Very nice property

6 of us stayed here for 2 nights, we wished we spent another day in the Playa Flamingo area. This condo was a bit out of the more crowded touristy district which worked well for us, it was a short drive or Uber to bars, sodas and restaurants. The view was very nice, but not as spectacular as it is from condos higher up in the development, next time I might try and get a condo at the upper level. However, the pool was amazing and that's where we spent our time. I've been to the coast in many places and the view (especially the sunset view) from the infinity pool was as pretty as I have seen anywhere. Overall we were very pleased with the cleanliness and layout and would definitely stay here again.

Spectacular View. Great Service

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was our good fortune to end up at Casa Margarita as it was by accident. Another property that we had booked got sold and removed from the rental pool. Krain facilitated an upgrade to this beautiful property. The view is amazing. The breezes made sun bathing pleasant at any time of day. The caretakers; who lived on the property, were always available but out of sight unless needed. They even met us at our 1am arrival! The next morning our consierge Tony arrived with some fresh empanadas and some requested groceries. Our stay at Casa Margarita was a wonderful experience; setting a high bar for subsequent trips.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Villa 9 is a great place to stay. We really enjoyed everything about this villa, close to everything where you can go for a walk or drive to Potrero town or Las Catalinas. We really enjoyed our walks during the morning all the way up the hills till The Catalinas. We saw different animals, view is amazing and it was a safe to walk on Playa Prieta and Penca. Security and landscape guys very helpful people. Thank you to Roy (Krain's professional) for all his help with the AC that had a small problem. We really liked Krain services, their prompt responses and we will come back with our kids soon.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved everything about this condo. Very clean place well stocked kitchen, beach chairs, pool floaty. Balcony had great furniture and fantastic sunsets, we spent most of our time out there. Krain was very helpful and attentive to any needs or requests. Pool was clean and comfortable. Only suggestion for this place would be a booklet to guide us to best places to go to; ie Thursday market, Friday dinners at Conchilla, Perlas, Conchal beach. So much to do in that area.will definitely be back.. Mary-Jo

Playa Potrero Dream

Villas Catalinas is located in a quiet and beautiful spot in Playa Potrero. It is within 10 minutes of walking distance to the local beach and is a 5 minute drive to the local town where there are a few restaurants and a super for purchasing groceries such as a limited selection of vegetables and fresh eggs. The rooms and open areas are well decorated and clean. The only staff we interacted with were the security guards at the gate who were super friendly and kept us safe during our stay. The infinity pool is a priceless view of the western coast and the Pacific ocean. You will enjoy your stay here.

Wonderful stay!

The unit, the view and the facilities were all as pictured. It really was about the view and this unit did not disappoint! The unit is tastefully decorated with everything you could possibly need. Krain, the managing real estate agency was thorough, prompt and professional in their communications. Every meal we ate out at one of the nearby restaurants was delicous and we enjoyed the beaches. Would not hesitate to return again

Beatiful sunsets

We very much enjoyed our stay in this home, was very clean and well equipped, although it would have been nice to have more then one little package of coffee for use. The views from the bedroom and patios were awesome and the sunset from the pool was amazing.
