Kiskadee Casa

We had a brilliant time, after this experience we would go back to Costa Rica tomorrow if we could!! Positive: We had a fantastic time at Kiskadee Casa it was a magical experience and one none of us will forget. Whilst the property is only a short walk from Quepos it is in the forest and pretty secluded. The house was clean and well equipped and the pool was lovely. Quepos felt like a nice safe town with everything you need and numerous nice restaurants are only a short drive away. Booking excursions was easy and most times we arranged to be collected from close to the house. What makes Kiskadee Casa so special is its location, sitting on the balcony overlooking the forest is amazing, the wildlife was more than we could have imagined, we saw Toucans, Vultures, Humming Birds, Scarlet Macaws, Agoutis, Monkeys, Coatis, exotic butterflies etc, etc. without even leaving our house. Negative: Not much could have been better, we didn't have any gas in the oven but managed with a BBQ, this didn't really affect us and we had all the numbers we needed to make contact and sort it out if needed. Just be aware that if you are with a young family one of the bedrooms is a little isolated. Basically 2 bedrooms and living space are on the 1st floor, to access the third bedroom you have to leave the house go down an external stair case to a further bedroom on the ground floor. Walking up the final hill to the property is a bit of a mission in the heat but was worth it to experience its location. Finding the property in the dark on arrival wasn't the easiest. The directions get you to a local gym which is actually really close to the house but in the dark it felt a bit difficult to work out the last few metres. However there is a manned gatehouse to get into the property a few metres above the gym (look for the yellow barrier).

My family and I stayed here for 3-nights in the Manuel Antonio area. Johan, the host/manager was super helpful and responsive. The house was comfortable, clean, well appointed, quiet and in a very charming, safe vacation home community with 24 hour gated security. The location a short distance to Manuel Antonio was ideal. Highlights for our family were for sure swimming in the pool which felt like you were swimming in the tree tops. Very serene. The views of the mountains in the distance were also stunning. And getting to watch the capuchin monkeys scramble around the trees was a family favorite. The house was comfortable, but an airconditioning unit in the living room would have helped a bit. Also, this is less about the house and more a practical tip about CR in general. Try to get where you are going before nightfall (5:45). Even though you are in a neighborhood the property is nestled into a steep set of hills, and like most areas in CR lighting is limited. Arriving after dark can present some challenges, but Johan was responsive and helpful.

Positive: Maison exceptionnellement bien équipée, piscine très agréable et possibilité de voir de nombreux animaux depuis la terrasse.

A peaceful stay full of wonderful wildlife in amongst the trees but close to shops too! Positive: Great location right in the trees and surrounded by wildlife. Clean, quiet and safe. We loved the seating on the veranda and the pool! Amazing property!

Veel dieren zien vanuit het huis Positive: We hebben vanuit het huis meer dieren gezien dan in het Manual Antonio Park. Aapjes, toekans, uil, blauwe vlinder en papagaaien. De ligging is fantastisch, alsof je in de jungle bent. Negative: Misschien relaxte lig stoelen om het zwembad.
