The only downside was that the kitchen was lacking in basic cookware and what was available was in poor condition, which made cooking for our group of 8 very difficult.

The home is outstanding - beautiful decor, spacious interior, room for everyone (there were eight of us). Wonderful, well-appointed kitchen. The best part - you could be as active as you wanted (snorkeling, sailing, fishing, zip-lining) or just relax by the pool. The view is spectacular! Watching the sunset every night was very special. Terrific restaurants nearby. Great beaches. Convenient shopping. Definitely worth a return visit. ##### Betty B.

The brochure comment on this is home is understated. It is a truly gorgeous place, magnificently situated and in a protected and safe community. It has easy access to everything the beach has to offer, as well as restaurants and other activities that make Costa Rica so special. Waking up to that expansive view was memorable. The sunsets alone were worth the price of admission. I have already reserved another week.

The remote-controlled air conditioning in the bedrooms is an excellent touch. Built on a hill and facing west, the house offers a spectacular view of the ocean from a large patio and beautiful sunsets over an infinity pool. The gated community was safe as well. I highly recommend Casa Antonelli.

It was a wonderful, relaxing experience. The views from the pool were amazing. The check in process was easy and fast. The on-sight concierge Luigi Lios was very helpful and he went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience. We rented a car (strongly encouraged because of the location on a steep hill) so we were easily able to go to the nearby beaches and restaurants. We ordered groceries so the house was stocked when we arrived. We would definitely stay at the house again. ##### nicole l. Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lawrence C.

Just a couple of issues which need improvement: downstairs showers never get warm, grill doesn’t light, dishwasher doesn’t clean dishes well and need new pans in the kitchen. Beware of very steep road and driveway, but we were able to negotiate it in a Toyota HiAce van. We would definitely stay there again. Just can’t get that view out of my mind!! ##### Lawrence C.

We already loved the country but our stay at Casa Antonelli in Hermosa Heights made it that much better. The house was the perfect size for our group of 8 adults and it looked just as the pictures. The view was spectacular! We had one small issue with the drain in the kitchen but our house manager, Milena was awesome and someone out to repair it in less than half an hour and we didn't have any problems after that. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend Hermosa Heights to anyone travelling to the Playa Hermosa area. ##### Kristin K. Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### robert r.

The property could have been cleaned better one upstairs toilet was need to be cleaned by guest. The main issue we had was the 4 hours without water.

We truly enjoyed Casa Antonelli! The house was well-suited for two families of four. The pool and the views to the ocean are stellar. The road to get to the house is ... challenging! but we got the hang of it. The house is well-appointed with all the amenities you need. It was nice to have the upstairs lounge area; the kids could watch movies up there while we were socializing downstairs. I would suggest they consider replacing some of the bed pillows and curtains which are showing a bit of age. New beach chairs would be nice too. House is centrally located to Playa Hermosa and other area attractions. We had a fantastic time and would go back! ##### Kay P.

I was there with my son and some friends for a week. The house is elegant and beautifully appointed and magnificent. It is immaculately maintained. The breathtaking views and glorious sunsets, overlooking the infinity pool, were just priceless. I could not recommend a vacation property or a vacation that was as great as the time we had. It was the perfect place. Fishing, swimming, snorkeling, great (inexpensive to expensive) restaurants and friendly people. Birds, monkeys, side trip to Arenal -- the Costa Rica works! I felt like chucking everything and moving down there with my wife. The weather was perfect every moment of every day. Whoa!!! ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aaron F. Jun 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing!! The house was beautiful and the pictures are completely accurate, but it still doesn't compare to seeing that view in person. The kitchen was well stocked and the house was very clean. We had an issue with the water, but with one call, they were there within 15 minutes to fix it. If I'm going back to Costa Rica I have no reason to stay anywhere else. The house was perfect for 8 people (4 adults, a teen and 3 children (8, 11, 11). We had tons of room and the patio/pool was amazing! Location was great too. Close to Coco Beach (souvenirs & multiple restaurants) and Playa Hermosa (best beach in the area) is a 2 minute drive. I don't think it's walkable due to the hill, but the drive was super easy. There are also several really good restaurants within a couple minutes drive. It really doesn't get any better than Casa Antonelli! ##### Aaron F. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley B. Feb 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Feb 2022 Stay We really loved the house and enjoyed our stay. I will say that Feb may not be the best month as we have been to Costa Rica multiple times and apparently when we were in Playa Hermosa this time they unfortunately had quite a bit of fires (apparently controlled) around the entire area. And the water was more brown than we have experienced but were told it was a few weeks out of February where it is the worst. I would STRONLGY recommend renting a car, we had to walk this crazy hill multiple times as taxi Service is pretty much non-existent in Playa Hermosa. You have to wait for along time for them to come from Playa Coco, if they ever show up. But my family of 5 with 4 being my youngest were able to tough it out and walk to the house multiple times. If anything, it was a great workout. But, the house was incredible and we had a wonderful time. ##### Ashley B. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mark V. Apr 6, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Beautiful Views - poor WiFi, defective air conditioner The views were magnificent and the house was nice. Some drawbacks were the WiFi which did not work in the master bedroom or out by the pool. Even in other parts of the house it was not reliable. The air conditioner in the master was very loud/defective and we brought it to the attention of the managers. They were very nice and said they would send someone to check on it. However, no one ever looked at it and it made sleeping very difficult. The property managers would not allow us to cancel our trip (before we left) even in light of COVID-19 and cancellation of all flights that were announced for the following week. We tried cancelling several times, but were not allowed to (even when the president of VRBO was urging property managers to). ##### Mark V. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2020
