortunate members of our community to prosper and give them a chance.

Villa Oasis is so beautiful inside and out! It felt like a home away from home. I couldn’t think of a better place to stay for a romantic getaway. One of my favorite features of this home was the amazing master suite and especially the master bath!

The view from the backyard is absolutely breathtaking! Every chance we got, we spent in the backyard with poolside drinks. The porch on the second floor is also the perfect place to watch the sunrise every morning.

The view of the mountains is beautiful when driving up the road to the house which is a total breeze with the right car. There are also little pull-offs on the way up the road which are perfect for pictures with amazing views.

This was our first trip to Costa Rica and we are so happy we found this amazing condo after searching around. Kalli was so helpful from the initial invite request, through until we got checked in with so much information on places to eat, shop, sight-see, you name it. Olivia and Roxanna helped us with literally anything we needed during our trip, including getting set up with some tours and answering questions. The condo is beautiful, very clean, and I wish I could describe the peaceful atmosphere of listening to the waves and the birds while watching the most amazing sunsets. It was a great location to be able to visit different beaches. It’s so weird how different the beaches are from one another while literally being side-by-side! El Castillo was our favorite local place to eat as his food has the most amazing flavors! Margarita’s there were fabulous too. The fruit stand by the condo was handy and fruit here is definitely way better than what we get in Minnesota. What I enjoyed the most about our trip was the lack of crowds and chaos. The streets of Tamarindo were busy, but I was in awe while visiting Rincon de la Vieja National Park, which included a private tour guide, walking the trails, and visiting a waterfall that we weren’t surrounded by crowds unlike so many other places we’ve been. Same with the beaches and any restaurant- no waiting to get in at all. It was all so relaxing. I worry this will change and am grateful we were able to enjoy the country as-is. And we saw so many cool things right on Endless Beach. Besides the diving pelicans we saw jumping rays, sea snakes on the shoreline, puffer fish, and a small herd of cows who will walk along the shoreline with a stop at the adjacent estuary for a quick drink. It was all fabulous and much needed- though now that I’m back in Minnesota and am looking at another snow storm on the way, I wish I could’ve stayed longer. Thank you Kalli!

“We stayed at Villa Oro. It was amazing. Everything you need in a tropical paradise and more. The amenities exceeded our expectations. The views were amazing. The pool was the perfect size for our family of four. The kids spent more time in the pool than out. The sunsets were life changing. Relax with a glass of wine and simply watch. A special call out to the house staff – Miguel and Maria. Very friendly and personable. Maria’s massages are out of this world. Do not wait until the end to have one. You will want at least a couple.”

“Wow !! We stayed for 3 nights in this condo. Having known, we would have stayed longer. Was our most beautiful accommodation during our 3 weeks in Costa Rica. Very clean. There was nothing lacking. I can not find anything negative to say. View !!! Unbelievable !!! Very good quality Wi-Fi. Close to air-conditioned grocery store and restaurants. Lots of beach nearby including the most beautiful (in my opinion): Playa Conchal I would stay well all winter;) “

***** FIVE STARS *****

I cannot tell you how much my family and I enjoyed our recent vacation in Playa Portrero, Costa Rica. Our accommodations at the Pacific Beach Condominiums were, simply put, perfect.
We have traveled to many beautiful and tropical locations, have stayed at all-inclusive resorts as well as rented condos and luxury villas. None provided the amazing, local immersion as our visit to Costa Rica, and none provided a backdrop as beautiful and relaxing.
Our conversations with Rita and Roxana were highly informative and professional as we planned out our stay. I’m sure I was a bit of a high-maintenance client working to design the perfect vacation for our family, which included two young, energetic boys (seven and five years old). Rita quickly sought to understand what our family was looking for in a vacation and helped encourage us to stay at the Pacific Beach condos instead of another property that may not have been as well suited for our family. Roxana took the worry out of the up-front planning and set us up with two amazing tours during our stay. We ziplined at Congo Trail and took a 3+ hour private ATV excursion visiting all of the nearby beaches. Both experiences can only be described as amazing.
Upon our arrival to the condo, Jesus, the property manager, greeted us and even made a quick run to the grocery store for us as we were waiting for our rental car to be delivered. He made himself available to us for anything we needed during our stay and promptly answered my phone calls when we had questions.
The proximity of the condo to Portrero beach was perfect. The pool and condo grounds were well kept and helped make the trip very memorable. We felt right at home and didn’t want to leave after our week.
The food in Playa Portrero and neighboring towns was one of the true highlights. Some of the best food we’ve ever had anywhere in the world. The fresh fish and seafood was to die for.
Without a doubt, we hope to make many return trips to this area. I would highly recommend Tropical Homes of Costa Rica for anyone looking to experience this amazing country.

Pura Vida!
