What’s the Upside?
The Pacific coast is a wonderful place to live and play—it’s where the mountains come down to meet the beach. And there’s a charming local vibe that deepens over time.
Ensure that everyone can experience the singular coastal lifestyle, without the worry of climbing steps and stairs.
Whether you aim to:
- “Age in place” in the casa you love
- Distinguish your rental in a competitive market
- Keep your retreat, venue or hotel accessible to loyal guests
Space-Efficient Design
You don’t always have to give up interior space for accessibility. Custom elevators can be installed externally or integrated into your home’s architecture—maximizing usable space and blending with your style.
Long-term Investment
Accessibility improvements take time to plan and install. But your return-on-investment starts immediately with the value of your property. Accessible buildings command premium prices when it’s time to sell or refinance.
The time to start is now—before access becomes a limitation.
Custom Elevators: Benefits & Uses
For homeowners “aging in place,” vacation rentals that rise above the crowd, and boutique hotels that take care of their valued guests.

Stairs are a leading cause of home injuries—an elevator provides a safer alternative for your entire household.

Accessibility Regulations
Guest Safety & Reduced Liability
Safety features protect your guests and demonstrate duty of care. Commercial buildings open to the public must provide accessible routes and facilities for people with disabilities. Specific requirements for multi-story buildings must be met for compliance. When feasible, existing multi-story commercial properties should retrofit accessibility features during renovations.
The Instituto Costarricense de Turismo (ICT) encourages accessible tourism and may require accessibility features for certain tourism property classifications. Properties with accessibility features are in sync with Costa Rica’s culture of caring and inclusiveness.
- Ley N° 7600: Ley de Igualdad de Oportunidades para las Personas con Discapacidad (Equal Opportunities for People with Disabilities)
The law primarily addresses public and commercial buildings but residential properties that offer services to the public (such as vacation rentals or retreats) should consider accessibility features as a best practice.
