Langosta Beach, Costa Rica

Crystal Sands in Langosta Beach is located in the booming Guanacaste region of Central America. A boutique six-story project consisting of 20 large villas directly on the beach, Crystal Sands has announced Phase 1 sales, with completion of the entire project slated for January 2009.

As waterfront building sites grow few and far between in Costa Rica, Crystal Sands’ location on Millionaire’s Row is near the scenic beach. There is also access to the nearby surf town of Tamarindo, that features many of the adventure and activities Costa Rica is renowned for.

All villas at Crystal Sands have sweeping oceanfront views from multiple terraces, and all properties are fully titled. The villas feature natural travertine stone floors throughout, including terraces and bathrooms. There are coffered 10-foot ceilings, and the gourmet kitchens have slab granite countertops and European cabinetry. The bathrooms feature natural stone tile showers and Kohler brushed nickel fixtures.

Crystal Sands has an expansive common area that includes a pool, spa and outdoor barbecue with a covered dining area. There are also outdoor showers as you enter from the beach and private underground parking and storage for each villa.

Prices start in the $800,000s for the first phase, and sizes run from 2,600 to nearly 5,000 square feet for two-story penthouses. Crystal Sands features 180-degree views of oceanfront property, an on-site concierge and access to restaurants, boutiques and shopping, all surrounded by the surfing, sport fishing, diving, golf and eco-adventure of Costa Rica.
