About the area
Brasilito and the northern Pacific coast.
Brasilito holds a special place in Ron’s story. It is where he purchased his first Guanacaste property more than 20 years ago—and where a real estate investment became a lasting connection to Costa Rica.
The surrounding coast offers a remarkable range of settings: established beach towns, residential communities, marina life, surf culture, protected natural areas, and open land with development potential. Each place has its own rhythm, and understanding those differences is an important part of choosing well.
Dry season and green season
Guanacaste changes beautifully through the year—from sun-filled dry months to the vivid landscapes and afternoon rains of green season.
Context matters
Road access, water, services, terrain, and neighborhood character can vary. Ron helps buyers understand the complete opportunity behind a property.

Life in Guanacaste
The coast beyond the property.
The northern Pacific is defined as much by its experiences as its real estate. These are some of the elements that shape daily life and make the region feel like home.
Beaches, sailing, and sport fishing
The Pacific shapes the rhythm here, whether that means an early swim, time on the water, a sunset walk, or simply living within sight of the coast.
Dry tropical forest and wildlife
Guanacaste’s landscape is distinctive: sun-warmed hills, tropical forest, flowering trees, and regular encounters with monkeys, iguanas, and coastal birds.
Markets, restaurants, and local connections
Beachfront dining, neighborhood favorites, fresh produce, and familiar faces create a lifestyle that feels both relaxed and connected.
Surfing, trails, and open-air living
Life naturally moves outdoors, with opportunities to surf, hike, explore inland landscapes, and make the most of the region’s year-round warmth.
