Why is renting a house in Costa Rica so Popular?

This is a nation with a laid-back lifestyle, favorable weather patterns, and the allure of perfect surf spots for enthusiasts of all skill levels. Every year, many new residents want to escape the cold, experience a location with delicious fruits growing on the land, and see just how amazing this area has become after many upgrades in its infrastructure.

Renting a house here on a long-term basis offers the tenant a chance to have their own place in a location that is truly paradise, and see if it truly suits them before buying. Purchasing a home or luxury property is a great choice for anyone deciding to come to Costa Rica, but the option to rent is attractive for many different types of residents.

In areas of the nation that are popular for surfing, many types of tenants could see the value of renting over outright ownership of property here. Even though condominium properties make it very easy to rent out the location while you are abroad, some prefer the option of knowing that when they arrive back to their place, it is all theirs, and no one else has been in their private residence.

This stunning beach front luxury condo in the photograph above and the first two below below is a 3 bed/3 bath, 3,300 sq ft, on the 11th floor of one of the most exclusive beachfront communities in Jaco Beach. Featuring a wrap around terrace that features your own private jacuzzi.

At US$450 a night (or US$150 per couple if there are three couples) it’s an absolute bargain.
