I have a small house in Tronadora (near Tilaran) which I rent out from time to time. It’s been rented by a couple building a home for about the past year, so sitting vacant hasn’t been an issue. However it may be sitting empty soon, and my real estate people have told me that I definitely should think about securing the windows and doors with some kind of security bars. The quote for putting these bars on this 900 s.f. house is $2100, which sounds astronomically high to me. There are four normal windows, and two patio sliders. The crime rate in this area is very low, but once word gets around that a house is sitting empty, who knows what can happen. Does anyone have any recommendations on a) whether that price seems fair or b) any other solutions I should consider?

Since there are two prices for everything in Costa Rica if you have Tico friends that can help you out have them inquire about prices with measurements for the openings.
