22 listings from $185,000 to $2,600,000
From ocean-view estates in Coco Bay and Hacienda Pinilla to two-bedroom homes in Costa Rican neighborhoods and new construction in Curubandé, houses on the Gold Coast cover every budget. Playas del Coco has the most inventory, and the inland communities offer the most land for the money.
Single-family homes on the Gold Coast range from modest two-bedroom houses in Costa Rican neighborhoods to ocean-view estates in gated communities like Coco Bay Estates and Pacifico. The essentials to check on any house here are the water letter (carta de agua) proving a legal connection, the registered survey (plano catastrado) matching the fences on the ground, the municipal land-use permit (uso de suelo), and the build quality of the roof and plumbing, since the dry season sun and the rainy season storms are both hard on a house. Newer gated communities offer paved roads, security, and underground utilities; older neighborhoods offer larger lots and lower prices.

Then a physical inspection focused on the roof, plumbing, electrical, and drainage. Your attorney handles the paperwork; we walk the property with you and point out what to ask.
Yes, especially three- and four-bedroom homes with private pools and ocean views, which are in short supply for family and group travel. They command higher nightly rates than condos, though occupancy is more seasonal. We manage several and can share real figures.
