About this property

Casa Mar y Sol was created by the coming together of two families, who decided to combine their two homes, Casa Mar and Casa Sol, into a single space where family and friends could celebrate life together in a beautiful beach town, resulting in a home ideal for large extended families or multiple families traveling together.

SERVICES & AMENITIES INCLUDED:
* Dedicated Housemom
* Arrival treat
* Daily Housekeeping
* Personalized Concierge Service
* Complimentary Valet Parking

Note: The Beach Club at Las Catalinas is a private entity, guests staying at this home can purchase access to its facilities onsite at an additional cost per person. The beach club is undergoing refurbishment; therefore, partial sections of the club may not be available to guests during their stay.

The pool courtyard at the center of the home features poolside lounge, shaded cabana, ample space for kids and adults, and a blend of shade and sun so that everyone can enjoy time together throughout the day. Casa Mar y Sol’s central location in town creates another way to spend time together, with beaches and cove to explore, multi-use trails through tropical forest, and town events like sunset beach dinners all just steps away along pedestrian streets.

Throughout the home, there is balance of spaces that makes vacation with large families or multiple families easy, enjoyable, and memorable. Separate living spaces between the two original homes foster a feeling of personal space. Social spaces like the pool courtyard, and the large living/kitchen/dining offer a naturally social space for everyone to share meals or other occasions. There’s a media room downstairs, so that young ones can be as loud and playful as they want while the upstairs remains a tranquil evening space.

A place to strengthen bonds with close family and friends of all ages, and form lifetime memories at experiences like ConnectOcean’s guided snorkeling expeditions, family hikes to the McHenry Peak, or dinners under the stars on Playa Danta.

An Absolutely Stunning Home!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Casa Mar Y Sol. The house is absolutely stunning... perfect for a fun girls' trip or a family getaway. There are plenty of spacious, beautifully decorated rooms with lots of outdoor space and a gorgeous view of the beach. The adorable house mom prepared a fabulous traditional Costa Rican breakfast (eggs, rice and beans, fresh fruit, smoothies,...) every morning as well as homemade guacamole and salsa every afternoon. Additionally she would take care of all of our laundry every day! We spent the days hiking, paddle boarding, kayaking, lounging by the pool or the beach. We had fabulous massages at the new spa on the property as well as yoga with a spectacular view of the ocean. There are plenty of activities to keep everyone busy and the concierge is always happy to suggest fun activities off the property which we all really enjoyed (a sunset catamaran tour with snorkeling and another great meal, ATV rides,...). Every evening we watched an amazing sun set either from the beach or from the fun hotel a short walk from the house. I absolutely love Las Catalinas and in particular Casa Mar Y Sol. I hope to be able to come back soon!!

AMAZING HOME at an AMAZING RESORT!

This home is the perfect getaway for a large family trip or girls getaway. The decor is amazing but it is still such a comfortable vacation home. The private spaces provided throughout the home works so well for large groups. The beds are so comfortable. Kimberly, the House Mom, makes morning and afternoons a true vacation. Her smoothies are amazing and the afternoon ceviche and guacamole are the best! The cabana by the plunge pool is a unique spot to relax and have cocktails with friends. I can't think of anything this house is missing. I will certainly be back!

This home is dreamy. Highly recommended!

The home was beautifully furnished yet very comfortable. It isn’t perfectly located and spacious. I highly recommend this property. We enjoyed dinner at the nearby Casa Chameleon. Our sunset catamaran cruise was spectacular.

Stunning

This resort is stunning offering everything you could want. Aside from the resort itself, this house is one of the largest homes in Las Catalinas. With 7 bedrooms, it can sleep a ton of people or you can just use the 2 bedroom apartment. I have stayed here a few times under different conditions. It is PERFECT for a girl's trip and ideal for an extended family holiday. Kimberly, the house mother, could not be sweeter making us breakfast and guacamole everyday! The activities like paddle boarding, kayaking or hiking were great ways to get in some exercise before your first margarita of the day! The food is amazing and I especially recommend the chicken wrap at Limonada. I understand the ceviche is to die for as well as the tuna poke! The accommodations are generous in size and the decor is spectacular! The plunge pool is great to cool off in or go up to the big pool at the beach club. The cabana outside by the plunge pool is where we would gather a lot - at night for cocktails or during the day for a shady, breezy place to read. The spa was just opened and I had a wonderful mani//pedi and a very relaxing massage. The staff at Las Catalinas is what really makes this place spectacular! Everyone you see is there to help you. Whether it is Mhairi at check in, Gerardi and Thomas at concierge, Manuel the bartender at the pool, Juvenal at Limonada, you are always greeted with a smile. The whole resort embodies the Costa Rican way - Pura Vida! I highly recommend this house!!

Spectacular Home in Las Catalinas

This home is beautifully decorated and there is not one thing the owner's have forgotten to include in this property. The furnishings, bedding and kitchen and appliances are all well appointed. The home easily fits large groups without giving up privacy and there is a wonderful large outdoor porch where we enjoyed our breakfast every morning. We also enjoyed sitting by our own plunge pool and the kids found a perfect place(the cabana)to watch movies in the evening! The owners were fantastic and gave us some great companies to use for fishing, surfing and even jet skiing. It was a wonderful vacation and we would definitly come back to this house!

Perfect for large group or multiple families

Loved this house and our time at Las Catalinas! The house has everything you need and then some! Extremely well-decorated, but still comfortable. The lay out is perfect for a large group or multiple families. The bunk room and large living area just outside that room, are perfect for kids. All the other bedrooms, especially the two masters, are very large. The daily house keeper or 'house mom', is a luxury you can't put a price tag on! From amazing breakfasts each morning, to fresh-squeezed juices and guacamole in the afternoon, and fresh laundry all day...you will be spooled and won't want to come home! The resort itself is beautiful...high-end, but not stuffy. Very family friendly...we felt safe letting our kids take full advantage of all the resort amenities on their own. But be sure to take advantage of all the activities and restaurants outside the resort too! Great area to explore!

I was lucky enough to stay in this beautiful home for a week this spring and I cannot say enough about it. I was with a large group (6 friends and 13 teenagers) and the house worked beautifully for such a large group. It is well furnished, well thought out, and spread out enough that you could get away the crowd if you needed to. We especially enjoyed the pool cabana room and the roof-top terrace. The entire property was beautiful, good restaurants, and plenty to do on-site. The resort concierge team did a beautiful job of planning our activities- surf lessons, horseback riding and the highlight of our trip, the half-day chartered sunset boat trip! They also suggested several great restaurants off the property, although another highlight of our trip was the Chef-cooked dinner that we did at the house, it was fabulous! I would come back again in a heartbeat, and I would recommend this home to friends and family.
