TIPS FOR MANAGING YOUR PROPERTY IN NOSARA

Why Preventative Maintenance Is the Key to Protecting Your Investment

Owning a home in Nosara is a dream come true — but keeping it running smoothly in a tropical climate takes more than just routine care. Between salt air, humidity, and year-round exposure to the elements, preventative maintenance is one of the smartest investments you can make for your property.

Here’s why it matters — and how to stay ahead of the curve.

1. The Tropics Don’t Forgive Neglect

In Nosara, the environment is as beautiful as it is demanding. Salt, sun, and humidity can wear down materials quickly — even on high-end homes. Wood warps, metal rusts, and appliances age faster than they would elsewhere. Waiting until something breaks often means a bigger repair bill and a longer wait time, especially during peak season when service providers are booked solid.

Prevention is always cheaper than repair.

2. Regular Inspections Save You Thousands

A small roof leak, an A/C unit with reduced airflow, or a minor pool pump issue might seem insignificant — but left unchecked, they can cause major damage. Scheduling regular property inspections (monthly or quarterly) allows your manager to spot early warning signs before they become emergencies.

At Rent Nosara, our inspections include photos, videos, and detailed reports so owners can make informed decisions, even from abroad.

3. Create a Maintenance Calendar

A proactive calendar is one of the best tools for long-term property care. This includes:

• Monthly tasks: checking drains, fixtures, filters and A/C units,

• Quarterly tasks: cleaning gutters, treating wood, inspecting roofs

• Annual tasks: deep cleaning, power washing, touch up painting, and system reviews

Having a set schedule means you’ll never miss a key upkeep milestone — and you can budget for maintenance instead of being caught off guard by surprise expenses.

4. Build Relationships with Reliable Vendors

Good help in Nosara is built on trust. Having a network of dependable local contacts — electricians, plumbers, pool techs, gardeners — ensures that when issues arise, they’re handled quickly and correctly. Rent Nosara maintains long-term partnerships with proven vendors, so our clients never have to worry about who’s showing up to their property.

5. Don’t Overlook the Details

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference:

• Checking door seals and window tracks for salt buildup

• Ensuring outdoor furniture is treated and covered

• Monitoring for pests or moisture in storage areas

Attention to detail keeps your home in top condition and ensures guests experience it exactly as you intend.

6. Partner with a Management Company That Cares

Even with a solid plan, managing a home remotely can be stressful. Partnering with an experienced local management company — one that knows the “ins and outs” of Nosara’s climate and systems — removes the guesswork. From routine maintenance to emergency response, having a dedicated on-the-ground team makes all the difference.
