Thanks to HomeExchange, we were able to stay in a whole house instead of a hotel, which completely changed our experience.

With stunning ocean views and the most stunning sunsets of the trip, it quickly became a family favorite. we love her very much Sometimes we choose to “stay at home” by the pool Instead of going to the beach.

One of the best surprises? Tips from our landlord. They recommended a little-known beach north of Tamarindo called Playa Conchal, where the sand is crushed shells rather than fine sand.

Turns out this is one of our favorite places – Calm waters, great for kids Snorkeling, fewer people than the main beach, and a beachside vendor making the best fresh fruit smoothies. We would never have discovered this place without the owner’s recommendation.

Costa Rica gives us more than just beautiful scenery—— It allows us to reconnect as a family. Having the right accommodation is key. Through HomeExchange, we not only visited Costa Rica; We live there. When we cook, eat, or drink lemonade together on the patio, we feel less like tourists and more like members of the community.

For families considering Costa Rica, here are some quick tips:

• Travel light : Many homes are equipped with essentials like beach gear and laundry supplies.
• Prioritize local sourcing : Farmers’ markets are rich in resources and affordable, perfect for purchasing fresh fruits, vegetables and local specialties.
