About this property

Casa Catalina, Vacation Home

Casa Catalina
Casa Catalina is a stunning home nestled in the heart of the jungle, offering an extraordinary experience surrounded by wildlife and the beauty of Nosara. This modern villa is thoughtfully designed to provide abundant natural light and fresh air, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the breathtaking surroundings of birds, monkeys, and lush greenery.
The property consists of three separate structures, making it an ideal choice for families or groups of friends seeking a private and upscale retreat. The compound is adorned with century-old Guanacaste trees, which provide a home to families of Howler monkeys, including adorable baby monkeys. Additionally, Casa Catalina is conveniently located just a short 4-minute walk from the Nosara area's most stunning beach.
The entrance of Casa Catalina welcomes guests with a beautiful dining area and a fully furnished, state-of-the-art kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances. The kitchen seamlessly flows into the living room, featuring a large mounted TV and a comfortable sofa for relaxation. Sliding glass doors open up to the pool and garden, creating a versatile and vibrant atmosphere for gatherings and special occasions.
The centerpiece of Casa Catalina is its magnificent 25-meter pool, perfect for refreshing dips and invigorating morning laps. Surrounding the pool, you'll discover outdoor lounge areas and a BBQ area, situated on each side of the kitchen and dining area. Take advantage of the serene garden setting to unwind and savor the surroundings. The property exudes a bright, open, and luxurious ambiance, seamlessly blending modern comforts with authentic Costa Rican culture. Wake up to the melodious sounds of chirping birds, thanks to the proximity to the bird sanctuary. This truly is a paradise for nature lovers.
The master bedroom, located in a separate structure, offers ample space, a comfortable king-sized bed, generous closet space, and a full jack-and-jill bathroom with stunning views of the pool and garden. On the upper level, you'll find the second master suite, featuring a terrace, a king-sized bed, a working desk, a full bath, and an invigorating outdoor shower.
The lower level boasts two queen bedrooms, each furnished with a queen-sized bed, a couch, a walk-in closet, a full bathroom, and sliding glass doors that provide natural light and views of the lush landscaping. These rooms can be interconnected through an interior door if desired, offering flexibility for larger groups or families.
At Casa Catalina, the fusion of luxury and natural splendor awaits, promising an unforgettable stay in this tropical paradise.

House beautiful- bird sanctuary bad
I hesitated to write a review as our feelings about Casa Catalina are mixed. Property is beautiful, spacious and unique. Sadly, our stay was very unrestful & frustrating to say the least with the incredibly loud steady noise of the Macaws next door. I would not recommend this property for this issue alone. Management staff was amazing when we needed assistance for anything. Again, beautiful property terrible location beside a Nacaw Sanctuary.

Dissappointing
The previous reviewer said it all. The host’s romantic description of the bird sanctuary next door does not paint an accurate depiction. These birds hit 60-80 decibels according to my apple devices. The noise is constant throughout the day and starts at first light. We were 70 days into our Costa Rica trip when we moved into this home. The sounds of construction, howler monkeys and tropical wild birds were not new to us and we understand these come with the territory. This was different. The home itself is lovely and plenty functional with the exception of a broken dishwasher that we suspect was a known issue before we pointed it out. We were told that the owner wanted to complete a warranty claim, which did not occur in the 16 days we rented this home. Management’s response to my concerns about having rented a home that is described as having “brand new appliances” was met with, “it is what it is”. Unfortunately, the lack of remedy to a simple issue aggravated the already worn nerves of someone who tried their best to embrace an “unparalleled upscale jungle experience” as the description states.
