Jun 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Beach House! My family, friends and I had a wonderful time in this Jaco beach house. The location was perfect for our surfers and all the rooms were fantastic! Attached bathrooms for all but one room provided a luxury that can't be understated.The large, well stocked kitchen and super long dinning table made cooking and eating meals a joy. The daily cleaner made cleanup easy. The nightly security guard was incredibly helpful and friendly. I would recommend this house to anyone travelling to the Jaco area and would love to return. ![View of the beach house walking towards the town of Jaco](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ae5b4722-79fb-468d-b71f-ef318c2b61ba-1750780172355.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View of the beach from the house](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/52fba57c-7a92-47d3-9589-7014a1c03f51-1750780171815.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View of the beach from the house](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9d9284a6-e709-42e3-a4d1-e9d914d9b01b-1750780171757.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Patti M.

The staff greatly exceeded our expectations. They were courteous, patient, and helpful. Most spoke better english than we do spanish. They were more than eager to attend to any need or request we had. The location on the beach in Jayco is gorgeous. Easy to get to yet secure. Tons of trips/excursions close by which the staff most professionally coordinated for us. The chef prepared meals were delicious!

The beach is literally right outside the gates, and the views from most rooms in the house are amazing. We stayed here after a cruise from Panama, and the location was perfect. Jen and Fabian, the property managers, helped us set up everything, from the shuttles to and from the airport, to the baby cribs and helping us get groceries and arrange tours. I didn’t know enough about Costa Rica to even know what we were looking for, and this was a lucky find! We all loved our stay here. I highly recommend Joya Del Pacifica! ##### Sherry S.

The boys all loved their surf lessons with Cali he was out in front of the house daily. There’s a spot up the beach you can rent boogie boards or book a fishing excursion. The property manager helped arrange our trip to the monkey mangrove tour (a must do)and set up our zip lining trip. The hike up to El Miro was incredible. This was an amazing trip! Pablo and Marta are amazing staff that are on site daily. Thank you Jen and Mike this is a trip we will never forget. ##### Holly B. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David S.

We had events scheduled for almost every day, pure enjoyment. But the best part was our "home" in Jaco. Plenty of room for 12, right on the surfing end of the beach with a pool for family fun. We loved the place so much, we had most of our dinners right here. Within walking distance to the town and lovely shops and eateries. Marta kept our place spotless and yet was unobtrusive.

The staff at the house were great as well, always someone on site so never to worry. There was a maid that went through the house and cleaned up every morning.

We stayed at this beautiful house for a week and we don't have enough words to describe how amazing and incredible it was, beginning with the owner Jen who was very generous, helpful and accommodating and ending with the house staff whom are very kind and lovely people. The house is extremely beautiful and well kept, with and amazing view of the whole Jaco Beach Bay that included a breath taking view of the sunset. The location couldn't be any more perfect since you are literally on the sand, just step out of the back gate and take 20 steps and your feet are wet. We could't be happier with our stay and would very much recommend this house over any other property I've ever stayed in. ##### carlos l.

This is a beautiful property exactly as described and even more impressive when you actually are there. Marta and Pablo were wonderful, especially to my grandchildren. We had Marisol prepare two dinners, our first night and after a long day at Manuel Antonio park. Both meals were exceptional, especially the salad the first night, and it was great to arrive tired and not have to worry about meal preparation. Having the ocean steps from the house made it easy to swim every day! I would highly recommend Joya de Pacifico for any large group and especially for families. ##### Clifford F.

The property is amazing and beautiful. We were well taken care of by security and housekeeping which are there ALL the time. There was a slight communication issue, but that is on us not speaking Spanish. Google translate works wonders. The room air conditioners truly work. We have been in tropical locations where it never really gets cool (or even cold). Not, here. Outside is hot and humid, but room temperatures are great. The main master bedroom is the size of a small apartment. There is plenty of room in this location. We could not recommend this property more! ##### Brian S.

The house, staff, amenities, and extras were everything and more than we could have ever wanted. We had surfboard brought strait to the house, excursions arranged with ease, and were able to enjoy a stress free and wonderful vacation every minute of the trip! Every single detail was taken care of with extreme professionalism and kindness. Having stayed in MANY luxury vacation homes around the world, this location has easily placed itself among the best options out there! We could not be more happy and grateful for such a wonderful adventure and we will certainly be looking forward to a repeat trip in the future! THANK YOU AND PURA VIDA! 🤙🏼 -Dr True ##### Conner T.

I wanted to take the time to write about our experience recently with Jen and her team including this magnificent property! We are lucky to offer our family experiences and Costa Rica hit the mark! The home is not beachfront, IT’s IN THE BEACH!! During high tide seeing the waves come to the steps and crash against the deck area was just awesome! The house is immaculate and maintained by amazing staff who were kind and gracious to our family. We didn’t want to venture with little kids into town for meals so Chef Jose had helped with magnificent meals all day during our stay! This was by far one of our most amazing family trips and we all throughly enjoyed the visit. Many thanks to Jen and Team for flawlessly coordinating every detail of the visit. This is beyond all inclusive! It is PURA VIDA! Until next time!! ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### John V.

The ice-maker never seemed to produce ice like should, and the refrigerator portion didn't keep the beverages very cold. We did notice on the freezer side, that isn't wasn't sealing properly when the door was shut, so water was leaking out of the bottom. I would definitely look into getting someone out there to do a routine maintenance and look over the entire unit. Other than that, we had a great time. The on-site staff were very accommodating when we needed something, and the location was perfect! The general consensus from all the guys, is they would definitely come back. We had great time! Thanks John ##### John V.

Absolutely would rent again!! Excellent communication with the owner who helped us to navigate all the finer points of traveling during COVID and with a list of activities, restaurants and chefs. Fabian is your transport guy and having Marisol cook on arrival day is key! She also cooked us a great brunch for after surfing! If you are wanting to learn to surf, this is the place! Tigre and Gilbert of Tigre's Bob Marley Surf School is The Best! They began instruction on our back patio and we walked right out the back gate to the ocean and ages 17 to 50+ were all successful! The only negative is that a lot of loud trucks pass on the road on the back side of the house and the appliances are needing updated. - the dishwasher doesn't work, stovetop heats wonky, grill overheats and only the top coil heats on the countertop oven. Fortunately Marta is there daily to help keep all clean! Also most want to be paid in cash/dollars so bring a lot more than you think you need (plus tips for many). There is an ATM in Mas por Menos grocery (excellent place to shop) that gives you dollars but that was $10 in fees per several chunks of money withdrawn. Downtown Jaco is easy to get to with many great restaurants! You will love it! ##### Karen B.

I 'm not the type that posts reviews, but when I do it's either very bad or absolutely AMAZING.. The house, location and staff was beyond amazing and deserve the highest of reviews. Here's what we loved about this house: 1) Location: doesn't get better, it's located on the south end of Jaco Beach with amazing views, no neighbors, lots of privacy and right on the beach. Getting to the house was very easy and it was only a quick 5 min drive or a nice 20 min walk on the beach to the town. 10/10! 2) Cleanness: The house was SPOTLESS! All of the furniture, sheets, furnishings, appliances are brand new.. Not to mention that there was a maid available that cleaned and even did our laundry daily. 3) The house: This house is HUGE! We were a party of 10 and had plenty of space. The bathrooms are larger than my Chicago apartment. Everything has been recently remodeled and you can tell that no expense has been spared. The are 2 master bedrooms/suites, each with a private bathroom (we had to fight for them) and 3 other decent size bedrooms also with private bathrooms. The private patio over looking the private beach is breath taking! The house has all modern creature comforts with AC, American Cable, even a safe. 4) The service: Huge shout out to Nate, Stephanie, our security guard Padro and our maid Marta. They were very friendly and extremely helpful. They made us feel like royalty, we are very thankful to have them! Whatever you needed, they made it happen.. Transportation, food, booking adventures, doing your laundry, grocery shopping.. anything! Without this A team, our trip wouldn't have been as enjoyable.. Thank you for all your services! I can't wait to be back!!!! ##### moe L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Soren W. Mar 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Jaco Beach Property 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!! ##### Soren W. Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deb P. Jan 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Gathering in Costa Rica 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! ##### Deb P. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim S.
