Great property manager Meg!

Wow. Place was awesome. Gated community that is steps from the beech. Daughter felt comfortable getting up and running. Very safe. Meg helped us get a great night tour that the kids loved and she also helped me book a massage for my wife and also got us reservations at an amazing restaurant. We will be back.

Great place - private and quiet but close to heart of Jaco

I only got to spend 2 nights here but enjoyed every minute. The communication by the owner/manager was excellent and the Villa had everything needed for a great time. We used the pool onsite and used UBER to head into town. Directly next door to the Crocs Casino. Would stay again!

Vacation with adult children

This was the perfect location for our family. The beach was literally outside the security gate, perfect for our adult children who wanted to surf. The property itself was comfortable, spacious, and a great place to relax together.

Amazing Place and Host!!!!

The house is clean, spacious, and had nice balconies to sit and enjoy coffee, 1 minute to the pool and 2 to the beach. Megan was very, very helpful and gave us great information on Jaco, restaurants, tours, etc. We felt very safe and the security crew was great. We could get a taxi within 1-3 minutes. 5-10 minutes walk to downtown Jaco. Wifi was great, the AC worked great. It was nice to have a washer/dryer as we stayed for 2 weeks. The master bed was comfy and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Better than expected!

The condo turned out to be an ideal location; maybe 200 meters to the beach, thru a secure, gated community. The beachfront had lovely palm trees for shade, as the Costa Rican run is quite intense for us Michiganders. The place had everything we needed, and was clean. Check in/out was very easy, and the host was very responsive. It's a short walk to downtown Jaco, but seemed very safe, even at night. The host-recommended restaurants served incredible food and were reasonably priced, especially for the quality. We'll be back!

Great host and location

Arranging the stay was seamless. Check-in was as easy as it gets. The location of the villa is perfect if you don't want to be in the hustle and bustle of the strip. Just a few minutes to everything. Megan was great. Any issues we had she rectified immediately. She helped arrange most of our activities and made certain we went with people who would keep us safe. We had a great stay at Megan's villa and plan to go straight back to it next time we're in Jaco Beach. Thanks for a great stay Megan!

The kitchen has everything that’s needed to make anything at the house or you can just walk a few minutes to different restaurants and cafes.

Owner was outstanding in making us feel comfortable - thanks! Property could have a few more amenities - refrigerator had malfunctioned, washer and dryer were hard to use (but probably standard for Costa Rica), sparse kitchen materials -no dish towels or dish rages, lack of bottled water, lighting in condo was dim and hard to see in the place even in broad daylight, several areas need deep cleaning. Enjoyed access to the pool and the beach and friendly people! Thanks!

Great rental villa for family!

My family and I enjoyed 2 weeks at Meg’s place. The small gated community is right on Jaco Beach, and the grounds are kept meticulously. The pool was a welcomed sight each day as well! It includes a lovely common area for sitting or playing cards as well. The villa has 3 comfortable bedrooms, all located upstairs, and a great veranda on the backside of the house. We drank coffee and watched the beautiful makaws fly in every morning, and often had wine up there in the evening. We appreciated the fully stocked kitchen as we cooked and ate many meals at home, or prepped lunches to go with us on our beach trips. The house AC works very well when temps and humidity are high. Just a few feet down the beach is a great casual beachside restaurant named Clarita’s. We enjoyed their food very much! Our family highly recommends Meg’s place! We sure hope that we get back there again.

Relaxing vacation

We had a great vacation in Jaco, Costa Rica. Meg was a HUGE help in booking and assisting with tours. This made our trip so much more enjoyable. The only recommendation I would make is to bring plenary of US cash for the tours. The companies charge anywhere from 3% - 10% additional for using a credit card on the tours. The weather was warm and a little humid in July, but we are used to that in Florida. The water was warm and the pool was a refreshing break from time to time. The area where the home is located is gated with 24 hour security - very safe!

Wonderful!

We came to CR for warm weather and relaxation on beach and near pool. We had two couples and there was plenty of room, we enjoyed morning coffee and afternoon happy hour on the upstairs lanai. This property description and photos are very accurate. The beach is beautiful, the pool is clean and delightfully warm. We highly recommend white water rafting and some of us even did horseback riding on the beach. Megan was quick to respond to any questions we had from the moment we inquired and booked. Megan helped us with airport transfer, and also answered questions immediately throughout our entire stay. The house is lovely, there are a lot of activities available in the area and we also enjoyed walking into “town” where we shopped and dined. We had an amazing time and hated to leave!

College Graduation Trip

We truly enjoyed our stay. The location of the Villa was perfect, very close (1 minute walk) to the pool and beach, which were both inviting and serene. The town of Jaco was a short 10-15 minute walk away and had excellent restaurants and shops. If you like to gamble, Crocs Casino is right next door. My son really enjoyed surfing at Jaco beach and Playa Hermosa, which was a short drive away. There is a car rental company a short walk from the Villa if you want to rent a car and explore the National Parks in the area. Our host Megan, was extremely pleasant and eager to help us in any way. She arranged our transportation to/from SJO airport and also recommended some excellent restaurants. She checked in on us during our stay to see if we needed anything and provided recommendations for a bunch of different activities, including surfing and zip lining. The Villa has three bedrooms and 2.5 baths and had plenty of room for five of us. The complex was gated and very secure. We found Costa Rica to be beautiful and the people to be warm and friendly.

Needed a professional cleaning team and repairs.

This place was not clean. the floors had not been mopped in a long time and the downstairs toilet bowl was terrible, the master bathroom had soap scum on the fixtures and the grout in the tiles was dirty. the mirror was dirty and some tiles were cracked on the wall. you could see fingerprints on the door.the patio doors did not lock and the lock on the laundry room outdoor did not lock. critters came in because there were holes in the screen and one window would not close all the way. the only thing true was that it was near a beach and gated.Its not safe.the master bedroom mattress was deplorable. Laundry room had a dirty smelly spin basket. I washed my clothing by hand. main BR tub needed cleaning.

Fabulous 3 weeks!

La Flor, Jaco, CR VRBO 430735 - We had a fabulous 3 weeks staying in this 3 bedroom villa with our family of 5. In general, the house needs a bit of maintenance but this did not prevent us from having a really nice vacation. Here’s what we think prospective guests would appreciate knowing ahead of time: What We Really Liked: Helpful, kind and responsive host, Megan Very close proximity to lovely pool area with wifi Located at quiet end of Jaco Beach with beautiful sunsets Walking distance to lively town of Jaco which was fun to explore Gated, secure small community of homes; respectful, kind security staff and local labourers Friendly and helpful neighbours Comfortable beds with individual a/c in each bedroom + living room Parking for 1 car adjacent to property Need to Know: Refrigerator did not function properly; food had to be transferred to mini fridge and back to regular fridge repeatedly; (Megan was apologetic and compensated us for this inconvenience) Sectional couch while comfy was torn in a few places Cracked mirrors on sliding glass doors in all 3 bedrooms Sliding glass bedroom doors to the outdoor balcony on 2nd floor were difficult to open and close and had to be locked/unlocked with a key only. No manual latches. Also, handles were loose and one door handle was broken. Front door could use a better locking system as the only way to lock the door up for the night is to use a key on the inside of the door lock; safety issue if you had to leave quickly. Outdoor patio glass table on 2nd floor balcony was damaged and shedding bamboo Lighting is dim and 3 light fixtures were either burnt out/missing or malfunctioning

Family vacation we will never forget!

From the moment we landed in San Jose to the moment we got home, Meg made our vacation effortless! The house was great and the location was PERFECT! Close to the beach, the town, and the casino. Taxis into town (although you could walk it easily) ran us about $3-4 USD per trip and were easy to call/hail. All of the drivers Meg arranged for our transfers and excursions were professional, prompt, and accommodating! The surfing school Meg arranged for us as well was AMAZING! The owner, Mike, worked with our family (all first time surfers) one -on-one to make sure we were comfortable and most of all safe. The kids looked like pros by the end of the lesson and we got some great pics from a photographer working the beach ($30 well spent!!) We also took a wonderful ATV trip through the mountains to a small waterfall. The company Meg booked for us again, were wonderful and kept us all safe and made sure we had a great time. Things not to miss - Clarita's beach bar (we practically lived there) it's right outside the pool gate; Manuel Antonio Park (go early or late... crowded) the monkeys are hysterical and the beach is gorgeous; Lemon Zest restaurant (fine dining quality with a relaxed atmosphere) the chef is amazing. Things we learned that might help you... DON'T skimboard in Jaco!! On day 3 of our visit, our son had a skimboarding accident on the beach (hit a rock) and broke his collarbone in 2 places. The local clinic was efficient, but only gave him meds and wrapped him up. Meg was again AMAZING and arranged transport for my son and me to CINA in San Jose (a private hospital). They were wonderful! Great doctors and imaging equipment...very efficient! I hope you don't ever have to go, but just in case. USE Meg's recommendations for tours/lessons/etc. We went back to surf (without the boy) after our lessons and couldn't get together with our surfing instructor and instead used someone that our taxi driver recommended (note...everyone has friends they will steer you to). The equipment was poorly maintained and once we got out into the surf, we realized it was far too rough for us as first timers... something I am SURE Mike would have told us prior to renting equipment. So, if you are new to CR or returning, I would highly recommend renting from Meg. She made what could have been a disastrous vacation smooth and fun for our family of 6. The home was beautiful, well appointed, and in a perfect location!!! We can't wait to come back!

Great villa, great location

Meg's 3 bedroom villa was perfect for our family of 6. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Communication with Meg was easy and she was super helpful in answering any questions and arranging our transfer from the airport, a driver to Manuel Antonio and the catamaran tour to Isla Tortuga. The complex felt safe and we were comfortable walking into town for groceries and dinners out. The pool area was nice. Our teenagers really enjoyed playing in the waves on the beach, and sunsets were spectacular every night. As other reviewers have noted, Clarita's right next door and on the beach is a great spot for food and drink! Overall, a wonderful vacation. Thanks Meg!

About the host

Hosted by Megan Marshall

Host profile image
I am a Canadian woman who fell in love with the beautiful country in January 2010 years ago and decided to come back in June 2012 to buy a villa property to run and live my life in Costa Rica. I can also help help arrange your transfer from the airport, and tours as well that cannot be missed while visiting ;) I absolutely love everything there is about this country and love to share the experience with others. Costa Rica is one of the most beautiful places on earth ;)

Why they chose this property

Ocean front pool, tranquilo, gated community with a huge pool and jacuzzi. Steps away from the ocean and great surfing spot!! Crocs Casino is kiddy corner to the left and Claritas Beach bar to the right on the beach.

What makes this property unique

Community Right on the beach, secure gated community on the quiet North end of Jaco. 2 min walk down the beach to Claritas Beach Bar and Crocs Casino to the left- great restaurants for beers and appetizers! It is also only a 7 min walk into the heart of Jaco where all the action is! I also offer bike rentals as they are extremely popular and safe here in Jaco to get around :)
