Pine Shores

Pine Shores is a low-rise building right on Na Jomtien Beach, south of central Pattaya. Pine Shores condominium in Na Jomtien, Pattaya, also listed as Pine Shores Condominium, was completed in 2010 and is a single seven-storey block with just 44 apartments. It is a small, private project with large floor plans; apartments are sold on the resale market, directly by their owners.

Location

The building stands by Soi Na Jomtien 10, directly on the shore: the sand is about 40 m from the block, and the beach is reached straight from the grounds. This stretch of coast is known for its beach restaurants: the Italian Bacco Beach is next door, The Glass House roughly 70 m away and Cave Beach Club a few minutes on foot. Sukhumvit Road is about 0.8 km inland and leads to central Pattaya, the Floating Market (around 2 km from the building), Ocean Marina Yacht Club and Nong Nooch Tropical Garden. Larger shops are concentrated along Sukhumvit, so having your own transport helps. The area itself is quiet – a coastal strip of low buildings, hotels and beach clubs.

Facilities

• ground-floor swimming pool right by the beach, with sea views;
• private access to the beach;
• fitness room;
• residents' library;
• children's area;
• parking;
• 24-hour security and controlled access to the building.

Apartments

Layouts at Pine Shores are designed for full-time living rather than short holidays. According to portal listings, one-bedroom apartments measure about 108 m², while two-bedroom apartments range from 93–100 m² to 136–151 m². The More Property catalogue currently includes a 137 m² unit. Listings for apartments on the upper floors state full sea views. With only 44 apartments across seven floors there are few neighbours, and the atmosphere is closer to a private residence than to a large resort complex.

Who it suits

Pine Shores is for buyers looking for a spacious apartment right by the sea who value peace and quiet: for permanent living, family holidays and long winter stays. A small building with large apartments is more of a home than an investment product, although beachfront units here are also let, including long-term. Those who want nightlife and shops within walking distance would do better looking closer to the centre. A general rule in Thailand: up to 49% of the saleable area of a condominium may be registered in foreign ownership (the foreign quota), while the rest is held under the Thai quota or through a company, so the status of a particular apartment should be checked in advance.
