4 Bedroom Ocean View Home at Las Catalinas Beach Town

Casa Pinita is truly amazing. What a great balance between comfort, peace, and fun in the sun. Great for both adults and families. The neighborhood is so unique. You can meander along the paths around beautiful homes and landscapes; these paths lead you to the beach, which is simply breathtaking and as peaceful as can be. Great for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking... You can also hike or mountain bike along miles and miles of tracks that take you up to beautiful lookouts. You can rent all kinds of equipment at the local outfitter located right by the beach. There's also a great restaurant there. It's all conveniently located. And the staff is so friendly and helpful.

If you want to experience some of the local flare, Casa Pinita is only 15 minutes from town, where you can find other beaches and all kinds of restaurants and activities. What a wonderful place! Can't wait to visit again... And again... And again...

I stayed in Casa Pinita with a handful of friends as part of my "bar trip" after sitting for the bar exam post-law school. The house and whole experience were a great fit for our group. I'd highly recommend it!

The house was the perfect size for us to spread out and relax but we spent tons of time cooking together and hanging out on the porch. Every bedroom has a fun feature to it, whether its the patio or the character of the bunk beds (we had adults in the bunks, and they probably loved their room most of all). We adored our house mom, looked forward to seeing her and enjoyed the breakfast every morning (eggs, beans and rice, fried plantains, fresh juice, coffee).

The concierge staff at Las Catalinas added a lot to our trip. They made our car rental super-easy (including replacing a flat tire), helped us find our way around (e.g., the grocery store), and recommended activities and helped us book things (a zipline tour, a beach for beginner surfing, a restaurant in Playa Tamarindo). A highlight was when one of the concierges got us fresh fish caught by his father for cooking dinner one night. They truly helped make our trip memorable.

We're hoping to plan at least one reunion trip to the house!

I stayed at Casa Pinita with my huband and 2 children as well as my with my sister and her 2 children. What a treat!! My children just LOVED having their own suite that was child friendly - but elegant and posh at the same time. The kitchen was outfitted to make cooking a dream and whether we were playing games in the living area or lounging on the deck -- we were happy and relaxed. AND, we haven't event talkked about the outdoors yet! The cove and beach area was just perfect. Paddleboating, playing in the water, building forts...and adults could recline and order micheladas from the restaurant while keeping an eye on the kids. That is my idea of a vacation!! They also hosted movie nights for the children outside and again, adults could join in or relax with a glass of wine and listen to the waves. Excursions were easy to arrange and we loved those as well - but were so happy to enjoy the elegance and convenience of this beautiful home.

La Pinita offers a spectaular array of amenities. The beach is easily accessible opening to your own piece of paradise. Sunsets are prisms of color; sunrises warm and yawning! The sand softly touches the toes ... the ocean inviting a swim. La Pinita nestles itself quitely within that ecospace ... three stories of Costrican sand castle. My wife and I love this place!!

This was the perfect vacation home. I made a video of the best memories of my trip... feel free to watch http://youtu.be/-t43wr22rg0 .We visited Casa Pinita with a group of friends this summer. With its private beach the house is luxurious and very spacious. I enjoyed the Costa Rican people the most. The staff at Casa Pinita helped us arrange mountain biking, deep see fishing, scuba & zip lining. Brasilito is a small town 10 minutes away where you can buy groceries and enjoy meeting other locals. If you are training for a race (running, tri, swimming) this is also a spot for elite athletes. The house has its own kayak and a paddle board, I went snorkeling everyday.The food at the restaurant next door is delicious and the host Tanya will make you feel at home immediately. I recommend the ceviche mixto or the vegetarian spring roles. Casa Pinita comes with its own maid (Anita) and she is amazing, always smiling and helping you feel relaxed. I took too many clothes as I did not realize the house was fully equipped with a top of the line washer and dryer. Anita carefully washed and folded my clothes everyday. The night was very quiet so sleeping was a joy. We woke up to a fresh local tropical juice followed by amazing Costa Rican coffee and local breakfast. I have travelled to other places in South America, Europe and Asia, and nothing compares to this experience.
