Outdoor Living
The beachfront outdoor living here is over-the-top good - there's no better outdoor space for a large group on the whole beach strip in Playa Potrero (guest review!).
• Huge covered outdoor kitchen and eating area
• Fire pit
• Gazebo at the edge of the property
• Grassy lounge areas shaded by palms - perfect for the sunset or a good book
• Pool with an extended lap lane
• Jacuzzi with jets (jets run 4 pm-10 pm only; jacuzzi is not heated)
• Pool cascades run during pool pump hours only
All of this sits directly on the beach at Playa Potrero.
__________________________________________
Location
• Walking distance to groceries, pharmacies, and restaurants in Playa Potrero
• 3 km from Playa Flamingo (white sand beach) and its marina (dining and shopping)
• Tamarindo nearby - known for surf lessons, shopping, and nightlife
• Playa Penca and Playa Prieta, two beautiful, quieter beaches just north of Potrero, are within easy striking distance
While a car isn't essential for your stay at Casa Bella Catalina, we recommend renting one (or a golf-cart) - it makes spontaneous day trips, exploring nearby beaches, and grocery runs much easier.

Our time at Casa Bella Catalina was perfect. After a difficult year we needed time to be together as a family to heal. We all kept saying this place is perfect. Like a resort all to ourselves. Each family had their own space and yet we came tosee more
Our time at Casa Bella Catalina was perfect. After a difficult year we needed time to be together as a family to heal. We all kept saying this place is perfect. Like a resort all to ourselves. Each family had their own space and yet we came together in the amazing outside oasis to spend time together.
Anytime we needed anything, help was always available. This place is perfect! |

Our stay in Potrero was amazing, the home was perfect with all the rooms and space we need for our group of 14. The beach front property had all we needed with a great outdoor area that was prefect for our gatherings and family. The home itself its perfect for largesmall families and the pool was great for the kids. Highly recommend the property and will for sure come back for future stays in the area! Lots to do and some great beaches to visit around the area.
