Turnkey Surf Home Steps from the Waves in Pavones

This titled oceanview home in Pavones, Costa Rica offers a rare opportunity to own a clean, move-in-ready surf property directly in front of waves in one of Southern Costa Rica’s most iconic surf zones. Located in the El Higo neighborhood of Pavones, the property sits along the main paved road with easy access to the famous Rancho Mar wave and several other nearby breaks. This home is walking distance to four waves along the points, making this a true surf-first property for buyers who want immediate access to the water.

Priced at US $249,000, this compact and efficient 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home was built in 2022 and is being sold turnkey and fully furnished. The property includes a permitted two-story concrete bodega, year-round water from a 6-meter well, fruit trees, fenced grounds, ocean views, and strong potential as either a personal surf retreat or income-producing Airbnb investment.

Oceanview Pavones Surf Property

This Pavones oceanview home is built for the surfer who values simplicity, location, and direct access to the lineup. The property is positioned in El Higo, a desirable Pavones neighborhood known for its proximity to surf, town access, and the relaxed rhythm of life along the Golfo Dulce. There is also the Higuito Point restaurant a short walk from the villa.

The home is compact, functional, and low-maintenance, making it ideal as a personal surf base, seasonal retreat, rental property, or starter investment in one of Costa Rica’s best-known surf destinations. With the Rancho Mar wave nearby and additional breaks within walking distance, this property offers the kind of wave access that defines the International Surf Properties lifestyle.

Home Features

The main home includes approximately 320 square feet of indoor living space with concrete block construction, an insulated metal roof, elevated ceilings, air conditioning, on-demand hot water, and a practical breakfast bar. A large open porch of approximately 160 square feet expands the living area outdoors and creates a comfortable place to relax after a surf, check the ocean, store sandy gear, or enjoy the tropical surroundings.

The home was built in April 2022 and is being sold fully furnished, allowing a buyer to step directly into the Pavones lifestyle without a major setup period. The efficient footprint makes the property easy to maintain while still offering the essentials needed for comfortable daily living in a tropical surf destination.

Two-Story Bodega with Expansion Potential

A major value-add is the permitted two-story concrete bodega. Built with concrete block construction and a metal roof, the bodega includes electrical outlets and lighting on both levels, along with washer and dryer hookups. This structure provides valuable storage for surfboards, bicycles, tools, linens, equipment, and owner supplies.

The upstairs and downstairs spaces create flexibility for future use. A buyer may choose to keep the bodega as high-function storage, convert part of it into additional living space, create an owner’s lock-off area for rental operations, or use it as a workshop, boardroom, or creative studio.

Tropical Grounds and Outdoor Living

The property is fully fenced with concrete posts, and a mix of bamboo and limoncillo hedges that help create privacy. The garden area includes an outdoor shower, a metal driveway gate, and multiple fruit trees, including midget coconut palms, lime trees, an orange tree, avocado tree, mangosteen, and Amazonian grape tree.

This is the type of tropical setup that fits naturally into the Pavones lifestyle: surf in the morning, rinse off in the garden, grab fruit from the yard, and relax on the porch while the jungle and ocean set the pace.

Surf & Lifestyle

Pavones is one of Costa Rica’s most legendary surf destinations, known internationally for its long left-hand point wave and laid-back jungle-meets-ocean lifestyle. The broader area around Pavones and the Golfo Dulce is known for its world-class surf, natural beauty, fishing, wildlife, and slower pace of life. The source site notes that Pavones is home to the second-longest left point break in the world and that surf legends have recorded rides up to two minutes long.

This property adds something especially valuable: direct access to multiple waves without needing to load boards into a car. For surfers, that is the difference between visiting Pavones and truly living it.

Investment Potential

At US $249,000, this titled Pavones property represents an accessible entry point into one of Costa Rica’s strongest surf-lifestyle markets. The home is already furnished, built recently, and ready for immediate use. That makes it attractive for buyers seeking a personal surf home, seasonal rental, or simple Airbnb-style investment.

The combination of titled ownership, ocean views, walking-distance surf access, a permitted bodega, year-round water, and turnkey condition gives the property multiple layers of value. It is not oversized or overbuilt. Instead, it offers a clean and efficient base in the right location, with room for a buyer to personalize, expand, or operate it as a rental.

Best Uses

This property is well suited for:

• A personal Pavones surf retreat
• A turnkey vacation home
• A surf-focused Airbnb rental
• A seasonal owner-use property
• A simple income-producing Costa Rica investment
• A base for surfers, fishermen, digital nomads, or long-stay travelers
• A compact home with storage and future expansion potential

Why This Property Stands Out

Many buyers come to Pavones looking for the same thing: clean title, ocean view, easy surf access, manageable size, and a property that does not require years of work. This home checks those boxes.

The location near Rancho Mar and other nearby waves gives it genuine surf value. The two-story bodega creates practical storage and future flexibility. The fenced grounds, fruit trees, outdoor shower, and furnished home make it easy to start using the property immediately.

For buyers who want to own in Pavones without taking on a large estate, hotel, or major development project, this is a strong fit.
