Guanacaste, Costa RicaYesterday as me and the wife went out for nice walk on the beach in the afternoon in Tamarindo we ran into some old friends from back home and ended up having dinner with them. Apparently they have been renting a nice small villa in Guanacaste for the past week and are actually here not only on vacations, but also planning on moving here for good.

 

When I heard this I had to let them know about all the work I have been doing learning about Costa Rica real estate and how much I have accomplished with my Guanacaste housing project that although is still in diapers, has me very excited. They told us that they first wanted to travel, Costa Rica was their second destination so far, but apparently they have been feeling so comfortable, they are considering Costa Rica as their retirement place. It was very similar to the day me and my family arrived into our first Costa Rica hotel and decided that we will be much more comfortable in a villa, so we rented a Villa in Tamarindo, of course the first place we stayed at was not Guanacaste, Costa Rica appear so beautiful we had to stay longer than expected.

 

A couple of months later I negotiated with the villa owner and made my first Costa Rica real estate deal ever, and bough the villa we were renting, our vacations were no longer vacations, it was a change of lifestyle, which I had to admit, I wanted to change and that was on my mind the entire time, we came to Costa Rica to explore the possibilities of staying and we did, no more stress or travel. Costa Rica welcomes you like not other place and apparently my friends felt the same way.
