My place is in the hustle and bustle of Uvita. It is a short walk to the waterfall (Catarata de Uvita), restaurants/dining, and essential services (bank, grocery, bus station). The beach (Whale's Tail/Parque Nacional Marino Ballena) is a 7 min drive, so is Playa Hermosa. You’ll love my place because it is centrally located, modern and gated. You will get a taste of what town life in Uvita de Osa is all about! *** Rent for the month of May for $800, ask me to send you a special price. The space The guests can use the entire private cabina. There is a Tiny Home and a 2 bedroom house on the same property. The studio apartment is a 5 meter by 6 meter stand alone structure, equipped with a full kitchen (large fridge, electric coffee maker, gas range, microwave, blender), and private washroom. The bathroom has a hot shower, rock sink, backlit mirror and ceiling fan. There is an island in the kitchen for two people to sit at and a love seat in the main living space. Inside the cabina there is a TV that connects to Wifi (no cable, but we do provide an HMDI cable connector). There is also a desk and office chair. The main studio area is equipped with AC. There is a deck attached via patio doors and there is an outdoor couch outside and a table set for two. If you are awake around 5 am you will likely hear the Howler Monkeys by the river nearby. Scarlet Macaws frequently pass above late day - that is the squawking sound you will hear - look up, they fly in pairs. They have also started coming with regularity to eat at the almond tree. If you hear nuts falling and something in the tree be quiet and you can observe them. The excited chirping sounds, kinda squeaky, are green parrots, look in the trees in front of the property they hang out there, up in the branches, the social club for the birdies happens late day. 6 min from Envision Festival site. If you are looking for long term rental during the off season, please contact us. Guest access Guests can use the pool area and directly in front of their deck there is an open space. There is also a dedicated parking space available for a medium sized vehicle inside the gated property. Other things to note Most mornings we hear the Howler monkeys. Every morning we wake up with birds chirping, and in the evenings, almost daily now we hear the Scarlet Maccaws or Green Parots as they fly home at dusk/night. We have a resident iguana, Fred. He likes to sunbathe and eat hibiscus flowers. There is also a group of white egrets that come with regularity and you will see them looking for food in the field with the trees or taking flight every now and again. There are two cats on the property. They are friendly but they should not be allowed in the cabina (Minette, the oldest will try! Just shoo her and she knows, just testing the waters to see if you know); so for those with allergies, need not worry. There is a dog: Artemis. He is a rescue so vibe counts for everything with him. Check in: 3pm // Check out: 11 am * Location prone to noise on weekends. * Our neighbourhood is centrally located in the hustle and bustle of downtown Uvita. There are a few local restaurants within a stones throw. Mosaic Wine Bar, Tagua Cafe, Whales Tail Brewery, Los Laureles, and Simbiosa are the closest. There is a corner store, La Canalla, as well as Laundry services within a short walk and just a bit further is the bank, grocery store, bus station and access to essential services like the Information Center and pharmacy. You can get delivery as well, so that's nice to have. Many species of birds are known to visit the property including a variety of hummingbirds, scarlet macaws, green parrots and toucans due to the maturing vegetation. They come and hang out in the almond tree.

A nice serviceable place walkable to restaurants, shops and the river. Was very clean with nice decor. Really enjoyed having a kitchen. The bed was very firm (too firm for my liking, but that's a personal pref) The outdoor seating faces a painted wall, not greenery and a pool as described in the listing. The pool was not in service. Had a couple of minor issues which were attended to by the on-site person.

We can 100% recommend this apartment. We stayed for one week and felt like home. It was spacious, the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and the area was calm during the night. There are several supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The only thing we did not like were the holes in the mosquito nets on all windows and on the balcony door. Cats and the dog on the property are super lovely. Pool is also a big plus. Thanks to Ismark!

It was a peaceful stay. There were a few issues in the beginning of the stay that were taken care of in an efficient way. The beach is a couple miles away so a car or taxi is needed if you envision alot of beach time. A daily dip in the above ground pool was a welcome relief. I found the kitchen adequately equipped for breakfast but making dinner there would have been difficult. That's OK because there are several places for dinner within a quarter mile walk.

I felt so comfortable and at home at cheeky monkey 😇🙊 It had everything I needed for my stay in Uvita while still being very affordable— I was able to use the bikes there on the lot to get to the beach, I loved that there were cats walking around, the bathroom had unique features, and the back porch was really nice to hang out on at night. Wifi was always stable and overall I really appreciated the location and lowkey nature of the house. Also close to the Tracopa bus stop and tons of food/shops which was convenient. Thank you Nikki!

We stayed for four nights at Nikki’s place. The place itself is very inviting. You got a large studio with everything you need and even a pool outside the veranda. However we have to give a modest rating, since the communication with Nikki was not as we expect it to be. She was flexible with in early check-in and we arrived earlier at the place. The moment I typed in the code I already heard a dog barking behind the fence. I asked her and she said that she is normally friendly. Thus I went in and after having taken a few steps the dog, which is a strong one, ran towards me, fledging his teeth and barking at me. Luckily I did not back up and after a long lasting minute of her standing growling beside me, she calmed down. After that it was fine, but we were scared …. The second issue was that we had an animal working it’s way through the roof which left us barely sleeping some nights. Nikki acknowledged the problem, but didn’t do anything to remedy the problem.

El estudio es bonito, está bien cuidado y se ubica cerca del centro de Uvita. Está bien acondicionado y cuenta con lo necesario para pasar un rato agradable. Nikki es atenta, contesta rápidamente y ayuda a resolver inconvenientes.
