Katy and Larry Benveniste

Recently arriving from Hawaii, we traded one tropical paradise for another, leaving Maui’s sunny beaches for the shimmering white sands and truly “endless summer” vibes of Tamarindo. 

After spending three unforgettable weeks exploring Costa Rica a few years ago, we fell in love with the Gold Coast, from Playa Hermosa down to Playa Avellana. Warm and welcoming, the local and cosmopolitan mix of people we met here made us feel comfortable. We knew then that we would eventually make Tamarindo our home. Great people, great food, great weather, and an eco-friendly environment— what’s not to love? Monkeys, toucans and sloths, plus whales, turtles, and jaguars, round out our enchanting new world.  

Your real estate needs

As members of the highly successful Coldwell Banker Tamarindo sales team, we look forward to the opportunity to serve and assist you with your real estate needs. 

We listen to you and work hard to make sure you find just the right property to fulfill your dreams. Wherever the next phase of your life will take you, we are here to support and guide you. From modest condos to mansions on the beach, it is our privilege to introduce you to all of these great venues, helping you find a property to call your own. Mortgage and financing options are available for many properties through an affiliated U.S.-based lender. 

Vacation rental opportunities abound here on our Gold Coast. These properties can be great investments, bringing income now and appreciation in the future. The bonus is that they can be wonderful family vacation venues, year-round, to escape from the winter cold or bask in the summer sun. 

If you are selling your property, it is our mission to obtain the very best price and terms, facilitating your transition to your next adventure. Ask us for a complimentary Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to confirm your property value, potential sale price, and estimated timeline for the process.

With over 30 years in his field, Larry, originally from Seattle, brings a wealth of sales and marketing experience in the automotive industry. Katy, from Los Gatos in California’s Silicon Valley, has over 30 years of real estate sales, leasing and vacation rental expertise. Together, we provide the highest level of customer care, dedicated to serving our clients with professionalism and attention to detail. 

We look forward to assisting you with a property purchase or sale. Contact us anytime, and come down and see us here on Costa Rica’s vibrant Gold Coast.
