    I wanted a vacation rental that would also grow in value. Costa Rica Investments found me a $1.7M colonial home in Uvita, managed a $300K renovation, and split it into two ocean-view lots. In 12 months, my $2M investment became a $3.3M asset — a 65% return! 

    They handled the entire process while I stayed home — it was seamless.”

    Potrero’s Tourism Magnet: Gold Coast Beach Network

    Located approximately 45 minutes from Liberia International Airport and part of Costa Rica’s renowned Gold Coast, Potrero connects to several beautiful beaches including Playa Potrero, Playa Penca, and Playa Prieta. The area draws over 120,000 annual visitors seeking a more authentic Costa Rican beach experience while maintaining easy access to tourism centers like Tamarindo (25 minutes) and Flamingo (5 minutes), creating significant investment appeal in this strategic location.

    Residential Real Estate: Potrero’s Premium Market

    Potrero’s real estate landscape features predominantly single-family homes, small to mid-sized condominium developments, and valuable development parcels. Property values have shown consistent appreciation of 5-8% annually over the past decade, with oceanfront and ocean-view properties performing exceptionally well. The market balances growth with controlled development, maintaining the area’s peaceful character while delivering reliable investment returns.

    Long-Term Rentals and Commercial Investment Opportunities

    Potrero provides diverse investment options from residential properties and vacation rentals to small commercial developments and undeveloped land. The destination experiences high season occupancy from December through April (80-90%) with growing mid-season performance (50-65%). Unlike purely tourist-oriented locations, Potrero attracts a significant long-term rental market of 6+ month tenants, creating year-round income stability and reduced vacancy risk for investors.

    Concession Zone Regulations Protect Property Values

    Properties within Potrero’s coastal areas operate under Costa Rica’s Maritime Zone regulations, creating scarcity for legally developable beachfront land. The area benefits from established municipal oversight that provides greater regulatory clarity than newer destinations. These frameworks have protected Potrero’s authentic coastal village character while still allowing strategic development that enhances property values and rental appeal.
