Dream Home in Playa Chiquita, Puerto Viejo
An oasis ready to enjoy—with room to keep growing
Live the Caribbean the right way: jungle, sea, and a home designed for everyday comfort. This 170 m² single-level property sits in the heart of Playa Chiquita, one of the most sought-after areas in the Southern Caribbean. In my opinion, it’s a turnkey home that works beautifully for tropical living—and it also leaves the door open for a boutique project with excellent returns.
The Home
2 spacious suite-style bedrooms for maximum privacy. Integrated living room, kitchen, and dining area, with natural light and airflow ideal for the Caribbean climate. ½ guest bath (powder room). Covered veranda connected to the garden—your favorite spot for slow coffees and sunsets. Storage room and laundry, keeping day-to-day operations simple. Private entrance and parking for multiple vehicles.
The Lot
Level 1,505 m² (approx.) lot with lush tropical landscaping. The perfect canvas for a pool, deck, fire pit, or even 2–3 additional guest casitas if you want to convert it into a vacation-rental mini-compound.
Strategic Location
Minutes from Playa Chiquita, Punta Uva, and Manzanillo (top beaches in Costa Rica). Close to restaurants, mini-markets, shops, and essential services. Surrounded by jungle, wildlife, and tranquility—the sweet spot between local life and an international destination.
Why invest now?
Record international arrivals: Costa Rica welcomed 2,661,488 air arrivals in 2024, +7.7% vs. 2023; 7 out of 10 visitors came from the United States—our #1 feeder market. These flows support steady lodging demand in beach destinations like the Southern Caribbean.
High national hotel occupancy in peak 2024: occupancy reached 83.5% in February and 81.8% in March; even December closed at 69%, indicating a solid seasonal baseline for vacation rentals.
The Southern Caribbean concentrates tourism services: territorial studies highlight Cahuita and Puerto Viejo as the hubs concentrating tourism supply (hotels, restaurants, tours), which makes Playa Chiquita a prime spot to capture that demand.
My take: with more tourists entering the country, healthy national occupancy, and the Southern Caribbean consolidating as a top hub, a move-in-ready home plus a lot with expansion potential in Playa Chiquita is a very solid play. Add a pool and 1–2 extra units and you shift from “tropical residence” to a boutique mini-complex with attractive ADRs and resilient seasonality.
