The host was amazing and the house layout is very cool. I will most certainly stay there again. Anything you need is within walking distance but we did get a golf cart to get around in and kept it inside the gate. We can't say enough good words about this house and especially the host.

Christmas 2023

We had a great time at Casa de Barco for Christmas! The host was so helpful with everything! We had 3 adults and 3 teenagers and the set up of the house was lerfect for us. It's within walking distrance to town and the beach. Jaco is a cool little town with great resteraunts and bars. All of our excursions picked us up from the house and taxi's are everywhere so I would fargo a rental car.

From arriving to the airport our host Robert was on it. He arrange our transportation from the airport to our Villa. The driver he got was was very professional and went over and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed before he dropped us off at our location. When we arrived at our Villa my group was wowed on how clean and beautiful the property was. It had everything we needed including a full size Fridge with a freezer. Upon arrival Robert checked up on us and made us feel comfortable since it was our first time in Jacó. He ensured us if we needed anything we is reachable. He schedule housekeeping to clean after us on a daily basis of course this was extra but it was very cheap and worth it. Ty Robert for the great hospitality and definitely will be back and will recommend this property. So to anyone looking for a villa in Jaco this is the best place to book.

Very filthy, plenty of issues with the property

Please stay away from this property, when it rained the roof was leaking and flooded the property, the gate to the property was not working so had to manually push open the door and close when ever we had to leave, there was no internet, it says a whole house but actually it is a 3 apartment unit with no connections to each unit, there was no hot water in the showers, lot of roaches in the house/////

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Jul, 2024
To be totally honest to all readers we do recommend and insist to read previous reviews. We feel this is tremendously exaggerated for the only purpose of requesting 2 nights reimbursement out of 4. We did offer a reasonable compensation which was refused still claiming 2 nights which we denied. In the lights of what transpired we already have declined this group of any future rentals. Property was not flooded nor fitly never did in the past ever. we do have pictures of one light droppin a few drops of water form a ceiling light in a corner of the master bedroom. These guest came on a friday late at night and on ending tropical storm which is typical weather at this time of the year in Costa Rica. The main gate wouldn't open electrically but open perfectly manually with very little effort. We were advised of the leak and the internet outage on Saturday morning, we immediately called our internet provider where we got put a on the list and got attended on the sunday, due the volume of calls following the tropical storm. The internet was restored then. The main gate was restore on Sunday and the roof leak addressed as well. Never advised of no hot water... We did everything we could to get things fixed as soon as it was possible and did have all the issues fixed on the Sunday, basically in more or less 24hrs, more or less, from when it was reported to us. This is unfortunate, weather was out of our control but did our very best efforts to resolve all issues.
