4BR Villa in Pochomil

Excellent, 3 weeks ago

We stayed 2 nights with family at Mariella’s house and loved every bit of it. We had no trouble finding it. The road was in great shape and we had no trouble getting there with our van. Milena welcomed us when we got there and showed us the house. She was very helpful during our stay cleaning the floors and washing the dishes. She made a fried fish supper for us and they were the best! She also made breakfast for us one morning. The house was very clean with plenty of room for our group of 12. The pool is small but was perfect for our group of young children. They spent as much time in there as on the beach which is right in front of the house. We enjoyed spending time in the sand and in the water and watching the beautiful sunsets. The neighborhood is very quiet. The town of masachapa is a 5-10 min drive away and has the basics. We found some pulperías that had groceries and basic household items, some decent restaurants, and bought some fresh fish. Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Good service, nice house, just like in the photos

Gracias Alejandra por tus recomendaciones Ahorita estan construyendo una rotonda de la costanera para entrar a Pochomil Viejo, pronto tendremos calle pavimentada! Por el momento, vehiculos bajos tienen que ir despacio Recomendamos usar el camino alterno, que es el siguiente: Cuando van entrando a Masachapa en la calle sombreada de los arboles, y ven los tanques azules de agua a mano derecha, enfrente, o sea a mano izquierda de la carretera hay una calle de tierra que esta buena, siempre carros bajos tienen que ir despacio. Esa calle de tierra los lleva a la construccion de la costanera donde hay un desvio para entrar a nuestra zona del Madrono Ojala pronto terminen la construccion!

The property is old, you can tell it's not maintained. Old beds, old towels, old kitchen utensils, old bedding. It's a property that's not maintained. Poor presentation from the entrance The host is arrogant, demanding with the contract and extra charges outside of this app. i don't recommend this place.

Host Response

Hello Dania, I am really sorry to read your comment. I have always had great communication with my guests, as I did with your group. The extra charge that was made for your group was because you did not respect the maximum people allowed, you took 4 extra guests. I made an exception for your group, which I barely do, and as stated in Airbnb there is a charge for extra people. I have been a super host and haven’t had complaints about the issues you reported with the bedding’s and towels, we will definitely look into that and thanks for this recommendation.

Splendid hideaway beach house in Old Pochomil. Spacious and elegant house with a fantastic patio and wonderful view of the Pacific Ocean. A little hard to get to, but the effort pays off especially if you like privacy and seclusion. The majestic sunsets are worth the price of admission! Definitely recommend this property to families seeking relaxation in a beachfront setting. Oh! And big shout out to Marlon and his family for all the help and hospitality.

Great secluded beachfront home. The home was roomy and enough beds for 12 but we were only 6. The light when you enter the home from the rear yard was burnt out. The main room (dining room and living room) was spacious but the ceiling fan didn’t work, portable fans would be nice. The porch ceiling fan facing the pool wasn’t working nor the light. My biggest concern was the dirt road with bricks and rocks that punctured my rental’s tire. The road had 4 major muddy puddles that I thought would leave me stranded but since I was traveling to other cities during my stay daily, I only used the home for morning walks on the beach, horse back riding and a swim in the Pacific Ocean. It was a wonderful home and I don’t wanna be negative but I’m being honest for the next potential renter. RENT A TRUE 4x4 not a car, Van, or family SUV. Get a real 4x4. The dirt road is 2.3 miles long to the house and can’t go faster than 5 miles per hour especially if you have back issues.

Host Response

Thank you Nelson for your observations, we will take care of the fans and light right away It’s rainy season in Nicaragua and if it has been raining for more than 3 days In a row, a 4x4 is Recomended until November

My stay was just perfect. From the moment I arrived, Marlon and Milena made us feel at home with their kindness and attention. The place is spacious, impeccable and with an incredibly cozy vibe. The beach, in addition to being a few steps away, is beautiful and clean, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. I had the best birthday here, in a place that exceeded all of my expectations. Definitely a destination that I would love to go back to. Highly recommended. Don't miss the experience

The house is just as the images show, the people they care for are very friendly and helpful in everything you need from the place. The only thing I didn't like was the way to get to the house but everything was excellent from there.

Gracias por sus comentarios, nos alegra escuchar que nuestros colaboradores hicieron un buen trabajo. Lastimosamente en la época de lluvia algunas veces la carretera se pone un poco mala Esperamos que nos visite nuevamente

Mariella and her team (Kenia and Marlon) were amazing! Mariella was very accommodating with check in and check out for my multigenerational family! Kenia was very sweet and helpful. My flight was delayed but managed to cook an AMAZING pargo frito (fried red snapper). The house was very comfortable and clean. Great water flow in the showers (which can be hard to find in Nicaragua). My family and I had an amazing time and hope to stay here again!

I felt very uncomfortable by the fact that the owner wanted me to sign a contract for a one-day stay, and she insisted a lot about it. This has never happened to me in Airbnb . the contract was 3 pages long. Although the house is beautiful, there is no one place where all 12 guests can seat and eat as the light in the dinning table is non-existent, just some old cables haging. we ñaid 342 usd for one day, it seemed too much for the quality and all the trouble.

Host Response

Hello Heidi, I'm sorry you felt unconfortable about signing the agreement. That's a formality for my safety and that of our house and neighbors, since it is a list of the house rules and regulations and it is something I require of everyone renting my place even if it is for one night. Regarding the light in the dinning room, We had a problem with the fan that was there, but I did not realize that was the only light source of the place. I will get that fixed as soon as possible. Thanks for your comments. Remember that AIRBNB charges commision, that is not the actual cost of the house.

Mariella's house was better than what the pictures displayed! There were so many beds- it accommodated my party of 9 magnificently. The house was steps away from the beach which was beautiful and the backyard pool was small but sufficient. I rate my stay 4 out of 5 only because of the commute there. This isn't any fault of the host, but the roads leading up to the home aren't paved and it made our journey in our small/low car very difficult. It rained the day we were leaving and the roads were even worse. If you are renting a large car that is high off the ground then there should be no problem, but you will come across difficult terrain. Other than that, our stay was amazing. Kenia and Marlon were incredibly attentive. Thank you for everything!

Loved the place!! I took a trip to celebrate my birthday with my family after 10+ years ! I really loved this house, so beautiful, the sunset view is perfect! I have already other plans to return here before this year ends and the years to come. Amazing vacation home. Just what we needed. The pool is an amazing touch, after a nice day at the beach, great to chat with the family while refreshing and kid friendly as well. You have the option to rent ATVs, Horses, just beautiful over all!! Thank you for allowing us into your home !

Very peaceful location off the beaten path for our large family. Last few kilometers are dirt road. The whole house was very clean and bedrooms tastefully decorated. The rest of the house would be very much improved with some white paint, IMO. :) Air conditioned bedrooms was definitely a plus. Kitchen was smaller than I expected, but had everything we needed and functioned well. Kids spent hours in the small pool + ocean. Lots of seating and place to relax. Housekeeper + guard were friendly and helpful but left us alone. Would definitely recommend!!

I stayed with my family for 4 nights and we did not have want to leave! The house was beautiful, well taken care and we felt right at home. The beach was nearby and being able to make fire on the beach was so peaceful! Kenia was amazing! She was super attentive and made our stay even better. Mariella was a super attentive host and she was quick to help us if we had any problems. We will definitely return! Thank you Mariella, Kenia and Marlon for an unforgettably stay!

The house is very nice, it is spacious. The staff who take care of the house are super friendly and support you with whatever you need. The pool is a little small, it is ideal for children. I would definitely come back.

Beautiful Home on Secluded Beach! House exactly as described. Right on the beach, very nice backyard with pool steps to the sand. Very safe at night with the overnight watchman there and secure doors etc.. What made the stay extra special were the caretakers Kenia and her husband. Kenia helped us with the cooking and cleaning, made homemade tortillas, and was very helpful in getting us last-minute food items from a nearby store. I will definitely be back!

This is a beautiful house, plenty space and Kenia the helper was beyond what we expected. Everything you need is already there, just bring food and have fun! We definitely recommend this place and for sure we will be back for summer.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent option for large groups! The house is well equipped, with a beautiful view of the beach, and always impeccable and clean. We loved Kenya's service (lady who helps with cleaning/cooking during the stay). They made us a beautiful fire pit on the beach in front of the house. Communication with the host was very smooth and I received very quick responses. Totally recommended and I'll make sure to return soon!
