The Caribbean is famous for its extravagant homes which often come with a private swimming pool and access to a spectacular beach. But while in some countries $250,000 USD gets you over 3,000 square-feet of living space in the capital city, in others it offers you a much smaller oceanside property to call your own.
Here’s what $250,000 USD buys you in some exotic Caribbean countries:
#1 Miravista 12, San Jose del Cabo, Mexico, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, $250,000 USD
