Location: Cahuita, Costa Rica
Tucked quietly off the main highway, this peaceful 782 m² property sits at the edge of the jungle just a short walk from the village of Cahuita, the Cahuita National Park entrance, local shops, and the supermarket, offering an exceptional balance of seclusion and convenience.
The grounds are beautifully landscaped with mature plants, flowering bushes, and lush tropical greenery, creating a natural garden that all five cabins and the common area overlook. It's the kind of setting that feels effortlessly resort-like without trying too hard.
The Layout
The property includes five independent cabins and a shared common area, forming a small self-contained community ideal for groups, retreats, volunteer programs, or conversion into a boutique eco-lodge.
Three larger cabins each feature two bunk beds (sleeping up to four), a private bathroom with a shower, and a kitchenette with a fridge and stove — well-suited for extended stays.
Two private cabins offer a king-size bed, a private bathroom with a shower, and a kitchenette, intimate and comfortable, ideal for couples or solo travelers seeking a quieter setup.
The common area brings everyone together with a full kitchen, dining space, bathroom, and storage room — the natural social heart of the property.
Condition
The property has served primarily as housing for volunteers from a local turtle rescue center rather than for commercial rentals, meaning it has been used with care and purpose rather than run hard for profit. Beds, mattresses, and appliances are all in good condition. Some furniture pieces may benefit from refreshing, but the bones are solid, and the infrastructure is ready.
Utilities
Electricity and the internet are connected. Water is currently supplied through a rainwater collection system, a sustainable and common solution in this part of the Caribbean coast. No city water or private well is currently in place.
The Opportunity
This property has never been listed on Airbnb or Booking.com, meaning it arrives with no reviews, no reputation to manage, and no guests to disappoint — just genuine potential. With its location, layout, and natural beauty, it is well-positioned as an eco-lodge, yoga or wellness retreat, volunteer base, or family/group getaway destination.
