This house was perfect for us! Great layout, beautiful pool and grounds. The homeowner communicated with me to make sure we had everything we needed. ##### Heather M. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rob M. 2 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome Wildlife! Jaco Homes was amazing at communicating for all our needs. They helped with Taxi's, Personal Chef, tours, power outage, and check out... I will be using them again when I come visit again. ##### Rob M. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason and Heather D. 21 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing View! This is our 9th trip to Costa Rica and this is one of the best views we've experienced. We enjoyed the BBQ grill, the shade and the breeze from the rooftop deck as well as the panoramic view of both Hermosa and Jaco. We had white faced monkeys on the property most days when we were home around sunset. We are cooks, and the kitchen was well equipped with everything you need. Bonus rice cooker and instant pot. We enjoyed the pool and the hammocks with their own secluded area and view. We loved the East meets West decor and would highly recommend this home. ##### Jason and Heather D. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas O. 22 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house in the hills with fantastic ocean/beach views Our group of 7 adults enjoyed 6 nights at this wonderful home. The description in the listing was spot on. There are several outdoor sitting areas from which to enjoy the view (and we used all of them!) and the wildlife. We had three in our group who were working remotely and they had no trouble finding a quiet place to complete their projects (decent WIFI too). The location was not a problem for us, but I would suggest a 4WD vehicle is necessary during rainy season on the steep and rutted dirt road up to the house. That said, it was only a ten minute drive down the mountain to the nearest store for essentials. Finally, the hosts were exceptional in their response to any questions or issues that we had during our stay. I could not ask for a better experience. ##### Thomas O.
