Marina Real 231, Flamingo: Perfect Location

Flamingo occupies an ideal location along Costa Rica’s Gold Coast, within easy striking distance of a string of gorgeous beaches. The town itself sits on two beaches — Playa Potrero to the north and Playa Flamingo to the south, separated by the ritzy North Ridge peninsula.

Flamingo’s walkable downtown is an upscale mix of restaurants, bars, shops, tour offices, real estate agencies and a pharmacy. The outskirts of town feature a nice grocery and hardware store, two banks and other conveniences.

Drive north and you’ll discover the expat playgrounds of Surfside, Potrero and the Old World Mediterranean-style village of Las Catalinas. To the south is the quaint beachfront village of Brasilito, and not far away is the larger town of Huacas, with big grocery stores and 24/7 urgent medical care.

Flamingo is about a one-hour drive of the international airport in Liberia, which welcomes travelers from all over the world.

Choose your adventure

As much as you may enjoy lounging by the pool or lying on the beach, there’s also plenty of adventure to get your heart pumping.

Popular water sports include sportfishing, scuba diving, stand-up paddling, whitewater rafting, jet skiing and sunset cruises. Adventures by land include ziplining, ATV rentals, horseback riding and birdwatching.

You can also make a day of a trip to Rincón de La Vieja National Park, which features hot springs, geysers, fumaroles and bubbling mud pots. Or head to Barra Honda National Park, where you can explore a magnificent cave after roping in and descending a 51-foot ladder.

Flamingo is the perfect base for your next tropical adventure, and Marina Real 231 in Flamingo may be the ideal Costa Rica condo rental for you.

Flamingo is a high-end beachfront community notable for its dazzling ocean views and the beautiful, hilly peninsula that juts out into the Pacific, separating Playa Potrero from Playa Flamingo.
Flamingo is home to a wide array of stunning homes and vacation rentals, as well as humbler lodging options, and it has restaurants, grocery stores, banks and other conveniences.
A brand-new, state-of-the-art marina opened to the public in 2022, with slips for yachts and fishing boats, condos for rent and all kinds of shops and restaurants. Other major developments here include the 360 Splendor del Pacifico luxury condominiums on top of the North Ridge, the Margaritaville Beach Resort, and the upscale Mar Vista housing development, where there’s an excellent private school called La Paz.
Good restaurants in town include the Coco Loco, a beachfront eatery known for its coconut drinks and standout cuisine; Marie’s, a reliable standard with a long and enticing menu; Angelina’s, featuring fine Italian dining in an elegant environment; and several options at the Margaritaville, including the 5 O’Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill.
Flamingo was largely developed by foreigners, and it lacks the traditional Costa Rican downtown with a soccer field plaza, church and school. The heart of town is an upscale commercial plaza with stone steps, fountains, restaurants and shops. Farther away on the road to Brasilito, you’ll find smaller restaurants, hotels, banks, hardware stores and the Super Massai grocery store.
Flamingo is more or less the centerpiece of a beautiful coastline stretching from the Reserva Conchal resort in the south to the Las Catalinas resort in the north, with the more traditional Costa Rican towns of Brasilito and Potrero in between. Flamingo is within easy striking distance of several beaches, including Conchal, Flamingo, Potrero, Penca, Prieta, Pan de Azucar and Danta.
Our agents will be happy to assist you with renting a car, giving you the freedom to explore the area where you want, when you want. For short drives to nearby towns or beaches, golf carts are another popular mode of transportation. You can also rent a bicycle to ride around in town or beyond.

We can arrange transfers to and from the airport. Rental cars can also be delivered to your property at no additional cost, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenery as our private van drives you here from the airport.

Taxis are available but can be a bit hard to find. Many locals use buses to get around, though there are a limited number of routes and times of day when you can catch them. Private shuttles can be a great option for traveling to nearby destinations, and many tour companies offer transportation to and from the tour. Our information brochure will provide you with useful information on local transportation options and points of interest, as well as contact information for taxis and shuttles.
Special Places of Costa Rica is committed to protecting our properties and keeping up-to-date with short-term rental regulations, which is why you will be asked to complete our independent verification. Before your stay begins, you will need to verify your details with us to complete your booking. You will be contacted via email and/or text to complete the verification. You will also be given the choice between paying a refundable deposit or buying a non-refundable damage waiver. We suggest you buy the damage waiver as this protects you in case you cause accidental damage during a booking.
