About this property

Casa Melosa Villa in Playa Potrero/Flamingo Costa Rica

Hi everyone! I am the owner (Mary Anne) of Casa Melosa. We have great reviews on THE other popular platform. You know which one that is; If you look us up there and read all 68 to 79 reviews; you will understand the transformation. These reviews on VRBO are 9 years ago when a previous contractor made a mess of things! I PERSONALLY now manage the property and control things. Those days are over.
We offer all the excursions tours, chef services can be prepared upon request with our great cook.
On-site masseuse for your added relaxation. We provide airport transportation to and from the airport. Taxi services are all at very reasonable rates.

Casa Melosa is great for family groups, facilitators for retreats, wedding parties, birthday's or any other large group vacation function. We have an awesome fit pit and garden ice bath on site.
Our rooms are individual rooms just like a Villa complex on the property. Each sleeps 2 people per room in one queen size bed. Each of our 3 cabin rooms accommodate 1 queen bed. I also open up my tiny cabin room if extra is needed.

The upstairs suite has a king bed with an extra single bed in that room. There are 2 other queen bed rooms across the hall. We have 3 cabins rooms on the ground around the property, 3 upstairs rooms, and 1 room at the back of the property for a total of 7 rooms on the whole property. Think of it as an open concept Family dwelling.. We are in Playa Potrero/Flamingo area. Our pictures speak for themselves.

We have completely re-renovated the entire property. Expanded the pool and now have a deep end. All cabins are beautifully wood crafted with high bamboo ceilings. All rooms are Air Conditioned, ensuite washrooms, Ceiling Fans, Tv's, and internet throughout the whole property. Brand new linens and towels for comfort. Really hot water and extremely great water pressure.

About Us ~ about 300m from the pristine Pacific beach of Potrero - in Potrero Surfside community - is a small, peaceful, cluster of jungle joys!
Surrounded by palm trees and shrubs, flowers and mango, limon-mandarina and bamboo.
Location ~ Potrero Surfside is one of several small coastal communities and gorgeous beaches like Langosta, Grande, Conchal and Flamingo. Potrero Surside is interconnected with small, quiet, unpaved roads and a single paved coast road that connects the beaches and a bumpy rocky ‘monkey trail’ which acts as a shortcut to playas Hermosa & Panama and on to the main road to Liberia airport. Via the monkey trail the journey to the airport is just over an hour. Taking the longer, smoother paved roads you can add another 20-30 minutes depending on local conditions, such as cows on the road or tractors and harvested sugar-cane transportation.

There is a beautiful open concept kitchen/BBQ area on the property. If you need laundry done, ask our maids, they will kindly do it for you for a small tip. Outside shower for beach sand rinse off's. Parking and 24 hour security.

Our Rooms ~ 3 octagonal wooden cabinas with queen-sized beds - 2 with stone and 1 with wooden floors, ceiling fans, air-conditioning, tv, shower/ bathroom, and 4 more modern rooms upstairs, tiled floors, ceiling fans, air-conditioning, tv, shower bathroom

Retreat and relaxation
Our extended family of 12, ages ranging from 17-82, experienced a fabulous few days in Guanacaste using this hidden gem as our home base. We were able to connect easily with the property owner as well as the property hostess before arriving if we had any questions. Each cabin and room had its own unique feel, with newly updated bathrooms, flat screen TVs, AC and free secure internet access. The blue and turquoise tiled pool with its soothing rock waterfall was perfect for the 5-7 young adults In our family who were ready to cool off after a day at the beach. The property is a short walk to Playa Potrero, and less than a 10 minute drive to Playa Flamingo. At the suggestion of the gracious and knowledgeable hostess, Paola, we spent a day at Playa Penca, and an evening in Playa Tamarindo as well. When we arrived we were greeted with typical Costa Rican friendliness in the form of a tall glass of watermelon mint drink and cool, refreshing hand towels. A Tico style breakfast was expertly prepared by Jogeilin and Janeth, and served buffet style each morning. It included fresh fruits, Gallo pinto, eggs, toast with a variety of tropical fruit jams, orange juice and coffee. If you are looking for relaxing get-away with easy access to a variety of options for daily entertainment, this is the place! Definitely ”pura vida”!

Still under construction
In another 6-12 months, this place is going to be fabulous. However, when we arrived, the general grounds and even our cabina was quite unfinished. Stay here only if you can manage the dust, dirt, a plethora of moths and insects, (temporary) stained lamp shades and window coverings, and lack of ventilation despite a large floor fan. There was no door or even a drape on the bathroom and the light in the bathroom was a lamp with bare bulb sitting on a make-shift shelf. We declined all offers for a cup of coffee and fruit because the kitchen was filthy. The manager was disorganized; It took awhile for him to find the scrap of paper on which he had written the password for the wifi, and he also could not find the proper key to our hut until the next morning. He was, however, friendly and tried to be helpful. On the other hand, the water pressure in the shower was great - be aware of uneven stones in the floor of the shower. The owner is off-site and it is doubtful that she was aware of the conditions. However, she communicated well and even helped our shuttle find an acceptable drop-off site close to the cabinas. Perhaps another person could tolerate these conditions, seeing the potential down the road, but we found the place not quite habitable and left after the first night. The location was great - a short walk to a good beach.
