Dreaming of the Coast? These Luxury Waterfront Properties Prove Coastal Living Can Still Be Attainable
From Costa Rica’s rainforested hills to the white sands of Jamaica and the yacht-lined canals of South Florida, these four coastal estates prove you don’t have to spend eight figures to live in the lap of luxury. Each offers its own take on the ultimate coastal lifestyle — and all are priced under $6 million.
Costa Rica
Perched in Playa Hermosa's exclusive Hermosa Retreat and spread over 66,000 square meters, the Villa Cosara estate features two private residences — a main house and guest house, each with its own pool — plus panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean’s famed Whale’s Tail formation and surrounding rainforest. As listing agent Daveed Hallander notes, the property is just five minutes from the highway yet feels worlds away, surrounded by old-growth rainforest dotted with majestic trees. Extensive hiking trails and abundant wildlife create a private wonderland for nature enthusiasts — pura vida living at its finest. "Expansive land surrounding Villa Cosara is not just a scenic backdrop but filled with potential," he adds. "Multiple homesites are ready for new developments, providing opportunities for expansion or investment."

Jamaica
Set in Montego Bay’s prestigious Spring Farm neighborhood, Tradewinds is a fully renovated five-bedroom contemporary villa designed for island living at its most luxurious. The main house offers three en suite bedrooms and sweeping terraces, while the detached poolside cottage adds two more suites with outdoor showers. Infinity-edge pool, garden yoga deck, and uninterrupted sea views complete the scene. Half Moon Golf Club and resort amenities are a short stroll away; the Sangster International Airport is just 10 minutes from your front door.
Mexico
Villa Mis Rocas – Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Anchored into the granite cliffs of the Sierra Madre, Villa Mis Rocas offers 13,000 square feet of cliffside grandeur. The nine-bedroom, 12.5-bath oceanfront estate cascades over six levels, with vaulted ceilings, nine terraces, an infinity pool, and a private pavilion at the water’s edge. A private chef, full staff, and elevator access make it a turnkey escape. It’s a rare combination of scale, service, and scenery along Puerto Vallarta’s dramatic coastline.
