10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2024
The house was exactly as described with plenty of sleeping and common spaces for our two families of 4. The location had great access to activities (parks, ATV, zip lines). The beach club pool and bar were a great bonus. Rob was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to issues and questions. We would definitely come back.

Very well maintained and clean property
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2023
Rob’s property is south of Jaco, and beach adjacent. We called it the banana house-only because 3yr old liked the yellow property. It is in a quiet community, near a 4-5 mile Long Beach that has waves for days.
The community pool and YoYos beach bar are awesome and so friendly for guests.
So robs place is beautiful; only thing negative about it: there is a smell that is akin to underlying mold. You quickly got nose-blind to it, but it still exists.
The house has nice furnishings and when AC is needed (always) it is very refreshing and cold.
We were a party of 10, plenty of seating and plates and whatnot.
Beds aren’t your special ones from home-but they sleep good-couches are cozy for relaxing, outdoor furniture is cozy for relaxing in the morning or evening.
The pergola perch on too has amazing views in the morning and it’s so nice to have breakfast there.
The bad: so that smell is musty like the was AC on then abruptly off and mold growing as result. EVERYTIME we entered the home it smelled “funky” then quickly go away. Not sure if there is mold-it just had a noticeable odor that quickly goes away…Again it’s probably difficult to avoid given the ultra humid climate….but it does exist. The neighbor had 3 dogs that bark constantly, if you’re outside they bark, if you’re inside they bark. Nice dogs-just bark constantly and they tend to ignore the barking. It was annoying but it is what it is. His place is otherwise amazing and we enjoyed everything else.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2022
We arrived at the property after a long drive to discover that we were given an incorrect password to gain access. We had groceries that needed to be refrigerated and four hot kids. We sat outside while my husband walked to the guard station and after 45 minutes of waiting he received a code that worked. We entered a very hot and stinky house. The area to the left of the front door had a strong smell of urine. The downstairs bedroom had a broken AC and, much to our surprise, a toilet with feces in it. After some back and forth communication and various people in the house and some installation noise, power tools and banging there was a functioning AC in the downstairs bedroom. However the property manager never followed up with us about the AC situation. After the house had cooled off the smells weren’t as noticeable. The house is big, plenty of places to sleep, has a nice pool table that we used quite a bit and it’s in a safe community at the end of a long unfinished road. However, there are problems. The house is quite dated, the furniture and rugs are pretty worn, the WiFi is in and out, and there are ZERO beach/pool towels so be prepared to bring your own. But the worst thing for us by far is the master bathroom. I’ve included a couple photos. The height of the mirror is comical but the shower/bath situation is not. We each used it once before deciding not to ever use it again and nicknaming it the “shower of death.” It’s that bad. There are slippery ceramic steps up to get in, then a BIG step down to the bottom of the tub with nothing to hold on to. There is a thin clear piece of plastic instead of a shower curtain to try and keep water from splashing out of the tub. You cannot hold on to it to balance yourself while getting in. It’s thin. Water gets on the ceramic steps so when you want to exit the shower there are slippery wet steps waiting for you to descend. Nothing to hold onto except for your dear life while you exit the shower of death. This master bath needs attention.
We did not try the little pool outside or cook anything so we cannot attest to the functioning. I will add that the pool area is lovely. The first day we were there the credit card machines were down and they were only accepting cash. The second day we were there the store, restaurant/bar was closed. Lastly, at the black sand beach in front of the pool you will not see many guests in the water—but you will see plenty of surfers. That’s because it’s very dangerous.
