Jim and staff were very accommodating and helpful to the stay. Would highly recommend!

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

Ideally located property for doing many things.

The property couldn’t have been more ideally located and set up as a beach front property. The house is gorgeous and the staff made it sparkle everyday. Matt the concierge helped us put together a week of great times and experiences that are unforgettable

Great house with an even better location. The staff completed the experience making it an overall epic experience!

The house was very nice and in a good location. Jim (owner) and Matt (the manager) are absolutely the best! I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

We had a wonderful vacation at Casa Rio Mar. All of us, from the litlle 4 years up up to the eldest 55; we all had a amazing time. Pool, sand, sun, ocean, volleyball, beach soccer, bbq. There was nothing missing. The house is great and all the assitance included. Definetely we are coming back!!!

The perfect place for the perfect vacation!

We've stayed here a couple of times now and as always had a great time,staff on point from our host to the guards, gives you a peace of mind as soon as you arrive, will definitely book again on next trip.

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.

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.

I am so glad that we chose this property for our trip to Jaco! The property was right on the beach with awesome sunsets and a short walk to the water, and a great pool if we wanted to just lay back and lounge. The house was spacious and allowed our group of 8 to spread out with enough room to relax, but also had great spaces for us all to come together and hang out. The staff were super friendly and very knowledgeable and helpful with everything we needed. They have all kinds of suggestions from restaurants to tours and activities. This place was clean and comfortable and they thought of everything. We will definitely come back and stay here! Thanks again!

I spent a week here with 4 others and we all loved the house and location. The water view and sunsets were spectacular. Matt and Jim were more than accommodating with great tips for tours and restaurants. Don't miss the tours! Tukan Tours was excellent. Andrey was our guide on 2 full day tours and he was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We had planned to rent a car but it was not necessary. Easy cheap cabs. We had a full time guard as well.

Our family of 10 had a wonderful time in Jaco beach. Being right on the beach was an invaluable asset to this nice home, as our kids could go right out the door and surf, boogie board, or swim in the beautiful private pool anytime they wanted - which was every day. The location was perfect. It was an easy 20 minute ( mostly beach) walk to town; right next door to a hotel that had a very nice restaurant with excellent food and a cool tiki/bar which we frequented; and shirt drive to many exciting excursions. We went fishing twice, zip lining, did an aerial tram through the rain forest, white water rafting, and a hike through Manuel Antonio National Forest where we saw numerous sloths, bats, frogs, tropical birds, and arrived on a gorgeous white sand beach. The owner and property manager really worked hard to make things run smoothly- quick and responsive to our needs and any repairs needed- even purchasing a brand new washer/dryer and set of pots and pans when the others were not repairable. One of our favorite things was hitting the chefs. They were very skilled and so friendly and helpful. What a way to pamper yourself and family after a long adventurous day!

GREAT beach front property. Amazing staff that helped us book tours and recommended great places to eat. We had a blast hanging out in the house, pool and beach. Definitely recommended!

This was our 2nd stay at this property. The house was in great condition and the owner was easy to get ahold of. We like coming back to this property because of the location and how safe we feel with our family there having a gated property with 24 hour security. We almost never left the property other than to get groceries during our entire stay.

I booked the Casa Rio Mar for five couples for a 50th birthday celebration. The house is perfect for a group of this size and sits directly on Jaco Beach with its own pool (right in front of the beach) and balconies and seating areas in the front and back of the house. It is beautiful. The property manger Susan) and owner (Jim) were fabulous. Susan arranged EVERYTHING for us, including group excursions, surfing lessons, dinner reservations, a special order cake (awesome!!), massages on the beach, chef service multiple nights, transportation and many other things I have surely forgotten. I highly recommend Casa Rio Mar.

We were a group of 5 adult couples. The house was beautiful and clean. Susan the house manager was always helpful and professional. We were picked up on time from the airport, and for all our tours. The beach literally abuts your back yard, and the pool and yard area was spectacular. We selected to have chef services for a couple of dinners and a breakfast, and the food was superb. For 10 adults we paid about $100 in groceries plus the chef fees. All the security guards were helpful, but Hosea was soooo nice and helpful, we considered him part of our group. The only thing I would say that was not as I expected, was the 1st floor bedroom was listed as having a queen bed, it was actually a full/double bed. Susan the house manager, and Jim the owner were a pleasure to talk to and did everything in their power to make this a vacation we won't forget. We are definitely coming back again! Date of arrival

We stayed at Cass Rio Mar with 3 multi-generation families. The property was beautiful and the location on the beach was exactly as advertised - literally right on the beach! The pool was a highlight for the kids and adults. The beds were comfortable and showers were hot with good water pressure. We enjoyed the large kitchen and common dining/family area. Really conducive for large groups to hang out together comfortably. The property manager was so helpful - almost our personal concierge! The property is very close to town so easy to get taxis in for dinner. Really a wonderful experience!
