Ep 110. Early Retirement is Gonna Cost Ya, in Guanacaste, Costa Rica

After years of working hard to reach the goal of an early retirement, Tim and Jodi have decided they want to spend their golden years in the beautiful and sunny Guanacaste region of Costa Rica. The couple is looking for a spacious and modern home with plenty of outdoor space for entertaining, all within their budget of $250,000.

In this episode of House Hunters International, viewers get an inside look at the real estate market in Guanacaste as Tim and Jodi embark on their search for the perfect retirement home. The couple currently lives in Minnesota and is used to the cold weather, so they are excited to enjoy the warm and tropical climate of Costa Rica.

Their search begins with a tour of a modern and sleek two-bedroom bungalow with a large outdoor space perfect for entertaining guests. The home boasts stunning ocean views and is located just a short distance from the beach. However, with a price tag of $280,000, it may be a bit out of their budget.

Next, the couple visits a stunning three-bedroom home that sits on a half-acre lot complete with a pool and expansive outdoor dining area. The property is nestled in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood and offers stunning views of the nearby mountains. However, with a price of $300,000, it may be too much for the couple to afford.

The couple's search continues with a visit to a cozy two-bedroom home that sits on a quarter-acre lot dotted with fruit trees and tropical plants. The kitchen is spacious and modern, and the outdoor patio is the perfect spot for relaxing and enjoying the sunshine. With a price tag of around $230,000, this property seems like a great option for the couple.

But not all is perfect in Guanacaste, and their search hits a snag when they visit a property that is not quite what they had in mind. The home is spacious and modern, but it is located in a noisy and busy part of town that doesn't offer the peace and quiet the couple is looking for.

Despite this setback, Tim and Jodi continue their search and finally stumble upon the perfect property - a stunning three-bedroom home nestled in the hills with breathtaking views of the ocean. The home offers plenty of indoor and outdoor space for entertaining guests, as well as a large pool perfect for taking a dip on a hot day.

In the end, Tim and Jodi decide to make an offer on the stunning three-bedroom home, knowing that it is just the perfect place to spend their retirement years in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. House Hunters International takes viewers on a journey of discovery as the couple visits a variety of different properties, finally finding the perfect home in which to start their new life.
