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!

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.

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!

Perfect in every way...

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.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Mannix

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.
