We had a great stay at Jays place. It was peaceful and beautiful and we all had a great time. Jefferson, the caretaker, was very friendly, and was always available if we needed anything. Thanks for a great stay!

Had an amazing time here, so close to the beach and a great big pool in the backyard. Jefferson and his mother were great and answered all of our questions about local restaurants, places to get groceries, and tours. We even had a power outage at one point, and Jefferson came over to talk to us, something that happens from time to time. But the power was back on within the hour. Really appreciated the fresh towels since we left ours outside to dry and the rain got them even more wet. The house itself was very spacious, and everything worked great. Would definitely stay here again

Das Strandhaus war ein Traum! Hinten der Pool, vorne der herrliche Pazifik. Wir haben uns sofort wie zu Hause gefühlt und wollten zum Schluss gar nicht mehr weg. Der Hausmeister Jefferson war gemeinsam mit seiner Mutter um unser Wohl bemüht: Wäscheservice, er hatte ein Auge auf uns in den Wellen, bei unserer Abreise schlug er zum Abschied Kokosnüsse für uns auf. Alles on allem: absolut empfehlenswert!

This place was better than expected. The pictures don’t even do it justice. It’s a little out-of-the-way, but that’s exactly what we wanted. The beach and the views on the bay were beautiful. We might have seen a total of four other people on the beach. We felt completely safe. Jefferson and his mom live on part of the property and they were so helpful. Jefferson booked massages for us. We ended up accidentally scratching our rental car pretty badly so we were trying to look at the damage and see what we could do to fix it. But Jefferson‘s mom came out helped us wash the car waxed it for us and fix the damage that we had. She was amazing. She even got coconuts for us and opened them up so that we could have them to drink. The Pacific Beach is a little rough at high tide but this was the perfect time to use the pool. We saw turtle eggs and monkeys on the inlet. We got to walk out and get mangoes to have a breakfast. This is an excellent place to stay!

LOVE the home. Had an amazing experience staying at this home. Definitely the most private and peaceful beach stay I’ve ever had. It felt like we had the whole BEAUTIFUL beach to ourselves. The river behind the home was fun to fish, and the pool in the backyard was perfect. Jay’s team on the property were caring and helpful. 10/10 would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Casa Blanco was exactly the peaceful retreat that my children and I needed. The location is remote enough to feel secluded and close enough to town to easily access groceries or a meal out. We intentionally chose not to stay in a high tourist area, however, we were close enough to access all of the activities if we chose too. Manuel Antonio was an easy drive and we really enjoyed the Manuel Antonio Beach for swimming in calmer waters. The house itself was the perfect amount of space for myself and 3 teens. As a woman travelling solo with her kids I felt safe. Jefferson made sure that we had everything we needed and the grounds were impeccable. My kids enjoyed swimming in the pool and combing the beach for sand dollars. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a simple, quiet, authentic Costa Rican vacation. Pura Vida 🌊☀️

Tuve un mal entendido con Jay a la hora de hacer el check in con el lugar del parqueo y envió un mensaje bien grosero. Como dueña de negocio le sugiero que hay formas más educadas y respetuosas para dirigirte a un cliente. Además le solicité con mucha anticipación la posibilidad de un “late check out”, me dijo que luego lo hablamos y nunca me dijo nada. Llegamos más temprano de la hora porque nos vinimos con tiempo por la presa de Semana Santa y solicitamos si podíamos dejar las maletas e ingresar más tarde, la señora que nos atendió nos dijo que sí y nos abrió la casa pero al parecer a Jay también eso le molestó usando eso para decirnos que teníamos que hacer check out a las 10 am “sin excepción “. Yo tenía 3 años de no tener vacaciones y luego de esos percances pues no las pude disfrutar igual. 😔. De igual forma al irnos, salimos de la casa antes de las 10 am dejamos barrido, todo limpio, recogido y guardado…con un estrés increíble porque lo menos que quería era recibir más mensajes
