About this property

Elegant & Tranquil Condo Seconds Away from the Beach

This beautiful, tranquil 2 bedroom, 2 bath Flat at Las Catalinas offers you everything you could ask for in a vacation retreat. Only seconds from the beach, the luxurious comfort of the 900 square foot condominium surrounds you with distinctive furnishings and warmth. The open concept living room space and the fully equipped kitchen provide an excellent meeting spot to enjoy company or relax and have a refreshment after a day of outside activity.

THE SPACE
Steps away, you'll find the private Beach Club, featuring three swimming pools, a restaurant, bar, and fitness center. This private facility within the town requires a modest daily fee of $17 per person for access. The experience, complete with ample opportunities for relaxation, is well worth the cost, especially for those enjoying a longer stay.

GUEST ACCESS
Situated at the heart of the community, you'll enjoy convenient access to the beach and three local Las Catalinas restaurants. For those passionate about sports, the Pura Vida Ride rental shop offers a variety of water sports, biking, and hiking equipment, while the newly opened Copper and Stone grocery store provides a touch of luxury.

Las Catalinas is a pedestrian-friendly oasis, prohibiting all motorized vehicles. Cars must be parked in a central lot, where luggage assistance is offered to your flat at check-in and check-out only. Please note that valet services for additional deliveries or cart rides are subject to charges. The town is delightful to explore on foot and accommodates ADA standards for accessibility.

For any concierge services or activity bookings, please coordinate through our property management company. We partner with an off-site company, hence direct concierge services from Las Catalinas are not available. Our chosen company is local and possesses extensive knowledge, ensuring a seamless booking experience.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
Transportation to Las Catalina from specific locations can be arranged at a small extra charge. The drive from Liberia Airport to Las Catalina takes about 50 minutes.

*** Starting April 1, Las Catalinas will be charging for daily parking and Valet services.

Self Parking - $15/day
Valet Service - $25/day

Parking lot is a 3 minute walk from the condo.

Las Catalina is a vibrant, rapidly growing boutique town. While we're excited about this development, it does mean that there may be some construction noise and activity during working hours. If this might cause you any inconvenience, please get in touch with us.

Additionally, we do not offer cable, satellite, or local TV services. However, we provide internet-based streaming via Apple TV/Firestick in the living room, suitable for those with Netflix and similar subscriptions. Also, we do not have a local telephone available.

The use of tobacco products, including smoking, chewing, and the use of vapor or e-cigarettes, is strictly forbidden throughout the property. This ban applies to all areas, both within the Apartment and its outdoor spaces, such as patios and gardens. Should a guest be discovered violating this policy through evidence of tobacco use, smoking, chewing, vaping, or e-cigarettes, or if damage to furniture attributable to such activities is identified by the host or cleaning crew, a deep cleaning fee of $500.00 (US Dollars) will be imposed on the guest. Smoking of any kind is not permitted.

We hope you find the wonders of Costa Rica so enriching that the absence of television becomes an afterthought! Thank you!

Beautiful vacation home

It was a great getaway with the family at Las Catalinas. The amenities and resort were amazing, with a private beach and beautiful homes. There are restaurants inside which made it convenient to grab a bite only a few steps away. Unfortunately, it's worth mentioning that there was construction happening all day every day from early in the morning to late in the evening in the entrance which made it very difficult to leave and explore the vicinity due to the traffic, dust and accessibility to the parking lot. This was completely outside of the control of the property manager though. Can't complain about the service and attention received. Would go back again once the roads are hopefully fixed and construction subsides.

Amazing stay at Las Catalinas!

The place is as described on the listing. The beach, which is not crowded and really amazing, is about a 1 minute walk away. It was nice having food and market options on property while having the option to take a short drive to Surfside, Potrero or Flamingo for different options. The only thing to watch out for is that if you are driving and planning to park in the lot, it is included in the cost of the rental. The attendant was trying to charge a daily fee, but once I reached out to the property management team, they were able to resolve the issue promptly.

Great vacation!

We are building in El Prado, above Beach Town, so needed a smaller place in Las Catalinas for our 7-day stay. This place was perfect! Just steps to the ocean and Beach Club and very comfortable accommodations. The bed was wonderful, too! I have a Tempurpedic at home, so it is rare that I sleep well when I travel, but I slept like a baby!

Amazing location and price. Could use better maintenance but I reported all glitches to vrbo so hopefully they will be corrected. Las Catalinas is extremely expensive so this flat was a great find.

Lovely spot.

We enjoyed the condo very much. It was comfortable and had everything we needed. When we had a small glitch at check in, Trev was immediately responsive and everything went very smoothly otherwise. We did need to lower the blinds when we we wanted privacy as the condo windows line up with other condos windows but that was fine. We would happily stay again.

Great stay in Las Catalinas

Beautiful community and great apartment. Well stocked. It had everything we needed and grocery store right across the way. We loved Las Catalinas. Ventured out for some shopping, fishing, surfing and sunset sailing. But make sure to take time to enjoy the pool and the beach. So nice they have a beach bag and towels for guests! We hope to be back soon.

Love Las Catalinas

Staying here reminds me of Positano in the Amalfi coast, Italy. It is perfect. The village, the beach. All the hiking trails. We went paddle boarding and snorkeling. We had some fine meals at the Beach Club, Ponciana and at Sentido Norte But about our Condo. We were able to prepare many great meals here as well. The kitchen had everything you will need. Just bring the groceries! The beds are a 8-10. But that is subjective. Everyone’s idea of comfy is different. The owner is fantastic and we had an absolute wonderful time. So much so we stayed an extra 10 days. Thank you Trevelynn and thank you Las Catalinas for the awesome and never to be forgotten memories!

It was great!

We really enjoyed Las Catalinas and this flat. The location is very convenient and the view from the patio up top is beautiful. We would have coffee up there every morning. The staff at the beach club, restaurant and shop were very friendly. The concierge service, Tropical Homes, was very helpful in planning activities. It was a great vacation!

Sutton T., College Station, Texas

The villa was lovely, but not convenient to activities

My wife and I have 2 teens and a 7 year old. The Villa was beautiful but Las Catalinas is not for us. The Beach Club is not great, and you are far away from snorkeling (Flamingo), good restaurants (Tamarindo), good beach club (Playa Langosta), good surfing (Playa Grande), Etc. For our family, we felt isolated. I got a car which helped, but wish we would have known. Next time we will stay in Playa Langosta and be able to walk Tamarindo for meals and fun. This will save us a ton on money for fishing, snorkeling, etc. If you want to isolate yourself, then this is perfect. But if you have teenagers and like a fun active vacation, I would recommend another spot. If you do stay here, make sure you connect with Roxane at Tropical Beach Properties (Property Manager). She booked us great tours, Finally, I enjoyed working out each day at Surfside CrossFit. About a 30 minute drive, but this box is great. Coaches Nate and Sam(female) are wonderful for the novice (like me) and the expert (not me).

Beautiful place in Guanacaste, one of the best spots on Costa Rica. Flamingo, Potrero, Las Catalinas

The condos are beautifully equipped, the beach town at Las Catalina’s is a Colony-like style, private and very secure. You can have a restful trip and adventures are at hand. The only lowlight for the trip was the staff at the Recepcion the day we came in; the attendant didn’t show good attitude; however the rest of the crew was nice and respectful. Definitely recommend it.
