Luxury Home with Gorgeous Ocean Views !

Bella Vista del Mar is located on the 'Gold Coast' of Costa Rica which is considered to be the prime area in Costa Rica to vacation. Our town home is in the town of Potrero in an upscale, gated community called Villas Catalina, a small complex of 11 homes. Villas Catalina is on Camino Las Catalina, across the street from two gorgeous beaches, Playa Penca and Playa Prieta, both voted in the top five most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica. Our home is located on a two lane country road. Now that it is a paved road, it can, at times, have some traffic. The holiday season and the peak winter months are the busiest season.

Our elegant town home blends spacious living, comfort and luxury with magnificent views of Flamingo and Potrero Bay, Playa Penca, Playa Prieta, and incredible Pacific sunsets. Sitting on our wrap-around terrace watching a beautiful sunset with the waves crashing in the background makes time stand still. The shared infinity pool also has a breathtaking panoramic view of the coastline.

Our two story home has been tastefully decorated to reflect the Costa Rican culture. All of our furniture has been handmade by Costa Rican craftsman. It has granite and marble counter tops throughout and has all the amenities to make your stay very comfortable. Our gourmet kitchen has just about everything you would need to cook a wonderful meal.

Our home has three bedrooms and three baths. The master has a king bed with private bath, the second bedroom has a queen bed with private bath and the third bedroom sleeps four with one queen bed and a set of custom-made bunk beds to accommodate adults. There is also a full bath for this bedroom. Each bedroom has a view of Flamingo Bay.

Bella Vista del Mar is VERY close to the beach... A quick walk to two beautiful secluded beaches. Our home sits on a hill overlooking Flamingo Bay. Just down from that hill is the ocean. Literally it is a 3-5 minute leisurely walk to two beautiful beaches. Playa Penca is a beautiful white sand beach in Flamingo Bay which is quite shallow for a long way out great for children, sunbathing, skim boarding and swimming. Playa Prieta is the same distance and has lots of great shade and big rolling waves for body surfing. Both beaches have been voted in the top five most gorgeous beaches in Costa Rica.

Our complex does sit up on a hill to allow for the beautiful ocean views. There are stairs to climb from the parking area to get to our front door. The shared infinity pool is located on the upper level of our small complex to capture the amazing views and does require a walk uphill.

Our home is thoroughly cleaned using proper disinfectants prior to your stay to ensure that our home is safe.

Wonderful stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Catalina. The kitchen was well-equipped, the pool offered stunning views, and the beach was conveniently close - ideal for family outings. Do note, there's some noise from local dogs and traffic, but it didn't overshadow our overall experience. Highly recommended for a relaxing beach holiday.

Awesome stay in Potrero
We had a wonderful time with the family at the Villa. Walking distance to beaches, hiking trails and market. The sunsets from the pool were incredible. The only downside is the noise from traffic and neighbour dogs (too) early in the morning.

Lovely home close to amazing beaches
We stayed for a month and felt right at home in this well appointed town home. The rooms were large, beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had just about everything you could need. We loved walking to the beaches and spent a lot of time at the pool enjoying the amazing views. The town of Potrero is lovely and within walking distance. We went several times a week to the bakery (El Patio Panaderia) and fruit stand (across from the square). Both were amazing! The only draw back is the busy road in front of the unit with lots of construction vehicles going by. We knew about this when we booked so it wasn't a surprise.

huge home - fantastic stay
Large, modern well-kept townhome. Huge, kitchen with all the pots/pans/dishware that you might need for a self-catering stay. The complex pool is spectacular. A short drive to several nice restaurants. The complex is quiet and safe with friendly 24-hour security. We highly recommend this listing.

Perfect location
We had a wonderful time in Costa Rica, the house was perfect for our family. We loved how roomy the house was, never feeling crowded and the deck was our favorite hangout spot. We all enjoyed the quick walks to the beach and the pool. We will definitely want to come again. Thank you Jill and Tony for being so kind and helpful. The security guards (Pedro) were so so sweet too .

Potrero is a great place to stay
The property was as advertised. It does need a bit of tlc to freshen the place up. The only irritation was the new construction development in the area. Our balcony was overlooking the road it was quite noisy in the mornings and at night. Other than that it was a great place to spend our time.

Potrero stay Feb 2023
Our stay in Jill’s rental was wonderful. The property is exactly as described. Her beautiful home was completely equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. Views from the infinity pool were beyond spectacular. Had a couple of minor incidents during our stay but Tony from Krain management took care of things in less than 24hrs. Beaches are close by but so is the road and the traffic is very loud.

Wonderful week!
Enjoyed the clean and spacious home for 10 days with a family of four adults. Enjoyed exploring the many beaches and local restaurants. Did some zip lining and a boat tour of the national park and enjoyed the gorgeous sunsets from the balcony. There are A-LOT of steps..fortunately our son was there to help we seniors with the luggage. We would have had trouble on our own.
