Hal, Corinne and their two children are from the Denver area and had been dreaming of owning a vacation property in Costa Rica for years.  

After discovering that Jaco was the right fit for them and their family they decided to purchase a beachfront condo a couple of years ago.  Since then they have been enjoying their vacations here in Jaco, and renting their condo out condo as vacation rental when they are away.

What made you choose to own in the Jaco area?

It was really a combination of factors.  Jaco is easy to get to at only a little over an hour from the San Jose airport.

Jaco is centrally located and easy to reach many of the prime areas in Costa Rica like Monteverde, the Osa Peninsula, and Arenal. 

Perhaps most importantly, we wanted a true beachfront property and Jaco is one of the few places in Costa Rica where you can get fee simple title on the beach without restrictions.

What was the most important part or your criteria in your search for property in Jaco?

We really wanted several things, a beachfront property at a good value and a nice quality finish in a secure setting.

What is your favorite part of Jaco?

We love that it’s a real town with the amenities to make our visits easy, entertaining, and comfortable. 

From nice restaurants to spa services to surfing and ziplining, to hardware stores and home décor, Jaco has all the amenities you need.  We also love that we see toucans, scarlet macaws and iguanas right out the front door.  

With two small children, I can assume you feel Jaco is good for families?

Absolutely.  I think a lot of people really have the wrong perception of Jaco.  It might be a bit different after midnight, but thats pretty normal in most towns and cities.  We feel completely safe and like that there is a diverse mix of both Amercian and Costa Rican families.  

The one activity, restaurant or experience that you’d recommend is a must to someone visiting the Jaco area?

Boy, that’s a hard one because there are so many great things to do and see. You pretty much have to try the ziplining, eat at a soda, try the surfing, and visit the nearby National Parks……. and have a cup of the fantastic coffee.

What would you recommend for anyone looking to purchase property in Costa Rica?

Buying property in a foreign country can be a bit intimidating but with the right help and someone that you can trust, its really not as daunting as it may seem. 

David was that person for us.  He made it very simple, helped us understand what was really a good value, and walked us through the purchase and ownership issues in Costa RIca. 

Be logical in your purchase, just as you would in the US.  Be careful of buying a property that is promised to built or developed in the future. 

We would definitely recommend getting your own independent Costa Rican attorney to give you piece of mind that you are getting good legal representation in making a purchase.  It was one of the best decisions we ever made and we have no regrets.
