9 Bedroom Modern Luxury Oceanfront Home on Jaco Beach - Casa Rio Mar

*** Voted 'Best Ocean Front Beach House on Jaco Beach***

Where the Costa Rican rainforest kisses the sea is where you’ll find luxurious Casa Rio Mar – the perfect oceanfront vacation home – complete with everything you would expect in a first-class comfortable private residence to make your beachfront experience on Jaco Beach extraordinary in every way.

Casa Rio Mar – once voted as Jaco’s ‘Best Beach House’ -- is 5000-square feet of luxury with 9-bedrooms, 9-baths, a fully-equipped modern kitchen with chef services available, a gorgeous dining space and living room with huge flat-screen TV overlooking a fabulous oceanfront swimming pool surrounded by lush tropical landscaping featuring eye-popping-jaw-dropping oceanfront sunsets every afternoon.

Guests of Casa Rio Mar often compare it to living on a stunning beachfront national park – the perfect setting for family or high school reunions, weddings with receptions, bachelor parties, church groups/retreats, corporate functions or any special event. Need a salsa, reggae or rock band by the pool? No problem. All life styles are welcome at Casa Rio Mar.

Only 62-miles from the San Jose International Airport is spectacular Jaco Beach – Costa Rica’s largest beach town but it retains that small-town Pura Vida flavor. There is only one traffic light and it rarely works.

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 grocery stores, bakeries, banks, pharmacies, dentists, doctors, surf shops, boutiques and souvenir shops. Casa Rio Mar also offers 24/7 on-site security plus off-street-gated parking. Golf cart rentals are available.

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.

Casa Rio Mar will do whatever we can to make your stay unsurpassed and unforgettable. We have many perpetual guests that return year-after-year for a reason because we will kiss-the-sky for you. Whether you want 100 guests for a catered wedding reception or a private candlelit dinner on the beach we can do it all.

One thing we guarantee, your stay at Casa Rio Mar will be a memory-making beachfront experience beyond compare – so much so you won’t want to go home.

Best place we have ever stayed

Fifteen of us stayed for six days. They kept asking where I found this wonderful place. The house was perfect for us. The pool was so warm and welcoming. The beach was perfect. The sunrises and sunsets were amazing. Many enjoyed the surf and leaning to surf. The food that the chefs cooked for us was absolutely delicious. We appreciated the scheduling help from Tia.

Highly recommend

I stayed at this property with my family and it was more than I could have imagined. The house was located right on the beach and we were able to surf right out front. Tia, Ronny and the cleaning staff were awesome, they took great care of us. I highly recommend this house to anyone looking to come to Jaco. Thank you for everything, I can't wait to come back!

A Vacation Cut Short (Bed Bugs)

First off, the house is nice and the staff are great. We had a nice time here for a few days. We were visiting with 14 family members for a birthday celebration. Unfortunately, my family member was bitten by beg bugs on her legs, abdomen, and face. The sheets had red/brown stains suggesting the presence of bed bugs and the mattress had large dark brown stains also suggesting bed bugs. My family member went to the doctor who confirmed the bed bug bites. We left the home after discovering the issue and needed to stay in a hotel. The owner of the home did not take responsibility for the bed bugs and blamed the beach. The owner hired an exterminator to visually inspect the property and they did not see any bed bugs. That said, it may have been an early infestation with a few bugs which could be extremely hard to find visually (is what our doctor said). Plus the mattress and sheets showed evidence as well. Ultimately the ownership did what they could, but we did not feel comfortable staying at the home and needed to leave. The owner has so far refused to give us a refund despite the evidence from the doctor, the dirty sheets, and the mattress. They said they would fumigate the place (they also need to replace these mattresses). Overall we were having a great time even if Jaco isnt the best spot in Costa Rica (not the prettiest beach and downtown is not tourist friendly), but the house cleanliness left my family member bitten on her face and us stuck in a hotel.

Great location and Staff

Home is well equipped and is really a great layout for a large family. We were 17 and we fit with no problem. Tia the concierge, was a great asset. She helped with excursions, chefs, restaurants and any other questions we had. Robbie who was the on site manager/security was always there to help. nice property. Would return again.

Beautiful Villa

Everything about the experience was perfect, the villa is a great layout was very clean, and the host Tia took care of everything. It’s also at a perfect location in Jaco, close enough to town to walk, but at the nicer end of the beach.

Beach retreat for a large group

The home is positioned on the south end of Jaco Beach so away from the hustle of the town. The ocean floor in front of the home is terrific for ocean sports. The gentle, high tide waves are perfect for beginner surfers. The home accommodates a large group. We slept 16 easily among 3 young families. There were some needs during our stay and the property manager was very responsive. There are full-time security guards so safety was never an issue.

Loved Casa Rio Mar!

We spent 10 days at Casa Rio Mar over Christmas and New Year's. What a perfect location to celebrate the holidays. Perfect weather every day in an amazing location. Everything is close by - restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and plenty of activities. Casa Rio Mar sits oceanfront in Jaco and really includes all amenities needed to enjoy a fantastic break. Matt was a great host, offering local advice on things to do, places to go, and lined up some amazing adventures during our stay. Sun, sand and surf at your doorstep! Our activities: -Fishing out of Herradura. Matt lined us up with an outstanding Captain. We caught six large Mahi and two sailfish. Captain Henry and first mate Will were amazing. -A day at Tortuga Island with the entire family, included snorkeling, sun on a small quaint island. -A day at The Ranch at Ocean Park where we rode ATV's, zipline, waterfall repelled and rode horses. The all day pass includes lunch at their new restaurant and a guide for the day. Jose was incredible! And only 15 minutes outside of Jaco. -New Year's Eve sunset horseback ride with Cowboy Tours for the entire family. So fun, well timed and organized. -Monkey Mangrove Tour was so cool. A two hour tour on a boat with a guide. We had Crazy Alex as our guide, who could speak to the animals - amazing. We saw many monkeys, iguana, raccoon, birds and various plant species. -Matt lined up a couple of excellent chefs to cook for us at dinner. What a great experience and the food/service was impeccable. No need to rent cars. Rent golf carts or cab around town. The security guards were excellent, taking care of us and the home. Jaco Beaches are very well maintained. Surfing was great for all ages and abilities. We cannot wait to return! The McDonnell Family

We loved this house!

My family of eight, which included my husband and myself, my eldest son who is 22, my 12 and 13 year olds, my sister and my elderly parents ( both 84 ) enjoyed this vacation home very much. There was plenty of space and privacy for each of us. The beds were awesome, great linens, and towels too. We chose to use the professional chef services which was amazing. The location was perfect, right on the beach with a private pool too! We had surf boards, boogie boards and other toys to use and the security guards on the property were awesome too. Great trip!

AMAZING Vacation house!

Casa Rio Mar is a truly beautiful home on the best part of Jaco beach. We were a group of 11 (6 adults and 5 teenagers) and the home fit us perfectly. A huge thank you to Jim, the owner, Susan, who created our itinerary and booked our excursions and Edwin who made us feel at home making sure our trip was nothing but amazing! We highly recommend the chef services also. Jose was awesome and cooked us 4 incredible meals. Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home and helping us create lasting memories with our families!

For all ages

We booked this property with our whole family as a treat for our 35th anniversary. Matt was so accommodating with ages ranging from 3 months to 60 years. Only one problem was not being able to rent crib reasonably. Had to bring a Pack 'n Play on the plane. The pool and beach were so close that we could take the kids to either without being far from needed items. We sat by the beach with our coffee in the morning while the kids played in the sand or adults went to the ocean. As it got hotter during the day we used the pool or enjoyed a beer in the beautifully groomed yard. Everyone got a kick out of the iguanas that would scoop up our food scraps in the back yard. Going to town was easy with a taxi and just a few $. We had a chef come in and cook for us 2 nights which was wonderful and reasonable with all the leftovers we had the next day. The house was large enough for all of us (8 adults and 4 children). We didn't do any excursions as we have been to Costa Rica twice b4 and we just wanted to relax and enjoy our kids and grandkids, however 4 of the kids went zip-lining and really enjoyed it. We always felt very safe and our security guard/ grounds keeper was 24/7 helpful with whatever we needed. (Transportation, tours, translation, clean-up maintenance, etc.) We only had one suggestion for Matt, ceiling fans. Keep up the good work, this family from Wisconsin will always remember the great time we had at Casa Rio Mar.

Pura Vida!!

By far the best stay I've had in all the countries I've traveled to. We were a group of 7 guys, and from the moment we stepped into the house, Matt who I guess you would call our property manager (wore many hats including FRIEND, concierge, travel guide) was very accommodating. The house was huge, and immaculate when we came in for our 3 day stay. We were surprised to find out that we had 24 hour security, who were two of the nicest guys one could ask for. They were very responsive to all our needs and made sure no one came on the grounds that was not welcome. The sunset/sunrise from the front of the house is indescribable, and being steps away from the ocean is priceless. Overall was a 5+ star experience, and wouldn't look elsewhere to stay for the next trip. Matt suggested we use his chef and bartender for our gentleman's sit down dinner, and I would highly recommend using them as well. The Mojito's and Costa Rican food/drinks that were made, were memorable and really let us enjoy the Costa Rican food in a high end fashion.
