The house is beautiful, and in a nice quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay there, I am disappointed that it is already booked for the next trip that we are taking to Costa Rica because I would love to stay there again.
Great layout and relaxing atmosphere. The staff was very welcoming and friendly, will stay again in the future!

Fantastic place for indoor outdoor living. Martha was a great host and jessica looked after every need.My only suggestion may be a sturdier ladder for the pool and a new can opener lol.Thank you for making these Canadiens feel like home and we hope to come back in the future. 70th birthday group, Winnipeg Manitoba, and Ottawa Ontario.
Home was nice and very relaxing. Home away from home.

Dear Earlene,
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so happy to hear that you found Casa Peces relaxing and felt right at home — that’s exactly what we hope for every guest.
It was a pleasure to host you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Warm regards,
Martha & the Casa Peces Team
Casa Peces is a wonderful place to stay in the Santa Ana area. Although it is not in the center of town as the listing suggests but actually in Rio Oro, it is still very easy to access. With a secure carport, a large kitchen, and private bedrooms for four couples, it is the perfect place for a home base or retreat. But the best part of Casa Peces is Jessica. For a very reasonable amount, she met us upon arrival, stocked the house with food, prepared breakfast for us every day, and kept the place spotlessly clean for the duration of our stay. She is the main reason we will return. We didn’t really use the pool or the sauna (we couldn’t figure out how to use it), but especially enjoyed eating breakfast out on the patio. We will definitely be back.
Dear Cris,
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! I’m thrilled to hear that you had an excellent stay and that you got to enjoy some golfing during your visit — sounds like a great time!
It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’d love to welcome you back anytime you’re in the area for another round (or a relaxing getaway!).
Warm regards,
Martha Chinchilla
Casa Peces is like a Private Resort. Except for some minor repairs I have no complaints. The only reason I gave it a 4-Star is because there was no Air Conditioner and was a bit uncomfortable to sleep at night. The fans are kinda noisy.
This was a perfect escape from the city. Felt like a mini oasis. We ubered it to shops and restaurants and enjoyed the pool in between. Good communication with property manager. Would rent again.

Thank you so much for staying with us! Our team prides ourselves on making our clients happy and it sounds like we did that for you.
Come back again!
We had a wonderful stay here. And Martha was really a fantastic host. We arrived to San Jose late at night and all almost everythign would be closed when we got there. Michelle was even nice enough to have a few things picked up for us at the grocery store so we would have some food when we got there.
I highly recommend ths property.
We loved the house…so comfy and well laid out. Lots of unique features. We had so much fun, cooking together, playing games together and exploring San Jose and the surrounding area. The children were in the pool most of the time we were at the house. The housekeeper, Jessica, made us a fabulous breakfast, Costa Rican style, on our last day at there! So glad we chose this house to stay in.

It was truly a pleasure to host you, and I’d love to welcome you back anytime for more family fun and relaxation.

If you want to experience how the locals live, this place is perfect for you. The house is incredible though it does need some work. Especially the plumbing.
I love the location of the house. It is in the middle of everything.

Not sure how this property is on VRBO, but it should be removed. Friendly owner and maid, but the property needs help.

Hi Kristofer,
Thank you for your review. We value your comments as we use these to keep improving our accommodations. Sorry for the inconvenience that you experienced. We are working every day to improve.
Thanks for staying with us and Pura Vida!
We really enjoyed our stay in this unique home and found the architecture so interesting & entertaining. How cool for a pool in the middle of the house and plenty of comfortable places to lounge.
The kitchen and other facilities were well stocked, so we just stayed in the compound for two days and appreciated the respite.
My only downside is, I found VRBO website hard to navigate.
Pura Vida.

Great Costa Rica Experience
The villa was just as described. It was an awesome experience even before arriving to the villa. From the planning up until we arrived was amazing. The house keeper Jesica was the best part of trip she was simply and absolutely wonderful. Her cooking was delicious although she didn’t speak English there was nothing google translate couldn’t fix.
The pool was great. The space was amazing. I would highlybrecommend this place to anyone. They were very catering to all of my needs.

Lots of space, sauna and private swimming pool near the city
This house is a rare find, it has lots of space, swimming pool, sauna, spacious kitchen area and patio.
Master bedroom is huge. 2 other rooms are a good size.
Room #4 is really the maid room, it is small and dark, private bathroom on this one, but it is tiny and the shower valve did not work.
Shower fixtures in general need some maintenance, but overall the house is really comfortable.

Michelle, thank you for sharing your comments with us & other traveleres. We are glad you were able to enjoy Casa Peces! We also take our guest's comments very seriously and use the feedback to grow & do better. During your stay, you had pointed the house valve to the house maid, she had offered to help put the hot water but she had understood you no longer needed help adjusting the valve, since the valve is working properly. We will take a closer look for shower fixtures as we do general house fixings on September- October. We will also continue to leave curtains open for more light to come in to room #4.
We hope to have you and your family stay with us again in the future!
We were celebrating the end of our daughter's study abroad program, my nephews last spring break of his senior year of high school and my Mother's 77th Birthday. Casa Peces made it such a memorable stay. Martha, the Property owner was plesant, attentative to our special needs, accomodating, with great communication and quick responses. Jessica, the property attendant was nice and very helpful. These two ladies were awesome to work with and are the reason I would return.The property was unique, large enough (9 to 10 people throughout our stay) to make our stay comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped which enhanced the meals and service prepared by our Private Chef. I would be happy to stay here with my family again.
My family of 5 throughly enjoyed our say at Casa Peces. The house was sprawling and amazing layout. Master bedroom and bathroom was huge and the other 2 bedrooms were decent size. Jessica came by daily to clean, and the house was spotless when we arrived, and when we left. She was so very sweet and helpful! My niece and her family lived just a couple of miles away, so they would come over in the evening and eat dinner with us while the kids played in the pool in the enclosed pool area. Mornings were so peaceful there. The house was big enough that we could each find our corner and have some time to ourselves while drinking our morning coffee. The neighborhood was very safe, and as a bonus there was a small market within walking distance to pick up a few supplies when needed. It also had fresh rolls and bread in the morning, and coffee. Martha, the owner, was very nice and responsive. Check in was a breeze, as Jessica was there to meet us at the house. I would recommend Casa Peces to anyone looking to stay in the area, and it was especially nice for socializing with our family that lived there. Just book it…you won’t regret it!

It’s great to know that the spacious layout and peaceful atmosphere allowed everyone to relax and feel at home — whether sharing quiet mornings with a coffee or gathering in the evenings by the pool with loved ones.

We truly appreciate your kind words about Jessica. She’s an important part of our team and takes great pride in caring for the house and our guests — we’ll be sure to pass along your lovely compliments to her.
It’s also reassuring to know that you felt safe in the neighborhood and enjoyed the convenience of the local market with fresh bread and coffee — small touches that make a stay more memorable.
It was a pleasure communicating with you, and I’m so glad the check-in went smoothly and that everything met your expectations. Thank you for your warm recommendation — it means the world to us.
We’d be honored to welcome you back anytime your travels bring you to San José!

OMG... Beautiful Spectacular and HIGHLY Recommended
This house was absolutely amazing..Very spacious. I enjoyed the character in this house. Weird but I loved it. Jessica was very nice. She cleaned everyday. Did I mention they have a sauna and pool?!? What else do you need!!! The pictures does not do this place justice at all.. I loved how open everything was to include the outdoors. You can hear all the wonderful sounds of the outdoor. We couldn’t figure out the landline phone but there is WiFi. Only one issue which wasn’t a real issue, no one could access the WiFi on yesterday or today. We checked out today! BUT I WILL DEFINITELY BE STAYING THERE AGAIN! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

So glad we chose Casa Peces!!!!
Let me start by saying the pics are IDENTICAL to what we walked in to! While the roads leading to and surrounding casa peces is certainly undeveloped, upon opening the front door we were in an oasis of our own!! Even our hired driver who is a native was blown away. Doris provided EXCELLENT service from my 1st inquiry all the way through my arrival. She provide clear and concise directions to the property, tour information and even encouraged we bring a light jacket which was needed every evening since we traveled during rain season in Costa Rica. The house is huge to be one leveled and it was perfect for 4 women(group of friends) as we all had enough personal space and equally amount of space in the common areas when we want to be together. Jessica (our maid & hired cook) was an absolute pleasure! We wanted to take her home with us 😁. She didn't speak English and we didn't speak much Spanish but collectively we were able to communicate just fine with the help of google translate. Everything on the house worked properly because we used it! The sauna, house phone, the pool, the tv, the garage, the grill and the alarm. The property is located in Santa Ana a town within San Jose literally 15-20 mins away from multiplaza mall, grocery stores, the airport, banks, clubs etc it's super conveniently located. We made and received local calls with ease and the only 2 times we needed assistance I called Marta(owner) and she was always available speaking very clear English and handled my needs promptly. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday.
Cons: only 1 tv in the entire house that audios Spanish with English subtitles but if you're tech savvy like me it'll be easy to convert over to English using remote. The ants were the biggest issue. There's a lot of wood in the home, mixed with the fresh flowers and plants and plenty of rain so I understood but it was a little annoying.
Other than those 2 MINOR issues this house and vacation was PERFECT and I highly recommend.

Nik F,
Thank you for staying @ Casa Peces! We are so happy you had a great time in the house!
We pride ourselves on making our clients comfortable. We apologize for the ants as they are an on going battle all over Costa Rica. Yes it is quite annoying but unfortunately we will never be able to figure out what exactly they are looking for sugar ,water, plants...we'll never know. We do everything we can to keep them out but they always find a way back in.
The best part about that house is location, location ,location!!
Thanks again!
