Curious about what’s inside a typical home in Costa Rica? Catch a glimpse inside a lovely, cozy, rustic Costa Rican house located in Liberia, Guanacaste. 
Good friends of ours were kind enough to lend a key to their quaint, relaxing home last month when we headed toward the beach for a little R&R. Their three-bedroom abode oozes warm Costa Rican charm from the straw hats hanging in the dining room to a bird’s nest that an unexpected feathered guest built atop the lighting fixture in the entryway.
My favorite feature of the home is the open-air living room. The back “wall” is made of handcrafted iron bars, allowing a fresh breeze to whirl through and bright sunshine to fill the space. The homeowners have done a fantastic job of decorating this family home with nostalgia of Costa Rica, generational keepsakes, and the pure essence of Tico country life.
Go ahead, take a look around!

What a beautiful home. It’s always great to see how other people live.

Thanks so much for stopping by, Heidi. I love checking out traditional homes around the globe too!
Now that is fascinating! I’ve been to Honduras before, so this reminds me a bit of the nice home I went into there. However, the typical Honduran home was in deep poverty and a far cry from homes like these. I would guess it’s the same in Costa Rica.
I’d estimate this to be pretty typical of a middle class home. I’ve definitely seen some that look like the front pages of home decor magazines here, but this one is pretty standard.
what a cute little place! we booked our trip for 2014 last weekend! i am already SO SO excited!
Yay! How exciting! We’re hoping to visit the US soon with my kiddos, but since the govt.s shutdown, I can’t apply for my son’s US passport yet. Boo.
My family is from Costa Rica. What part are you guys staying in? It’s a simple country with simple people, who are God loving, natural wandering and arms wide open. Pura Vida!!!
It’s great to meet you, Lena! My husband is from the San Jose area, and that’s where we currently live and work. I’d love to get into a greener area, but for now, this is where God has us and we are enjoying it- I’m especially loving the year-round warm climate. It’s gorgeous! Thanks for visiting this week. Hope to see you around again soon.
Awesome! Well, enjoy. I can’t wait to go back. We have a family house in Heredia, where i’m going back for a family event this February! Hope the weather cooperates!
