Casa Encanto, with a private pool & ocean view! - Houses for Rent in Jaco, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

It has the best view. It's a quiet place, and you can feel the peace of the breeze and the sound of the sea. A beautiful place to spend time as a family. We'll be back 😍

Tiene la mejor vista, es un lugar tranquilo y se siente la paz de la brisa y el sonido del mar. Un lugar hermoso para pasar en familia. Volveremos 😍

I recommend this place 100%. It's as shown in the photos, and it's very safe. A spectacular view, and as a bonus, you can see several animals nearby. The place has all the amenities. The hosts respond quickly to any questions. It is important to read the rules and instructions before arriving.

Recomiendo este lugar 100%, es tal y como aparece en las fotos, es muy seguro. Una vista espectacular, como plus, se pueden ver varios animales en los alrededores. El lugar cuenta con todas las comodidades. Los anfitriones responden rápido ante cualquier duda. Importante leer las reglas e indicaciones antes de llegar.

Beautiful home surrounded by lots of nature. The view was incredible! The neighbors had 3 bird homes for Scarlet Macaws which made this experience 10x better. The hosts were amazing, responsive and understanding. Overall, the house was well worth the relaxing experience it provides! Future renters: -As others have stated, the country as a whole tends to have power outages and we had three the first day. First one lasted a few hours which was quite inconvenient and the last two were just a few minutes. -The jacuzzi nor the pool is heated which was our fault for not clarifying beforehand. -The house does not have backyard beach access. The walk to the beach is a very steep set of hills, I would recommend renting a golf cart because you can't park your car at the Punta Leona Club beach parking lot nearest to the house. -No AC in living room/kitchen

Great place to stay only downfall was its far from any restaurants or activates

Thanks to the host I had a great trip. They were proactive in my trip planning before and during my trip. Their house was exactly as described. The views were great and I really had an opportunity to become one with nature. Thanks Carolina and Guillermo, Pura Vida!!!

Loved the place, would recommend to anyone.

We enjoyed the house very much. You have to know that the house is a good 15-20 minutes' drive from the club entrance. You should accept this travel time on somewhat bumpy terrain. You will be rewarded with breathtaking views. You should plan 35-40 minutes' drive from the house to the restaurants in Jacó. It was great to live in the middle of nature - iguana chameleons, raccoons, parrots, bats were among our animal roommates. It was an absolute highlight. Carolina and Guillermo were great hosts. Quick and friendly responses. They also know when someone came to clean the pool, for example. We really enjoyed our time there as a family. Pura Vida!

Uns hat das Haus sehr sehr gut gefallen. Man muss wissen, dass das Haus gute 15-20 Autominuten vom Clubeingang entfernt ist. Man sollte diese Fahrzeit auf etwas huckeligen Gelände akzeptieren. Dafür wird man mit einer atemberaubenden Aussicht belohnt. Zu den Restaurants in Jacó sollte man 35-40 Min Fahrzeit vom Haus aus einplanen. Es war toll mitten in der Natur zu leben - LeguanChameleons, Waschbären, Papageien, Fledermäuse zählten zu unseren tierischen Mitbewohnern. Es war ein absolutes Highlight. Carolina und Guillermo waren super Gastgeber. Schnelle und freundliche Antworten. Sie haben auch Bescheid wenn jemand kam, um zum Beispiel den Pool sauber zu machen. Wir haben unsere Zeit als Familie dort sehr genossen. Pura Vida!

We had overall good stay here. The hosts who were always responsive and helped solve any problems. The house is a newer home and is exactly as in the photos. Its truly beautiful and my family enjoyed staying here. The best part of this stay is that we saw wildlife and macaws flying all around. In fact they man made nest right over the neighbour's house, it was wonderful to see these birds in the wild. If I had one wish for the house, it's that it would benefit from having AC in the kitchen.The punta leon thought is not great, they don't see you as a human being but rather as a walking wallet. You'd need a day pass to eat in restaurants or use the private beach or park. In the public beach, you have to pay $40 a day, We parked outside, but then some "volunteers" took over that and demanded a donation of $10. Last, the neighbour threw a massive party on sat night, blasting light and music to the trees where mcawas live. We watched in horror while these "locals" didn't seem to care.

We had an amazing time. This home is beautiful, just like the photos, but even better in person. The most beautiful view. Recommend getting a rental car from the airport if you want to get around to other areas. Jaco beach was very fun to visit! For another amazing view and very good lunch menu—Hotel Villa Caletas.

The place is exactly like in the pictures and even better! Carolina and Guillermo were very attentive before and during the stay! We'll definitely be back :)

El lugar es exactamente como en la fotos y hasta mejor! Carolina y Guillermo fueron muy atentos antes y durante la estadía! Definitivamente volveremos :)

Casa Encanto lived up to our expectations. The location is stunning and the local wildlife was a treat to behold. We had the use of half of the house. The security of the gated community was something new to us and I would advise all visitors to read the hosts instructions very carefully before arriving. Everything was clean and well maintained. The use of a laundry was an unexpected surprise for us and very welcome.

The place is amazing, private, super cute view and super simple check-in process. We hope to return

El lugar es increíble, privado, la vista súper linda y el proceso de check in súper sencillo. Esperamos volver

Beautiful house and pool! Great views And safe area

We had a great time. The house was great and the view was amazing. We rented wave runners in the marina down the road. So much fun!

Thank you very much, we really enjoyed it!

Beautiful location, clean house, all instructions were clear and easy.

Indescribably beautiful home with stunning views. Here you can experience iguanas and Aras close by. The house is very well equipped and very clean. The beach is within walking distance, shopping and restaurants are also nearby. The hosts are courteous, very easy to reach and uncomplicated. Many thanks for the fantastic time!

Unbeschreiblich schönes Haus mit einem atemberaubenden Ausblick. Hier erlebt man Leguane und Aras aus nächster Nähe. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Der Strand ist fussläufig zu erreichen, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants ebenfalls in der Nähe. Die Gastgeber sind zuvorkommend, sehr gut erreichbar und unkompliziert. Herzlichen Dank für die traumhafte Zeit!

Absolutely loved this place! The views were amazing, and the place was very clean. Great communication!

This is a beautiful house in a beautiful location. The walk to the beach was a bit longer than expected but the beach was also as wonderful and private as the home. We were able to see local wildlife, beautiful sunsets, and clear skies from the home. The house was also equipped with everything we needed during our stay.

place was beautiful! loved the evening sunsets. there's 2 macaws a few houses over who race around in the mornings, hummingbirds on the flowers, small lizards barking in the evenings! it was very peaceful with the sound of nature.

Great place for families! amazing views surrounded by nature, near the beach, restaurants and grocery stores. Thank you Carolina and Guillermo for your hospitality. We would love to come back soon!

This is a wonderful Airbnb. One of the most beautiful houses in the whole town and you get the benefits of the private pool and bbq area at a great price. Very very special

Thanks very much Jacob for your words and note, all very much appreciated!! We look forward to seeing you back soon!

Beautiful home host was very responsive! 10/10

Thanks Tiffany for choosing our place. And thank you for your nice review. We hope to see you again soon! Pura Vida from Costa Rica! Cheers!

Perfect stay! The place was beautiful and just as described. Carolina and Gulliermo were very attentive and helpfull at all times. Definitely coming back!

Thanks Maria! The experience hosting you was equally great. We hope to see you again! Thank you!

Carolina and Guillermo were helpful hosts and responded to us whenever we had questions. They were kind and patient. The condo was beautiful! It had a clean pool that lights up during the night, an outdoor patio with outdoor lighting, and balconies that you can exit to from the bedrooms upstairs. It was difficult for us to find the place at first since it was dark outside so we’d encourage people to try and arrive while the sun is still up. The security was top-notch, and we are grateful to have stayed here.

The house has everything, no need to go out somewhere else. You can see exotic birds, iguanas, and other wildlife.  The pool is wonderful and watching the sunsets is a great thing.

La casa tiene todo, no hay necesidad de salir a otro lugar. Puedes ver a pajaros exoticos, iguanas y otros animales silvestres.  La Piscina es una maravilla y ver los atardeceres es algo magnifico.

This spot was perfect for our crew. We loved the views and the beaches near by. Very responsive with getting back to me about questions and certain details. The space was free of clutter and very clean. We would definitely come back to Costa Rica and rent this space again. 😊

Thanks Jasmine for your review! We were delighted to have you and you are welcome to come back anytime!
