Casa Teja, 12 Paseo del Mar

To get any closer to the beach than Casa Teja, you would need to spread your towel on the sand. This beautiful 3-bedroom home with sleeping den is able to accommodate up to 8 guests. The property sits oceanfront with gorgeous, unobstructed views from top to bottom.

The main level uniquely features Euromat doors which can convert the entire first floor into an open air space with ocean cross breezes or partitioned area with air conditioned comfort. The open floor plan takes full advantage of the seaside porch, including a gourmet kitchen, living room, covered and open-air breakfast and patio expanse, and a stunning infinity-edged lap pool.

Hammocks, rockers and a chaise lounge dot the second floor's wraparound ocean view porch -- ideal for relaxing, reading, working (wi-fi throughout) or just drifting off to the soothing sounds of the surf.

Tastefully decorated with colorful Cuban tile and beautiful artwork, Casa Teja accommodates up to 8 guests. The three elegant upstairs bedrooms (king, queen, full) are paired with full baths. The cozy downstairs den (day bed and trundle) is ideal for children, with a half bath around the corner.

Looking for time alone with family and friends? Spend hours at the ocean without even leaving the house. Sip coffee and enjoy breakfast in Casa Teja's arch-lined loggia as the waves roll in, swim laps beneath the pool fountains overhead, lounge in the sun or shade, crank up the outdoor gas grill and, at day's end, watch a glorious sunset.

Feeling social and adventurous? Casa Teja is ideally located in the heart of the town's activities. Walk just five doors down to dine and drink at the beachside Limonada, or one door farther to Pura Vida Ride (PVR) outdoor center, an outfitters paradise with great shopping too. Or walk seven doors the other way and spend the morning or afternoon - or all day - at the beach club complete with air-conditioned gym and epicurean poolside food and beverage services. And, of course, there's always the beach!

At Las Catalinas you will be truly pampered. Casa Teja's House Mom prepares breakfasts in the mornings and smoothies during the day. And no worries about laundry and cleaning.  She's got it covered. The Las Catalinas Concierge staff can handle your every need before and during your stay: transportation from the airport or car rentals, groceries, spa treatments, restaurant and tour reservations, even private chefs. You name it!

So prepare to kick back and relax. It's pura vida, as they say down here. Pure life.
