Custom Eco Home, Private, Pool, Canopy View. From $229 per night

Blessed with year-round cooling sea breezes as the name suggests, Brisa del Pacifico is a luxurious 2 acre retreat located on the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula.

Situated in the lush 25 acre eco-community of Armonia, this very private villa offers a unique sanctuary despite its proximity to the vibrant and picturesque village of Montezuma and the convenient shopping of Cobano. Relax in the salt water infinity pool with its stunning panoramic views, spend lazy days on the patio or ask Barb and Kyle, our on-site property managers, for their suggestions to plan all manner of adventures and excursions throughout this charming area. We're located minutes away from white sand beaches and the famous surfing beaches of Montezuma and Santa Teresa.

Each room comes complete with individually controlled energy efficient air conditioning as well as ceiling fans. The master bedroom boasts a 4 poster luxury bed, walk in closet, adjoining master bath with double granite sinks and double Jacuzzi for that luxurious soak overlooking the pool and property.

The second bedroom is furnished with a queen bed, has a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom with double sinks and bathtub. The third bedroom, also furnished with a queen bed, has an adjacent full bathroom including a shower, with direct access to the deck and pool. All bedroom furniture is designed by the builder and hand made from local farmed laurel. Solar panels on the roof provide hot water for the house and electrical for the pool, a further testament to the eco-friendly nature of this home.

The fully equipped and spacious kitchen/great room comes with granite counters and stainless steel appliances. Large sliding glass doors lead onto a covered lanai overlooking the infinity pool and gardens, replete with flowers, fruit trees and various indigenous mature trees which are home to all manner of wildlife such as toucans, parrots and monkeys. The lanai also features outdoor ceiling fans, energy efficient lighting and comfortable lounge chairs. An outdoor shower located at one end of the pool provides a refreshing way to cool down.

Outside stairs lead up to a rooftop tiled terrace with breathtaking views of the ocean and property. A gas barbecue and outdoor sink on the terrace provide a pleasant alternative to cooking in the kitchen.

Early morning walks down nature trails to the river which runs through Armonia’s 25 acres will give you glimpses of iguanas, howler monkeys, white-faced monkeys, armadillos, toucans, hummingbirds, parrots and other wildlife.

Only 4 minutes by car, taxi or bus to the village of Montezuma, you can enjoy activities for every age group and interest: beautiful waterfalls, canopy tours, ziplining, hiking, birdwatching, Cabo Blanco and Curu Nature Reserves, sport fishing, surfing, snorkeling, ocean tours to nearly islands, horseback riding, yoga, massages, concerts, restaurants, art exhibitions, and vibrant nightlife.

Brisa del Pacifico has the added distinction of being located in one of the world’s only four “blue zones”. Come and experience Costa Rica’s “pura vida” lifestyle at Brisa del Pacifico.

Pool and nature
We extremely enjoyed our stay at this house. It is a big, very nice villa with very friendly hosts. It is a bit remote (what we like), placed in the center of the green and lust nature. Okay, the howler might wake you up at 5:30am but that is part of it. The house is very comfortable, in good shape and you will find all the items you need. Barb and Kile are very lovely people who look after you if you have any need. If you feel like going out into the civilisation, Montezuma, a touristic hotspot with many interesting and good restaurrants, is not far away. And if you want less civilisation and more nature, Reserva Natural Absoluto Cabo Blanca is not far either...Pura Vida!

Pleasant stay, some local noise
This is a comfortable, good condition, attractive and well managed pool house in a convenient location between Cobano (groceries) and Montezuma (beach/restaurants). The neighborhood is a little dense so you will hear lots of human noise - voices, engines, occasional dog barking, construction, a mule braying and geese. But the house is surrounded by jungle and completely private otherwise. This is an excellent choice for a "jungle pool house" in the area, especially for the very reasonable cost. We researched dozens of other rentals up and down Nicoya for up to $500/night but felt this had the best combination of amenities, accessibility and attractiveness.

A home away from home!
Brisa del Pacifico was a wonderful place from which to rest, recharge and only 5 minutes to the beach! Montezuma itself is a very wee but incredibly vibrant community along with its neighbouring town Cabuya. We were easily able to find everything we needed to make lovely seafood meals and enjoy them poolside. Barb and Kyle (property managers) plus Jaime our neighbour took great care of us. Barb was wonderful at helping us get our bearings and seek out places to see. Kyle was great for those “how does this work questions)!! I did yoga every day at a nearby resort and loved getting in to the warm ocean at low tide… The house was perfect and exactly as advertised. Lots of privacy for our guest friends, beautiful pool and fans outside and a/c inside as needed. All in all it was a great visit with Matt the owners easy to communicate with. We are already planning our return visit!

An Amazing house nicely situated !
We really loved the house, it provided us with everything we needed. The property managers were very thorough in their information and description on how to manage the house details. We felt confident in running the lights , air , fans and kitchen appliances . The yard was amazing . We loved the pool and the deck chairs and spent many hours just feeling spoiled . The drive to Montezuma was easy and close enough for us to make the trip. We also had recommendations of activities to take park in and the opportunity for the managers to help us with booking.

happy stay
Our stay go off to a bumpy start through nobody's fault when the water pump died. However, Barb, the manager, assured us that the plumber would arrive by 5:00 pm (note: this was Christmas eve). Sure enough, he showed up and was on site until about 6:30 pm and installed a new pump. Small hiccup that was handled quickly. Beautiful house in an ideal location with very cooperative and responsive manager and owner. We look forward to returning.

Our favorite place!
We stayed at four other homes during our stay here and all of them were nice, but this was our favorite. It is surrounded by a beautiful tropical garden that brings in monkeys, coatimundi, and tons of birds. The pool area is private, which allowed our kids to run around in their birthday suits a lot of the time. Barbara and Kyle were very helpful in getting us situated and offered some fun activities for us to do. The kitchen is well-appointed. We were not lacking anything, and could cook the majority of our meals there. Beds are comfortable, and the place was very clean. It is about a four minute drive into Montezuma, and maybe seven minutes to the larger town of Cobano if you are in need of groceries. You won't regret staying here!

Wonderful getaway
We were so excited to come here. After seeing all the nice pictures and reading the great reviews, we were so ready for our vacation. In advance we exchanged several emails with Siobhan and Hugues and received very detailed and helpful information regarding the house and surroundings. So we thought we are well prepared what to expect but when we arrived even our 2 teenaged kids gaped with their mouths open. What a beautiful place! Gina, the property manager was greeting us with a very warm welcome and showed us around answering every question and giving tips where to eat locally. We loved the layout of the house; it feels like home being away from home. Everything you might need is provided; it is clean, cozy, and comfortable. We had breakfast on the patio every morning during our 8 day stay; often we stayed half of the day and enjoyed the great pool watching wildlife from the early morning to dusk. There are so many different species of birds to find. We saw up to 6 toucans in the papaya tree; those are very funny creatures. We had at least 2 coatis visiting the property regularly; they just walked by, mainly ignoring us. We saw and more often heard howler monkeys in the trees. We visited different places: the Saturday market, little stores and restaurants in Montezuma; Cabuya- which has some nice little restaurants and great café and you can by fresh local fish; Playa Santa Teresa, Playa Hermosa, Cobano. We all enjoyed zip lining and jumping the waterfall. We went on a day snorkeling trip and also visited Reserva Natural Cabo Blanco. There are so many things to see and to do but we always came back fairly soon to enjoy the pool and relaxing patio again. We are very thankful getting such an opportunity for a wonderful family vacation. Everyone had an amazing time and we would love to comeback sooner than later! Thank you! Kristen

Paradise!!!
We could not have asked for a better place to stay then at the "Brisa del Pacifico" for our vacation to the Nicoya Peninsula in late March / early April of this year. The house was well maintained and very comfortable in a private eco community that is surrounded by nature at its best, and with the stunning views from the beautiful salt water pool, you will truly think you are in "Heaven"!, Many mornings were just spent at the pool area taking in the view and the abundant bird wildlife, saying, "it doesn't get any better than this" ! What really sold us to come here however, were the owners, Siobhan and Hugues. From the very outset of our inquiry to the property, they went out of their way to answer our numerous e mails...I can tell you, you won't go wrong dealing with theses wonderful people and the info they sent us covered everything we needed to know about the rental and the area in general. I have leased a number of times before using Home Away, and can tell you, there is no one more thorough then these owners in covering your concerns and needs. Absolutely, the best! As far as activities, we hardly ever stayed put, visiting the 'Curu Wildlife reserve" for a day of hiking and a great meal next to the visitor shop. You will need reservations for a meal, but we just asked when we finished our first hike and they took us in. Also, took the long hike to the beach at the Cabo Blanco Nature reserve. A 4 hour round trip, but a must, for the breath taking views of the beach and the nature of the park... A trip out to the Isle of Tortuga by boat is also a must. Arrange through Eco tours in Montezuma, as Gini the property manager said they were the best and they were!. Also consider going to the Cabo Blanco Butterfly farm. A little off the path in Cabuya, but definitely worth it. You can then stop for a smoothie or a great meal at the Panaderia restaurant on your way back to Cabuya... We stopped there 3 times, as it was so relaxing and enjoyable. Bottom line, there is just so much to do and see in the Nicoya area, that there is no question, you will love it here! You will definitely be making the right choice with this property and its wonderful owners!!! We had a blast!!! Steve & karen

Howling good time.
Great pool to come back to after a day out exploring. Location is convenient for trips to Montezuma and Santa Teresa. Home was comfortable and clean. Very nice grill available to use for those grill at home days. It would be wise to get a 4WD vehicle if you plan on doing a lot of exploring . Some of the roads are very steep and rugged. No need to set an alarm, the howler monkeys are sure to wake you up in the morning. Barbara was very helpful with any suggestions and giving help when needed.

Great location
Awesome relaxing property with a convenient location. 6 minute ATV ride to the beaches, restaurants and bars in Montezuma. Also 6 minutes to the bustling little town of Cobano where you can load up on food and beverages for meals at the house. They have added a huge outdoor covered kitchen and seating area on the roof of a portion of the home. Great place to chill in the evenings while preparing meals. New propane grill with side burner, sinks and a small fridge. Beautiful custom bar and dining table as well. Wasn't expecting this but much appreciated. Loved the oversized saltwater pool too! And yes.....you will see monkeys.

We had a great time at Brisa del Pacifico. Everyone was accommodating of our very last minute booking (due to another cancellation). The house was in great shape and well appointed for our trip. It is a little tricky with young children not having all the bedrooms with an interior entrance, but we made it work. Highly recommend.

Close to Montezuma and beautiful house
We truly enjoyed our stay. We traveled with 4 children , age 4 to 12. We just fit. The kitchen is well stocked and it was fun to cook in it. The pool area is very relaxing, the property beautiful. It is a short drive down the hill to Montezuma ( don't miss out on a surf lesson by Manny of Young Vision Surf School). Barb and Kyle took great care of us and Jaime was there quickly when he had an issue with some ants. We hope to be back one day!

Magical Montezuma!
Our family of four enjoyed this home away from home immensely! We had plenty of room to spread out, kitchen was well equipped and beds were comfortable. The pool was absolutely beautiful and crystal clear. Enjoyed having coffee in the morning and watching the critters come and go. In addition, we were warmly welcomed by the house managers, Barb and Kyle. They were both so friendly and helpful. Unfortunately for us, we were only there for 3 nights and we did not have time to take any excursions...but there's always next time! Highly recommend this beautiful home!

Awesome House in Montezuma
We stayed at Brisa del Pacifico for 3 nights. All communication with the owners and property managers was very simple and booking was a breeze. Very attentive and detailed. We arrived and were greeted by the property managers Barb & Kyle who gave us a quick but thorough run down of the house, the alarm system, and the area. Description of the home and pictures are accurate. The house looks even better in person. There are 3 large rooms all with AC and fans for comfort. Each room also has a bathroom (2 en-suite) The main kitchen/living area also had AC but we never used it as there are large sliding doors which provide enough cooling. Due to the weather at the time of our stay we did not do too many activities. We did a small hike and enjoyed a swim at the famous Montezuma waterfalls and visited the nearby Santa Teresa beach. We spent most of our time out on the large terrace enjoying the view of the garden and taking occasional dips in the pool. Recommend bringing lots of repellent and some bug spray. Lot's of bugs around the house but that is expected in the tropics. Don't let them ruin the experience. We did most of our cooking on the grill outside. It's a bit flimsy... need to be careful when using it but it cooked our steaks and burgers to perfection. The kitchen is one of the best equipped I've seen in a rental home. Everything you could possibly need. Pots, pans, sharp good quality knives, oven, microwave, etc I would strongly recommend the home if you are planning to visit the area. kind and attentive service from owners and managers. Great value for money.

The home and grounds are beautiful and well cared for. It has everything you need. It was nice to come home each day and relax in the pool and fix dinner if we wanted to stay in. The air conditioning worked well and the beds were comfortable. The hosts (Barb and Kyle) were very nice and also informative. We would definitely stay here again.
