Casa JolRay Junquillal

The main terrace at Casa JolRay, which really feels like a living room, is perched directly above a pristine beach with inescapable views of the Pacific directly in front of you. This is heaven.

In a more material sense, the home is one of few Costa Rica titled beachfront properties for sale in Guanacaste, and it's located in an extremely quiet - and idyllic - community called Playa Junquillal. The home has great access to amenities as it's about 40 minutes south of Tamarindo and just 1.25 hours from an international airport that adds more flights every year.

The home's design explains it all - the primary living space and terrace are elevated onto a second story so that your view of the ocean is indescribable. The water is down below you; whale watching is easy and walking out to do the local turtle patrols takes only a few dozen steps.

Its elevated ceilings and wide doors created incredible airflow through the interior, which is an open floor plan room with a kitchen and living areas for truly hosting people. This airy, breezy interior space is flanked on one side by the master suite and on the other by the two guest rooms - and both the master and one of the guest rooms have spectacular ocean views.

Built with an incredible foundation, the first level of the home consists of two enormous "bodegas" that are each large enough to accommodate a large vehicle. Either could be remodeled to create more living space. Thick reinforced concrete pillars and beams provide a superstructure for the home that has withstood the test of time - it was built with ideal durability for the beach.

Casa JolRay's current owners have replaced the roof in 2023 with a Decra stone coated steel with a 30-50-year life expectancy, one of many key upgrades that have added value. The home is sold fully furnished and ready for new owners to move in.

There are few comparable Guanacaste properties on the real estate market at the moment, given the rush of foreigners who seek this incredible lifestyle.
