Fantastic home & location

We loved Casa Columbine! Really quiet and private, we especially enjoyed the pool and backyard area, as well as some of the other amenities like beach chairs, coolers, and kayak! Highly recommend.

Third Time Back at Casa Columbine!

This was our third stay at Casa Columbine so obviously we love it and feel very comfortable here! This time our son was able to join us and was well accommodated in the second bedroom. He really loved it, too. Our two daughters and families with young children also joined us in Costa Rica, staying at another house nearby (also managed by Tropical Homes, a real plus) and they were able to enjoy the pool a couple of times as well. Overall, this is the perfect house for us- very private yard, lovely pool, a short walk to the beach or to restaurants nearby. We rented a golf cart for our stay and that was just right for us. The house had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our stay. Michelle from Tropical Homes helped us set up airport transportation, golf carts, outings, and was generally helpful with various recommendations. Another wonderful trip and we hope to be back again in the future!

Casa Columbine an Oasis in Potrero Costa Rica

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful, comfortable home. Perfectly set up for 2 couples or a family. Well equipped kitchen with everything you need! Things like dish detergent, dishwasher detergent, paper towels, toilet paper all provided. Lots of pool toys, folding chairs and beach towels for use. Very good a.c in all areas. A must with temperatures in the high 30’s while we were there. Very good communication with our concierge Michelle. All questions answered and her introductory tour covered everything. The extensive written suggestions and “things to know” is much appreciated. Great access to all the necessary shops are close by and a great selection of good restaurants nearby. The pool and outdoor shaded area (with fans)

About the host

Hosted by Mike Malone

I fell in love with Costa Rica during my first visit here in 2005. Casa Columbine is named after the state flower of Colorado, and is a life long dream come t0 have my very own beach home! I first visited Potrero in February 2015, and from the first view of the bay from Las Brisas Bar, and throughout my week here, it felt right. There is a laid-back, authentic, quiet, and friendly feeling to this place that is so refreshing.

We look forward to many happy and healthy times here with family and friends, and we look forward to sharing such a special place with you! Check out our “Activities” page for our best information and recommendations for you!

We hope you enjoy the ease and tranquility of Casa Columbine. Cheers to the good life!

Pura Vida! from Mike
