BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey titled beachfront vacation rental and retreat property on Costa Rica’s Central Pacific Coast.

Located directly on the beach in the peaceful community of Bajamar, this fully furnished 4-bedroom beachfront property offers the unique combination of direct beachfront ownership, strong hospitality potential, exceptional privacy, and convenient access to Costa Rica’s primary international airport.

Unlike the majority of beachfront properties in Costa Rica, this property is situated on titled beachfront land, allowing true fee-simple ownership. Only a small percentage of Costa Rica’s coastline offers titled beachfront ownership, making this a highly desirable and increasingly scarce asset.

The property is currently used primarily as a private second home and rented occasionally. However, the previous owner successfully operated it as a vacation rental for many years, demonstrating the property’s proven income-producing potential.

For a new owner seeking to operate a full-time hospitality business, the opportunity for expansion is substantial. The property is offered fully furnished and ready to begin welcoming guests immediately.

The home offers approximately 4,306 square feet (400 m²) of construction on a 16,193 square foot (1,504 m²) beachfront lot. The layout includes two spacious master suites with ensuite bathrooms, two additional guest bedrooms, four full bathrooms, a large open-concept living area, high ceilings, abundant natural light, a spacious kitchen with pantry, wet bar with built-in wine cooler, private swimming pool, garage, and beautifully landscaped grounds.

One of the most valuable aspects of this opportunity is its location. Accessibility is one of the most important factors driving occupancy rates and guest demand in Costa Rica’s vacation rental industry. The property is located less than 90 minutes from Juan Santamaría International Airport, making it significantly more convenient for international travelers than many beach destinations located several hours from an airport.

Guests can easily enjoy day trips to nearby beaches, national parks, wildlife reserves, waterfalls, golf courses, fishing destinations, surfing beaches, and the renowned Los Sueños Marina, creating an exceptional guest experience and strong repeat-visitor potential.

The surrounding area is known for its tranquility, wildlife, and natural beauty. Scarlet macaws, monkeys, and other native species are regularly seen in the area, providing the authentic Costa Rican experience many travelers seek.

The property is particularly attractive for:

  • Luxury vacation rentals
  • Airbnb and VRBO operations
  • Boutique retreat businesses
  • Wellness and yoga retreats
  • Corporate retreats and executive off-sites
  • Masterclasses and educational workshops
  • Private beachfront events
  • Small weddings and celebrations
  • Family reunions
  • Luxury group travel

The direct beachfront setting, private atmosphere, spacious layout, pool area, and event-friendly design create multiple revenue opportunities beyond traditional nightly rentals.

Unlike many resort communities, there is no homeowners association governing the property. This provides greater operational flexibility and eliminates many of the rental restrictions commonly encountered in HOA communities.

Additionally, the Central Pacific region offers numerous professional vacation rental management companies that can handle reservations, guest communication, housekeeping, maintenance, and marketing, allowing the business to be operated remotely if desired.

For investors seeking a rare beachfront hospitality asset with proven rental history, multiple income possibilities, and exceptional long-term appreciation potential, this property represents one of the most compelling opportunities currently available on Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast.

LOCATION

This beachfront property is located in Bajamar, a peaceful coastal community on Costa Rica’s highly desirable Central Pacific Coast. Known for its natural beauty, privacy, and abundant wildlife, Bajamar offers a tranquil alternative to the country’s more crowded beach destinations while maintaining excellent accessibility.

One of the property’s greatest advantages is its proximity to Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO), located less than 90 minutes away. Easy airport access is a key factor in the success of vacation rental and hospitality businesses in Costa Rica, making the property highly attractive to international travelers seeking convenient beachfront accommodations.

The location serves as an ideal base for exploring many of Costa Rica’s most popular attractions. Guests can enjoy easy access to nearby beaches, national parks, wildlife reserves, surfing destinations, sportfishing, golf courses, waterfalls, and adventure tourism activities. The world-renowned Los Sueños Marina, one of Central America’s premier sportfishing and luxury marina destinations, is also within a short drive.

The surrounding area offers a unique combination of beachfront living and natural immersion. Scarlet macaws, monkeys, and other native wildlife are frequently seen, creating the authentic Costa Rican experience sought by many visitors.

Despite its secluded and private atmosphere, essential services, supermarkets, restaurants, medical facilities, and banking services are conveniently available in nearby towns, providing the perfect balance between accessibility and tranquility.

For hospitality operators, retreat hosts, and vacation rental investors, Bajamar represents one of the most strategically located beachfront destinations on Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast, combining privacy, natural beauty, tourism appeal, and exceptional airport accessibility.

Significant expansion opportunities exist for a buyer seeking to maximize revenue.

Potential growth strategies include:

  • Full-time vacation rental operation

The property’s beachfront setting, privacy, airport accessibility, and flexible layout make it exceptionally well suited for the growing retreat and experiential travel sectors.

Competition / Market:

This opportunity occupies a highly desirable niche within Costa Rica’s hospitality market due to its rare combination of:

  • Titled beachfront ownership
  • Direct beach access
  • Fully furnished turnkey condition
  • Proven rental history
  • Event and retreat potential
  • No HOA restrictions
  • Strong airport accessibility
  • Privacy and natural surroundings
  • Competitive acquisition cost relative to comparable beachfront properties

Very few beachfront properties in Costa Rica offer all of these characteristics simultaneously.

Reasons for selling:

The owners are U.S. citizens who have enjoyed the property as a private vacation home and occasional rental property. Due to evolving health considerations, they are no longer able to travel to Costa Rica as frequently as they once did and have decided it is time to pass this exceptional opportunity on to a new owner.

Rather than allowing the property to be underutilized, they would like to see someone fully enjoy its potential and take advantage of the many opportunities it offers as a vacation rental, retreat venue, event property, or hospitality business.

This is a genuine lifestyle-driven sale, and the owners hope the next owner will continue to enjoy the property’s unique beachfront setting while maximizing its considerable business and income-generating potential.

Other Information

Financing available:

Seller financing is not available for this opportunity.

However, financing options are available for qualified U.S. and Canadian buyers through established U.S.-based lenders that specialize in Costa Rica real estate purchases. These lenders are experienced in working with foreign buyers and offer financing solutions specifically designed for vacation homes, investment properties, and income-producing real estate in Costa Rica.

Typical financing programs require approximately 25% down payment and may offer fixed interest rates with repayment terms extending up to 20 or 30 years, subject to lender approval and borrower qualifications.

Many international buyers prefer these lending programs because the underwriting process is completed through the U.S.-based lender, often making the experience more straightforward than applying through a local Costa Rican bank. Financing can generally be used for personal use properties, second homes, vacation rentals, and hospitality-focused investments.

As this property has strong potential as a vacation rental and retreat business, qualified buyers may be able to leverage financing while acquiring a rare titled beachfront asset with both lifestyle and income-generating potential.

Interested buyers are encouraged to explore financing options early in the acquisition process to determine available loan amounts, rates, and terms based on their individual qualifications.

Foreign buyers enjoy the same ownership rights as Costa Rican citizens, including full fee-simple ownership of this rare titled beachfront property.
