Which towns does Adam work?

The Gold Coast he works runs from Tamarindo through Flamingo and Potrero, and the quieter beaches south. Each town on this page has its own guide.

How are condos, land, beachfront, and luxury split?

Condos are condominiums only. Land is lots only. Beachfront and ocean view are listings that say beachfront or oceanfront, or that are marked ocean view. Luxury on this site means a house or condo at $1.5 million or more. Expensive land stays on the land page.

Guanacaste real estate

Homes for sale on Guanacaste’s Gold Coast are not one market. Start with the town that matches how you want to spend a Tuesday.

Tamarindo

Walkable surf town, restaurants, and the Gold Coast hub.

Drive from Liberia (LIR) · 45–55 minutes

Playa Langosta

Quieter beach just south of town, larger lots, fewer scooters.

Drive from Liberia (LIR) · 50–60 minutes

Hacienda Pinilla

Gated golf and beach between Tamarindo and Playa Avellanas — lock-and-leave.

Drive from Liberia (LIR) · 55–70 minutes

Playa Grande

National-park beach, turtles, and a slower Gold Coast.

Drive from Liberia (LIR) · 50–60 minutes

Playa Avellanas

A dirt-road surf pocket with serious long-stay energy.

Drive from Liberia (LIR) · 70–85 minutes

Huacas

Inland value, bigger lots, and a straight shot to several beaches.

Portegolpe

Inland parcels and development land — space, water letters, and a longer view.
