Las Catalinas, Santa Cruz, Guanacaste, Crete house - Houses for Rent in Playa Danta, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Overall, we had a good stay. The place was clean, centrally located and having a private bathroom for each bedroom was a big plus. The only downsides were the slow communication, we reported the broken coffee machine but never received a response. The nearby construction, which can be noisy during the day, and some appliances, which are a bit outdated. Overall, it's a good value for the price, and I'd recommend it if you don't mind those minor issues.

A beautiful and unique place, clean and cozy

Un lugar bello y único, limpio y acogedor

We have visited Ely’s place several times and will definitely be back!!! We always have a wonderful time!!! Thank you so much 🙏🏽💯

The place is beautiful. The photos don't capture how beautiful it is. I would definitely stay at Casa Creta again.

El lugar es hermoso, las fotos no capturan lo bello que es. Definitivamente volvería a hospedarme en Casa Creta.

Wonderful experience; spectacular property. Loved our stay.

A stellar stay here at Ely’s Las Catalinas.  Everything, from prompt and courteous communication to exquisite accommodation helped w a wonderful stay.  I’d definitely recommend visiting and staying at Ely’s- charming and comfortable…and the views of the water…oh my!

This place is so beautiful we booked another trip just a month later! Such a stunning view and neighborhood. The design of the houses and cobblestone streets is so inviting. The view from the apartment was peering over these falling terracotta-roofed houses to the ocean. It was so enjoyable and safe to walk from the house to the beach to a little store to the paddleboard rental shop. The house was perfect for our family and now we’re hoping to go back as a couple for our anniversary. So pretty with a balcony to enjoy the night sky and ocean view. The check-in was super easy and contactless. We just followed the instructions with the code and we were set. There is room to park one car in the garage but then you can walk to absolutely everything else you may need including a delicious restaurant (get the fish tacos). This area is perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, and mountain biking. Highly recommend the house, the location and the beach.

Very nice view at all times, comfortable and clean, good location, and all the staff are friendly and helpful.

Muy bonita vista a todas horas, cómodo y limpio, bien ubicado y todo el personal atiende amable.

The place is very nice, has a nice view, and the accommodation is clean. Only the check-in instructions were not clear, which caused confusion, and we had to keep contacting them about that.

El lugar es muy lindo, tiene una linda vista, hospedaje limpio. Solamente las instrucciones de entrada no fueron claras y causa confusión y hay que estar contactando para eso.

Nice house, super comfortable beds, equipped with everything you need, the perfect location to get to know the town of Las Catalinas.  Ely was very friendly, and helped us with everything we needed.  The only issue is that there is nowhere to store luggage if you arrive early, but everything else was great.

Linda casa, camas super cómodas, equipada con lo necesario, la ubicación perfecta para conocer el pueblo de Las Catalinas.  Ely muy amable, nos ayudó en todo lo que necesitabamos.  El único tema es que no hay donde guardar equipaje si llegas temprano, pero todo lo demás estuvo muy bien.

Great location and amenities in the accommodation

Excelente ubicación y comodidades en el alojamiento

Amazing house and amazing view..clean and modern. Amazing neighbourhood. Hope to come back soon.

Very comfortable house, very clean and good privacy.

Muy cómoda la casa, muy limpia y buena privacidad.

The place is just beautiful. The views from the social area are amazing, we enjoyed a cup of coffee watching the sunset and we loved it. Everything was perfect. It was very easy to find and the whole checking and checkout process was super simple. Thanks Ely

We had and amazing time at Ely's place, amazing view of the Ocean and town. Walking distance to everything. Will definitely stay here again and will recommend to our guest and friends.

Nice apartment, comfortable, in Las Catalinas, a unique place in Costa Rica! I recommend it!!

Bonito apartamento, comodo, en Las Catalinas un lugar único en Costa Rica!, lo recomiendo!!

Beautiful home, great location. Ely has been very kind. You will feel like you are right at home. Keep in mind that the property has three levels. A spectacular view

Casa preciosa, excelente ubicación. Ely ha sido muy amable. Te sentirás como en casa. Tener en cuenta que la propiedad tiene tres niveles . Una vista espectacular

Spectacular view, a house of the gods, a turquoise blue sea accompanies us

Vista espectacular, una casa de dioses , un mar azul turquesa nos acompaña

Everything was amazing, the view, the place, the super comfortable beds. Worth it

Increíble todo, la vista, el lugar, las camas súper cómodas. Vale la pena

Excellent location and responsive host…perfect for our weekend getaway. Thank you!

What’s special about this spot is that it is one of the very few spots you can drive your car up to the house in las Catalina’s.   All other homes you must walk a lot!   This home has its own private drive.   Which is special!   Had a great weekend with the family.  Will return!

6th time in Las Catalinas and 2nd time with Elizabeth. fits my family of 5 well. convenient to beach club, playa dante and pots and bowls. Everything is curated and beautiful. We love Casa Creta!

Elizabeth’s place is a beautiful house with an amazing view. It was clean and comfortable, the beds were great, and there is a good kitchen with all of the necessities for cooking. I would definitely suggest buying your groceries in another town as the store in Las Catalinas is very nice but twice the price. There are just a few restaurants in town, but the food is good to excellent. Keep in mind that the walk up to the house is steep with cobblestones and stairways. Elizabeth was helpful and responsive. The streets are unmarked and there are no house numbers but we were able to find the house with Elizabeth’s instructions. We thoroughly enjoyed the house, the beach, nearby hikes, monkeys in the trees, and gorgeous sunsets!

The property has everything you need, with tasteful decor, super comfortable beds as well as pillows.  Private, quiet and charming environment.  Definitely recommended.

La propiedad tiene todo lo necesario, con una decoración de buen gusto, camas súper cómodas al igual que las almohadas.  Entorno privado, silencioso y encantador.  Definitivamente recomendado.

Beautiful place, the house is very comfortable and the view is amazing

Absolutely beautiful property! All the furnishings were gorgeous and so classy. I left with house envy. Highly recommend. It was spotlessly clean and everything was very high end and amazing quality.

Great location in Las Catalinas. Beautiful view. Living/dining space is small but we weren’t home much anyways.

The place is spectacular with a breathtaking view, the villa has all the truth more than grateful

El lugar es espectacular con una vista impresionante la villa cuenta con todo la verdad más que agradecido

Amazing views of the Pacific Ocean Felt super safe and secure, the garage is such a bonus to have, the house has everything needed.

Eli, help us in everything, love the views, the commodity of the place and everything

Stunning views! We love Las Catalinas and Elizabeth’s place was so lovely! We booked last minute and were pleased with the ease of getting into the home. We would stay again! Thank you! 🙏🏼

Very nice home and location in Las Catalinas.

The Crete house was ideal for our group of 6 people, each of the 3 rooms has its own private bathroom. The host was very friendly and always available. Respond quickly to any concerns. The village of Las Catalinas is beautiful, my family was very pleasantly surprised, it is so much nicer than they imagined. We hope to return when we have visitors from outside Costa Rica. Highly recommended.

La casa Creta fue ideal para nuestro grupo de 6 personas, cada una de las 3 habitaciones tiene su propio baño privado. La anfitriona fue muy amable y siempre estuvo disponible. Responde muy rápido a cualquier inquietud. El pueblo de Las Catalinas es precioso, a mi familia le sorprendió muy gratamente, es mucho más bonito de lo que imaginaban. Esperamos volver cuando tengamos visitantes de fuera de Costa Rica. Muy recomendado.

We had a lovely stay at Casa Crete.   The space was larger than we were anticipated and worked great for the five of us.    Views are amazing and walking to and from town felt like a new experience every time.    Elizabeth was extremely responsive and quick to address a couple minor items that we called to her attention.   We loved the house and loved Las Catalinas.    What a beautiful town and friendly place.     It’s not to fall in love with this place.

Loved staying here! Elizabeth is super helpful and responsive. The area is absolutely gorgeous and the pictures definitely don’t do it justice. The place looked a lot better than it already did in the pictures. Definitely recommend it!!

We really loved our time at Casa Crete in Las Catalinas. The house was perfect! The sunset views each night were spectacular and we loved sitting on the balcony each night to watch it. We were 4 people (two couples) and there was plenty of bedroom space for us. Not so much living room space or kitchen space to do anything more than light food prep. But honestly we weren’t home much anyway to care. We loved walking into the shops and restaurants. We used the Beach club however it was under construction and only the family pool was open and it was full of screaming kids. So instead we enjoyed walking to the beach and going for hikes. I even attended a yoga class while I was there and loved it. The house is up high on the hill and provided some great walking exercise. Be prepared to do lots of walking and sweat from the heat. Overall I highly recommend this house and hope we can go back again one day.

A beautiful view of the sea, exclusive area, the place is spectacular

Una vista al mar lindisima , zona exclusiva , el lugar es espectacular

perfect for our family of 5. we hope to visit again soon.

Excellent place and spacious and comfortable house. 100% recommended the experience on the spectacular site of Las Catalinas.

Excelente lugar y casa amplia y cómoda. 100 % recomendada la experiencia en el espectacular sitio de Las Catalinas.

I loved the place, Elizabeth was always quick to respond to our inquiries, and in the house we could find clear wifi instructions, such as walking the place, phones, and so on. I would definitely stay at this place again!

Me encantó el lugar, Elizabeth siempre respondía rápido a nuestras consultas y en la casa podiamos encontrar instrucciones claras del wifi, como transitar el lugar, teléfonos y demás. Definitivamente volvería a hospedarme en este lugar!

Elizabeth’s space is nestled perfectly in the beautiful Las Catalina’s. Her home was breathtaking with views looking out into the ocean. Location was perfect with shops, restaurants, pool club and beach being all within walking distance. Thank you for a truly memorable experience!

The stay was amazing, the place was super central, clean and safe. Also, access was easy and everything we needed was available. Very clean and spacious place.

La estadía estuvo increíble, el lugar super centrico, limpio y seguro. Ademas el acceso fue fácil y todo lo que necesitábamos estaba disponible. lugar muy limpio y espacioso.

I loved the place and all its surroundings

Hi Elizabeth’s place was beautiful. We had a great time at las Catalinas. Just be aware construction is in front of the unit and there is only one parking spot. We had 6 people so 2 cars. If you arrive before check in there is only paid parking.

The town, the house, the views, the experience of walking the town streets and leading you to the sea, everything is beautiful and relaxing. I'm sure we'll be back

This place is just perfect! Great place to relax, very comfortable and beautiful. Definitely will be back. Thank you!

The house is very clean, beautiful and well located! Elizabeth is a super host, always attentive.

La casa muy limpia, bonita y bien ubicada! Elizabeth es una súper anfitriona, siempre al pendiente.

Beautiful place to stay and enjoy las catalinas Some construction nearby which can be disturbing but hopefully will be finished soon.

Great location! Parking very convenient (in garage)!

This home was amazing! I really felt like I was in Greece with the homes all on the hill looking over the water. If I would have known how awesome the surroundings was I would have booked for longer, but I tried to stay in different locations explore the best of Costa Rica. I’m so impressed with this home. Can’t wait to book it again when I return on another trip there. Elizabeth was very detailed on instructions on location so thank you for making the trip a little easier.

The home was beautiful and clean. Check in was very easy. The garage was convenient especially since we rented a car for the week. Construction was happening directly across the street (which we read from other reviews). They start early morning and end late afternoon.  If you plan on cooking during your stay, make sure to bring your own condiments (salt, pepper, oil etc) - there’s a small market within walking distance. Washer dryer at garage level was also convenient - again, bring your own detergent. We’d recommend this place in Las Catalinas!

Amazing location. Beautiful, high quality home. Beach club was very nice. It's a special little community, but expensive. I recommend shopping for groceries before arriving. I would stay there again.

This property was perfect for our stay in the Las Catalinas area. The unit was stocked with the essentials for our group, the unit was mostly clean (with the exception of the primary bathroom that had some hair in the shower and hand soap bottles that were not filled), the unit had great natural light, and a very cool community surrounding. The community is under construction but it didn’t bother us. It was a little confusing as the pools and some of the restaurants in the community are not available to guests of this unit unless you pay $15 per person a day. We were bummed out by that but we made the most of it by using the public beach and restaurants that are available. This unit/community has lots of elevation and lots of stairs so be mindful of that before booking. The community is beautiful! A group of Howler monkeys watched the sunset on the beach with us both nights. Overall, great experience!

This was a gorgeous house in Las Catalinas walking distance to the beaches and the town. Very close to hotel Casa Chameleon if you want to check out their restaurant. There is space for one car in their garage and if it’s not enough you can park 2 more in the parking lot which is quite far. I will add that there was loud construction right in front of the house which could be a deal breaker if you want a peaceful vacation, luckily we were out during the day. Overall the place was beautifully decorated and very comfortable and the town of Las Catalinas and beach are incredibly beautiful.

Our stay at Elizabeth's place in Las Catalinas was fantastic.   The house is very spacious and clean, the beds are updated, firm and comfortable and our family loved the three en suite bathrooms.   The views of the Pacific from the third-floor bedroom and balcony are spectacular and the kitchen was well appointed to make meals at home.   Elizabeth was very attentive to our needs and her communication was quick and helpful.   It seemed like her only concern was making our stay as perfect as possible.   With the very slight and minor issues that arose, which are not even worth mentioning, her communication was quick, and her actions were designed only to resolve the issues without any effort on our part and to ensure that our stay was free of any worry or concern.

Thank you very much, we had a very nice family day. Everything was super good, we really enjoyed it. The place is beautiful and the stay is spectacular.

Muchas gracias, pasamos muy bonitas días en familia. Todo estuvo súper bien, realmente disfrutamos. El lugar precioso y el hospedaje espectacular.

The stay at Elizabeth's house was very pleasant both for the house itself and the location of it, both the staff in charge of the house and all of Las Catalinas without helpful, attentive and very friendly Wishing you happy holidays and a Happy New Year

La estadía en la casa de Elizabeth fue muy agradable tanto por la casa en sí como por la ubicación de esta, tanto el personal a cargo de la casa como de toda Las Catalinas sin serviciales, atentos y muy amables Les deseamos una Feliz Navidad y Prospero Año Nuevo

Las Catalinas is a wonderful place and this particular house has the best view. Although getting there from the beach requires a steep hike, you can ask for help with a golf cart or leave the car in the public parking lot (free for guests) near the beach and keep it in the garage at the end of the day. An excellent house, comfortable, with a beautiful view and a really easy check-in process.

Las Catalinas es un lugar maravilloso y esta casa en particular tiene la mejor vista. Aunque para llegar desde la playa se requiere una caminata empinada, es posible pedir ayuda con un carrito de golf o dejar el carro en el parqueo público (gratis para huéspedes) cerca a la playa y guardarlo en el garage al final del día. Una excelente casa, cómoda, con hermosa vista y un proceso de check-in realmente sencillo.

The place was extremely clean and we loved that the house had its own private garage.

El lugar estaba sumamente limpio y nos encantó que la casa tuviera su propia cochera privada.

Spacious home, beautiful views, great communication.

Perfect stay. Our group of 4 had a great stay, we loved the place. Had breakfast at the hotel in Catalinas and coffee at Pura Vida ride, we also cooked at the kitchen (fully equipped). Thank you for a great stay. Host was always available, great communication.

Very nice place, perfectly clean, exactly as shown. Las Catalinas is also a pretty neighborhood with a beautiful beach and several possibilities to do outdoor activities like hiking, mtb, etc Be aware that it requires some walking and stairs climbing to move around.

Beautiful place in a spectacular location. Comes with everything you need. The host is very helpful and quick to respond. We had an excellent stay!

Very lovely home with incredible views in a luxury development.   The home is up on a hillside so there was walking involved to get to the main part of the property and to the beach.  Close to the Casa Chameleon hotel just up the hill -- definitely reserve a spot at its restaurant Sentido Norte for watching the sunset. The home also has a garage which was convenient because we had a rental.  Be aware at the time of our stay there was construction across from the home.  We are early risers so it didn't bother us that they got started at 7:30 in the morning.

Great place, just construction is being done from 8-4 pm everywhere and it’s super loud and dusty. If you have a big family, we would recommend this place for a great stay.

This home exceeded our expectations. Las Catalinas is a gem of a town. The house has incredible views of the water and easy access to the town. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony and very spacious rooms. The WiFi was fast and parking was a plus (most villas don’t have it). Elizabeth was a great host and extremely accommodating to let us change dates etc. We hope to stay again soon in this beautiful home.

The place was great and communication was easy.

Great place! It surpassed our expectations! Great comunicación with the host! Will definitely recommend it!

Great view, comfortable beds, well equipped and spacious.

Photos do not even do this place justice!! We arrived and two of my friends literally triple-checked to make sure we were at the right place it was THAT nice! Elizabeth was so easy to communicate with, the guard was well-aware of who we were and that we would be arriving, even when we arrived 2 hours early. The location: nestled right next to Casa Chameleon, which we walked to for the best morning yoga I've ever done for $12. You can walk through the beautiful winding streets of Las Catalinas about 8-10 min to the restaurants and shops. You can either walk back up, or jump on one of the Casa Chameleon golf carts and tip the drivers :) The house: WOW WOW WOW! 3 incredible bedrooms, each with their own bathrooms, and plenty of space to spread out if with a group so you each have your own space. AC was fabulous. We had a private chef cook us dinner one night and the kitchen was plenty big enough and well-equipped for him and his sous-chef to cook a 7 course meal. Beds were SO comfy and WIFI was wicked fast. One of our friends worked remote one day and had zero issues. Overall: if you are not sure where to stay in Northern Guanacaste, I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend at least one trip here! Whether it's a couple nights with friends or a week with your family, this place can and will accomodate.

Amazing view and sunsets. Fun playing in the waves, hikes in the jungle. Western high-end restaurants and grocery store. Far from a town-may need a car to explore. It's a walking village with lots of hills and steps for a great workout. Beautiful architecture with "cobble stone" streets. Very European. Bike, kayake and surf shops which we didn't use. Kitchen is well supplied with pots and pans and such. Upstairs King is soft, downstairs Queens are firmer. Host lives in attached home with a big happy dog! Helpful hints: 1- Ask about construction happening. (good to ask anytime, anywhere, anyway) 2- Bring or buy your own ground coffee, laundry soap, salt, food staples. 3- Ask about construction happening. 4- Bring both flip-flops and heavier shoes for hiking 5- Ask about construction happening. 6- April brings some wonderful storms in the afternoon. Dress accordingly. Or not. 7- Bring coat hangers or fold your clothes nicely in drawers.

Super apartment, everything we expected and communication was very good

Super apartamento todo lo que esperábamos y la comunicación fue muy buena

Beautiful spot with beautiful views. We have stayed in several spots in Las Catalinas and this is one of our favourites! The hosts are lovely and wonderful

The house is beautiful, well equipped, very clean and the view is UNBELIEVABLE… just keep in mind that the house is at the top of the hill, so the walk when you come back from the beach or restaurants is hard especially for kids or older people, but that view is stunning… also the communication with the host was very helpful and quick… enjoy las Catalinas!!!

Beautiful home, well stocked and very clean. Host is quick to respond to any questions or requests.

Beautiful view and place ! The treatment was very kind. Thank you !

Hermosa vista y lugar ! El trato fue muy amable. Gracias !!!

Spectacular views and a very comfortable and impeccable clean apartment.

Vistas espectaculares y un apartamento muy cómodo e impecable de limpio.

Lovely place. I would definitely go again

Precioso lugar. Volvería a ir sin dudarlo

The views are breathtaking from every room. We sat and watched the rain storms move across the ocean, the electrical storms and the sunset. We have stayed in various homes in Las Catalinas over the years and were a bit worried that this was a bit of a walk but lots of scenic short cuts and keeps you fit. It really still felt very close by the restaurants, beach, Pura Vida ride and did not bother us even after a mountain bike ride. The place was perfect, nothing beats waking up to those views.
