Beautiful!!

This home was just as stunning as it looks in the pictures. David our host was amazing and so helpful and responsive. The Chef cooked delicious meals and the entire team was great! We loved the area, beautiful beaches and close to all the excursions we wanted to do. 15 minutes from the National Park too!

The house is amazing, I wish we weren't there in the rainy season as several of the rooms have outside doors. That being said, the house is absolutely amazing and we would rent it again!

A bit disappointing

The living area of the house is open which means whatever is out can come in. A morning surprise of monkeys eating our bowl of mangos. A rather large … I think … rat ran in and hopefully ran back out. Definitely keep bedroom doors closed … not just because of the AC! The jungle pool didn’t have any circulating water and always full of leaves. From past experiences I’d expected someone to check the pools daily. Especially in a jungle!! Lots and lots of stairs so be aware in case someone in your group has any disability.

Week long stay at Manuel Antonio. Accommodations were outstanding

Outstanding. Concierge took care of all our needs and response time was very quick. Took catamaran and waterfall trips which were amazing. Had a chef daily for breakfast and dinner and a bartender each night. The views alone were worth the trip.

Great People, Toxic Smells

I will keep this short - this is a large property with a lot of added amenities like folks cleaning, and a chef, and everyone was great. Then it rained, and the master bedroom smelled of raw sewage - now do I believe it may be fixed, yea, they seem to all care that much about it, but it sure made our week a bit smelly and nauseating.....

What an incredible trip of a lifetime we had!

The Highlight was the Chef (Jorge) and his assistant Kim. They took such great care of us and pampered us with incredible meals and drinks, working with our schedule! Val, our Concierge really went above and beyond to help with getting the best excursions and David, our host was extremely helpful in may areas as well. The Villa itself is extremely beautiful with lots of room for our big family of nine to spread out. Maybe too big for us, but glad we did it and plan on coming back to this incredible property. We saw sloths, lots of monkeys and created memories with our adult kids that will last for a lifetime! I highly recommend this beautiful oasis! 5 STARS!!

An absolute DREAM!

Words cannot express how amazing our stay was. Pictures don’t do it justice either. The home itself was massive, breathtaking, and well kept. The many different living areas, recreation areas, and pools, provided unlimited options for full group, as well as smaller group hangs. The host David and Concierge Valerie made booking and planning seamless, the maids were incredibly friendly and did an amazing job, then the Show Stopper, Chef Jr. and his assistant David. My Lord, the food on this trip easily became the highlight. We didn’t feel worthy! 😂 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Exceeded expectations

This place was perfect for our group of 14 (three families with kids age 8-16). Valerie was helpful leading up to our stay with planning meals and activities. The chef service was amazing. The food was fantastic and we didn’t have to worry about feeding such a large group, and it was surprisingly economical. The chef was very flexible about menu and meal times which worked around our schedule. David, the host, was extremely helpful in booking activities once we were there, and also giving us general suggestions and advice. He was super friendly and available. The house is very cool and unique. Our favorite area was the small pool right outside of the kitchen area that had an amazing view! Also, we had someone come to the Villa for massages and yoga which was such an added bonus. The cleaning crew did our laundry and had I known they would be so efficient I would have packed much lighter! All and all it was a totally stress-free vacation. We got more than we expected renting this villa. The only non-positive is that, since it is partly an open air house, there are some bugs. But that’s Costa Rica and not specific to this house. Highly recommend booking here!

Our group of 12 stayed for a week and we absolutely loved it here! The property is beautiful, and the setup was great for a group, everything as advertised in the pictures. But Chef Chaco definitely made the trip for me. His food was fantastic, he went above and beyond for us every day. We didn't plan it to be a foodie vacation, but his cooking was so good we were almost more excited for dinner than our excursions!

Family Getaway during Covid

Casa las brisas was an awesome place for our family vacation. We had a perfect time, with Gary meeting our every need and organizing our excursions. Marco was an awesome chef and asked us everyday what we wanted him to prepare. It was so nice to not worry about finding a place to eat out and the meals were ready at the time we requested. The house was always cleaned well and the location and layout of the house made our tropical vacation amazing. Not to mention the monkeys who visited daily on the deck.

Simply Amazing! Unforgettable! Trip of a lifetime

I cannot say enough good things about Casa De Las Brisas! The house has stunning views and so many places to hang out; it also boasts several pools, fountains, a pool table, foosball and other entertainment. The chefs were absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend as they help make our trip what it was. We could see and hear monkeys from our bedrooms and communicate with them by the pool. I'll never forget this trip to Costa Rica and Casa De Las Brisas was an instrumental part of our trip.

Awesome vacation-beyond my expectations!

This property is gorgeous! The views are spectacular and there are so many areas to gather. The online pictures intrigued me and it is truly as beautiful as advertised. We had an incredible family get-together with 12 of us. We could all gather round the table and enjoy the unbelievable food Chef Junior and his staff prepared for us. The entire staff does an outstanding job from our concierge Valerie; our host Gary; our sweet cleaning gals and our incredible chefs and bartender. We had planned excursions that were just wonderful. Our concierge Valerie was excellent at lining up our activities and explained the differences in tours. We were very impressed with the guides at the adventures we booked. They were very attentive and knowledgeable-and always concerned for our safety. I would highly recommend Casa de las Brisas!! We have so many fabulous memories of Costa Rica, the friendly people, the beautiful beaches and all of nature surrounding us. And precious family time together. It was truly incredible!!!

10/10 House with a VIEW!

This place is outstanding. We were there for a wedding and 18 of us slept VERY comfortably. There are 3 pools (1 big and 2 smaller ones, one indoor and one right off the kitchen). The beds are great, the AC was welcomed at night, and the rooftop patio was to die for, and it had all the amenities anyone could need. Plus it's walking distance to a supermarket and a bar, and a $5-10 cab ride (or 20 min walk) to the beach. Thanks for having us!

Completely satisfying

Luxurious setting, comfortable beds, amazing chef (thanks, Marco!), plenty spacious, a/c worked wonderfully. Our host, Gary, had our excursions lined up; he was easy to communicate (text) with while we were there. Martha and her crew kept everything clean and neat. Very hard not to feel pampered!

A very special and magical place!

We had our son's wedding here with family members and close friends. It was absolutely perfect in every way. It is even more beautiful in person and the set up of the house allows for community or privacy. The jungle setting is truly magical. We had the wedding on the top deck and even the monkeys came to see it. Marco and his team of chefs were amazing and we all agreed that we wish we had them do the wedding dinner too (we hired a caterer that was not as good). Marta and her cleaning crew felt like part of the family. Her attention to the babies was so sweet. We loved Casa De Las Brisas, the jungle and the beach in Manuel Antonio. I would not only recommend it but we plan to come back for an anniversary in the next years!

Beautiful home! Wonderful Staff!

CASA DE LAS BRISAS! Beautiful!!! My first impression of the property was how accurate the description and photos were. Definitely not disappointed! There were two private parking spaces which were very convenient and another plus. The home was very clean and well maintained. The views were awesome. Jungle out the back, and a view of the ocean off the dining area. Both can be seen from the upper terrace where the wedding was. We had lots of help moving furniture and getting things ready for the wedding. As beautiful, private, and spacious as the house is, the best part was the staff. Beginning with Valerie's great and prompt communication with us, to Gary's help and availability, then our fabulous cooks and housekeepers. Marco cooked the best meals and was so willing to accommodate our schedule. His assistant Germaine was also great. Our housekeepers - Marta, Kimberly, (and another one whom I can't remember her name) were so kind and friendly and so willing to help with special laundering for the wedding. Kimberly even came looking for me so she could show me the sloth she spotted while cleaning. I was so excited! As far as the location, there was a market close enough to walk to, and we were close to Manuel Antonio National Park. Quepos was a quick drive to additional shopping. We went zip lining with Titi Canopy tours. They were great. It was my first time zip lining and they helped me feel safe and have a great time. We ate at El Avion for lunch and Mercato Del Porto for pizza. Both were great! The guys went fishing and caught two Mahi Mahi and Marco cooked them up for us. Fabulous! Our experience was 100% positive. We will definitely recommend Casa De Las Brisas to anyone wanting to vacation in Costa Rica!

Best vacation rental

Brought my in-laws here for their first experience in Costa Rica and we couldn’t be happier. Valerie was there to help answer many questions before our arrival and then Gary was there to welcome us with a smile and make sure we had everything we upon arrival. He walked us through and gave us a tour, and made sure we knew how to work TVs, AC units, etc. Everything was as expected from the pictures. Good location, and close to everything. Marco, the chef, had our food ready the first night we arrived, and it was delicious. He always had food prepared on time, and it was always fresh. We even went fishing and he cooked up the mahi mahi that we caught. Man, it was good. He did well handling a big party by himself until his assistant Germain arrived later in the week. Germaine was also professional and we enjoyed everything. The maids Martha, Kimberly and (a third that I can’t remember her name, but she is sweet too) are also wonderful. The house was always emmaculate, and they have a real eye for detail. Extremely professional. We never had any worry about our belongings, and often left them out. Kimberly also has a real eye for wildlife, she helped us find two sloths and lots of monkeys hanging in the trees surrounding the house!! Definitely ask for her help spotting the many diverse wildlife that Costa Rica has to offer. We definitely recommend Casa de las Brisas to everyone. We even had guests ask about the house, and how they could rent the house for a family reunion. Five stars!!!

Vacation of a Lifetime!

This vacation exceeded our expectations in every possible way. We vacationed here for Thanksgiving—there were 9 of us ranging from our 3yo grandson to my 75yo mother! Brisas Villa is even more beautiful than the pictures, with authentic Costa Rican craftsmanship. Because of the multiple levels—the main home has 6 bedrooms and there are 2 casitas with 2 bedrooms each, there was privacy and a sense of luxury for everyone. It made all of the stairs well worth climbing!!! The BEST part of the villa—apart from the exceptional staff—was the view deck. We saw all three types of monkeys native to the area—including moms with their young babies. It was an incredible treat when we saw, just feet from the deck, a mother sloth with her baby, who was just learning to climb independently. We’ll be framing those pictures! The staff exceeded any possible expectations we could have had. Chef Marco was a remarkable chef, who was happy to accommodate the dietary requests of everyone from toddler to teen to adult! There was always more than enough food, beautifully presented. The housekeeping team of Marta and her daughter Kimberly kept the home spotless and did our laundry throughout the stay. They were warm without ever being intrusive. The manager Gary was great at helping us make last minute excursions and modifications when the need arose. Truly, the staff are priceless. My only complaints were that I was not permitted to take the staff home with me(!) and that the main level dining room was uncomfortably warm at night. The fans are just not powerful enough to keep up with the weather and the kitchen. This was the only uncomfortable room, as all of the bedrooms have air conditioning and the game room is shielded from sun and cooking and so those temps were delightful. We slept soundly every night in the super comfortable beds. In all, we will definitely be returning to the Las Brisas Villa. It was an outstanding, memorable vacation of a lifetime.
