A perfect property for beach lovers and persons wanting to learn how to surf. Another plus is walking distance down the beach to places to eat and drink. Our family had a great stay. Jennifer is an excellent host. John
Our stay at the Joya del Pacifica, South Beach Paradise, was absolutely wonderful!!!Fabian was extremely helpful. Marta was a gem! Cali was excellent! The location is ideal and we enjoyed much time on the beach and in the ocean.The surfing lessons were the biggest hit... and right from the house! We'd love to come back
The Host was extremely responsive and accommodating! Tiger, Marta and Diego were spectacular and really made our stay one for the books! Great driver Charlie! The staff was outstanding! Great house steps from the beach! Very happy! Will come back for sure. Erik
We enjoyed everything about the property: location on the beach, walkability to restaurants and bars, beautiful grounds, amenities, roominess of the house, kitchen, and pool. It is an ideal property for a relaxing vacation!
The accommodations was fantastic, staff and services meet all of our needs.

Thank you Chris for your nice comments! Love to have you guys back soon, you were a pleasure to have! Check out our Facebook page to keep updated on the 7 bedroom Castle we are building for next stay! But yes, you are right you cannot beat the beach house because of its ideal location! Pura Vida
Perfect place for our large family with separate suite and large rooms in the main house. In a quiet corner at the end of the beach with easy access to the ocean and other amenities. Helpful staff and security for safety. Would stay again if back in the area. Thanks for having us!
My family, friends and I had a wonderful time in this Jaco beach house. The location was perfect for our surfers and all the rooms were fantastic! Attached bathrooms for all but one room provided a luxury that can't be understated.The large, well stocked kitchen and super long dinning table made cooking and eating meals a joy. The daily cleaner made cleanup easy. The nightly security guard was incredibly helpful and friendly. I would recommend this house to anyone travelling to the Jaco area and would love to return.

We had a great vacation & loved the house and staff.
We stayed for 7 nights, and loved every minute of it. The house is beautiful and very spacious. The owners were great to deal with and the houses staff was wonderful too (they don't speak much English, so knowing a little Spanish helps). The houses location was great, you're at the end of the beach so you're not surrounded by a bunch of commotion. I would definitely stay there again if we return to Jaco.

Wonderful Family Vacation
This was a wonderful family vacation. We had events scheduled for almost every day, pure enjoyment. But the best part was our "home" in Jaco. Plenty of room for 12, right on the surfing end of the beach with a pool for family fun. We loved the place so much, we had most of our dinners right here. Within walking distance to the town and lovely shops and eateries. Marta kept our place spotless and yet was unobtrusive. My family would love to make this a yearly trip.

Can’t wait to have you and your family back! Pura Vida!!! Jen
The house is beautiful and well maintained. The staff greatly exceeded our expectations. They were courteous, patient, and helpful. Most spoke better english than we do spanish. They were more than eager to attend to any need or request we had. The location on the beach in Jayco is gorgeous. Easy to get to yet secure. Tons of trips/excursions close by which the staff most professionally coordinated for us. The chef prepared meals were delicious! Our family experienced a vacation we will long remember!
If anything, the photos don’t do this home and its location justice. The beach is literally right outside the gates, and the views from most rooms in the house are amazing. We stayed here after a cruise from Panama, and the location was perfect. Jen and Fabian, the property managers, helped us set up everything, from the shuttles to and from the airport, to the baby cribs and helping us get groceries and arrange tours. I didn’t know enough about Costa Rica to even know what we were looking for, and this was a lucky find! We all loved our stay here. I highly recommend Joya Del Pacifica!
Jen and all of the crew were amazing.
Mar(housekeeper) and Pablo (security guard) were always there to help with anything we needed!
Diego(chef) came to the house and cooked the best meals!!!
Fabian(property manager) booked all excursions & transportation.
We were spoiled this whole week! I can’t thank Jen and the crew enough! This is a definite MUST book!
We were truly spoiled this whole vacation !!
House was great for our family. Good staff with housekeeper and security. Rated 4 stars due to non operating dishwasher. We wound up doing dishes most nights as we did not want to leave them overnight for housekeeper next day. Concerned about attracting pests.

Wow my first non-5 star review 😜 wish I was informed I would have it fixed the next day! Thank you again for booking with us!
There were 10 of us that stayed on the property. The location is amazing. The boys all loved their surf lessons with Cali he was out in front of the house daily. There’s a spot up the beach you can rent boogie boards or book a fishing excursion. The property manager helped arrange our trip to the monkey mangrove tour (a must do)and set up our zip lining trip. The hike up to El Miro was incredible. This was an amazing trip! Pablo and Marta are amazing staff that are on site daily. Thank you Jen and Mike this is a trip we will never forget.

Best Vacation
Stayed here with 9 friends for my bachelor party. WE HAD A BLAST! Fabian who was a driver that the owner suggested picked us up from the airport and took great care of us throughout the trip. The staff at the house were great as well, always someone on site so never to worry. There was a maid that went through the house and cleaned up every morning.
You have your own access to the beach, LIKE COMMMMMON!!! It was an amazing time and we couldn't ask for anything better. Amazing trip!

Thank you for your review, we take a lot of pride in our house and glad you guys had a blast! Pura Vida! Happy Soon to be Wedding day!!! Come back for a couples trip!
Everything was very easy from start to finish. The house easily accommodated 8 adults and 9 kids, aged 20 mos to 14yrs The staff was excellent, especially Marte, the housekeeper, who always smiled . Communication was excellent. Location was perfect. Having 15 horses ride right up to the house from the beach, for an afternoon of riding, was awesome. Travel logistics were amazing and easy. So much to do. This is a lifetime memory made possible by such an outstanding venue.

Awesome house and amazing host!!!
We stayed at this beautiful house for a week and we don't have enough words to describe how amazing and incredible it was, beginning with the owner Jen who was very generous, helpful and accommodating and ending with the house staff whom are very kind and lovely people.
The house is extremely beautiful and well kept, with and amazing view of the whole Jaco Beach Bay that included a breath taking view of the sunset. The location couldn't be any more perfect since you are literally on the sand, just step out of the back gate and take 20 steps and your feet are wet.
We could't be happier with our stay and would very much recommend this house over any other property I've ever stayed in.

Thank you Carlos for your kind review! You and your family and friends were so kind to our staff they are looking forward to your return! Touch base with us end of this year for our completion date of the other properties being built!

We were a family of 10, ranging in age from 72 to 2 and stayed November 23-30, 2019. This is a beautiful property exactly as described and even more impressive when you actually are there. Marta and Pablo were wonderful, especially to my grandchildren. We had Marisol prepare two dinners, our first night and after a long day at Manuel Antonio park. Both meals were exceptional, especially the salad the first night, and it was great to arrive tired and not have to worry about meal preparation. Having the ocean steps from the house made it easy to swim every day! I would highly recommend Joya de Pacifico for any large group and especially for families.
