Water Water Water
We stayed here for a week and everything was going well until it started raining inside the condo? That’s right INSIDE the bottom floor condo. The rain came gushing in from the top of the washer/dryer area. When we looked at the ceiling it was covered in mold. The kitchen sink is falling and doesn’t hold water because the seal was non existent which led to water all over the floor. The pounding of the construction on the second floor was horrible for the last 3 days. The location was very nice and the beach was awesome but I would not recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit Costa Rica. Stay in a resort.

Steps from the ocean
This beach is the best of the 4 beaches for collecting sea glass since there aren't many shells here! The condo has its own exit through the patio since it's a first floor unit and it's 60 seconds to the beach. This beach is great for walking, has surf lessons and restaurants galore. This town is great for souvenirs and great food. We're a little old for night life but enjoyed our stay and activities (quad tour). The place itself is also amazing with two good sized bedrooms, in unit washer and dryer, huge feeling of space and a full kitchen. You cannot go wrong with this rental!

Great place to relax and unwind
We loved having the main floor unit right by the pool with easy access to the beach. The private patio was a great place to read and dine. We appreciated having the fat bikes to ride into Jacó for groceries, restaurants and shopping. The hosts were responsive and friendly. The glasses and cutlery were not totally clean when we arrived but the dishwasher solved that. Having access to Crocs pool was fun. It was a quiet time of year so noise and privacy were not significant for this main floor unit. The beach was nicer than closer to Jaco and the sunsets were beautiful.

Beach paradise
This place was exactly as advertised. You can sit outside or inside and hear the ocean all day, and the beach is litterly a few feet from the room. We loved it and may look into buying a unit. The resort next door was not too busy (low season) but nice pool. Jaco is a very safe and friendly place.

Wonderful host and condo
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Palms. Our only complaints were the water pressure wasn’t good at all and the water didn’t get warmer than luke warm. The shower floor was a bit slippery but that could easily be fixed with a shower mat. All the air conditioning units worked well except the first bedroom. It would say it is at 26, but didn’t feel anything like it did at 26 in the living room and 2nd bedroom. Other than those minor issues, everything was great. Wonderful location and the pool was so relaxing to hang out by.

Perfect location
We stayed here for three nights after a week stay in La Fortuna. The property was very safe and steps away from the beach. The pool was so close and very clean. We were happily surprised at how easy it was to access the Crocs pool which was wonderful. We rented a car and were able to easily find a good place to eat. We would recommend eating breakfast at Mary's Diner. We went there twice and it was delicious each time. The washer and dryer were a wonderful added bonus. Especially since we were coming from La Fortuna with a suitcase full of dirty clothes.

Paradise
What a wonderful vacation! The 2 king beds were very comfortable. The A.C. worked great. The condo was very clean. Everything you need was in the kitchen. A $4.00 U.S. taxi ride brought you to downtown Jaco where there were lots of restaurants and souvenir shopping.. You could also walk. El Manglar is a quick walk for amazing dinners and much less than Croc's. Right around the corner was Soda La China if you wanted a cheap breakfast or lunch that is very good. The pool was right outside the patio of this ground floor condo with beautifully warm water. The ocean was also very close. There was the use of an ajoining property for those that wanted a lively pool day and it was also very nice and similar to a resort property including hot tubs. We preferred the relaxing quiet pool outside our door with easy access to the washroom and fridge. Wild Macaws visited in pairs daily and were beautiful to see. Ron and Kristine (the owners) were in their personal condo unit and were very prompt in answering all questions, offering recommendations, and dealing with any concerns. We have rented numerous properties through VRBO in years past. Nothing comes close to this property. This property on the ocean is truly paradise. Thanks Kristine and Ron for a fabulous vacation!

Fantastic vacation home
Our family had a wonderful stay at this home. It was exactly as described and pictured. The best feature of this property is the owner Kristine, who was simply wonderful to us. From the moment we booked, she was so helpful in answering any and all questions we had and offering her help to plan excursions and fun things to do for us as first timers to Costa Rica. A big thanks also to her referral for our driver David, who picked us up from the airport, he's awesome! We had a great time relaxing and going on many adventures, highly recommend!!!

Great Stay
We really loved our stay. The condo was amazing and had everything you could ever need. The location was fabulous and having Croc's next door for drinks and coffee was a huge plus. We loved having the bikes to ride to the downtown area for breakfast. The only thing we didn't like was the shade that covered the large slider in the living room and bedroom was see-through, particularly in the evening. It was a little uncomfortable at night knowing that someone could look right in a see you, and we had to be sure to change in the bathrooms-curtains would be a quick fix! Check in and out was easy and the washing machine in the unit was useful for washing all our clothes before leaving.

Our vacation to Jaco was absolutely perfect and the accommodations that Kristine provided were exceptional. The condo is quite big and has everything you could possibly need. The beds were very comfortable. We especially enjoyed sitting on the deck and enjoying the sea breeze from the beach. We loved the access to Crocs pool and there is a lot of places to dine and pick up necessities. Kristine was very welcoming and helpful, checking in on us and responding to all of our needs. We would definitely rent again! You will not regret picking this amazing condo on the beach.

It was amazing in every way
From the moment we booked this condo and throughout our stay Kristine went above and beyond to ensure our vacation would be amazing! I’ve booked numerous vacations through many venues and never had anyone with so many helpful hints and hookups to ensure my family would have the ultimate vacation. The condo had everything we needed. The location was perfect. It was close to everything we wanted to do. She suggested many different activities and we did them all. She suggested we use a private driver instead of renting a car and I was so grateful she did. David our driver was amazing and we made a lifetime friend with him. I’ve never been more comfortable with someone driving my family around as I was with him. I highly recommend him. This is my favorite vacation I’ve taken and I credit this perfect experience to Kristine. There are a couple of Macaws that come eat from the almond tree right behind the condo daily. We also saw a Tucan just down the road. There is security on location who come to the door to let you know when your ride arrives. The pool is right behind the condo and you can sit on the patio and watch your kids swim. The beach is just steps away as are several restaurants. You can walk down the beach and be in downtown Jaco in no time. Everyone was very friendly. The entire experience is something my family will never forget. We can’t wait to go back. My only regret was not being able to meet Kristine as she was out of the country when we got there but she called me to make sure we got settled in ok and stayed in touch to ensure everything was perfect for us. Thank you Kristine for helping us make so many great memories. We will be back. Pura Vida. 🥰
