Jaco beach vacation rentals

Modern Penthouse & Beach Front
Great place to stay! We had a view of Jaco Beach from our balcony. This place was modern, safe and walking distance to the beach. Parking was very safe and private. I highly recommend to anyone going to Costa Rica. Anytime we had questions they were very quick to respond.

Pacific Point luxury ocean front condo 2 bed
Amazing place! Great location, terrific amenities, top notch appliances and supplies. Pool is beautiful! Rooftop terrace is magnificent! Private gym, great security. Close to everything and wonderful location right on the beach.

Beachfront Studio with private Spa Plunge pool
All good except the construction noise in neighborhood starting at 6:30 am.

Oceanfront 4BR 3.5 Bath Villa With Private Pool
What an incredible stay we had at Casa Del Ray David! The proximity to the beach, the beautiful backyard landscaping and pool, and responsiveness of Askel and her team- it was a dream vacation. We HIGHLY recommend checking out the local surf comp at Vida Hermosa every Saturday and taking a surf lesson with Hermosa Riders! If you are a surfer, this place is for you. Playa Hermosa is a heck of a break and we had a great time surfing. We had chef Leo (2 nights) make extraordinary meals that had us wanting for more. And the sweet outdoors cats were bonus. We will be back!

Beautiful new ocean front home
We travelled in a group of 3 adults and a toddler, the place was very comfortable for a family holiday. House is beautiful and has everything you might need for cooking etc. it is very safe - located in a gated community. The ocean is very near. We had a car rented and it would have been more difficult without one. We had a very lovely stay. Thank you!

Beach Front Condo -3 bedrooms, fully equipped
Greatest place on Jaco to stay in! Near to the beach, comfortable and worth for a sunny holiday vacation.

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!

Recently Updated Condo One Block From The Beach.
Excellent apartment in secure gated community. Just couple mins walk to the beach, and very quiet area. Solid wifi, good tv, both in main room and bedroom. A/C in both rooms work well to maintain good balance temp. Fans also useful for the hot days. Living room good size, comfortable couch, eat in dining. Good sized patio for outside entertainment. Bathroom superb shower, all new fixtures. Kitchen good size and all you need for long stay, large fridge and full size stove. Bedroom good closet space and very comfortable bed, curtains block light well. Resident iguana lives close by you see every day. One negative was the communal pool. Two parts. Adult, with folk in talking, fairly small. Other part always has kids in, being, well, kids. But I personally spent the days at the beach, did not come to CR to sit by a pool. Overall would definitely stay here again if in the area.

5 bdrm house 3 blocks from Beach ☀︎ Sleeps 10
Nick and James are out of the ordinary guests, I have rarely seen such high efficiency and concern for the well-being of their guests. The location of the house is very close to the city center. The Sol Dorado community is really great, people are kind. The pool is well maintained. It's easy to walk to the beach. There are a lot of restaurant and action choices if you want to go out in the evening, but it's absolutely not bothering when you're at home.

Ocean view. Close to Jaco (1 or optional 2 bdms)
We love this place! It was our second time staying there, and will most likely return. A short walk takes you to private beaches with a spectacular sunset view. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the pool and watching macaws and other birds in the huge trees surrounding the place. Rosanna is a sweetie-pie!

Cerro Mar
We had an amazing time here, stayed three weeks. The view is amazing. The pool is perfect for hot days. It’s located in a great place to attend many activities. Not far from ceviches in the village, a local market or the national park. Carlos is always helpful and ready to make your stay pleasant. If you’re lucky enough to get your days here don’t wait to book it! Pura Vida!

“Villa Sanctuary”
Christopher’s place is INCREDIBLE! The outdoor space was so beautiful and calm. We saw monkeys climbing through trees right over the property. Iguanas and different birds are around as well. The pool was clean - very enjoyable. We had dinner outside - so good! Christopher gave us a great recommendation for a private dinner at home and it didn’t disappoint. The grill outside works well also. The kitchen was fully stocked, and everything was clean. There is a blender to make smoothies, and the fridge has a lot of space. The living area was pretty comfortable, and it’s easy to connect to the TV with AirPlay/streaming apps. We stayed in the master bedroom. There is A/C in here, and the bed was so comfortable. We loved the outdoor shower! There is a carport for one car. There were a ton of food options close by, and free delivery services too. Christopher provided helpful options! Downtown Jaco is only minutes away by car. We had an amazing stay and will definitely be back!

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

Seahorse Beach house 4 Bedroom Ciudad Del Mar
Angela is truly a super host! Upon entering the house you could tell the home was well looked after. The amenities were amazing and the location was a quick walk to the beach, local restaurants and town. The pool was beautiful and the house has amazing access. Angela was always quick to respond when we asked questions. Her home was the perfect spot for our Jaco Vacay! We were a group of 8 and we had plenty of space. I would definitely come back and use this property again. Thank you Angela for the amazing memories!

Casa Harmony ON THE BEACH
An unforgettable week in Maud's beautiful villa which is exactly as described. 20 meters from the beach it was perfect to see every night breathtaking sunsets! Maud was available for any questions and very accommodating. She had told us about work around the villa, which is very honest on her part and in the end we were not very bothered by the noises nearby I would recommend it 100%

Curadise beach house
I'm glad, I booked this house. The condominium was clean, quiet, the pool was nice and even has a jacuzzi with a roof and multiple areas to be around the pool, with tables and chairs like little cabanas. The house had everything we needed. 2 bathrooms were fantastic for the 5 of us. Lots of room to storage our stuff in the kitchen, the rooms and bathrooms. Enough A/C to cool the entire unit. Everything worked fine. The kids had fun with the bikes, and the surroundings. I recommend it for a family trip, and even if you're thinking of a longer stay. The beach is 1 block away and everything you need is around the corner. Our host was absolutely kind, responsive and helpful.

Beachfront, 6bd, Pool, Maid, Cook, SUV's, 7 Kayaks
It was a beautiful place for my family, we had a wonderful time together enjoying the games, the views, and all the areas. Also Gary was a wonderful host.

Amazing Private Beach Front Villa with Hot tub
The pool and location right on the beach can’t be beat. The house itself feels like a party house for 20-something’s, but it was well cleaned and the kitchen was well stocked with what you’ll need. Hosts were responsive when we contacted them. The sunsets here are incredible.

House in Esterillos Centro
In a very welcoming place! Super friendly and helpful managers! Come back as soon as I can! Bring your knives and lighter for the kitchen, no spark.
