There are lots of places in Costa Rica that look good on the internet. And most of them are as beautiful as the pictures. But even though Costa Rica is a small country, it can take a long time to get from one place to another. I looked at lots of locations. Many of the areas that try to attract your tourism dollars are in the middle of nowhere. Playa Hermosa is perfect. It's minutes from Jaco but away from the chaos. You have dozens of restaurants to choose from, loads of nightlife, a fancy casino, and every activity imaginable a short ride away. And it's all right here on the Pacific ocean. If you have any questions about travel to Costa Rica, I am happy to answer them. In this hacienda we host families, friends, and company get-togethers.

7BR luxury villa in Jaco

Secluded Luxurious Hacinda, Beach, Amazing Pool - Houses for Rent in Jaco, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Was a nice home that is in need of some attention. Plenty of room but lacking amenities that would have made the stay more comfortable. Great pool. Host did not reach out until a day or so before our stay and never offered the in home massages or private chef that we saw on the listing. Close to local shop and restaurants. Private space!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was very clean, spacious, and had a great pool. The location was perfect—close to the beach and all of the excursions we had planned. Melissa was an amazing host who helped us prepare before our trip and checked in throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. Chef David was outstanding and one of the highlights of our vacation. I highly recommend booking him if you have the opportunity. We’d definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. Plenty of old world charm, and a lot of space for our entire group. Our favorite feature was Melissa, the host. She was always available and very attentive! She arranged a wonderful day trip for us as well as a chef- we highly recommend the chef service; it was fantastic! Overall, a wonderful stay, thanks to Melissa.

Beautiful place to stay with a family or big company. Close to the ocean. Highly recommended

Really good place for a trip with a lot of people, totally recommended.

Amazing property! Very private and very safe community with security 24/7. The host was very responsive and helped us plan our entire weekend with excursions & even sorted out the chef service which I highly recommend. Definitely coming back!

A very nice place, super comfortable, clean and safe. 100% recommended.

Un lugar muy agradable, súper cómodo, limpio y seguro. Recomendado 100%.

Our stay in Jaco was incredible! Melissa was an amazing host — super welcoming, responsive, and made sure everything was perfect from the moment we arrived. The place was spotless, stylish, and even better than the photos. The location was ideal — close to the beach, restaurants, and all the fun, yet still peaceful and private. You can tell Melissa really cares about her guests and puts thought into every detail. Definitely one of my best Airbnb experiences in Costa Rica. Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Jaco!

Absolutely stunning home! We enjoyed themselves entirety of our trip and truly will miss the home!

This house is beautiful and exactly as promised ... no, BETTER than promised! We were 8 adults and there was plenty of room for sleeping (we didn't even use several of the bedrooms), games, eating, hanging out and enjoying being together in Costa Rica. The home itself was lovely, lots of charm and character and very spacious. Pool was great, the neighborhood lovely and very easy access to everything. Loryl/ Melissa arranged 2 chefs to come in and they were FANTASTIC - one of the best parts of our trip to CR. Everything they made was yummy with plenty left over for midnight snacks or lunch the next day. We had a few activities plan around the area but mostly enjoyed hanging out together at the house and around the pool. Loryl/ Melissa was great in every way and so attentive to our comfort and needs. We lacked for nothing. We loved everything about our stay and would 110% recommend it for anyone interested in staying in the Jaco area.

We had a great stay! The house is located in a private gated community and felt very safe. The house plus casita was large enough that our group of 9 all had their own space. The pool was sparking and even had some floats. Outside was lush and beautiful with some iguanas and we even saw some macaws! Reasonably close to a lot of activities but you will need a car or to Uber. (Ubers were very cheap compared to the states.) A/C worked great and kept the house COLD (unusual for a lot of houses in Central America) especially at night. The highlight of the trip for us though was Melissa. She checked in several times prior to our arrival, met us at the house to show us around and let us in. She arranged a chef that was excellent, reasonably priced, and left us with tons of leftovers. She helped with other excursions and recommendations too. They even decorated the house and got us a cake for my daughter’s 18th birthday! Definitely recommend!

I just want to say thank you so much to Loryl and especially Melissa! The house was beautiful! Melissa made sure everything was in order such as booking us a boat, spa treatments and a chef for the weekend. This is a must stay! The chef was incredible, true costa Rican meals that were well seasoned and reasonably priced.I couldnt have asked for a better stay. My best friend LOVED her bachelorette! Thank you for helping me!

Private, safe & close to a surf beach and regular beaches with a downtown vibe -lots of restaurants, national parks & mini markets.

The place was very nice, great layout for larger groups, with ample bedrooms & bathrooms. The pool was great and the location of the property was great, it felt very secluded even though it was in a community. The ability to rent a van through the host was really convenient, and saved the headaches of renting a vehicle at the airport. What really stood out about the stay however was the concierge for the property Melissa. in the months leading up to our stay Melissa was extremely helpful in finding things to do, identifying and booking shuttles to/from San Jose, questions about the area/guides, and ensuring everything went smoothly. I can't stress enough how much of a help she was! Through Melissa we hired the private chef for 2 meals, and the decision was a hit. The cost to bring the chefs out was very reasonable and the grocery cost for the meals was also very reasonable. The amount of food was really great for the cost, and we were left with leftovers for lunches.

Absolutely perfect for our family group.  Everything exceeded expectation from the decor and cleanliness to the responsiveness of Melissa to our needs.  We 1000% recommend this beautiful Cassa!

I just want to say, my group had a great time at this location. The area was private and quiet. The house itself was beautiful, kept clean upon arrival, and was everything it listed in the review. The house was spacious, big and a fun time to relax and swim. Melissa was great, always answering calls and text, providing any assistance whenever we needed. I would recommend any bigger groups  to stay here.

Great house and amazing host Melissa!! Thanks for all and Pura Vida

The house and property are amazing.  Having someone local (Melissa) to help you with activities and chef is awesome.  If you book, have the chef fix you at least one dinner!

We had such a wonderful experience at Casa de España!! The property is beautiful and very private. Melissa was exceptionally helpful and contacted us weeks before our trip to coordinate transportation and tours. We also opted for dinner and brunch service with Chef David and his beautiful wise Isabella and all of the meals were excellent and delicious! I highly recommend them! The cleaning staff came to make beds and freshen the bathrooms and kitchen each day which was great! All of the staff were very friendly too! The only issues we faced were we had some heavy rain and the roof in the casita had a drip that caused a wet spot on the bed but we were aware from other reviews that this could happen. Also 2 of the bathrooms had cold water for the showers, not a huge problem as we could use the bathroom with hot water but this was on the 3rd floor and a bit of a walk for our 88 and 75 year old grandmas. Finally the jacuzzi didn’t work and we planned to use it so that was disappointing.

This house was perfect for our Christmas getaway!

Loryls place was amazing I will highly recommend this place to anyone coming anywhere near jaco. This place was easy going saw so many things, transportation was always there for us and Melissa was a wonderful host at the home there she is one of the locals from Costa Rica and she did her job so perfectly and so well and made us feel right at home. She had us doing different things every day, she deserves all the props  for us having a successful trip and so does Loryl  who was always responsive to us and made sure we were very well accommodated. Melissa was also making sure the same thing while we went on our different trips around the city. Highly recommended this place to everyone.

Here’s an updated version of your review with the drawback included: “We recently stayed at a beautiful Airbnb in Costa Rica to celebrate my wife’s 50th birthday, and the experience was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Melissa, the office manager, went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. Her attention to detail was second to none—from arranging exceptional chefs who prepared delicious meals tailored to our tastes, to organizing skilled massage therapists who provided the ultimate relaxation, and coordinating incredible excursions that showed us the best of Costa Rica. Melissa truly made us feel special and ensured that my wife’s milestone birthday was celebrated in the most memorable way possible. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making our stay extraordinary, and her dedication made all the difference. The only drawback was that the hot tub wasn’t not hot as we’d hoped, but that was a minor issue in an otherwise flawless experienc

Our stay at Casa de España was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we began planning, working with Loryl and Melissa was an absolute pleasure—they were attentive, professional, and made the entire process seamless. Upon arrival, we were blown away by the house’s cleanliness and breathtaking architecture. The design perfectly balances spaces for gathering as a group and quiet spots to relax, making it ideal for any occasion. The chefs were another highlight of our experience—every meal was exquisite, and their services were incredibly affordable. The Costa Rican furniture and art added so much charm and authenticity to the home, creating an ambiance that made us feel immersed in the local culture. If you’re looking for a luxurious, comfortable, and well-managed property, Casa de España is the perfect choice. We can’t wait to return!

The home was absolutely beautiful and perfect for a week-long girls trip. The location is fantastic; close to Jaco and a number of local neighborhood spots with great food and drinks. The icing on the cake was Melissa who provided truly amazing on site support and local recommendations. After helping us book a full week of activities (surfing lessons, Tortuga day trip, etc) almost everything had to change due to an unseasonably intense storm, which Melissa helped us navigate rescheduling seamlessly. Will definitely be back!

This was the best vacation experience we have ever had! Traveling with a Large group can be challenging, but Melissa was amazing with setting up trips and any issues we had! She made us feel at home and as if we were family!! The chefs were top notch, very professional and well worth it! Justin was amazing with helping with renting the Van and was very responsive! Anyone that is looking to stay in Jaco would be crazy to not take advantage of this amazing home and staff!

This is an amazing treat from the business of Jaco and extreme excursions our family favors. The house feels like a mansion- lots of room to sleep and hang out. The pool was amazing and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. We loved our stay and so did our teenagers. A highlight is the amazing dinner table perfect for the private chef and playing card games after a long day of surfing or rappelling/hiking!

Nice place to stay. The maid came daily (at no extra cost).  The house manager Melissa was great in arranging local trips to various places including the Emanuel Antonio reserve and Tortuga Island, as well as Chef David, who did a great job cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I traveled to this villa with 7 women (supposed to be 12) we were very excited for the pool and the place . upon arrival after almost 16 hours of travel, Melissa the property manager did meet us and tell us that the pool was not working + they were trying to to fix it and that there was no water in the Casita. luckily the pool was fixed the next day but the water was not. she told us it was normal but we were never told it may be an issue prior and if we had had all 12 we paid for we wouldn't have been able to really make it work. there is no bathroom separate from individual rooms they are all through other peoples rooms. we did get the chef and the meals were wonderful but we had grocery shopped and askes him to use what we bought instead of buying more and they did not so it was much more costly + then we had to leave lots of food that was meant to be used for them. but there was lots of pros the villa, location , privacy, animals and size is incredible and we made great memories

Everything was great. Melissa was lovely. Got the van rental (van wasn’t in great condition but was ok), private chef was amazing, cleaners were great. Everyone was super helpful. They arranged transport. Highly recommend

The family thoroughly enjoyed the week at Casa De España!  Great accommodations, great pool, lots of wildlife to enjoy!  It is very private and secure but still close to Jacó and within driving distance to so many places!  Our only inconvenience was that the water service to the casita was very spotty all week so we had to go shower in the main house.  Other than that, everything was spectacular!

Our group of 11 had the most amazing and relaxing stay at Casa de España! The hacienda and casita were spacious, very clean, and tastefully decorated with Costa Rican style. The beds were super comfy and the AC was as cold as you would want. The pool was very refreshing and large enough to float around while the kids played. Kids and adults loved it and the whirlpool. The best part is that it offered both sun and shade. While the kitchen was stocked with everything you would need to cook, we hired the Chef to come in a few days to make the most authentic, delicious meals. Highly recommend his services! The location is perfect to feel like a private resort but close enough to the market, restaurants, beaches, and activities. Both Loryl and Melissa were incredibly easy to deal with and offered help with any questions or assistance you may need. This was our 3rd visit to Costa Rica but our first stay here and it completely exceeded our expectations. We cannot wait to come back again

We had a fantastic, fun week. We were a group of 10 adults. The home is older with some need of TLC. Melissa, who met us when we arrived, was fantastic to deal with, and very quick to respond. With the pool being one of the best assets of the property all of the lounge chairs need to be replaced to accommodate at least 10. We hired David and Isabella as chefs for two dinners, and one breakfast, and would strongly recommend their services. The cleaning people were a bit sporadic, but we were OK with that. There was a pair of macaws living around the corner from us Which was nice to see almost daily. We had a great week!

This was my family's first trip to Costa Rica. The property was very nice and as we expected. There were good restaurants close by and a mini market right down the road. We had a couple of issues during our stay but our hosts were responsive to get them fixed. We enjoyed our stay at the Casa de Espana. Thanks!

Basement room with wet sheets, we had to sleep the first night with a leak on top of the bed. That room has only a small nightstand to store clothes. Cleanliness the first 2 days wasn't great, the third day yes but the room didn't make it.

Cuarto del sótano con sábanas húmedas , tuvimos que dormir la primera noche con una gotera encima de la cama. Esa habitación tiene solo una pequeña mesa de noche para guardar la ropa. La limpieza los 2 primeros días no fue buena, el tercer día si pero el cuarto no llegaron a hacerla.

Great location in a lovely community close to the beaches and attractions.  We saw lots of scarlet macaws fly over the house every day.  Loryl and Melissa were very responsive and helpful.  Melissa arranged a private chef who prepared a birthday dinner for my husband’s birthday, and everyone in our family said it was the best meal of the week. The porch and pool were very popular places for our family of twelve to hang out.

We spent an unforgettable vacation in Casa España. The pool was the best part of all. The kids enjoyed it to the fullest!!!! Melissa helped us with everything, has a lot of patience, and is super friendly. Thank you for everything!!!

Pasamos unas vacaciones inolvidables en Casa España. La piscina fue lo mejor de todo. Los niños la disfrutaron al maximo!!!! Melissa nos ayudo en todo, tiene mucha paciencia y es super amable. Gracias por todo!!!

Our family of 9 had an incredible time at Loryl’s home in Playa Hermosa. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed  and taken care of by Melissa who felt like a member of our family. Any question we had about the house, tours or local recommendations we had, Melissa was quick to respond and help out. We took advantage of renting the van at the property, the masseuse that came to the house, and a private chef. We all felt pampered and we haven’t even talked about the pool, the cold AC, the comfy beds, daily maid service and the proximity to yoga, restaurants and playa Hermosa. What a treat!

Beautiful home in a wonderful location. Though we did have some issues with ants and internet amongst a few others, we had a great stay.

Overall we had a wonderful stay at Casa de Espana, and Andrey was a very accommodating host and guide. Cristina kept the place in tip-top shape and was helpful getting us all the towels we needed for our large group of 13. These were some of our favorite things about the house: the A/C -- the heat and humidity day and night were rather shocking to us northerners; the pool -- a very welcome retreat after a day spent hiking up a sweat; Andrey -- made sure we were set up after checking in and we hired him to guide us through Parque Manuel Antonio which was a highlight of the trip; the gatekeepers -- we weren't sure about being in a gated community at first but it did provide a sense of security and safety. There were a few things that took getting used to such as some of the showers did not have working hot water, the septic system cannot handle toilet paper being flushed (apparently not unique to this property) and it smelled bad later in the week (might have been from the extra use).

It was raining all night that day we arrive so We had some hiccups along the way but thankfully everyone made it safe and sound.  The house is very nice but needs some maintenance. Doors don’t lock but seems like it’s in a safe neighborhood. Also, couldn’t get hot water on the 1st floor bath. One of the beds in the casita broke and had to wait two days to get it fixed so that guest had to sleep on the couch. The mattresses were comfortable. The cleaning ladies would just make the beds, take out the trash and clean the kitchen but never the restrooms. The pool is nice but we had to put the water hose on it one time because the water was low and the motor was making a weird noise.We came to the conclusion that it might had been a little earthquake some of us felt the night before and that made some of the water come out of the pool. Andrey the manager was very helpful, he made sure we were doing well and gave us advice on places we could fish, eat, etc. Over all we enjoyed our stay. 😄

Our stay was pretty incredible, very memorable, and we loved it so much we booked an extra day because none of us wanted to leave! Our family of 10 had plenty of space and places to seclude if we wanted privacy, as well as being able to enjoy playing games, eating together, or simply hanging out in the large open living-kitchen-dining space. Loved the artistic touches and feel, also the unique and beautiful layout of the home. The FAVORITE space, however, was the pool area. The tiled shelf under the palms (within the pool) was so idyllic, and the surfboard-turned-outdoor-shower was a huge plus. We all enjoyed the pool so much, including my 5-year-old grandson, who was well on his way to learning to swim before we left. House manager Andrey was diligent to see to our needs, and also to arrange a couple of outings for our family. We felt like we had a friend there. He won't save you any money, but he is a wealth of information! Note: House is #20 in the neighborhood. Useful info.

What a fantastic experience. Very roomy house, pictures don’t do it justice. It felt cozy yet spacious at the same time. Christina the house keeper did a wonderful job and Andrey was super helpful with answering all our questions and providing us recommendations and scheduling activities. Can’t wait to go back and stay here again.

The house was beautiful. I stayed for 4-5 days . It wasn’t enough , book more days !!! The pool is the best and so spacious . If I had to say something bad it would be the bugs/insects but Costa Rica is full of them … so this house was 10/10 . In a safe gated community which I loved & please get a massage when you’re there , you won’t regret it !

So glad you had a good time.  We enjoyed your group;)

Loryl was gracious in leading up to our trip as well as addressing needs we had during trip. The home is beautiful

Everything about my stay was amazing. Planning transportation was for normal errands were difficult, but overall I had an great stay. Audrey and Edgar were awesome with transportation and activities. I’ll definitely go back. The house is exactly as soon, but better. The only thing I wish is that the jacuzzi water was actually hot/warm.

This house was perfect! We were a total of 7 people and stayed 5 days. Andrey the house manager made our stay even better! He was friendly and available for any question any time of day. He was there to greet us when we arrived and gave us a house tour. He provided information on excursions and we booked ATV ridding and Zip lining with him. We set the times and got picked up and everyone was very friendly. We also booked home massages which I highly recommend and had a chief our last night. Everything was fairly affordable. The meal was amazing and Andrey stopped by at the end to make sure everything went well. The maid would come when we were out and it was nice to come back to a clean house. Andrey was very communicative on whats app and due to reception I would recommended getting the app. Food, beach, night life is all very close by. We drove to the national park which was an 1hr 20mins away. You can book with Andrey but we decided to take our selfs and buy tickets online. If you decide to go alone with no tour guide just be aware that everyone will try to sell you things they will run across the street to get you to buy a tour or something from them but we held our ground and said no and once inside it was magical. Overall really recommended this location. The drive from the airport to Jaco is safe and beautiful you do have to pay a few tolls from 50 cents to $1.50. The entrance to the community is guarded and you have to check in once when you arrive and they let you in and out I really liked that it just added a layer of security that made me more comfortable. We rented a car to have more freedom to come and go and explore freely but Andrey does offer pick up and drop off from the airport. A member of our group had to leave early and Andrey helped him get a $7 bus ticket that picked him up in Jaco and dropped him off right in front of the airport. Overall great stay and will be returning!

This is a great place for family or friends would recommend it highly secluded and very quiet

Lory was very kind. It is a beautiful house.

Our group of 12 stayed at the house and had a fantastic time. The setting is lovely and the pool is great. Location is also perfect. There was plenty of space to cook, although the pots & pans need an update. The long dining room table was absolutely great. The house manager is Andry. He is enthusiastic and communication is very rapid. As stated on a previous review, some plumbing issues were met with a “nothing we can do” response. The issues for us were low shower water pressure in the higher rooms and a cold faucet not working on the second floor. The bedrooms are clean, well decorated, and the beds are very nice. A maid comes in a few times per week. When it rains, expect to see some leaks, especially in the kitchen around the windows. We didn’t realise that the bunk bed room in the casita does not have a door or privacy screen. The neighborhood is quiet and very pleasant. A local mini-mart is walkable. The beach is also walkable alongside a main road. We did receive a noise complaint for playing music outside after 10pm, but the security guard was polite. We decided to rent the van at the property, which was a good deal. Transport to and from the airport was $260, which was a little higher than expected. This was arranged by the house manager. Caution: the house manager is a good resource to arrange tours etc.. but our trip to the national park turned out to be extremely expensive. If we could do it again, we would use our own transport (instead of the one arranged), pay the entrance fee ourselves and pay a tour guide (the house manager is one) the going rate. That would’ve saved us $100s. ATV and zip line trips were arranged by the house manager and were great. A boat trip to Tortuga Island was also great, but the boat used was one meant for a river, not an ocean. A storm on the trip back was quite scary for some in our group. Our group would recommend this property, when armed with the above information. Our vacation was extremely fun and comfortable in the house and we would certainly visit again.

The home is nice and the pool is a great addition. There were some issues through the stay that were inconvenient and these items were addressed with the property manager and/or the owner. Leaks in various places coming from the roof Van we rented had battery issues for 2 days Toilet was leaking Shower not working in one of the bathrooms The house location is good and far enough from the hustle from nightlife but close enough drive.

I can’t begin to explain how much we loved this home! It was very clean and very spacious and my huge family had a wonderful time. The pool is amazing! The guest house was the perfect size for our daughter and her children. Andre our host was more than welcoming and willing to help us get around town. He also helped us book excursions that were top rate. We can’t wait some day to come back and would plan to stay here again. Very close to shopping. Very close to the beach. Wonderful community. We were booked to stay here in 2020 but with the pandemic, we couldn’t travel until this year. Loryl was very flexibility among a few reschedules. It was well worth the wait.

The house is very clean and comfortable; we enjoyed it so much. After a storm, we lost power for about 12 hours, and water came in on the bedroom floors and through the ceiling in one room, soaking that bed and causing one couple a need to move because nothing apparently could be done about it after notifying Andrey. It caused some problems with how we had arranged the bedrooms for the couples there. That was our only problem and we enjoyed our stay otherwise.

We loved our stay at casa de espana! Andrey gave us great recommendations and we enjoyed every one of them. Loved all of the people we interacted with around Jaco and Playa Hermosa. The location was perfect and the size of the house gave our large group room to spread out. Housekeeping was great, and the pool was the perfect addition! We got the private chef and massages, and then went on excursions ziplining and an ATV tour which we LOVED! We also rented the van and used the shuttle service - both of which made our trip so much easier. The Playa Hermosa beach nearby was the best one we went to and the shops and night life in Jaco were great too. We went at the start of rainy season so there were a couple of leaks but nothing to complain about. Would definitely recommend this place for all that it offers, and we hope to come back!

WOW! Let me start by saying this home became one of my top 3 favorites from the many places we have stayed in other countries. Simple breathtaking, magnificent and spectacular. I was looking for place to spend my honeymoon.  My husband and I decided to not have the big traditional wedding but travel instead with our 9 of our closest friends and family. I came across this house and I thought it would be great for all 12 of us. WELL, it exceeded all my expectations! The communication is superb, Loryl and Justin are wonderful host. Justin, thank you for all the quick response and making sure we were set and safe. I rented the van, it fit all 12 of us.  The space inside and outside is impressive. The beds and pillows are to die for (you won't miss your own). There is so much art and uniqueness in every corner of the house that makes this place so much special. Audrey is a sweet heart and even though he has so many things to do, he will not let you down. I brought my wedding dress and took so many magnificent pictures. The pool was fabulous. One of my favorite things in the house is the dinner table, it fit all 12 of us; we asked the chef to make us a meal one of the nights, he wasn't able to come but he sent Danilo and two others. Danilo stole my heart, he made sure everything was exquisite. There is a market near the house and literally about 10 min away from restaurants, bars and more. Edgardo picked us up at the airport and dropped us all off, excellent service. I can go on and on with only but positive things to say. THANK YOU all for a pleasant and enchanting stay. I give Casa España a  10 out of 10!  I would love to return. Love, Karen & Andrew

BOOK IT!!! Just do it!!!  If you have no idea what to do or how to plan your adventures in Jaco this is the home for you!! Absolutely anything you need or will need, Loryl and her team will provide.  I had a girls trip and Andrey guided and scheduled our entire vacation. I just let him know what all I wanted to do and he gave me options along with making the reservations and providing us with transportation.  Andrey is very knowledgeable and was such a joy!  Also I had one of my guest flights get canceled and she needed a return flight within 48 hours.  Justin found one for her the same day! Tiki was also our transportation and was very kind.  We had both late and early flights and he was able to accommodate us with everything including taking our COVID test before our departure.   The home is exactly as described.  All I can say is, this is the reservation you won't regret booking!

Great stay! Great location! And Andry was a great host!

This vacation home is a beautiful property and really makes it a bonding experience for a celebratory vacation with your group. Andrey, the house organizer and concierge was a great resource and helped us out a lot! He is an amazing tour guide and is so passionate about what he does, you will learn so much from him! It was so useful to have transportation arranged as well as the tours, and any other details to make your stay memorable. Communication between Loryl and Andrey made things flexible and we really appreciated their will to work with any change of plans to help accommodate the group on a daily basis. The house itself had a few things that needed to be addressed and we needed housekeeping to tidy a few areas but the kitchen is great for cooking as well as the outdoor grill and dining area. Keep in mind, if there is traffic, it may take up to almost 2 hours to travel to the SJO airport- especially if you need to schedule a COVID test for the return flight back to the US, allot yourself enough time. We also booked the chef, Edy for my birthday dinner and that was a lot of fun and gave us some dance lessons. There is plenty to do in the area, something for everyone. I only wish we had stayed longer! Thank you for a memorable trip!

Everything super excellent a beautiful house with very safe cleanliness excellent my rating is 100 recommended excellent

Todo súper excelente una casa hermosa con muy segura la limpieza excelente mi calificación es 100 recomendada excelente

Loryl was a great host, the Airbnb was clean, beautiful and everything was as promised. Will recommend 5 stars

Heads up to future travelers, the pool and the property was amazing. We paid 725 a night and although it had all the bedrooms it was a little worn. Be sure to note that all the 3 bathrooms upstairs there was no hot water. The main big bathtub that is a hi lite did not work. The lower floor bedroom was the only bathroom to have hot water in the main house but it had no where to put your clothes, nothing to hang them on and not even a dresser. Other than that it truly was a fantastic stay and would stay again except for the price of 725 night with no hot water. We were also lucky that one of the guys in our group did all the pool maintenance.

This home is so inviting, plenty of space and a great place for memories to be made. The team from Andre to Eddie and his wife the chef are just Amazing and made our trip one of the best and we travel a lot so that says a lot. Book your fun with Andre as he is amazing at setting it up and making sure you make it there and back. Use his friend Eddie and his amazing wife for your meals. You won’t be disappointed! The food was to die for, them serving us and cleaning up made it a true vacation without having to find places to eat. The house cleaner was in daily and did a great job keeping it clean while coordinating it on when we were out so that she wasn’t in our way or us in hers. This place is AMAZING!

A great house in a great location. We had 3 families (6 adults and 6 kids ranging from 3yrs-9yrs) and the house worked out perfectly for us. The pool was nice, the house was cleaned everyday, Andrey the house manager was super helpful and even led us on a tour thru Manuel Antonio National Park which was awesome. The location is nice and safe. It’s close to several restaurants and only about 10-15 min to Jaco which has many more shops, restaurants, etc. The sunsets nearby were fantastic and the beaches were great too. Hopefully we’ll be back to Costa Rica again soon and would definitely try and stay at this house again!

This place was AMAZING!!! So here's the deal, the house is massive. I went with 10 folks and we all stayed comfortably between the big house and the casita. Each room has it's own bathroom. The downstairs is gorgeous with a giant table which was PERFECT for our group dinners. There is a television in the living room but the Netflix wasn't functioning. Andrey, the house manager is amazing. Anything you need, you can contact him and he'll set it up whether it's a taxi somewhere, where to exchange money, where to eat, etc. He checked in everyday to ask if there was anything we needed and was so quick with responding. The housekeepers would come every morning and clean, they did an amazing job and it was awesome to come home to a clean room. The pool is gorgeous and there's plenty of pool chairs for folks to sit in/bathroom outside as well. The location is in playa hermosa (small black sand beach with great surfing but only for experienced surfers) about 10 mins from Jaco. We rented mopeds and would just ride into the town if need be. Last but not least, the CHEF Eddie and his family are AMAZING. Get them to make your meals. They charge $30/meal and it is worth every single penny. They are personable, professional, made delicious meals and even taught us how to dance. I had such an amazing experience here, PURA VIDA!

The Best Place To Stay The Moment we got the the concierge was there he helped us do everything we wanted to do he set up all the excursions and activities we wanted to do. The daily housekeeper was nice enough to wash some of the things we left out and made sure we had fresh towels and our beds were made every night. Can’t wait to come back and stay again.

Great place, great service, very friendly staff and excellent communication. I will definitely book this space again when visiting Jaco

Great place for our family to stay near Jaco. Would definitely recommend.

First off I just want to say that this has by far been my best air bnb experience. From the moment I booked our reservation the host was in contact with me doing everything they can to make my first time in Costa Rica amazing. Upon arrival the host arranged a private chef dinner for the 10 of us. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Eddie and his family to come and cook for you, they were amazing, professional, and the food was delicious! The house was very clean and had everything we needed. In order to get back into the United States we needed to take a covid test. The host arranged for the covid test to be taken at the house for us. So convenient! The location was perfect and close to many shops and restaurants. 10/10 recommend everyone to stay here while visiting Costa Rica!

Everything was amazing ! I would definitely recommend this beautiful get away any time !

This is an amazing house! Plenty of room for everyone! We had 14 people stay a week and we enjoyed having this as our home! Great location!  Massages were amazing! We had Gustavo cook breakfasts & dinners for us! His guys were so awesome! I highly recommend them!  If you get the chance go to Tortuga Island! Can’t wait to come back! Pura Vida !!

The house was incredible and our contact Andre was INCREDIBLE. Truly a genuinely great individual and very knowledgeable of anything from the country history to wildlife. Close to the store and an amazing pizza place Pizza Pata. are 5 minutes away.

This home is amazing!!! So close to everything,  but felt like we were secluded.  Kids were fish in the pool, and the AC was amazing!!!

Loved this place. Beautiful home and pool and casita. My kids and grandkids and I loved this place and it accommodated our family very well. The iguanas came out around us all the time. Beautiful wood fixtures everywhere. Loryl always got right back to me when I had questions. We had someone that came and cleaned everyday and Andres the concierge was so friendly and helpful with excursions and local information. I would recommend this place highly.

IWe stayed here for a week amidst the COVID19 pandemic in order to get out of San José and spend some time outdoors with our kids. Maricela and her crew did an outstanding job hosting us , following all of the health minister’s guidelines and restrictions for maintaining social distancing (the housekeeper came daily wearing a mask and gloves). The hospitality of Maricela really made our stay worth it! She met us at the house on time, ordered massages for us, set up a horseback riding tour for us and the kids, and even had food brought to the house for us. It was pretty great. The Pool was the cleanest we have seen in our Airbnb experiences in Costa Rica. Super big and a man came to clean it and check the levels everyday. The house itself was wonderful - beds were comfy, beautiful kitchen. Unfortunately the large gas grill was not working but they provided a smaller charcoal grill. Plenty of room to spread out. Safe neighborhood!

Beautiful propertie with great staff. Well located and decorated. Loved the costa rican feel of the house and the amazing nature surrounding it. Maricela, the concierge was really helpful during our stay and we enjoyed the catering service on our last night there. My family and I loved Costa Rica and this establishment and staff had a significant role in it. We will definitely be visiting again.

My group had a fantastic time at Loryl's villa.  The house and the property itself are stunning, the rooms are well laid out, clean and we had a great time using the pool area.  Maricela, the property manager, was helpful in organizing airport transfers for our group and for setting up a boat tour, and poolside massages for us (which we highly recommend). We found that the property was a bit far from the beach; the beach that this villa is closest to is a true surf beach, perfect for professionals but the waters are a bit harsh for the average traveller with it's rip currents.  We had to take a car to reach calmer waters (~$10 USD). I cannot recommend Gustavo enough, the in house chef that was recommended to us by the property owners.  We had breakfast cooked for us every morning, he made a great effort to cook us something new every day.  We loved his cooking so much that we asked him to cook us two dinners as well.  He was a fantastic addition to our stay and really made us feel like we were at a resort.  The villa is located in a gated community and we unfortunately received noise complaints during the day and in the evenings, as early as 9pm while we were out enjoying the pool and deck area.  I would be concerned as a large group staying here, as we were 11 people and ran into issues.  If this villa was booked out at it's full capacity I imagine you would run into problems regarding noise.  We did have some issues during our stay with the BBQ, washer and ice machine being broken.  The house manager was helpful in dropping a charcoal BBQ off for our stay and service people were sent during our stay to deal with the other issues.

Great place to stay for  our large group. Everyone could spread out and never felt like on top of one another. The pool is awesome after spending time exploring Costa Rica. It has everything you need to cook meals so we took advantage of having barbecues and cooking breakfast. There are 2 horses that came every morning and afternoon to the fence that borders the property to visit so we fed them apples and carrots each day. Just a really nice property to stay and felt it was well located for the things we planned to do while we were there. Maricela was great and helped us arrange excursions and even find the grocery store and a pizza place. We had such a great time none of us wanted to leave! We will be back and extend our stay long her next time. I highly recommend and stay longer than a week because there is so much to see and do!

The house is beautiful, to be with a spectacular family. The place is very quiet and very close to Jaco in case anything takes care of it. If they meet the cleaning, the only thing is that there was no rice cooker and we didn't bring it, so we had to buy one.

La casa es hermosa, para estar en familia espectacular. El lugar muy tranquilo y muy cercano a Jaco por si se ocupa algo. Si cumplen con la limpieza, lo único es que no había olla arrocera y no llevamos, por lo que tuvimos que comprar una.
