Nikki

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!

I loved my stay here! It is close to town but still quiet and private. Great price for the spot! Izmark and Nikki were very nice and accommodating. Thank you for having me!

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!

The studio is beautiful, well kept and located near the center of Uvita. It is well conditioned and has everything you need to have a pleasant time. Nikki is attentive, responds quickly and helps resolve issues.

Nikki is a fantastic hostess. Always helped us with any questions and always suggested new adventures

We had a great time at this place. Nice and quiet. I totally recommend it.

I love this place. The bed and pillows are comfortable. The lighting is really nice and all the details of the place are perfect for a great stay. It’s clean and spacious. The kitties on the porch are very sweet. This was the most comfortable spot we’ve stayed in on our trip so far.

In Uvita, Nikki’s place is a go-to. Secure, centrally located, great AC, clean and accommodating as is your host the dynamo named Nikki… she’ll help you in every way possible…I just stayed for a month and the time just flew by…excellent value for your money…pay attention to her restaurant reviews as they are spot on… do the ATV tour which is just down the street and zip line at OSA Canopy Tours among other things…good stuff all!

The home was a great place to stay while exploring Uvita. Nikki was a great host and very communicative. The house was cozy and well equipped.

Amazing place! The location was great, withinwalking distance to a brewery, a coffee shop, a convenience store and a couple of nice restaurants. A short drive to get the main part of town, the Uvita Waterfall, and the beach/Marino Ballena National Park. A quiet and inviting place. Definitely worth the stay!

Great space and location in Playa Uvita. Within walking distance to many restaurants, markets and a short drive to various beaches. Quiet and comfortable and Nikki is always available to share all her knowledge about places to go, and for whatever you may need. Looking forward to returning 😎

Nikki has a really nice place with a hidden garden. She knows the place very well and can help you along! Can really reccomend staying at her guesthouse!

It is an apartment with everything you need to stay as a local in Uvita, recommended.

Nikki’s place was clean, comfortable, and in a great location for visiting Uvita. Check-in was very easy and Nikki was a great, responsive, and generous host. Would definitely recommend this place! Bonus, there is a fantastic vegetarian and vegan cafe right up the street!

Great, clean stay. Excellent location for Uvita.

The place is easy to get to, close to everything, supermarkets, ATM, and very nice and cozy!

A great place to stay. Quiet and peaceful with a lot of great food options near by from classy to cheap. WiFi was nice had no problems with it and loved how close it was to the beaches and waterfalls. Definitely will be back again

The place is very quiet, the apartment is nice and spacious

Nikki's place is one of a kind. It is off the beaten path yet close enough to all major amenities. Highly recommend for location, hospitality and overall comfort. Nikki is an amazing host who goes above and beyond. Our stay at her cabina will be unforgettable.

We had a great stay! The house is located in a fantastic spot, and Nikki is a great host! There is plenty of storage room which is extremely helpful for long stays like ours.

The location was excellent (some of the best sushi and drinks I’ve had are right next door) and within walking distance of the beach and waterfall! The space was clean and beautiful!

This is a great place to spend some days in Uvita. It is very close to grocery stores, banks, beaches and restaurants. Nikki is a great host. She responded fast and was always available to provide answers and tips. I highly recommend this place. I hope to get back to it soon! Maria

Nikki's place was a great stay.. very clean and cozy.

A very clean , comfortable studio, with all the amenities and an excellent location

The cabina is a nicely appointed studio, perfectly decorated, air conditioned with a comfortable bed, porch and above ground pool to enjoy. Parking is on the property and your vehicle is secure behind a gate. Located minutes from restaurants, shops, grocery stores, banks and one of the most amazing waterfalls you have ever seen. Uvita is a gem of a town and the area is very lush with beautiful.

Nikki as a host is very friendly, her cabin is very well equipped, something that emphasizes is the privacy and tranquility in which you feel, also the proximity to a beautiful waterfall and shopping venues, thank you Nikki!!!

A fun, local spot with access to the beach and the town of Uvita.

We absolutely loved our stay (nearly two weeks) at Nikki’s cabina. Nikki is a great hostess, always responsive and helpful. The cabina is very comfortable for two people (bed is super comfy!) We loved the verandah overlooking Nikki’s garden and the pool. And we were very pleasantly surprised at the lack of bugs! We expected to be harrassed by mosquitos in Costa Rica, but none in evidence at the cabina or anywhere really, except the jungle/forest. The location is great, a short walk to many great restaurants, a lovely waterfall, a supermarket and a convenience store. You need a car to get around to all the beautiful spots further afield. We’ll be back to Uvita to visit family, and hope we can stay here again. Thank you Nikki :-)

Nikki’s place was the perfect little vacation home! It was clean and had all of the amenities one would need. The pool was lovely on the hot Cost Rican days! The home was clean and comfortable. The location was ideal for being in Uvita. Nikki was an outstanding host. Very communicative and hospitable. Will definitely be staying here again!!

Nikki's place is so good! Location can not be beat in Uvita — a 10 minute walk from grocery, restaurants, and the bus stop. The space itself is very cute and a perfect launch pad for a few days in the area. Nikki's communication was excellent, check-in and -out was a breeze. Would stay again!

Cool place with great host and chill cats. Would absolutely stay again.

We had an amazing stay!! Great location close to shops, grocery, bank, and restaurants. We had pretty much everything we needed at the Cabana! Nikki provides great recommendations of local spots to visit!

Nikki is a great host. She kept in touch with us by email; so we were certain that she was waiting for us. The room was very clean and felt spacious. Large room with high ceilings, screens on windows, 3 fans and ac. Full fridge and well outfitted kitchen. No stove but lots electric appliances that worked great. There is a very small sticker on the gate that says Cheeky Monkey, other than that it was easy to find. Really excellent restaurant 200 m away, but reserve ahead. We had a car but there are a few stores close enough to walk to. We are used to Costa Rican jungle noise and this was quieter than most places we have stayed at. Nikki was always cheerful and super helpful.

Cozy and nice cabina in a beautiful garden. Well located - it is a short walk to the waterfall and to a really nice wine bar.

recommended, very clean and the place is very safe

Could not have been happier after choosing Nikki's Cabanas in Uvita...They're situated a block from central Uvita w/ great restaurants, a bank, and markets. The cabana was spacious and everything you would need to relax.....prop up on a hammock or make a meal in house is there for your convenience. Nikki set me up w a taxi company that w/in minutes could get me to a particular beach to surf, walk thru the rainforest et al...super convenient!!!! She knows the area so well, including the southern neighbor Ojochal....so don't hesitate to ask for great recommendations...definitely coming back annually.

we had an absolute wonder time and rest there. well worth the trip.

Excellent place, very quiet and pleasant, very clean...

Nikki's place is super nice and very convenient to town, the beach, and waterfalls. It was easy to check in and we enjoyed relaxing in the hammock and admiring the many tropical plants. Her cats are quite friendly and filled our pet void for the day.

Clean and modern studio. Way above the other local standards. Only little issue is the road that is not finished in front. Watch out for your car, if you're by car.

Very clean and good location. Separate entrance, the only thing that could be improved is to put hot water in the shower, everything else is perfect, as shown in the photos and better, it has AC that you can't see in the photos too.

Great place!!!

Great host and spot!

This place is seriously great. Costa Rica is a little on the expensive side, but Uvita is a small enough city to avoid serious price gouging. It's also got a pretty phenomenal beach. Waves big enough for fun, not big enough to really scare you though. Nikki's place is in a pretty good location too. It's a short walk to the center of the town, to the local waterfall, and to a firefly lit bamboo forest. There are a few hostals nearby (not close enough for any noise issues). Which is great, because you get the benefit of friendly youth hostal bar tenders without having to, ya know, live at a youth hostal. The cabin is small but open. Kitchen is big enough to cook real meals in. Bed was big enough to fit my wife and my massive gringo self. Nikki also installed AC while we were there, and you can really chill the place down quickly if you want. Also, very friendly host. Costa Rica lifestyle all the way. Lent us some beach towels, gave some local tips... Just the small stuff that makes a stay enjoyable. Fantastic place. Hope to return.

Very nice little case, very functional, very nicely decorated and very clean ! Very nice beaches accessible by car so very convenient and well located ! We only stayed one night but would have loved to enjoy more ...! Nikki is lovely (as are the little cats in the garden) and very available. This little Cheaky Monkey Cabina is perfect ! Pura Vida

Nice space in nice area. Helpful host.

My husband and I came to Uvita for a night for my birthday. When we arrived she greeted us at the front gate. She happened to be going away for a couple days herself. So she gave us a run down on details of her place and how the gate works ect. Inside the Cabina was very cute and nice decor and very clean and spacious. The cabina has a side door and a sliding door at the back so you can spend some time outside. The waterfall is a quck hike up the hill and is definitely worth checking out. Nikki also recommended the bamboo forest. Very cool experience!!! At the end of the road, we found this restaurant called Los Laureles. Absolutely amazing!!! They have Kombucha on tap and incredible menu. I would definitely recommend Nikki’s Cabinas and looking forward to coming back next year !!!

Such a lovely space! Beautiful touches that made it feel like a home, we were happy to have a quiet place for our first night in Costa Rica close to the town

We only stayed at Nikki's place for one night, but it was exactly as we wished. A warm welcome and uncomplicated check-in. Then a tastefully decorated room + great bathroom. We didn't use the kitchen at all. It is also practical that you can park your car safely behind the gate and thus also leave valuables in the car. However, having a car is very beneficial because the path to the beach is a little further (by car 5 min). Thanks to Nikki, we will be happy to come back :-)

Cheeky Monkey is super comfortable with everything you need for a comfortable and pleasant stay in Uvita Nikky was always very attentive and everything was great.

Nikki's cabina was perfect! It had everything we needed. Unfortunately we were on foot & it's a bit of a walk to the ocean (45 mins) but we took a taxi home one day which was only about $4. Nikki was lovely and bubbly and gave us a few tips of things to do in Uvita. I'd recommend this cabina to anyone staying in Uvita. Pura Vida! :)

A nice, clean, cozy place, it has many details, it has everything you need to spend a very good time as a couple. Close to beaches, centrally located, and easily accessible. Nikki's attention and communication were always very good, attentive to us; 100% recommended!

Nikki is a ray of energy! She is in a great location totally walkable to town. We walked with a baby stroller. Felt very safe. Place is quiet, cute, and has all you need (except AC). Close to the beautiful waterfall too! Nikki- if you get a chance, chat with her. She’s such a delight to talk to. She has great info on activities in the area and she’s easy to talk to. Great set up and adorable place. Love the private yard and sweet cats (outside). Also, just a few meters off the main route.

Nikki’s place was a nice stop for us in Costa Rica, it was really clean and comfortable, the parking spot is great as well . She went above and beyond welcoming us and providing tons of tips on activities, great host!

Very warm hosting by Nikki . Good humor and good advice. Flawless accommodation, very good bedding and perfect nights despite the heat! Step to keep in mind for a future visit!!

The place is amazing, we love it! Nikki is super hiper nice person

Nikki’s place is very comfortable and has everything that you would ask for. We had a pleasant time and enjoyed Uvita a lot!

Nikki's cabina is super nice and located close to an amazing waterfall and the Bambu forest! I borrowed a bike which easily takes u 10-15 min to the beach (famous whales tale) you have some nice cafes and restaurants in the area, uvita definitely has a tranquil and unique feeling. Definitely visit Nikki's place, she is a wonderful host and very knowledgeable about the area. Pura vida !!!

The cabin looks like new and we received it very clean. It has everything you need to have a good time near Marino Ballena National Park (45 minutes on foot), in addition to being close to the San José bus stop

The place is excellent, it is well equipped, you can cook, it is close to everything. Very nice and clean. Recommended

Really Nice appartement

Nikki's place is awesome, it is cosy and well equipped. It is close to shops and restaurants, as well to the National Park. The area is quiet and there is a waterfall nearby.

The place has an excellent location, the apartment is super cozy and clean, the bed is delicious. Completely recommended!

Great place to stay in Uvita! Highly recommended for one or more nights. Nikki is a great host and the place is very quiet and clean. There are cats and dogs on the property.

My stay at the Cheeky Monkey Cabina was exactly what I needed for my week long stay in Costa Rica. Nikki's detailed description of her cabina is spot on for what you receive. She was a great host during my stay, as she was readily available for any questions or comments I had during my stay. I loved the private space I had, while still just being a 5-10 minute walk from the main highway with all the amenities you need. I highly recommend staying with Nikki.

1 month at Nikki's and already the desire to come back soon. The casita is perfect as well equipped, located close to the ocean and the river it is the perfect spot in Uvita ;-) Nikki was very attentive and welcoming. This stay was a very nice experience for me!

Nice place, cozy and clean! Quiet neighborhood! And most important of all: great host!

We had a great stay for a couple of nights at Nikki's cabina. The cabina is very clean, comfy and spacious. The bed is big and comfy and the shower is very good. The kitchen is well equipped. The garden and neighbourhood are pretty and quiet. Nikki is very friendly and helpful. We walked to the Catarata de Uvita, and it was a short drive to surf at Playa Hermosa and Bahia Ballena. I would highly recommend this cabina for staying in Uvita.

We spent a few days in Nikki's little house a nice little studio just built in Uvita. Very clean, very nice shower, a super comfy bed and a host who knows the area very well (understatement)! A few minutes' walk from the falls where it's good to pass the heat of the day. Very easy to get to the beach by taxi. And most importantly, a high quality host!

We stayed at Nikki's during our vacation in Uvita. We loved the location near to an excellent waterfall and swimming hole. The house was very clean and had everything we needed.

Nikki's place is beautiful. Close to the main street from the BCR of uvita. She helped us get there after 9pm, gave us the key and explained how to get there. She was always attentive to our arrival. When we were there in the house there is everything to cook, very equipped kitchen, very cozy, a lot of cleanliness, high ceilings, which remove the heat from the beach, and make it cool. Very detailed, the bed is very comfortable, the place is very bright and has a lot of breeze. Close to uvita waterfall. At night very quiet and the beautiful sky full of stars. Secure gate, and fenced. Totally recommended, we'll be back!

We were so impressed with this rental! Clean & equipped with all essentials. Brand new everything. Nikki was very hospitable and made sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful week in Uvita! We will definitely be back and would rent this spot again.
