Casa Mariposa • Garden Hideaway 5 Min from Beach
Welcome to Casa Mariposa, a colorful 2-bedroom, 2-bath home in Playa Chiquita, surrounded by tropical gardens that attract butterflies and wildlife. Designed with an open layout and privacy in mind, it’s perfect for couples, friends, or small families.
The two bedrooms sit on opposite ends of the house, each with fans, closets, and windows that open to the gardens. The master bedroom has its own bathroom with a bathtub, while the second bedroom also has a private bathroom with a shower.
The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, oven, fridge, blender, rice cooker, and coffee maker, and you’ll also have a washer and dryer for your stay. The open living and dining space flows onto the terrace and garden, making it easy to enjoy the outdoors.
The property includes private parking and sits in a quiet Playa Chiquita neighborhood, just 400 meters from the beach. Restaurants, small shops, and the well-known El Duende Gourmet are right down the road.
Casa Mariposa is simple, cozy, and close to everything, the kind of place where you’ll feel at home in Costa Rica’s Caribbean.

Fantastisch huis
Het huis was heerlijk. Twee grote fijne slaapkamers, twee douches/ badkamer en een grote keuken met vers water unit. Twee gebouwtjes verbonden door grote loggia overdekt waar je heerlijk kan zitten.Contact met de eigenaar super fijn.Heerlijke tuin rondom,helemaal vrij liggend. Enige dat miste waren twee lekkere stoelen . De stoelen waren niet comfortabel genoeg om lang te zitten . Verder was t jammer dat er veel lawaai rondom was van diverse huizen die verbouwd werden echt de hele dag door en muziek uit diverse huizen rondom.We hebben een heerlijke week gehad. Grote tuin rondom en helemaal vrij liggend.
