Hawaii's high cost of living means single mom Nancy has to work constantly to keep the money rolling in. That leaves no time to spend with her five year old daughter Jacqueline. They both love the beach and the surf, and Nancy wants to replicate that lifestyle where the cost of living is more affordable. She decides to sell everything they own, and with the proceeds, return to Costa Rica where she lived years ago. She will hunt for a condo on Costa Rica's Pacific coast where the recovering real estate market challenges Nancy's budget and her need for a location suitable for a young child. Watch as House Hunters International goes surfing in Tamarindo, Costa Rica.
