- This video is Part 3 of a 5 part series on the Best Places to Live or Retire in Costa Rica.
Today, we'll talk about and look at the Southern Border area of Costa Rica near Panama.
We'll talk primarily about two towns with Italian roots, San Vito and Sabalito.
Both San Vito, Costa Rica, and Sabalito, Costa Rica are very small agricultural towns.
Very friendly, cool climate, great people and you'll not have to worry about seeing lots of tourists or paying tourist prices.

More about this video:
This area was our favorite area until we found the Rivas area which is located in Perez Zeledon.
However, I believe everyone coming to Costa Rica should try living in Sabalito, Costa Rica, or San Vito, Costa Rica to get the rich authentic Costa Rican experience.
Living around San Vito or Sabalito Costa Rica can be very affordable because it is a place where there is NOT much tourism and not a lot of Gringos.
The prices are usually the normal prices that Ticos pay. This makes living in the area, affordable and shopping is fairly easy because you are so close to the Panama border where you can get groceries, gas, and much more at almost half the price.
The area does NOT have a lot of ex-pats, however, a good number of ex-pats (Gringos) do live in the remote areas and you'll find a fair amount near the Linda Vista area.
Living in this Southern area in San Vito or Sabalito ...you feel like you are NOT in a tourist area but enjoying authentic Costa Rica.

Glad it was helpful!
I could if I wasn't living by myself. Its seems to remote.
Thanks for your input. Let us know how we can serve you!

Thank you greatly! We are glad you enjoy it.

Yes I do! I see you found it. th-cam.com/video/t833DilX9kY/w-d-xo.html I hope you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the videos! I plan on driving down from CA to Costa Rica to stay and hopefully become a resident in about six months! It’s nice to have videos about the different regions.
Costa Rica is wonderful! The scenery, people and the weather are the best!
Awesome adventure - would luv to hear more about your driving journey !
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL.
I HAVE SUBSCRIBED!!!!!!
We are so glad you LOVE this channel. Let us know if we can help YOU with anything.
@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica yes for sure!!!
@Brandon Clark 👍😎
This is some great information you guys bring. Before I made the move here, I read that the best Italian food in CR is in San Vito, which is where a group of Italians settled back in the day. Can you speak to that? I really enjoy your videos, and thanks so much for taking the time to make them.
Glad you're enjoying the videos...we appreciate you saying so. San Vito probably does have the best Italian food in CR given its Italian roots. We'd found a little place (can't remember the name but its on a dead end street off from town center by the park where the taxis line up) that specialized in pizza and it was the best we'd had in CR; however, I have to say that it's different from the pizza we've had in the US...fresh ingredients and great crust but just not much seasoning and I'm sure much healthier.
..@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica.. Would it be Lilliana restaurant? Great Anti pasta when I was there.
Thanks for the videos, could You please talk about playas del coco?
Hi Genie, Playa del Coco....we've been there! And it is possible we will do a video on that at some point. We were NOT that impressed. However, that is because we do NOT like touristy areas. You might love it? Depending on your taste. Playa del Coco is situated on a beautiful kinda beach cove. GREAT for Boat Lovers....lots of boats anchored in that cove. Tons of Gringos...which also means more expensive Cost of Living.
That is some basic information....if you have any other questions...please ask and we'll do our best to answer them...and hopefully we can do a video about that place at some point in the near future.
Also...just a little fun fact from Wikipedia...
Playas del Coco is one of the oldest beach communities in Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica. This region is also one of the fastest growing areas of tourism in Costa Rica. It has long been a popular destination with both local Costa Ricans as well as visitors from other countries during the traditional holiday seasons. Wikipedia
Dear Mrs. Thank you for answering, if I am interested in knowing about that place, since we will be moving there shortly We would like to know more about liberia , y@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica
@@raininmysoulwhite Sure Genie, Liberia is the go to place for most of your major shopping. Liberis is fairly big...however, not nearly as big as San Jose and the surrounding area. Great to get all the stuff you need but NOT too big. There is the airport near there which is a great benefit for you as well.
Very nice country
Yes....it is very enjoyable here.....
Ok brother
I could live that remote.I would like more information about the hospital location.Thank you
The hospital is located on the outskirts of San Vito. But you can get to it within 20 minutes of anywhere in San Vito.
I have checked out several of your videos and you havent mentioned banking and how you deal with getting finances from the states.
Can you talk about that?
Hey Tom, in our last TH-cam "Live" we did talk briefly about Banking (th-cam.com/video/SO0hxUEYQVI/w-d-xo.html) But it would be a good idea to do a full video (all about banking in Costa Rica). Also, that would be a great topic to post in our new forum community. it would be great if You posted a question there and started that topic. go here: Forum.CloudForestChapel.com
New subscriber here- my wife and I are discussing the idea of Costa Rica as I near retirement. How would you classify the cost of seafood ? Lobster, fish from a fresh market
You can get some great prices if you live near the coast. Many locals are catching fish and selling them all the time. Buying from a local will get you the best price, but, you don't know how long that fish has been put of the water???
Do you offer any type of short consultation services, for those soon to move?
At the moment, nothing is in place to do that...although we are talking about doing that. If that is something you are interested in....I am sure we can help you. Just tell us what you have in mind.
We really enjoy your videos because we are Germans and are looking forward to retire soon in CR, just Covid came between. As a result of you Videos we will investigate Rivas in our next trip :-) Do you guys have Facebook or Instagram? Thank you so very much for all this nice Videos
Hi Heike, we're so glad you are enjoying the videos! Yeah ! And, so glad you are planning on moving to CR! I think you'll LOVE Rivas. At the moment, we have NOT created a FB page for this channel, but we will soon be creating a community that everyone will be invited to join so that you can connect with us and OTHER people who are currently in CR or who are planning on coming to CR. This will give everyone a chance to chat with other like minded people. I hope that is of interest to you.?>?>?>
@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica Oh, yes, we are very interested to join your communitiy and to have the chance to chat with like minded people. We hope to be able to come in November or December and want to visit Rivas for some weeks. 😊
@@HeikeKugland That sounds great...I hope to have the community up and running within 2 or 3 weeks.
I just want to teach Permaculture to all the locals.🤗
Hey Hulagu....are you planning on moving to the San Vito - Sabalito area? Teaching Permaculture sounds interesting.
They teach it at the agricultural colleges.
Would it also be possible to buy a vehicle in Panama and bring it to CR? I'm wondering...
You could...but NOT worth it because you would have to pay import fees, and everything just like brining a vehicle in from the states.
How about a residential status and health coverage?
Check out some of our other videos..that talk about that topic. To get a fast ANSWER...considering connecting with me directly and others who are already here. They can share their experience.
Consider joining our members only community...You'll have direct access to me and you get to meet other people like you who are coming or are already in Costa Rica and LOTS of good information I can't share on TH-cam.

@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica Excellent , thanks for your respond and valious content about the theme..
You mentioned homes you have seen in the 150-200k range to purchase? Is this in the Rivas area? Thanks so much for any info to share. Really enjoying your videos and I’m here in Quepos and would like to relocate to Rivas area. Thanks again
The homes I've talked about have been in the Perez Zeledon area. Some near Rivas and others near Tinamaste. However...many, many areas for sale and you REALLY can find some amazing deals right now....IT IS a BUYERS market. Thanks for your kind words. Please share our channel with anyone you think will enjoy this info.
You are extremely kind for your answers and I will share to others looking. I am in Quepos and would like to escape the heat and tourism but I built a home here so I am only 5 years in but want to goto Perez area. Is Rivas area still your favorite?
@@macpropsl Thanks...we try our best to help and really wished we had this kind of help when we were coming here...
YES, Rivas is still our Favorite! We personally think, unless you are a BEACH person...everyone would love this place. ONLY negative...and it's NOT a killer or a big negative...is the higher into Rivas you get, the more rain you get. For example...where we are above Rivas, (area called Chimirol) the rainy season is more like 9 months instead of 6 months each year. But that is NOT bad when it only rains in the afternoon.
Hopefully, you can either Rent you place as an AirBnB , long term rental or sell and move to the Rivas or Perez Zeledon area.
Hi! what is the average temperature in Quepos??
@@mommabear7052 Quepos is HOT...but it's the beach, it is supposed to be. LOL, but NOT nearly as hot as some places. The avg temps in Quepos are from 72 degrees to 83 degrees on the low side and up to 75 to 90 on the high side...however, it does feel hotter than that because the sun is so much closer. It is VERY easy to get a sunburn in Costa Rica. This site will give you more detailed information:
www.weather-atlas.com/en/costa-rica/quepos-climate
Where is the temperature between 65-75 year round?🤔
Hey Hulagu, for those temps between 65 - 75 you need to find a place above or close to 3,500 feet. In Rivas....it is almost perfect temps... Also, some places in Sabalito, San Vito is the same. If you find any place over 3,500 and above...it is cool. Tinamaste is cool. But...if you get about 5,000 feet, you'll experience too many clouds during the rainy season which then hinders the view, but is nice in itself.
What would public transportation be from Paso Canoas to San Jose? ~6 hrs is a long trip
It is less than 9,000 colones which converted at todays rate is about $15. Really cheap to travel by bus and a LOT of people will travel by bus to stamp out at Paso Canoas, stay the night and then return in the morning.
@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica Thank you! Yes, that is quite cheap.
@@mattbetancourt4584 Glad to help you.
Yours videos are excelent but knowing Costa Rica for 30 years safe and security have been getting worse and worse and that is one thing that american should be more aware before viciting so they can enjoy the beauty of the place without been a victim of the high crime
Yes....you are correct. I think crime has been getting worse everywhere...but in Costa Rica, it seems as it has gotten bad recently because of no work with COVID and etc. People need to be prepared and it can still be very safe. Just use some good ole common sense and don't trust anyone.
Costa Rica is beautiful only for the young , healthy and wealthy !!!! I f you think you’re going to come to CR with less money and have a better life ; you are sim
Thanks for sharing your perspective. It is expensive in Costa Rica...depending on your lifestyle, but YOU can live very affordable if YOU choose to do so.
