Casa Lakshmi, Luxury Villa w/private pool in town - Villas for Rent in San Juan del Sur, Rivas, Nicaragua

Mary Jane is a amazing host that goes above and beyond to make sure you feel at home and welcomed. Her home is beautiful and makes you feel at home safe and sound. Located right in the center of San Juan Del Sur no car is need to get around town and enjoy San Juan. Everything is within walking distance. Mary Jane recommended amazing resturants for Breakfast,Lunch, and Dinner. When I return to San Juan Del Sur I would definitely Stay with Mary Jane. 5 Stars for sure.

We had an amazing stay in San Juan del Sur! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. Our host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, and her restaurant recommendation was absolutely A1, one of the highlights of our trip! The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The pool was clean and the space was perfect!! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to our friends and family. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Mary Jane very kind person Great hospitality The staying was Perfect

Best place and host ever! Very kind and responsive host

amazing house.  very comfortable.  perfect location in town.  awesome hosts! we'll be back!

This might have been my favorite AirBnB experience ever! Mary Jane goes above and beyond to take care of you. You're not just staying at Mary Jane's place, you are getting someone who will take care of all your needs. She will organize taxis for you to/from the airport or anywhere in Nicaragua. She gives local recommendations for anything to do in SJDS. The place itself is amazing. The pool was the best part, we used it everyday in the hot weather. It is a very spacious house, with A/C in every room, so it was easy to sleep at night. There are 3 dogs on the property as well that are super friendly :) The location of Casa Lakshmi is ideal as well. You are right in the middle of everything. Perhaps the only thing I would share is if you are trying to work remotely and take any video meetings, the Wifi was a tad slow, and sometimes it was hard to take a Zoom call. But it was a very minor inconvenience, and that should not stop you from staying here. 6 out of 5 stars! Book now!

SJDS is beautiful.  Maryjane’s Airbnb is lovely.  She’s a very respectful responsive host.

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.

Our host, and the owner of the property, was simply outstanding. Maryjane was incredibly helpful, responsive and there when we needed assistance. The property is location in town where it’s super convenient and walkable, and just on the edge of town so it’s away from the noise of busy bars and entertainment. The place is nicer than the photos and I highly recommend it to anyone!!!

great location, everything close, I recommend it 100%, Mary Jane a charm of a super attentive person in everything

excelente ubicación todo cerca, lo recomiendo 100%, Mary Jane un encanto de persona super atenta en todo

The property itself is beautiful and secluded enough to get away from the noise of the town, but also close enough to easliy walk to wherever you need to go in town. The pool was perfect for us and the patio is a great place to hang out. The three dogs on the property were very charming (my sons favorite feature of this place) and also provide an additional layer of safety. Mary Jane is a friendly, extremely communacative and helpful host. The whole experience was lovely, and if we return to SJDS we will stay here again.

Casa Lakshmi very cozy , my family and I felt right at home, thank you Mary Jane for being so helpful. Super recommended.

Casa Lakshmi muy acogedora , mi familia y yo nos sentimos como en nuestra propia casa, gracias Mary Jane por ser tan servicial. Súper recomendada.

Casa Lakshmi was an amazing place to stay. It is in a great location with virtually everything in San Juan Del Sur within walking distance, the pool is amazing, and the house is great. Mary Jane was very nice and friendly and had plenty of recommendations. The only issue we had was that the parking is a little tight. Mary Jane's husband was very nice and came out and helped guide us out, after a couple times of doing it we were able to get the hang of it on our own. All in all it was an amazing house and we had a wonderful time. I highly recommend it and we plan on coming back again.

Mary Jane was the best hostess.  she was extremely responsive, friendly and helpful.  casa Lakshmi is centrally located to everything in San Juan del sur and walkable in a few minutes to the town beach. we did not rent a car and got around to local beautiful beaches easily in taxis.  the pool is fabulous, deep, and clean.  simple and totally adequate living space and very comfortable beds. must love dogs though, as there are a several friendly pups on the property.  this is a safe and lovely place for a family to stay in a safe and lovely town!

Mary Jane’s house was perfect. We adored the location as we could walk everywhere and always felt safe. The house was very spacious and extremely clean. The pool was used every day and we enjoyed how it was in the sun all day. Mary Jane is more than a super host. She checked in on us every day, she helped with booking our day trips, our shuttle from Liberia, our restaurants and so much more. She was so attentive to every details and she is the one who made our trip in SJDS extra special. Our family of four would highly recommend renting this house. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you again for EVERYTHING Mary Jane.

Do not hesitate to book! Mary Jane is a FANTASTIC host and overall person! She's so kind and responsive and made our stay that much more enjoyable. The house itself is really nice - the pictures do not do it justice. Location was great and we felt very safe (there was a key to enter the property and then another key to enter the house). Would highly recommend!

This place is a great Oasis in San Juan. Close walk to the beach, cafes, markets and restaurants. Mary Jane was very welcoming, responsive and helpful in terms of things to do in the area! The pool was so nice to have. Great stay!!

1000/10, clean house with many utilities in the kitchen to use, location near restaurants,  shops.  Safe and family location, quiet for a good vacation.  House with kitchen, comfortable rooms and bathrooms, large. A well-kept house made with many details and love.

1000/10, casa limpia con muchas utilidades en la cocina para usar, ubicación cerca de restaurantes,  tiendas.  Ubicación segura y familiar, tranquilo para unas buenas vacaciones.  Casa con cocina, habitaciones y baños cómodos, grandes. Una casa bien cuidada y hecha con muchos detalles y amor.

Many thanks, Kevin. It was a real pleasure meeting you and your friends. You were wonderful guests, extremely respectful, and very kind. Please come back and visit us soon. Warm regards Mary Jane

Mary Jane was an absolutely wonderful host. She’s very kind and checked in with us throughout our trip. She made wonderful recommendations from eateries to day trips and offered us much help from stocking our fridge to laundry services. Her home was very clean, the airflow was wonderful and the pool was an awesome benefit after long days in the hot Nicaraguan sun. We had an amazing time in SJDS and are very grateful to have met such a wonderful host, we cannot wait to go back to Casa Lakshmi!!

Beautiful property, private, well-maintained. Truly can’t beat this location - can’t emphasize that enough! We stayed at Mary Jane’s for 7 nights and rented a car so we could go surfing (20-25min drive to the surf beaches). It was amazing to have parking plus a pool plus be able to walk everywhere in town. We loved SJDS. The town is such a fun community. You’re in the tropics, so there’s the occasional gecko. Our main concern was mosquitos but bug spray worked like a charm anytime we were outside when the sun went down. We never ended up having any mosquitos inside - screens on the windows worked great! (Even if we had seen a mosquito inside, there were two bug zapper rackets in the house so we would’ve been perfectly prepared.) We’re already planning another trip to SJDS next year and we’ll definitely be staying at Mary Jane’s again. Mary Jane is a great communicator and kindly made sure that we had everything we needed during our stay. Thanks so much for having us, Mary Jane!!

Where do I even start.  Our trip had a rough start with a sick baby and Mary made every problem we had her problem.  She was there every step of the way with anything and everything we needed.  Arranging for doctors, organizing taxis, tours.  She helped with setting up house cleaning and someone to cook.   She offered to run loads of laundry for us when we weren't able.  The house could not be in a more perfect location.  We walked to everything, didn't need a car rental.  We would walk to get our groceries, and food every day without any issues.  I felt safe walking by myself every where as a female.  We brought our 6 year old and 10 month old baby and we didn't have any issues with location or amenities.  The few suggestions I had were perhaps to install air conditioning in the central areas as it was difficult to be in the air conditioned bedroom with kids due to their being cooped up.  We would have liked more dishware in the kitchen including large pots and pans as we were there for a long term stay and cooked meals for a large family.  Lastly, we had a difficult time with the lack of bright lights in the common area and kitchen.  It was difficult to sit and read.  But, very minor suggestions.  Overall a fantastic stay with an absolute superb host who felt like family.  We loved when Mary came over to chat with us and her husband was a joy as well.

As I’m also a Super Host ... one of the best things to read in a review are; The place is even better then the pictures!! Even though the pictures and previous reviews were all good, it exceed our expectations and we were really very happy we chose this place! It’s absolutely a must stay place! Mary Jane made sure we were welcomed into her home and also into the community that she so obviously loves! Don’t hesitate to book this place.....it location is private, safe, friendly, well appointed and has the added benefit of a great kitchen and some very lovable pets!!!

Overall great stay! My boyfriend and I have been living in Nicaragua for about 6 months and had some friends come visit us from Canada.  We only spent 2 nights here but it was the perfect location in SJDS.  Close enough to everything when we wanted to party, and enough privacy when we wanted to relax.  MaryJane was very kind and always around if we needed her.  The house is very spacious and has a great vibe.  Our only minimal complaint would be that the neighbour dogs bark quite a bit at night and in the morning, but that's out of MaryJane's control. Thanks for having us! :)

The perfect family retreat! Casa Lakshmi is quiet and peaceful place, with all of the luxury of a modern house, and right in the centre of town. The house is fully equipped, beautifully arranged, and awefully confortable for everyone. Mary Jane is a tremendous host. She made sure we had everything we needed, and was always available whenever we had a question. She made us feel at home. Will definitely be coming back again!

Mary's place is amazing, large swimming pool, huge living area, massive bedrooms all with a bathroom, definitely no problem for 3 couples to stay! Everything is clean, tidy and provided with the house being decorated so it feels like you are home.  Mary is very knowledgeable of the area and responds quickly to any questions or queries.  Highly recommend staying at Casa Colibri!

We had an amazing stay in this beautiful home. Everything was clean, organized and easy to access. We loved the bungalow style of the home and spending some time by the pool. We felt very comfortable, safe and happy in this home. If we return, we will search for this location again!

Very good location within walking distance of the beach and city center. House has 3 bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms.

Zeer goede locatie op loop afstand van het strand en centrum. Huis heeft 3 slaapkamers met allemaal een eigen badkamer.

one of the best vacations. I felt right at home. Without hesitation, I plan to return . Mary Jane's attention is unparalleled. Accessible at all times. The house exceeds expectations. It is a quiet atmosphere within the city. The privacy that the property gives you is excellent.

una de las mejores vacaciones. Me sentí como en casa. sin dudar pienso en regresar . la atención de Mary Jane es inigualable. accesible en todo momento. la casa supera las expectativas. es una ambiente tranquilo dentro de la cuidad. la privacidad que te brinda la propiedad es excelente.

This was a wonderful stay. Everything was better than we expected. The location is perfect, tucked away from the rest of the busy town, but steps from all the restaurants and the beach. The house is extremely spacious with pleasant decoration. The best part, Mary Jane  is a very pleasant person. From day one, we were feeling more like old friends. Thank you for a great stay!

An excellent hostess with a beautiful house with ideal location to move to the town and the nearby beaches. The house is very comfortable and clean. You have different spaces to enjoy during the day and night. Mary Jane gave us excellent recommendations to enjoy our stay. We hope to return very soon!

The location, service, amenities, hospitality, and house was top notch at Casa Lakshmi. I stayed with a group of 6 friends and we all fit more than comfortably in the spacious home. Gorgeous three bedrooms surrounding a serene private pool with a fully functional kitchen (and at the same price as other houses that aren’t as nice and are further from town!!) Only a short walk to all the major spots in SJDS and extremely secure with the measures Mary Jane takes to ensure her visitors enjoy Nicaragua safely! Her staff is trustworthy, attentive, and responds to communication in just minutes. Close to all transportation and so many beaches as well, the christo is just a short 15 minute ride even though it’s on the other side of the coast. Her family/staff is gracious and helped us non Spanish speaking visitors every step of the way. It’s difficult to describe how vital this house was to our trip because the trip itself was a life changing experience i will cherish forever, it all started and ended at Casa Lakshmi though and for that i am forever grateful. If you are visiting with your friends, family, or looking to refresh your battery alone. I highly recommend staying here and you will be blown away by your experience/memories!

Great space & location! Mary Jane was very helpful. San Juan Del Sur is a cool destination. It was everything & more than expected!

Absolutely wonderful! Everything you need and perfect location. Great host and staff.

Casa Lakshmi was better than advertised! It truly is a nice, quiet space tucked away in the center of San Juan. Mary Jane was a fantastic host, providing us with suggestions on things to do and places to eat. I highly recommend Casa Lakshmi and will definitely try to stay there again the next time I make it to San Juan.

Wonderful place ! We will be back for sure with more family members. Mary Jane has side by side houses which would be great for bigger groups. Walking distance to everything but nice and quiet too.  See you next year!

Beautiful home, perfect location right in town yet tucked away with a private gate and security. It’s very safe/secure and feels like you have your own little space. It’s about 3 blocks from the beach but right in town so there’s tons of restaurants and shops as soon as you leave the property. Mary Jane and her staff are wonderful! Very welcoming with lots of great recommendations. The house was very clean and comfortable. Will definitely be staying here again!

Wow! If there was a way to give a place more than 5 stars we would do that! We read all of the 5-star reviews so we had high hopes, and they were exceeded. I don't think this combination of location and amenities can be beat in SJDS. The house was beautifully appointed, and everything in perfect condition. The swimming pool is very well maintained and the perfect temperature for a dip at any time of day or evening. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom, as well as air conditioning which is great for a hot/humid Nicaraguan night. The kitchen is great and we made dinner there one of the evenings during our stay. It was very easy to settle into Casa Lakshmi as our home away from home. And, the house is truly within easy walking distance of everything in downtown SJDS. Most of all, Mary Jane is an amazing host who provides the perfect balance of being available whenever you need her and otherwise letting you enjoy your vacation. It's clear she takes great pride in providing superior accommodations to her guests and the results really show. Casa Lakshmi and Mary Jane will definitely be our home base in SJDS going forward!

it was wonderful to stay at Mary Janes' house! It was beautiful, clean and a great location. Mary Jane is  a perfect host, the communication was great and she was so sweet! it was lovely to meet her and her family! If i can i will come back!

Had a fantastic stay out Mary Jane's house. Lots of new places are being built around San Juan del Sur and will require a cab ride or a walk to get into town. This house is right in the middle of town and an easy walk to everything. House is clean and very nicely decorated. Rooms are great and everyone has their own bathroom which is a huge plus w/ a group. Pool is perfect, there is a 24 hour guard which made us feel safe at all times. Mary Jane is easy to contact and extremely helpful w/ info about the town. Would totally stay again!

Mary Jane's place in San Juan Del Sur is great. It is secure and spacious and only a couple of blocks from the beach. It is easy walk to all the restaurants in the area. Mary Jane was very welcoming and gave us great resuarant tips and general information and was very helpful. The place has a great layout and the pools is fantastic. We were 2 mums with 2 kids each so it was just superb. I highly recommend Mary Jane's place we had a great stay!

Mary Jane is a great host. She is very accommodating and friendly. Casa Lakshmi was wonderful. It was very accessible for my 88-year old mother in law, and also a fun place to relax and enjoy.

having such a spacious and comfortable home with pool in the center is rare and really very pleasant. Mary Jane and staff are very attentive. We will certainly return.

avoir une maison aussi spacieuse et confortable avec piscine dans le centre est rare et vraiment très agréable. Mary Jane et le personnel sont très attentifs. Nous y retournerons certainement.

Casa Lakshmi was among our best Airbnb experiences. Having visited San Juan del Sur for 35 years, I am sure that the location is one of the best, very private yet amazingly close to everything. There you are in a very comfortable, well-designed house, with great privacy, yet you can walk out and be at a restaurant or craft beer place by walking two blocks, and at the beach in four blocks. The house is very comfortable, from great beds to a/c and showers in every room, and an additional bathroom for visitors. The design of Casa Lakshmi is great, with an open kitchen, next to the dining table, next to the living room, all next to the pool, so all guests can mingle quite a bit. The cleaning, ground, and security persons were very friendly and helpful, but never a bother. A bonus is the parrot at the front house, not to mention Ebony, the house dog. The ad is right--you don't need a car, not much anyway--maybe to go to the super, or the Christ statue, or down the coast, but not for hanging out in SJDS. Our congratulations and thanks to Mary Jane and her staff.

This was one of the most comfortable places I have ever stayed at.  This is a beautiful home centrally located with lots of privacy. The fact that it's in town does not take away from the quiet and relaxing space Mary J and her staff have been able to create. Perfect for families with Children or just friends looking for a place to relax and enjoy San Juan.  The pool was so nice at the end of each day after exploring the area. I love this place and will be coming back soon!! 

Casa Lakshmi was everything we expected and then some. It really was the best decision we made on this trip. Mary Jane was very responsive and addressed all of our requests with a real sense of urgency and courtesy. Next time we're in SJDS, this is where we're staying. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Thanks for a wonderful time, Casa Lakshmi. Hasta la proxima! Urania

Casa Lakshimi exceeded our expectations. Mary Jane was an excellent host, very responsive & she had an attentive friendly staff. The property was awesomely located within walking distance to everything in SJDS. 

Thank you Thomas for staying with us  come back and visit us soon. All the best. Warm regards Mary Jane x  .

The house is very nice, clean, well maintained. The owners were always available to answer questions and they have very nice people around to help out with anything. Bedrooms, bathrooms and beds very comfortable. Overall the house is great, very enjoyable. Only down sides were restrictions on using the AC during the day when it was incredibly hot (we visited end of april) and it's important to know there are frequent black outs in San Juan.

Great place and service, the owners are nice person, I love that place.

It's an excellent place, and with very good service. 

Es un excelente lugar, y con muy buena atención. 

We absolutely loved our stay in San Juan Del Sur.  The home was minutes to the beach, close to all the restaurants and had everything we needed. Our kids played for hours in the pool and we felt very secure and safe on the property.  Despite being so close to town the property is relatively quite and you don't feel like you are in the city.  Mary Jane was very helpful and the staff were courteous and attentive.  I would definitely recommend this property to my friends and family!  

If you are going to San Juan Del Sur (and I suggest you do!), you should stay here.  We hadn't been to town before and didn't know what to expect.  This house exceeded our expectations.  First off the location is terrific.  About 3 blocks straight up from the beach, right in the centre of town.  Even better is that it is situated on a quiet street, and is one house back from the gate so it feels completely private and like an oasis.  Close by is everything you'll need, bars, restaurants, shops, even the best donuts is SJDS!  The house itself is a great set up.  Wrapped around a pool with a large open living area, it is hard to motivated yourself to actually leave!  Each bedroom has an en suite and the there is even a 4th bathroom.  The hosts were incredible responsive and helpful.  I was here with my girlfriend and we obviously had loads of space, but the house will easily accommodate 6.  I highly recommend it.

Absolutely loved Mary Jane's place and we all had a fabulous time.  We never wanted to leave!

Mary Jane was absolutely amazing. This house is beautiful and very close to restaurants, the beach and night life! We felt very welcomed here and it is very safe. Mary Jane was so thoughtful, she was able to accommodate us arriving a tad earlier than expected and helped us schedule transportation from San Juan to Leon. This house has everything you need. It was very peaceful and felt secluded but an easy 5 minute walk to the beach and lively night life. I definitely plan on coming back!! I highly recommend if you want a wonderful place to stay during your time in San Juan! 

Mary-Jane was a fantastic host for our group! Her house is in a great location (still in town, but in a quieter part where everything is still walkable). The space also exceeded our expectations - the decor is well-done, and there is a huge amount of space for everyone to hang out in the common areas. Her staff (poolboy and maid) are also very friendly! Mary-Jane is also very communicative and will check in with you throughout your stay to make sure everything is going well. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much! Would highly recommend. 

The house is even nicer than seen on the pictures and amazingly clean. It is central in SJDJ, but still quiet. Mary Jane and her husband are great hosts and their staff very friendly. We wish we could have stayed longer and would recommend this place to all our friends and family!

Very beautiful house with wonderful central location. 

Incredible place highly recommend it. Near to pretty much everything on the town. 

Casa Lakshmi was so lovely, do not hesitate to book it! Our group of 5 traveled to San Juan to attend a wedding and we all really loved the modern and clean style of the house and the tasteful furnishings. The kitchen was well equipped and included purified water and made the stay very comfortable. Most of all we loved the private pool and that the house was set back behind another and away from any street noise; it felt very private. The kitchen and living room area is able to opened up to the outdoors as well and made for a nice flow of the house with plenty of bathrooms. There is air conditioning only to be used at night but we found with the windows open and strong ceiling fans we barely used it. The location to the restaurants and nightlife was great, just a short 5 minute walk away. Each morning I went out for a latte and a walk down to the beach but I enjoyed returning to the tranquility of Casa Lakshmi. In the end I wish we had had a longer time to stay as I'm sure you will too if you decide to book here.

Mary Jane offers a private and peaceful oasis just minutes from the heart of San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua.  The house and grounds are beautiful, extremely well kept and comfortable.  Mary Jane is very responsive and helpful with any questions or needs.  Highly recommend!

This house is fabulous. Easy to walk anywhere in town but private and relaxing. The pool offers a great way to cool off after a hot day. Bedrooms and bathrooms comfy. Living area spacious and open.  Loved it here and look forward to coming back again.

Mary Jane's place is the best! The house is lovely, it is extremely clean and comfortable, the location is great to get around San Juan del Sur, I would recommend this house to anyone interested in going to Nicaragua. MaryJane and her husband are both great hosts and helped us with everything we needed during our stay

We LOVED our stay at Casa Lakshmi! It is so beautiful, the pictures do not do it justice. Mary Jane was a great host- very helpful and responsive and even told us places to go while we were there. The neighborhood is great, close to everything- even the beach! The place is very safe and the guards and house keepers were very friendly. If we visit SJDS again we will definitely be staying here! Highly recommend Casa Lakshmi. 

I can not say enough good things about this rental experience!  The photos do not do this beautiful home justice.  The owner's assistance and communication with us made our experience easy and relaxing.  The house is immaculate. Furnished perfectly. Great pool. Location is within walking distance of everything.  24 hour security.  We will definitely be back again!  Thank you for a wonderful stay experience!

Casa Lakshmi, more than just a house is a home that is enjoyed from the moment you enter. It is ideal for friends, families who decide to travel to San Juan and get more benefits and amenities as it is available 100% of a house, within the living area of San Juan. We enjoyed our stay in the house and the attention.

Casa Lakshmi, mas que una simple casa es un hogar que se disfruta desde el momento que uno ingresa. Es ideal para amigos, familias que decidan viajar a San Juan y obtener mas beneficios y comodidades ya que se dispone a un 100% de una casa, dentro de la zona viva de San Juan. Disfrutamos nuestra permanecía en la casa y las atenciones.

Beautiful house, more than in the pictures. Great and helpful host. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much.

Fantastic house, solid location, quiet atmosphere, walkable to all the places you'd want to go in-town! Would definitely stay again. 

Our experience in San Juan Del Sur could not have been better !! Mary Jane is exceptional , arriving made ​​a house tur explaining every detail and giving us the best tips of the activities we could do on the beaches and good restaurants and bars. The house is much more beautiful in reality than in the photos and is in the best location literally a block from Iguana Bar is the best bar of San Juan . The whole house is furnished from towels to the kitchen, there nothing is missing. All air-conditioned rooms work great  and in consideration of Mary Jane we only used at night because energy is expensive in that area. Definitely we'll be back to the same place with our friend Mary Jane who was spectacular with us. The best option to be close to everything but away from the noise and enjoy the tranquility of the nice pool and nature.

Fantastic, all-around!  Casa Lakshmi is exactly as described and absolutely beautiful.  You could not ask for a better location; the property is situated right in the heart of everything, yet tucked away from the street for total privacy.  The daily cleaning service was great, and we especially appreciated the fresh drinking water provided for us in the kitchen.  Mary Jane is lovely, and was incredibly accommodating and responsive to us throughout our stay.  Highly recommended!    

Great house in the perfect location. Lots of space, clean and has all the essential items. Very friendly and helpful staff. Pool is ideal for relaxing and cooling off. Mary Jane was always quick to respond to any questions and provided some great recommendations. We highly recommend this place for your time in San Juan Del Sur. 

If you read only one line it would be this: Spectacular! Wonderful! Amazing!   I highly recommend Casa Lakshmi for your stay in San Juan del Sur.   There are not enough words to describe our stay at Casa Lakshmi and our host, Mary Jane. The beauty of SJDS was so very well complimented by the graciousness of our hostess. We felt welcomed, secure, and happy throughout our stay. The house is gorgeously decorated and cozy. All beds were comfortable and plenty of fans and A/C to help with those hot and humid SJDS nights. The pool was perfect size for swim fun with the kids and we loved having daily (nightly) soaks.   Plenty of room for my wife and I, our 2 kids, and our couple friends and each bedroom is well-accomodated, spacious, and comfortable.   Mary Jane's staff was warm and friendly and made us feel at home. Thank you Laura, Ricardo, and Francisco.   Mary Jane knows SJDS through and through and provided great insights into the local scene for food, fun, and area travel. I highly recommend a day trip to Playa Hermosa -- it's worth the $3 entry fee. Both Playa Coco and Majagual are a little further out of town but well worth the drive -- thanks for the recommendations!   The local food scene is great from SJDS Cerveceria to El Timon to King Curry, but we also enjoyed a visit to Pali to get groceries and utilize the open and spacious kitchen to cook some meals and spend more time at home-base. Great appliances, cookware, plates, utensils- everything you need!   The house is perfectly nestled at the north end of town and tucked away to avoid the traffic and local ambient noise. Zero noise pollution and slept soundly every night. You are still walking distance to the entirety of SJDS right from the gate. We hit every inch of the city. Truly a perfect home base.   We will be back!!!

Casa Lakshmi is a beautiful place to stay, it has all the things you need for a relaxing get away or as a base to enjoy the local area. Mary Jane was a fantastic host, she was very accommodating to our needs, she was on hand when required to give advice and help out with planning our holiday but was not overbearing and allowed us to relax in private. She was kind enough to show us some good quality bars and offered to help us organise day-trips to the beaches and made recommendations for the remaining days travelling in Nicaragua (this was a massive help)!  The villa itself is finished to a very high quality and standard, the bedding was comfortable and the bathrooms and kitchens well appointed, the outside area and pool were just perfect! The staff were a dream, unobtrusive but exceedingly helpful and friendly. The place was spotless and had we felt very safe.  All in all the time we spent at Lakshmi was great, the villa is fantastic and Mary Jane was an amazing host!

Mary Jane was very helpful with recommendations around town and instantly responded if we had a request or concern. The house is in the perfect location downtown (5 min walk to beach)  and felt very secure. The interior furnishings also were very warm and fitting. Bed was very comfortable. We weren't lacking for anything during our stay! Doughnut shop down the street was very good as well. :)

Mary Jane was a great host and her location was perfect in San Juan del Sur. Everything was clean and all the amenities were included (wifi, warm water showers, soap, and an amazing swimming pool). The location is 2-5 minute walk to anything you need. She has a beautiful house and she greatest us and checked in several times to make sure we were ok. Thank you!!!

Casa Lakshmi was absolutely lovely. When we arrived, we were met by the lovely Laura who explained everything and gave us the keys and Francisco was very helpful always aware of our reach and out of the house. Mary Jane made us feel welcome and are at home . The house is incredibly comfortable , and the pool was spectacular Without a doubt, Casa Lakshmi will be our choice for a return visit to San Juan del Sur.

We had the most fabulous time staying here. Our host Mary Jane is so sweet and helpful. Even before we made it to the house she helped arrange car service. The house is beautiful clean and in a perfect location. If your gonna be in San Juan Del Sur this is where you want to stay. 

I stayed at the house with my husband and brother and we had a great experience. The house is very nice and clean. It is spacious and great for spending time in during the day. The pool was magnificent, especially given how hot it was in San Juan everyday. We also slept very comfortably as the air conditioners worked really well. Every bedroom has a private bathroom, which was also a nice touch. Overall, I thought the house was perfect and even better in person than in the photos. The best part was the convenient location. It's right in town, walking distance from everything. And only a block away from our favorite brewery! Mary Jane and her husband were a dream. Very friendly and attentive. Her husband was staying at the house next door and was available when we needed him. Laura, the housekeeper, and the guard were very helpful as well. We felt very safe and taken care of. We go to Nicaragua annually and we will absolutely be back to this house.

This place was paradise, pure and simple. The photos don't do it justice, it's even nicer than it looks. The 24 hour security guard and house staff are so lovely and helpful. San Juan itself is a great town, with tons to do and see. Easy to get to all the beaches to surf, or adventure of any sort. More good food than you can possibly eat. And Mary Jane is so sweet and helpful, all the time. It was fantastic. 

The  place was  great.  We had a great time and enjoyed our time in San Juan Del Sur and the house.

Casa Lakshmi was absolutely lovely.  The pictures provided are accurate.  It was clean, well furnished with many custom pieces created by the owner, Mary Jane and her husband.  With its private pool (that was extremely well kept), it was a wonderful private place to hang out and relax.  About 4 blocks (+/-) from the beach, all of the restaurants and shops that San Juan del Sur has to offer were within easy walking distance.  Mary Jane was a wonderful host ready to answer any questions and made sure we were having a great time.  She was readily available and kept in touch during our stay.  With daily housekeeping by Laura and all night security, it is an ideal location and house to spend your visit in San Juan del Sur.  Without a doubt, Casa Lakshmi will be our choice for a return visit to San Juan del Sur.

The only word to describe our trip to Casa Lakshmi is BLISS. From start to finish we were completely taken care of and could not have found a better home with a better location. Mary Jane emailed me answering every question I had (and I had a lot!) and she was very helpful with recommendations and arranging airport shuttles.   When we arrived, we were met by the lovely Laura who explained everything and gave us the keys. She would come daily to clean the house and was very conscious to come when we left or asked us if it was OK to clean if some of us stayed home for the day. The pool boy and evening "gaurd" were also EXTREMELY kind and respectful of our space and environment. All of Mary Jane's employees were friendly and we enjoyed getting to know them.  The house is in the most ideal location as it is minutes from all bars, restaurants and rental locations for surf boards, cars, etc. You couldn't ask for a more clean and modern accomadation that offered the local feel in it's artwork. The pool was spectacular as was the kitchen and appliances. We cooked lots and enjoyed the patio in the evening with the lovely breezes. The house was also much larger then the photos showed and was plenty of space for 6 people.  Thank you to Mary Jane and all of her team for showing the 6 of us one of our best trips ever! We WILL be back and we all highly recommend you visit Casa Lakshmi as it will blow you away.

The house was beautiful, clean and in the perfect location - walking distance from the cute town of San Juan del Sur.  We had everything we needed and Mary Jane went the extra mile, even finding us a shuttle to and from the airport and the driver was great!  She was very accommodating and provided us with excellent local restaurant recommendations and recommendations for beaches, etc. - which we took and loved! The house was very safe, with a gate and an alarm system. Would definitely stay there again!

Casa Lakshmi was an amazing refuge for our family to relax and re-charge. The home was absolutely beautiful with high end fixtures and finishes throughout. It was a touch of first world in a third world environment, which after 5 nights in a less than stellar hotel in Granada, was a huge relief for us. It is a short 3 block walk to restaurants. It was a little hard to find at first but once there we had a wonderful time.

Had a wonderful time at Casa Lakshmi. It was a very comfortable place to relax both prior to and after exploring San Juan and the beaches. The photos don't quite do justice to the property - it's stunning. It's about an 8 minute walk from the beachfront and shops so everything is easily accessible.  Mary Jane was out of town for most of the trip yet she still responded to all of our transportation, tour, and food questions (her husband even walked us to one of his favorite restaurants the first night!). Her friendly staff (Laura y Francisco) were friendly and helpful and definitely made the trip even more pleasant. Look forward to staying here again on my next trip to Nicaragua!

My family and I were looking for a private setting where we could be together without having to deal with anyone.  Mary Jane is a nice person but she is very hands on and we did not feel totally comfortable during our stay.  The house we used is attached to another main house, where the host stayed the entire time we occupied the other house.  At 8 am on our first morning, a person arrived to clean the pool.  Another person arrived while we were hanging out together to make beds and do dishes.  We would have liked to slept longer and to just hang out, but that was hard to do while Mary Jane's people were there.  While this is an amenity you may wish to have, it should have been done when we were gone or when we requested.  We were not asked about our preference or allowed to be alone to enjoy our time together without having someone around or wondering whether someone was going to show up.  Everything was safe, but our personal belongings were moved, suitcases were zipped, and items were moved around probably because it looked better to be organized.  It was uncomfortable to arrive back at the end of the day and to have to look around for something.  The house is situated in a busy and loud neighborhood.  To have peace and quiet at night, you have to close the windows, which then means you have to turn on the air conditioner.  Mary Jane told us on the first day that using the air conditioner costs about 6x as much electricity, so we felt bad for turning it on at night.  The house has a security system that caused us again to worry about leaving and coming back.  When we left, someone was at the house "cleaning" so we didn't turn it on.  When we arrived back, we used the key to turn it off.  Apparently we did not do it correctly because Mary Jane showed up with police, again feeling bad for an expense.  After that, we didn't use it because we were afraid it would cause a problem.  We had a few issues before we arrived and didn't feel like we had enough information that other hosts usually provide.  For example, we asked about shopping, dining options and things to do before we arrived.  Mary Jane did not give us useful information until we arrived.  She sent emails everyday, which was nice but a little late for us to plan our day.  The house didn't have any brochures or local information.  The kitchen had staples available to use, and a water dispenser, which was great.  A suggestion is to provide plastic and take-away cups, particularly around the pool.  All in all, the house is beautiful and clean and well kept.  The drawbacks are lack of privacy, loud noise, and too much control of how it is used.  

Normally I would never respond to a review written about my rental and even if it wasn't to my liking, however I feel I need to defend myself on this, so untrue description !!  To start with , Denise was the most difficult person I have ever had to deal regarding my rental , huge communication problems prior to her arrival, she wanted to cancel her booking which I agreed to and gave her all the correct info to how to do this, and she refused to do it accordingly to airbnb policies she sent relentless messages to my phone, to my private email address, extremely persistent. I answered kindly back to all, it was very time consuming ,I even offered her a future discount, and an extra refund on top, In the end she kept her reservation and it was apparent that she did so reluctantly .    Just before her arrival I had asked her if she needed taxi , pick up, private shopping etc anything else, info about san juan etc even said that I would be there to welcome her, t say thank you enough to my staff.          Majority of the the things that she wrote were untrue.  I would not normally respond to a review written about my rental house but on this occasion I would like to defend myself.

The place is fine.  and its a private villa so, not a hotel.  the neighbored is Nicaragua so, tire shops, stores, etc, near to small centers and beach.

Our time at Jane's place was super wonderful. It's close to everything. Just a few minutes walking to beach, restaurant, cafe, bar... Great conexions by house with anywhere in the Town of San Juan Del Sur. Her House just like pictures show. It has lovely pool and such a nice interior.  And Ms.Jane is so lovely, Kind and giving tips on where to eat, places to visit, etc.. Overall, I’m really satisfied last holiday. Really nice to met her and I will look forward to go there again !! :)

Casa Lakshmi was perfect. It's smack in the middle of town. Two blocks from the beach, one block from any restaurant or bar that you want to go to. Mary Jane is super connected in San Juan del Sur. She hooked us up with guides and local recommendations. The house was in perfect condition, beautiful, spacious, and well designed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, felt safe, and would go back in a heartbeat.

Mary Jane was an amazing host. She met me at the house to explain everything and offered great recommendations. The pictures do not do justice to the place...it is much nicer!!! Location is ideal as it is walking distance from everything. The staff (Laura and Mario) were really nice and helpful. The place is great value for the area! I recommend this place 100% and will visit again in the near future.

If you are looking to stay in San Juan Del Sur look no further. This property exceeded all of our expectations. It is modern, excellent size, great wifi, fantastic pool and the perfect location. If possible it is better in real life than in the pictures posted. It is in very short walking distance to everything you could possibly need but those few minutes mean its also very quiet enabling you to relax away from the noise of town. Mary and her house staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful throughout our stay, she organised taxis for us on our departure and gave us a run through of activities in town. Very few properties in San Juan have pools and this is a life saver as it gets so hot so its fantastic having your own private pool to cool down in. I could honestly not recommend this property enough, when I return to San Juan I will definitely be contacting Mary in the hope to stay again in the future. All in all the best airbnb experience I have had to date, from the property itself to dealing with Mary. Thank you Mary.

Wow!!! What a wonderful vacation we had at Mary Jane's house. First of all the house is very clean and there is a maid that comes every day. The bedrooms are big and every one has its own bathroom. The kitchen has all the appliances that you might need for cooking meals. The swimming pool is great and we used it alot. The house is secured 24/7. Everything is with walking distance, the beach,many restaurants,shops etc. One thing was bothering us and its the blackouts that juan del sur is suffering from and i wish the house will have a generator like most of the places in the city. We for sure will come back and stay at mary jane's house.

Great nice house with a wonderful pool area. located right in the city with only a 3 min walk to the beach. But the house is so private you don't notice it. I will come back here. 

Jätte fint hus med en underbart pool område. beläget mitt i stan med bara 3 minuters promenad till stranden. Men huset är så privat att man inte märker av det. jag kommer att komma tillbaka hit. 

Mary Jane was there to welcome us and to fill us in on the things we might need to know about the house and San Juan Del Sur.  She is very friendly and approachable, as are all the staff.  The house was beautiful, (even better than the photographs) and spotlessly clean. The kitchen was the best equipped I have ever experienced in a rental.  Even though it is situated right in town, (so you really don't need a car) the place is peaceful and very private and secure, even outdoors in the pool area, which was really like an extension of the living room.  The staff were friendly and accommodating.  We have rented a few houses at the beach in Nicaragua over the years and this place is by far the most pleasant and positive experience  we have had.  I recommend  it  wholeheartedly - worth every penny!

What a wonderful experience! It lived up to and more than every expectation. Mary Jane was the most perfect hostess, finding solutions to ongoing travel. Her maid service and chirpy enthusiasms to meet all our needs were very warmly welcome. The en suite accommodation was 5 star..such a unique cultural and heart felt design. Incredibly clean with best home comforts :) We will return and want to recommend this little gem to every traveler we know! This made our honeymoon more than memorable. Thank you Mary Jane! X

Mary Jane was a lovely and helpful host. She got us all set up with a local surf shop and provided a beautful space for us to stay. The pictures do NOT do the place justice, it's a gorgeous place!  Thank you! 

If you are considering booking this place - think no more and book it now! Mary Jane is a gracious host, was nearby when we needed her but also left us to ourselves. Her staff is great, friendly, keep the pool and house clean, and super helpful in general. The house itself was also perfect - comfortable bigs beds in the rooms, great showers, a beautiful kitchen, spacious living area, and good wifi. Can't wait to stay there again! 

We had a truly wonderful stay at Casa Lakshmi, the photographs really don't do it justice, it's exceptionally clean and has wonderfully tasteful decor. Mary Jane was the perfect host and was very helpful in helping us plan activities and getting around. You must let her cook for you too, we had 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and a dinner over our 4 night stay and every meal was of the highest standard and very reasonably priced, we recommend the Filet steak in Gorgonzola sauce, yum! The area is great and you feel very safe with the 24 hour security guy and it's only a couple of minutes walk to the main bars, restaurants and lovely beach. We also took a ride to Hermosa beach arranged by the local surf shop, it was only $5 return and worth going the extra journey to what was a really beautiful beach & great for beginner surfers! We had the best time at the villa and thank Mary and her staff for making it so enjoyable, we will definitely be back!
