Private Colonial Villa | Plunge Pool & Trails

Summary:

Ready to explore paradise?



The Space:

WELCOME TO CASA MAYA

Your Costa Rican story begins in a colonial courtyard where water cascades into a private plunge pool. This is Las Catalinas: a village that feels like coastal Europe dropped into the tropics, complete with restaurants, coffee shops, and beach clubs.



THE MAIN HOUSE

Pocket doors fold away to reveal an open living space designed for groups who actually want to spend time together. The kitchen isn't just for show: granite breakfast bar for six, modern appliances, everything you need to recreate that ceviche from lunch. Smart TV loads your streaming accounts for movie nights. Dining table sits everyone comfortably.



Three upstairs bedrooms, three en-suite bathrooms. The master gets the king bed. Second bedroom has a queen. Third bedroom fits families: full-size bunk beds with a pull-out trundle beneath.



THE PRIVATE APARTMENTS

Two studio apartments downstairs with separate entrances and kitchenett. One has a king bed, the other a queen: both with en-suite bathrooms and their own laundry. Perfect for couples wanting privacy or teens wanting independence.

Beyond our expectations

Now our new favorite place. We enjoyed so much the condo. We would have prefer a bigger pool but with the ocean so close it wasn’t needed. Every single detail on the house was well done. We wlll be back!

The house was fantastic. It was large enough for our entire family and the kids loved the plunge pool. The beds did squeak a little and it would’ve been really nice to have some beach towels since we were traveling out of the country. But other than that, the kitchen was well stocked and very spacious for family dinners and games!We would stay here again!
