Luxurious 4 Bedroom Eco Friendly Mountain Estate with Gorgeous Ocean Views

Beautiful Ocean and Mountain views.
This modern, 5500 square foot villa, has everything you need to have a truly relaxing and memorable 'real' Costa Rican vacation away from the crowds. Secure, private, and relaxing. Located on 60 acres of your own lush jungle paradise.
Perfect for families, friends, or couples that just want to 'get away from it all and enjoy.
The two story house has an oversized master bedroom on the upper floor with an oversized California King bed. The master bath, with tub and shower, is stunning. 3 sets of beautiful teak double doors open onto a complete wrap around balcony, perfect for stargazing and viewing the lights of the valley below. AIr conditioning is included for those who wish, but with the doors open and the fans on you'll sleep like a baby. There is an office desk and wifi for those who feel the need to keep up with the outside world.
The second and third bedrooms, though smaller, are equally as comfortable, with queen sized beds, air conditioners, and access to the balcony.
The second bathroom which has a huge walk in shower, is located here.
The fourth bedroom is located downstairs, and also has a king sized bed and air conditioning. A full sized handicap accesible bathroom is attached.
A half bath is located adjacent to the kitchen.
We are 100 % solar hot water heated! Totally eco friendly. Unlike properties located on the beaches we actually have very good water pressure.
We are also totally solar electric powered for a renewable and green vacation experience!!
The kitchen is modern and well equipped, with marble countertops, and a gas stovetop and electric range. All necessary appliances, plates, silverware, etc. are included. The stainless steel dishwasher and refrigerator/freezer will keep you going.
The dining area is quite comfortable with two tables that sit four each, and a bar with two stools. Outside the dining area is a teak table under the veranda roof that will seat 10.
The living area is also quite comfortable with two couches, a chair and a 50 inch flat screen TV with cable, stereo and DVD player for your viewing pleasure. That's if you can drag yourself inside long enough to watch something, as most guests just want to be outside at the pool area.
The bottom floor double doors open onto a complete wrap around deck and the beautiful infinity edge pool. The pool has a built in waterfall, swim jet package, and sun shades installed for swimming rain or shine. It is the perfect place to watch the sun rise and set while enjoying the views with a cup of coffee or a toddy in your hand. There is ample seating on the deck for intimate conversation or partying with your friends. Jump in the pool or catch some rays on our comfortable reclining lounge chairs.
If your party is larger than eight we can provide air mattresses or there is an adjacent managers apartment that we sometimes rent out. Contact us for the additional guest fee. Though not as extravagent as the main house, it is quite comfortable with it's own kitchen, bedroom with Queen sized bed and bathroom and huge deck.

We can also arrange transfers to and from the airport in San Jose.

Attractions: Being midway between the two largest beach towns on the Pacific offers many advantages.
Jaco and Quepos offer the best restaurants and nightlife on the coast. Manuel Antonio the best beaches and coves. Los Suenos Resort and Marina, the best in all Central America, includes a world-class marina and championship golf course. The brand new marina in Quepos, Marina Pez Zela, along with Los Suenos, make this area one of the most wonderful bases of operation for sports fishing and snorkeling in all the world.
Adjacent to the estate is Sky Mountain Canopy, which boasts the highest, longest, and best zip line in all of Costa Rica. Paid admission to the canopy tour includes beautiful hiking trails and a real nice waterfall. We can walk, drive to the waterfall. There is also a wonderful waterfall with 3 different pools (Tres Pilas) at the base of the hill. It is an easy drive and easy hike to these falls.
For those wanting to experience the real Costa Rica without the crowds there are six different beaches just a short half hour drive from the estate.
Some are perfect for swimming and some are world class surf beaches. All are great for picnics, walking, and watching the sun set. Playa Palo Seco, just outside Parrita, and Esterillos to our west, both have several little resorts with wonderful restaurants for memorial sunset dining. Parrita and Playon closer to the hill have many very good Tico restaurants for those who prefer the local cusine and culture.

We have maps and a GPS available. If you have a larger group, we can arrange transfers with a very reliable local driver in a very nice 10 to 12 passenger air conditioned van. We can usually get you a more affordable rate on transfers locally then you can get on your own.
We know a lot of cool places to go and you just sit back and relax.

We can also help arrange for a car rental with a very reputable firm in Jaco. They come and get you right at the airport and deliver you to Jaco where you sign he paperwork and drop off the driver. Driving in CR can be quite the stress-filled adventure, especially at night but once you are on the coast it is a piece of cake.

An entomologist from Canada visited us this December 2023 and provided a link to all the pictures he took of butterflies, monkeys, insects, birds, waterfalls etc. We have attached the link here for you to review and enjoy; you will possibly have to copy the link and paste the link in your browser to review.

Beautiful house on mountain top

The house is large and and comfortable and in a beautiful natural setting . The view is wonderful and the property is visited daily by monkeys, toucans, iguanas and macaws. The Bandera Beach 30 minutes away is large , wonderful and with few visitors. And one can access all sort of tours to other attractions nearby.

Great pool and owners

Communication with the owners was awesome. He was very kind and helpful and helped us set up great tours. The outside area of the house is very nice. Pool is spotless. The chef cooked us a delicious dinner. The listing accuracy was a real bummer. We felt trapped at the top of a mountain because it took so long to get down and into a decent town. What bothered me the most was the incessant ants in the master bedroom and the lizard poop everywhere inside the house, mostly upstairs.

Beautiful and Peaceful

We had a great stay at Casa Brisas de la Montana. Randy and Claudia were not able to be there but were in touch throughout our stay and Jared (his son) was there and checked in daily to make sure everything was good and if we needed anything. They even booked most of our excursions and Randy knew what he was talking about! We had so much fun making wonderful memories! This house has an amazing view about 25 mins from the town of Parrita and 45ish mins to Quepos or Jaco. We saw iguanas, a toucan, and lots of monkeys on property. It’s a ways up the mountain but the view is worth it. Thanks Randy, Claudia, and Jared for being the best host/hostess!

Breathtaking Getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Casa! We had a group of 8 adults and the casa accommodated us very well. It's a beautiful home with breathtaking views of the mountains and the valley below. Randy and Claudia were wonderful to communicate with and had hosts there to help us with our every need. Andrea, the personal chef, made us delicious meals and was also great to work with. We used google translate to communicate and it worked really well. The landscape is beautiful, all the different birds and wild life are fun to see! The pool is spectacular! The road to get there was a little exciting when we arrived the first night. We all had a great laugh about it. It takes about 30 min to get up and down the mountain. We had a rental van and it was able to get up and down just fine. The scenery going up the mountain is beautiful with lots of greenery and local life. We would love to come back and highly recommend the Casa for anyone who wants to enjoy Costa Rica!

Beautiful home, beautiful views

VRBO had the location as Manuel Antonio but the owner clarified it to be located in Parrita. After initial doubts about staying far away from the areas we were planning to visit, we are very happy we stayed at this home. It was very peaceful and great views. The property staff was so helpful and kind and Randy is also very kind. Only warning is use caution when driving a large van. The road up the mountain is dirt and rocks and it was a bit difficult to drive uphill during the rainy season.

Jungle adventure

Overall our stay was very memorable. The staff was incredibly helpful and kind. The views were amazing, the pool refreshing, and the house had all the comforts of home. The drive to the house is up hill and can be a challenge, but also was enjoyable. We saw monkeys early in the morning, and iguanas throughout the day. We also saw parrots, toucans, turkeys, and a lot more birds. The staff helped guide us to a waterfall that was near the property on horseback which was an adventure for the whole family (aged 10 to 77). We did have an issue with ants in the house, but the staff worked hard to keep them away. We were in the jungle, so not unexpected.

Excellent verblijf voor onze bedoeling

We wanted to do a ‘blue zone’ lifestyle retreat with a group of 11 people! The location was more than excellent for that purpose; wild life and jungle all around and even the food was ‘blue zone food’ cooked by the local cook Andrea. Casa Brisas is situated an a hill and therefore a bit cooler. In half an hour you are on the main road

I have stayed at many different vacation rentals and this was, by far, one of the best vacation rental experiences I have had. The host was excellent at communicating with us and following up with us to make sure we had a great stay. Additionally, the staff at the home was amazing and bent over backwards to ensure we had everything we needed for an amazing vacation. This home is on a beautiful property up on the mountain but the drive to it is more than worth it. I would highly recommend this home to anyone and I will definitely be staying there again on my next trip to Costa Rica

Fantastic Villa and Hosts/staff

For 19 days our family had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic property. Randy/Claudia and staff took great care of us and identified to us or showed us many outstanding attractions in the region. All of their recommended excursions were excellent. Some of the best times were spent enjoying the wonderful sunrises/sunsets, abundant wildlife at the villa with the refreshing pool. Don’t be afraid of the road, we made the trip down most days and had no difficulty. This is truly the best of authentic Costa Rica. Thanks for great memories. Dwayne, Donna and family
