Casa Blanca

Overview

Whether in either of its two master suites, its lovely terraces, or the living-room, this Guanacaste vacation home is embraced in such a way by the Pacific Ocean you can almost taste it.

The main living area is the heart of this Costa Rican vacation rental, all in white and full of windows that open to the sea, letting the ocean breeze permeate its fully-equipped kitchen, the dining space, and every single corner of the house. If you’d rather be outside, treat your friends and family to seafood on the grill in one of its two terraces, right by a plunge pool.

Its two wondrous master suites, each with an ensuite bathroom, offer unequaled views of the sea, but every single room in this lovely Costa Rican beach house is a treat, with the two bedrooms on floor level also offering ensuite bathrooms, ocean views and lavish beds. One of them also has its own outside entrance and kitchenette.

A unique blend of classic and modern beach elements, in an exceptional location with gorgeous views and literally less than twenty steps from Las Catalinas Beach Club, this fantastic rental home in Costa Rica accommodates up to ten guests. Children are welcome.

Activities

Boogie Boarding

Playa Danta is one of the best body surfing and boogie boarding beaches you will ever find. Go at medium to low tides when the beach is very flat. The swells are typically moderate, safe, spaced 15 seconds apart, and perfectly formed. These waves are unlike anything many of us have seen in other parts of the world. Costa Rica has many famous surfing beaches but Las Catalinas is partially sheltered from the prevailing southern swell, and that is what makes Playa Danta “just right” for boogie boarding.

Snorkeling

Some of the best snorkeling in Costa Rica is right at Las Catalinas. The best spots are wherever you see rocks: the far side of Playa Dantita, the reef in between Danta and Dantita, along the shore of Punta Penca, or out at the Islotes Pitahayas islands just offshore. You’ll find lots of reef fish, coral, interesting underwater topography, big spotted eagle rays, sea turtles, and who knows what else.

Kayaking and Paddle-Boarding

Las Catalinas is an ideal location for sea kayaking and stand up paddle-boarding. The protected bay of Playa Danta is perfect for beginners and often offers glassy smooth conditions. The Islotes Pitahayas just one kilometer offshore are a great destination with the swell surging dramatically on the rocks. The islands are a famous nesting site of pelicans and frigate birds. The coastline in both directions is dramatic and interesting with a variety of beautiful beaches, cliffs and great snorkeling and swimming all within paddling range.

Yoga and Fitness

With an average temperature of 74 degrees year round, Las Catalinas is the perfect place to get in a fitness groove. Weather it's weekly interval training classes, beach front yoga under an almendro tree, or grabbing some weights, this is a mecca for athletes and yogis alike.

Shopping and Dining

In the shops of Las Catalinas, you’ll find everything you need to elevate your stay in town. Get outfitted to enjoy town and outdoors, set a course to learn about ocean protection, bring home an unexpected Costa Rican gift, give some local life and flair to your home, or relax and take care of your body. It’s all here, and it’s all within a few minutes’ walk.

Guanacaste is quickly becoming a major player in Costa Rica’s culinary scene, and Las Catalinas offers some of the best options around available just a few steps from your front door.
