Getting Here

Costa Rica has 2 International Airports. The closest airport to Casa Las Brisas and the one we recommend flying into is Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport (LIR) in Liberia, Costa Rica. It’s a 45 minute drive to the house. The other airport is Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO) in the Capital city of San Jose. From there it’s a good 4 hour drive to the house.

Rental cars are widely available at both airports. We do recommend an SUV, especially if you’re going to want to do some exploring. Golf carts are also available fro rent in Flamingo, see our Visitor Guide for more information.

Both airports are serviced by all the North American carriers (Delta, American, Southwest, United, Air Canada, etc.) with non-stop service from many US and Canadian cities. It’s an easy 3.5 hour flight from Atlanta, Dallas or Houston and only 2.5 hours from Miami. There are even some direct flights from various cities in Europe. Sansa is the domestic airline in Costa Rica, just be aware that they have very limited baggage capabilities.

Drive From Liberia Airport (LIR) to Casa Las Brisas (approx 45 minutes)

As you leave the airport you’ll make a right onto Route 21. Continue south through the towns of Comunidad and Filadelphia to the town of Belen. In Belen you’ll find a well marked 3 way intersection with a strip mall and gas station on the southwest corner. Here you’ll want to turn right onto Route 155 towards the beach towns of Flamingo, Tamarindo and Brasilito. As you drive through the small town of Huacas you will see signs for Flamingo where you’ll turn right. Follow this road and you’ll cross a small bridge into the beach town of Brasilito. Stay on the paved road which turns right and follow it all the way into Flamingo.

Drive from San Jose (SJO) to Casa Las Brisas (approx 4 hours)

From SJO follow the Highway 1 (Pan American Highway) north to the junction with Highway 18. Make a left towards the Amistad (Friendship) Bridge) and follow the signs to Santa Cruz and then to Flamingo.

All the roads from either airport to Flamingo are all paved and well marked. Downloading Wayz might be helpful.

Enjoy your journey and see you soon.

Unique Benefits of Our Property

We purchased Casa Las Brisas after looking at properties all over the coastal region. Although there are many beautiful spots, we felt being in Flamingo was ideal for our family, and that being on a ridge directly above the ocean was the perfect location. We have stunning panoramic views of both the mountains and the Pacific, quick, easy access to the beach below and the soothing, rhythmic sound of the crash of the surf. We decided to add a second story onto the house in 2007, which gave us an additional Master Suite with a bathroom shower that boasts the best view in town! You step out onto a large outdoor terrace where you can spend the mornings listening to the birds and monkeys while drinking your Costa Rican coffee, and watching the hummingbirds and butterflies flit from tree to tree. The pelicans fly by in formation. It's also the perfect spot to gather at sunset for cocktails each evening. In 2017 we completely renovated the kitchen and bathrooms on the main level, and replaced all the outdoor tile with native Colombian Coralina stone. In 2018 the pool area was renovated to add a stone waterfall and jacuzzi that spills into the pool. The built in Weber grill off the kitchen out by the pool provides a great space to cook and entertain. The lush gardens are filled with limes, mangoes and bananas to make refreshing drinks. We are excited to announce the new guest house completed in 2020. Casita Las Brisas is a separate structure built on the property which is ideal for a couple or small family, or can be rented together with the Villa to accommodate larger groups. Same level luxury, same awesome views! Casa and Casita Las Brisas are a true tropical paradise!
