Location

Esterillos — the coast's best-kept secret

Inside Villas Xihu, a private gated community in Esterillos — the Central Pacific Coast between Jaco and Parrita. The same nature and beaches as Jaco, without the saturation or inflated prices.

Foreign investment in Costa Rica grew 18%+ in 2024. Property values in Esterillos remain significantly below comparable beach areas, while rental demand is already established here.

Independent Analysis

Is the price justified?

Based on publicly available market data. Short answer: yes — and arguably underpriced for what's included.

MarketAvg Annual RevenueTypical PriceGross Yield
Puntarenas Province avg$20,000~5–6%
Jaco area (AirDNA 2025)$22,852$300K–500K+~5–7%
Tamarindo (premium)$36,000$400K–700K+5–8%
This property$37,000+$280,000~13% gross / ~10% net
📊
Below-market entry price
$280K for $27.5K net/year is unusual. Comparable income-producing properties in Tamarindo or Manuel Antonio list for $350K–500K+.
Brand equity is real value
405+ reviews at 4.9★ takes 2–3 years and significant spend to build. You're buying a recognised brand that guests already trust.
🧖
Three income streams
SPA adds ~$5,400 net/year that comparable listings don't have. Two independently bookable suites reduce vacancy risk.

Passive Income Option

Buy from abroad.
We run it for you.

The current owner offers full-service management — invest from anywhere, receive monthly income reports.

What's included
Guest communication · check-in coordination · cleaning scheduling · maintenance oversight · monthly income reporting · Airbnb listing optimisation.
Fee structure
15% of gross Airbnb revenue + $40 per cleaning. At current performance (~$30K Airbnb gross), total ≈ $4,500–$6,900/yr. Net to owner: ~$27,500/yr.
Proven track record
Same team has operated through full seasons. The 4.9★ combined rating across 405+ reviews is direct operational proof — not a promise.

WHY?

You might be wondering —
if this property is that strong, with solid numbers and clear upside, why sell it at all?

Hi, I'm Jay. I represent this villa and work with real estate sales, including more complex and unconventional deals.

I don't just list properties — I focus on projects that actually make sense, and help position them the right way for the right buyer.

The Story Behind It

The reason is simple.

This project was built by a team that doesn't stop at one success — they move forward and keep creating.

The original plan was to keep operating it. But the team behind it is already moving on to the next project — and a turnkey business with proven numbers is more valuable in the right hands than sitting on the books.

It's not a renovation project or a concept — it's a finished, cash-flowing asset you can step into on day one and continue to grow.

If you're looking at acquisition, partnership, or investment — reach out and let's talk.
