Beautiful House in Potrero with Sweeping Ocean Views, a Modern Design, and a Private Pool

Isla en el Cielo is a spacious three-bedroom home in Pacific Heights — a safe, high-end neighborhood of luxury homes tucked away in the mountains surrounding Playa Potrero.

The home features a bright, airy, open-concept living space with a living room, dining area, and kitchen. The living room is furnished with a blue linen couch, a wooden coffee table, plush ottomans, and a flat-screen TV.  Behind the sofa, there is a wooden dining table with seating for six people. The living and dining areas are situated next to a large sliding glass door that opens to the home’s patio space.

The spacious floor plan also features a massive chef’s kitchen with high-end white quartz countertops and state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, including an oven, stovetop, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, and freezer. The modern kitchen also has a stylish light-blue tile backsplash, tons of sleek white cabinets and drawers for storage, and a large quartz center island with two rattan chairs under an elegant light fixture.

The master bedroom features a laid-back coastal theme with a blue comforter patterned with palm leaves and two stylish rattan light fixtures above the king-sized bed. It also features a flat-screen TV, a walk-in closet, and a sliding glass patio door that leads to a private patio with ocean views. The second and third bedrooms each feature a bright, inviting tropical design with rattan light fixtures and a sliding glass patio door. The second bedroom has a king bed, and the third has a queen bed.

Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, and there is an additional bathroom in the hallway. The master bathroom features a walk-in shower with beautiful stonework, a separate tub, and a double-sink vanity.

When you walk out the patio door in the living room, you’ll be greeted by a beautiful covered patio with a new dining set and comfortable outdoor seating, as well as a barbecue grill and a couple of lounge chairs to soak up the sunshine. Venture down the walkway and stairs in the backyard to reach the swimming pool — a stunning infinity pool that overlooks the Pacific Ocean and lush mountains surrounding Playa Potrero. This property also features a guesthouse with two additional bedrooms that you can book for up to 12 guests.

House in the sky, This is a lovely home. We had a wonderful time. We decided not to rent a car and now wish we had. The drive up to the house is EXTREMELY steep. This is not a walking location. However, with the height you get spectacular views. We ended up using Uber a few times to go out to dinner and grocery shopping. While we all want to save water, the hot water system is not very efficient. The showers have to run for quite some time to get warm., not saving on water much.

We had the most amazing time staying here with family. Perfect for the kids and the views are way better than the photos! Maikol the maintenance guy was FANTASTIC and was there when and if we needed him also maintained the pool and backyard every morning so we woke up to it clean. He was very responsive and we enjoyed speaking with him about Costa Rica. We will 100% be back! Thank you Special Places!

Beautiful views. Feels like you are swimming amongst the clouds. The house was decorated tastefully, could use a few updates like the lounge chairs by the pool and grill area. The master shower was impossible to get hot water in but later was resolved. All in all, a great experience. TIP about getting to the house Monkey trail has another way through Congo trail it is 10$ to pass through a better road. Do not take jungle roads. Take the roads closer to the other houses. It is longer but it beats getting stuck in the mud.

This home is a DREAM! The views are even better than the pictures. The location and area are wonderful! Don’t hesitate to book this home. A few things to note - the drive up is not for the faint of heart. You must have a 4x4 and patience. All that being said, we survived many trips up and down in the dark and rain even. It is worth the drive up! Also, there is plenty of hot water, it just takes time for it to heat up, like 5+ minutes in the master bedroom. But, we had 5 of us using hot water and showering all at the same time and it never ran out. It was easy to keep the home cool and it was clean. They even had a maid stop and clean half way through our trip. Mikhail, the on-site groundskeeper, is so friendly. Special Places manages this place fairly well. Please note that they will send you many messages re: other services they can help you book. This may be a positive or a negative depending on who you are. Overall, an incredible experience. We will stay here again!
