Oceanfront 23 Calle Cartagena is steps from the gorgeous local beach, Playa Danta. Set on Calle Cartagena, this home is built for connection. It’s easy to engage in friendly conversations with neighbors through the street-level pool terrace and outdoor living room. French doors and a wrought-iron balcony peer through the trees to the ocean from this Spanish Colonial–inspired villa designed by Eduardo Castillo. It looks outward from a rooftop terrace and inward to a quiet garden, letting you nod to the neighbors or entertain in private. Cross the terrace and you’re in Playa Danta Beach Park; walk 5 minutes and you’re shopping and dining in Las Catalinas.  The villa is laid out around a sunny terrace with a plunge pool that faces the beach. Spend the day on one of the loungers here, then adjourn to the shaded al-fresco dining area come evening or climb to the rooftop terrace for cocktails. There’s also a cable TV and Wi-Fi to entertain after dark.  Sand-toned walls and wood accents give this vacation rental ample traditional charm, while floor-to-ceiling windows show off the ocean views. The al-fresco dining area leads to an L-shaped great room with an indoor living area, dining table for eight, and a fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar.  A location in the Calle Cartagena neighborhood means Casa Naranja is close to both the beach and the town. Guests are welcome to use the pools, loungers, and fitness center at Las Catalinas Beach Club, and of course Playa Danta itself is just in front of the villa. A 5-minute walk brings you to downtown Las Catalinas, designed to be a new kind of Costa Rica beach town with pedestrian-friendly streets and a lively mix of local shops and casual restaurants.  BEDROOM & BATHROOM • Bedroom 1 - Master: King size bed, Ensuite bathroom with stand-alone rain shower, Dual vanity, Ceiling fan, Kitchenette, Lounge area, Television, Private balcony, Ocean view • Bedroom 2: King size bed, Ensuite bathroom with stand-alone rain shower, Ceiling fan, Walk-in closet, Air conditioning, Private balcony, Ocean view • Bedroom 3: 2 Single size beds, Shared access to hallway bathroom with Bedroom 4, Shower/bathtub combo, Dual vanity, Ocean view • Bedroom 4: 2 Single size bunk beds, Shared access to hallway bathroom with Bedroom 3, Shower/bathtub combo, Dual vanity, Ocean view FEATURES & AMENITIES • Fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar • Formal dining area with seating for 8 • Dishwasher • Ice maker • Wi-Fi • Air conditioning • Cable television • Washer/Dryer • Iron/Ironing board OUTDOOR FEATURES • Oceanfront • Plunge pool - unheated • Sun loungers • Outdoor furniture • Patio • Parking - 1 space • Ocean view STAFF & SERVICES Included: • Housekeeping - Daily 8:30am - 4:30pm • Concierge service Extra Cost (advance notice may be required): • Airport transfer • Private chef • Villa pre-stocking • Grocery shopping services • Activities and excursions LOCATION Points of Interest • 5 minute walk to Las Catalinas with restaurants and shops • 14 km to Reserva Conchal Golf Club Beach Access • Oceanfront to Playa Danta Beach Park • 8 minute drive to Playa Prieta • 1.7 km to Dantita Beach • 4.1 km to Playa Penca • 14 km to Playa Conchal Airport • 40 km west of Guanacaste International Airport (LIR)
