We had a spectacular time at the Casa Rio Mar home. It's location right on the beach in Jaco was perfect. We spent part of every day at the ocean surfing and playing in the waves with our kids. The house pool and covered decks were so fun too, especially for the families with infants. And the number of beds and baths enabled everyone to have their own room. Plus, Matt and Tia did an amazing job of helping us organize all of the excursions that we cared the most about. We especially loved the zip lines and ATVs. So much fun! The entire experience was top notch. Highly, highly recommend!

Our group of friends and family stayed for my 30th birthday. We had a great time- did a two night chef service at the house which was amazing. Tia helped us book a private boat tour to Tortuga island which was a blast! Also a 4 hour ATV ride which was by far our favorite day. If you have a large group going- I recommend getting a dj/band and a bartender to take advantage of the beautiful deck and scenery at the house. We couldn’t of had any more fun than we did. The only issue was the plumbing- Which was not working well after a large storm 3/4 days we were there. So we had to use the outdoor bathrooms and shower. However we acclimated and still had a blast. We had 24 hr security and people who cleaned the pool daily, aired up floats for us, cleaned up behind us and cleaned the plumbing issues. If you see any wild dogs around, definitely give them pets! They’re very kind and gentle. Overall recommend! We hope to be back! Thanks guys!

Casa rio mar was a perfect home for our family of 13! All the staff is very helpful and accommodating. From all the pre planning of excursions with Matt, Tia checking in daily and the 24 hour security Ronnie and Juan. Owner Jim is extremely involved and it’s comforting to know he wants to make sure his guests are happy. A business man with kindness who listens to suggestions and quickly fixes any issues.

We had 30 people and booked both properties. The place was beautiful! The house was very clean. There was a security guard 24 hours that also kept the outside area clean during our stay. It is steps from the beach and we truly loved waking up to walks on the beach. The layout gave you lots of privacy. The pool and deck area are beautiful! There are even nice outdoor bathrooms. Matt and Tia helped us with everything we needed. We got married on the beach and the wedding was beautiful! Matt is a great wedding planner! 😁 I highly recommend this place and we plan to visit again!

The staff, facility, location and house were all amazing…. Honestly if it had rained the entire time it would have been difficult because the indoor space is small. Just FYI keep in mind to discuss time of year with house contact. These are not complaints: I would have liked more non-breakable glass ware since all our time was spent outside and by the pool. If and when we needed something our staff was there to help immediately that was amazing!!! The listing stated surfboards were included at house which were not, so we rented for $10 per day for 2 kids that wanted to surf so it was an $140 unexpected expense. The AC had to be serviced twice during our stay but it was done so quickly and with out impact on our experience. This house has all the details down to perfection. I would limit what you plan on your own and just let them plan for you. Prior to and during your trip. I could go on and on with the amazing aspects of this trip and house. But you will just have to book and see for yourself. PS…. Newer deck in corner of the lot is perfect. Has a bar and loungers that overlook ocean. Fav spot.

The rooms on the first and second floor were very nice. The apartment 2 bedroom with kitchenette was not as nice as expected but we didn't spend a lot of time in the rooms so it was fine. The rooms had no closets and very little storage space. The deck was perfect for our massages (that were excellent) a dance party, sunbathing or whatever it is that you want to do. We did chef services 1 day for all 3 meals and regretted not doing it the entire trip. It actually would have saved us money 💰. The best thing about the house was Ronnie who stays on the property and helped us with EVERYTHING including maintenance and security. The covered outdoor spaces were perfect for the rainy days. The pool was cleaned while we were there and was perfect for size and temperature. We were within walking distance to many restaurants and bars such as Mahi Mahi, wich is literally 3 mins away on foot. This beautiful property sits facing the Pacific Ocean and a bkack sand beach that is now my favorite type of sand. The waves were perfect for surfing but also fun just to enjoy the water. Brill

This was a family trip, 22 of us total, including our 10 grandchildren from 13 years to 6 months in age. Matt and Tia made sure we wanted for nothing. Tons of great excursions were arranged, some delicious chef prepared meals, pool toys for the kids, even a high chair and a pack and play were on site for us. The house is gorgeous and spacious. Every family had a private space to include our own bathrooms. The kids were in the pool every available minute. Security not only always kept us safe but made sure our golf carts were always plugged in and charged, kept the grounds spotless and even rigged some extra shade over the pool one day when he saw the grandbabies getting too much sun but wanting to stay in the water. We had Wi-Fi so we didn’t miss a beat at work. Steps to the beach for swimming and surfing lessons. An outdoor shower to wash the sand off before jumping back into the pool. Tia hooked us up with groceries, cabs, restaurant reservations and housekeeping help. Our family time every morning on the deck watching the sun come up and every evening back on the deck watching the sun set is priceless for us. None of us wanted to leave.

Great access to beautiful beach; awesome deck and pool; convenient to downtown Jaco. Property manager very responsive and helpful. Felt very safe at all times. Rooms are tight, limited clothing storage options. Charging of tech is somewhat problematic due to location of plugs. Could benefit from bed side tables with USB access but limited room for side tables. Minor problem overall. We had a great time at this property, highly recommend.

We are so grateful for this property that allowed our family to be together for an unforgettable vacation. Beautiful sunsets and surroundings, clean and comfortable rooms, wonderful amenities. Matt provided helpful guidance for the Jaco area and activities to make our stay memorable. Thank you!

We stayed here with a family of 13 from ages 5 to 75 and it was perfect for all ages. The house is spacious with each room sitting as its own private space with private bathroom. There is even a detached little house with two of the bedrooms that has a kitchen. The indoor space is relaxing and comfortable, but you won’t spend much time indoors. The outdoor space is just incredible. There are so many spots to spread out and with a large crew you will never feel crowded. The large new deck overlooks the beach and gives a perfect view of the ocean and offers the most amazing nightly sunsets. The pool is large and very nice, a great family hang-out to break from the beach. The beach is a step away outside and the sand in front of the house is smooth. It is a perfect beach for all ages with waves suitable for all. The kids surfed every day and took lessons from the amazing surf shop steps away on the beach, ask for Josh! Restaurants right next to the house on both sides. One is open for breakfast and every meal we had there (which was many) was amazing, including fresh smoothies! The other restaurant/bar was a perfect spot for a sunset cocktail. You can also walk into town, about a 20-minute walk along the beach, and there are many more restaurants/bars on the walk and a lot in the town. We hired a chef to come most nights with amazing food and service and we felt like we were eating a 5-star meal but didn’t have to go anywhere. We all loved collecting shells on the beach, watching the macau’s fly over many times a day, spotting different types of lizards, seeing the horses ride by on the beach every day, watching fish jump way out in the water, jumping waves, surfing, swimming endlessly, playing soccer on the beach, reading on the deck, riding bikes into town, all the amazing fresh food and the extreme first-class service that came with the house. The managers of the house Matt and Tia are top-notch! They organized everything we wanted, including many excursions. They connected with us daily to ensure we had everything we needed and all the stuff they arranged felt first class. If we needed something last minute, they figured it out and made it happen. The owner Jim is incredible and great to work with. We’ve stayed at many places and we’ve never had the owner reach out and make us feel so welcome before. Overall, staying at this house was a true first-class paradise experience and we had no worries while we were there and zero complaints!

Was 7 guys for bachelor party; great house and location. Helpful property manager to help coordinate.

This was the perfect place for our group. The house had everything! Surfboards, footballs, shampoo and conditioner, beach front, stunning sunsets. You name it! And to top it all off we had Grant the most wonderful liaison to ensure we had the best experience possible. It's like having your own concierge 24/7! He made sure that everything we wanted or needed was taken care of. From having beers on ice in the shuttle that picked us up, to getting us a phenomenal chef to cook the fish we caught on the fishing charter he organized for us, to getting us set up with the golf carts to cruise around in. The house has security cameras and is completely gated in with 24 hour security. They lock the house up too when no one is their for extra security. We are definitely coming back to stay here again. You'd be foolish to stay anywhere else. Not to mention the best Chili Guaros are at the bar next door and the great breakfast spot next to that!

A group of 18 ladies age 25 and older stayed at this amazing property. Everyone was comfortable and some of the ladies were able to have their own personal room. The property manager assisted with making sure we had a private chef each night, private massage by the poolside, and house party with a DJ and bartender one of the night. I will definitely utilize this property again and recommend it to others.

This was our 2nd time renting this property which says it all!

We enjoyed everything about this property! The location is a prime spot. The house manager, Vinyela, is a pleasure to work with and so very helpful. She ensured we had everything we needed and scheduled all the activities we wanted to do, giving us more time to just enjoy our stay. The house was well equipped and very nice! Having a pool was such a bonus. We chose to do the Chef service for breakfast and dinner, and that was one of our best decisions! The food was amazing and I didn't have to do any work! The beach is conveniently located right outside, and we had the best views from the back patio. We have been to Costa Rica a few times before, but this area in Jaco is now my favorite. We relaxed and saw amazing waterfalls, golfed, went white water rafting and deep sea fishing, zip lined and saw beautiful wildlife. All in all, we definitely want to return! Jim the owner was fantastic. We felt at home here.

The house is just awesome! Clean, well-maintained, comfortable, safe. The location is fantastic, just cross the street to the beach! We had 13 family members there, from 3 generations, including 5 grandkids. Everyone had a ball! We were either in the pool or on the beach all day. We used the chef service, and it was just great. We ate all of our meals at the house, with healthy food that we loved. Jim, the owner, was kind and accommodating. Best family trip ever!

Great property right on the beach with an excellent layout for multiple guests. Spent entire days outside with some guests tanning by the pool, others swimming and some enjoying the shady sections on the elevated deck. All with great views and some entertaining people watching. 14 people easily enjoyed dinner outside; prepared by chefs onsite. The cleaning crew and security quietly did their jobs well and the owner was responsive. Great place, we'll be back.

Matt was an amazing host. He was very attentive to our needs while we were there for the week. He even set all of us up to have massages on his property. The place is emasculate, spacious and the view is outstanding.

I had the pleasure of staying at this property with a group of friends. It was everything we could have asked for and more. It is the best property on the strip of road, located right next to a river that flows out into the ocean, so you have only one neighbor, which is a sister property to casa rio del mar. We felt like we had all the privacy we needed. That part of the beach in Jaco where the house is located is by far the quietest and has the best sand with no rocks. The views from the deck and balconies were stunning and peaceful. Jim was great to work with. Matt made sure all of our needs were taken care of. We felt free to use the facilities as we needed. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommend.

Our group had a great time at Casa Rio Mar Grande. It was the perfect place for a Father/Son graduation trip. We had plenty of room and really enjoyed the outdoor entertaining areas. Jim and his team did a fantastic job helping us plan our activities in advance so we didn't have anything to do but have fun once we arrived. We were particularly impressed with the chefs they arranged to make breakfast everyday, and, as a last minute add on, a couple of fantastic home cooked dinners that rivaled gourmet restaurants. The property itself was perfect for relaxing by the pool, hiking the Costa Rican forest, checking out local birds and iguanas, walking to restaurants and catching waves at the beach. The staff exceeded our expectations throughout the trip. I'd highly recommend Casa Rio Mar Grande.

Our group of 13 had an amazing time, thanks to an awesome property and great location, and to the service from Matt, the owner (Jim) and the entire staff at the house. We highly recommend a surf lesson at the surf school 2 properties down the beach, and afternoon fish tacos and drinks at the restaurant just up the beach before the road turns (can’t recall the name of it). We also enjoyed a quick 5-10 min cab ride to Playa Hermosa a couple afternoons to watch the big waves and take a walk on the beautiful, almost empty Hermosa beach. The home itself is well equipped and comfortable. We liked cooling off in the pool and spending mornings and evenings on the deck that looks out directly to the beach. Pura Vida!

The only way to know is to go! The place is perfectly placed on Jaco Beach. Matt and his guys are the best. Anything we wanted, we got. No questions asked. The place is perfect for large groups are a group of 6 like us. Make sure to get the chef service and the massages on the back deck were phenomenal, best ever! Oh yeah, we had a band! If you do Costa Rica, Pura Vida is at Casa Rio Mar Grande!!!!!!!

I can't say enough about this home and staff. Although the home is spectacular in every way, very inviting, and spacious; the beach front yard and pool with its constant breeze is paradise! Apart from the home, the people providing the concierge service that comes free with the rental is second to none. Our contact for the home - Matt - provides customer service on a whole new level. He was very responsive to my late night and early morning spur of the moment questions. He ensured all of our questions and concerns were answered months before and during our trip. He helped plan an awesome excursion with an ATV ride through the mountains and a 7 zip-line rainforest adventure. He also pointed us to some really fun places and things to check out tailored to us. He also connected us with an amazing chef who does everything from shopping, cooking a 5-star meal, table setup, and clean up all in the comfort of being home. What started out as only breakfast quickly turned into "please cook every meal for us" because it was so delicious, so well executed, and allowed us to enjoy Costa Rica instead of all of the time involved with going out. From all 14 of the guys, a huge thanks to Matt for pulling together all the logistics and all that you did to make this trip truly unforgettable! We can't wait to come back and do it again.

Our group had a great time staying at Casa Rio Mar 2. The beachfront location is ideal at the South end of Jaco beach and even had a couple small restaurants on the same street. The house was in excellent condition, with all bedrooms having AC and private bathrooms.. The outdoor space is awesome with covered porch/balconies, pool, and large deck. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Unique in that you can have multiple people stay, but all bedrooms are private and have unique access points. Amazing outdoor gathering area with a pool, deck, and cover incase it rains. Very clean, very safe, and very close to the action of Jaco and all there is to do. Additionally, they were very responsive to our needs, and gave us all the tips to the city we asked for. I will be back for sure. Scott Cofran

Man you talk about the ultimate house to host a Bachelor Party and Fantasy Football draft---this is it. We had 11 guys and some shared rooms and some had their own---but every bedroom has its own bathroom and shower---perfect for a bunch of guys partying. Needless to say it's minutes away from the Jaco strip and then of course the beachfront view caps it off. Thanks to the Casa Rio Mar 2 crew for everything ….. Pura Vida

Five of us friends had a great stay. The property is in the best location and has a great view, outdoor patio, and pool. The manager is very attentive, responsive, and arranged whatever we needed. I look forward to returning to Casa Rio Mar.
