Question 1

What is a beachfront condo in Puerto Vallarta?

Accepted Answer

A beachfront condo has direct beach access from the development, without crossing streets or other properties. They typically include exclusive beach access, a palapa or private beach area, and direct ocean views. They generate up to 50% higher Airbnb ADR than condos 2 blocks from the beach.

Question 2

How much more expensive is a beachfront condo vs. one near the beach?

Accepted Answer

Beachfront condos in Puerto Vallarta cost 30–80% more than similar properties 2–5 blocks from the beach. The premium varies by zone: higher in Amapas and Conchas Chinas (up to 80%) and lower in Nuevo Vallarta (25–35%). The extra vacation rental income typically justifies the premium.

Question 3

Are there legal restrictions on beachfront properties in Mexico?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Federal Maritime Zone (ZOFEMAT) — the first 20 meters from high tide — is federal territory and cannot be privately owned. 'Beachfront' properties have beach access rights but don't own the beach. HOMIA verifies titles and ZOFEMAT concessions in every transaction.

Question 4

What is the ROI of a beachfront condo in Puerto Vallarta?

Accepted Answer

Beachfront condos in Puerto Vallarta generate 30–50% higher ADR than inland properties, with similar or better occupancy. Typical gross yield ranges from 5–8% annually, with historical capital appreciation of 10–15% per year in premium zones like Amapas, Conchas Chinas, and Bucerías.
