If you don't have one, you must have thought at least once in your life how nice it would be to have a summer house by the sea.
However, buying such a property is not something that should be done rashly - there are a number of factors that can influence your final decision.
In order to make the whole process easier for you, in the rest of this text we bring you some valuable tips that will help you find exactly the kind of house you have always dreamed of.
First and foremost, you have to decide on which part of the Croatian coast you want to have a holiday home.
Both Istria and Dalmatia, for example, have a handful of seaside houses for sale, so the location will largely be based on your budget.
In places like Dubrovnik, Hvar or Bol on Brač you can certainly expect higher prices on average, while some other, less popular locations (eg parts of Kvarner) have much more favorable offers.
There are also cottages that are for sale, and they are located in the first row to the sea, which means that their price will also be slightly higher compared to cottages that are further inland of their settlement.
There is also the possibility of buying a property by the sea that needs renovation. This means that in addition to additional money, you will have to invest time before everything is ready for a longer stay, but in this way you will be able to get a house at a very good price.
There is no doubt that holiday homes by the sea are something that can enrich your everyday life, especially in summer. There you can retreat in search of your peace, far from the stressful life in big cities.
The towns and villages of the Croatian coast are full of Mediterranean charm and you can really enjoy them in a relaxed atmosphere surrounded by old stone houses.
Not to mention that beaches are always nearby.
But one should be realistic and say that cottages also have their drawbacks: these are not houses in which you will stay continuously, but they will still bring with them certain additional maintenance costs that need to be covered.
It is also possible that you will decide to decorate the cottage immediately after purchase, which also means additional investments.
Nonetheless, decorating a cottage can be done with the aim of adapting a rental property, which can be a very useful and easily accessible source of income. In this way, the cottage can work for you even while you are not there.
As we have already said, there are many factors that can affect your purchase of a house by the sea. So here are some tips to avoid most of the problems that can arise:
Things like proper title or a valid occupancy permit are necessary to be able to enjoy your property once the sale closes.
Make sure to check whether the property you are interested in is even registered as a house in the land registers, otherwise you will have to convert it.
All our real estate agents are experienced professionals who can help you with valuable advice when buying a holiday home by the sea.
Not only will they show you around the property and point out things you could easily overlook, but they will also take care of the paperwork for you.

What do you want from your cottage? Is it a property you will be renting?
In this case, you want to choose a location near or in tourist centers in order to have as much demand as possible.
Will a lot of people stay in it often?
Pay attention to the number of rooms.
Do you want to retire there after retirement?
Make sure that shops, clinics and similar public institutions are close enough.
A good part of the cottages and houses by the sea that are waiting for sale will require repairs or even a complete renovation because they are mostly old (stone) houses that have not been invested in for a long time.
Keep this in mind when negotiating the price.
If you are planning to buy a cottage that you will renovate, it is definitely a good idea to check whether there is a possibility to upgrade such a house.
An additional room can completely change the experience in the building, and it will also come in handy if you plan to expand the family.
