2 bdrm Oceanfront w/ Rooftop, 1min walk to main st
The rooftop is stunning and the pool connects you to the beach life while being elevated from the beach just enough.

Condo Jaco Bay Resort A2
Excellent and beautiful place, very organized, safe and clean easy access, close to the beach, restaurants and supermarkets. Don Ricardo is very friendly. Recommended

New Oceanfront 2BR Apt at The Pacific Point 803
This stay is everything I imagined when one plans for a great vacation, especially when staying at Jaco beach. I felt instantly at home! Super comfortable, excellent views, fully furnished throughout with an easy to use washer/dryer. This was absolutely the better option than staying at a boutique hotel, the savings is a no-brainer. Pura Vida!!!!

Tropical Garden Apt w/ Private Beach Access & Pool
What a fantastic stay! Everything was as described if not better and the secluded, private path and gated entrance to the beach was just phenomenal. The facility was immaculate clean and inviting and the peace and quiet during our stay was exactly what we were looking for. Melissa is attentive to any issues that may arise, but in our case it was just messages back and forth regarding extending our stay because it was absolutely incredible and we just didn’t want to leave. 5 stars all the way around! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

loved our stay! Hoping to come back

Hermosa Beachfront - Apartment 3
Absolutely perfect—like stepping into the pages of a nature magazine. Nestled near the forest beside the stunning ocean, it offers the best of both worlds: peaceful seclusion and all the modern comforts you need. Everything is conveniently close by, yet the tranquility makes it feel worlds away. The silence is incredibly soothing. The dogs on the property are so sweet and comforting—they really helped with how much I was missing mine back home. 10/10, I would definitely book again!

Brand New beachfront condo|Jaco Surf & vibes
I really enjoyed my stay at Ibrahim’s apartment in Jaco. The place was perfect and the attention to detail within the apartment was wonderful. Ibrahim and his team were very responsive and accommodating throughout my stay. The location was perfect. It was a very short walk from popular restaurants and bars, yet in a location that could also provide you some privacy and distance from the crowds. This was actually the best Airbnb experience I’ve had and I would certainly hope to stay at Ibrahim’s place again in the future.

Apartment 505 The Pacific Point
The best way to describe this apartment is "convenient." It's close to everything in town, and having the amenities right next to the beach completely changed the experience of visiting Jacó during Easter, peak season in Costa Rica. Lawrence and Camille were attentive and responsive from the very first moment.

Casa Otto Beachside Colorada - Surf in Surf Out
Beautiful space. The high ceilings are great and make it feel more spacious. It was surprisingly soundproof - we were traveling with 3 kids who wake up early, and the grownups were able to sleep in anyway! The beach is right behind the house, with great waves and not a lot of people. The pool is great for kids, and you'll see lizards hanging out by it. The whole area is gated, which let us feel safe letting the kids run around outside. It's a fairly quiet area, which was also nice. The kitchen was well-stocked. The little market on the corner has all the essentials you need, and it's a 30 min walk to a huge supermarket (or a $2 - $3 uber ride). Highly recommend the Puddlefish Brewery right up the street (5 min walk), for the passionfruit margarita, the fish burgers, and the passionfruit chili chicken wings! We would definitely stay here again on a future Jaco trip!

Pop House with private pool at Ciudad del Mar Jacó
Lovely place, private and with a good location. Hosts were kind and helpful. Good internet speed for those looking to work remotely.

Beach front house private pool Esterillos Jacó
We had the loveliest time at this beachfront house. The pool is gorgeous - not too warm or cold. It was so refreshing to relax in the pool and stare at the waves. The house is in the best part of Esterillos, right in front of the “mermaid” and the tide pools. The house is well designed and makes use of all the spaces. It was clean and well equipped. You can also walk to the nearby store and there are a few good restaurants just a block or two away walking along the beach. It was an amazing place to share with family, we will be back!

Entire Modern Hotel Steps to Beach Fast WiFi Pool
🌟 A Hidden Gem in Costa Rica – Hotel Zócalo is Pure Magic! 🌟This beautiful boutique hotel is a perfect blend of charm, comfort, and authentic local warmth. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Every interaction felt personal and sincere – it’s clear they truly care about their guests. Our room was stunning – immaculately clean and tastefully decorated with local touches. We woke up each morning to the sound of tropical birds and enjoyed fresh coffee on the balcony overlooking lush greenery. What really sets Hotel Zócalo apart is the vibe – it’s peaceful, inviting, and full of character. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool or enjoying locally-sourced breakfast it all feels effortlessly comfortable. The location is perfect close to beautiful beaches, adventure excursions, and vibrant local culture, but still tucked away enough to feel like a true retreat. If you’re looking for a place that offers an unforgettable experience, Hotel Zócalo is it.

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.

OceanFront Community 3BR Beach House Steps to Sand
I feel so lucky I got to stay here. This home is located in a private, beach front community with other travelers and locals. The pool was beautiful with a swim up bar and macaws flying over our heads and hanging out in the nearby trees. The home was beautiful and very clean, it was easy to feel at home and get a good night’s rest. The home is beautifully designed yet very cozy. The host was awesome and provided us a list of local food, activities, and more! They didn’t miss a beat. I highly recommend choosing this home for your stay in Costa Rica. Also, Jaco and the surrounding areas are so extremely beautiful. This was the most incredible trips of my life, everyone I met was so cool and friendly, the food was amazing, and the wildlife was breathtaking. If you have the opportunity, please don’t pass it up!

CASA BARU New house - 2 min from the beach
Casa Baru is a beautiful home and a perfect location for accessing the beach and many great restaurants. When we walked in the door my kids said, “This looks like a celebrity’s house!”. The outdoor space is beautiful and serene and indoors is spacious and comfortable. Juan was super responsive to any questions we had and he had great local recommendations for restaurants. I highly recommend this beautiful home and Juan as a host!

Oceanfront 4BR 3.5 Bath Villa With Private Pool

Jaco Modern and luxurious penthouse with breathtaking views
This place was so beautiful, very clean and the communication was sufficient. The power went out for like a minute and someone came by to make sure that everything was ok. The response time was amazing. The power turned back on shortly after. I would definitely stay here again.

Apto Costa Linda 9-24 – Pool View, Jacó Beach
we would like to thank you for all your understanding and your support with our son and daughter in law they love there time at you condo and they would recommend it to anyone.

Modern condo with wonderful ocean view
Jose’s condo was an amazing find. We stayed there with some family, and it was perfect for us to have our own bedrooms but also have a nice shared space to all spend time together. My parents stayed at a similar condo close by but ended up spending most of their time with us at Jose’s condo as it was a nicer place to hang out together. Jose was always responsive, came immediately to help us with any questions or to show us how to use appliances, and was so accommodating. Perfect place to walk to restaurants, shops, the beach, or just to relax.

Beachfront condo -Bahia Encantada, Jaco -3 bedroom
Everything was fine, only the little detail that bothered us in terms of health, that smoking is allowed in the facilities and the smell is quite uncomfortable and unpleasant both in the pool and in the apartment. However, Priscila was attentive to give us answers at all times.

Oceanfront Luxury Dual Master Stes min walk 2 town
Beautiful place to stay, great location, host was friendly and responsive. Would come back again!

Stay here. You will not regret it.

Beachfront penthouse w/pool & rooftop terrace
Wonderful stay! John made our trip helping provide such a quick turnaround. We had been staying at the Los Suenos Marriott and we didn’t feel connected to Costa Rica and what we were hoping to experience and John changed that. About 1 hour into a Jaco Beach visit we connected with John and he had us in his property within a couple of hours. The other families that were staying near him were extremely helpful and very kind pointing us in the right direction for every experience that we wanted. The views were outstanding and location was perfect.

Los Sueños Resort Luxury 3BR Condominium
Norman’s place is amazing and he was very communicative and helpful! Would definitely recommend to go there and I would love to go back.
