2BR cottage in Uvita

Canto de Aves House - Cottages for Rent in Uvita, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

Some upgrading required. I had to get Airbnb help after she insisted washer worked, despite clear photis of a lowleak in a crack. It was our main target for this home and we checked anout washer, stressed the importance and after we we're met with ambivalence.

We are 4 Argentinians exploring Costa Rica and its charms. The place is highly recommended and close to key locations in Uvita. We found it very pleasant during the days we were there, and we had everything we needed to be comfortable. The owner is a 10 out of 10—super attentive.

Somos 4 argentin@s conociendo Costa Rica y sus encantos. El lugar super recomendable y cerca de lugares estratégicos de Uvita. Nos resultó muy agradable los días que estuvimos allí y tuvimos lo necesario para estar cómodo. La dueña 10 puntos super atenta.

Great little spot with everything you need. Close to Uvita markets and easy to get around. Thanks!

nice little house, functional and clean. Very pleasant and responsive host. Good value for money. i recommend it.

petite maison agréable , fonctionnelle et prope. hôte très agréable et réactive bon rapport qualité prix je recommande

Prima locatie voor activiteiten in Uvita.

A very comfortable place. The host is super helpful.

Un lugar bastante cómodo.  la anfitriona super exentente.

Very close to beaches, safe, and good location.

Muy cerca de playas, seguro, y buena ubicación.

Beautiful little house, spacious for 2, with a small garden. We saw parrots, 2 macaws and amazona diadema, a good hundred I would say. Close to Uvita beach. Yessenia allowed us to arrive a little earlier, she is very nice, friendly and available. I recommend it 👍😉

belle petite maison, spacieuse pour 2, avec un petit jardin. on a vu des perroquets, 2 aras et des amazona diadema, une bonne centaine je dirais. proches de la plage d'Uvita. Yessenia nous a permis d'arriver un peu plutôt, elle est très gentille, avenante et disponible. je l'a recommande 👍😉

The cabin was clean, but the bed had an unpleasant smell. Parking was open and lacked any security. While these issues were manageable, the checkout experience was not. We were preparing to leave just 10 minutes before the checkout time when the host unexpectedly entered the cabin, invading our space. This was extremely intrusive and left me feeling very uncomfortable.

Hola Josue, Sobre lo del estacionamiento, en las primeras imágenes del frente de la casa se puede apreciar muy claramente que el parqueo es completamente abierto, si usted desea una casa con un parqueo cerrado le recomendamos mirar bien las fotos o preguntar al anfitrión antes de alquilar el hospedaje. Ahora, en el criterio de veracidad se nos otorgaron 2 estrellas sin justificación, así que deseo recalcar que somos completamente transparentes con cómo se ve nuestro hospedaje y las comodidades que ofrecemos, la casa es igual a como se puede observar en las fotos y cualquier consulta que se tenga sobre esta siempre la contestaremos muy honestamente. Asimismo, en el criterio de ubicación se nos otorgó la misma calificación seguido de un "no hay privacidad", volvemos a recalcar que el alojamiento es exactamente igual a como se aprecia en las imágenes, el lugar es muy tranquilo y la calle del frente no es nada concurrida. Les recordamos que en nuestro anuncio de Airbnb está especificado muy claramente que la salida es a las 11a.m, esto es debido a que la casa debe ser completamente aseada para el ingreso de los siguientes clientes a las 3p.m. Yo llegué a la hora de la salida, no antes, y los clientes aun no estaban listos, de nuevo recordamos que todas estas especificaciones están muy claras en nuestro anuncio.

Yessenia was super welcoming and caring. Always available and attentive, she makes sure we have everything we need. Communication was simple and smooth from start to finish. We immediately felt comfortable.

Yessenia a été super accueillante et attentionnée. Toujours dispo et à l’écoute, elle s’assure qu’on ne manque de rien. La communication a été simple et fluide du début à la fin. On s’est tout de suite sentis à l’aise.

Muchas gracias y que disfruten las vacaciones.

Everything was perfect! We had a great stay in this beautiful home! The garden is beautiful, we loved chatting outside with the birds chirping. The host is very nice and responsive! We'll be happy to go back! Thanks a lot

Tout était parfait ! Nous avons passés un excellent séjour dans cette très belle maison ! Le jardin est magnifique, nous avons adorés discuter dehors avec le chant des oiseaux L’hôte est très gentille et réactive ! Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir ! Merci beaucoup

Very nice place, super quiet and safe! I'll be back

Muy lindo lugar, súper tranquilo y seguro! Volveré

This place was very fair for the price. It's close to the national park, if that's what you are going for. Uvita is not a good place to go without your own car, so we had some trouble getting there. If we had had a car it wouldn't have been a problem at all. The Airbnb is small, simple and tidy. For the price it was great. We fit five people fairly comfortably. It would have been nice to have some extra blankets though. (I think there were three.) We had some ants come up through the floor, which were a bit of a nuisance. It would be nice if the host could fix that issue. Otherwise, we thought everything was nice and fair for the price.

Very good contact with Yessenia, clean and comfortable home, everything was perfect. Thank you :)

Très bons contacts avec Yessenia, maison propre et confortable, tout était parfait. Merci :)

The location of the Casita is great, about mid way between the Marino Ballena National Park with it’s beautiful beaches and the Uvita town area where you can find grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, banks, bus station, etc. It’s also not far from the area where the Farmer’s Market is held on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The market is definitely worth visiting. Yessenia was a great host and available if there was anything we needed.

The house is very nice, especially at breakfast, in the garden, having a coffee and observing many birds in the tree

La casa es muy agradable, sobre todo en el desayuno, en el jardín, tomando un café y observando muchas aves en el árbol

Very friendly host. cottage is clean and tidy. beautiful garden, only benches are a bit hard to sit

Zeer vriendelijke host. huisje is schoon en netjes. prachtige tuin, alleen bankjes zijn wat hard om te zitten

good value for the money. Correct amenities. the skeptical pit is next to the outdoor table... pity Lots of music until very late in the morning on one of the two nights ( related to the Weekend?) But great availability from Yessina to respond when we needed it. Thank you

bon rapport qualité/prix. Equipements correct. la fosse sceptique est a côté de la table d'extérieur... dommage Beaucoup de musique jusqu'à très tard le matin sur une des deux nuits ( liée au Weekend ?) Mais grande disponibilité de Yessina à nous répondre quand on en a eu besoin. Merci

The place was exactly as advertised, comfortable and charming.there are good restaurants and a small supermarket nearby, and the beach is an easy walk. Yessenia was very helpful and communicative.

it was a very pleasant stay, the house with everything you need, located in a strategic area, close to everything but without annoying noises to have a good rest..yesenia, a super friendly host... totally recommended

fue una estancia muy agradable, la casa con todo lo necesario, ubicada en una zona estratégica, cerca de todo pero sin ruidos molestos para tener un buen descanso..yesenia una anfitriona super amable...recomendado totalmente

The location was great! very peaceful and very close to the National Park entrance.

Very clean. Host was very friendly, informative and accommodating. Nice little back yard to dry laundry or enjoy the trees and the birds. Peaceful location fairly close (around 40min walk) to the whale’s tale beach, markets, and restaurants. Great value.

Highly recommended. Excellent host. It even allowed us to leave things in the house before check-in so we could get out. She is very kind. The house is small, but has everything you need to be comfortable.

Muy recomendado. Anfitriona excelente. Incluso nos permitió dejar las cosas en la casa antes del check in para que pudiesemos salir. Ella muy amable. La casa es pequeña, pero tiene todo lo necesario para estar cómodos.

Yessenia's place is very well equipped, quiet. We had trouble finding it because the GPS point left us on the main road and our Spanish left something to be desired, but it was responsive to give us an accurate address. The tips upon arrival were valuable.

Le logement proposé par Yessenia est très bien équipé, au calme. Nous avons eu des difficultés à trouver car le point GPS nous a laissé sur la route principale et notre espagnol laisse à désirer, mais elle a été réactive pour nous communiquer une adresse précise. Les conseils à notre arrivée ont été précieux.

The place is very nice, very good service

well located accommodation for visiting uvita and the surroundings. the accommodation is quiet, small negative point the bedding. communication with Yessenia is very good. we were lucky enough to see macaws in the morning.

logement bien situé pour visiter uvita et les alentours. le logement est calme, petit point négatif la literie. la communication avec Yessenia s'effectue tres bien. nous avons eu la chance de voir des aras le matin.

We got to Uvita pretty late and Yessenia came out late in the evening to let us in. She brought extra towels and a super friendly and helpful. No complaints!

The place is very nice: small but well equipped, quiet and cozy. The backyard is very cute and full of animals :) I recommend staying here!

Yessenia is a very kind person! She helped us with several things and was always available. Thank you Yessenia! The apartment is nice, small and simple, we recommend it for a short stay. It has a nice garden where you can spend time to rest. The area is very quiet but close to downtown. However, we recommend renovating the house: the large bed squeaks as soon as you move and the general furnishings are quite old. Also the house was quite dirty, especially the kitchen.

Yessenia è una persona davvero gentile! Ci ha aiutato in diverse cose ed è stata sempre disponibile. Grazie Yessenia! L’appartamento è carino, piccolo e semplice, lo consigliamo per un soggiorno breve. Ha un bel giardino dove poter passare del tempo per riposare. La zona è molto tranquilla ma vicina al centro. Consigliamo però di rinnovare la casa: il letto grande cigola appena ti muovi e l’arredo generale è piuttosto vecchio. Inoltre la casa era piuttosto sporca, soprattutto la cucina.

Muchas gracias por tu comentario. Me gustaria recordarles a futuros huespedes, que tanto la casa como el moviliario que se presenta en las fotos es exactamente el mismo que se encuentra en la estadia, si se tiene alguna duda sobre alguno de los dos no duden en consultarme , ademas, antes de la llegada de un cliente nos aseguramos de que el alojamiento este lo mas limpio posible, muy buen dia.

This was a great place to stay at while we visited Uvita and the surrounding areas. The beach is a 5 minute drive away and so is the supermarket. At night, it is really quiet unlike in some other parts of Costa Rica where you can hear dogs constantly barking or roosters crowing. There is a small, short gravel road to drive on to get to the house but it’s not a problem at all.

Great location and nice host. The place has a beautiful, big backyard. The inside is a bit small for 4 people, which is not ideal when it's raining.

Yessinia was a very friendly, helpful, and thoughtful host. She had given us a delicious pineapple as a welcome gift. The casita was a quiet little slice of paradise with its lovely garden and bird chirping. Delicious restaurants were 6 or 7 minutes drive from the cottage and whale beach 5 minutes away

Yessinia a été une hôte très sympathique, serviable et attentionnée. Elle avait déposée pour nous un délicieux ananas comme cadeau de bienvenue. La casita était un petit coin de paradis tranquille avec son joli jardin et le chant des oiseaux. De délicieux restaurants se trouvaient à 6 ou 7 mn en voiture de la maisonnette et la plage de la baleine à 5 mn

We really enjoyed our stay! We will definitely return ♥️ Yessenia is very nice & attentive!

Beautiful place, quiet and secluded. 1.3km from Marino Bellenas Park

Bel endroit, calme et retiré. À 1,3 km du parc marino Bellenas

Yessenia was very easy to work with and it was a great host. We will be back. Thanks!

the accommodation is great. In addition, colibris constantly come by, which was a huge joy for me personally. yessenia is also extremely helpful, although it was Saturday night, she still helped me with the laundry. i would book this place again

die unterkunft ist top. zudem kommen da ständig colibris vorbei, was mir persönlich eine riesen freude war. yessenia ist zudem extrem hilsbereit, obwohl es samstag abend war hat sie mir noch mit der wäsche geholfen. ich würde dies unterkunft wieder buchen.

We enjoyed staying at Yessinia’s place. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped for a short stay, and the AC and internet worked well for video calls. It would have been great to have an outdoor shower after coming back from the beach. However the place was a great price and location, so we’d gladly return!

Great place to stay with dogs. We have a excellent time. Yessenia is a nice person

Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy an excellent accommodation, we loved the area. We achieved our goal, to de-stress from so much trajín.

Muchas gracias por permitirnos disfrutar de un excelente alojamiento, nos encantó la zona. Logramos nuestro objetivo, desestresarnos de tanto trajín.

All very good but the internet was not good for a zoom meeting. The location was great, it was in total nature. If we saw several bugs but it's natural in the area.

Todo muy bueno pero el internet no fue taaan bueno para hacer una reunión de zoom. La ubicación fue genial, estaba en una naturaleza total. Si vimos varios insectos pero es algo natural por la zona.

Wonderful host and beautiful location.  Yessenia was incredibly responsive to any questions we had and offered great suggestions including local recommendations.

Thank you, Yessenia, for a world class experience!!!

A beautiful retreat with everything you need for optimal well-being. Yessenia was very accommodating and made our stay a memorable experience, we'll be happy to come back!

Ein schöner Rückzugsort mit allem was man für das optimale Wohlbefinden braucht. Yessenia war sehr zuvorkommend und hat uns den Aufenthalt zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht, wir kommen gerne wieder!

Yessenia has thought of everything in a very mindful, simple, clean & sustainable way. From the careful instructions on compost, recycling & trash to water wise clothes washing access to a small kitchen with everything necessary for small meals. Super fantástico y gracioso, Yessenia pensó en todo!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The host was very good at communicating and providing a very comfortable place

Yessenia's place was perfect for our short visit to Uvita. The house had everything we needed, and we loved the patio with the bench outside. The place is close to everything (supermarkets, pharmacy, festival, etc.), making our trip easy! We would love to come back again next year!

a simple house with everything you need. next to the beach and Yessenia always answer'your questions fast. thank you

There’s no wifi router in the house - the wifi is from another house, therefore is not consistent or fast enough for Zoom or working from home. Yessenia was nice about this and explained she was trying to get a new router, but be aware you cannot depend on the wifi at all. Also, the keys weirdly can lock you in if you lock the door from the outside, and it’s not possible to open the doors from the inside, so be aware of that. Also there wasn’t enough toilet paper. Location is good, about 20-30min walk to town, but it’s on an unmarked dirt road so it’s difficult to get taxis from the house if you need.

Gracias por tus comentarios, los utilizaremos para mejorar en el futuro. Sin embargo el internet de la casa es compartido ya que se encuentra en la misma propiedad, además a partir de la próxima semana tendremos un router nuevo, segundo nunca he tenido problemas con las llaves o las puertas, si en algún momento le fallan se pueden comunicar conmigo, tercero si algún cliente necesita mas suministros como toallas limpias o papel higiénico me puede escribir y yo se los proveeré con todo gusto, por ultimo en la casa siempre se deja un libro con números de taxistas y farmacias , restaurantes recomendados etc... para que el huésped pueda acceder a estos servicios mas fácilmente. El cliente fue muy amable pero muchas de sus inconformidades se pudieron haber resuelto si esta hubiera sido mas comunicativa. Si en su estadía se encuentra con algún inconveniente por favor no dude en comunicarse conmigo, yo me encuentro a su disposición en cualquier cosa que necesite.

This house was great and Yessenia also. very friendly and helpfull!

Everything was great, we enjoyed our stay very much.

Alles super, wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

The hosts were so responsive and kind. The location is Central and quiet. We watched birds and iguanas from the yard. Toucans woke us up every morning. It was well stocked with everything you could need. We really enjoyed our stay.

A charming, super clean and comfy little house. It had everything we needed for our stay in Uvita: well equiped kitchen, AC, wifi, a washing machine (it is shared with the neighbour, but we had no problems). The neighbourhood is safe and quiet. Uvita center is a good 25 mins walk, it can be a bit far when itcis hot out there. There were lots of birds in the garden, one evening we saw an armadillo passing by :) Yesenia is a super kind host, she was very flexible with arrival time and gave us a lot of useful advice. I highly recommend staying here!

Very nice little casita good AC which is pretty needed in Costa Rica 20 mins walk to posts Uvita and the whale watching tours. The local plays hermosa near by is very nice to

clean. Yesenia is very nice and responsive. lovely cottage I saw a hummingbird in addition to many other birds. there is good coffee, tea, books and more.

pulito. Yesenia molto simpatica e reattiva. casina deliziosa ho visto un colibrì oltre a molti altri uccelli. c'è il caffè buono, te, libri e altro.

Yesenia made sure that everything you needed was available and easy to find for cooking and more. The cottage was spotless and comfortable and 5 minutes drive from the beach!

We enjoyed our stay at Yesenia’s place. She was helpful and responsive throughout our stay. The house is comfortable and clean, but a bit small. Although the kitchen is fairly well equipped it lacks counter space which makes it a bit challenging to prepare meals, but we made it work. It’s in a nice quiet location surrounded by trees, which made our stay peaceful. It’s also a short drive from everything in Uvita. There is a great swimming spot on the river nearby that you could even walk to as it’s so close. Overall I would recommend staying here.

She was awesome! Such an awesome host! I left something in her house and she was very responsive and made sure I got my belongings back.

The accommodation is well equipped kitchen side, it has a sofa and two 2 bedrooms. Yesenia's little house is air-conditioned and has a small garden, the place is quiet and close to everything. We recommend it!

Le logement est bien équipé côté cuisine, il dispose d'un canapé et deux 2 chambres. La petite maison de Yesenia est climatisée et dispose d'un petit jardin, l'endroit est tranquille et proche de tout. On recommande!

The house has an excellent location. However, we were not 100% comfortable due to the following points: There is no space to cook. In addition, there is no space to put appliances. If you connect the coffee maker and a kitchenette at the same time, the electricity breakers are triggered many times. The refrigerator never works well. If it rains, you can't go out in the garden. There's not at least a little roof to get out. In addition, the water in the washing machine goes directly to the garden and is too muddy. The washing machine is shared with another house on another property, although it is located inside the house that one rents. We didn't know this and our neighbors informed us in an unfriendly way. The house needs maintenance. There was nowhere to unpack your clothes. There is only a small space with hooks. There is no TV

La casa tiene excelente locacion. Sin embargo no estuvimos al 100% comodos debido a los siguientes puntos: No existe espacio para poder cocinar. además no hay espacio para poner los electrodomesticos. Si conectas el coffee maker y una cocina pequeña a la vez se disparan los breakers de electricidad muchas veces. La refrigeradora nunca funciono bien. En el Jardin si llueve no se puede salir, no existe al menos un poco de techo para poder salir. Además el agua de la lavadora va directo al Jardin y es demasiado el barro. La lavadora es compartida con otra casa en otra propiedad, aunque esta se encuentra dentro de la casa que uno renta. Desconociamos esto y nuestras vecinos nos informaron de una forma poco amigable. La casa necesita mantenimiento. No había donde poder desempacar la ropa de las valijas. solo hay un pequeño espacio con ganchos. No hay tv

Yesenia is very helpful and friendly and easy to reach. The house is quiet, there is everything you need, even a washing machine. In 20 minutes you can be on the beach in the national park. Highly recommended!

Yesenia ist sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich und gut zu erreichen. Das Haus liegt ruhig, es ist alles da was man braucht, sogar eine Waschmaschine. In 20 min ist man am Strand im Nationalpark. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Really nice and quiet little house with a beautiful garden. We had an amazing time there. The entrance to the national park is only a 20 min walk away and we even saw many animals and birds while having breakfast in the garden. It’s perfect and well equipped for cooking. We loved the place !

We are very happy with the casita. Yesenia hosted us very well, she was very accommodating at the time of our arrival,  we will not forget. The house is functional,  convenient and pleasant to stay in.  Kitchen is well equipped.  The house is well located close to all amenities on foot (National Park, supermarket,  bus,...) Thank you to Yesenia and her family for their hospitality and fruit😉.

Nous sommes très content de la casita. Yesenia nous a très bien reçu, elle a su être très arrangeante au moment de notre arrivée,  nous n'oublierons pas. La maison est fonctionnelle,  pratique et agréable à y séjourner.  La cuisine est bien équipée.  La maison est bien située proche de toutes commodités à pied (parc National, super marché,  bus,...) Merci à Yesenia et sa famille pour leurs hospitalité et les fruits 😉.

Gracias por todo fue un placer recibirlos.

couldn't ask for a better place. perfect balance between commodity and price. perfect for cooking and rest. Yesenia is an A+ host

Amazing value and location. Exactly as advertised; no frills but everything you need. PLUS a million stunning birds all over! Feels like you’re in the country but super close to everything! I would like to LIVE in Yesenia’s little house!

Muchas gracias Jana fue un placer tenerlos como huéspedes gracias por la dirección me ah servido de mucho.

We stayed for 3 weeks and it was well worth the money we paid. Great location. Clean. Yesenia was very responsive to everything we needed and was super friendly and welcoming. The only downside was that we really couldn't use the outdoor space because it was covered in ants.  Oh - and to get hot water in the shower, you need to turn the water pressure down. That took some time to figure out! Overall, I would recommend staying here and I would stay here again.

Gracias por todo fue un placer tenerlos como clientes los niños muy educados, la casa quedo super limpia y ordenada.

Great little cottage with a backyard, with all the essentials. Everything was good, thank you Yesenia for coming in the rain on a bicycle to assist me finding the place when I got lost, it was very kind of you.

Yesenia's cottage was adorable and sweet to visit.  We were meant to be there for one day but extended it to two. It provides everything you need, its very clean, close to the beach access by foot(10 ish minutes). Yesenia was extremely kind, communicative, and helpful. The only thing I would ask about is if the construction is happening before you book if that matters to you. For us, it was not affecting our time there, but the neighbour did have ongoing construction.

really comfortable, you get what you need and price is really good . ideal for and relax. communication with the host was ok and really help me to get there with the indications . 100 % recommended . the river is close to the house.. you can take a bath in the clean water. :)

Excellent house , good location and good price.

Excelente casita , buena ubicacion y buen precio.

very nice house great location and a very cool place with clean air

muy bonita la casa excelente ubicación y un lugar muy fresco con aire limpio

There are not enough words to describe the amazing care and attentiveness given by Yesenia even before I arrived to the home. It really felt like a home, and was clean, close to everything important including waterfalls, Marino Ballena National park, Dominical, local markets, grocery stores and more. Yesenia even came by to make sure that I understood how to use the washing machine and that everything was well for me. She even met me at the bus station to ensure that I got the right bus ticket back to San Jose! She went above and beyond as a person, as a host, and I will be infinitely grateful to Yesenia for treating me like family during my first solo trip to Costa Rica. Thank you so much, Yesenia! Definitely a place to stay to experience what Uvita has to offer.
