Exquisite Home & Pool, walk to Beach by SPCR | House in Santa Cruz

Summary:
Casa Sonterra in Surfside/Potrero is an elegant, fabulously equipped 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with a private pool, just a 5-minute walk from the beach.
The Space:
The living room and kitchen share a large common area, with three sliding-glass doors overlooking the pool area and back yard. There is a wall-mounted TV, blue fabric sofa and loveseat, straight-backed chair, and a Guanacaste coffee table, with beach-themed artwork.
Three spacious bedrooms all have newer air-conditioning units and ceiling fans, and all have ample closet space. The upstairs master bedroom has a king-size bed, an attached bathroom, a large walk-in closet and a television.
A sliding-glass door upstairs opens onto a large private balcony with a small table and two chairs, plus a rocking chair. The view is of palm, Guanacaste and plumeria trees, hibiscus, bougainvillea and other flowering plants, with mountains in the distance.
The two downstairs bedrooms have sliding-glass doors that access the backyard pool area and rancho. One has a queen bed and one has two twins.
The two bathrooms have tiled floors, large mirrors, ceiling fans, and plenty of counter space. The upstairs bath has a shower and tub, while the downstairs bath has a large walk-in shower.
The kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, including a dishwasher, microwave and a newer refrigerator and oven. It has granite countertops, island seating for two, plenty of cabinet and counter space, and even air conditioning. A rectangular dining table made of local Guanacaste wood seats six.
A beautiful blue pool anchors the back yard, along with the rancho, a roofed shelter with outdoor dining furniture and ceiling fan. Behind the rancho is a picnic table next to a barbecue grill.
This 560-square-meter home is surrounded by 7-foot walls, with a decorative gated iron wall in front. It has outdoor cameras and an outdoor/indoor alarm system. Indoor sliding-glass doors have removable door bars for added security.
The house has a separate laundry room with washer and dryer, as well as an attached single-car garage. The home is equipped with good Wi-Fi.
Casa Sonterra, Surfside and beyond
Surfside is a delightful little town on the southern outskirts of Potrero (between Flamingo and Las Catalinas). It’s very popular with both visitors and expats, boasting a three-block main street lined with restaurants, bars, shops, tour agencies, a grocery store and a pharmacy.
There’s good eating and entertainment at the famous Perlas Bar, the Bahía del Sol Hotel and the Costa Rica Sailing Center, which serves food and drink poolside right in front of Potrero Beach.
A string of other gorgeous beaches are a short drive away, as is the brand-new, state-of-the-art Marina Flamingo.

The Neighborhood:
Surfside is a charming community on Playa Potrero where many expats live permanently (in particular Canadians and Italians), and where visitors can choose from a wide range of elegant vacation rentals, appetizing restaurants and lively bars.
Located between the towns of Potrero and Flamingo, Surfside is an eminently walkable village where the beach is never more than a few blocks away. Several tour offices offer a variety of adventures by land and sea, and real estate offices will be happy to show you your next home in paradise.
Attractions you won’t want to miss include the beachfront Sailing Center (restaurant, bar, pool and sailing packages); the popular Perlas restaurant (a high-end roadhouse/sports bar with big-screen TVs, live music, and great wings, burgers and pizzas); the Cervecería Independiente craft brewery between the two; and other local eateries including the Shack and the Beach House.
The lines are somewhat blurred between Potrero and Surfside — Potrero (“pasture”) was the original Costa Rican name of both, but Surfside became the popular name when a lot of foreigners began developing its southern outskirts. Most people would probably say that Potrero starts somewhere north of Perlas, and it’s Surfside to the south. In either place, you can’t go wrong.
Getting Around:
Our agents will be happy to assist you with renting a car, giving you the freedom to explore the area where you want, when you want. For short drives to nearby towns or beaches, golf carts are another popular mode of transportation. You can also rent a bicycle to ride around in town or beyond.
We can arrange transfers to and from the airport. Rental cars can also be delivered to your property at no additional cost, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenery as our private van drives you here from the airport.
Taxis are available but can be a bit hard to find. Many locals use buses to get around, though there are a limited number of routes and times of day when you can catch them. Private shuttles can be a great option for traveling to nearby destinations, and many tour companies offer transportation to and from the tour. Our information brochure will provide you with useful information on local transportation options and points of interest, as well as contact information for taxis and shuttles.
