This apartment for sale in Jacó puts two bedrooms and a shared pool a short walk or bike ride from the beach, in a gated Garabito community. At 50 m² on a single level, it is a compact two-bedroom, one-bathroom home built in 2006 and kept in good condition. It suits buyers who want a low-effort second home on Costa Rica's Central Pacific coast, with surf, restaurants and supermarkets close by.

The kitchen is functional and ready to use, whether you cook for a weekend or a few months.
The plot is also 50 m², so there is no private garden to look after. What you get instead are the landscaped common areas of the condominium. For an owner who lives abroad most of the year, that is a sensible trade.
