La Casa Roja is a three-bedroom home in Surfside, a laid-back coastal neighborhood on the outskirts of Potrero, only two and a half blocks away from the beach.

The Space:
The “Red House” is gated and features an open-concept floor plan, as well as a private outdoor space complete with a swimming pool, a covered patio, and a pool deck equipped with lounge chairs.

The first floor of this two-story home features all of the home’s main gathering spaces: the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The living room features a couch and loveseat, a wooden coffee table, a colorful rug and throw pillows, as well as coastal-inspired artwork. There is also a powder room and a closet next to the front door, near the living room.

Behind the living room is a handcrafted wood dining table with four chairs. The dining room is situated next to a sliding door that opens onto the covered patio, featuring another wooden dining table with four chairs and a barbecue grill and smoker — perfect for al fresco meals in the tropical sunshine. There is an additional sliding glass door on the patio that leads into the kitchen. Beyond the covered patio lies a sparkling swimming pool and pool deck with lounge chairs, outdoor furniture, and a tiki-style umbrella.

The spacious kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring a wrap-around granite countertop and a breakfast bar with four barstools, as well as high-end wood cabinets and drawers. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, including a massive refrigerator and freezer, an oven and cooktop with a range hood, a microwave, and a dishwasher. The kitchen also features an elegant tan-and-brown tiled backsplash.

This home features three bedrooms, all located upstairs, providing comfortable accommodations for a total of six guests. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed, set against a bright red accent wall, along with a flat-screen TV, ceiling fan, and ample closet space. This bedroom also features a private balcony and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower with a rainfall showerhead.

The second bedroom features a queen-sized bed, a ceiling fan, and a large picture window that offers a stunning view of the pool. The third bedroom features two twin-sized beds (that can be pushed together to form a king-sized bed), a flat-screen TV, and a private balcony. These two bedrooms share a bathroom with a single-sink vanity and a walk-in shower with a rainfall showerhead.

La Casa Roja is walled and gated for your safety, and the entire home is equipped with air conditioning and internet for your comfort and convenience. The front door and garage can be accessed with remote controls. The garage features a washer and dryer, as well as beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards that can be used at the beach during your stay in Guanacaste.

La Casa Roja is situated in the coastal community of Surfside, located between Las Catalinas and Playa Flamingo on the outskirts of Potrero. Potrero is a laid-back beach town on Costa Rica’s Gold Coast that is about a one-hour drive from the Liberia International Airport. It’s home to several local restaurants, bars, shops, and a great launching point for adventures like horseback riding and ziplining.

Surfside is also located near Playa Potrero, a gorgeous beach in Guanacaste that is a popular spot for snorkeling, scuba diving, and fishing — so load up all the beach gear at La Casa Roja into the car for a day of “fun in the sun” at this golden-sand beach in Costa Rica!

The Neighborhood:
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.

Getting Around:
Our agents will be happy to assist you with renting a car, giving you the freedom to explore the area where you want, when you want. For short drives to nearby towns or beaches, golf carts are another popular mode of transportation. You can also rent a bicycle to ride around in town or beyond.

We can arrange transfers to and from the airport. Rental cars can also be delivered to your property at no additional cost, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenery as our private van drives you here from the airport.

Taxis are available but can be a bit hard to find. Many locals use buses to get around, though there are a limited number of routes and times of day when you can catch them. Private shuttles can be a great option for traveling to nearby destinations, and many tour companies offer transportation to and from the tour. Our information brochure will provide you with useful information on local transportation options and points of interest, as well as contact information for taxis and shuttles.
