Make Costa Rica your next getaway

With volcanoes in the distance, jungles at your doorstep, and surf rolling in from both coasts, Costa Rica delivers the kind of wild, beautiful vacation that resets your rhythm completely. Whether you're hiking through cloud forests, ziplining over treetops, soaking in hot springs, or sipping coffee on a beachside balcony, “pura vida” (pure life) isn't just a phrase here—it’s a way of being.

This home is superb. You live at home with nature in the place. Every morning and evening a troupe of Capuchin monkeys would travel past (and through) the house. Three tiny, beautiful bats lived in the thatched roof and at night would help keep the house mosquito free. The bed was super comfy. The stove was great for cooking meals. Each morning the howler monkeys would be our alarm, followed by the scarlet macaws then the toucans. We LOVED this house so much. Note: you need a high clearance 4WD to get to the house. The instructions to find the house are very confusing. To make it easier, just follow the road to the very end (it's much further than the instructions suggest). At that point you've gone too far. Turn around and when the road turns left and starts climbing an hill, the driveway to Casa Contiki is on the left as you go up the hill. There is no sign that we could find.

Our stay at this Jaco beach condo was absolutely perfect! The unit was impeccably clean and beautifully maintained, with breathtaking views of both the ocean and the surrounding mountains. Every morning we watched macaws soaring from tree to tree right from the balcony—truly unforgettable. The location couldn’t be better. The condo is just steps from the beach and also has its own private pool, giving us the best of both worlds. Inside, it had all the essentials we needed to cook breakfast and enjoy it overlooking the water. We also loved having the convenience of a washer and dryer during our trip. Everything about this stay exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t have asked for a better place—highly recommend and would absolutely return!

Love staying at Vacasa properties. This is our 2nd time staying at this unit at Jaco Bay, it's a nice size unit and they keep it very clean. Would recommend a highlighted strip as you're coming back into the condo from the balcony. there is a step up to enter the condo and you can easily mis-step and injure yourself. Also, the other room with the on-suite can use an upgrade ac unit or have it fixed as that room gets pretty warm. Otherwise it's a great place to stay. Already looking forward to coming back.

Why vacation in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth. You'll find sloths napping in trees, dolphins leaping near your boat, and monkeys chattering in the canopy—all within a single day if you plan it right.

The beauty runs deeper than beaches and rainforests, though. It’s in how the country treats its environment, how it welcomes travelers, and how life seems to slow down just enough to notice more, savor longer, and breathe deeper.

With direct flights from North America, great infrastructure, and a wide variety of vacation types—from wild adrenalin to slow eco-luxury—it’s no wonder Costa Rica tops bucket lists around the world.
