Cartagena 12C is a chic one-bedroom condo in a high-end residential community in Las Catalinas. The two-story unit can comfortably sleep two guests and offers stunning panoramic views of the ocean, surrounding mountains, and lush tropical scenery. This cozy 892-square-foot (83-square-meter) condo offers an open-concept living room, kitchen, and dining area. The bright and well-lit living room has a comfortable linen couch, a hanging wicker chair, and wrap-around floor-to-ceiling windows that offer beautiful ocean and mountain views. The modern kitchen is decorated with blue-and-white patterned tilework that is stylishly incorporated throughout the entire living and dining space, as well as vibrant teal cabinets and contemporary white appliances, including a refrigerator, microwave, oven, stovetop, and dishwasher. The kitchen provides open wooden shelving for storage, white stone countertops for food preparation, and an island that seats two. In addition, the dining area has a small round table with two teal chairs and a built-in dining bench. Upstairs, the bedroom is furnished with a plush king-sized bed, a flat-screen TV, a closet, and a balcony with a small table, chairs, and a hammock that overlooks the charming cobblestone streets and beach club of Las Catalinas. The ensuite bathroom offers a double-sink vanity with stylish gold mirrors and fixtures, high-end marble countertops, wood cabinets, and a walk-in shower. The unit also comes with a washer and dryer, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning. Housecleaning is available upon request. One of the most desirable perks of staying at Cartagena 12C is exclusive access to the Las Catalinas Beach Club (7 AM to 8 PM), valued at $30 per person per day, included in the unit’s rate. At the Beach Club, you’ll have access to a hot tub, a restaurant, a gym, and three swimming pools — a kid-friendly pool for families, a secluded pool for adults, and a lap pool. The Beach Club also offers a sauna and an ice plunge pool for an extra fee. No Pets Policy Please note that this property is not pet-friendly due to house and condominium rules. No exceptions will be made, and emotional support animals are not permitted. If guests arrive at check-in with pets that have not been verified and approved, access to the property will be denied. Playa Potrero Offering easy access to three beaches (Potrero, Penca and Prieta), this town combines upscale lodging options with the charm of a traditional Costa Rican town (think central plaza with church, school and soccer field). There are plenty of restaurants, shops and other conveniences, and the downtown area has two mini supers (convenience stores), as well as a commercial plaza with a coffee shop, a hairdresser and other businesses. Some of the liveliest nightlife in the region can be found at Las Brisas Bar, right on the beach, though it’s normally hopping only on Wednesdays (Ladies’ Night). Potrero has several nice housing developments with “Villagio” in the name, popular among Italians and other expats. You can find Italian gelato shops, Costa Rican sodas (small, affordable restaurants) and hotels in a range of prices (Pitaya Lodge, Bahía La Esmeralda, Hotel Isolina, Bahía del Sol). Just to the south of Potrero lie all the attractions of Surfside, and to the north is a beautiful, hilly drive along the ocean, ending at the Mediterranean-style village of Las Catalinas. Potrero is within easy striking distance of several beaches, and it’s a great base to explore the entire region — for a sampler of both the high-end and the humble. Special Places of Costa Rica is committed to protecting our properties and complying with short-term rental regulations, which is why all guests are required to complete an independent verification with our trusted partner, TRUVI, before check-in. You will be contacted via email, text, or app notification with instructions to complete this process. As part of the verification, you will need to choose between paying a refundable security deposit (which includes a non-refundable 2% processing fee) or purchasing a non-refundable damage waiver, which protects you in case of accidental damage during your stay. We strongly recommend the damage waiver, as it provides peace of mind and avoids tying up funds with a deposit. Both the TRUVI verification and your selection of either the deposit or the damage waiver must be completed prior to your arrival. Failure to complete either step may result in being denied access to the property and forfeiting the rental without refund. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Some construction — and a discount Please note that Las Catalinas is a growing project, and this means construction may be occurring during your stay. Every effort is made to minimize noise, but it’s not uncommon to see and hear ongoing construction nearby. It’s a small distraction in a beautiful and peaceful place. A discount to compensate guests has already been factored into the price of this unit.
