Playa Hermosa Costa Rica real estate in the New York Times

Playa Hermosa Costa Rica real estate has been getting some very good press lately.  Imagine Playa Hermosa in the New York Times.

The most recent feature on Playa Hermosa in Costa Rica was an article in the New York Times featuring one of our exclusive listings in Monte Paraiso called The Lighthouse. The article was written by Kevin Brass, a feature writer for the New York Times who has written various articles about our area and Costa Rica, so he knows what he is talking about.

Good things come in 3’s – the second piece of good press was an HGTV episode of “Beachfront Bargain Hunt” where a couple searched high and low for their own slice of beach paradise and found it in our beloved little Playa Hermosa. The first running of the episode was September 27th and the second airing is September 28th, 2015. Here is the link to the episode guide.

To top it off House Hunters International is filming a future episode in Playa Hermosa as we speak at a couple of our exclusive listings in Playa Hermosa.  House Hunters will not allow us to disclose the homes until they air later in the year so stay tuned.

The established press has finally gotten back around again to talking about our slice of heaven.  Get your little slice before it is too late…
