Casa Flores, Flamingo
4-Bedroom Cliffside Home with Pool on Secluded Beach

Casa Flores on Flamingo’s North Ridge is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath beauty on a hillside over a secluded beach. Large windows and a vaulted roof create an airy, bright feeling, with green tropical trees outside the windows.  The tastefully furnished, air-conditioned living room features modern art and a widescreen TV.  The kitchen is fully equipped, with stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops and bar, and white cabinets.

The master bedroom, on the same level as the living room and kitchen, features plush bedding, air conditioning and a TV. The other three bedrooms are downstairs, including a second master bedroom that opens on the deck of the swimming pool.  Another guest bedroom also opens on this deck, where you can relax in lounge chairs and soak up the sunshine.

The pool deck can also be accessed from the exterior of the house down a garden path.  Among the home’s most unusual features is a stairway that leads from the pool deck down to a secluded beach where very few people have access.

Be advised that because of its cliffside location, Casa Flores is not very suitable for children under 7, or for anyone who has difficulty climbing stairs.

Venturing out from Casa Flores, Flamingo

Playa Flamingo is one of the prettiest beach towns in all of Costa Rica, with a stunning seascape full of pretty islets and two hilly peninsulas, including the North Ridge, where Casa Flores is located.

Flamingo actually has two beaches — Playa Potrero and Playa Flamingo — and it’s about a four-block walk from one to the other. The small downtown area has several restaurants, a grocery store, a pharmacy and other shops, while the other side of the main road consists entirely of protected mangroves.

A world-class marina is currently under construction in Flamingo, which is already well-known for water sports including fishing, scuba diving and sunset cruises with snorkeling. Adventure tours available nearby include ziplining, horseback riding, ATV rentals, wildlife sanctuaries and turtle tours.

For a large family or group of friends, Casa Flores in Flamingo sleeps eight and makes an ideal base to explore Costa Rica’s Gold Coast.
