For many people, the dream begins the same way. You’re standing on a ridge above Tamarindo, or maybe on a quiet beach near Playa Hermosa, and you can’t help but imagine it—a home here. Not a rental, not a hotel, but a space that belongs to you. The idea feels exciting, maybe even a little […]
It starts as a daydream. You’re sitting on a shaded terrace, maybe watching the Pacific waves, maybe listening to the quiet of the hills inland, and the thought drifts in: this could be home.
