Private 1-Bedroom Condo Above Playa Blanca — The Closest You Can Buy to the Beach, $199,000

Published September 24, 2026 · Jaco Beach Chef

Every so often a piece of real estate comes along that you simply can't replace — and this is one of them. This is a private one-bedroom condo sitting directly above Playa Blanca in a gated Punta Leona community, and it is quite literally the closest piece of real estate you can buy to one of the most beautiful white-sand beaches on the Central Pacific coast. If you've been searching for the best properties near Jaco Beach, you won't find anything closer to the sand than this. I sell real estate right here on the coast, and at www.jacobeachchef.com I help visitors find both incredible food and standout Jaco Beach real estate. Let me show you why this condo is so special.

You literally can't get any closer to Playa Blanca

Playa Blanca is postcard-perfect — soft pale sand, calm turquoise water, and enough shade from the forest behind it for long, lazy afternoons. Plenty of people dream of owning near it, but almost no one can own above it. This condo does exactly that: it's the absolute closest real estate that can be purchased to Playa Blanca. You wake up to the sound of the waves, step out to sweeping ocean and headland views, and you're on the sand in minutes. For buyers comparing Punta Leona real estate, that kind of front-row position is as rare as it gets.

A private pool right over the ocean

The gated community has a private pool perched right over the ocean — imagine swimming with the Pacific stretched out in front of you, the forest and headlands wrapping around the cove. It's the kind of setting people fly across the world to experience on vacation, and here it's simply part of daily life. Quiet, secure, and beautifully kept, this is the sort of spot that makes real estate Jacó buyers fall in love the moment they see it.

A private staircase straight down to the sand

Beyond the pool, the community has its own private staircase leading straight down to the beach. No long drive, no hunting for parking, no crowded public access — just your own path from home to the water. That combination of a gated community, a pool over the ocean, and private beach access is exactly what makes this one of the best places to buy near Jaco Beach, and why it stands apart from almost anything else on the market.

Close to everything, yet a world away

As private and peaceful as it feels, you're still just a short drive from all of Jacó's restaurants, shops, and services. Punta Leona is a secure, gated nature resort community full of wildlife — scarlet macaws, monkeys, and sloths are part of the scenery — and it's calmer, cleaner, and greener than the busy heart of Jacó. Whether you want a vacation home, a rental investment, or a full-time move to the coast, this condo gives you the best of both worlds.
