Brand New Beachfront Condo Downtown Jacó 1104
Wonderful secure and clean new building with great amenities within a few steps from the beach and many restaurants. Unit is spacious, view is amazing, and host is friendly and responsive.

Hermosa Jaco, Ocean View Beach Front #1
This condo is located right across the street from the world class pristine surf of Playa Hermosa. Gil's place had so much natural light and I loved opening the sliding glass patio doors to let the sea breeze in. This place was literally spotless and I appreciated Gil letting me check in 4 hours early so I could do some meetings for work. Also, the washer and dryer was conveniently located right out back. Super secure and safe, but you will definitely need a rental car. I loved the fluffy white dog (Max) and the cute little black kitten that would come to visit every now and then. Only thing was the WiFi was really spotty as times and was not 100% reliable for my work calls/cell phone service. Other than that, I look forward to staying at Gil's place again. :)

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

Playa Mantas | 7th Floor | Sea View | QUEEN BED |
Lovely apartment with an amazing view. Pamela is very friendly and communicative. We would have loved to stay longer!

3 bdrm Beachfront, Sunset Views, Rooftop Lounge !
We were pleasantly surprised to find a 25 meter lap pool. The location was perfect, and the condo fit our family perfectly. We loved sitting on the balcony or roof top to watch the surfers during sunrise and sunset.

Esmerald Paradise 17th floor ocean view
Our family of four had a great weekend at Andrea's place. The view from the 17th Floor was amazing. We had three great sunsets. From the balcony we could watch the scarlet macaws soaring from the mountains down to the beach. The Playa Esmeralda beach club was about a 5 minute walk from the apartment. It has direct beach access to Playa Manta. Our kids played all day on the beach and in the pools. We highly recommend and would return again.

The Palms 402 by Dream Makers
The was super helpful, met us at the property to welcome us. They answered our questions very quickly, and gave many recommendations. The property is nicely located on the beach with access to next door Crocs. Totally secure building, with very friendly guards. Clean space, very large, great AC, fairly stocked, washer/dryer, nicely furnished. This one will definitely stay on my list for the next trip. Highly recommended.

Hermosa Beachfront - Apartment 3
We were very satisfied. We'll be back soon.

Entire Modern Hotel Steps to Beach Fast WiFi Pool
The host was extremely responsive. We loved the used of Hotel Jaco’s pool, restaurant, room service, & beach access.

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!

Oceanfront 4BR 3.5 Bath Villa With Private Pool
We had a great time at David's place. There were 7 of us and we had plenty of room between the bedrooms, main living area, back patio and the pool, and the deck above the pool area. Beautiful views and easy access to the ocean. The pool was cleaned every day and the cleaner came twice during our 11 day stay. The kitchen is more than adequately equipped and there was plenty of room for multiple people to be cooking or visiting in the kitchen. The iguana's were everywhere and we enjoyed the two cats that came around regularly. Communication with the house manager was good. She does work a full time job in addition to managing the house so the responses aren't immediate, but they happened rather quickly.. She setup the private chef for us who catered to our various dietary needs. It was delicious! Would definitely stay here again!

Casa Azul Punta Leona Playa Blanca Beach
Overall the house is very good, the location is excellent, the hosts respond quickly

Modern 5BR Ocean View House with Infinity Pool
We had an incredible stay at Las Góndolas! The house was even better than we expected — spacious, beautifully designed, and perfect for our group of friends. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, from the super comfortable beds to the fully stocked kitchen. The outdoor area was definitely a highlight — we spent most of our days lounging by the pool, enjoying the amazing ocean views, and grilling under the stars. The location in Playa Hermosa is perfect too — close enough to restaurants and activities, but still peaceful and private. The hosts were fantastic — very responsive and helpful with anything we needed before and during our stay. You can tell they truly care about creating a great experience for their guests. I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing and unforgettable getaway. We’re already talking about coming back next year!

Beautiful new ocean front home
If we could give more than 5-stars we would. Before we even arrived, Kelly was so helpful, suggesting tours and giving us local travel tips. The house is gorgeous, the property is pristine, and the hosts were so accommodating. Book it now!

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!

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.

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

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.

Oceanfront | Huge Terrace | Resort Pool
Shelley’s listing was a 10/10. The views, the bedrooms, and cleanliness exceeded our expectations. It is perfectly located for those who want the beautiful and peaceful ocean views but still only a 5-10 minute uber to downtown. By far the best listing we’ve stayed at in Costa Rica.

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.

Sublime Beach Front Condo Sleeps 5 Excellent
Donna’s place is great! We would come back in a heartbeat and highly recommend. We are a family of three that stayed for 2 weeks. She was incredibly helpful and communicative from the time of booking until we left. The unit is exactly as described with all the listed amenities. It’s very comfortable, beautifully decorated, spacious and we felt right at home. The balcony was amazing, so relaxing with an amazing view. The pool and grounds are beautiful and well maintained. There is someone on site available 24 hours a day. Great location right on the beach with sandy bottom and fun waves. It’s the quieter end of the beach which we loved, with lovely nature walks and wildlife nearby. Town is walkable or very easy to uber around. Great restaurants and lots to do and see in Jaco and surrounding areas. We are looking forward to visiting again :)

Panoramic View 3 Bedroom Condo at Los Suenos
The Condos as Los Suenos are a very comfortable stay. This condo in particular is decorated and outfitted well, and it made me feel like I was staying at my grandfathers in Florida, which was a welcomed vibe as I live in Costa Rica now. The grounds are enormous and expansive, like a whole village. It was a bit confusing to navigate without direction or a map but simple enough. There were many restaurants that delivered to the condo like room service which was great and the marina and shops were lovely. The condo has access to a pool area they call a beach club, it’s a 5 minute drive from the condo itself located next to the hotel. It’s a bit confusing what you do and don’t have access to staying on the grounds. To use the hotel amenities you need to buy a day pass but the day we were there they were sold out. It’s a lovely condo. Very expensive for Costa Rica, they charge that much for Los Suenos community amenities.

7 Bedroom Penthouse Ocean & Mountain Views JB31002
This is a perfect place for our group of seven. Awesome and beautiful place. Brittany was great, very responsive and very helpful.
