A Luxury Caribbean Lifestyle with an Established Vacation Rental Business

Imagine starting the day with a short walk to the black sands of the Caribbean sea, spending the afternoon beside your own swimming pool, and ending the evening within easy reach of the restaurants and laid-back atmosphere that make Puerto Viejo such a sought-after place to stay.

Just a three-minute walk from the beach, this property offers the opportunity to enjoy the relaxed Caribbean lifestyle while owning an established vacation rental business in one of Playa Negra's most appealing locations. Whether you envision making it your own home in the South Caribbean, operating a boutique hospitality business, or combining personal use with rental income, the property offers several ways to enjoy and make use of the space.

Set on 754m² of titled land, the property features a beautifully finished duplex with two large, independent, one-bedroom suites, a separate studio casita, and an additional two-story home currently under construction.

Two Finished Luxury Rental Suites

At the heart of the property is a thoughtfully finished duplex, with each side offering approximately 104m² of living space across two levels. Both suites have been designed to provide guests with the comfort and privacy of an independent apartment, with quality furnishings and everything needed for a relaxed stay.

The ground floor features an open-plan kitchen and living area, with a fully equipped kitchen, bar seating for four, and a comfortable lounge with a pullout sofa. Large doors open onto a tiled patio overlooking the pool, creating an easy connection between indoor living and the tropical outdoor setting.

Upstairs, each suite has a spacious king bedroom, a dedicated desk area, open closet space, and a full bathroom with a rain shower. The bedroom also opens onto its own covered balcony with a sitting area and views of the surrounding property and jungle canopy.

Both suites are equipped with air conditioning in the living and bedroom areas, keyless entry, televisions, custom almendro wood furniture, quality mattresses and linens, and well-appointed kitchens with full-size refrigerators, gas ranges, ovens, and other appliances.

The two suites were completed in 2026 and currently operate as vacation rentals, with owner-reported nightly rates of approximately $250 in low season and $285 in high season.

A Poolside Setting to Enjoy

Shared between the units, the impressive swimming pool creates a natural gathering place for guests and owners alike. The tiled pool features a shallow baja step with loungers, a waterfall feature, and lighting for evening use. Professional tropical landscaping, a covered cabana, an outdoor shower, and surrounding sitting areas complete the setting.

It is the kind of shared outdoor space that makes a property particularly appealing in the Caribbean, where much of the day is spent enjoying the warmth, fresh air, and slower pace of life.

A Separate Studio Casita

A separate studio casita provides additional accommodation and flexibility. Currently used by the owner, it includes a spacious air-conditioned bedroom, television, large bathroom, and an outdoor kitchen. A small private garden and sitting area offer a more secluded space, while a private covered carport provides parking for two vehicles.

The casita gives the property another distinct living space, whether retained for owner accommodation or considered for a future use that suits the next owner's plans.

Additional Two-Story Structure

The property also includes a second two-story home that is currently under construction. Its proposed layout includes an open-plan living and kitchen area, a ground-floor half bathroom, and an upper level that could accommodate additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, subject to the owner's plans and applicable approvals.

This structure is being sold strictly in its current unfinished condition, as-is. It is not a completed or move-in-ready residence. Any buyer should independently assess the existing construction, structural requirements, permits and approvals, and the work necessary to complete or modify the building.

Established Infrastructure and Tropical Grounds

The property has been developed with a range of practical infrastructure and amenities, including:

High concrete perimeter wall and electric entrance gate
Wireless CCTV security camera system
Three ICE electricity meters
Three septic systems
12 metre dug well with a new pump
Four-stage water filtration system with UV treatment
Finished storage bodega
Dedicated laundry area
Landscaped grounds, gravel pathways, and established fruit trees
Private parking areas for the duplex suites and separate casita

A Walkable Playa Negra Location

One of the property's strongest features is its location. Public beach access is just 300 metres away, and the surrounding Playa Negra neighborhood offers convenient access to local restaurants, tours and activities, and everyday amenities. The well-known Banana Azul Hotel is nearby, adding to the appeal of this established coastal area.

Playa Negra offers a different rhythm from the busier parts of Puerto Viejo. It is a place where beach days, neighborhood restaurants, tropical surroundings, and a relaxed Caribbean lifestyle come together.

An Opportunity Worth Making Your Own

Opportunities to own a property of this calibre in Playa Negra, within an easy walk of the beach, are worth taking seriously. With two finished rental suites already operating, separate owner accommodation, a pool, and room to shape the next phase of the property, this is a chance to establish your place in the South Caribbean while stepping into an existing hospitality operation.
