Besides having very nice weather, our condo was really nicely setup, very clean and everything worked, and the pool very near the beach was perfect for our grandchildren. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare/enjoy many meals there.

Amazing location

Our family group of eight was extremely happy with all aspects of our stay in Potrero. The access to the beach could not have been better. The view from the balcony had an amazing sunset every evening. It was convenient to restaurants and long morning walks on the beach.

Great location and accommodations

El Destino Penthouse is great for a family or friends traveling together. With 4 bedrooms, large kitchen and a large terrace, it makes for a great vacation.The ocean waves are great in the morning or afternoon., and can wade in for hours.The market a block away is great for replenishing or buying groceries or general items.

Perfect family stay

The penthouse was perfect for our family vacation. The house is spacious, tastefully decorated and well equipped. We lacked nothing in our stay. There was no need for a beach tent because of the shade of the almond trees which reached the high tide line.

One of the best ever

We are a multi generational family of nine. We had an amazing stay at El Destino Penthouse. It was one of the best equipped units we have ever stayed in. Communication with the owner was over and above what was necessary. The grounds were very well kept and comfortable. The location is one of the best in Potrero. We would highly recommend staying there.

El Destino is divine

Just stayed here for a week with my 19 year old daughter and her friends. It was amazing! Beautiful weather even though the "rainy" season. Peaceful and restful stay. The condo has all you need in the kitchen, bedrooms, laundry, etc. The only surprising issue was that the penthouse is on the 3rd floor and there's no elevator so just pack light in smaller suitcases or backpacks and let the teenagers do the heavy lifting.
Response from VrboOwner on 31 March 2020
Thanks so much for your review and we're so glad you all had a good time. Also, just wanted to let you know that our staff is always willing and available to tote luggage, groceries, etc., up the stairs in case you don't have teenagers to do the heavy lifting. Thanks again!

Wonderful family time

We had a beautiful stay at Chris's El Destino Penthouse. It's large with lots of spaces to congregate or have solo time. The kitchen has everything you could need. The outdoor patio is well equipped with table and comfortable chairs and has a stunning view of the Pacific. The beach is easily accessible on a path and the surf quiet for little ones but possible to Boogie Board at certain times. It's a short walk up the beach to a couple of restaurants which were easy and tasty. Chris, the owner, was wonderful to work with (even through some VRBO snafus) and provided lots of information about the area. All in all, El Destino was a great success!

Wonderful place!

We stayed in Playa Flamingo for 7 days with 17 family members and wrapped up our trip at El Destino for the last 3 days with only 7 of us. We had 4 adults, 2 toddlers and an infant and this condo was perfect. It was huge and very child friendly. The owners have stocked it with everything you'll ever need and the staff are friendly and very helpful. It is within walking distance of several great restaurants and a grocery store. Chris was extremely helpful and provided us with a recommendation list that was spot on. I can't say enough positive things about this place! We will be back!
