Needless to say, the last few months have been a huge struggle for everyone around the world. Quarantine at home all alone or with extended family each pose challenges that we have never had to deal with in the past. We have all missed many activities we used to take for granted, and will be ready to embrace again once it is safe to do so. Travel is at the top of the list!

Renowned international media such as Lonely Planet, Condé Nast Traveler, Matador Network, Canadian Traveler, Profession Voyages, Forbes, El Mundo de España, among others, have highlighted Costa Rica as a destination to consider once the crisis passes. Even Good Morning America highlighted the story of a British family who recreated the Costa Rican rain forest at home after canceling their trip to our country.

Costa Rica is the best country for travelers looking for great experiences. “We are the world leader in nature tourism and the second in adventure tourism, according to the World Economic Forum. The tourist who visits us has a variety of options to do throughout the country. Activities such as canopy zip lining, white water rafting, hiking, surfing and scuba diving are just a few, which are also combined with cultural elements and authentic unique experiences,” said Shirley Calvo, executive director of the National Tourism Chamber (Canatur). This was also reflected in a TripAdvisor ranking in which “Worldwide, Costa Rica proved to be the favorite destination for travel, ranking first in the list of countries”. – CostaRicaNews.com

When You are Ready to Travel, Casa Las Brisas is Ready for You! Renting a private villa with stunning ocean views is the ideal spot for a family vacation. Having privacy and far less contact with other travelers and staff is a tremendous plus. Balance crowded hotel lobbies, elevators, hotel restaurants and community pool versus having your own spacious vacation home with a huge kitchen, private pool and little to no interaction with others required. Casa Las Brisas is the perfect beach house for your family vacation!

Without a doubt, Costa Rica is a small country that offers big experiences to all. Although we do not know when the social confinement will end, we can assure you that once this period passes, this beautiful country will welcome you with open arms and the warmth and kindness of it’s people.

We think Playa Flamingo is just like heaven. This photo was taken July 31, 2018 right after a brief storm swept across the bay and the sun broke through the clouds. Truly stunning. Deep sea fishing is great right now, the golf courses are lush, the beaches are not crowded and the drinks are always cold. Temps are mild and sunny, with the occasional afternoon rain that clears up and leaves you with sunsets just like this beauty. Green Season rates at Casa Las Brisas are in effect through October, so come stay at Casa Las Brisas and experience your own slice of heaven. #casalasbrisascostarica #ilovethebeach

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!
