The home looks exactly like the photos. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the pool and outdoor amenities were fantastic. The location was also great, with many restaurants within walking distance.Our host was amazing! She was extremely responsive to all of my questions and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. She arranged transportation to and from the airport and even scheduled a private chef for our group. The chef was excellent and made our stay even more special!I highly recommend this Airbnb and would definitely book again.

Space was amazing, with a. Beautiful pool. A couple AC units stopped working and they replaced that day. Our host Karolina was super responsive and booked tours for us. Overall a great experience. We loved having a pool table as well.

We loved staying at this AirBnB. Brittany was our contact and she was amazing! She arranged transportation and several excursions for us. She kept in contact at key moments to be sure we were being taken care of by maintenance, transportation, and excursions. If she's assigned to you, you'll be in good hands. The AirBnB was huge, clean, and provisioned (pots, pans, etc). It is an easy walk to the main street and the beach. There was 24hr security and we felt quite safe.

Stayed here with 6 friends as a graduation gift from my parents, and it was a 10/10 experience from start to finish. This place is perfect if you want a mix of nature and nightlife. We were close to so many scenic spots, and also right by great bars and clubs, the best of both worlds. Our host was phenomenal. She booked tours for us and was available for absolutely anything we needed. My favorite part of Jacobay was the soccer goals and the Footvolley court. The pool was gorgeous too. Beds were comfortable for all seven of us and the bathrooms were spotless. Highly recommend for any group looking for an unforgettable trip.

We had an amazing time staying at Casa Playa del Rey! From the moment we arrived, everything was beautiful and well taken care of. A special thank you to our concierge, Karolina. She was absolutely incredible! No matter what we needed—recommendations, reservations, transportation, or any questions—she was always quick to respond and made everything so easy. Her attention to detail and genuine kindness truly made our vacation even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend Costa Rica Elite to anyone looking for a relaxing, stress-free getaway. We can’t wait to come back!

The condo was amazing and the view is spectacular.  Also, Karolina, our concierge made the trip so convenient, made sure we had food in our fridge, helped arrange our outing and was always available. I’ve already shared with several friends as the value for the stay is exceptional.

Our stay was absolutely incredible! The property was even more beautiful than the photos—immaculately clean, comfortable, and surrounded by stunning Costa Rican scenery. It had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our vacation, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. Karolina was an exceptional host from start to finish. She was warm, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic stay. Her local recommendations were excellent and made our trip even more memorable. If you’re looking for an amazing place to stay in Costa Rica with a host who truly cares about her guests, this is it. We can’t wait to come back.

If you are looking for a nice and calm beach house, this would be the place! Beautiful black sand beach which massive waves! Lots of surfers out there! Definitely not a beach for little kids or people trying to play in the ocean. Pool is beautiful and the views from upstairs are great as well. Lots of parrots flying around and other wildlife. There are many restaurants about a mile away and you are about 4 miles from downtown Jaco if you are looking for night life. Overall very awesome!

We had a fantastic stay and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The villa was beautiful, spacious, spotless, and perfect for our group. Everything was exactly as described, and the amenities made our trip even more enjoyable.A special mention goes to Brittany, who was incredibly accommodating throughout our stay. She was always available to answer any questions or help with any concerns, although we honestly had very few issues because everything was so well organised. Her communication, hospitality, and attention to detail really stood out and made us feel welcome from start to finish.We would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Costa Rica and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for helping make our trip so memorable!

We had an amazing experience with Costa Rica Elite and I would highly recommend them for anyone interested in traveling to Costa Rica!  Our extended family of 17 people (4 siblings and our families) stayed in an amazing house right on the beach in Jaco.  Karolina our concierge was absolutely fantastic -- I can't say enough good things about her!  She helped us organize several outings and activities, worked with us to bring in private chefs for a few meals (a total gamechanger!), recommended restaurants, coordinated transportation from the house to the airport for a few family members who needed to leave early, and checked in on us every day.  She was responsive, organized, efficient, truly kind, and helped make this a wonderful trip for our whole family.  The whole team -- Karolina, Walter the security guard, Vicki with housekeeping -- were wonderful to work with.

AMAZING experience all around! We had a group of 14, several 18yr old boys. The house was perfect, had A/C in every room, great pool and hot tub, right on the beach for lounging, surfing, local bars, restaurants and town all within walking distance. Karolina was the best host! She quickly responded and handled anything needed throughout the whole process. From recommendations, scheduling excursions to daily questions, couldn’t be happier! Would definitely stay with Costa Rica Elite again!

By far one of the best Airbnb I have stayed in. Location was great. What made the Airbnb experience so good was Brittany our host. She checked on us everyday, coordinating transportation and excursions for our group. She was a pleasure to work with and she was super nice. Definitely would recommend to friends in the future.

I cannot say enough about the outstanding customer service we received! My fiancé is currently staying there for his bachelor trip, and I decided at the last minute that I wanted to surprise him with some decorations. Despite the short notice, Brittany and her team went above and beyond to make it happen. Being on the other side of the world, I wasn't sure how smoothly everything would come together, but Brittany's communication, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail made the entire process effortless. The care and hospitality she showed throughout were truly exceptional. Thank you so much to Brittany and the entire team for helping create such a special surprise. I highly recommend them and am incredibly grateful for everything they did!

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The accommodations were exactly as described, but what truly made this stay exceptional was the outstanding hospitality. Shortly after booking, Brittany reached out with helpful information and took a genuine interest in our trip. Once she learned we were visiting Costa Rica for a bachelor party, she went above and beyond with recommendations for restaurants, activities, transportation, and excursions, even helping coordinate bookings and checking in throughout our stay. It felt like we had both a host and a concierge, which added an extra level of care and intentionality to the entire experience. Having worked in hospitality for over 12 years, I can confidently say the service was top-notch. Thank you to Elite Realty and Brittany for helping make our trip memorable. Highly recommend!

Overall, we had a good stay. The location was great and within walking distance to the strip, which made getting around very convenient. The host was very attentive, proactive, and quick to respond whenever we had questions or needed assistance.The property was mostly clean, though one of the bedrooms had an unpleasant odor upon arrival, and one of the curtains had fallen down before we checked in. Aside from those issues, the stay was comfortable and met our needs. We appreciated the host’s communication and hospitality throughout our visit.

Absolutely amazing stay! The penthouse was beautiful, spotless, and the views from the 10th floor were unreal especially at sunset. The location was perfect, peaceful, and close to everything we needed. The host was responsive, professional, and made the whole experience smooth from check-in to check-out. The apartment itself felt luxurious, modern, and very comfortable. Waking up every morning overlooking Jaco was honestly unforgettable. Would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and upscale getaway.

Hicimos la reservación por una situación que estábamos teniendo en otro airbnb y nos urgía cambiarnos, a las 3 pm reservamos y a las 6 ya estábamos entrando, realmente el servicio para algo que fue tan rápido, fue excelente, la comunicación con Karolina super fluida y fácil, a pesar de la premura fue como si hubiéramos reservado con mucho tiempo de anticipación.El apartamento estaba super limpio, a un cuarto no le servía el aire acondicionado y en menos de 30 minutos ya estaba resuelto, la cocina impecable, todo estaba super ordenado y muy muy cómodo para tantas personas, éramos 11. Definitivamente nos volveríamos a quedar si volviéramos a planear ir a Jacó. De verdad agradecemos el servicio y la colaboración que tuvieron para que el check in y todo fuera tan fluido.

We enjoyed our stay! Karolina was responsive and helpful. She gave us local recommendations for dinner and she was helpful when we lost power (briefly) due to a local earthquake.The home is not walkable to stores, so having a car is recommended. The area does offer UBER so that is also an option for trips into Jaco, about a 8-10 min drive from the house. The area is quite and convenient for daily surfing.We were a group of 5 and we had plenty of space. The kitchen was well stocked with all equipment for cooking at home.We would definitely stay here again.
