We absolutely loved staying here! Jackie is an amazing host that can help you with anything. The location is perfect, on a quiet street a short walk to playa carillo and a small town with groceries, coffee and restaurants. The highlight was looking out of our back window at sunset with the silhouette of a family of howler monkeys playing in the trees!

Jackie is so delightful and helpful as a host! Met us at the apartment and gave a tour and helpful advice for restaurants, hiking etc… the space is lovely and well equipped with everything we needed…. Beach chairs, cooler, binoculars for bird and monkey watching from the deck and front. Very clean and well kept. Playa Carrillo town and beach are so beautiful. Highly recommend this rental for a peaceful and relaxing area of CostaRica.
Sunset from the apartment window! Spectacular!

Wonderful Villa!!

We stayed at Jackie’s beautiful villa for two nights and can’t say enjoy wonderful things about our time there. Jackie was super responsive with communication prior to our arrival. She was very welcoming during our stay and recommended great restaurants walking distance from villa. The villa is decorated beautifully and the views were our favorite!! We will definitely stay here again next time we are in this part of Costa Rica!!

Heaven on earth

We had an amazing stay. The apartment was perfect in every way. From the ocean/jungle views to the functional and beautiful layout, to the proximity to the beach, we could not have asked for more.Jackie was a wonderful host, very responsive, gracious, and helpful. We fell in love with Puerto Carrillo. If we don’t find a way to buy our own little slice of heaven out there, we will definitely return for another stay here!

Beautiful property with beautiful views!

This is one of those rare properties that no matter how many pictures you look at, it's more than what you imagine! Private and spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and the views, the views of the ocean, sunsets and gardens are amazing! Howler monkeys in the morning and more birds and butterflies than you can count. At the end of a quiet street and walking distance to the beach, restaurants and the little grocery. Secure parking area too! Jackie is the perfect host, quick to communicate and so helpful with activity suggestions, the best restaurants or just some extra ice! We highly recommend staying at Jackies place if you're ever in Puerto Carrillo!

Perfect getaway for newly empty nesters

We are pretty familiar with the area and have stayed at one of Jackie's properties before. The apartment is clean and has all of the amenities you may need. Location was perfect for us! Close enough to the beach and restaurants but gave us the opportunity to get our steps in. Jackie and Rick are awesome! They are there for you for whatever questions you may have. The location is plenty private if that is what you want or if your happen to meet them for an afternoon beer. They go above and beyond and treat you like family! Cheers

Perfection in every way

Perfecto! We were greeted by Rick, who was super friendly. He gave us a tour of the little studio apartment. Everything was immaculately clean. It was comfortable and inviting. The view of the ocean was magnificent. It was a short little walk to the beach and to several restaurants. They were available anytime we had any questions and made us feel right at home. There is nothing that they could have done to have made our stay any more perfect! We will be back!!

It was a great

Jackie, Thank you for the wonderful accommodations during our recent stay. The apartment was perfect and your assistance with transportation and local activities was a great help to us. As bird watchers your property was perfect. Mornings we birded from the open windows looking toward the ocean. In the evening we sat on the back patio and saw many beautiful birds in the tree and bushes. A memory that will be a lifetime birding highlight was seeing the Scarlet Macaws flying below us out the dining area window so the view was of their multicolored wings. It was magnificent. Best wishes to you. Thanks again for everything.
