Oceanfront Condo 3BEDROOM Jaco Beach CR
The place was within easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, and bars. The pool is situated right off the beach with great views of the ocean. Loved the location and Yojaira is very communicative throughout the booking and stay experience.

Beach Bungalow Steps to Ocean and Surf
Absolutely amazing spot! We had a great time and really appreciated everything the airbnb offered. The only disappointment was we were expecting a washer and dryer in the unit and there was not one. All, in all, amazing stay and we would certainly come back!

Villa Paraíso Coco 20, near to beach, town & pool
The location was super safe and clean! The host was very friendly and helpful. Surrounding area was nice to walk around. Highly recommend!!

Bahia Encantada, Jaco Unit C1 - 3 bedroom
It was a perfect place for us considering we were with a baby and a young child. The ground floor access it as handy to move in and out of the pool. The apartment was clean an easy to access

Ocean View Del Mar, 3 bdr, Colse to pool
Very nice views and location. The apartment is big and has all the amenities one might need for your stay!

Magical Tropical Villa Jaco Beach Pool & Jacuzzi
Jai was an amazing host! 10/10!!!! We all loved her! 100 percent recommend staying here! We would love to come back again some day! Thank you Jai for your hospitality! You were fantastic!

🏖 BRAND NEW MODERN 🏖 Home #1 Seconds from Beach
We enjoyed our stay here. Great location - tucked behind a gate steps from the beach. Location is very walkable both by street and beach! The bnb was equipped with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and Spencer was very communicative. Our only complaint (and it’s a smalll one) is that it didn’t feel very private.

JACO BAY CONDO
We stayed for 2 months and enjoyed every minute. Paul’s place is very spacious, has more than what you need to feel right at home and has a view worthy of a luxury resort. Paul is an excellent host. We highly recommend his stay at Jaco Bay.

Beautiful house, nice pool, wonderful view. Thank you, Carlos!

“Villa Sanctuary”
We stayed at Christopher’s place for our honeymoon and absolutely loved it! We saw so many cool birds, iguanas, geckos and insects while hanging outside. It’s located in Playa Hermosa, just outside Jaco, and centrally located with so many great beaches and restaurants! It’s a very beautiful and peaceful area and nice that it’s just outside of Jaco if we wanted more restaurant options. Christopher recommended some delicious food in the area and masseuses (Askel) to come to the house for a couples massage. There was also free pizza delivery and grocery delivery. Be sure to ask Chris for local beach recommendations and things to do!

Private pool with lots of space, close to beaches
Very nice place. Kids enjoyed the pools and ammenities a lot.

Villa Real: Unique Paradise,10min from Jacó
Thank you again for hosting me and my brothers. This place definitely looks better in person. I would stay here again, & the host did an amazing job hosting us. Thank you again for the great time.

House with a private pool in the Arenas condominium
Kenneth was a great host. Quick response time and very helpful.

Modern beach house in the center of Jaco
Unbeatable experience in the heart of Jacó! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the first contact, the communication with Gabriel was impeccable. Always attentive and friendly, he gave us all the necessary information for a hassle-free check-in and check-out. Definitely a great host! The house is just spectacular. Spacious, well equipped and with beautiful decor that makes you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. The kitchen comes with everything you need to prepare delicious meals, and the living room is perfect for relaxing with a high-definition TV that is fully enjoyed. The location could not be better: full center of Jacó, with easy access to the beach, restaurants and shops. Everything you need is within walking distance, which makes the stay even more comfortable and enjoyable. It was definitely an amazing experience and we recommend it 100%. If you are looking for a comfortable place, conveniently located and with a top host, this house is the perfect choice in Jaco!

4 Bdrm beach house with private pool and huge yard
was alot of fun really enjoyed our vacation Chance was quick to respond to any questions

Casa Harmony ON THE BEACH
Casa Harmony is a beautiful, comfortable and tastefully designed home steps from the surf and amazing sunsets! Ideal spot for surfers and beach lovers. When away from the beach, we relaxed by the pool and enjoyed our meals in the well equipped kitchen. Maud was a pleasure to meet and always responsive and helpful with all of our needs. We will be back one day!

Oceanfront 4BR 3.5 Bath Villa With Private Pool
We enjoyed a nice weekend with the family, the house is spacious and pool fantastic!

Beachfront, 6bd, Pool, Maid, Cook, SUV's, 7 Kayaks
The house and property were as described and expected and we were extremely happy with our stay! We were specifically looking for something outside of the typical tourist spots and Gary’s place did not disappoint. Gary specifically stated that the mosquito population at his house was low and he was absolutely right! Just a few tips and recommendations for other potential visitors. - The kayaks must be taken down the hill to the beach for each use for security reasons. We hesitated to use them until our last day for this reason but we wish we hadn’t. Gary made it very easy and he took them down on his car. It’s an easy paddle to some snorkeling and nice beach areas. You can avoid paying for parking and hauling gear. - there is a public road between the pool area and beach where locals like to park and hang out. Shrubbery gives visual privacy but you may hear music. This did not detract from our stay. Overall we absolutely recommend this house to others.

Beautiful new ocean front home
Kelly was so amazing and responsive with all requests. She even left us a bottle of wine as a welcome treat! The house was even more gorgeous in person than the pictures. The rooftop such a great spot to end a long day of traveling. The house was clean and since it doesn’t have attached neighbors, it was very quiet and nice. The garage / driveway is a bit narrow so be careful if you have a big car. We had a 7 passenger SUV so it was a little difficult for us but regular SUVs should be easy. Overall, it’s one of the best air bnbs I have ever rented and would rent again when we’re back ;)

Amazing Private Beach Front Villa with Hot tub
The four of us really enjoyed our stay at Chadwick's place. It had great views of the nearby ocean and sunsets from the expansive upstairs balcony which was a great place to have a drink or eat a meal. The pool and hot tub were enjoyed by all. It was very much appreciated that there was air conditioning (although we used just the ceiling fan when sleeping since it was quieter), and a washer and dryer. The kitchen was well stocked and we cooked several meals there. The location was well-situated between Manuel Antonio and Carara National Parks, and there were plenty of nearby restaurants on the beach. There were several dozen species of birds in the nearby trees as an added treat. The beach was very close. My only complaint was that there was a surfing contest going on right in front of the rental, which was interesting, but they started early at 6:15 a.m. on the weekend, with very loud speakers. I doubt if this happens very often though. I would highly recommend this rental. Bill

Casa Tortuga
Beautiful home right on the beach with amazing host who was always right there to assist when needed. The home was immaculate and beds very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. The living room was a great relaxing spot and my favourite was the patio table overlooking the pool. We loved this home and you can tell the owner takes pride in hosting. We will be back at the first opportunity . Highly recommended. Thank you for an amazing few days!

Sloth Life Beachfront Home - Sleeps 14 - FRONT ROW
Are stay was awesome. The house and location were perfect, everything was as described online. The location was for us. This beach isnt really a family beach. but it close enough we're you can a day trip Manua Antonio or even Jaco. The sunset where amazing. They do have a pool in the community. Jason was an awesome host. Thank you....#Puravida
