We had a wonderful stay at Shawn’s place in Jacó and would absolutely recommend it! Shawn went above and beyond to make our first visit to Costa Rica easy and enjoyable. The instructions he provided were phenomenal, especially the detailed PDF with food recommendations, things to do, trusted excursion companies, transportation options, and a visual map. Having everything organized in one place made navigating Jacó and planning our activities so much easier.A few small improvements could make the stay even better. The bedroom cooling unit did not cool the room enough for us to sleep comfortably, although someone who prefers warmer temperatures may not have an issue. The living room stayed much cooler, so a pull-out sofa would be a great addition and provide another comfortable sleeping option.A couple of complimentary bottles of water upon arrival would also be a thoughtful touch so guests can get settled without immediately having to go back out. We also would have loved to use the hammock, but it could have used a cleaning before check-in, although we completely understand how difficult outdoor items can be to maintain in a beach environment.Overall, these were minor suggestions compared to our very positive experience. Shawn was an excellent host, and the effort he put into helping his guests enjoy Jacó truly stood out. We would definitely stay again!
