Thank you for your review! We’re so glad you had a great stay at Casa Heron. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back again someday. Pura vida! 🌿
We loved the close proximity to downtown Quepos & Marina Pez Vela. Great place to stay for exploring Manuel Antonio, Quepos, Domincal, etc. Howler & Capuchin monkeys along with Scarlett McCaws were regular visitors in the area and the lush green surroundings were just what we needed for a winter vacation from the cold. The home was very well stocked with appliances, towels, toiletries & the pool was perfect for the warm afternoons. The steep driveway was fine as long as you have a 4x4 or for local taxi drivers.

Thanks for the review of your staying in our Casa Heron. We missing you already Dave!
The stay was awesome. Definitely need a 4x4 vehicle if you want to drive up to the house. Andres and Julio are wonderful and managed to get schedule us a fishing charter which was fun. Great location to either Quepos or Manuel Antonio! Really like the area and will be back in the future.

Thanks for the great review, come back anytime Michelle!!
We chose this villa because it had 3 bedrooms (kids didn't need to share a bed), laundry and air conditioning. It was fantastic! The property manager was amazing. He suggested a place to visit while the villa was being cleaned at check in as well as other suggestions in the area. The driveway is steep! We were a little nervous turning the corner with our car. We saw beautiful wildlife on the property including monkeys, birds, butterflies and lizards. The property manager was also very responsive to our needs. Highly recommend this property if you are looking for a family friendly place close to town.

Treacherous location
The house is OK. But the road up the hill is dangerously steep. Most vehicles could not climb the hill, and when the road is wet from the frequent rain, it becomes as slick as ice. I fell walking down the hill wearing Teva sandals. I wan’t hurt, but if you are not agile and sure footed, this isn’t the place for you.

Dear Hellen,
Thank you for sharing your feedback about your stay at Casa Heron. We truly appreciate you taking the time to highlight the challenges you faced with the steep road.
We completely understand that the road can be difficult, especially when wet, and we sincerely regret that it led to your fall. The area surrounding Quepos and Manuel Antonio is known for its hilly terrain, which is why we always recommend guests use a 4x4 vehicle to ensure a safer and more comfortable experience. We’ve also taken additional measures, such as applying a special powder to reduce slipperiness, but we know the rain can still make conditions tricky.
We are relieved to hear that you weren’t hurt and want to assure you that we take your concerns seriously. We hope, despite this inconvenience, that you were able to enjoy the beauty and tranquility that Casa Heron has to offer.
Pura Vida,
John
Our stay exceeded our expectations! The house was lovely and as described. We enjoyed the pool and a/c in the bedrooms. The hum of Cicadas were a little unnerving until we figured it out, but we also enjoyed monkeys, Iguanas, Butterflies and Hummingbirds. Staff were pleasant and helpful. The one downside as described by others is the very steep driveway. We did not have a 4x4, and it was scary and rough to go up and down. We got a couple of tips on how to best tackle it by a neighbor and that helped. Walking up and down the hill is an option but I only walked UP once and I was done. Great location for activities and beach.

Thanks for your great review! We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Casa Heron.
We didn't need a 3-bedroom home but we loved the location near Manuel Antonio and the private pool. Being summer 2021 - privacy is important. My girlfriend wanted out of San Jose - this was great. With the unfortunate depressed tourist year, we had Manuel Antonio nearly to ourselves. The monkeys wouldn't leave us alone. Fantastic property and location. Great restaurants along the stretch between the house and the park. All are practicing good safety protocols. The country would appreciate your support of you've ever thought about a trip to Costa Rica. This home is an excellent place for exploring Manuel Antonio and the Quepos area of the Pacific coast. Beautiful.

Thank you for such a great & honest review Daniel. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience at Casa Heron with us & other travelers. Your safety and commodity is most important to us! Please come back soon!
Beautiful home. Clean and well kept, if a bit dated in terms of paint and finishes. Agree that the driveway is a doozy—especially in the dark. I was glad we had 4-wheel drive. The home can be quite warm (at least in March), but the bedrooms are well air-conditioned. We did not use the pool—it was attractive and the water was clear though it was on the smaller side and didn’t especially interest the kids (early teens). The location was convenient to Manuel Antonio, the beaches, and local restaurants. Andrés and the staff on site were super friendly and great to work with—provided many helpful recommendations and were very attentive to the one minor issue we had (disruption in hot water/water pressure one evening). Would gladly stay again or recommend to others.
My adult son and I spent a month staying at this property in Quepos. It was perfectly situated between the practical town of Quepos and the exciting Manuel Antonio. The house was very clean and maid service was included. The service from David and Andres was spectacular. Any questions we had they answered instantaneously. The pool in the back patio was delightful on the very hot days. It also provided a wonderful show of wildlife every afternoon and evening. The only challenge was the incredibly steep walk and driveway. Get ready for some exercise! And, watch the bottom of your cars. Thank you for an excellent stay!
