A family-friendly place to enjoy the beach and relax at the same time. The house has all the amenities, and Jefferson, the property manager, is always attentive and helpful. We will definitely be back.

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

The beach house was a dream! The pool is in the back, and the magnificent Pacific Ocean is in the front. We immediately felt at home and didn't want to leave at the end. The caretaker, Jefferson, and his mother took care of our well-being: laundry service, he kept an eye on us in the waves, and when we left, he opened coconuts for us as a farewell. Overall: highly recommended!

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 🌊☀️

We loved it; the access to the beach is great, and the place is very quiet, with few people, so you can enjoy it in privacy.
