The Lifestyle & Investment Potential
In Uvita/Bahia, location is everything. This home is situated in the “sweet spot” of Bahia where you are close to nature but never far from modern conveniences. You have a convenience store, café, and food options just 150 meters (approx. 500 feet) from your doorstep.
For investors, this property is a prime candidate for Airbnb. The walk-to-beach factor is the #1 request for tourists in this part of Costa Rica and will help keep occupancy rates high. With parking for 2-3 vehicles and a completely flat terrain, upgrading this property is straightforward and cost-effective.
Agent’s Tip: Use the extra space on the 400 m² lot to build a nice pool, a rancho (outdoor living space) and perhaps a separate master suite or small cabina for rentals. These additions would significantly increase the nightly rental rate and property value for only a modest investment.
