Las Catalinas is a master-planned Mediterranean-style town on the beach. You buy into a product: architecture rules, HOA, and a rental program that actually exists.
If you want car-light living, hiking trails from your door, and a town square that does not depend on Tamarindo traffic, Catalinas is the cleanest version of that idea on this coast. Condos and townhomes dominate; a few custom homes sit above. Understand HOA dues, rental restrictions, and what “ocean view” means from the actual unit — not the rooftop party deck. Adam works shared listings here when the numbers and the HOA docs hold up, and he will tell you when a cheaper house in Playa Langosta is the better life.
