About this property

This two-story villa lives like a single family home, with ample privacy. The main living area of this home features a fully stocked kitchen with a 4-person breakfast bar that opens beautifully into the living and dining areas, all of which feature tremendous ocean views. There are large sliding glass doors that open to the main balcony, which comes complete with a grill and outdoor dining for four.

Two of the bedrooms have the same striking ocean views and balconies. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, a large walk-in closet, and en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom contains a queen-size bed and has its own bathroom just steps from the door. The third bedroom features a day bed and office space and has its own en-suite bathroom with tub.

This home also hasa washer/dryer in unit.

The beach access to Playa Prieta and Playa Penca is directly across the street from Villas Catalina. It is approximately an 8-minute walk to Playa Prieta from this home.

POOL--Only eleven other villas share the incredible ocean-view infinity pool, which is likely the best pool in Guanacaste to enjoy the sunsets! The pool area also has an outdoor sink, prep area, grill, dining tables, lounge chairs, his-and-her bathrooms, and showers for our guests to enjoy.

The Villas Catalina community offers gated 24-hour security with onsite guards, infinity pool, poolside BBQ grill, and magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean and nearby beaches. Restaurants, grocery stores, medical, dental and pharmacy services are located nearby. Area activities include surfing, fishing, golf, boating, rafting, scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, sailing, zip-line canopy tours, swimming and more.

Please note that, while this is an extremely popular vacation rental, there are steps inside this unit and also steps to the pool, making it not ideal for those with extremely limited mobility

Very nice property

6 of us stayed here for 2 nights, we wished we spent another day in the Playa Flamingo area. This condo was a bit out of the more crowded touristy district which worked well for us, it was a short drive or Uber to bars, sodas and restaurants. The view was very nice, but not as spectacular as it is from condos higher up in the development, next time I might try and get a condo at the upper level. However, the pool was amazing and that's where we spent our time. I've been to the coast in many places and the view (especially the sunset view) from the infinity pool was as pretty as I have seen anywhere. Overall we were very pleased with the cleanliness and layout and would definitely stay here again.

Spectacular View. Great Service

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was our good fortune to end up at Casa Margarita as it was by accident. Another property that we had booked got sold and removed from the rental pool. Krain facilitated an upgrade to this beautiful property. The view is amazing. The breezes made sun bathing pleasant at any time of day. The caretakers; who lived on the property, were always available but out of sight unless needed. They even met us at our 1am arrival! The next morning our consierge Tony arrived with some fresh empanadas and some requested groceries. Our stay at Casa Margarita was a wonderful experience; setting a high bar for subsequent trips.
