Casita Dorado is a unique ocean-view property located within the prestigious gated Mar Vista community in Playa Flamingo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Combining immediate rental income, development flexibility, and an expansive private homesite, this property presents an exceptional opportunity in one of Costa Rica’s most sought-after coastal markets.
Set on a spacious 5,937 m² parcel, the property features a charming 2-bedroom casita currently operating as a successful Airbnb rental, generating consistent short-term income. Designed to embrace Costa Rica’s tropical lifestyle, the home prioritizes natural light, airflow, and seamless indoor-outdoor living, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere surrounded by lush tropical scenery.
The true long-term value of Casita Dorado lies in the land itself.

As an income-producing property in Playa Flamingo, Casita Dorado allows buyers to enjoy multiple ownership strategies. Owners can continue operating the existing casita as a profitable vacation rental while planning future expansion or redevelopment over time. This phased approach to ownership has become increasingly desirable among buyers seeking both lifestyle enjoyment and long-term investment value within established gated communities.
Residents of Mar Vista enjoy access to premium resort-style amenities, including a clubhouse, infinity-edge pool, restaurant, fitness center, yoga palapa, hiking and biking trails, as well as tennis and pickleball courts. The community also offers paved roads, security, and convenient access to nearby beaches, with several of Guanacaste’s most beautiful beaches located just minutes away.
Combining ocean and mountain views, existing rental income, development readiness, and access to luxury community amenities, Casita Dorado represents a rare opportunity to secure a versatile property with both immediate usability and exceptional future potential in Playa Flamingo.
