We enjoyed everything about the property: location on the beach, walkability to restaurants and bars, beautiful grounds, amenities, roominess of the house, kitchen, and pool. It is an ideal property for a relaxing vacation!

Perfect place for our large family with separate suite and large rooms in the main house. In a quiet corner at the end of the beach with easy access to the ocean and other amenities. Helpful staff and security for safety. Would stay again if back in the area. Thanks for having us!

50th anniversary with the whole family. Perfect house, perfect weather, beach front, so many things to do you have to leave some for next time.

Every step of the way the Vrbo app was easy to use and communicate with the property manager. Making payments through the app was simple with a credit card. The staff, Palo, our night security guard a true gentleman. He was respectful of our privacy as well as keeping us all safe while we slept. Marta our house maid is such a sweet lady. Marta does an excellent job of keeping the beach towels fresh, your personal laundry cleaned and dried, rooms made up daily if you want and all the common areas squeaky clean. Tigar is the surf school instructor and works for the property manager. Tigar is great he was our local guide! Having lived in Jaco for the last thirty years he knows everyone any everything about Jaco. If you need or want anything just ask Tigar! My family loved all the staff, including the chefs, so we invited them all to share our meals and adopted them all into our family. If fishing is what you want, captain Roberto and deck hand Alex on the Fish Bones launch on the beach in front of the house an off you go. They put fish in the box!! We had plenty of Bonita and Hamachi sashimi as well as fried and baked red snapper. We hired chef Diego and Melbe to cook our meals and it was amazing!! You tell chef want you want for breakfast lunch and dinner. He and his staff do all the shopping, prep, cook and clean up after each meal. Absolutely worth it!! At the end of each day the chef shows you the grocery receipts and the total for the chef services and you pay in dollars or colenes. Be sure to bring cash with you. The banks and ATMs have very strange rules and limits on what you can withdraw per day. With all that said our family made life long memories and friends while staying in Jaco. We will be back. It really is Pura Vida, the good life!!

Jen and all of the crew were amazing. Mar(housekeeper) and Pablo (security guard) were always there to help with anything we needed! Diego(chef) came to the house and cooked the best meals!!! Fabian(property manager) booked all excursions & transportation. We were spoiled this whole week! I can’t thank Jen and the crew enough! This is a definite MUST book! We were truly spoiled this whole vacation !!

This beautiful property right on the south end of the beach in Jaco is immaculately maintained and provides many excellent features to make your vacation stay unique and enjoyable. The lovely covered patio overlooking the ocean, the sun deck, the pool which although small has a very fun waterfall feature, and the ability to literally walk out of the gate and be on the beach are all fantastic. Our group was made up of my four siblings and spouses (ages 56 to 73) and although we are veterans of VRBO locations across the US, this was our first time internationally. It was also our first time with a housekeeper, security guard, and access to a chef for meals if desired--these were luxuries that were greatly appreciated!! Jen, the property manager we worked with mainly, was fantastic! She helped us with making all of our transportation arrangements, both to and from the airport and for local sightseeing trips, and worked with Chef Diego to plan a first-morning brunch and last-evening dinner which were both incredible. Marta and Pablo, the housekeeper and night guard, were always willing to assist with locating a cab, ordering from a restaurant, suggestions for stores or finding ATM's to replenish our CASH needs for excursions, etc. Some notes for future guests: The surf here makes for a great intro to surfing, but if you are looking for white sandy beaches, this is not it. Unexpectedly made up of volcanic silt, the surface created a muddy mess after each high tide so we never actually went to sit out on the beach. We were surprised by the level of security (gated enclosures, high fences, guards) both at the property and in nearby Jaco--we felt safe but are not used to operating in that kind of environment--perhaps just our novice status in travelling to CR. And finally, as stated in the property description, the kitchen and living room area are not air conditioned, so be prepared for humid, warm conditions outside of your bedrooms (which are cooled.) None of these items kept our time at Joya del Pacifico from being an amazing and memorable time together! Pura Vida!

This place was much better than we imagined. The location is the absolute best. You walk to the beach. And the beach is one of the best beaches I have ever seen; warm water, shallow sand beach—the perfect place for our family to get their first surfing lessons. The property manager arranged for all of our activities. that was another added benefit. You can talk to him when you check-in, and he can arrange everything for you. I recommend hiring Chef Diego for private dining. He is a top-notch chef. Communication with the owner and property manager was seamless. we also had daily, on demand cleaning which was great.

The house is beautiful and the location (to the beach) is unbeatable. Bedrooms are luxurious & comfortable and kept clean by the staff. The owners were fabulous in helping us to get excursions booked and made great recommendations for restaurants and places to see. It was fun to go out and walk on the beach each morning. I was very happy with the trip. Note for those with large groups that there isn't a whole lot of parking (maybe 3 cars +/- ?) and the house is adjacent to Hwy 34 (which gets a lot of traffic - but much of Jaco is situated along there as well). The bedrooms are kept cool; however, the main (common area) is not airconditioned, so if someone has a hard time with the humidity & heat then keep that in mind. The home is adjacent to Club Del Mar - a Great Place to eat, whenever you feel like dining out! We were very happy with our stay and would recommend this home and its owners.
