Part surf town, part residential paradise, Playa Junquillal is one of those hard-to-find (and then, you’re-so-glad-you-did) places that offer a slice of the rural lifestyle while still close (enough) to all the amenities you need for daily life. Add to that great waves, a full-time residential spirit, and even greater value, and it’s easy to understand why Playa Junquillal’s name is often whispered in the hush-hush circles of those in the know. 

For those seeking a place that feels more home than vacation, Playa Junquillal offers a good balance of being close to the beach town action, while still staying far enough away that you won’t see much in the way of tourist throngs. The real estate market is small and properties sell quickly – especially because Playa Junquillal is one of the few places you can find Costa Rica’s rare, titled beachfront property.    

Prices start around $300,000 for beachfront lots and homesites and $500,000 for title beachfront single-family homes and villas. A growing luxury market starts at around $750,000.
