Joel’s and Vida's Journey

Hi, I’m Joel Martino, a local real estate agent and property manager in the Guanacaste Region of Costa Rica. I was born and raised in Western Australia but fell in love with Costa Rica when I visited 21 years ago. Beyond the country, I also fell in love with a beautiful Costa Rican woman named Michelle who I’m now lucky to call my wife.

Michelle and I traveled around Costa Rica together in search of the perfect place to call home. We were looking for an area home to good schools, business opportunities, surf, beautiful scenery, and a strong sense of community. We found the Tamarindo region of Guanacaste ticked all the boxes and more.
We now have two beautiful children and have settled into the iconic Hacienda Pinilla development. Over the past decade, I have specialized in high-end property rentals and real estate within the resort community while enjoying the amazing life this area has to offer.

At Vida Pinilla, what began as a small, family-driven venture has blossomed into a thriving full-service vacation rental and real estate company. Thanks to our incredible team of dedicated professionals, we’re able to provide an unparalleled experience for guests from around the globe. Whether it’s hosting you in pristine homes or assisting with every detail to craft your ideal getaway, our team is here to ensure your vacation in this stunning paradise exceeds all expectations. We take pride in helping you discover and enjoy the incredible lifestyle that has enriched our lives and our community.
