Pacific Paradise - Beach Front Studio
excellent stay. i enjoyed the roof access and the many places to eat and visit within a few blocks

Casa La Perla Luxury House with Private Pool
La Perla was exactly as described. The furnishings were great quality, clean and comfortable. You can tell the host, Megan takes great pride in the rental she offers we took advantage of Megan's concierge service and her tour company offerings the whole week and she did not disappoint. Megan was always responsive. She was able to offer timely recommendations for restaurants and attractions, even offering to make reservations for our group of nine. The pool and outdoor grill area were awesome for nights we didnt go out to eat. The outdoor area was clean with comfortable furnishings and plenty of pool/beach towels. The property came with 4 bikes/beach cruisers. The kitchen was stocked with everything you'd need to cook and also had basic staples. Megan also provided various kinds of wine and alcohol we could purchase from her. Super convenient if you just want a drink and a dip in the pool as soon as you arrive.

Coralita, Private Pool, Gated community, Location
The place is superb! I loved how easy access was, the house was spotless, and we loved the different spaces. I went as a family and liked that they had some things to play, my son and I took advantage of the space to play tennis and soccer in the green area next to the pool. Communication was excellent and my questions were always answered. Excellent host, super recommended!

Full house- On the beach
This place was perfect for us. Close enough to walk to the Main Street area to eat but far enough away for peace and quiet. It was nice eating breakfast on the porch, listening to the waves crash on the beach. Antonio was always quick to respond to any questions and to give his opinion on stuff to do locally. I would stay here again if we ever get back to CR. Thanks again for letting us stay at your place.

Ocean Front, Luxurious Condo in Downtown Jaco!
This was our first time in Costa Rica and Jaco was our second stop. We absolutely loved it! The location was perfect, as was the view and it being ocean front was a bonus! We loved the layout of the unit, the pool and it was within walking distance to everything we needed. There was lots of security, which was nice, but when the security guard followed us to the rooftop and stayed the whole time we were there, that may have been a bit much. Parking was easy and all was very beautiful, efficient and we would definitely stay there again! We loved the area, the beaches and lots of different spots to drive and explore!

Beautiful, private 2 bedroom home with plunge pool
We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the small pool—it was perfect for relaxing—and having a washer and dryer made things so convenient during our trip. We truly enjoyed our time here and felt right at home. Highly recommend!

Un Pedazo de Paraiso!
Very responsive host. Easy checkin. One of the best features is you do not have to worry about your car at all. It is in a private gated community with a 24/7 guard. It is not right in the center of Jaco where all the loud and noisy bars are but it’s close enough to easily walk to them if you wanted to. Right across the street is a liquor store and there is also a coffee shop in the same block. A grocery store as well. Very well located.

Tres Palmas Retreat - 3 Primary Suites + 1 Guest
