Standup comedian Kelly and nurse practitioner Marci have sacrificed family time for their demanding careers. They are looking to grow closer together and embrace the laid back 'Pura Vida' lifestyle they fell in love with during a vacation to Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Kelly makes jokes for a living but he is completely serious about his belief that a beachfront home will provide the best bonding experience. Marci feels the bustling Playas del Coco area can give them a wide array of activities to enjoy with her son Jacob. Unfortunately, on Kelly's single income, they won't escape the stress of trying to find an affordable house that pleases them both in Costa Rica.
