Things are heating up in Playas del Coco - Business Opportunities about to Boom!

Click here to read an interesting article on business growth for the Coco area.  If these savy business people see the market improving now might be the time you want to buy that investment property or vacation condo or whatever!  We have some great business opportunities and some great commercial land for sale in this area.  I have a great property just minutes from down town with an area of 1.75 hectares (4.31 acres) for only $549,000 - the owner is motivated so make an offer.  This Coco Development Parcel has a lot of potential.  Click on the link to see this property.  Contact me at hgdemars@gmail.com for more information.

Azul Paraiso Condos - Now Ready to Sell!

Friday October 25 (Happy Birthday Donna) I went with an associate out to look at the Azul Paraiso Condos which are located south of Playa Ocotal and overlooking Bahia Pez Vela and other ocean views.  These units were built 5 years ago and were move in ready when the Coco Water Trust issues hit the fan and they could not close on any of the units.  So the condos have sat there for 5 years BUT the developer to his credit has maintained this units in like new condition!  These are spectacular condos with the finest in finishes and each condo has an incredible view.  Visit their website to see the quality of construction which is second to none.  These are the nicest condos I have seen and they should be as prices start at $499,000 for a two bedroom but believe me these are the finest 2 bedrooms you will see.  The project is out there about 15 minutes from Coco and the setting is tranquil and beautiful.  While the units sat vacant the developer spent a lot of money keeping them looking new and they look like they just came out of the gift box!  Each set of condos has its own infinity pool with a great view.  There are 2, 3 and 4 bedroom condos available.  Certainly waiting this long shows the developer is well financed and very dedicated to his project.  Drop me line if you would like more information hgdemars@gmail.com

Whats in a name in a small country like Costa Rica?

Costa Rica is the biggest small country you will ever visit given the terrain and condition of the roads from very good  to yikes!  One thing to consider when visiting is to be sure you know where you are going!!!!  We had clients book a condo wtih us in Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste and they were pleased as can be with the unit  they rented on line.  However when they did not make the appointment for checking in, we had to track them down.  We finally got in touch with them in Playa Hermosa near Jaco in the province of Puntarenas about 200 kilometers from our location in Guancaste.  Our Playa Hermosa is a quiet tranquil family beach, Playa Hermosa near Jaco is  wild and crazy surfing beach and these people were  surfers so they were a little upset with their planning:-(   They had not checked into the details of the name!  In the end it all worked out as they made the trek up North and then had a great time at the nearby surf beaches of Tamarindo, Avellana and Playa Grande so all was not lost.  So be sure to check out the name and get the location of the town, beach or whatever.  There are three Playa Hermosas in Costa Rica, numerous Sardinals, a ton of San Jorges, San Isidros and other names so be sure to do your homework.  But in the end, regardless of where you go you will enjoy yourself and leave paradise with lots of good memories even if you to the wrong beach.  Pura Vida!
