Discover carefully selected homes, land, and investment opportunities from Cahuita to Manzanillo. At One Caribe, we believe buying real estate begins with understanding the area. Our role is to provide honest local guidance, personalized service, and the insight you need to make a confident decision.
For more than 27 years, I’ve helped buyers from around the world purchase real estate in Costa Rica. Today, my focus is exclusively on Costa Rica’s South Caribbean, from Cahuita to Manzanillo.
Every client has different goals. Some are looking for a family home, others for a retirement property, an investment, or land to build something of their own. My role is to listen first, understand what matters most to you, and help you find the property that truly fits your vision.
There is never pressure.
Just honest advice, local knowledge, and a commitment to helping you make a confident decision.
One of the things I enjoy most about helping buyers is introducing them to the different communities that make up Costa Rica’s South Caribbean.
Although the distances are short, each area has its own personality, pace of life, and character. A property that feels perfect in one community may not be the right fit in another.
Understanding those differences is one of the most valuable parts of the buying process, and it’s where local knowledge makes all the difference.

Relaxed, authentic, and rich in Caribbean history, Cahuita offers one of the best balances between lifestyle, convenience, and value on Costa Rica’s South Caribbean. Essential services, a welcoming community, and Cahuita National Park are all part of everyday life.
Cahuita is one of the few places where you don’t have to choose between convenience and tranquility. It continues to offer excellent long-term value while preserving the authentic Caribbean character that makes it so special.
Just north of Puerto Viejo, Playa Negra combines a relaxed residential atmosphere with one of the area’s longest beaches. It’s close enough to enjoy everything Puerto Viejo has to offer while offering a quieter place to call home.
Playa Negra continues to grow steadily without losing its laid-back character. It’s an excellent option for buyers who want convenience without being in the center of town.
Puerto Viejo is the vibrant heart of Costa Rica’s South Caribbean. Its unique blend of Caribbean culture, international influences, restaurants, cafés, surfing, shopping, and nightlife creates an energy unlike anywhere else in the country.
Many buyers are initially drawn to Puerto Viejo, but after exploring the surrounding communities, they often discover that living just a few minutes away offers the balance they’re looking for.
Perfectly positioned between Puerto Viejo and Playa Chiquita, Cocles offers a wonderful balance of convenience and natural beauty. It’s home to one of the area’s most popular beaches, excellent surfing, lush tropical surroundings, and easy access to restaurants, cafés, and everyday services.
Cocles is one of the South Caribbean’s most dynamic markets because of its location and growing popularity. As with many parts of the region, every property is unique. Understanding zoning, title, and other local considerations is an important part of the buying process, and I’m always happy to walk buyers through those details before they make a decision.
Surrounded by tropical jungle and beautiful beaches, Playa Chiquita offers a peaceful residential setting while remaining just minutes from Puerto Viejo. It’s home to the One Caribe office and one of the communities I know best.
Playa Chiquita offers a wonderful balance between privacy, nature, and convenience. It’s one of the communities I most often recommend to buyers looking for a full-time home on the South Caribbean.
Known for its turquoise waters, white sand beaches, and protected rainforest, Punta Uva is one of Costa Rica’s most iconic Caribbean destinations. Its natural beauty continues to attract visitors and homeowners from around the world.
Punta Uva remains one of the South Caribbean’s most desirable communities. Thoughtful development has helped preserve the natural beauty that makes this area so unique.
Located beside the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge, Manzanillo offers an extraordinary connection to nature, privacy, and one of the most peaceful environments on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast.
Manzanillo isn’t for everyone, and that’s exactly why so many people fall in love with it. If you’re looking to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the Caribbean at its most authentic, it’s hard to imagine a better place.
Every buyer is looking for something different. These featured properties offer a glimpse of the exceptional homes, land, investment opportunities, and lifestyle properties currently available across Costa Rica’s South Caribbean.
If you’re in the area, come say hello! Our doors are open in Playa Chiquita, drop by for a cup of coffee 
, real estate insights, and genuine conversation about life and opportunities on the Caribbean coast. No pressure, no rush, just good company and honest guidance.
Located in the heart of Playa Chiquita, steps from the beach. We’re open Monday to Saturday, from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm.
Buying real estate is a personal decision, and every buyer’s journey is different.

Yes. Foreign buyers enjoy the same ownership rights as Costa Rican citizens when purchasing titled property.
Most inland properties are fully titled, while many beachfront properties fall within Costa Rica’s Maritime Zone and are held under concession. I’ll explain the differences and help you determine which option best fits your goals.
Financing options are available in some situations, including owner financing on selected properties. I’ll be happy to discuss the possibilities based on your needs.
Most transactions are completed within a few weeks, depending on due diligence, financing, and the closing process.
Every community has its own personality. After learning about your lifestyle, budget, and goals, I’ll help you narrow down the areas that are the best fit for you.
Simply reach out by WhatsApp, email, or schedule a call. We’ll start with a conversation and take it from there.
