House Hunting in Costa Rica: A Slice of Oceanside Paradise for $1.1 Million
Beloved as a haven for tourists, Costa Rica’s housing market has been hit hard in this year of limited travel, with damaging effects rippling out to some, but not all, of its provinces.
$1.15 MILLION
This modern three-bedroom home sits on a hillside in Dominical, a beach town in Puntarenas province, on the southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Built in 2016, the 3,500-square-foot house is oriented to maximize ocean views, with sliding glass walls in every room.
The mountainous area, known as Escaleras, “we sometimes refer to as the Hollywood Hills it’s home to some of the most amazing real estate in the area,” said Tim Fenton, president of Blue Zone Realty International, which has the listing. “The mountains are very close to the sea, so these homes are perched front row, overlooking the ocean.”
NHS chiefs say the vaccination centres have been set up to allow as many people as possible to receive their vaccine safely and efficiently.
A spokesman added: “Anyone unable to leave their home will receive the vaccine at home, but where an eligible person is invited to attend their local vaccination centre and can, we would urge them to do so.
The younger Mr Fenton said his parents, a retired Ipswich GP and nurse, have been “very happy” at Oak House and their care is excellent.
But when it comes to the jabs, he also fears for other residents there, adding: “There are dozens of people due a vaccine in Oak House. They shouldn’t all be made to travel independently.”
