Beachfront holiday rental in Las Catalinas

Casita by Lina was a little piece of heaven. It felt like our own little seaside abode. Very peaceful surroundings only steps from the beach. Tasteful decor inside & out. We will plan to stay again in the future.

We had a great stay at Dirk’s place. The area is very relaxing. Four restaurants nearby and a small mini mart. The house is right next to the entrance to the beach. The beach is spectacular. A few miles long, great surfing, wonderful sunsets, and not crowded compared to the beach at Tarmarindo. We stayed for two weeks. The first week we rented a car to do grocery shopping, etc. The second week we just relaxed using nearby restaurants and the beach. We enjoyed the pool when not at the beach. If you want to go to Tarmarindo it is about a 15 minute walk on the beach to the inlet that separates the two areas, you can then use the locals with their boats to cross. Cost $2 per person. Boats start at 8 and stop at 5. Dirk is a great host. He helped us with renting the car, and was generous with his recommendations. Look forward to returning.

We were able to spend 4 wonderful nights at this place! You'll feel like you're in paradise! The communication went very well, Béatrice and her husband were able to help us find a good taxi and notify us for the sighting of turtles! I highly recommend it and would not hesitate to come back!

We never met Juan Carlos but his property caretaker, Ana, and her family were extremely kind and helpful. The location is fantastic, steps from the most beautiful beach ever. Beds were comfy and the kitchen was well supplied. It was a little odd to have no living room area, but we didn't really need it with the beach right there.

everything wonderful, thank you very much. the accommodation is quiet and perfectly located, as neither morning sun nor evening sun heats up the apartment. only the water quality from the shared pool is somewhat questionable. Our swimsuits have turned green. However, this has nothing to do directly with Ruslan's accommodation, as the pool is probably managed by all apartment owners.

Caroline and Étienne are lovely hosts and we enjoyed our stay very much! Check in was easy and communication prompt and friendly. The little house was exceptionally clean and built with high quality material. AC was welcome and bed large and comfy. The outdoor kitchen has everything you need and while we prepared lunch dnd dinner there we never once had any issues with ants or other insects. The little cold private pool was a welcome lifesaver for cold dips in the hot afternoons. Otherwise the beautiful beach is 15 min walk away. We heard and saw howler monkeys every day from our patio! The only thing to note is that the patio faces other properties gardens so while you are protected from view you can hear neighbors talk or do garden work. We would happily stay again!

Awesome place to stay! Beautiful view! A short walk to the beach and some local shops - it is a steep hill, but there are stairs. Staff and other guests were extremely helpful and friendly. There was more than enough room for our family of four. When we needed assistance with an air conditioner, Floribeth was quick to respond, and had a repair person there in no time - problem fixed immediately. We were not planning on returning to Costa Rica, but after our stay, we fell in love with the area and people, and can't wait to return. Floribeth gave us precise directions, found it right away. You will not want to leave here. Thank you Floribeth!!

Great location great place great host right near a beautiful beach, which was absolutely stunning. Happy all round.

Our group of 10 stayed and had a great time. We ate out for 90% of our stay because we needed all our fridge space to keep drinks cold. It was a very hot therefor fridge has a hard time keeping up. We are a group that enjoys cold beer and ice. we made ice constantly and probably bought more than $300US in ice. we brought yeti backpack coolers thankfully. The grocery stores are a distance from the house. We found it was basically the same price as going out. all the Local restaurants were delicious and great selection. The property is excellent for 10 people. Costa Rican Authentic We honestly could not believe how hot the temperatures are in Costa Rica. We spent most of our time swimming Ocean and pool. Great shade around pool area. Loved open kitchen/ living area.

We stayed here for a group birthday party of 12 adults and it fit our needs perfectly for our mix of couples and singles.
The area of Potrero was exactly what we wanted, not too busy, but with some good restaurants and a close by market for essentials. The house itself is at the end of a quiet street and very peaceful. The elevated pool is a really unique feature and we made good use of it to watch sunsets and generally relax. Marvin the caretaker kept the house very clean, and Alexa our host helped us arrange several excursions, as well as a private chef who cooked the birthday dinner, highly recommend! We did the following excursions: Rio Celeste tour, which included a trip to see sloths in a wildlife preserve; ziplines; a private yoga session on the patio overlooking the ocean; and a tour of a coffee roaster. All were excellent, with great tour guides / hosts, and the whole group loved them. Thank you so much for a great experience

We've stayed at many Airbnbs, and this was by far our favorite. Lovely house, comfortable beds, a great bathroom for each of the bedrooms, fantastic pool with warm water in a great neighbourhood, only steps from a beautiful, quiet beach. We watched the sunsets from our balcony or took the conveniently supplied camp stools to watch from the beach. Some nice restaurants and a small grocery store we could walk to. A short drive from horseback riding, Playa Conchal, the Westin where we got day passes and an hour's drive from Tamarindo where we went shopping. Just as important, our hosts were very responsive to our needs in advance of our trip, and while we were there. Friendly, lovely people. We would definitely come again.

Mary was prompt and helpful and gave great restaurant suggestions!! The home was gorgeous and exactly as pictured. We would definitely recommend this gorgeous home!! Best vacation ever. Thank you so much!!

Absolutely loved this place for our family of 6. The views are “million dollar” spectacular and the sunsets were unreal (we couldn’t stop taking sunset pictures every night from the deck). The space felt like home, we loved the kitchen and we used the pools a lot during our 9 days here. The 3 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms with decks all around gave us tons of space for our family to enjoy without feeling crowded. The kitchen is a beauty and we loved it all, especially the ocean view from the master shower! Wow! The only thing I’d suggest is grabbing groceries and especially meat and fruit before you get to the villa. There is shopping near by that you can walk to and amazing restaurants all around, but we also just wanted fruit and meat to make meals at home that we didn’t find in the closer grocery stores. We took Oxygen Transportation (in attached hotel) for a trip to Walmart, La Leona Waterfall and a day at Cocoa Beach. Our time at the villa was super peaceful & we highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Pipa! The home was exactly as advertised. Iris was so easy to work with; helped with dinner reservations. Excellent guide/resource book emailed prior to arrival. Manfred the local house manager was so nice to work with, orient us to the home, and make us feel welcome immediately. We enjoyed Manfred's homemade pastries; so delicious! The home is very clean and comfortable. We found the beds and pillows very comfortable. So private and the private beach access was just magical! Was so nice to go through the gate, walk a beautiful little forest path, to find the amazing beach and Pacific ocean!!! Any questions; answered immediately. Just a total chill place for ultimate relaxation while being able to walk the neighborhood and enjoy the lovely small restaurants and market. We didn't rent a car and didn't feel the need for one. Our driver brought us to the supermarket before our arrival so we had everything we needed; the home, pool, beach!! Thank you!!!

Our stay at Jarrod’s place was incredible! Best vacation house you could ask for. Perfect location right on the beach but still super private. Having a swimming pool right on the ocean is about as good as it gets, we usually spend most of our vacation time at the beach but this house was so great we wound up spending more time by the pool. Also the house is stocked very well, everything an Airbnb/rental house should have this house has. Jarrod was very accommodating and helped us with transportation and Covid testing at the house. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting the Playa Negra area! We will definitely be coming back!

Loved the house and location. Extremely well-equipped kitchen and some refreshments waiting for us in the fridge. RCV arranged a guided tour for us at Rincon de la Vieja National Park for one day (including lunch, zip-lining, and the hot springs & mud baths) that was a lot of fun. Had dinner the first night at Father Rooster's on Ocotal Beach just down the hill from the house. We did a little cooking and used the bbq grill for a couple meals. There were a couple small problems: water was not turned on for one of the showers downstairs, the gas was not turned on for the stove (just had to open the valve on the propane tank on the other side of the wall from the stove), the A/C would trip off in the second bedroom upstairs, and the dishwasher wouldn't operate. RCV sent people promptly to address the issues, but unfortunately the dishwasher needed a new control board and couldn't be fixed during our stay. We would definitely stay in this house again.

A very spacious house, in an excellent location. The beach is a beautiful and the sunsets are magical. Ideal to go with family and children. Close to everything, but at the same time super private. Would come back without hesitation

Have to say, we’ve stayed in a lot of different places but this one “takes the cake!” We thoroughly enjoyed staying at The Beach House. Anything you would need was available-kitchen well appointed, plenty of towels (in bathrooms & for beach), plenty of chairs on covered porch for when all 5 of us wanted to sit together as a group. We loved having the pool, the tiki hut, & easy access to the beach! Everything was very clean when we arrived & kept clean all week we were there. Ileana, the housekeeper, & Alexander, the groundskeeper, were very sweet & helpful. Of course we loved Missy always greeting us with a wagging tail! The setting of the property was awesome & the view out to the bay breathtaking! We would definitely look into staying at this property again if coming back to Costa Rica!

WOW. Our family group of 6 (ages from 5-65) had the most wonderful week together, no other vacation will ever live up. Maria's place is stunning, perfectly situated, very safe and peaceful. The beach is steps away and you can hear waves breaking all day, and the pool was the perfect chill spot for the afternoon at high tide. We were lucky enough to have Maria and her daughter, Evany, cook a few meals for us (Pura Vida Cooking) and it was such a treat. We rented a car and for our group it was nice to get around town and visit surrounding beaches (Hermosa, Ocotal, Panama, Iguanita). BOOK THIS HOUSE!!! you will not regret it

To say we had a fabulous stay would be an understatement. The location was perfect (not too busy, but not too far from restaurants/shopping etc) and Shawna was super helpful in all aspects of our stay including great local restaurant and excursion recommendations (local horseback riding ranch was phenomenal as were our surf instructors!). Tatiana was amazing and her cooking was delicious (highly recommend utilizing her cooking-I am still dreaming about her Arepas). We always felt safe and comfortable at the house and it was perfect for our group's two young families (kids ages 9, 8, 5, 4 and 3). The house also had easy to carry beach chairs, sand toys, boogie boards and games. The living area/kitchen was a great hangout space and the outside spaces were also wonderful. So sad to have to leave but will hopefully be back in the future! Thanks for a great stay!

Our group had the most wonderful vacation at the Golden Sunset Villa. First off, the photos do not do justice the view is even more amazing and impossible to describe. It felt like being on a movie set! The villa was very spacious and open and well laid out for a group. It was also well stocked with all the dishes and cooking gear and even beach towels that you will need. Communication with the hosts was excellent. The pool on our deck was the perfect touch but you are also just steps away from the big resort pool with swim up bar. Location is great we rented a car and drove to the Castillo de Lilo for their incredible dining experience as well as a day at Vandara Springs thermal resort. The trams run often down to the beach, and we had some great boogie boarding at our beach and ate at all the restaurants in walking distance. I could go on and on, but I will just say if you are considering renting this villa...do it.

The house & location are amazing, you literally feel like you have your own beach in the middle of paradise, but also all of the conveniences you need like a variety restaurants, grocery store, convenience stores and even a hardware store are only less than a 5 minute drive away. The baby turtle sanctuary is only a 5 minute drive away and we got to see one of my bucket lists, we got to release baby turtles and watch them waddle their way to the ocean! The whole house had a water filter and reverse osmosis water so we were able to have safe and wonderful drinking water the entire trip and saved loads of money just refilling our water w/ regular cheap water bottles that we bought day one some of us brought our Yeti/Stanley cups. The pool is a perfect dip pool for when you get hot, and at low tide, which is everyday. The smooth sandy beach is a dream! We looked at tons of other beachfront properties but this was the only one that actually had a sandy swimmable beach! House is perfect!

We had a wonderful stay! The layout was perfect for us with a fantastic view of the ocean. The kitchen was well appointed as we had inhouse chef for three of our nights. We would stay here again. The condo had all the qualities we were looking for.

Great spot in Tamarindo! My husband and I and 2 kids (12 and 14) spent 5 nights. The house was as described. It was about a 10 min walk to Lagosta Beach Club, where we spent a couple afternoons at the pool, beach and dining. We had rented a car but ended up also renting a golf cart for the last two days. It was so much easier to get around with the golf cart and the kids loved it! The food in TAMARINDO was great! We ate at Red Door, Pangas and some other smaller places and every meal was fresh and delicious. We chartered a boat for a day of deep sea fishing. We caught 2 sail fish and a Marlin. It was a great time. Lots to do and we don’t regret a minute of our stay!
