Catalina Cove is ideally situated between two of Costa Rica’s most beautiful beaches.
Brasilito, the gateway to world-famous Playa Conchal, is approximately a 10-minute walk away. Playa Conchal is known for its calm, crystal-clear water and distinctive sand made from tiny pieces of soft, shimmering shells.
Playa Flamingo, with its pristine soft sand and warm turquoise water, is an easy 10-minute drive north. Several other cove beaches are also nearby and ready to explore.
Within walking distance, you will find:
- A charming coffee shop
- Restaurants
- Souvenir shops
- A grocery store
- A pharmacy
Several vibrant neighboring towns are a short drive away, offering additional dining and shopping options. The state-of-the-art Flamingo Marina features ocean adventures, restaurants, boutique shops, and an athletic center.
Whether you prefer relaxing, exploring, or enjoying a combination of both, there are plenty of opportunities nearby.

This is a great place near the beach and great restaurants. We had a lovely time in the pool and cooking in the kitchen. The price was great and we really enjoyed the house. Thank you for helping us make our stay in Costa Rica a total delight.

Our family very much enjoyed our time in Casa Mariposa. Beautiful home with all the basic necessities for our 11 day stay. The hosting staff was very helpful and responsive. Would definitely come back to this AirBnB.

The house it’s just beautiful, big enough for 8 people. You could here the Congo monkeys in the morning. The pool was great and all the beaches nearby are just beautiful. Overall a great stay. There was a power outage to which I never got an answer back and also they were very unresponsive when the house alarm went off, we had to call them several times to get an answer on how to fix it. Other than that it was great.

We had a same day booking and Blue Zone Experience was on top of it from the very beginning! We felt very safe as there was always security as soon as you enter plus an addition gate to enter. The location was in a safe neighborhood, however, leaving the community it was not the best. I would still recommend the location for its beautiful layout and amenities. Overall a 10/10 as we had a responsive host who was willing to drop everything and assist us in times of need!

We had a great stay here during our time in Costa Rica. The pool was an absolute highlight. Being able to come "home" and have a relaxing swim after adventuring all day made the trip for us. Be warned, the pool area is so inviting, you may find yourself wanting to stay in rather than going out! Clean, comfortable and well appointed rooms allowed us to instantly settle in on arrival. Having 3 bathrooms meant everyone had time to get ready to go or wind down from the day. There is parking for a rental and the locked gate makes the place feel very secure. The kitchen had everything you need to make meals at home and there is a small well stocked market just at the end of the lane. If you want to go out, the beach and a number of restaurants and sodas are easily walkable as well. Our host Mariela was responsive, friendly and very helpful. Everything lived up to what it was advertised to be. Definitely book here if you're thinking about it, we certainly will if we come back to Costa Rica.

Beautiful and relaxing. We loved using the pool. Having groceries already ready for us when we got there was soooo amazing. Also loved how beaches and things were accessible by golf cart. Felt safe in the community. Concierge was always ready to help and that was so wonderful
