We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Papita! Beautiful house, has literally everything you could need (so thankful for beach chairs!) and a walking distance to the beach (2 access points) and several restaurants. Can't wait to come back!

Charlotte and Daniel are very welcoming and accommodating and very genuine people. Beautiful home with a very spacious outside patio/kitchen area w a hammock and dining table. Great location, minutes from Brasilito beach and playa Conchal! Forketta down the road is also a very decent Italian restaurant. Would definitely stay again!! And again!!

Casa Papito is an elegant, lovely, spacious place to stay. I shared a room with my friend and the room was so spacious that we did not step on each other’s toes. Absolutely loved the balcony and outdoor kitchen! Gorgeous salt water pool, and very friendly helpful owners. We made the short walk to the beach daily and could easily get to the restaurants, with the pleasure of coming back to a quiet room for deep restful sleep.

Daniel and Charlotte were kind and welcoming. The property is beautiful and the attention to details were amazing. We only had one night in Potrero and we would have loved to stay longer. We walked to The Shack for a delicious dinner and a talented live band. 10 out of 10. Thank you.

We had a lovely 1 night stay. The staff, our hosts are just lovely. Great suggestions for dinner, breakfast, and places to visit. Just a quick note. When your GPS tells you to take Monkey Trail road. Take it. We did not, and drove a couple more hours than necessary. That was our fault for not trusting the technology

the property was very clean, comfortable and well ordered, and the owners/managers were warm and responsive. The one hassle was that it was not made at all clear in Expedia’s description that one had to pay cash..no credit cards, Venmo. Getting the payments resolved was time consuming.

Casa Papito was the best! The hosts were very friendly and a joy to hang out with and talk to. It was so refreshing to stay in a place with a true bed and breakfast vibe, instead of the cold dime a dozen rentals where you never even meet the hosts. The location was amazing, walkable to all the restaurants and potrero beach. And the property was incredible, we left inspired with many ideas for our own house design. We will definitely be back, and will be recommending it to all of our friends!

Combination of wonderful hosts & a unique rental

First and foremost, the hosts were very warm and friendly from the beginning. This positively affected our entire stay throughout. The property itself is very well taken care of and extremely beautifully and uniquely built. They have done a great job with the design of the two rental areas on the top floor as well as the entire grounds--including a gorgeous pool. I feel like I need to mention again how wonderfully friendly and positive our experience was with the hosts.
