COMMUNITY

Welcome to Catalina Cove, your gateway to oceanside living in Playa Brasilito, a serene and secure gated community perfectly nestled between the iconic Playa Flamingo and Playa Conchal. This expansive, 125-acre haven, connected by paved roads, is a sanctuary for anyone seeking a life of tranquility, convenience, and connection. With low HOA fees, flat(ish) terrain, and a community of full-time residents, Catalina Cove offers an unparalleled lifestyle that’s as warm and inviting as the Costa Rican sun.

Imagine waking up each day just a short stroll to Brasilito Beach, with the shimmering sands of Playa Conchal only 20 minutes away by foot and the vibrant Playa Flamingo, with its new $50M Marina, within easy reach. In here, life unfolds at a relaxed pace, families thrive, neighbors become friends, and the beauty of your natural surroundings is ever-present. This is more than just a place to live – it’s a place to grow, explore, and savor every moment.

For those dreaming of setting down full-time roots, this is an ideal choice. This community is a haven for families, with many residents choosing to make it their permanent home. Here, you’ll find yourself within walking distance of not only three breathtaking beaches but also the charming village of Brasilito, with its emerging dining scene, cozy coffee shops, and local conveniences. And for families with children, the esteemed CRIA Academy and La Paz International School are just a five-minute drive away, making daily life even more seamless.

What truly sets this community apart, however, is its spacious homesites. Unlike many gated communities, Catalina Cove offers spacious homesites – often over an acre – dotted with mature trees, fruit-bearing plants, and lush tropical vegetation. Welcome to a community and your personal beachside paradise, where the dream of coastal living becomes a vibrant reality. Welcome home!

AMENITIES

CATALINA COVE

Welcome to Catalina Cove, where the art of living meets the essence of Costa Rica’s natural beauty. Here, your peace of mind is paramount, with 24/7 gated security and expansive homesites, ensuring that your sanctuary remains just that – a place of serenity, whether you’re at home or out exploring the world.

24/7 Gated Access

At the entrance to the Catalina Cove gated community, 24/7 gated security ensures peace of mind and controlled access, so you can rest easy, whether you’re in residence or away from home.

Unlike many gated communities, Catalina Cove offers spacious homesites – often over an acre – dotted with mature trees, fruit-bearing plants, and lush tropical vegetation.

Costa Rica’s coasts are often hilly, making Catalina Cove’s relatively flat terrain a big plus for anyone who loves to walk, bike, skateboard, or simply stroll outside. Especially great for families, whose kids can learn to bike, skate, and enjoy the outdoors.

Proximity to Beaches

Located on Playa Brasilito, Catalina Cove provides excellent access to area beaches: You can walk to Playa Conchal (20 minutes) and Playa Flamingo (and its new $50M marina) is a short 5-minute drive away.

Ultimate Convenience

A network of paved roads connects the community to its neighbors and the village of Brasilito – a huge part of Catalina Cove lifestyle, as the town is home to an emerging dining scene, cozy café culture, and a suite of local conveniences, including CRIA Academy and La Paz International School, two of the area’s top private schools, just minutes from the front gate.

Architecture

Homes at Catalina Cove speak to tropical-modern design and contemporary architecture, often incorporating high-end finishes (quartz countertops, artisanal ceilings, luxury swimming pools, etc.) into open designs, ample natural light, and expansive terraces.

Life here is designed for the indoor-outdoor lifestyle – in part, thanks to the community’s large lots, which typically offer 1+ acre of privacy and serenity. As a result, you’ll enjoy room to spread out on covered terraces, sunny pool decks, al fresco dining, and beautifully landscaped outdoor retreats.
