Luxury here is measured in meters to the water.
Beachfront in Guanacaste is finite by law: the first fifty meters belong to the nation, and what sits behind them is a fixed supply that grows more contested every season.
Our work is separating true oceanfront from marketing oceanfront — verifying title, concession status and build rights before a property earns a place in the portfolio.

We saw eleven 'oceanfront' properties with three agencies. This team was the only one that told us which four actually were.

Before you enquire
Questions of consequence.
Can foreigners own beachfront property in Costa Rica?
Titled property behind the Maritime Zone: yes, 100%, same rights as citizens. Within the 200-meter Maritime Zone, land is concession-based with foreign-ownership limits — structured correctly (trust or qualifying corporation), foreigners hold it securely. We verify the structure before you ever see the listing.
What does true oceanfront actually cost?
As of 2026: titled oceanfront lots from roughly $400K in Potrero to $2M+ on Flamingo's ridges; beachfront condos $450K–$1.2M; clifftop villas $900K–$5M+. 'Ocean view' costs 30–50% less than 'oceanfront' — one reason listings blur the terms.
Is beachfront a sound rental investment?
The coast's premium inventory runs 60–75% occupancy at the highest nightly rates in the country. Net yields of 5–8% are realistic for professionally managed properties — and beachfront holds value in down cycles when inland inventory softens.
How do private showings work?
We build one itinerary across the towns that fit your brief — typically two days, six to ten properties, with title status pre-verified. You fly in once and see only what's worth seeing.
