Ericka Villalobos, originally from the enchanting tourist hub of Arenal, Costa Rica, set out on a transformative journey at the age of 18 to pursue her aspirations in the United States. Immersing herself in the realms of studying and working, Ericka discovered her fervor for real estate during her tenure in property management in the Hamptons. Subsequently, she ventured to Arizona, where she obtained her real estate license from the prestigious Arizona School of Real Estate and Business before returning to the coastal region of Costa Rica.
In Costa Rica, Ericka skillfully merged her real estate expertise with her background in international relations, excelling in property management. She holds esteemed Costa Rican real estate certifications and is fluent in Spanish, English, and Italian. Together with her husband, an Italian chef, she co-owns the iconic Castillo De Lilo Restaurant in Playa Potrero, celebrated for its exceptional dining experience and breathtaking views.
Specializing in aiding both buyers and sellers, particularly those in search of a home in Costa Rica, Ericka is dedicated to helping individuals realize their real estate dreams. Beyond her role as an agent, she also serves as a trusted guide in your property quest. Based in Playa Potrero, Guanacaste, Ericka’s credentials encompass CRGAR and NAR memberships, as well as an Arizona real estate license.

Amanda CaseyWow!! What a great experience we have had with Ericka Villalobos, our realtor. Her honesty, integrity and willingness to help us not only with the purchase but every step of the way.

munah baakliniWe could not have asked for a smoother stress free experience in the purchase of our property in Potrero.

She is an Outstanding Realtor and listens to what is important to you then matches you with the Perfect Property! We love our new home and are so Thankful for Ericka! Charles and Julie Dearhamer
Julie K DearhamerEricka Villalobos, Real Estate Agent with Blue Water Properties has been an amazing professional to work with over the past number of years. We have had the pleasure of having Ericka represent us in purchasing 2 properties in the Potrero area and also selling one. She is a one of a kind human being, greatly respected in the community and very knowledgeable about the local market, but also plugged into what is happening across Costa Rica. Ericka speaks three languages (English, Spanish and Italian), and has a gift for connecting with people. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone considering purchasing or selling a home in Guanacaste.
richard masonEricka Villalobos is more than a realtor: she is an advisor and trusted advocate for her clients. We hired her to purchase our dream home in Arenal and she set up a smooth house hunting day for when we flew in from the US. Her trusted network of lawyers and contacts made this an easy real estate transaction (easier than any we’ve had in the US!) but most of all, Ericka is the reason we got our beautiful home and we are set up for a successful move. Working with her is a dream: her kindness, honesty, and dedicated work ethic is like having your best friend advocating for you. My husband and I recommend her and Blue Water Properties for anyone looking to buy in magical Costa Rica. Thank you, Ericka!
