We loved staying at Casa de Luz. Kristen was very easy to reach, and we were able to extend our stay by one day without any complications. The pool was wonderful and the rabbit is very cute. We will be happy to come back!

After 30+ AirBnB stays, hands down this was our favourite. An absolute oasis and even better in person. Conejo the bunny is so amazing, friendliest little guy, it was so fun to have around. The place is absokutely beautiful and Kristen which such a fantastic host. Without a doubt we would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The location was excellent, and the home itself was well maintained, charming, and very comfortable. The property manager was also very kind, responsive, and accommodating throughout our stay. The only suggestion I have is to make the listing more explicit about the steep concrete steps leading to the property. They were manageable for most of us, but they were quite challenging for my 74-year-old mother, and we were concerned about the possibility of her falling. Guests with mobility limitations or older family members would likely appreciate knowing this in advance. Other than that, we had a wonderful experience. The house bunny was such a delightful surprise and quickly became a favorite for everyone in our group. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
Host Response
Meyling, I’m sorry your mother had some difficulty with the steps, there were 2 photos of the exterior of the house that clearly shows the steps. So, maybe you just missed seeing those. But, I have taken your suggestion and included it in the description as well. Thank you again for choosing Casa de Luz and I’m glad you and your family enjoyed your stay!

This home was so so pretty!!! It was perfect for our large family. It was our 1st time in an Airbnb and Kristen made it so pleasant. She gave us tons of recommendations. I would recommend her beautiful home to anybody. With that being said, expect bugs and rodents as they are just part of Nicaraguan life. Oh and the pool was uber refreshing. There is a lady that comes to clean but she only came one time while we were there and it was the day before we left. The location was so perfect. This is not for someone with mobility issues because you have to be able to get into the home which is elevated.

It was our second time staying at Kristen’s place, and we absolutely love it there. The space is large, beautiful, and full of relaxing areas to unwind. The kitchen is especially wonderful — spacious, well-equipped, and perfect for cooking at home. The bunny is adorable and adds such a comforting, homey touch to the experience. Local street vendors came by every day selling the freshest organic produce, and it was only a short walk to the center of Granada. We truly cannot wait for our next stay.

Beautiful house, even more beautiful than in the pictures! It is tastefully decorated with a lot of originality. We absolutely loved spending time in this unique place with its two charming patios.

This was a beautiful stay and a lovely home. The bunny was as so friendly and it was a great pool that was a bit shaded after 2pm. The location was very walkable and Kristen was very responsive.

The location is incredibly nice and authentic, decorated by someone with creativity and taste. The pool is wonderful, and we found the décor very beautiful. Within walking distance, you will find the city’s main attractions, restaurants, banks, and supermarkets, and the islands are also within easy reach. A very good location.

This was the highlight of our three stays in Nicaragua. The layout and decor of the house was beautiful, the kitchen was beyond our expectations, the pool was perfect and clean. And most of all, the kids LOVED the bunny :) He was so friendly and sweet. Kristy & Yarelis were fantastic to work with, they were so quick to respond and very helpful in navigating parking, laundry, etc.

Casa de Luz was the perfect place to spend 10 days at the beginning of our month long trip to Nicaragua. So well equipped, stylishly furnished and aesthetically pleasing, we really enjoyed our stay. The kids (10 and 5) loved the pool, the rabbit and the mango tree! We appreciated the choice of places to sit, artful crockery and the quiet location. Kristy’s photos and info tell you all you need to know and Yarelis was brilliantly helpful as well as keeping the place spotless throughout our stay. We feel lucky to have been able to stay in this beautiful home. Thank you Kristy.
