Few investment opportunities provide such potential - demand for rentals in this location is extremely strong and the property offers four brand new apartments (2x2BR and 2x3BR), fully turnkey and furnished, that can be immediately rented to either short-term or long-term clients. The Playa Grande surf break is legendary - and the beach itself will not be spoiled by commercial development because of the national marine park that includes the community's beachfront. This 10BR rental property is located only two blocks from the beach itself, an enviable location in Playa Grande Estates where the lots for sale have been purchased at breathtaking speed in recent years. Built in 2022, the apartments are perfect spaces for digital nomads of families moving to Costa Rica, with spacious kitchens and comfortable bedrooms. Every apartment has its own private patio, and the property is completed with an oasis-like pool and rancho that are beautiful spaces for spending time outdoors. Income projects for the property could easily provide a convincing return on investment for either casual, hands-off investors or those that want to run their own boutique rental. The property could also make an ideal destination for retreats.
