We loved staying in these beachfront cabins. Emilio was very friendly and helpful at all times. We want to come back soon.

Casa Tranquila was a mixed bag for our family for four. We read many reviews before our stay so we were aware of what we were getting into. Pros: It's RIGHT on the beach. The location is incredible. It's a funky and rustic little cabin. You literally step off the back porch into the sand. The Bus Bar next door was adorable, and we loved Café Mediterráneo for breakfast and smoothies. Great for walking on the beach and exploring. It honestly felt a little bit like camping, which is something we love to do. Cons: Response times from the host very slow, and the house was not ready when we arrived. The kitchen had no pots/pans so it wasn't really usable. There was an AC unit on the upper level, but it was not functional. Coming from a colder climate, it was an uncomfortably hot night of sleep. We were not expecting a 5-star resort, but some small changes could make this place very special and enjoyable.

Excellent location, incredible view and safe. The kitchen utensils were dirty and the sheets had a lot of space. There was only one towel

TLDR: the place provides more of a glamping expereince than anything else. The location is amazing! Right on the beach and next to a few great bars and cafes. We couldn't have asked for a better local and vibe. That said it is VERY RUSTIC - more than the listing alludes to. There are many amazing ways to describe Fyfe's beach-side hut but clean is not one of them. A little bit of TLC, some fresh linens, pillows, and decent fans would go a long way. Overall it was a blast for a group of mid-twenties guys with the goal of surfing and hanging out on the beach. Additionally we only had running water and power every other day. This wasn't the hosts fault - it was a town-wide thing while we were there due to local construction - but this was never commuincated to us before or after booking and something we would have liked to know ahead of time. Outside of that communication was relatively quick and Emilio was a great resource.

This place was surreal! We had the most calmest and prettiest days here! Beach front and right next to our new favorite bar!! There are stray dogs and cats on the property that are super sweet and will come in the house lol! Over all the places we visited in nicaragua this place was our favorite!

The chalet is dreamy, practically on the beach. But the real gem is Emilio, a true fisherman, who also gave me the joy of going out with him and his friends on the boat to fish. An unforgettable experience.

A magical place to be in front of the ocean and you can walk to Popoyo Main... the wave is very good! Emilio helped us find a good contact to go by boat to other spots in the area. He welcomed us very well and was always very friendly and helpful. The little house is beautiful, there is a kitchen with several useful things and the wifi works very well. Thanks for everything.

Honestly, this spot has so much potential. It's rustic vibes, location, beach front, set up is phenomenal. If maybe a couple 1000$ was invested into this; it'd literally be perfect. The toilet is completed unaffixed to the floor, the linens all have burn marks in it, there were no linen or sleeping pillows on two of the beds and one bed didn't even even have a fitted sheet. Cockroaches don't bother me be I located one the size of a credit card. An infestation of Ants with zero traps set up or any attempt to prevent it. The ACs are there but don't work. I don't know why - that'd be an easy fix to help the experience. The fridge smelt like rotten fish. The fans that were there have NEVER been cleaned. Honestly, some regular maintenance and effort and this place is a dream. We left after our first of 3 nights and our friends refused to stay. At the price it's rented, it needs to be better. As BNB owners ourselves- we never ever complain but this one didn't make sense for the price.

The place is perfect if you are looking for a rustic cabin right on the beach. It’s a very typical experience, living so close to the fisherman and housekeeper Emilio’s family was the highlight! Our kids played together and we had access to the freshest fish. Emilio and his family are amazing people, helpful and open-hearted. I would come back just for them. About the staircase: I trusted my kids with the staircase but it’s more of a ladder, very steep. Also note that some of the pictures are outdated, the outside has changed, there is a cute bus bar next door which added to the atmosphere, music wasn’t loud at all and stopped at around 9pm. It’s very charming. The cabin itself has also changed a bit, some repairs on the roof make it look a bit patched up and ran down but to be fair I think it added to the charm, again it’s adorable and very rustic.
