Description
A two-story Caribbean home set in a lush garden, just steps from the beach in Cahuita.
Set within a mature garden filled with flowering plants and fruit trees, this two-story home is located approximately 200 yards from the Caribbean Sea in Cahuita. Daily life unfolds to the sounds of nature, with frequent sightings of toucans, parrots, butterflies, sloths, howler monkeys, iguanas, agoutis, and tropical frogs. The combination of wildlife, privacy, and proximity to the ocean makes this property genuinely distinctive within Cahuita.
The ground floor is designed for everyday living and social use. A covered terrace with outdoor dining creates a natural extension of the interior, offering a comfortable space for meals, gatherings, or quiet afternoons overlooking the garden. Inside, the layout includes a living room, a functional full-size kitchen integrated into the living area, one large bedroom with 2 beds and desk space, and a full bathroom. This level supports practical daily life while maintaining a strong connection to the outdoors.
Toward the back of the property, a laundry area and a large detached storage room add meaningful flexibility. This separate structure offers potential for multiple uses, including secure storage, a workshop, hobby space, or future adaptation depending on the buyer’s needs.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom functions as a private retreat, opening onto a balcony that brings in natural light and coastal airflow. The two-level design creates comfort, privacy, and a relaxed daily rhythm.
The home allows for an authentic Costa Rican lifestyle without sacrificing modern conveniences. Features include reliable Internet service, on-demand tankless hot water, and a drinking water purification system, making the property suitable for full-time living or rental use.
One of the property’s strongest attributes is its location. Beach access is reached without crossing a highway, and the home sits among the closest titled properties to the ocean in the area. Surfing, snorkeling, horseback riding, restaurants, and beachfront bars are all within walking distance, while downtown Cahuita is approximately a 15-minute walk away, offering shops, services, and additional dining options without the need for a car. Cahuita National Park is also nearby, providing access to beaches, kayaking, and jungle trails rich in wildlife.
Simple, well proportioned, and easy to maintain, this home is well suited as a primary residence, a vacation home, or a short-term rental, offering versatility without compromising livability.
