Shawn is a great host and always responsive and willing to help out with any of your needs. Villa is as described with a very comfortable Queen size bed, drinkable tap water, nice stove, fridge and microwave. Lots of items in the storage room too bring to the beach like chairs, umbrellas, floats, fishing rods etc. 2-20 walk to many convenience and grocery stores/markets and same for some fabulous restaurants (Koko’s, Jerah, Hartley, Inferno, Puddlefish etc) for any budget. Taxis are readily available and the gate security guard will be happy to call you one. Price to g store was 1000 colones. But you can go anywhere in Jaco for under 3500 colones.
The unit would benefit from having an outdoor ceiling fan on the patio to allow for more outdoor enjoyment during those hot evenings. Laundry was not an issue as there is a service that picks up and delivers onsite by request, called Lavamax. We had two large loads done for 6500 colones. Shawn is very accommodating as well, and is willing to do a load here and there as well in his unit which is very close by. All in all we had a wonderful 2 1/2 week vacation in Jaco and are already booked to go back next year with Shawn. We visited Rainmaker Eco park for a great 1/2 day hike through Angie (WhatsApp - Askangiecr ). We also hiked the beach to see a sloth and hiked the abandoned hotel called El Miro ( wear running shoes and bring your camera). Enjoy!
