del Pacifico - between Jaco and Quepos in Costa Rica. Homes, condos and lots.

Choosing a vacation home or a retirement home is all about lifestyle. You can read the brochures, and you can tour a property for an hour, but how do you know what it would really be like to live there? Del Pacifico wants you to find out. At various times during the year, they host prospective buyers of Costa Rica condos, lots and single family homes at their Esterillos Este development on the shores of the Pacific coast in Costa Rica.

Fly in and they’ll do the rest. You’ll stay in one of the condos – you can see the quality, hear the sound conditioning, try out the plumbing. From an early morning coffee on your balcony, listening to the birds and watching the countryside change as the sun rises to cocktails and dinner by the pool or on the beach – you’ll feel what it’s like. They even take you grocery shopping! You’ll see the entire development, by horseback if you prefer that to a van. No hard sales pitch – just a quick overview of what’s there and how it came about. Then it’s up to you to taste the lifestyle. One great benefit is meeting people who have already bought there, as well as other prospective owners – you’ll really feel part of the diverse community.

The next gathering is January 14th – 18th, 2010. Contact The Simms Team for more information – and/or scroll down the left side and click on the direct link to del Pacifico. Try it – you might like it!

Bay Point condo balcony

One of my favorite condo projects in Guanacaste Costa Rica is Bay Point, a small condo complex in the Vistas del Pacifico development of Playa Panama. We saw an unfurnished first floor unit in January, and it sold soon after; we saw a second (top) floor furnished unit in early July, and it also sold soon after. Both were in the $400,000s. The gated development of Vistas del Pacifico is also the location of my favorite Costa Rica house, which also sold soon after I saw it. The neighborhood is on the side of a mountain overlooking the Papagayo Peninsula, with sunsets over the Pacific. The condos have quality construction, open floor plans, and love of light. Accents include tray ceilings, recessed lighting, travertine flooring, natural stone accents, arched entryways, and balconies or patios. There’s a pool just for the condos, as well as a large infinity edge community pool for the use of both the homes and the condos. It’s 20 minutes by car from Liberia International Airport, 5 minutes from the beaches, and 15 minutes from Playas del Coco.

The Papagayo Peninsula is the home of the Four Seasons resort and the Marina Papagayo. There are lots of real estate opportunities both on the peninsula and near it. You do want to have your own representation, so please contact The Simms Team and we’ll introduce you to a trusted colleague in Costa Rica near the Papagayo Peninsula.
