We stayed just one night, as we were just passing through, and honestly, I would go back. Great location, great communication with the host, very good price, and a super relaxing pool to unwind in at night.
The three Bs: I really liked it, and for its price, I think it's excellent. The bathroom mirror is a little high for an average Costa Rican, and a full-length mirror would work very well. It would also be good to have enclosed parking so you don't have to take all your things out of the car for safety reasons. The floor around the pool is a little slippery, but otherwise it was excellent, and I would definitely come back. Thank you for your attention!!
I had to stay there at the last minute, and the host responded very quickly and made the reservation the same day. I chose this place because it says it has a 220V outlet for charging an electric car. However, when we arrived, there was already a vehicle charging, and we had to take turns. I am very grateful to Greg for welcoming me and my family. And I recommend that if you're going to book because of the convenience of charging your vehicle, you should make sure that the charger will be available throughout the stay. The place is very clean. They have rooms on the first floor and the second floor. So if you have trouble climbing stairs, ask where your room will be located before booking.

I really enjoyed my stay at the property. It was clean and quiet, and the beach is within walking distance.

Very nice place. I highly recommend it
We really enjoyed our stay and, overall, had a very nice experience. The pool was definitely the best thing about the place, "although it had a lot of chlorine." As a suggestion for improvement, I think the accommodation is more suitable for short stays, as the space can be small if several people stay for several days. We really enjoyed the stay and appreciate the attention received.

The place was very nice for a private room at that price, with a small pool. It is a bit of a walk to the beach, about 20 minutes, which was very doable if you don’t have a car, and also very close to the Tracopa bus station if you come by bus from the airport, so it is conveniently located for that. The other people staying there were also very friendly. Having AC was nice as well.

I found it to be an excellent place—comfortable, clean, a 20-minute walk from the beach, and quiet. The pool was perfect.
Perfect stay! The place was exactly as described and shown in the photos. Great value for money 👍🏼 I would definitely recommend it, and would definitely stay again.

Great place in Uvita. We only stayed one night but everything was perfect!
The place is very nice and the facilities are comfortable, too bad they wanted to charge us for damage that the screen had before check-in, it definitely leaves us with a bad experience

Unbeatable price-room ratio, it is a place to stay for 2-3 nights, it depends on your luck if you get noisy or polite "neighbors".
Great cozy place with everything one need for a short visit. Friendly hosts. Thanks 🙏

Ok place for a night or 2.
Wonderful stay after 3 days with the 4X4 on the road without sleeping. Lovely air conditioning and a reasonably nice bed. Staff responds very quickly and thinks with you. Swimming pool was really too dirty for words in the evening upon arrival, but the next morning it seemed cleaned.

Excellent location, close to bus stops and the Ballena National Marine Park. I was able to walk around. The place was very clean and I had good communication with the hosts. It's a good place to stay if you're traveling alone or with one companion.

Good deal, you get what you pay for. Convenient location. Nice housekeeping staff.
Very friendly host and cleaning staff. Everything was very clean. The room was functional but uncomfortable, the table was unstable and incompatible with the height of the chair, which makes being in the room unpleasant. The terrace has no roof so it cannot be used in case of rain, which forces you to be locked in the room. During the two-day stay, there was a very annoying noise that a camera made, apparently, it didn't let me sleep. It wasn't what I expected in terms of the physical location. Regards!!!
exactly like the photos, very helpful and fast host. everything was clean and organized. small but very nice. kitchen had all the new and clean utensils. the hot shower and water pressure were perfect.

We had to cancel the reservation because we were assigned a room at a lower price than we paid. There were also people consuming liquor in the pool and with glass bottles, as well as a noisy and inappropriate atmosphere for resting.
Greg was a great guest. He kept the place clean and followed house rules. would definitely host again.

Super clean, very well equipped for cooking and having an aperitif. The pool and terrace, a significant bonus. We had a great time. The only downside is that you can hear the road early in the morning but earplugs solved the problem. Thanks

Nice rooms and area. Car, bike, etc. is needed because it’s pretty far away from the beach and all the things tourist want to do. But worth it!

The place is not very large but has everything a person could need and the air conditioning keeps it cool very nicely.
In a good location, and pleasant. Hosts are responsive to messages 👍🏻 The apartment was nice, and the pool was great. Missing may be a few cooking utensils, including a strainer but it's not a big deal at all. I'm happy with my stay!! 😄

We had a really nice time. The place has everything we need. We loved it. No single complaint would be the state of the pool. They need to maintain it. It would be good if they gave cloths for the pool
Host Response
Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you enjoyed your stay and that the place had everything you needed. We appreciate your feedback about the pool and will make sure to improve its maintenance. Providing pool towels is a great suggestion, and we’ll consider adding them for future guests. We’d love to host you again!
The parking is not closed, the 220V socket for vehicle loading is outdoors, it gets wet the socket and the charger when it rains and the connection box is not comfortable for my charger since it has a socket that is not ideal for my charger I had to force the cable to enter the interperie box that they used that is not ideal or the right one. The very clean containers, the availability of the anfitreon and the co-host excellent. in my case I chose them because it is the option that appears with a loader of vehicles and that is to thank the anfitreon.

It's a perfect stay for a short trip and for a couple, it has everything you need in a quite comfortable space
Had a fantastic stay at Emi’s place. Greg and Alina are warm and welcoming. They were very responsive and made us feel right at home. The tiny homes are clean and tidy with everything you need and within walking distance of most things in Uvita. The pool and patio are a great addition and we used them a lot! Overall a fantastic experience,

We only stayed one night here and it was great. The place was clean, only a few ants wandering around but we used to rub shoulders with them since we arrived in Costa Rica (don't leave food behind). The hostess was very welcoming and very nice. 30 minute walk to Bahia Ballena Park and a great pizza/pasta restaurant next door.

This place is great! The rooms have everything you need but nothing extra that you don’t. Very minimal and practical. Comfortable bed, tv, kitchen and air conditioning. Nice pool and elevated deck for eating. Easy and safe parking. Every day there were people cleaning the vacant rooms and they always offered to clean mine. The owner Greg was very nice and helpful. The resident host Alina was equally nice and helpful. Good central location as well. I will definitely stay here again.

The place was well described and did fit with what we were expecting in terms of space and amenities. With that being said, there were 2 negative things to point out: it was initially slightly difficult to find the place initially and also, the 2 nights we were there, there was various noises of maintenance, construction, machines around working that disturbed our sleep so that could be improved. Overall, I would still recommend!

Excelente lugar
Our stay at the shipping container studio in Uvita, Costa Rica, was incredible. The studio was cozy, the pool pristine, and the rooftop sunsets breathtaking. Alina, our host, was friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Highly recommend this tranquil oasis for a memorable getaway. Can’t wait to return!
A little container hotel with a cute pet dog Luna wandering around. The small pool was nice, people were swimming and hanging out after dark but everyone went quiet after 9pm. Small room, but just what we needed for one night. Clean and tidy.
We stayed here one night, the check in was easy and uncomplicated. In the room it gets very hot, without air conditioning it is hard to imagine. However, the air conditioning is great, cooled to a nice temperature within a few minutes and was very quiet. The combination was quick and good. The only criticism, we found the mattress very uncomfortable. Otherwise definitely a recommendation!
