I had a older friend, that has been all over the world and decided Playa Del Coco is where he wanted to buy a condo, so he invited me come down with him. This was almost 20 years ago, I was 24 yrs old, and I fell in love with Costa Rica. Before the trip was over I had purchased a condo with absolutely no intentions of doing so before the trip but there was something about this place. The people, the way of life, the work can wait, family and friend are more important, the you don't have to have money to be happy, I understood "Pura Vita". Unfortunately I went home, reality set in and I rented the condo for about 10 years before being able to return with my wife, Nicki, and daughter, Maddie. A year after that trip we were looking to go on another trip and I asked Maddie where she wanted to go for vacation, Disney Word or Costa Rica, she chose to go back to Costa Rica and we have returned almost every year since. After almost 20 years of hard work and dedication the dream of spending more time in Costa Rica is coming true!!!!!!!! I hope you can come enjoy this wonderful place like my family and I have been fortunate enough to do over the last 8 years.
