Great Place near great beaches.

The condo was as expected, very clean and with all the necessary amenities. Love the location, walking distance to restaurants and grocery stores and a few minutes driving from awesome Beaches. Flawless communication with Michael and Lis.

Weekend getaway

Perfect place to enjoy a weekend. Reservation process was easy and very easy to communicate with the property manager. The condo is in a very secure area with gated entry. Very close to many restaurants and great beaches. The condo is very spacious and a well stocked kitchen. The property is well maintained and the pool was a nice place to relax as well.

Great property in a fabulous location 5 minutes from the beach and just a few minutes to a coffee shop and local gym. Restaurants and markets are within walking distance too. The property could use updates, but the pool is wonderful and has many loungers. There is also a propane bbq grill available for use, plus a covered parking spot and 24 hour security. The unit is quite large and communication with the property manager is great. Just a note that the beds are very firm and the sofas are not comfortable.

Happy with our stay

The property was pretty much as described. Not quite as big as depicted. The only issue was that the pool was having maintenance done while we were there, we were not informed a head of time and was only told by the neighbour's. Lost a couple of days of being able to use it.

Way better than advertised!

We were pleasantly surprised with the space, it was much larger than we anticipated! The hosts were very quick to respond to the very few inquiries we had as everything was as it was described. The location us fantastic and within walking distance to the town and the beach. Gate security was fantastic! We had a wonderful stay!

Beautiful apartment with everything you need. Comfortable beds, a/c plus fans, refreshing pool.

American style apartment. Extremely clean and comfortable. Feels like new. About 5 minute walk to a dark sand so so beach. If you have a car you can drive to some of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. Recommend Playa Penca, playa Mina and Conchal. 5 minute walk to fruit market and 10 minute walk to supermarket. Free access to beach club with discounts on food and water equipment rental.

Sweetness in Potrero

Great and relaxing place to stay. Potrero was a very laid-back, low-key community of the type that I would think very attractive to someone who just wants to take it easy, and absorb some Costa Rican warmth. Easy access to a great beach, fine eateries, all without the hustle and bustle of urbanity. The condo was great in every way!

A great condo in Potrero!

We had a wonderful time with our 3 children in this condo. It was very clean and comfortable with a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed the sailing center for lunch, drinks and swimming in the ocean and pool. Coco Loco in flamingo is amazing for beach side dinner at sunset. Breakfast or sunset drinks at the Bahia is also a must.

Great location!

Would HIGHLY recommend this condo... not only do you have all the luxuries of home, but you get to immerse yourself into the local culture. Great location -- You can walk to the grocery store or fresh fruit market, there are plenty or great restaurants around (within walking distance) and the beach is across the street (a great beach!). It is in a gated community for extra safely and all other tenants are friendly and very helpful. Enjoy your stay in Coast Rica!

A great liitle oasis

We spent Feb. 2014 at Surfside Towers. Loved it. Very confortable unit, warm pool, extra clean condo, nice people. Close to fruit stand, several bars and rstaurants and a couple of food stores. Across the road from Potrero beach. We rented a car for a few days, took cabs and local buses to other beaches, way cheaper and less risky than driving. Great spot to explore the West Coast. Will return.

Our Costa Rican Experience

Dear Tres Hermanos, We could not have had a better time at Surfside Towers and in Costa Rica. Your condo was perfect for us. We were very comfortable and having the pool right outside our door was fantastic. We met many wonderful people residing at Surfside and enjoyed their company. We can't say enough good things about William. We really appreciated getting to know him. He was very patient with me as I practiced my Spanish with him daily. The other part-time staff were also very helpful. One of the many things we really appreciated about staying at your condo was the real world Costa Rican experience right outside your door. The howler monkeys, the dusty roads with cattle roaming the streets, the open air Castillo restaurant with dogs walking in and out, the ocean beaches nearby. So many people with whom we talked were staying at sanitized, all-inclusive resorts. We felt we had the best of both worlds at Surfside, a comfortable place to stay and yet close access to a Costa Rican experience. Our tours to Monte Verde and Palo Verde were both extraordinary. All four of us rated this trip as one of the best we have ever taken. So thanks to you Tres Hermanos for sharing your space with us. Doug and Rob, I and sure that you'll be surprised to hear that we also appreciated being able to meet and spend some time with Michael and Suzanne both of whom were very welcoming and enjoyable people to be with. Thanks again making your Costa Rican home available to us. Dick & Kathie
