Private Guest House With Pool In Exclusive Area, Close to Golf and Beach

We loved absolutely everything about this lovely place. The cottage is so charming, the setting is like a secret garden, and the location was perfect for us: secluded and private, but within walking distance of the beaches, which are spectacular. Karen and Ken are superb hosts, welcoming and informative, but not at all intrusive. The bed and pillows were just right for us, the kitchen had the necessary tools for making breakfast and simple meals. DeVoto’s grocery store just a few miles away provided all of the necessary ingredients. We absolutely hated to leave.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.Great place!

My wife and I were attracted to this property by its description and positive reviews. The hosts and property were exceptional. Out of a possible 10 we give it a 12! Our arrival time was delayed by a cancelled flight, and they went out of their way to meet us and help us get settled. The setting is lovely and spacious, and every amenity was available to us. The hosts also provided very helpful information about the area, but allowed us to enjoy privacy and independence during our 14-day stay. The location is convenient to the beach by walking, and to restaurants and shopping by car. In every way it exceeded our expectations. Recommend with no hesitation.

Highly recommend. The property is charming on an estate in one of the most desirable areas of Punta del Este - close to everything but far enough away that you can breathe the cool Antarctic breezes while you listen to the birds chirp in the lovely English-style garden. Karen and Ken are excellent hosts and lovely humans.

Serene, restful, and private. Great neighbour hood to walk/run. 10 minute walk to beach. The hosts were kind, generous and helpful. Made our stay even more enjoyable. Thank you Karen and Kenny! XO! Highly recommend.

What a beautiful property that was so well built and arranged with fabulous gardens and a pool surrounding the casita. The casita was absolutely lovely and very comfortable with everything needed for any duration of a stay. Our extended time of 30 days was exceptional, peaceful and serene. As active walkers, the distance to the city center or the beach was not a problem and Uber was readily available if you don’t rent a car. They also provided bicycles for use and periodically took us to the local Féria. Kenny and Karen were the most gracious hosts imaginable providing much insight about the areas and things to do and see. They were very generous with their time and attention on even the smallest of matters. We really enjoyed Kenny’s vegetable gardening overview and explanations of his other building endeavors. Karen was just a WhatsApp question away if any type of need arose. She was very responsive, attentive and fun to spend time with as was Kenny. Thanks for a truly memorable experience to our new good friends in Uruguay!

I don’t know how we could have had any better stay in Punta del Este. Karen and Ken were awesome and so sweet and helpful. The casita was perfect with all of the accompaniments of home as well as a beautiful outdoor living space. We loved the 2 dogs that greeted us each morning while we were outside having our coffee.

We absolutely loved our time at Karen and Kenny’s casita. It’s beautifully designed- so tastefully done with many seating areas inside and out. We spent many hours reading and lounging by the pool and staring at the beautiful garden which contained lots of vegetables and herbs ripe for the picking. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need-including 3 different types of coffee makers-and the coffee! Upon arrival there was fruit, bread and cheese. The refrigerator was stock with milk, juice, water-much appreciated! We ate in many times -there’s a wonderful barbecue under a trellis -very romantic! The location couldn’t be better-The neighborhood is lovely with beautiful old houses and a short walk to a stunning beach. The place is so gorgeous you never want to leave-which is what happened-we extended our stay! Can’t say enough about our gracious hosts. Thank you Kenny and Karen! We’d love to come back!

The photos of this property do not do it justice. It is even more charming and special. The have thought of everything to make a stay their place completely comfortable and serene. The location is walkable to a wonderful beach and other sights are close by. Our vacation went way to quickly. We are so fortunate to have this memory and hope to return. It’s a long way from NYC...but worth the time to get here. Thank You Karen and Ken...and their wonderful dog Gardell for welcoming us.

The property is actually even nicer than it looks in the pictures! Spacious bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, big comfy bed, and a great little patio area next to the pool. It's just a 5 minute drive from the city, and pleasant walking distance to the beach. Karen and her husband are fantastic hosts! They'll give as much attention or privacy as you desire. Looking forward to staying here again next time we're in Punta del Este.
