This property was perfect for our family. The 3rd floor covered deck was amazing! It was the perfect place for shade and to escape the heat. The pool was beautiful and refreshing, fabian, the property manager was ni e and promptly reaponsive. We went to the beach a few times during our stay. We loved that there were beach chairs and a cooler at the house to utilize. That made our beach trip much more enjoyable. If you are going to this area in general, you should know that the entire town has no unifoed water source. Water comes from a large holding tank on the property. The holding tank ran out of water at 11pm the night before we were leaving. Text the property manager at midnight to let him know and the water truck was there by 9 AM.Unfortunately , we had to be out the door at nine a m , so no showers for us. It was just bad timing. I think refills are pretty prompt in most circumstances. The water they provide for showers and toilets cannot be consumed. So there is a separate large water jug available for drinking, brushing teeth, etc. My only complaint is it might be time to replace the coffee pot. It was stained and dirty to the point i was not comfortable.using it (note I did not notify the prooerty manager of this issue). They did provide a bag of coffee. I took it down the street to another family rental and made coffee there instead. Overall, we would stay here again!

We had an absolute wonderful stay! The house was perfect for our families, plenty of space and the AC in the bedrooms was almost too cold! The view from upper deck is unreal and macaws fly over everyday! The beach is just a short walk and the kids enjoyed the tidal pool. We loved the location and close to most of the tours but yet not in the crowded areas! The host was exceptional at helping us book all tours and chef services! The property manager Fabian was a pleasure! The owners have multiple properties in the area and even allowed us to hang at their beach house on Jaco Beach while the kids surfed! And they have a Castle with monkeys we even got a private tour! We lucked out booking with this host as they made our first experience in Costa Rica unforgettable!

6 / 10Average·Apr 2025
The house had pretty views, but the drive way was crazy steep. The house itself was really dark. Not much light inside. The common areas do not have air conditioning which made it hard to ever want to hang out in those areas. We had a few issues which the manager resolved. I paid extra for 4 extra people, but when we only had 3 extra people come due to illness, I was not refunded. Overall, it was fine
