About
A big-group villa built for events — girls' trips, bachelor parties, family stays — with a pool and waterslide, a basketball court, a gym down the street, and the beach around the corner. The hosts coordinate the whole itinerary: transport to and from SJO, fishing and boat trips, and a private-chef dinner that's a repeated highlight. It's a lively party house for large groups more than a quiet retreat; confirm the details and amenities you need before you book.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing stay – above and beyond in every way! We had an incredible stay here with my fiancé and a group of friends, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about this place or the host. From start to finish, everything was seamless, well-organized, and exceeded our expectations. Matthew went above and beyond to accommodate us and help plan an unforgettable trip. He booked and coordinated everything for our group, and every detail was handled perfectly. Our itinerary included zip-lining, a girls’ boat excursion and a guys fishing trip. Matthew coordinated all necessary transportation to PVV and SJO and for rides to and from our events planed. Not once did we have to stress about logistics—everything ran smoothly and on time. One of the highlights was the private chef dinner on Friday night, where the chef prepared fresh fish that our group caught, followed by a delicious breakfast Saturday morning. It was such a unique and memorable experience and truly made the trip feel special. The property itself was spotless, beautiful, and extremely well-maintained, with so many great amenities that made it perfect for a group stay. It was comfortable, spacious, and felt like a luxury retreat while still being relaxing and welcoming. If you’re looking for a place where the host truly cares, communicates well, and helps create an unforgettable experience, this is it. We would 100% stay here again and will absolutely be recommending this place to friends and family. Thank you, Matthew, for making our trip so amazing!
If I could I would come stay here 10 times a year. This is the most beautiful house so perfect for families and large groups. There is so much to do including the pool and basketball court and the beach right around the corner (gym down the street as well). Jessie has been amazing to work with and is very responsive at all times. I highly recommend staying here and we will be back!!
Can’t say enough about this place, what a cool hidden gem with lots of privacy. The layout and size of the place is trurly something you need to experience. We have stayed in many places around Jaco and this one had a special charm to it that make it unique and stand out from other villas or hotels. The staff is exceptional and super professional they attended to all our needs and gave helpful advice. From the pool to waterslide and the basketball court, this place had everything to keep everyone on our trip busy. Special thanks to Jessie and Kori for everything they did. We especially like how safe and secure we felt while staying here, and special thanks goes to Johnathan for cooking some amazing meals for us. We will return and we highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to hit up Jaco Beach in Costa Rica ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
