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.
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 itâŠyou wonât regret it!
We loved the houseâŠso 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
We stayed at this house for 5 days and had such a great time! The kids loved the pool every day and the kitchen was perfect for us. So comfortable, unique, and close to everything we needed. The sauna was a added bonus!! I hope we can come back again!
This house is super unique! Very large with tons of space and of course, an indoor pool. Everything was clean, but the house is old and could use some updates and minor repairs. Note that there is no air conditioning, and it was slow to cool off. We used a fan to sleep at night. Ironically, the pool is freezing cold. The neighborhood is a bunch of walled in houses close to the highway. We didn't have any issues, but the house is kind of its own compound, so we probably wouldn't have noticed any issues outside. I think it's a really unique, old-school-drug-dealer-mansion type house. I loved it! I really want to buy it and renovate because it is such a cool layout. In the end, I'd recommend this place but understand that it is older with no A/C and is pretty much open to the outside, so keep that in mind.
Place is very spacious , but could use some updates like better mattresses , larger TV. Great location and really safe neighborhood. The highlight of our stay were our hosts, Dorit, Andres and Jessica. Omg 5 star guest experience. We were able to book tour and excursions through the Hosts. Jessica cooked Costa Rican mealls our entire stay and cleaned thoroughly throughout home.
We enjoyed our stay at Casa Peces. The kids lived in the pool. I'm a West Texan so getting used to not having an air conditioner was a bit of a challenge for me. My girlfriend and her children are Tico's and it was normal for them. There was 2 fans in the master bedroom which helped me survive. House was very clean and the maid is very nice and helpful as were the managers. Would be nice if there was a larger, smart TV in the living room so gringos could find more options for English programming. For some this is probably not an issue, but we spent a lot of time in the house. Overall it is a nice property for the price.
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.
What a great place to stay at, we highly recommend. The house is in a great safe neighborhood and don't forget that indoor pool-- it's pretty incredible.
We just left Casa Peces and we loved it! Dorit was very helpful and answered all my questions before arrival. Jessica, the daily maid, was great. We arenât used to having a daily maid in a house, so initially we didnât think weâd use her, but once we got there we had her come three of the days and it was great. Iâd recommend having her come each day! The house itself was awesome. We had a group of 9 adults and 4 kids and we had plenty of room. The beds were comfortable and the pool was so much fun. The outdoor spaces were great and we felt very safe. I highly recommend this property.
Exactly as pictured but better! Beautiful home, amazing management. Between Sarah helping us navigate to and from places, booking tours and arranging an at home meal made by the spectator Jessica, our trip was perfect. Couldnât have been better and we hope to come back! Pura Vida
This home is very large and spacious and offers the opportunity for a large group of family or friends to spend time together. As noted in other reviews, the house could use some updating. It was fun to have a pool in the middle of house! Our needs were met as we wanted to be in Santa Ana to be close to our new Costa Rican family.
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 couldnât figure out the landline phone but there is WiFi. Only one issue which wasnât 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!!!!!
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.
