About this property

At Viejo Fox you will enjoy stunning modern architecture, outstanding ocean views from the large roof terrace and balconies and a large infinity pool in the peaceful garden. It's just steps from an empty beach and situated in the heart of the natural Arenas de José Ignacio, an area surrounded by pine woods and Acacias with abundant bird and wildlife. Here you have the tranquillity and peace of an ocean retreat whilst being minutes away from José Ignacio with its restaurants and cafés.

Great design includes a glass wall in the living area with a wrap around balcony and many super comfortable sun loungers and outside sofas to relax and enjoy the sunsets and ocean views overlooking the famous José Ignacio lighthouse.

The spacious first-floor living room with its floor to ceiling windows has comfortable sofa's, large wood burner, TV and speakers. There is a fully equipped kitchen and two dining areas, one in the large living area and a second relaxed eating area on the outside terrace by the large Parilla and pool.

The master bedroom on the first floor has ocean views, a dressing area and a modern ensuite bathroom with bath. Two further bedrooms on the ground floor overlooking the garden can be either twin rooms or extra large double rooms. A fourth connecting room with a single bed can be used as a bedroom or a second lounge. Viejo Fox has a large garden with hammocks and peaceful secluded areas to relax and a fire pit for evening entertainment.

A couple of minutes walk from Viejo Fox is miles of wild ocean and empty beach. In summer the beach is great for sea fishing, horse riding, surfing or just resting and strolling along. In winter penguins and sea lions enjoy the beach. The views are breathtaking and extend from José Ignacio to Laguna Garzón. Near Viejo Fox are some of the best restaurants, the new beach restaurant by Francis Mallmann and tucked away in the woods Marismo and Namm are just minutes away.

Federica Henderson from Live Uruguay manages the property and will answer your questions and help you when you are staying at Viejo Fox. We can organise extra daily cleaning and help with any activities you would like to book.

Some comments from our guests last year “Our stay at Viejo Fox was fantastic. Photos don’t do justice to the beauty of this place. The wrap around balcony and terrace provide unbeatable views of the ocean and Jose Ignacio. Federica was very helpful in every single detail. We’ll be back”. Gustavo -Argentina /USA.

"The house was amazing. With a wonderful sea view and a pretty modern and architectural look. Highlight was the roof terrace and the barbeque". Niko and family, Germany.

***Important please note ***

We wanted to keep the peace and tranquillity of the house so we have not installed satellite TV. There is a DVD player and we have children and adult DVD's. Netflix is also available. There are some Bose wifi speakers. The cashpoint at the Ancap garage is a little unpredictable good to get cash at the airport or in Punta Del Este.

Such a beautiful home and wonderfull setting

Thanks you so much Sarah for letting us share your beautiful home. We had a wonderful stay and everything was just perfect. Our stay was the last leg of our South America trip before heading back to Switzerland and we couldn't of asked for such a peaceful and relaxing final resting post! The house is beautifully presented, modern, well equipped and the pool just adds that extra 'wow'. Frederica made us so welcome when we arrived and made time to explain how everything worked. The beach was 'to die for' and the beach walk to Jose Ignacio was breath-taking. We will hopefully return to Uruguay to visit friends and will have no hesitation in reserving your super home again. Thank you once again for providing us a unique experience - we loved it! Phillip (Zurich, Switzerland)

Excellent

After a week in Buenos Aires, Colonia and Montevideo, the week at VF was purely for relaxing. The house was perfect, the location great and the general easiness and friendliness of everyone we met was exactly what was required. Loved Garzon bridge and the fish man by the bridge.

Fantastic Home, Great For Peace And Quiet

This home is fantastic, and the pictures of the property are incredibly accurate. My family and I loved utilizing all at the outdoor spaces, including the pool, the parilla, the roof deck, and the various balconies. The kitchen is well equipped, the plates/glassware are adorable, the artwork is wonderful. The home was immaculate, the beds comfy, the bathrooms spacious, the water pressure great! You are close enough to Jose Ignacio that you can drive there in under 5 minutes, but far enough away that you do not hear the noise. We look forward to our next stay! Thanks, Sarah!

Amazing place and very comfortable house

We stayed for 1 week in carnival, and the nor house was very comfortable. We were 5 people and we had plenty of space. The decor is luy cute and everything is well taken care of. It is super equipped, like to spend a very comfortable stay. The place is very quiet for a great holiday. We will definitely return and the super recommend. It is worth going a few days of vacations to Viejo Fox. Federica was very nice assisting us and managing the rent and the owners were very considerate in all our requests.

perfect house for a magical vacation

We stayed at Viejo Fox for 9 nights in March. The trip was exquisite. The house was beautiful with 360 degrees of beautiful views, lots of places to relax and read and enjoy the scenery. The beach across from the house was one of the prettiest we experienced in the whole country. We felt lucky that it was outside our door. The family was wonderful to work with and gave us tons of suggestions about fun things to do. Can't wait to go back again! Thank you so much for sharing your slice of paradise.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Gibbins (Owner)

We are a family of five and live in Tunbridge Wells near London and have been visiting Uruguay and South America for the last 10 years. We were attracted to buying a home near José Ignacio because of the peace, tranquillity and beauty of its beaches and countryside, the friendliness of the Uruguayan people and the excellent climate. José Ignacio has many excellent restaurants and cafe's and is a great place to surf, ride, cycle and fish.

What makes this property unique

We love the location of Viejo Fox because it combines stunning ocean views with the peace and tranquillity of the pine woods and acacias of the Arenas de José Ignacio. This house has been designed to make the most of its location and from the roof top terrace there is a breathtaking 360 degree view over the ocean, José Ignacio and the Arenas de José Ignacio.
