The space
Casa Matapalo is one of the most private units of Jaco Casitas Rentals, offering beautiful views of the gardens and Jacó’s wetlands. A perfect retreat for nature lovers.

🌿 Access: You’ll need to climb 70 steps from the parking area to reach the house. The view is worth it! (Please consider the physical effort if you have any health conditions).

🏡 The Space:
• Comfortable bedroom with 1 Queen bed, large windows, and a unique feeling of being among the treetops.
• Private balcony with a hammock, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view.
• Air conditioning, fast WiFi, TV, and fan.
• Private bathroom with a small closet (Note: the shower is not heated; the water is fresh due to the tropical climate).
• Open kitchen, perfect for cooking surrounded by nature.
• The house is immersed in the jungle, so it’s common to see raccoons, iguanas, and a variety of insects. You’ll find mosquito nets on each bed and we recommend bringing insect repellent.

🌟 Experience authentic nature without compromising comfort.

Guest access
4x4 Access Only

Inside the property, guests will enjoy complete privacy in their Airbnb. Feel free to stroll through the gardens, relax on the terrace, and immerse yourself in the natural surroundings. From the kitchen, a small path leads to the highest point of the property, where you can enjoy a partial view of the ocean. You’ll find a closed gate that you can open if you’d like to explore further.

Other things to note
Paola (Host) has been practicing pole dance and aerial silks for 10 years, and we have a pole at our house. If you’d like to learn some basics, we can arrange a private lesson. Practicing pole or silks surrounded by nature will be an incredible experience! If you’re already experienced, I’d love to share and train together.

My husband and I live on the property (Casa Mangostan), so we’re usually nearby and available for anything our guests may need. We have dogs that are part of our family, so we hope our visitors don’t mind the pets.

The neighborhood is quiet, though urban growth in Jacó is inevitable. There are several residents in the area, and tourists often visit nearby homes.

HOME MASSAGES – We can arrange for a professional therapist to come to your Airbnb, so you can enjoy a relaxing experience without leaving your space.

If you choose not to rent a car, there are taxi services available from downtown Jacó. Additionally, local express services deliver all kinds of items, from food and pharmacy supplies to groceries, directly to the property.
