Frequently asked questions
How do I buy a surf villa or house abroad?
Start by shortlisting listings above and contacting the owner or listing agent directly — every listing links to them. Foreign ownership rules differ by country (fee-simple title in Costa Rica, bank-trust fideicomiso in coastal Mexico, leasehold structures in Indonesia), so engage a local real estate attorney early to handle title checks and closing.
How much does a surf villa cost?
Prices span a wide range: modest homes a few blocks back from the beach can start well under the price of a city apartment, while beachfront villas in front of world-class breaks command a premium. Location, lot size, ocean frontage and the walk to the nearest surfable wave are the biggest price drivers.
Can I rent out my surf villa when I'm not using it?
Yes — surf-destination villas are among the strongest short-term-rental performers, since traveling surfers pay a premium to stay walking distance from the wave. Many owners cover their carrying costs with rental income. Check local licensing rules, then list it on International Surf Properties' vacation-rentals marketplace.
How do I know how close a villa is to good surf?
Every listing on International Surf Properties is mapped against the nearest real-world surf break, including its wave type and skill level. Use the map view to see the property and the lineup on one screen before you commit to a viewing trip.
