About Stephanie Craig
Have you ever had Moose Tracks Ice Cream? Our owners - Wally and June Blume - are the developers of this flavor and many others which can be purchased in several grocery stores from coast to coast in the US. They have been coming to Costa Rica since 2005 and purchased their condos at BE in 2007. They love the beauty of Costa Rica and the gentleness of the people here. "You can plan to be as busy or as low key as you’d like, which is the beauty of vacationing here. It is a thrill to wake up every morning and see the beautiful Pacific Ocean in Jaco Bay. It is like a symphony for your eyes". They own several companies and their lives tend to be pretty busy in the US, so they love their time away here in Jaco. Wally plays golf and they both love to read and spend time with friends and family here. Since their time in Jaco, they have friends from different cultures as they enjoy people they have met from all over the world. They love being able to reconnect from year to year and catch up on their lives.
Stephanie and John met Wally and June in 2009 when the Craig's moved to Costa Rica full time and became quick friends. In 2012, the Blume's invited us to manage their penthouses for them. We had very similar life and business philosophies, so it was an easy decision. Since that time, we have had the incredible privilege of working for the the best employers one could imagine! We love what we do - representing the country we love, taking care of our fantastic guests and being property managers!
Stephanie Craig purchased this condo in 2007
Why Stephanie Craig chose Jaco
Wally and June used to go to Florida every year to escape the snow from the Mid West. The weather in Florida became pretty unpredictable and they spent several winters in Key West with temperatures in the mid 50’s. They have friends who had been coming to Costa Rica and suggested they try it. The first year here made believers out of them and they’ve continued to return. They’ve traveled to many places in the world. They love the fact that they can enjoy this climate while not having to travel so far from home. There are so many activities to enjoy here that there is something for everyone. They have had friends come to visit who love bird watching. From their balcony, they saw 44 varieties of birds and were thrilled. It isn’t unusual to sit on the balcony and see Macaws in pairs or groups fly by. They are so colorful and absolutely beautiful as they do “a fly by” in front of the balcony.
What makes this condo unique
There are many beautiful condos in Jaco - and this is certainly no exception. In all of Jaco, there are not too many penthouses, and of those, not many of them have an additional balcony and views like this! So, we think that the best features of this ocean view penthouse are the views from the covered rooftop balcony! A spiral staircase will give you access from the main balcony to this covered rooftop balcony, where you will enjoy INCREDIBLE views of Jaco Beach and the Pacific Ocean to the west AND a majestic mountain range to the south... STUNNING!
Another unique feature is the full tub in the master bathroom. Bathtubs are very unusual in Costa Rica and this one is BEAUTIFUL!!!
While you are here, you will have the opportunity to have personal, personal, personal service! While you are in our home, it is important to us that you FEEL at home.
Welcome!
Guestbook comments from the manager
Our extended family of eight stayed in two Bahia Encantada penthouses. To start with Stephanie and John are a delight! The condos are super clean and updated. The interiors are nicely furnished. The complex is well maintained and the pool is spotless and just beautiful with several areas to swim in of different depths. There is even a separate children's pool and swim up bar area that makes for the perfect picnic spot. John and Stephanie let you know from the start that they are there to help make your stay wonderful and they mean it. My daughter hurt her ear at a prior location and John and Stephanie drove us to a pharmacy and got her the proper care she needed and then kept checking that she was okay. The beach area is beautiful and fun to watch surfers and search for shells. The waves were too rough for swimming or children this weekend, but that's okay because the pool is great.

True Beachfront Paradise
If you've come across this listing, book it asap! My group and I (2 couples and 1 single; ages: 30-50) had a truly perfect getaway vacation. We stayed for 6 nights in the G-5 condo at Bahia Encantada last week. Let me tell you, the view from the rooftop balcony is worth it all! Stephanie and John are great. They are so helpful in making sure you've got everything and are enjoying your time there. As 5 people sharing one space, we never felt crowded! One concern I had, as my first time in Costa Rica, was security. This was never a thought at Bahia Encantada. There is a front gate with a full time security guard as well as a full time pool area guard (since the pool is right on the public beach). These guys were so friendly and helpful with any request we had. There is a restaurant right next door called Clarita's which is a MUST! It's so convenient on the longer exploration days to just walk over and catch some dinner and the sunset. I can't say enough good things about our stay! Absolutely unforgettable!! We will be back!
Beautiful condo on the beach
This was my second time staying in this condo. Stephanie and John were both extremely pleasant and helpful each time. They had just gotten new Wifi installed, and when we told them at check out that it was spotty, they assured us they would get someone out the same day and encouraged us to call right away if anything was amiss the next time. The condo is very clean, well maintained, well stocked with helpful items, and the views are great! Highly recommend it.
Awesome
Stephanie and John are great people to deal with and a joy to meet ! Very helpful with any questions you have . They go out of there way to make sure you have a great experience. The place is everything it shows in pictures. It's spectacular !
Amazingly perfect!
We stayed at Bahia Encantada for 12
Nights in January 2017. The condo is amazing - looks just like the pictures. We loved sitting on both balconies which have awesome views of the beach, ocean, sunset. The kitchen is set up great for cooking your own meals and is so close to All of the restaurants in Jaco if you'd rather eat out. Property Managers John and Stephanie were very responsive. We didn't experience any challenges during our stay but they were available for any small questions, making us feel right at home. The location was perfect, we honestly can't say enough about this property. We will be back.
Family Vacation
I would like to say thank you to Stephanie and John for everything. They make you feel welcome from the beginning to the end. When you arrive at the condo you are greeted down stair with open arms and they take you to the condo. The condo is exactly the way you see it in the picture. As for the view it is amazing and the location was perfect. Staying at this condo made me feel at home. Any problem you have John was there right away to help you as soon as possible. The town is very close by so you can walk to the town or just pay a small taxi fee of $2 to $3 to and from the town. Security is 24 hours at the gate which make you feel safe. Another thing that stand out was the way Stephanie give you a personal cell phone to walk with to call local numbers and a house phone to call any where in the US for free. There lot of activities to do and lots of food to eat. One of the places that we ate at that was great is the TACO BAR which we ate there twice. The people in Jaco are very friendly and nice and make you feel welcome to the town. My family and I had such an amazing time in Costa Rica that we wasn't ready to come back.
Thank you,
Stephanie and John
Beautiful beach condo
My family had a great time at this condo. There were 5 of us spanning three generations and its' three bedrooms were perfect. We really enjoyed the rooftop balcony for listening to the surf. What a relaxing way to spend some time. We used the condo as a base location for exploring the surrounding area. There are plenty of restaurants and souvenir shops in Jaco. Manuel Antonio is about 1.5 hours away. To reach the national park it is an easy drive; also easy to travel for rafting, ziplines and other activities. John and Stephanie are so friendly and were great to work with. Our biggest complaint was the noise from Clarita's and other bars (bad karaoke) that lasted past midnight and early morning roosters.
