Shawnna is great and the place is great.  Highly recommended

Clean and cosy stay near Uvita. The small river near the backyard was fun to visit.

Shawnna's place was a beautiful and calm stay. It is a 30/40 minute walk to the beach, but flat the whole way, so very easy and nice.The room and amenitites were all spotless and homely. We reaply enjoyed our stay, it was so welcoming and her cat was a highlight! Thank you!

Shawnna's place is a hidden gem. I loved listening to the birds every morning and the river is such a great spot to relax. This spot is well worth the value. Shawnna is an excellent host. She is so helpful and kind.

We felt like home, because we were the only guest in this beautiful place. Would have loved to stay longer.

It was very nice to stay at Shawnna's. She is very attentive and makes her kitchen available and does not lack good advice to ensure the stay goes smoothly. The best part? Coffee was always ready when I woke up. I highly recommend it. 🤗

Ce fut très agréable de séjourner chez Shawnna. Elle est très attentive et met à disposition sa cuisine et ne manque pas de bons conseils pour que le séjour se passe bien. Cerise sur le gâteau, le café était toujours prêt à mon réveil. Je recommande vivement 🤗

Very nice place to stay with a wonderful garden. Shawnna is a super friendly and helpful host who upgraded our stay again.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit wunderbarem Garten. Shawnna ist eine super freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin, die uns den Aufenthalt nochmal aufgewertet hat.

Our favorite apartment in Costa Rica so far! Everything was absolutely clean and tidy. Shawnna was very proactive in communication and we felt very comfortable. There was a safe place to park our car and a lovely garden.

We had a great time here. Shawnna was easy to reach, very nice and helpful. The shared shower and toilet were always clean. We really liked the nice terrace and the river nearby. We found everything we needed in the kitchen and washing our clothes was easy.

Magnifique endroit, je recommande à 100%

My second stay at Shawnas place. Everything was wonderful as it was the first time. Great place to stay.

Super easy check in, very clean. At night it is quite warm in the room but otherwise everything is great. Very pleasant towels

Super einfach Check-Inn, sehr sauber. Nachts ist es ziemlich warm im Zimmer aber sonst alles super. Sehr angenehme Handtücher

Exceptionally good for that Price Range. We would have Loved to stay longer. Clean & really idyllic with the open Kitchen and the Containers. Was easy to find and the area felt safe. Shawna was a nice & friendly Host

Shawnna is quite friendly and nice as a host. I recommend the place for its proximity to the center of Uvita, a lot of nature in the stay.

Shawnna es bastante amable y agradable como anfitriona. Recomiendo el lugar por su cercanía con el centro de Uvita, mucha naturaleza en el hospedaje.

We stayed for three nights nei Shawnna, unfortunately we never saw them in these  days which we find very unfortunate. The place is easy to find, however, getting there with a small car is difficult but doable. Shawnna has a very cute and cuddly cat.

Wir waren für drei Nächte nei Shawnna, leider haben wir sie in diese  Tagen nie gsehen was wir sehr schade finden. Die Unterkunft ist einfach zu finden jedoch ist der weg dort hin mit einem kleinen Auto schwierig aber machbar. Shawnna hat eine sehr süsse und verschmuste Katze.

Nice place, very organized and clean, easy access

Lindo lugar, muy organizado y limpio, facil acceso

Everything was perfect, thank you again for hosting ☺️

Tout était parfait, merci encore pour votre accueil ☺️

Beautiful space in itself. Overall, however, very dirty unfortunately, especially the kitchen.

An sich schöne Unterkunft. Insg. jedoch durchaus sehr dreckig leider, insb. die Küche.

It was a wonderful stay with super communication and a relaxing atmosphere :)

Very nice, hidden in a garden and nice walk to the river. A bit complicated to access, need a 4x4. Hosts friendly and very good recommendations.

I stayed for 1 week and it was perfect. Such a beautiful place treehouse like vibes. There was everything i needed bathroom and kitchen amenities. Laurel the property manger was amazing and more than helpful. Would 100% stay here again

We had an amazing time at this place! Waking up with the jungle sounds and the sun on our face was just perfect. Because of the no curtains and no windows it do was a bit hot in the room but nothing too bad. The outdoor shower and toilet also fitted within the jungle vibes and definitely don’t forget to make your way down to the river for a morning dip! Would definitely recommend.

Shawnna's place was perfect for our first days in Costa Rica. The property is a little off the beaten path, making it very private. Since we had a car, everything was easily accessible for us. Great and especially clean accommodation. Thanks Shawnna :)

Shawnnas Unterkunft war für unsere ersten Tage in Costa Rica perfekt. Die Unterkunft befindet sich etwas abseits und ist dadurch sehr privat. Da wir ein Auto hatten war für uns alles gut erreichbar. Tollle und v.a. saubere Unterkunft. Danke Shawnna :)

Amazing place with jungle vibes. Totally recomendable 🖤

We enjoyed staying at Shawnna's place very much. Shawnna and her daughter are very kind and gave us helpful tips on what to do in the Environment. The whole accommodation was very clean and the access behind the house to River, in which you can bathe, always ensures a cool down. We would definitely recommend & revisit this place.

Wir genossen den Aufenthalt bei Shawnna sehr. Shawnna und ihre Tochter sind sehr lieb und gaben uns hilfreiche Tipps was wir in der Umgebung unternehmen können. Die ganze Unkterkunft war sehr sauber und der Zugang hinter dem Haus zum Fluss, in welchem gebadet werden kann, sorgt immer für eine Abkühlung. Wir würden diese Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen & erneut besuchen.

Super authentic accommodation with everything you need. Corresponds exactly to the description and photos!

Super authentische Unterkunft mit allem was man braucht. Entspricht genau der Beschreibung und den Fotos!

Staying at Shawna’s place was perfect! We were there for 10 days and felt totally at peace. Beautiful surroundings, equipped kitchen, close to the river. We loved it :)

Lovely setting and thoughtful, kind host! The last part of the drive is dirt/gravel so it’s worth going slowly if you have a car. Great location near Cascada Uvita.

This place was really beautiful. It definitely feels like you are in the middle of the jungle. Shawnna was very communicative and was never far incase you need anything. There are only four rooms so we never had to wait for the bathroom etc - people are mostly out and about during the day anyway. The kitchen is also well equipped! It’s a little far from the beach (approx an hour to walk) but the location would be ideal if you’ve rented a car . We rented bikes for a couple of days which made it easier to get around. Overall a very peaceful little spot. Would recommend!

I was traveling alone, and Shawnna’s place was perfect for my needs. The room was very comfortable, and my room shared a bathroom with one other room, but the layout made it feel very easy and comfortable to share. The communal kitchen downstairs was awesome esp with the provisions of some spices and oil that made it very easy to cook. Shawnna is warm and welcoming, the large table for eating was conducive to great conversations,  and the short walk to the river was magic! Definitely priced well and a memorable experience. Thank you Shawnna!

Great stay at Shawna s place. We felt at home. We spent some times during day over there and cooked a lot in her kitchen, it was super clean and well equipped. The room had a lot of air and was totally insects free witch was nice. Shawna was very calme, and each time we asked anything she was super responsive and very nice. 💚💚💚💚

Sheanna was so helpful. We had a great stay and she kindly recommended a great tour and took no commission. Highly recommended  her place. Thanks

It was my most beautiful stay at Costa Rica! So nice to wake up with the sound of the birds, a beautiful stay in nature. I would definitely recommend it! 😍

Fantastic magical garden retreat with a lovely welcoming host. Quick 15 min walk to the centre of town, but lots of privacy. Great kitchen. River access. Shawna gave me lots of tips, was super warm and lovely & helped me see some excellent parts of Uvita. Thank you!

We absolutely loved our stay with Shawnna, she made us feel felt right at home. The home has everything you need, an extremely well equipped kitchen, the bedroom was so clean and cosy, the garden and surroundings were beautiful. Shawnna even invited us to her local trivia quiz night hosted by her daughter, we had so much fun. Thank you for the best few days, we wish we could stay longer

It was my absolute favorite stay! Shawnna is very welcoming and an amazing host. She was super responsive and offered many things to do. Her place in the jungle is a dream! Thank you, can’t wait to go back!

Shawnna is a very good host, flexible and pleasant. And this house is awesome!

Shawnna est une très bonne hôte, flexible et agreable. Et ça maison est super !

It's a nice accomodation outside from uvita near the nature, so its a quite place. There are two very good restaurants where are in walking distance. We would recommed to stay there.

Thank you for beeing our host. We had a wonderfully time, enjoyed our stay in this place. Your sightseeing tips were just great!

We've had the best experience at Osa de Rio. This was by far our favorite Airbnb in Costa Rica. Shawnna and Kaitlin really thought about every little detail. The private river is the cherry on the cake. It's so peaceful. I would go again without a doubt.

I had a nice stay with Shawnna, she offered me elevators but I walked a lot. Uvita is best spread, advice to take the elevators. I had wonderful mornings at the revier where you are completely private. I felt super comfortable. Thank you!

Ik had een fijn verblijf bij Shawnna, ze bood me liften aan maar ik heb veel gelopen. Uvita is best verspreid, advies om de liften te nemen. Ik heb heerlijke ochtenden gehad bij de revier waar je helemaal privé bent. Ik voelde me super op me gemak. Dank je wel!

The Host was extremely helpful and friendly. I felt very comfortable. The Place was very clean and has a well equipped kitchen. Would highly recommend !!

Shawna’s place is a gem in the middle of nature. The place is kept with absolute care and everything is perfectly preserved. They take care of all the small details and is something that has a great impact. We stayed with Shawna’s daughter and her boyfriend who treated us so well, offering us local recommendations and making us feel at home!! In Shawna’s kitchen they offer you all the amenities, even eggs!!! The vibe is absolutely magic and would recommend this place over any other to visit Uvita! We will come back for sure, we recommend it 100%!

Great stay. Great hosts and very nice place to stay. Would have loved to stay longer!

Toller Aufenthalt. Super liebe Gastgeber und sehr schöne Unterkunft. Wäre sehr gerne länger geblieben!

A great place to stay in a wonderful  setting! The garden is densely and beautifully overgrown, the small river rushes behind the house and invites you to cool off. Shawnna gives good recommendations, explains paths, is helpful and responsive. Beautiful restaurants are available within walking distance.

Eine tolle Unterkunft in einer wundervollen  Umgebung! Der Garten ist dicht und vielfältig bewachsen, der kleine Fluss rauscht hinter dem Haus und lädt zur Abkühlung ein. Shawnna gibt gute Empfehlungen, erklärt Wege, ist hilfsbereit und ansprechbar. Schöne Restaurants sind zu Fuß erreichbar.

The accommodations at Osa De Rio are an awesome deal, shawnna is a lovely host and super helpful with recommendations and local intel. we would highly recommend staying at her place and hope to come back someday!

Our stay at Shawnna’s place was absolutely perfect - spacious, clean, comfy and great value. Shawnna was also the ideal host. She went out of her way to ensure our stay was as good as it can possibly be and went above and beyond what is expected. We would not hesitate to recommend this place and would stay again in a heartbeat. Cheers Shawnna!

Shawna and her daughter are incredible hosts. Super helpful, generous, informative and friendly. They made our stay feel like home. After a few days I was sad to leave but will definitely recommend them/this spot, and I’ll be back. The river is divine. The dogs and cats that stop by are so wonderful and friendly. The deck is a great place to relax. I could have moved in here.

It was a really fantastic place to stay! It is fantastic and very quiet and very quiet. We got great tips and got help at all times. Unfortunately I got sick and Shawnna made it possible for me to stay one night longer. I would book it again at any time. It's really great!!!

Es war eine wirklich fantastische Unterkunft! Es ist traumhaft und sehr ruhig. Wir haben tolle Tipps bekommen und bei jederzeit Hilfe bekommen. Ich wurde leider krank und Shawnna hat es ermöglicht, dass ich noch eine Nacht länger bleiben durfte. Ich würde die Unterkunft jederzeit nochmal buchen. Es ist wirklich toll!!!

I immediately felt very comfortable. My room was small and cosy and absolutely sufficient for me as a solo traveler. I especially loved the lovely decor of the room and there was a closet for the clothes and a chair. The shared kitchen was well equipped and clean. There was coffee, tea, fridge and also spices. In the back of the house there is a small, short path to the river where you can cool down. The waterfall with natural small and larger pools is about a 15-minute walk away. It is a little further to the center, the beach and the national park and a car is an advantage here. For this you live in a quiet and beautiful environment. Restaurants and supermarkets are within walking distance. Shawnna is a very lovely hostess who helped me a lot with everything and made my 3 day stay a very nice experience. Thank you so much Shawnna!

Ich habe mich gleich sehr wohl gefühlt. Mein Zimmer war klein und gemütlich und für mich als Alleinreisende absolut ausreichend. Besonders schön fand ich die liebevolle Einrichtung des Zimmers und es gab einen Schrank für die Kleidung und einen Stuhl. Die Gemeinschaftsküche war gut ausgestattet und sauber. Es gab Kaffee, Tee, einen Kühlschrank und auch Gewürze. Hinterm Haus gibt es einen kleinen, kurzen Pfad zum Fluss, in dem man sich abkühlen kann. Der Wasserfall mit natürlichen kleinen und größeren Pools ist ca 15 Gehminuten entfernt. Zum Zentrum, zum Strand und zum Nationalpark ist es etwas weiter und ein Auto ist hier von Vorteil. Dafür wohnt man in einer ruhigen und schönen Umgebung. Restaurants und Supermärkte sind fußläufig zu erreichen. Shawnna ist eine sehr liebenswerte Gastgeberin, die mir mit allem sehr geholfen hat und meinen 3 tägigen Aufenthalt zu einem sehr schönen Erlebnis gemacht hat. Vielen lieben Dank Shawnna!

Best Airbnb we’ve stayed at in all Costa Rica! The atmosphere was really nice, everything was very clean, organized and cozy.

STAY HERE! Uvita is a magical place and Shawna's place is perfect to explore. First, this place does not feel like a hostel. You have a private room and share a bathroom and shower with one other room. Because everyone is out exploring, I never had to wait for anything. The kitchen is well equipped for making a meal or snack if needed. Second, this upstairs room is perfect! Everything is so clean, includes a drying rack and a dehumidifier for drying wet clothes, and you get to listen to the sounds of the rainforest as you fall asleep. I mean what could be better? I would recommend bringing a sleeping mask in case you don't want to get up with the sun :) Third, Shawna and her daughter are wonderful hosts!!!! lots of great suggestions of what to do, knowledge of the area and local tours, and always willing to help out their guests. Would recommend a car to get places faster/easier, but it is not a necessity. THANK YOU GUYS, CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK!

Shawnna is the most amazing host - she went out of her way to make our stay perfect! She even cooked a couple meals for us and gave us a ride when needed.  The place is perfectly located to explore the Uvita waterfall, eat and the many amazing restaurants within walking distance or walk through the bamboo forest.  The best part is you have your very own river access.  Highly recommend this place if you like nature!
