They have both been to the country before and fell in love with the beautiful scenery, relaxed lifestyle, and warm climate. They are now ready to make their dream a reality and are looking for the perfect home to retire in.
The couple has a budget of $500,000 and a wish list that includes a home with a pool, ocean views, and plenty of outdoor space for entertaining. They are also looking for a home that is in a gated community and has easy access to local amenities such as restaurants, shopping, and healthcare.
Throughout the episode, the couple views several properties with their real estate agent. They visit a variety of homes ranging from spacious villas to modern condos. Each home has its own unique features and benefits, but the couple must weigh the pros and cons of each property to determine which one is the right fit for them.
One of the properties they view is a spacious villa with stunning ocean views. This property is located in a gated community and has plenty of outdoor space for entertaining. The couple is impressed by the size of the home and the beautiful views, but they are concerned about the upkeep of such a large property. They worry that it may be too much work for them in their retirement years.
Another property they view is a modern condo located in a high-rise building. While the couple is impressed by the convenience of this property and the amenities that come with living in a high-rise, they are concerned about the lack of outdoor space and privacy. They also worry that the condo may not meet their desire for a relaxed, outdoor lifestyle.
As the episode progresses, the couple must weigh their options and determine which property checks off all the boxes on their wish list. They are torn between a spacious villa with ocean views and a modern condo with all the conveniences of city living.
Eventually, the couple comes to a decision and chooses the property that best meets their needs. They are thrilled to have found their dream retirement home in Costa Rica and are excited to start their new life in paradise.
Overall, A Couple Retires to Costa Rica is a heartwarming episode that showcases the beauty and charm of Costa Rica and the excitement of starting a new chapter in life. It is a must-watch for anyone who dreams of retiring to a tropical paradise.
