Grateful to Call Paradise Home

A Season of Gratitude in Guanacaste

As we enter this season of gratitude, we want to take a moment to celebrate you — our valued Flamingo Beach Realty family.

Each November, we reflect on how fortunate we are to live and work in one of the most beautiful places on Earth — and to do so alongside such a wonderful community of homeowners and investors who share our love for Guanacaste.

Whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee overlooking Playa Flamingo, welcoming family to your vacation home for the holidays, or preparing your villa for the high season, this time of year reminds us all what Pura Vida truly means.

You’ve built lives, memories, and legacies here — and that’s something to be grateful for.

☀️ Slowing Down and Living the Pura Vida Way

You’ve likely felt it by now — that shift in rhythm that happens once you call Guanacaste home.

Gone are the hectic commutes, the rush of city living, and the constant noise. Here, mornings begin with the sound of waves, mid-days bring swims instead of traffic, and evenings end with sunsets that seem to pause time itself.

Many of you have told us how much calmer and healthier life feels here. Whether you came for a new adventure or a well-earned retirement, Guanacaste has a way of restoring balance and perspective.

And isn’t that what Pura Vida is all about?

🏝️ A Community That Feels Like Family

One of the most rewarding parts of owning a home in Guanacaste is the people you meet along the way.

Over the years, our Flamingo Beach Realty clients have formed a network of neighbors, friends, and collaborators who look out for one another — whether it’s sharing a local recommendation, helping with a renovation, or simply meeting for a sunset toast.

From Potrero to Surfside to the Marina area, this region thrives on community spirit. You’ve helped create that.

Together, we’ve built something more than a market — we’ve built a neighborhood without borders, full of kindness, connection, and shared joy.

🩺 Health, Safety, and Family Well-Being

As many of you have discovered, Costa Rica isn’t just a beautiful place to visit — it’s an incredible place to live and raise a family.

With excellent healthcare, bilingual schools, and a peaceful way of life, it’s no wonder so many of our clients have turned their vacation homes into full-time residences.

Children here grow up outdoors, families reconnect over beach walks instead of screens, and wellness becomes a way of life. You didn’t just invest in a property — you invested in a healthier, happier future.

💰 A Smart and Satisfying Investment

This year, we’ve continued to see strong interest from international buyers, especially around

As a homeowner, you’re already ahead of the curve. The region’s continued growth — combined with limited coastal inventory — has made your property not only a source of joy, but a solid long-term investment.

For those who rent their homes seasonally, the upcoming high season is shaping up to be one of the busiest yet.

If you’d like updated rental data, property management tips, or insight on how to enhance your home’s value, our team is always here to help.

🌴 A Daily Connection to Nature

Every day in Guanacaste offers a reason to pause and give thanks — from the sight of howler monkeys in the trees to the sound of the waves against the shore.

We’ve heard from so many of you that living here has deepened your connection to nature — and even changed the way you see the world. The air feels fresher, the stars seem brighter, and somehow, life feels more real here.

It’s hard not to be grateful when paradise greets you every morning.
