The amenities listed need a more thorough description. We picked this property based on it having air conditioning as my husband needs it for a health condition. What the listing doesn't state is the host wants the AC turned off any time you are not in the apartment and came in without notification to turn it off. This felt like a invasion of privacy and made us very uneasy. Also, the washer and dryer listed is available but for 5 USD per wash and per dry and can only be accessed at the host's convenience. Pool was nice and the plants and flowers around the property are lovely. ##### Sandy A. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Anita M. 30 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Problems with refund La Perlita itself was everything I had hoped for - comfortable, close to the beach, restaurants, markets, but we ran into major problems when trying to get our refund for one week, that we had cancelled 2 months earlier. We still have not received it and have had little support from both the host and VRBO ##### Anita M. Stayed 21 nights in Jan 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### zully r. 13 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Jaco Nice ##### zully r. Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie R. 29 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Two weeks in Jaco We stayed with Marc and Pierrette for 2 weeks with our 9 and 11 year old. We all really enjoyed our two bedroom unit on the second floor (next to the hosts). We had a beautiful backyard view with lots of animals and birds. The rooms were spacious. The pool was very nice and the property was quiet and felt very safe. The location on a dead end street was far enough from the main street it wasn't too loud but close enough that we walked to the beach or walked for groceries or supper 1 or 2 times per day without feeling it was a chore. ##### Jamie R. Stayed 13 nights in Mar 2022 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel H. 8 Jul 2017 #### Nice Apartment Nice apartment with 2 bedrooms and a living room/kitchen. Each room has an in-wall air conditioning unit which is vital since Jaco is very hot and humid. I did not love Jaco. The beach was all rocks and the downtown was very touristy. We drove to Manuel Antonio and the beach in the national park was amazing. We saw monkeys up close and the beach was sandy and protected from undertoe because it is on an inlet. If you like surfing, Jaco might be nice for you. Bring water shoes if you plan on swimming at the beach at Jaco. ##### Rachel H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2017 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert V. 20 Feb 2017 #### LA PERLITA , UNE PERLE, NOTRE PERLE -THE BEST OF THE BEST-ABSOLUTAMENTE EL MEJOR- Dire que c'est le meilleur appartement que nous ayons loué pour nous semble évident. La Perlita pour nous a tout simplement été notre perle et nous a procuré un séjour sécuritaire, mémorable et extraordinaire à Jaco. Tout, absolument tout, était partfait. C'est de loin l'appartement le mieux équipé que nous ayons loué au cours des années. Le fait que nous soyons à 5 minutes de la plage et du centre de Jaco a aussi été très attrayant. Et, le plus important, nous avons été reçus par les hôtes les plus accueillants et les plus chaleureux qu'il nous ait été donné de rencontrer. Pierrette et Marc nous ont aidé avec absolument tout: d'information, à référence pour des soins médicaux, à directions, et à réservations, tout - tout. Ils aiment recevoir des visiteurs si bien qu'après quelques heures, nous ne nous sentons plus comme visiteurs, mais comme des invités, voire des amis. ABSOLUMENT rien à reprocher à La Perlita, tout à souligner. Si vous séjournez à Jaco et que vous n'allez pas à La Perlita, vous serez perdant. Point! Merci Pierrette et Marc! Merci La perlita! Merci Jaco et à très très bientôt j'en suis sûr! Robert et Aniela Vézina, Gatineau, Québec, CANADA. ##### Robert V. Stayed 9 nights in Feb 2017 ---
