10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
This property was phenomenal!! It was clean when we arrive and the housekeeping staff kept it clean everyday. The host was very responsive to questions before and during the trip. The kitchen was a nice size and the chef (Christina) was a fantastic cook! I selected 3 menus and they were all delicious. She cooked each meal twice, 6 total. The pool was clean and the heater was perfect for cool evenings. The house could’ve had 1 additional restroom downstairs, but the pool restroom came in handy. There’s also a beautiful walking trail behind the house that leads to a covered pavilion. The landscaping was immaculate and the city night view and lights were beautiful. There multiple eating areas, which offered variety - porch, near the pool, dining room. The balcony was accessible from 3 bedrooms, which was nice. In Cost Rica, be prepared for heavy traffic and extended travel time. We rented 2 vehicles for our large group.Overall, the house was amazing and the country was beautiful!!

We loved everything about our stay! Casa Britto is a uniquely exquisite home and had everything we needed to feel comfortable. Christina and the other staff took incredible care of us, the house, property, meals... we are so impressed and grateful for the experience.

Christina was always available if we needed anything. The house was cleaned regularly. The kitchen had everything you need for meals in. The house seems a little remote from other areas of town, but we were able to get Uber without difficulty. There was some evidence of deferred maintenance, especially around the pool.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
First..the host Christina was wonderful. The property is very old (priests dorm room school)..so a little crepy. Bugs, bugs and bugs can't stop them. Barking dogs 24/7...The furniture is damaged and stained. The owners need to put in about 250,000 into the house to make it a much better VRBO. The view of San Jose was stunning and the pool area was very nice.
