Our stay at Shawn’s condo in Jaco was the perfect way to spend a long weekend in a fun beach town. The condo itself is updated, clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The air-conditioning was cold, the Wi-Fi worked well, and ample space to sprawl out for two of us. We rented a car at the airport, and parking was a breeze at the condo. The location is ideal, as there is a nice pool and hot tubs within the condo compound itself. Just beyond the gates, there is a grocery, café, local soda/bar, and a block away is JACO BEACH. Shawn was always accessible and just an email or phone call away. His recommendations for local attractions were all spot on and helped us pack as much fun into our trip as possible. Plenty of hiking and exploring can be done without the use of a vehicle, but a quick hour drive away takes you to the scenic (read: full of monkeys and sloths!) Manuel Antonio National Park. The bars and restaurants of Jaco offer something for everyone. We were able to find breakfast, lunch, and dinner spots at every price-point easily with Shawn’s map. Every single person we encountered on our trip was so friendly and welcoming to us as tourists, even with our very limited knowledge of Spanish. We would definitely return and would definitely stay longer!
