This house was lovely and elegant but comfortable, spacious, and came with a Casa Mama who cooked breakfast, made beans and rice and guacamole and smoothies, and cleaned and did laundry. The infinity hot tub looked out at the beach just a few minutes away. Our three generations fit in beautifully. It was the sort of place that was aesthetically pleasing but you didn't have to worry about fragility of furniture. We appreciated it and took good care of it. It is one of the houses in Las Catalinas, a well-thought out small development with a wonderfully friendly and capable staff, a restaurant and bar with goodies, equipment rentals, grocery buying options, etc.T his was a fabulous cream vacation!

WOW! That's how our group of 12 (6 adults and 6 kids) felt as we arrived and began exploring StuCasa - it's even more amazing than it appears in the pictures. The house and surroundings at Las Catalinas are beautiful. I can't think of anything that was lacking with the house. Nice, large kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and everything we needed to cook at home. Great outdoor spaces, including the balconies, outdoor kitchen/grill, lovely walkway between the main house and guest house, patio with fountain and of course, the pool and jacuzzi (kids were either in the pool or at the beach the entire time). Beds were comfy and the master bath with the shower that opened to the outside was a special treat. We were totally spoiled by the House Mama - breakfast and clean up every morning, laundry, general housekeeping and the best pineapple smoothies EVER! Loved being so close to the beach - easy to run back to the house if needed and the sound of the ocean was ever-present and soothing. Lots of space despite a house full of people - plenty of quite places to escape to for reading or napping and the large kitchen/dining/living area was perfect for entertaining friends who were staying in another beautiful Las Catalinas rental. The perfect place to stay for a perfect vacation in Costa Rica. Can't wait to return!
