Quaint Beach Cottage in Costa Rica Brings the Beach Inside with Modern Touches.6432849

I love the Esterillos area on the Pacific coastline of real estate investment. It is conveniently located about 15 minutes south of Jaco, a major party and tourist destination, and Manuel Antonio National Park, the busiest park of the country and super tourist friendly. It's only about an hour and a half from the San Jose airport and is incredibly easy to get to. And yet, this area has managed to maintain a quiet surfing vibe and community centered spirit. I have a number of different listings in the area, many of them are fully furnished and pretty much ready to either move in or immediately rent out (either long-term or as short-term vacation rentals). One of these listings stood out to me immediately when I walked through the door. I thought, "I love this! I could live here!" It is a quaint 1500 square foot cottage on the beach with modern elements. It has a curved roofline that almost mimics the movement of ocean waves. Inside, the ceiling is beautifully finished with sleek strips of varnished natural wood. Simple and clean white ceiling fans hang down and help circulate the ocean breezes that come through the wall of windows that face the Pacific. The floor is a clean off-white ceramic tile that lends itself to easy cleaning.

The cottage was designed with the living spaces in an open floor plan that will unite families and guests when entertaining and is comfortably furnished and inviting. The open floor plan takes advantage of the stunning panoramic views. The wall of windows entirely opens up out onto the small lap pool and deck between the house, the landscaped backyard, and the beach. This is a legitimate concession property, which means the property owners have abided by the concession regulations for the area and landscaped appropriately. They did not build anything permanent too close to the beach. If you choose to buy this little gem, you will not need to tear anything down to conform to the concession laws. In the kitchen, sleek pendant lights hang over the central built-in island. The wood paneling has clean and smooth lines and brings balance to the ceiling above. There is space for two people to sit and eat breakfast or to assist with meal preparations. In between the kitchen and living room areas is a short hall that leads to the back of the house. In that hall there is an efficient closet that houses a stacked washer and dryer. At the end of the hall you will find 2 bedrooms, each with a bathroom leading off from it and with custom built in closets. Additionally, there is another casita on the property that could be used as a caretaker's home or as a guesthouse. The Hotel Pelicano (my personal favorite hotel in the area) is just a quick jaunt down the beach and offers an open-air restaurant for nights out. As I took in the features of this property for the first time, I could see myself living there and how I would host guests and enjoy the outdoor living that the home practically engineers. I rarely walk into a house and feel like I, personally, could live there. The asking price for this property is $420,000. You get the beachfront living, the 1500 square foot cottage, the guest house, and all the current furnishings and appliances (if you wish).
