Lovely Villa

Overall we were very happy with our stay - the home is exactly as pictured, cleaners went above and beyond with special touches in the home, and we felt secure on property with 24/7 security and gated access. Potrero is a pretty small town and the villa is easily walkable to restaurants and beaches. The property management team was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, whether helping with arranging travel, planning an experience, or having a hair dryer dropped off, we were able to get all the help we needed.

Six Nights at Casa Papaya

Overall the property is in a convenient location and nice complex with a large pool. The unit itself needs some improvements. The property comes with one key making it difficult for the group to split up. The king bed was too hard for us. The sheets did not stay on it well and there was no mattress pad so you end up sleeping on the mattress. The unit could benefit from more indoor/outdoor hooks to hang up all your wet things. One hook in the bathroom kept falling off the wall. The Roku never worked on the TV. When we booked the unit on VRBO there were no reviews. A few weeks before our arrival, we saw the review about the Roku. It was not fixed upon our arrival. We purchased batteries for the remote, but that did not resolve the issue. The electricity went out four times. One time it went out after sunset with someone in the shower. We heard power outages are common. The unit would benefit from providing a flashlight for these occasions. The unit was crawling with ants at night. Neighbors mentioned they have their units fumigated. We also had a couple of cute lizard visitors in the unit. The property management was easy to reach and responsive yet some of the items may require action by the owners to resolve longer term.

Cute Clean Casita

Cute, clean little Casita in a great and safe location that is minutes away from the beach and restaurants. The check in process was really smooth, but we did have to communicate directly with the company outside of VRBO and sign a lease and pay them directly, which felt like a scam but it worked out even though it was kind of a hassle. A bit smaller than it looked online but still perfectly adequate for our needs. Kitchen had literally anything you could want. The bed was huge but a bit on the hard side. Very well priced and cute little get away!
