About this property

Jaco's Beachfront Event Center

Jaco's Beachfront Event Center
This first-class private oceanfront complex on spectacular Jaco Beach, Costa Rica – is perfect for large groups – up to 60 people -- for corporate retreats & seminars or a well-earned vacation bonus for loyal employees who deserve that special “Thank You” from management.

Of Course The Event Center is also well suited for family or high school reunions, bachelor parties, weddings with receptions and church retreats. No matter what your special event is, we can and will accommodate you in style. Want a catered dinner party with a salsa, reggae or rock band by the pool? No problem.

The numbers are impressive. This outstanding vacation rental includes two next-door beachfront homes connected by an inside-the-gate pass through. It has a combined 16-bedrooms, 18-bathrooms, 2.5 kitchens, 16-flat screen TVs, sound systems, internet, sofa sleepers throughout, fully air-conditioned, expansive outdoor decks, two tropical beachfront swimming pools and an elevated Tiki Hut sun deck overlooking the ocean. Both homes have enormous 2nd-floor panoramic verandas looking out over the Pacific.

The Event Center is outfitted with only the finest locally produced furnishings, granite kitchen-counter tops, stainless steel appliances and Costa Rican art work. This is the vacation beachfront retreat of your dreams. It defines the “WOW” factor – complete with a front-row-seat for breathtaking, blazing sunsets every afternoon.

Located only 62-miles from the San Jose airport, the privacy this compound offers is unequalled on Jaco Beach because it’s at the end of a dead-end beachfront paved road with downtown Jaco only a mile away.

The Event Center also offers 24/7 security and off-street-gated parking. We have an expert staff and gourmet chef services available to our guests. Golf cart rentals are available, too. All lifestyles are welcome.

World famous Jaco Beach – a mecca for surfers since the 1960s – offers a vibrant night life, superb restaurants for any appetite, casinos and sports bars – it’s all only a short walk up the beach or a quick cab ride. Close by are also grocery stores, bakeries, banks, pharmacies, dentists, doctors, surf shops, boutiques and souvenir shops.

Our concierge will hook you up with any adventure tour now operating on or near Jaco – sunset horseback rides on the beach, ziplining & mountain tramway, ATV mountain rides, parasailing, white-water rafting, waterfalls, off-shore deep-sea fishing, yoga classes, surfing & standup paddle board lessons, clear water SCUBA diving & snorkeling, mountain hiking & repelling, day trips to Manuel Antonio National Park, Tortuga Island and other locations. Private chef services are available and provided by Mahi Mahi restaurant and bar located on site. Once completed there is no other comparison. Simply put, Rio Mar Villas are #1.

“One thing we guarantee, your stay at The Event Center will be an unforgettable, memory-making beachfront experience beyond compare – so much so you won’t want to go home.”

Pura Vida- 2023

Great property with many amazing amenities! We were a family of 30 and had a great time, the beach is a few steps away and having 2 pools was great for all. The convenience of chefs cooking and doing the shopping was amazing. They cooked great meals and cleaned up afterwards, couldn't have been better. The 24 hour security was a great. The day guard, Ronny was amazing at keeping the property clean on a daily basis. He cleaned all the table tops and went around picking up dirty towels and swapping them for clean ones.Tia, the concierge made all the reservation for all kinds of fun activities. She made it all very easy. It was a resort type service in these 2 beautiful homes. We absolutely loved our stay.

Family reunion trip

We absolutely loved this property! The location was perfect, literally just steps from the beach, and close to the town and attractions. The 2 pools on the property were clean and so fun for the kids as well as the beach. The water temperature of the ocean was perfect! Warmest ocean we’ve ever been in!! Kids never wanted to leave the property. Our concierge, Tia, was extremely helpful and friendly! We rode golf carts into town for groceries, ice cream, a yummy French bakery, and restaurants. We had the chefs cook at the property daily and loved the food and the friendly service. We took our big family of 41 people and had plenty of room for everyone, very comfortable!! There is an on-site security guard and maintenance guy that took care of any issue we had. The surfing was great and the kids of all ages loved playing in the waves. This was our first time to Costa Rica and we were totally delighted with everything! It was a trip to remember in every way! This property was fantastic!

nice for family reunion

We had a large family reunion at Casa Rio Mar and Casa Rio Mar Grande. We asked Matt, the property manager for assistance in scheduling events, transport and meals/chef. This process worked great and Matt was super helpful with local knowledge, etc. Great location on the beach. Only issue was an issue with the plumbing that the security team worked to rectify pretty quickly due to it being off hours.

Our wedding stay!

We recently stayed a week there as well as had our wedding there, services provided by them. It was more then beautiful, they were very accommodating, helped plan my wedding from start to finish, ease my mind and worked above and beyond to make our wedding perfect! From a great location, clean house, offered more then we could imagine from tours and activities and ending is off with a bonfire on the beach. I would very much recommend this property!!! Great job!

PERFECT

There was a large group of us, 15, with an age range from 1 to 68 years old, and this casa was PERFECT! The kitchen allowed for cooking for a large group with ease, with out feeling crowded. The pool has an entry that allowed the children to play with out the water level being over their heads... It was awesome and allowed my niece to gain confidence. The house is at the end of the road, so there was not much traffic (as opposed to a lot of other homes/rentals on the beach in Jaco). The deck allows for unobstructed views of the most AMAZING sunsets that I have ever seen. The house manager, Matt was beyond helpful, arranging/coordinating activities for the group or couples. As a family we made some incredible memories...... I am looking forward to many more.

Property was beautiful and very spacious

We had an awesome time with lots of outings. The fishing trip was the most memorable. The hosts were very helpful in setting up the outings. The house was very clean and well-maintained. I would recommend this to all our family and friends. We left with great memories for ever. Thank you Jim and Matt

BEST SPOT IN JACO FOR COUPLES OR FAMILIES

We had an amazing stay at Casa Rio Mar! Such a perfect place to relax and enjoy Costa Rica. We will definitely visit this location again and bring our kids next time to enjoy this luxury home and all of its amenities. So many things to love about this place: *Best location on Jaco Beach with perfect waves for beginner surfers *Each bedroom has a private bathroom * Perfect pool for families with children *Amazing outdoor deck for sunsets and relaxing *Short walk to downtown Jaco or cheap cab *Security guard on site 24/7.

Amazing house and location! Incredible experience!

Casa Rio Mar Grande is an incredible home on an amazing beach. We had a large group stay for over a week and it proved to be everything we hoped and more! Our group ranged in age from mid-60s to a one-year-old and the house and location really was perfect. Very clean and well decorated. Each bedroom in the home has its own bathroom, which affords perfect privacy in a large group. There is seating galore around the home, and the outside patio is totally covered, creating an outdoor living room area, which is where we spent most of our time. The pool is perfect for staying cool, and lounging around. The entry to the pool is a few steps into a flat shallow area that is a perfect size for small kids to play in - which ours did all day. I can’t stress enough how great the pool is! There is a wonderfully large raised deck that looks out over the beach. The deck gets wonderful breezes and provides the perfect place to watch the surfers ride the waves. The property is very well maintained with beautiful landscaping. We were visited regularly by small salamanders, iguanas, and Costa Rican squirrels. We saw toucans at the house, and macaws, as well. In addition to the property itself surpassing our expectations, we were very pleased with the assistance and guidance provided by the house manager, Matt, and the house owner, Jim. Having English-speaking contacts to facilitate our trip in numerous ways was really key for our group. From arranging transfers to and from the airport, to arranging amazing excursions for a group with varying interests, to stopping in to make sure we had everything we needed, they were very responsive to our needs and we couldn't have asked for better hosts. Our stay at Casa Rip Mar Grande and the entire trip was all really more than we had hoped for. We will definitely be back!
