The Space:
2-Bedroom Ocean-View Condo in Flamingo with Pool
Oceanica 822 in Flamingo is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo overlooking a spectacular beach. It’s on the ground floor of one of Flamingo’s tallest buildings, with a hillside perch that gives it a fabulous ocean view.
The open-concept main room leads from the kitchen to the dining area to the living room to the glass doors opening on the balcony — meaning the ocean view is always in sight.
The fully equipped kitchen has an island with granite counters, sink and breakfast bar that allows you to prep food while looking out on the ocean. Next to that is a wooden dining table and chairs, followed by a living room with plush furniture, TV, air conditioning and ceiling fan.
One unique feature of Oceanica 822: The coffee table and end table in the living room, as well as the headboard in the master bedroom, were made by sawing slices out of tree trunks, preserving their natural shape.
The living room is decorated by huge photographs of tranquil seascapes with boats. And one unexpected touch is the Moorish-style arched doorway that leads from the front door to the main room.
The balcony is furnished with a round glass table and chairs, and the expansive view takes in Brasilito Bay and Flamingo Beach, all the way to a peninsula in the distance that looks like a crouching crocodile.
One bedroom features a roomy bed and sliding glass doors that open on a terrace, plus a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. The other bedroom has another queen bed.
If you ever get tired of hanging out here, just head down to the swimming pool to work on your tan, surrounded by palm trees and flowering plants. While you’re at it, ask your spouse to cook some meat on the grill.
**The property generally does not allow animals or pets, this includes service and emotional support animals. For detailed information, please refer to the booking policy and/or house rules.**
Venturing out from Oceanica 822, Flamingo
This unit is in the middle of everything, a short (but steep) walk from downtown Flamingo, where there are restaurants, bars and shops. You can walk to two beaches — Playa Potrero, where a world-class marina is now under construction, and Playa Flamingo, a crescent-shaped beauty with plenty of shade.
Be sure to book one or three adventure tours while you’re here — there’s ziplining, horseback riding, mountain biking, ATV rentals, fishing, scuba diving, sunset cruises, and wildlife rescue centers with jaguars, monkeys and sloths.
There’s only one thing you’re not going to like about Oceanica 822 in Flamingo, and that’s the day you’ll have to leave.

The Neighborhood:
Oceanica is a luxury high-rise condominium on Flamingo’s exclusive North Ridge with staggering views of both Playa Potrero and Playa Flamingo. It’s a short walk from here to both of these beaches and the conveniences of downtown Flamingo, which is home to gourmet restaurants, bars and shops.
The new Marina Flamingo, also a short walk downhill, offers a state-of-the-art facility for mooring yachts and fishing boats, plus a large commercial plaza with fine restaurants, high-end stores and more. Oceanica is in the heart of the action, with a beautiful pool surrounded by palm trees and flowering plants, always offering a stunning view of the ocean.
Flamingo is a high-end beachfront community notable for its dazzling ocean views and the beautiful, hilly peninsula that juts out into the Pacific, separating Playa Potrero from Playa Flamingo.
Flamingo is home to a wide array of stunning homes and vacation rentals, as well as humbler lodging options, and it has restaurants, grocery stores, banks and other conveniences.
A brand-new, state-of-the-art marina opened to the public in 2022, with slips for yachts and fishing boats, condos for rent and all kinds of shops and restaurants. Other major developments here include the 360 Splendor del Pacifico luxury condominiums on top of the North Ridge, the Margaritaville Beach Resort, and the upscale Mar Vista housing development, where there’s an excellent private school called La Paz.
Good restaurants in town include the Coco Loco, a beachfront eatery known for its coconut drinks and standout cuisine; Marie’s, a reliable standard with a long and enticing menu; Angelina’s, featuring fine Italian dining in an elegant environment; and several options at the Margaritaville, including the 5 O’Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill.
Flamingo was largely developed by foreigners, and it lacks the traditional Costa Rican downtown with a soccer field plaza, church and school. The heart of town is an upscale commercial plaza with stone steps, fountains, restaurants and shops. Farther away on the road to Brasilito, you’ll find smaller restaurants, hotels, banks, hardware stores and the Super Massai grocery store.
Flamingo is more or less the centerpiece of a beautiful coastline stretching from the Reserva Conchal resort in the south to the Las Catalinas resort in the north, with the more traditional Costa Rican towns of Brasilito and Potrero in between. Flamingo is within easy striking distance of several beaches, including Conchal, Flamingo, Potrero, Penca, Prieta, Pan de Azucar and Danta.
Getting Around:
Our agents will be happy to assist you with renting a car, giving you the freedom to explore the area where you want, when you want. For short drives to nearby towns or beaches, golf carts are another popular mode of transportation. You can also rent a bicycle to ride around in town or beyond.
We can arrange transfers to and from the airport. Rental cars can also be delivered to your property at no additional cost, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenery as our private van drives you here from the airport.
Taxis are available but can be a bit hard to find. Many locals use buses to get around, though there are a limited number of routes and times of day when you can catch them. Private shuttles can be a great option for traveling to nearby destinations, and many tour companies offer transportation to and from the tour. Our information brochure will provide you with useful information on local transportation options and points of interest, as well as contact information for taxis and shuttles.
