Buying a Home Near Playa Prieta

Prieta is the place for buyers who value privacy and shade. Trees come right down to the sand, the cove is protected, and the water is usually calm enough for snorkeling and swimming. Hiking paths and lookouts along the coast make it easy to spend a morning outdoors without getting in the car.

Because this is a low-density area, homes that combine an ocean view with an easy walk to the water are limited. When you compare properties, ask about the walking route to the beach, the slope of the lot and what shared amenities the community offers.
