Beachfront Residence in the Center of Jaco JBV3
David’s place was great! You cannot beat the location and view. We were so thankful we chose this place, it was close to everything and he is a great host. We’d love to come back!

Dream House with Panoramic Views Playa Herradura
Spectacular views and very well appointed. Master suite was fantastic. Development was very private and secluded. We would recommend Fio’s place.

Condo Jaco Bay Resort A2
Excellent and beautiful place, very organized, safe and clean easy access, close to the beach, restaurants and supermarkets. Don Ricardo is very friendly. Recommended

Premier Oceanfront Retreat, Direct Beach Access
This was hands down one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed! It felt as though we were the only ones there! Everything in the condo was wonderful. When we do return to Costa Rica, we will stay here again! It truly made us feel like royalty! Fantasy Island at his finest.! Loved it! Great Host!

Playa Mantas | 7th Floor | Sea View | QUEEN BED |
Lovely apartment with an amazing view. Pamela is very friendly and communicative. We would have loved to stay longer!

Beachfront Scenic Luxury
Wow!!! A perfect stay ! Beyond Expectations! I had an absolutely amazing time at this Airbnb! From the moment I arrived, Yuri was there to help for a smooth check in process. Everything was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as pictured (if not better). That view in photos is a must see in person because WOW!! The host Yuri went above and beyond to make sure I felt welcome—super responsive, friendly, and thoughtful with all the little touches that made a big difference. The location was ideal—quiet, safe, and close to everything I needed. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and I slept like a dream. Every detail, from the well-stocked kitchen to the cozy living area, and laundry room set up showed real care and quality. I honestly didn’t want to leave and would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable, and memorable stay. Thank you Yuri & Pura Vida !!

Esmerald Paradise 17th floor ocean view
Our family of four had a great weekend at Andrea's place. The view from the 17th Floor was amazing. We had three great sunsets. From the balcony we could watch the scarlet macaws soaring from the mountains down to the beach. The Playa Esmeralda beach club was about a 5 minute walk from the apartment. It has direct beach access to Playa Manta. Our kids played all day on the beach and in the pools. We highly recommend and would return again.

Beachfront property in Jacó
Thomas was very communicative right from beginning. From local recommendations very detailed instructions. The balcony had great ocean views and mountains views. And place is off the main strip so no disturbance from noise. And the bed was so comfortable.

Pop House with private pool at Ciudad del Mar Jacó
Lovely place, private and with a good location. Hosts were kind and helpful. Good internet speed for those looking to work remotely.

Entire Modern Hotel Steps to Beach Fast WiFi Pool
The host was extremely responsive. We loved the used of Hotel Jaco’s pool, restaurant, room service, & beach access.

Beach front house private pool Esterillos Jacó
We had the loveliest time at this beachfront house. The pool is gorgeous - not too warm or cold. It was so refreshing to relax in the pool and stare at the waves. The house is in the best part of Esterillos, right in front of the “mermaid” and the tide pools. The house is well designed and makes use of all the spaces. It was clean and well equipped. You can also walk to the nearby store and there are a few good restaurants just a block or two away walking along the beach. It was an amazing place to share with family, we will be back!

OceanFront Community 3BR Beach House Steps to Sand
I feel so lucky I got to stay here. This home is located in a private, beach front community with other travelers and locals. The pool was beautiful with a swim up bar and macaws flying over our heads and hanging out in the nearby trees. The home was beautiful and very clean, it was easy to feel at home and get a good night’s rest. The home is beautifully designed yet very cozy. The host was awesome and provided us a list of local food, activities, and more! They didn’t miss a beat. I highly recommend choosing this home for your stay in Costa Rica. Also, Jaco and the surrounding areas are so extremely beautiful. This was the most incredible trips of my life, everyone I met was so cool and friendly, the food was amazing, and the wildlife was breathtaking. If you have the opportunity, please don’t pass it up!

Casa Colina - Amazing House Surrounded by Nature
Everything was perfect! The location and the house all met our expectations. Danny & the team were always kind and approachable. When we found that wasps were building a nest at the house, the team was there within an hour and the issue was resolved immediately. The pool was clean and in the best condition. We had the best vacation and would be happy to come back!

Charming Luz del Mar House with a Private Pool
The location is a private, peaceful and quiet residential area. Communication with José was excellent and quick. The house is well decorated and very complete. We liked the pool very much.

House with pool near Punta Leona beach
What a beautiful place, we felt right at home, everything was nice, clean, organized. And the service is a 1000, we hope to return soon. Highly recommended!

Casa Tortuga
Beautiful home right on the beach with amazing host who was always right there to assist when needed. The home was immaculate and beds very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. The living room was a great relaxing spot and my favourite was the patio table overlooking the pool. We loved this home and you can tell the owner takes pride in hosting. We will be back at the first opportunity . Highly recommended. Thank you for an amazing few days!

Beautiful Beachfront Condo! Just 30 Ft from sand
Very nice place in front of the beach

7 Bedroom Penthouse Ocean & Mountain Views JB31002
This is a perfect place for our group of seven. Awesome and beautiful place. Brittany was great, very responsive and very helpful.

Ocean View Steps from the Beach and Pools
WOW - WOW - WOW! This place is SPECTACULAR! The view is outstanding and the beach is pristine. There are LOTS of scarlet macaws at the beaches and there beach is lined with shade trees. The place is small, but a bit larger than the pictures indicate. The place is decorated beautifully and the housekeeper is outstanding. Isabel is super helpful and responsive. I wish we had more time here (we will stay longer next time). Highly recommend!

Escape to Paradise Luxury Condo in Front of Jaco Beach
I was driving south and needed a place to stay last minute and Josep responded within 1 minute with my question which was great. We were traveling with two cars and there was no issue with parking. I think the listing says 1 car space available but there was room for two which was what we needed. Thank you.

Playa Mantas | Sea View | QUEEN BED | A/C | 200MB
Great spot to stay at, can’t wait to get back there!

New Front Row Oceanfront at Pacific Point w/Gym
We had a great time at the apartment, which was exactly as described. The building is brand new and the unit has good wi-fi, cold (and necessary) A/C and fans, new appliances, comfortable beds, and decent soundproofing. The unit directly faces the ocean so most of the Jaco nightlife noise is avoided other than from the beach below. The building appears to be almost exclusively vacation rentals, so has a feel more like a hotel than an Airbnb - not a bad thing, just an observation. It's a quick short block walk to the main Jaco street with restaurants and shopping. The beach view is incredible from the unit and also the rooftop, though you almost don't need to go up there since you're on the 11th floor anyway (elevators were busy but reliable). Overall we were very happy with our stay and appreciated the hosts' responsiveness especially when the building unexpectedly lost water for several hours (not a common occurrence). Pool was also awesome and never to busy even on a holiday.

Luxury tropical sanctuary with ocean views
Excellent choice to enjoy the best beaches in the area. The apartment is spacious, has an excellent view and is in a convenient location to access the beaches and restaurants in the area. Highly recommended to purchase the pass to enjoy the Punta Leona club.

New listing! Stunning views, fifth floor apartment
Great condo overlooking Playa Blanca with amazing ocean views and large balcony to enjoy it. Family enjoyed the pool and waterslide as well as the ability to explore the area on a golf cart we rented. Bit of a drive in and out of Punta Leona to get to restaurant’s and other activities but worth access to a great beach and view.
