Condos are the most popular entry point into Guanacaste real estate, and for good reason: gated communities with pools, on-site security, and homeowners' associations that handle the grounds make them easy to own from abroad and easy to rent when you are not here. Costa Rican condominiums are titled property registered under the national Condominium Law, so a foreign buyer owns the unit outright. Before you buy, ask for the HOA budget and reserve fund, the rental rules (most Gold Coast communities allow short-term rentals, but not all), and recent sales in the same building.
Playas del Coco is the largest and most complete beach town on Costa Rica's Gold Coast, and the one most expats end up choosing when they want a real town rather than a resort. It sits on a wide, sheltered bay about 25 to 30 minutes from Liberia's international airport, which means you can land at 2 PM and be at the beach bar by 3. Banks, supermarkets, pharmacies, a public clinic, hardware stores, and dozens of restaurants are all within a few minutes' drive, and the town has kept its Costa Rican character: fishing boats still come in at the main beach every morning.

Our current condos listings in Playas del Coco range from $209,000 to $420,000. Prices depend on ocean views, distance to the beach, and whether the property sits inside a gated community with a pool. Ask us for recent comparable sales before you make an offer.
They vary with the size of the community and what it maintains. Communities with large pools, 24-hour security, and gardens cost more per month than small buildings with a shared pool. Always ask for the current budget, the reserve fund balance, and whether any special assessments are planned before you make an offer.
In most Gold Coast gated communities, yes, and short-term rental income is a large part of why buyers choose condos here. A few communities restrict rentals or set minimum stays, so we confirm the rules in the condominium bylaws for every unit we show. Our property management team handles licensing, guest turnover, and pricing for owners who want a hands-off rental.
