The Layout, Location and Accessibility • Accessibility: Lots of stairs—not suitable for mobility challenges.
•The Vibe: Because of the location of the main highway, road and traffic noise, including trucks is present and part of the environment.
• Beach Access: While the beach is only 1,000 meters away (8 min walk), we recommend a 2-minute drive. The road is active with traffic and lacks sidewalks, so driving is much easier with kids or gear! Parking near the beach is easily available, making access quick and stress-free.

These service providers may briefly access outdoor areas of the property during your stay. We always aim to minimize disruption and appreciate your understanding.
Utilities & Comfort • Utilities: In our tropical region, brief utility interruptions can occur. We appreciate your patience!. We will do our best to resolve any issues promptly.
• Drinking Water: For your health and comfort, we highly recommend using bottled water for drinking and cooking.

We were looking for a nice place for a week for our group in Costs Rica to beat the winter blues and this was the perfect house. Both houses had their charm. Most importantly, the place was clean, comfortable and safe. Hosts were very proactive and took care of our needs.Close to restaurants, shops and local attractions. Overall, Great value!We hope to return next year.

Stayed there for 4 nights, not as advertised on vrbo. We were group of 8 , there where enough beds to sleep but all bathrooms are not in good condition, we barley had hot water during the stay, if someone is taking shower in one bathroom then you have to wait for that person to finish the shower otherwise no hot water in the bathrooms, i left msg to property manager and she never replied, house is big but not enough space to seat for group. These property is completely rundown. I have been booking online for 15 years never had these poorly maintained property. For the size of house pool is very small. Care taker helen was really good though very supportive. I wouldn’t recommend to any of my friends or family for these property.
Our stay at this beautiful beach house in Jaco, Costa Rica, was everything we hoped for and more. With three families and 12 people, the house was clean, comfortable, spacious enough, and perfectly located just minutes from the beach.Ken & Laura, the hosts, were fantastic—quick to respond to any questions and attentive to every need. She even sent help promptly for a couple of small issues. I suggest that you communicate on WhatsApp. Ken was also proactive and ensured our stay was smooth.While there was some ambient traffic noise, it was minor and never impacted our experience. We were in and out most of the day. The house felt safe and secure, giving us peace of mind as we relaxed and enjoyed our time together.Thank you, Laura and Ken, for your exceptional hospitality! We will be back.
