Welcome to Horizon Pacific, your premier Property Management and Rental company situated on the stunning golden coast of Costa Rica.

Horizon Pacific Management and Rentals is a reflection of our owners’ love for the ocean. Bill and Nancy Ripley, hail from Mays Landing, New Jersey in the USA. They grew up in a world of waterskiing, barefooting, sailing, and surfing, shaping their deep connection to the water. Never going far from the salty air, they moved with their two children to the beautiful resort town of Isle of Palms, South Carolina.

It was on the Isle of Palms where Bill embarked on his Real Estate and Property Management career in the 1990s, learning the industry and establishing himself as a trustworthy professional known for his unwavering work ethic and commitment to clients. In 2008, they acquired Horizon Pacific and have since nurtured the company with the same values that have defined their success.

In 2011, Bill and Nancy took a leap of faith and relocated to Costa Rica, captivated by the breathtaking landscapes, vibrant culture, and warm friendships they formed. It was a decision driven by a profound love for the area and a desire to share its riches with others.

At Horizon Pacific, we cater to homeowners and renters alike, striving to provide an unparalleled experience that leaves our clients completely satisfied.
