Peaceful Hillside Villa with Stunning Views

MarkRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We loved our stay at Villa Paraiso del Sur. The sunsets are breathtaking and you can enjoy them while you cook from the open kitchen. The temperatures at night, with a breeze through the screen doors, was always comfortable for sleeping without the need for air conditioning. Our teenagers spent lots of time in the hammocks. The main house with two cabanas provided plenty of space for the six of us. Joel and Elisabeth are very friendly and helpful. The hosts are very responsive and offered tips and recommendations when requested. We would absolutely stay at Villa Paraiso again.

A private infinity pool is showcased with vibrant blue water, surrounded by lounge chairs. In the background, the villa features a thatched roof area, with steps leading up to it and lush greenery framing the scene under a bright blue sky.

This is the best beach house I've ever stayed in. The view is spectacular, the house is big and spacious, great for large groups and the price is extremely reasonable for the amount of people you can fit. Recommended 100% and I'll definitely be back here in the future.

San Juan del Sur Top-Floor RockStar Bayfront Condo

TracyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This a great spot right in the center of town! I was very comfortable there and the bidet was definitely a plus that most other places don’t have. Views were great, it was easy to work remote, and everything you need is walkable so no need for a taxi or rental. The five flights of stairs should be noted, same with the loud parties on the street, but the listing clearly calls these out and it was exactly what I was looking for. The staff was friendly and Eric was super responsive. 10/10 would book again 🫶

Beachfront 30m above - infinity pool - 180° views

JanRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

An absolutely fantastic Airbnb! The location right at the beach is unbeatable – the bay was one of the most beautiful we have ever seen. The pool was beautiful and perfect for relaxing. The bedroom is incredibly comfortable so you could sleep excellently. The deck was perfect for chilling and the sunsets really unbeatable! In the neighborhood are some very delicious restaurants! Dan as a host was super communicative, had great recommendations, and made the stay even more enjoyable. We would come back anytime!

Wicks Getaway - 2bdrm Townhome, Ocean Views & Pool

AlexRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This place was great! So much room for a family. Location is a little far from town, but an easy walk via beach with older kids. However, would be a long walk for young kids — not many restaurants in the area. Host was super responsive. WiFi was solid. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had everything you’d need. Hot water and Ac was enjoyable for our stay.

An expansive ocean view is captured from a pool deck, displaying the tranquil waters of the Pacific Ocean under a colorful sunset sky. Lush greenery frames the scene, while a small round table and white chairs rest on the patio, inviting relaxation.

Modern Day Castle, sleeps 8, wifi, pool, views!

KatherineRating, 5 stars15 months ago

Everything about this place was stunning. The view is incredible. The decor and layout is gorgeous. Place is very clean and there are plenty of towels. I particularly loved being able to see the statue of Christ while doing my dishes! Steep hill but our car made it up, and super close to town where all the action is. Host was flexible with our check in and out times.

Family beach house with pool, 1 min walk to beach!

4.67 out of 5 average rating, 21 reviews13 months ago

Everything about the place was perfect from my perspective – the location, the amenities, and especially Franco the caretaker. He was just fantastic and so accommodating. I really appreciated him letting me into the house early - I didn’t even ask and wasn’t expecting it and was just planning to spend the day on the beach. He was just a joy to work with. The beach, as others have noted, is barely 2 minute’s walk from the house and is pretty and uncrowded yet so convenient to San Juan del Sur. The restaurants are very good and the service is great and very friendly (a little pricey by Nica standards but still reasonable). I have been around Nicaragua plenty and disagree with the recent review suggesting that the property is not a good value. The impeccable pool alone justifies the price, the location is excellent, and the house is spacious, clean, comfortable and with well functioning AC. And, again, there’s Franco! The house may not be luxurious, but it did not disappoint.

Penthouse in the Sky w/Private rooftop Pool

5 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviews1 month ago

Ben's place in San Juan Del Sur exceeded our expectations! The views were absolutely breathtaking – we were lucky enough to enjoy both stunning sunrises and sunsets from our balcony or the rooftop pool. It was truly magical. The location was ideal; just a quick drive into town, giving us the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and easy access to restaurants and activities. Ben was an exceptional host, incredibly responsive, and his staff were equally helpful. We felt very well taken care of throughout our stay. As parents traveling with a 10-month-old, safety and comfort were paramount. We felt completely secure and at ease, which made our vacation truly relaxing. The beautiful pool was a fantastic bonus, perfect for cooling off and enjoying the stunning scenery. We highly recommend Ben's place for anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable stay in San Juan Del Sur. It's especially wonderful for families!

We had a great stay - the house was as described in a beautiful setting and the host was very responsive. There was an individual there everyday who was very helpful, kept the pool clean and was very helpful to sort taxis or answer questions. There was security in the evenings and we felt very well taken care of and secure. Would highly recommend !

Family-Friendly Villa, Private Pool & Concierge

I had a wonderful experience staying at Casa Cooper from the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. The check-in process was seamless, and Gabriel Zamora was incredibly communicative, providing clear instructions and responding quickly to any questions I had. The space itself was exactly as described; clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. It had all the amenities I needed, including a fully equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi, and comfortable beds. The private balconies and the kitchen ‘s stunning view was was breathtaking. The house wooden, charming vintage furniture, as well as its decorations really made the place feel special. I recommend this Airbnb to everyone.

Jan-Luc’s stay was wonderful. A very responsive and communicative host. My group of four had a great time. The stay is very walkable to town where everything is happening, but far enough away to feel separate when it’s time to rest. Great views from the rooftop and balcony. Would recommend!

Relaxing Apt in SJDS – A Short Walk to the Beach

4.76 out of 5 average rating, 131 reviews3 weeks ago

Thank you. The place is really nice. Too bad we arrived a little late and couldn't enjoy it more. We'll come back. The only thing we didn't like was the energy consumption because we were really very aware of the consumption and we even turned off the air in the living room and in 1 room and we still exceeded it. Which means it includes too little. They should rethink that point.

Luxury 5 bedroom estate, pool, near Playa Hermosa

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 39 reviews4 days ago

Honestly the pictures gave no justice to how beautiful it actually was!!! Loved the location. Being able to have the choice to go down to the different beaches at a short driving distance, or to just stay in enjoy the peacefulness of having Mother Nature all around us... wonderful choices. My daughter and I had not been back to Nicaragua in 18 years, and arriving in on Friday morning, and driving to Marcus' peaceful retreat is making us return within the next 6 months. We brought over family members that lived in Nicaragua, and they themselves felt in love with his property. Everyone that came just felt like we as a family were able to connect in a much stronger way than if we would have been right in the heart of all the commotion. Delia who is the lady that helps to keep up the property was extremely helpful, and always going out of her way to make sure we felt right at home. We will definitely come back, and just an FYI my first time using the app! 🤟Thanks, Rafael & Victoria

Central Located with Epic Views of San Juan Bay

4.8 out of 5 average rating, 5 reviews88 months ago

John's apartment was fantastic. Very modern and clean apartment and in a great location just down the road from the main street and beach. The views were amazing and there is a fan and air conditioning and hot water showers. The wifi did cut out a lot but worked enough for what we needed. Ramon, the property manager was also so accommodating. He delivered everything we needed and went above and beyond to track down and deliver crutches for me as I had an accident before coming to SJDS and could not walk. I could not recommend this apartment more and will definitely stay here again when I return to SJDS.

Casa Lakshmi, Luxury Villa w/private pool in town.

FrancisRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This property was perfect for our family. There are good restaurants within walking distance. Actually the whole town is within walking distance. A car is only needed if you want to go to some really nice local beaches about 15 / 20 minutes away. When there are several listings that appear very similar I focus on the description of the host. I saw many comments about how Mary Jane really gives extra effort to insuring her guests have a good experience. We found this to be the case as well. Because of Mary Jane’s tips we discovered our favorite beach and favorite restaurant.

An open-plan living area merges seamlessly with the outdoor space, featuring a spacious seating arrangement with blue cushions. A clear pool reflects surrounding greenery, while a staircase leads to the upper level. Warm wooden accents promote a relaxed atmosphere.

If you are looking for a private oceanfront accommodation, I recommend this place. It is quiet, spacious, and has a comfortable atmosphere. The ocean is within walking distance, and you can use the resort's facilities, such as restaurants! If you are looking for the most beautiful beach in Nicaragua, I recommend this place.

SoLunaLake House

MariaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Lesbia was wonderful to communicate with. Her gardens are lovely to walk around. We had local organic fruits and coffee served by Lesbia. The spot is idyllic in so many ways. The space of the cabin was large, patio to enjoy the evening reading in the hammocks, seating near the water for cocktails and sunset, kayaking and swimming. Dogs and horses came to to visit too. We will definitely return.

An open patio area features comfortable wooden seating arranged around a coffee table, overlooking the ocean. A spacious infinity pool glistens in the background, surrounded by greenery. Steps lead down to the beach from this shaded outdoor space, providing a serene coastal view.

Maderita Beach

JulianRating, 5 stars3 months ago

What a lovely beach escape! The design of the house is amazing with nautical inspired architectural features. The views from the back terrace are WOW - you get 180 degree view of beach, cliffs, surfers and beachgoers. Looking for amazing sunsets? This is the place. The infinity pool overlooking the beach is 10/10. The semi-private beach is spectacular and if you’re into surfing - there are breaks 100m (Maderitas) to the right and 1km to the left (Maderas). There are plenty of food/drink options at both beaches (you simply walk on the beach to get there). The bedrooms are excellent - everyone loved how cozy and cool the rooms were without needing to turn on the A/C (yes, there are split units in each bedroom). The house comes staffed (2 people) and they were excellent (green egg BBQ and cook!). The house and property were always kept clean and tidy. If it’s been rainy in the area, make sure your vehicle is 4x4. The definition of a perfect stay. Thank you, Leo!

A modern kitchen and living area are displayed, featuring a comfortable gray couch with colorful cushions. Yellow bar stools are positioned at the kitchen counter, which is complemented by wooden cabinetry and light fixtures. A green plant adds a touch of nature to the space.

Santa Cruz Loft 5

ChasenRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Loved our time here, perfect location. The hill is steep, we knew that going in to it and is a great way to get a workout in on vacation! We also rented a motorcycle and had no issues getting up the hill and feeling safe with it parked in the lot. The staff were very friendly and kept everything very clean. The view was incredible and being able to cool off in the pool was a huge bonus. Rosi was extremely professional and quick to answer any questions I had. The information binder in the house was very helpful with dining recommendations and local activities. Thank you! We look forward to coming back.
