Turnkey Dual-Rental Property Just 350m from the Beach - Smart First Investment in Puerto Viejo

This is a well maintained property in a convenient location near the tourist destinations of Puerto Viejo, Cahuita National Park, and Gandoca Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge, offering two independent homes already active on Airbnb. The setup is simple and functional, perfect for those looking to establish a foothold in Costa Rica with minimal complications. Each home is fully serviced, with infrastructure in place and potential to adapt for personal or long term use in the future.

The titled property of 1000 sqm sits on a quiet internal road just outside the center of Puerto Viejo, providing easy access to town, beaches, and essential services. It includes two separate dwellings, each with its own electrical panel and septic system, all within a fully fenced lot. Water is supplied by a 7 meter dug well connected to a 2,500 liter storage tank housed in the bodega. A covered carport accommodates two vehicles, and there’s an outdoor shower conveniently located at the entrance. Both homes have their own private covered patios and are connected by gravel pathways that run through the beautifully landscaped property. A security camera system is installed and active, offering added peace of mind.

Studio (Approx. 42 sqm including covered patio)

6 m x 7 m footprint with a compact layout designed for efficiency.
Covered patio includes built in two burner gas cooktop and mini fridge.
Hot water in faucets; matrimonial bed and removable closet included.
No air conditioning installed, but setup allows for easy future installation.

One-Bedroom House (Approx. 63 sqm including covered patio)

7 m x 9 m total area with spacious interior and a larger covered patio.
Full kitchen with six-burner gas stove and full size refrigerator.
Includes matrimonial bed, removable closet, and ceiling fans.
Separate laundry area at rear entrance with washer and dryer in place.
Additional space available beside the bodega to relocate laundry, with the option to build a roofed and enclosed area.

Both homes are built with a steel frame structure using concrete board and finished with easy to clean plastic ceiling panels that include foam insulation beneath a metal roof. The buildings are elevated on concrete pillars, offering durability and airflow beneath the structures. Each home operates on its own septic system and has hot water plumbed to all faucets. The water supply is sourced from a 7 meter dug well and supported by a 2,500 liter storage tank, providing backup during dry periods. Electrical service is stable, with each unit on its own panel and the public utility meter located on the property. The overall infrastructure is solid and well planned, offering a dependable foundation for continued rental use or future personal residence.

Both houses are currently listed and performing on Airbnb. The studio appeals to solo travelers and couples, while the main house suits longer stays with its larger kitchen and additional space. While not luxury properties, they are functional, clean, and well reviewed, allowing a buyer to continue generating income without additional investment.

This property is a good match for a buyer seeking:

A first investment in Costa Rica that doesn’t require immediate upgrades or management complexity.
A “Plan B” lifestyle: live abroad when ready, rent in the meantime
An income generating property with potential to improve slowly over time (e.g., adding A/C or expanding storage areas).

This is not a luxury retreat or large scale investment, and it’s not intended to be. It’s a practical, smart option for those looking to establish roots in Costa Rica while generating passive income with proven rentals.
