- Toucans
Scarlet macaws often fly overhead in pairs in the late afternoon and regularly visit the almond tree. If you hear nuts falling, remain quiet and you may be able to observe them in the branches.
Green parrots gather in the trees in front of the property, particularly in the late afternoon. Their excited, squeaky chirping is often easy to hear.
Howler monkeys frequently call from the nearby river, especially around 5:00 a.m. Birds can be heard chirping each morning, while scarlet macaws and green parrots often make noise as they return home around dusk.
The property also has a resident iguana named Fred, who enjoys sunbathing and eating hibiscus flowers. White egrets regularly visit the field and surrounding trees to search for food.

Pets on the Property
Two friendly cats live on the property. They should not be allowed inside the cabina. Minette, the older cat, may try to enter, but she responds when gently shooed away. Guests with allergies do not need to worry about the cats entering the cabina.
A rescue dog named Artemis also lives on the property. His comfort and behavior depend greatly on the energy and attitude of those around him.

We really enjoyed Nikki’s place and have everything we needed to stay for a week to feel like home. Nikki is a wonderful host and very attentive to our needs and always being helpful. The place is very clean and the bed is very comfortable. Highly recommended to anyone who is interested to stay!

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!

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!

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.

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.
