Ep 112. Family Time In Guanacaste, Costa Rica

In this episode of House Hunters International, we follow a family's search for their dream vacation home in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The family of four consists of a mother, father, and their two young children who are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of their life in Chicago and spend quality time together in a tropical paradise.

Their housing budget is $750,000, and they are looking for a property with at least three bedrooms, plenty of outdoor space, and a location that is close to the beach. While the father is hoping for a property with a pool and a stunning view of the ocean, the mother is more concerned with finding a home that is kid-friendly and located near local attractions.

The family's real estate agent takes them to several properties in different areas of Guanacaste, giving them a taste of what the region has to offer. One property they visit is a spacious three-bedroom villa with a private pool and sweeping ocean views. The father is immediately smitten, but the mother is concerned that the open-plan living area and pool may be unsafe for their young children.

Another property they tour is a charming two-bedroom house located close to the beach. The mother loves the playful touches like a treehouse in the backyard and a brightly painted star on the exterior. While the father appreciates the home's more rustic feel, he worries that it may not have all the amenities they are looking for.

Throughout the episode, we get to see the family enjoying some of the local attractions, like a wildlife sanctuary and a boat tour of the ocean. We also get glimpses of what daily life will be like for them in Costa Rica, including preparing meals in their potential new kitchen and lounging on a hammock in the backyard.

As the episode progresses, the family weighs the pros and cons of each property and tries to decide which one will be the best fit for their family's needs. Ultimately, they must choose between a luxurious villa with breathtaking views and a kid-friendly home with plenty of character.

In the end, the family makes a decision that will allow them to spend quality time together in a beautiful location, away from the stresses of everyday life. House Hunters International once again delivers an entertaining and informative look at the challenges and joys of finding a new home in a foreign country.
