Wonderful cottage, wonderful hosts

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.

Fabulous stay and Wonderful Hosts

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.

Absolutely perfect

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.

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.

Two weeks in paradise

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.

The Best!!

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!

A garden oasis

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!

Perfect retreat

We spent 11 days in this lovely casita, and hated to leave. It is nestled into the lush garden of a beautiful old home near the beach. The casita is beautifully designed, with covered terrace, sitting area, eat in kitchen, bedroom and bath.. It is beautifully constructed and very comfortably and tastefully appointed. There is a small pool too. The casita is just blocks from the beach, and an easy drive to shops and restaurants..Karen and Ken are gracious hosts, who showed us their favorite markets and hosted a parrilla in their beautiful outdoor barbeque area. They made our stay in Punta del esta feel so comfortable, that it was truly like being at home away. Highly recommend this little corner of heaven. We definitely hope to return@ .

Two Nights in Punta del Este

This private guest house is perfect! The owners are wonderful hosts and the property is beautiful. This felt like staying at a friend's house - with complete privacy and comfort. The stay was a perfect introduction to the area - allowing us to have a quiet retreat from the condos and apartment hustle and bustle of Punta. We used Uber perfectly to go into town when we wanted and came "home" when we wanted peace and quiet. Thank you for a perfect stay in Punta del Este.

Idyllic Cottage in Lovely Neighborhood near Ocean!

We returned home recently after a two-week stay at Villa St. Andrews with Karen and Ken. Their idyllic cottage was just the tonic for both my husband and myself! The cottage is a lovely blend of elegant touches with a colonial Spanish flavor. The interior is carefully appointed to provide everything you might need for lounging and relaxing. The kitchen has modern appliances, all the utensils and china you would ever need, and a comfortable dining area. The bedroom has a king-size bed and the bathroom has a cleverly designed open shower. It was amazing to learn that Ken (who was a contractor in his “former life”) built not only the cottage, but also the refreshing plunge pool. Ken carefully tends the pool and the phenomenal garden that graces the property. He and Karen have accumulated an astonishing number of vegetables, herbs, fruits and flowers to add color to your table and zest to your meals. Perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of our stay was getting to know Karen and Ken! They are both accomplished in their own right, well-read and engaging conversationalists. An added advantage is that they are quite knowledgeable about the area and, indeed, about Uruguay as a whole. We enjoyed taking in beach shops and restaurants in Jose Ignacio and sampling many of the fine dining establishments in Punta del Este. Several suggestions for the adventurous: Be sure to try Mia Bistro — an open-air restaurant on the beach a short walk from Villa St. Andrews. Do visit the new, young winery named Villa Eden. It is a bit of a drive, but plan on staying for a large, late lunch. Their chef is excellent. Every dish had subtle flavors to enjoy. And for you equestrians, there is a classical dressage instructor named Mauricio Delucchi who kindly and expertly helped reacquaint me to riding after a long absence from the saddle. His wife, Paulina Morales, manages their establishment, Haras Godiva. It is exceptionally well designed, including an indoor arena to ride on rainy or hot days. Mauricio is an aficionado of the baroque Lusitania horse, as am I. We had lots to talk about and a couple of much appreciated lessons. VRBO was a new experience for us, but we truly enjoyed it and would recommend it most highly!

A Lovely Stay!!

My husband and I have just returned from a wonderful 10 day stay at Viejo Golf. The whitewashed brick and terra cotta casita, lovingly built by the owners, Kenny and Karen, has been thoughtully equipped so that one can experience a "home away from home", during one's travels. The wood fired stove provided a delightful ambiance and kept us warm and comfy during the chilly July evenings in the Southern Hemispere and the king size bed was extremely comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped and enabled us to "dine at home" whenever we tired of going out for dinner. However, the best part of our stay was getting to know the hosts, Kenny and Karen. We had the good fortune of spending several evenings, chatting, imbibing and laughing with these two delightful souls. It was truly one of the best trips we've taken and definitely the loveliest hosts we've crossed paths with. You won't be disppointed if you decide to choose Viejo Golf.

Nice and quiet guest house. Well furnished with an amazing garden and pool. The owners are very friendly and respectfull. The guess house is well located. Close to the beach (10 minute walk), to the grocery store (3 km away) and golf course (5 minute walk). We had the priviledge to enjoy a great parilla in the garden. Nadie, the owners dog, is just great. We had the chance to go to the beach with her every morning; it was a lot of fun and very entertaining. We had initially reserved for a 6 day stay and extended our stay for 3 more nights as we enjoyed the peaceful environment.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Mannix

Host profile image
We feel fortunate to be able to live where we choose and happy to have chosen Uruguay as our home. For the past 6 years we have been renovating an historic property in a lovely, private and quiet neighborhood in Punta del Este. It has been a labor of love and quite the adventure.

Why they chose this property

We were enchanted with the neighborhood of beautiful homes with very large well cared for gardens. Bougainvillia, roses, fruit trees and pines and many birds singing abound. Being able to restore a 100 year old property with stone floors, french tile roof, thick brick walls and well established garden has been a dream come true.

What makes this property unique

We love being able to live in such a neighborhood and yet minutes away from everything we would want or need. Hearing the sound of horses going by, walking to a most beautiful beach, breathing the clean fresh air and great weather suits us perfectly.
