About this property

My beach house is located in the center of Jaco Beach, one block from main street in the middle of downtown Jaco. Just 5 minutes walk to 3 grocery stores, 2 banks and 30 restaurants and shopping, but yet located in a quiet and private setting.
From our ocean front property you can hear the constant sound of the waves and feel the ocean breeze. We have a beautiful pool right on the front of the beach, to relax in or to entertainment friends and family.
Often you can see the scarlet macaws, toucans, gekos and of course the green iguanas from the property.
The main house is 2 bedroom and the other 4 bedrooms are next to the pool, separated from the house by a beautiful flower garden with over 100 species of plants.
This house is clean, comfortable and very well maintained, has new tile floors, new kitchen cabinets with granite counter tops and new kitchen appliances. All bedrooms have AC for you sleeping comfort and all beds are pillow mattresses with 300 threat count sheets
Manuel Antonio National Park is just one hour drive from the house were you can see different variety of monkeys, tree-sloths and beautiful white sand beaches.
For a thrill you can enjoy the different tours in the area such as the ATV tour or Canopy Zip Line.

2025 Family Vacation

Our family of 6 adults and 2 children thoroughly enjoyed this property. The owner, Steve, was always available, but not intrusive. The property was clean and had all that we needed for a wonderful week. Great access to town and beach. 10 out of 10--couldn't be beat. Beautiful landscaping and jungle murals really gave a Pura Vida vibe!!

Guys Fishing Trip

Our group consisted of five guys there for a deep sea fishing trip. The accommodations were perfect as we all had a private room with its own bathroom. The common areas were very spacious and clean. The pool and surrounding gardens were maintained daily. Also the property is heavily protected with locking gates to the street and beach. We will definitely be back!

Winter vacation 2025

Our stay at the Green Iguana beach house was great! The location couldn't be more suitable for getting to everything that you need in town and you are right on the beach for beautiful sunsets every evening. We had Dennis and Meliny cook dinner for us one evening they are the Chef's that Steve recommended from Bella Vista Cocina. The food was excellent! Steve and his housekeepers kept the place spotless. He was a great host we hope we can make it back there soon evening

On the beach at Jaco during New Years

Location was great, specifically if you're into beach things. Grocery store in walking distance was helpful. Owner was helpful when required. Had staff cleaning the place every day and offered to do laundry for us as well. Place is showing its age a bit, but all in all it did the job for our crew of 11.

Lovely Property

The home in Jaco Beach was the perfect size for our two families. Our host was friendly and responsive. The pool and beach access was convenient and fun. The only detractor was the “adult” transactions occurring at the end of the driveway/street. It was sad and stressful to walk past any time we left the house.

Great Vacation Home

July Family Vacation

Steve and the housekeeping were excellent. They was prompt with responding to all the request we had while there. There was a total of 11 of us and all accommodations were up to par. Initially we were shocked because of the activity on the side street but throughout our stay there we had no worries or concerns with the nightlife activities. We also had an amazing night out on the town with the lady’s that’s take care of the upkeep for the property.

Excellent place to stay

The Green Iguana is amazing! The location is perfect right in the middle of everything and easy walking distance to bars, restaurants, grocery stores and liquor stores. The entry to the alley is a little sketchy at certain times of the evening/night, but no one ever bothered us. The patio, pool and ocean crashing behind the fence make this the perfect place to just chill and have a cocktail or dinner. The owner, Steve was very responsive and helpful, answering all our questions and arranging transportation for us. May and her sister were awesome helping us out when we needed it and keeping everything clean and tidy. We will definitely be back!

2024 Boys trip

Entire vacation was fantastic. Host / owner and staff could not of been more friendly. Location on the beach, two buildings with multiple bedrooms, common gathering areas and pool made this vacation a huge success for my six buddies and me. The location was very close to the adult activity, casino, stores and restaurants. Special thanks to the property staff. They worked hard and always seemed to have a smile and positive attitude.

The property was centrally located to town and anything you wanted to do. The beach was pretty but too rough to play in. The pool area was where we spent most of our time. Plenty of chairs to relax and hang out. Plenty of room/beds for large parties

Jaco Beach House

The house is hidden down an unkept alley which was concerning upon arrival. Otherwise, it was exactly as advertised! The rooms were clean and the location was perfect for our group. We had direct beach access with restaurants & clubs literally next door. You could sit in the back and listen to the ocean or turn on the pool waterfall and be in a private oasis. The house is secure and we never were worried about our safety.

Great location and very spacious

Three generations of our family went to the beach house and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. It's super spacious with much more room than our party of 7 needed. The main house could use a bit more lighting, especially in the kitchen, as cooking after dark isn't convenient. The pots and pans were plentiful but the dishes need upgrading. The last recommendation is to upgrade the cable to digital as the analog system is missing multiple channels and the picture doesn't come through well on many. Regardless of those minor issues, it was a great stay and we could easily see ourselves renting it again.

Stop and Book

What a perfect location! The house is in the heart of Jaco and pretty much walking distance to everything in town. Steve was a fantastic host. Super responsive during the booking process and was always available throughout our stay. He made us feel right at home and made sure we knew everything about the house and the neighborhood. The house and property are very well maintained. Direct access to the beach is an added bonus. The housekeeping service was fantastic. Steve also recommended Dennis and Melanie for private dining services. They were amazing! The food was excellent and they made sure we were taking care from the second we contacted him. We ended up booking them for two dinners and a breakfast because and regretted not booking them for the length of our stay! Highly recommend their business Bella Vista Cocina if you are looking for private dining service! We will be taking cooking classes during our next stay. Overall our trip was fantastic! Thank You Steve!
