Peter tried out his new underwater camera on our trip this summer and got some very shaky but pretty cool footage of the tide pools and snorkeling at Playa Penca!

An article about Las Catalinas, 5 minutes from the condo. We always like to spend a day here. Great hiking trails! https://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/las-catalinas-costa-rica-beach-town?fbclid=IwAR00So-nSz25MkJihueWfA58JZ7qBPMM-3EkVLNgAd5qJv-MK0RMw-Oxp1E

Some pics of our last trip in June. We’re excited to go back in a couple of weeks! Our condo still has some availability over the winter since folks seem to be waiting until the last minute to make travel plans but it’s starting to fill up faster. Let us know if you want to book a trip!

Look at what jumps out of the water at the very end of this video at Playa Conchal. I didn’t even notice it at the time!
It's likely a Spotted Eagle Ray - we've seen several up close while snorkling.

Here’s a few of the great restaurants we recommend that are walking distance from the condo - La Jama, Soda Marcell, Carpe Diem, Las Brisas, Hemingway’s at the Sailing Center, La Pizzateria, and The Beach House. The Surfbox is amazing too but it’s not walking distance, about a five minute drive.

We were SO excited to see that the best ice cream shop ever just moved closer to our condo, about a 2 minute walk! Don’t miss this Gelato - especially the chocolate and coconut!

We found an AMAZING snorkeling spot today! We saw three sea turtles, tons of starfish and countless schools of beautiful tropical fish right in front of that cylindrical rock on the end of the cove. We got a kayak from the Costa Rica Sailing Center here on Playa Potrero and paddled out to the second little private beach after the marina. Very cool black volcanic sand too!

We enjoyed a hike at Las Catalinas (about 10 minutes north of the condo) and a much needed dip in the ocean afterwards. It’s the middle of the dry season now so the hills are dry and brown (or “golden” as they say here:)) Las Catalinas has several nice restaurants, shops, and places to rent bikes, kayaks, etc. as well as a fun beach area with hammocks, swings and games.

We highly recommend visiting Playa Nombre de Jesus and the surrounding beaches. Park at Playa Real or Roblo and it’s an easy and very interesting walk along all the beaches and their connecting islands that you can walk out to around low tide. So much to explore! About a 30 minute drive from the condo. Mary Johnston You all may want to check this out during your visit!

Listening to the howler monkeys while drinking my coffee on the porch. You can’t really see them in this video but you can definitely hear them!

One of our new favorite places to kayak to - the island at the end of Playa Flamingo. Amazing snorkeling!

My favorite thing about our condo is the amazing location! Yesterday we walked from the condo down Potrero beach (a dark brown volcanic sand beach) to get to the Sailing Center to rent a kayak. We explored all the little coves and private beaches from there and found this amazing little beach with great snorkeling (cool starfish and Eagle Rays, etc!) Then we walked over to Penca beach (light sand beach with great snorkeling and tide pools) for the afternoon. While there I walked to Prieta beach (dark gray volcanic sand and tons of palm trees) and then also Sugar beach (cool rock formations) by taking the hiking path in between the coves or walking on the rocky outcrops at low tide. 5 completely different beaches in one day, all within walking (or kayaking) distance❤️. Monkeys and iguanas provided further entertainment during our walks:)

We were blown away by this hike at the volcano Rincon de la Vieja! So many different animals, plants and ecosystems to see in a 2 mile loop!

Peter and Mike made a new friend at Carpe Diem Cafe in Potrero!

Located in Guanacaste Province, right next to some of the region’s most popular destinations, is the unassuming town of Potrero. Driving through, you may
