We had a great time. Your place was an easy drive to playa manta. Which is where we spent most of the time. Is was close to the pool. Only problem was, we weren't able to grill our by the pool. Maybe next time. ;) Thanks for everything.

Understanding

We didn't stay; my fiancée's flight plans were hung up. Jacques and Melissa maintained positive contact before and during our dashed plans. We didn't burn any bridges with our short-notice cancelation, which is nice, because we really want to stay there! We will book again sometime in the near future. Thank you Jacques and Melissa for understanding!

Wonderful place for our first month in Costa Rica!

Superb place located just 1 hour from San Jose airport and less than 20 minutes from several beaches, restaurants, grocery stores (car recommended). Very warm welcome from Melissa, the property manager. Very easy communication with the owner and Melissa who respond very quickly to our requests and even asked about our comfort. Possibility to speak in French, English and Spanish. The property is secured by very friendly and welcoming staff. We lacked nothing. Lots of storage, plenty of towels, beach chairs… The bed and pillows are comfortable. The towels are soft and dry quickly. The energy of this villa is soothing. It is a bit noisy during the day (trucks, dogs, maintenance of outdoor spaces), but if you go exploring during the day, you will find a peaceful place in the evening. For our part, we were teleworking there, which explains why we experienced a bit of everything. That being said, it is a great place for 2 teleworkers, since it is completely soundproof inside. Also, the WiFi is excellent. It was very pleasant to go for a walk in our little community at lunchtime and to chat with the friendly neighbours who live there or who have rented, just like us. The community pool is quiet, clean and surrounded by impressive and mature trees. The regular maintenance guarantees a little corner of paradise. Our stay took place during the rainy season. What a pleasure to hear the relaxing sound of the rain, while we could have a drink on the small balcony on the 2nd floor, have dinner on the patio and enjoy the jacuzzi which are all covered. We highly recommend watching the sunset at Villa Caletas, located only 5 minutes from the villa. We also loved having dinner at Guarumos, 300 m away. The departure was emotional. Hoping to return there one day.

Great place to stay to explore the area

This is a great community and was a wonderful home to stay in for our family of 6. There was space for everyone and the pool area was the perfect place to unwind after a day of enjoying the area. Melissa was very responsive and made sure we were set up for a seamless stay.

Fantastic place in a safe neighborhood

We had some major issues with checking into the property but once we were in, our stay was fantastic. The host initially lost our trust when he got mad that I reached out to him at “11:30pm” (he’s in east coast time) but after we got through the check in process, our stay was lovely. The property manager was good to work with as well! Highly recommend staying here!

About the host

Hosted by Jacques Bankier

I am Real Estate Agent in the Washington DC area and plan to retire in a few years in this villa. I visit Costa Rica 3 to 4 times a year and love staying in this area!

Why they chose this property

This is a quality built home, I selected many features that this home has to offer. After much research, I came to the conclusion -This is the best location in all of Costa Rica, to enjoy the wide variety of activities- Playa Blanca and Playa mantis are among the nicest, cleanest and safest beaches in the central Pacific Region, 5 minutes to United Sates type grocery store, ATV/Zip line tours, 15 minutes to Jaco, awesome town with loads of restaurants, night clubs and casinos. I do not recommend beaches in Jaco, for a variety of reasons!
Basically, Ton of amenities very close!!
