Playa Potrero - impressive 9 BR beachfront villa: Casa Taj

Includes Private Chef for two meals per day and Daily Maid Service.

Casa Taj is a stunning Spanish Colonial beachfront mansion with exquisite architecture, offering over 8,200 sq. ft. of interior space. Rich double-crown moldings, granite finishes, and meticulous Spanish Colonial décor create a luxurious retreat with 9 bedrooms, 9½ bathrooms, and space for up to 26 guests.

The home offers ample space, including security safes in all bedrooms, an entertainment cinema, a professional kitchen, a lavish dining area, a sit-up bar, and expansive hallways. Casa Taj is designed for maximum comfort and a memorable stay by the sea.

Guests can sleep in 9 individually air-conditioned bedrooms. The home includes 9 full and 1 half bathrooms. Experience the unique charm of three "open-air" bathrooms located in bedrooms Mono, Peces, and Cactus. With ceilings reaching 3 meters and open space (no windows) above 1.50 metres, these spaces offer a delightful blend of outdoor ambiance and indoor comfort.

We held our yoga retreat here, and everyone had an amazing time. Plenty of beds, and the house was beautiful. The Chefs were amazing and the cleaning ladies were very nice. It was a GREAT surprise when a lady came by, right after we arrived, stating that they offer massages out on the balcony and gave us their business card. Needless to say some got a massage Mon Wed and Fri. They were great! Highly recommend this home!

The house, the property, and especially the staff, were all beyond expectations! The house is absolutely stunning. All of the rooms were exceptional, and we had plenty of room for our party of 18. The pool area had more than enough seating. The beach was beautiful and just beyond the pool. Again, the entire staff provided such a fantastic experience, and we cannot thank them enough!

Fabulous Trip
We had a wonderful stay. Food was amazing and cheaper than expected (maybe because we don’t drink alcohol?). Had a huge family there - our 7 children with 3 spouses & a girlfriend, 3 granddaughters, plus my sister-in-law with her three kids and my husband’s parents. (Babies, toddler, kids, teens, young adult, all the way to 80 year olds!) There was plenty of space that we didn’t feel like we were tripping over each other. My kids say this is their favorite vacation ever, and they are comparing to Hawaiian vacations, all inclusive resorts, and European cruises. Some highlights and tips: -We loved having a private pool - At the time of year we were there the beach at the house was not busy. It is a nice beach with small to medium waves. Dark sand, and BEAUTIFUL! -I would recommend getting the golf carts. -We booked excursions through the concierge. They may be more expensive this way, (I didn’t check) but it provided a seamless experience -We got massages on the deck! 10/10 experience! -The housekeeping staff is excellent!! We WAY over packed because they did our laundry every day so I didn’t need to bring as much clothing as I did -I have celiac and Gustavo and Moises were WONDERFUL about making things that I could eat along with my family who don’t have to eat gluten free. We celebrated birthdays and they brought candles for the cake. 5 star meals. -Moises is a fabulous bartender (mock tails for us of course!) -I would go back in a heartbeat!

Best vacation home ever!
This property is amazing! Incredible awesome views including the best sunsets ever! Rooms were perfect for large groups/families. The bathrooms were fully stocked with towels, shampoo and shower gel. Outdoor space was our favorite place to be. Steps away from the ocean. You can spend your time kayaking, paddleboarding or just lounging in the water. Waves are great for body surfing only; which makes the beach perfect for families. Then go back to the pool for a cocktail. Or you can walk to Hemingway's for a drink and some snacks. I don't think we spent much time inside except to sleep. And sleeping to the sound of the waves was so peaceful. But the absolute best part of this property is the amazing STAFF! Gustavo, the cook, made memorable meals and was so accommodating. We had a gluten free person, a peanut allergy person and someone who hated raw onions. Gustavo and Moises went out of their way to make special meals if need be. They even made a separate bowl of Pico de Gallo without onions! Beatrice was amazing. She made a delicious lunch for us from leftovers the night before. And she went out of her way to care for one of our guests who didn't feel well. The concierge helped booked excursions before the trip and during the trip. Even the excursion staff were great! This was one of the most relaxing trips we've ever taken and we believe it was because of the wonderful staff and the location of the property. Book this place! You won't regret it.

Better than a resort!
We had such a fantastic time at this lovely house in Potrero that my kids still lovingly refer to as “our mansion” - we were treated like royalty for a few days by our masterful chef and lovely cleaning staff, as well as Moises, our bartender. It was very hot when we stayed, and we had a bit of trouble with the AC units, but help came promptly and everything was repaired. I give this property my highest recommendation!

Amazing - Book it now! Large home with 3 levels, fit our family of 15 ranging in age from 87 to 14 Months with room to spare. Lots of places to spread out, have your own quiet space, or gather for meals, fun in the bar, pool, balcony and overlooking the ocean. The staff was kind, courteous and the chef made amazing meals we all enjoyed. Great time was had by all, memories that will last a lifetime.

Magical Spring Break
What an unbelievable vacation. Rented Casa Taj with 3 other families for our daughter’s senior spring break. In all we had 18 of us. The pictures do not do the place justice. The property is even more beautiful and spacious the pictures suggest. The pool is wonderful, and the ocean is steps away. However, the house is really not the best part of the place. The staff is what really makes the vacation. Chef Gustavo and his sidekick Moises make 2 unbelievable meals a day. Every morning after breakfast we would plan dinner and breakfast for the next morning. We had a combination of Costa Rican favorites and more typical American fare. All were fabulous. Need cocktail recommendations? Moises can help and make them if you wish. But that’s not all, two maids clean and do laundry daily. Not in the way at all, but if you do see them, they always have a smile. In addition, the grounds and pool deck are cleaned daily. Not that it seems like an unsafe area, but there is even a nighttime security guard. He even pointed out the howler monkey hanging out across the street one night. Book now. You won’t be disappointed.

Amazing Villa for a large group
I have been organizing trips for college fraternity brothers for 40 years. We typically have between 7 and 10 attendees each year so we require bedrooms to accommodate each person. Casa Taj was perfect!. 9 Bedrooms and 9 baths, pool with baja ledge, on the beach with an unobstructed view. Perfect for a git away in the rain Forrest with many activates or chill by the pool/beach. The chef, Gustavo and staff were amazing. They have a great menu but will improvise if you bring back fresh fish. We did have AC issues but the property manager was responsive and resolved the issues. I would highly recommend staying at Casa Taj! you will not be dissapointed.

It was our family of 16 vacation. We have always done Cabo or Hawaii for the week of Thanksgiving and decided we would like to visit Costa Rica. No one was disappointed. Ages from 75-3 and there was something for everyone. The Chef and special staff were excellent and made us feel right at home. Could not have asked for a better vacation .

Best Vacation EVER!
When we pulled up to the property I was in utter disbelief! I couldn't have imagined how truly incredible this property was from the pictures. Walking up the grand front entrance stairs made me feel as though I just won the lottery. We arrived shortly before dinner, and the smells coming from the kitchen, as our chef cooked our first meal, sent my mouth watering. Upon arrival, we met our maid, our chef, and his sous chef. There was absolutely nothing that they hadn't thought of to make our stay perfect. There was a daily landscaper who made us an amazing bonfire one evening, cut down coconuts for our drinking pleasure, and made sure everything was ready each day for us to enjoy the pool and beach. All our of meals were delicious and made as requested. One of our travelers was gluten-free, and the chef always went out of his way to make sure his meal was similar to ours, but gluten-free. The chef gave us the receipts, daily, for our food costs, and while higher than what we might pay in the US, it was still very reasonable, and much less expensive than eating out daily. We never seemed to even lift a finger during our week-long stay. The maid did everything daily, including washing and folding all of our laundry (not an easy task since there were 15 of us). If you are looking for a vacation of a lifetime for a large group, this is the place!

Celebration of a Lifetime
It's hard to put into words. I have had best friends that I've stayed in touch with since we first met in Kindergarten - and we all just celebrated our 50th birthday together here at Casa Taj. Casa Taj served up an experience that far exceeded any of our expectations - all 18 of us. The property is beautiful and offers the perfect home base. The amenities, the pool, the beach, close to a few bars and within an hour or so of other cities to visit, waterfalls, golf courses, etc. The property is stunning but is only really 1/3 of the benefits of booking here. The next 1/3 is the Concierge service. Michelle took care of so much for us while we were planning and while were there. She booked us a tee time at Conchal Reserva. What a great course to play. Transportation transfers if needed, Excursion recommendations, setting up massages at the home (which we did 3 days), helping with WiFi needs (can be spotty), helping with air conditioner issues. Neither the WiFi nor the a/c issues took anything from the trip at all. This is just a note that they fix things that may go wrong very quickly. I would lean on the Concierge service heavily before and while you are there. The incredible Final 1/3 of Casa Taj is the staff. Gustavo, the chef, serves up culinary tastes that will WOW you - WOW YOU! Moises, his assistant and bartender made us laugh all the time. The maid and security service was above expectations. A Celebration of a Lifetime! Thank you to Everyone!

Excellent accommodations
Highlights of this property is definitely the view and staff. Our large family visited with all ages. The rooms are spacious with locations matching the listing exactly. The staff made us feel spoiled with fresh coconut water, bon fires, daily breakfast and dinner, and daily maid service. The water is calmer here than other nearby beaches which worked well for the littles. Property management arranged jet skis, massages, and a golf all of which I highly recommend. Food for chef was reasonably priced and paid daily. Food was excellent! He even cooked the fish we caught. We will return to Casa Taj without hesitation!

Amazing Home
We had the absolute best time. The house is so much more amazing in person - which is really saying something. The location right on the beach is beautiful and it's just a two minute golf cart ride into town. We loved how chill and peaceful the area was. From babies to Grandparents this house was perfect for everyone, I highly recommend it. We also were BEYOND thrilled with Chef Gustavo who was just downright amazing. The staff went above and beyond to support us and make the stay perfect. When one of the babies got sick, the Chef even offered to drive to the urgent care with us so we could follow him and not get lost, this was seriously amazing since sick babies make for stressed out parents and this relieved a lot of worry. We LOVED our stay and will seriously consider returning.

Everything about our stay was beyond our expectations. The chef, Gustavo, made the most delicious meals. The bartender kept our drinks flowing. The housekeepers worked every day in an already clean house, and they did our laundry, which was a pleasant surprise. The pool man gave us fresh coconuts from the trees. The security guard was there but we were never unsafe. The location is directly on a quiet beach. The house is next to the public access, but you would not ever know. The landscaping secludes the house from any passerby. You are only a short walk down the beach to a few fun bars/resteraunts. Book a golf cart for easy travel to the local Merkado for any necessities. The concierge Magui made this trip so enjoyable from start to finish ensuring that we were prepared for our vacation. She scheduled excursions and transportation for anything we needed. She checked on us throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. If you are second-guessing booking this house, don't. It is everything the description says, and so much more.

Incredible Birthday Celebration
The property was stunning and perfectly located on the beach. The chef was better than any restaurant we tried in Costa Rica (including Tamarindo). Gustavo is the man! I've never seen cleaner floors. There were some ants in the upstairs bathrooms but that's to be expected as they were indoor/outdoor. We had some issues with the a/c when we first arrived that they sent maintenance the same day to address it. The guests washer/dryers weren't working so the cleaning staff washed and folded our laundry each day (a win in my book). We had an issue with a large bag of edibles that went missing on day one. The property's security guard made us feel safe at night b/c there is some foot traffic to the beach. Unbeatable sunsets each night! Never felt unsafe, even after dark. Overall, I highly recommend this house. The staff is incredible (minus the missing item). The Mgmt company was great as well. I did not notify them of the above b/c we had no proof it was taken.
