March Featured Property - Ocean View Tamarindo B&B
The real estate market is bursting with reality TV buzzwords: curb appeal, open-concept, stainless steel, and everyone's favorite, amazing. Everything is amazing on reality TV. There's a very real reason these words get recycled so often. There's a slim market for properties described as trashy, claustrophobic, and adequate.
Well, we have a property that's all of those things [the first list] and one more very important concept: turn key. This turn key bed and breakfast is the best combination of location, reputation, and luxury in the Tamarindo real estate market. You could argue in the whole Costa Rica real estate market.
Location is the plot of land where your guests will find you.
Number one, because if you consider Costa Rica's ranked as a number one travel destination, and Tamarindo's the number one beach on Costa Rica’s Pacific, all that’s left to figure out is where to find the number one plot of land in Tamarindo. Yep. It’s gonna come down to a matter of opinion, sure, but we think one is up there. Literally.
Almost at the peak of the main hill over Tamarindo, this B&B lives on a paved road, with nothing but ocean views on the other side. Access requires no dirt roads, and no 4WD, all the way from San Jose to the front curb. The walk into Tamarindo is a ten-minute trip down the hill, or a two-minute drive down the same path.
Because you are not smack dab in the middle of town, you can offer your guests all the access to Tamarindo’s nightlife without having them feel like their bed is on the dance floor. It’s all the best of Tamarindo, without all the rest. Oh yeah, and the sunsets are life-changing. There’s simply no adequate way to describe the view with words. Amazing?
Reputation is the foundation on which you build your business.
This business has a platinum reputation that starts and ends with service consistency. The sellers are the original owners. They literally built this business from the ground up. From the beginning they've baked their experience in the tourism industry into their business model, and it shows. This is a cash flow business with a long list of happy clients.
Year after year this property outranks the other B&B’s in Tamarindo, Costa Rica, and Central America on TripAdvisor. You will be hard pressed to find negative reviews. It’s been featured in trade magazines, and travel sites since it’s inception. No doubt the business is built to last.
Luxury is in all the details that confirm an investment.
With near 3,500-square feet of property, 800-square feet of which is teak decking, you will have plenty of space to stand and marvel at the view. Don’t feel like standing? Get off you feet and enjoy the view from the pool.
The central space to the five suites is the open-concept living area, which feature vaulted hardwood ceilings. This space houses the kitchen and dining bar, which can accommodate ten people at once. Sparing no expense, the kitchen has been outfitted with stainless steel appliances, wood cabinetry, and stone countertops.
The adjacent laundry is equipped with an all new washer and dryer set-up, and has loads of storage space.
Of the suites, three feature king size accommodations, and two have double-doubles. They are all fresh, comfortable, and equipped with flat screens, ceiling fans, and premium bedding. There’s a safe in each room, and either a walk-in closet, or a locally made hardwood armoire. Guests will be pleased there is an air conditioner in each room, and you will be pleased to know the operational costs of those units. They are the cost-saving sort.
And just a few extras to put this opportunity over the top.
Already set-up for you is a staff of two, who’ve both enjoyed over two years employment on the property. Between the two of them you will be mostly free to socialize with guests, and see that they're comfortable.
The current owners report that in the last year the majority of the property exterior was repainted, the roof was re-set, and sealed. They've been living in one of the suites the whole time, and still managed to turn a profit. You can expect they will assist you with getting comfortable in your new business for an agreed period of time, teaching you the ins and outs of the brick and mortar property, and the online presence.
And if you're wondering why on earth would anyone sell such a gem? Simple. It’s the same reason you're considering it. They are in search of their next adventure.
