Great location

Nice big house, very close to the pool/beach access. Good AC in every room. Lots of beds if you have a large group. The pool table room is nice. The backyard pool area is nice but a bit overgrown. Could have been a bit cleaner in some areas and a few minor items need repair, back door lock and some cabinet doors, nothing that really affected our stay.

Great house/host

The rooms were all stocked with adjustable AC units to keep it cool. Beautiful pool separate from the beach club pool which is nice for privacy. The surf out front is great for short boarding. There are 24hr security guards and a guard shack at the entrance of the community. 5$ Uber to Jaco for great food/grocery stores. Also the food/drinks at the beach club pool is amazing and very relaxing to spend the day. Robert was responsive and happy to answer any questions if needed via VRBO app. Overall a great stay and would be happy to come back! Thank you Rob amd Sarah!

Worst House Nice Block

The resort was great, close to nice beach and clubhouse pool was excellent as well. Unfortunately the rental needed a lot of work, stay was interrupted by a 2 hour maintenance due to large leak in the laundry room that flooded the main floor, upstairs bathroom didn't flush, shower shut off often, sink toilet was clogged all had issues. We killed 2 cockroaches. House dirty in general. Would stay in same resort but never again in that place.

GREAT HOUSE - BAD CUSTOMER Doug is that nightmare renter, that is NOT happy unless is complaining. You can expect him to complain about every little thing, in an effort to extort the owner for discounts and refunds, under the threat of posting a negative review. Do not expect him to respect house rules and treat you home kindly. After 73 positive reviews, there is always 1 bad apple in the bushel.

Bonito lugar

Lugar limpio con mejoras a considerar, excelente comunicación con el administrador, seguro pero podría ser más aún una noche un vendedor de camarones y pescado llegó a tocar a nuestra puerta situación por seguridad no nos gustó deberían de ser más cuidadosos de quién ingresa al lugar,y el dueño podría ser más flexible con la hora de entrada y salida (esto sin cobrar un costo extra),la cocina podría estar más equipada y necesita un extractor de grasa además solamente un aire acondicionado para la planta baja es poco .

Gracias Adriana por sus recomendaciones, el vendedor de camarones (como ud lo llama) tiene más de 10 años de ingresar y proveer productos frescos a este residencial así como a nuestros clientes, la hora de entrada y salida está en las reglas y debieron tomarlo en cuenta antes de reservar, ya que debemos tener protocolos para bienestar de nuestros clientes.

Very nice clean home. Well equipped and spacious. We really like the very short walk to the beach and pool/clubhouse. Good place for surfers. Had a massage by the beach, the ladies were really nice and the massage was very relaxing. Would recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Rob & Sarah

Host profile image
Originally from Canada, I first came to Costa Rica on a vacation 30 years ago, instantly fell in love with my wife, the country, the people, and never looked back.

My wife Sarah and I spend many weekends here, with our 3 kids, and friends.

My favorite part of Costa Rica is the Hermosa Palms, which I discovered when I rented one of the homes that I currently own. This occurred 6 years ago. Up to now, I have acquired another 3 more homes in the same neighborhood. That’s how much I love the place.

Naturally, I love to travel and see different places, study their culture and spend time with the people I encounter.

Besides traveling, I also enjoy hiking, running, and any type of fitness really. If you are into similar things and like to spend time in a natural setting, you will love everything Costa Rica has to offer. Some of the best national parks, hiking trails, and untouched beaches are just minutes away.

I’d love to share my best running/hiking areas with you.

Looking forward to hearing from you
