Cozy surf studio in Playa Gigante. pet friendly

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (2)
"We loved our stay so much here! Everything was clean and safe (and there’s even A/C!). Luis was helpful with everything we needed. The location is great- just a short walk to Playa Gigante and Playa Amarillo. We walked everyday to surf, eat, and swim. El Gigante is seriously a hidden gem in Nicaragua and so is this place. Definitely our favorite place we’ve stayed in Nicaragua!"

Enchanted Monkey House with Breathtaking Ocean Views

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (67)
"This property ticked off all of our boxes for a great vacation!! We were at this rental for one month and never tired of the great views. There were numerous birds during our stay, and one day we had around a dozen monkeys visit us and came feed in the trees which were very close to the casa. Were able to get a lot of good photos. Also enjoyed watching the divers snorkeling in Paradise Bay for lobster or sometimes they were fishing. There are great steps (100 or so) down to the shoreline below...

Spectacular Ocean Cliff 5BR Home & Beach in Gated Community

9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (37)
"The house was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 4 teenagers with beds to spare. Great view from the deck, and a very quiet neighborhood. El Gigante was a short drive and is the kind of non touristy village we were looking for. Loved it."

Impeccable Private Villa with Awe-Inspiring Views

9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (29)
"The listing is accurate, and the home is really quite nice. There was a little private dip pool at the house which was a nice surprise.The community of Pelican Eyes was once a great community -- and then the management went bankrupt, so parts of it feel abandoned (the restaurants are closed, paths are unpaved, etc.) That said, there seems to be new management investing back in the community such that in a year or two, I'd expect it to be back in action (they've already beautifully redone two...

The location was excellent as we were literally on the beach. Waking up in the morning to the Ocean view and hearing the waves at night, were AWESOME. I highly recommend this home. "

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (86)
"This is my second time staying at this beautiful home in San Juan del Sur. My family and I had a great time during our way too short 3 night stay. We loved hanging out by the pool, played table games, read books while relaxing on the hammock, cooked and made awesome memories. The Sea House had everything we needed to make delicious family meals. Marina and Eddy are always so kind and helpful. The house is close enough to town but far enough to enjoy the tranquility of the birds singing in the...

A few steps from a private beach, surf, luxury, daily housekeeping and jacuzzi

8.4 out of 10, Very good, (5)
"The roads leading to the property are dirt roads that during the winter months in Nicaragua are inpassable. That was not mentioned on the online listing, we had to cut our vacation short becuase the SUV's we rented couldn't make it to the property. The property owner wants to give us only 50% of what we payed, that is unacceptable. The owner hasn't reach out, doesn't care and didn't care the day we tried getting to the property. The owner just said, the "roads get really bad when it rains" she...

Private And Gated Beach Front Retreat (Sleeps 16) On Exclusive Playa Majagual!

9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (3)
"We loved our stay at Rancho Majagual!! I traveled with a large group, and we took over the whole property. The beach and surrounding areas were among the most beautiful I've ever been to. Very private and protected, but plenty of other beaches to explore nearby on foot. The property manager and concierge really understood our group's needs, and went out of their way to accommodate us. As is typical for the region, there were a few quirks with plumbing, etc, but that's to be expected. We loved it...
