Our favorite spots nearby.
There's no shortage of good food and shops around here. These are the places we recommend, across four nearby areas.
Tárcoles & Punta Leona
Seafood and local cooking at La Ostra, El Hicaco and Patacón Cevichero. On the way, stop at the Tárcoles River bridge to watch the crocodiles from a safe distance.
Herradura & Los Sueños
Beachfront restaurants at Playa Herradura and Los Sueños Marina, with shops, sport fishing and an 18-hole golf course. Plaza Herradura has a supermarket, pharmacy and cafés.
Jacó
Shops, great food and nightlife. Our picks: Novillo Alegre (Argentine steakhouse), Jerah Thai and Sépalo (fusion). Also worth it: Graffiti, wood-fired pizza at Amancio's, the casino at Croc's, and the open-air Jacó Walk.
Playa Hermosa
Just south of Jacó: world-class waves, international surf contests and sunsets over dark volcanic sand. Right on the beach, Animal is a great steakhouse.
The surf is powerful and rip currents are common. It's best for experienced surfers; if you swim, stick to areas with lifeguards.
Good to know before you book.
How do I book?
Book on Airbnb for secure payment and the listing's cancellation policy, or message us on WhatsApp if you have questions first. We usually reply within an hour.
Do I need a car?
We'd recommend one. The condo sits up in the hills of Caletas, a five-minute drive from groceries, restaurants and Los Sueños Marina, and ten minutes from Jacó. Parking is free, with one assigned space; if you're bringing a second car, it can go in the visitor parking area.
How far is it from the airport?
About an hour and a half by car from Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO), mostly on Route 27.
What are check-in and checkout times?
Check-in is at 3 p.m. and checkout at 11 a.m., but both are flexible. We don't book an arrival on the same day another guest leaves, so if your plans need a different time, just ask. Check-in is self-service with a key lockbox.
Can I work remotely?
Yes. There's Wi-Fi and a dedicated desk in the apartment, and the building has a coworking room with an ocean view.
Is it good for kids?
Yes. Several families have stayed with kids. The complex has pools, a playground and a gated entrance with security.
What's included?
Towels, bed linen, coffee, sugar and basic cooking supplies, a washer and dryer, and access to the pool, hot tubs, ranchos, gym and coworking room.
What are the house rules?
Just a few, so everyone has a good time: no smoking, no parties, quiet hours after 10 p.m., and no hanging clothes on the balcony (that one's a building rule).
Do you offer any extras?
Yes, depending on availability: extra cleaning and laundry if you need it, and bottles from the private wine cellar for $30 each. If you'd rather eat in, Uber Eats delivers all over the area.
Anything special for longer stays?
Stay seven nights or more and the welcome bottle of wine is on us.
