Moore Costa Rica Thoughts: Our Pacifico Condo

The "River Pool" at Pacifico

Welcome to our Pacifico Penthouse in Paradise. The purpose of this blog entry is to introduce our home to those in Costa Rica or elsewhere who may be interested in a home exchange for a week or more. For more information about this gated community along with tons of photos, videos and descriptions go to www.Pacifico-CostaRica.com . There you can see the buildings, grounds and amenities that make living here so special.

We are in Playas del Coco, a very small town on the Northwest coast of Costa Rica where the beach is protected by the Pappagallo Peninsula. A village where fishing and tourism are king, Coco boasts one main street lined with restaurants, bars and souvenir shops. This is one of the few coastal villages in the Guanacaste province that offer amenities such as banks, grocery stores, and a wide array of professional services. In addition, there are numerous adventure trips for fishing, diving, zip lining, hiking, and sight seeing...just to name a few.

We enjoy a 1,200 sq/ft top floor unit with central air conditioning, one bedroom, one large bathroom with walk-in closet and a washer/dryer included. The kitchen is fully equipped with granite countertops, a center island/breakfast bar, side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, glass top stove, microwave, dish washer, disposal, clothes washer & dryer and loads of cabinet space. With the cookware and accessories in our kitchen, a gourmet chef would feel right at home.

There are flatscreen TV's with DVD players in the living room and bedroom and the unit includes a high speed, secure WiFi internet connection.

The extra large balcony includes a stainless steel barbeque grill, dining table and 4 chairs, and a complete living room set of love seat, 2 large matching chairs, coffee table and end tables along with indirect lighting to maximize your outdoor night time living and entertaining.

As you can see from the Pacifico website ( www.Pacifico-CostaRica.com ), the amenities are truly 5 star quality and the 24/7 security is the best around. The pools and landscaping on the grounds are incredibly beautiful and the Pacifico Beach Club is directly on the ocean with 2 pools, a gymnasium and fabulous restaurant and bar which features live entertainment on weekends.

Playas del Coco is only 25 minutes from the Daniel Oduber International Airport (LIR) just west of the city of Liberia, Costa Rica. For inquiries regarding a possible home exchange please email us with information about your situation at: email4Jim@Yahoo.com.
