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 truely 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.
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, or ride the horses 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.

Our staff will take great care of you, and we strive to provide the most relaxed environment for your memorable vacation. Come stay with us and enjoy the REAL COSTA RICA!

Talk to you soon.

A Wonderful Family Vacation Spot!
This is definitely NOT a bar-hopping beach/shopping spring break destination. It's not on a beach. It's located 2-3 hours by car from San Juan International Airport. It's a 30 minute plus ride to a beach and the nearest sizable town on a combination gravel and blacktop country roads that wind through bannaa and coconut plantations and up the mountain. But when you get to the end of that road you are in for a treat! The views are stunning, The house itself is beautiful and perfectly maintained. The pictures of this place on the website really don't do it justice. It is a gem! The wildlife deserves special mention. We loved watching the birds and the spider monkeys playing around the house. Our family took guided horseback rides from the property; enjoyed one of the most scenic Zip lines in CR located nearby; took pictures of the wildlife, and swam in a beautiful infinity pool. Most important for me was time to reconnect with children and grandchildren. You also can take day trips to those bars and tourist spots. The hosts, Randy and Claudia and their staff really made this place special for us. From the moment I reserved the house, until the morning we left, they worked to make our stay special, recommending and arranging transportation and day trips, and helping us select a cook. They have put together an extraordinary team that made this trip truly special for our family. So -- if you are looking for an unforgettable family vacation experience, this is your place!

Excellent stay. Little rough road the last 20 minutes to place. Views were pretty, a little hazy during our stay. Have binoculars, birds and monkeys. The show was everyday! Randy and Claudia were very informative on anything you wanted to know. We had Andrea chef for us 5 out of 7 nights. We didn't adventure far, it was to peaceful. Thank you Randy and Claudia.

Amazing Vacation at Casa Brisas de la Montana
I can’t say enough about how wonderful our vacation at Randy and Claudia’s home was. When we first booked the house, Randy emailed us lots of helpful information about the area and Costa Rica. Then he was in communication with us about our arrival and check in process. When we got to Parrita, Randy met us at the local grocery store, and we followed him up to the house. The house is amazing. It’s so beautiful inside and out. It’s on 60 acres and is very private and safe. The view of the valley below all the way to the Pacific ocean is incredible. The infinity pool is beautiful and our whole family enjoyed using it multiple times a day. They also have horses on the property, and my kids loved going out to pet them each day. Randy and Claudia, along with their staff, take such good care of you. They treat you like family. We got to go horseback riding on trails near the house, which we loved. Randy also took us on a short hike to a local waterfall with three pools for swimming. We had the whole waterfall to ourselves and had so much fun jumping off the rocks into the pools of water below. We had their cook Andrea make us lunch and dinner every day while we were there. Andrea is amazing. Everything she cooked for us was so delicious and tasted better than any of the restaurants we tried after leaving Randy and Claudia’s. We highly recommended using her services while staying at the house. We had such a wonderful time and were so sad to leave. We will definitely be back!

Secluded Tropical Paradise
Highlight – pool! Kids promptly dubbed the "luxury pool." They were in at breakfast and after dinner. We spotted monkeys, geckos, iguana and even a toucan who finally showed up on our last morning. The second-floor wrap-around balcony provided perfect sunset view. The adventurous drive seemed crazy at first but then it just added to the excitement, especially for our adventurous kids who loved the winding gravel roads, even after dark. The master bedroom shower head is unusually high with wide span (speaking from a 5 ft perspective), making it challenging to wash hair. Perhaps a handle could be helpful. My husband enjoyed the giant tub for a nightly soak. Ample hammocks and seating, including a spacious outside table by the mango trees. Last minute (after arrival!!!), we decided to hire Andrea to cook. It turned out to be the best and affordable decision. I have never had a cook but for a reasonable price, we had breakfast ready in the morning and dinner waiting for us when we returned from our daily adventures. Finally, the presence of the owners added a personal touch. Didn’t know what to expect since we are pretty private, but their warmth and hospitality made us feel at home, especially kids who loved playing with cats and feed their horses—a delightful experience for them reminded me of going to grandma and grandpas house which always offers some type of an adventure. This hidden gem is true Costa Rica and not Costa Rica built to look like Florida!

Fabulous house with incredible hosts!
We booked this home for our 40th anniversary and invited family and friends to join us. Claudia and Randy and their staff made our stay incredible. Hands on with help for outings with the best guides. Randy would call and set up what we wanted to do or take us himself. Guys did deep sea fishing in Quepos, we hiked to a beautiful waterfall and swam, had a guided boat tour through the Mangrove forest to see monkeys. This is a must do excursion as long as you get Randy's friends. What an informative young man who has studied these monkeys for years and is quite entertaining. We zip lined through a fabulous mountain area located just down the mountain road from the Las Brisas house. We went on a high/long zip through the mountain canopies. Randy met us at the end with refreshments on his ATV. Suggestions for restaurants led us through a horse pasture road to Don Toro's on the beach below and we had the most fantastic food while sitting under the almond tree canopies and seeing the resident sloth up overhead. Andrea cooked for us 3 nights, what a wonderful person. From start to finish you do not lift a finger. She made us a fabulous first night, Anniversary and last night dinner. Gabby made the most incredible cakes I have ever tasted! We had a mariachi band for our Anniversary as well. The pool is wonderful and was used many times a day. The cleanliness is impeccable and we left feeling like we had made many new friends. Worth the drive up the bumpy mountain!

What a house
This house is an oasis in the jungle. Beautiful flora and fauna surrounds. Its a little remote from town, which is why we took advantage of Andrea to cook almost all our meals and WOW is she an amazing chef! Ernesto, another staff member was so kind and took us horseback riding one day with his and Randy's horses, and even cut down some coconuts from a tree for my son. Monkeys came right up to the balcony, iguanas on the lawn, and the cutest little geckos on the balcony keeping all the bugs away. The grown ups would sit and have a cocktail on the balcony watching the sunset while the kids were in the pool, and Andrea would call us for dinner! All in all, an unforgettable experience and unlike anything else you may find.
