House Hunters International Season 159 Episode 2 Work and Play in Guanacaste

In season 159 episode 2 of House Hunters International, viewers are taken on a journey to the beautiful tropical paradise of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Titled "Work and Play in Guanacaste," this episode follows a couple, Dale and Sara, as they search for their dream home in the province of Guanacaste.

Dale and Sara are an adventurous couple from California who are looking to move to Costa Rica full-time to start a new chapter in their lives. They have been living in Costa Rica part-time for several years, so they are familiar with the area and know exactly what they are looking for in a home.

The couple's primary objective is to find a house that is versatile enough to accommodate both their work and play needs. Dale is a telecommuter and requires a dedicated office space, while Sara is a yoga instructor who needs an open area for her yoga practices. Additionally, they are looking for a home that is close to the beach, with breathtaking natural surroundings and a vibrant local community.

The couple's real estate agent, Marco, takes them on a tour of multiple properties within their budget, all offering unique features that cater to their lifestyle. They start their search by visiting a two-story house located in a gated community. The house has a large open living space with high ceilings and a modern look to it. The outdoor area features a palapa with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. Though the house fulfills several of their requirements, the couple is not convinced and decides to continue searching.

Next, Marco takes them to a beachfront property located right on the sand. The house has a beautiful large outdoor space with an infinity pool, offering a panoramic view of the beach. The inside of the house is fully furnished and decorated with a rustic theme, giving the house a warm and inviting feel. However, the property is a bit of a distance from the couple's must-haves, like markets and the local town, and they decide to move on.

The third property is a new construction house located closer to town. The house is designed in a modern style and has a large open living area that leads to a beautiful outdoor pool area. The house has two master suites with en suite bathrooms and garden views. There is also a separate covered outdoor living and dining that overlooks the pool and the ocean. The couple is impressed with this property, but the main downside is the lack of natural light and a somewhat small office space.

In the end, the couple finally finds their dream property. The house is a beautiful modern-style house located in a stunning mountain view community. The house offers panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding mountains, with a large outdoor pool and terrace, including outdoor dining and living spaces. The house is spacious and has a separate area for both Dale's office and Sara's yoga practice. The house is also located a few minutes' walk from the beach and all other necessities.

Viewers get to witness Dale and Sara make their final decision and see the house in all its glory as they move in with huge smiles of satisfaction.

"Work and Play in Guanacaste" is an excellent episode that showcases some of the beautiful properties available in Costa Rica, giving an insight into the country's vibrant culture and tropical way of life. It's an episode that many viewers will enjoy and get inspiration from whether they dream of moving to Costa Rica or just want to get an idea of what it would be like to live in paradise.
