Absolutely fabulous owners. I was able to check in early and the place was beautiful! I loved the access to the very short walk to Crocs resort. I loved the fact that this condo had plenty of towels and beach chairs and mostly the boogie boards. The riptide was a bit intimidating but had a blast boogie boarding! Thank you for a great stay

The hosts communicated well; we loved the location and the features of the condo. Probably there could be some attention paid to replacing lightbulbs, refreshing 'tired' furniture.

Beautiful place on a stunning beach

This is a gem of a place to stay. You have a beautiful place on a stunning beach, Ron and Kristine were great about the rate, the restaurant referrals and they know all the backstreet local places and the best places for adventures ( monkey tours, hiking to waterfalls, atv off roading and where to watch breath taking sunsets. This location is great and super clean with a pool and an almost a private beach. Thank you and We can’t wait to book this place again!

If you are planning a trip to Jaco, and want to be steps away from the ocean, stay here!! My husband and I used this condo as our “home base” for 3 nights. This condo is well stocked with everything you need! The owner was just a quick text message away! We literally spent hours on the patio enjoying the nice breeze. We would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely Amazing!

Ron and Kristine were such a pleasure to deal with making our stay fantastic! The location is amazing, just far enough away from downtown, it’s very peaceful, yet close enough to town. Ocean views from the condo are amazing, staff was great, very secure and safe. The condo is beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you need. We will definitely be returning.Thank you!!

Beach paradise

This place was exactly as advertised. You can sit outside or inside and hear the ocean all day, and the beach is litterly a few feet from the room. We loved it and may look into buying a unit. The resort next door was not too busy (low season) but nice pool. Jaco is a very safe and friendly place.

Lovely condo!

We had a lovely stay. The condo was comfortable and had everything we needed. So close to the resort next door and you can fall out on the beach. The porch was awesome for coffee in the morning. A couple minor things to improve: Shower pressure was not good. It would have been nice if there were apps or anything (Netflix etc)to make watching TV in English possible.

Perfect location

We stayed here for three nights after a week stay in La Fortuna. The property was very safe and steps away from the beach. The pool was so close and very clean. We were happily surprised at how easy it was to access the Crocs pool which was wonderful. We rented a car and were able to easily find a good place to eat. We would recommend eating breakfast at Mary's Diner. We went there twice and it was delicious each time. The washer and dryer were a wonderful added bonus. Especially since we were coming from La Fortuna with a suitcase full of dirty clothes.

Jaco Vacation

Good location right on the beach. It was nice being able to use Crocs pool but we were not allowed access to their fitness center (had to pay). We never used the pool in front of condo. Condo is older and needs some updates. Dryer needs to be properly vented as it is not. Owners were very kind and helpful when we asked questions.

Steps from the ocean

This beach is the best of the 4 beaches for collecting sea glass since there aren't many shells here! The condo has its own exit through the patio since it's a first floor unit and it's 60 seconds to the beach. This beach is great for walking, has surf lessons and restaurants galore. This town is great for souvenirs and great food. We're a little old for night life but enjoyed our stay and activities (quad tour). The place itself is also amazing with two good sized bedrooms, in unit washer and dryer, huge feeling of space and a full kitchen. You cannot go wrong with this rental!

Great Stay

We really loved our stay. The condo was amazing and had everything you could ever need. The location was fabulous and having Croc's next door for drinks and coffee was a huge plus. We loved having the bikes to ride to the downtown area for breakfast. The only thing we didn't like was the shade that covered the large slider in the living room and bedroom was see-through, particularly in the evening. It was a little uncomfortable at night knowing that someone could look right in a see you, and we had to be sure to change in the bathrooms-curtains would be a quick fix! Check in and out was easy and the washing machine in the unit was useful for washing all our clothes before leaving.

Hi Maria, Thank you for your review! I apologize for not letting you know that the shades are not see through from the outside. You can only see through them from the inside to the outside but no one can see in from the outside. I apologize again as I did not wish you to feel uncomfortable. Warm regards, Kristine

Great place to relax and unwind

We loved having the main floor unit right by the pool with easy access to the beach. The private patio was a great place to read and dine. We appreciated having the fat bikes to ride into Jacó for groceries, restaurants and shopping. The hosts were responsive and friendly. The glasses and cutlery were not totally clean when we arrived but the dishwasher solved that. Having access to Crocs pool was fun. It was a quiet time of year so noise and privacy were not significant for this main floor unit. The beach was nicer than closer to Jaco and the sunsets were beautiful.
