Rustic AC Oasis on Ometepe Island - Houses for Rent in El Madroñal, Rivas, Nicaragua

Nice little private house, close to everything. Well equipped and clean. The host answered all our questions and had plenty of information available to guide us during our visit to Ometepe!

Belle petite maison privée, près de tout. Bien équipée et propre. L'hôte à répondu à toutes nos questions et avait pleins d'informations disponible pour nous guider lors de notre visite à Ometepe!

The accommodation is really very nice and cozy, and it's surrounded by the beautiful nature of Ometepe. In addition, it is located just a few minutes walk from my favorite restaurant on the island: El Pital. Everything was clean, tidy, and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. Communication with the hosts was excellent at all times. I definitely highly recommend this place. Thank you very much!

El alojamiento es realmente muy bonito y acogedor, y está rodeado de la hermosa naturaleza de Ometepe. Además, se encuentra a solo unos minutos caminando de mi restaurante favorito de la isla: El Pital. Todo estaba limpio, ordenado y contaba con todo lo necesario para una estancia cómoda. La comunicación con los anfitriones fue excelente en todo momento. Sin duda recomiendo mucho este alojamiento. Muchas gracias!

This hidden gem was a great find.  Liya thought of everything to make it an easy adventure.  For the record, there were scattered rain storms throughout the day and we still had very hot water, even still in the morning.  10 out of 10 we will be back again!

Amazing location! Perfectly secluded and quiet but only minutes away from restaurants and close to beautiful views of the lake.

We had a wonderful stay Liya's rustic cabin. The location was ideal — peaceful and secluded enough to feel like a true retreat, while still being close enough to El Pital for convenient food options and coffee runs. The air conditioning was surprisingly excellent and reliable (besides one night the power went out), which made it easy to get relief from the island heat. We especially appreciated the quiet surroundings, natural beauty, and relaxing atmosphere. It was the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind while still being near great food and amenities.

It’s a cute little rustic place in the jungle. we absolutely love the bathtub and the little sitting place by the window. The bed was comfy. And Liya is an amazing hostess. There is a lovely restaurant down the hill by the lake called El Pital from where one can see sunsets over the volcano, a must do. We really enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed our stay! It was a great location...close to restaurants yet tucked away to have private space. Liya & Javier were very responsive and helpful with any questions we had and helped arrange massages for us! We love Ometepe and this location was perfect for our stay.

Comfortable private cabin with everything you need close to lovely restaurants and the main attractions on Ometepe. Helpful host.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling to Ometepe. The house and garden were beautiful and the location was close to all of the activities we had planned for our time on the island. My only complaint was that the WiFi didn’t work (we were only there for a couple days so I didn’t bother the host about it), but other than that, the space was great!

Hello Rebekah! Thank you for the compliments 🫶🏽 we are glad you liked it, and also I'm very sorry about the wifi, due to strong winds during these days the wifi company suffered several damages to the fiber optic lines, I hope this inconvenience didn't affect your experience at our place 😊 thank you again

Recommended. Nice small rental that offers everything you need, easy check-in.  Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Very quiet area. 

It's private and away from the main street but still close to restaurants and the grocery stores. Groceries and ATM within walking distance.   

All in all very good value for money.

Great place, and definitely the right way to do an Airbnb. 

Water filter with water, some tea and coffee ready to go. Close to everything but quiet and peaceful. 


Highly recommended.

The name says it all- this was TRULY an oasis. Nestled in the charming viney forest, surrounded by every type of flower- amazing. Directly across the street from the path to Pital, incredible restaurants right down the road- the BEST part of the island and cozy. Liya answered all of our questions and responded positively to every request. It was wonderful. 
*Just be sure to bring all your belongings indoors at night- there are people in Ometepe who are not financially stable and desperate. This has NOTHING  to do with the place- just a general note to travelers and applies to anywhere with economic disparity, really. 
Thank you Liya!!

I really like Ometepe and Liya's place. It's quiet, yet within walking distance of many places. When I arrived around 8:00 p.m., it was pitch dark, and I could not find the right entrance. Thankfully, my taxi driver was very helpful. He coordinated with Liya, and we were finally able to find the place! Liya and the taxi driver were both so kind and helpful. I felt like I was staying at a friend's home because they took such good care of me!  I highly recommend Liya's place. A+++

We had a great stay in this very cute garden house! The location on Ometepe is perfect, close to the main sights and with great restaurants around. The host made us feel really welcome and was really easy to talk to. The recommendations on food and the scooter/ATV rental were also perfect. Would definitely come back here!

Place is rather overlooked by the main house on the property and has no real outdoor space bar a tiny table with 1 chair. It is very dark inside due to needing to close shutters or being seen. A little rundown inside and a really uncomfortable bed that slopes from the middle out. In a nice village quite near lots of nice places to eat but you might need your own transport.

Thank you so much, Cathy, for your stay and for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that some things didn’t meet your expectations. We’ve taken your comments about the lighting, outdoor space, and mattress to heart and we will make the improvements. Wishing you wonderful travels ahead🙏

Great place close to a lot of things to do, AC works great and everything was as described. Host was super responsive and helpful, highly recommend.

Great location and cute place. Liya was very responsive and flexible. Thank you so much!!

I’m very grateful for Liya and the co-host for having an amazing step by step instruction of how to reach the Airbnb and to get inside. Once I walked in it was spotless. Couldn’t be happier.

A lovely place to stay managed by top hosts. Fully recommend!

Beautiful place in a beautiful setting. Very private and serene. The bathtub was a nice end to the evenings and the monkeys started every day. Liya was extremely helpful and responsive and the house was just as described. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Beautiful casita next to a bigger house (also a rental). The location is everything. Walking distance to El Pital chocolateria and cafe, Bustavo food bus, Maiz taco/pupusa restaurant. You can also walk to Balgue if you need supplies. Liya was very helpful with recommendations. The island is beautiful. The location felt safe and the local people are friendly. 8 hours of air conditioning may not sound like much but the humidity in this area of Nicaragua amplifies at night and it makes all the difference to a good night’s sleep. The bed is huge and comfortable. We had a gecko friend in the room but it was cute, kept to itself and worried only about eating any bugs that wandered in.

The host was extremely welcoming and helpful, however, the air conditioning wasn't working and it was very humid. However, she accommodated us by sending a technician and refunding part of the stay. (PS: if you don't like insects, ometepe may not be the place for you and even less so during the rainy season) Thank you very much to Liya for this beautiful stay and for the insect repellent ;)

L’hôte était extrêmement accueillante et serviable , toutefois , l’air climatisé ne fonctionnait pas et Cetais tres humide . Elle nous a toutefois accommodé en envoyant un technicien et en remboursant une partie du séjour . (PS: si vous n’aimez pas les insectes , ometepe n’est peut être pas l’endroit pour vous et encore moins durant la saison des pluies ) Merci énormément à Liya pour ce beau séjour et pour le chasse insectes ;)

Great jungle hideout, the house has everything it needs and the surroundings are beautiful. The host is very friendly and responsive.

Stayed here for 12 days, great place, AC is amazing to have in ometepe, lots of jungle creatures in the house like geckos but nothing to bug you. Nice bathtub, shower, and kitchen. Bed is huge and extremely comfy, great spot too, private and peaceful. Liya is as responsive and helpful as it gets, to near instant replies and great answers from simple questions to requests. Would definitely stay with Liya again.

Very nice to achieve and the host is very helpful!

Muy bonito lograr y muy atenta la anfitriona!

Beautiful place, well located! I must say that we were very sick and therefore spent a lot of time there. Fortunately, it's quiet and the rest in the accommodation allowed us to recover well. We had the opportunity to discover the restaurant La Bendicion de Dios just around the corner, traditional food. We would have liked to discover this restaurant before, I recommend it!!!

Bel endroit, bien situé! Je dois dire que nous avons été très malade et que nous y avons donc passé beaucoup de temps. Heureusement, c’est tranquille et le repos dans le logement nous a permis de bien récupérer. Nous avons eu l’occasion de découvrir le restaurant La Bendicion de Dios juste au coin de la rue, nourriture traditionnelle. Nous aurions aimé découvrir ce restaurant avant, je recommande!!!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! I'm happy to hear the house offered you a peaceful space to rest and recover. And yes — La Bendición de Dios is a great local spot, thank you for recommending it! Wishing you both continued good health and more great travels ahead 🌿

Wonderful location, helpful, kind and responsive host, cute space, and the AC gave us such a great night’s sleep

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the space — and that the AC helped you get a great night’s sleep! 😊 You're welcome back anytime.

Great property, it was very fun to stay in a central location

נכס נהדר היה כיף מאוד לשהות בו מיקום מרכזי

We had a really great stay! The location is beautiful, surrounded by greenery with a fantastic view of the lake. It’s peaceful and really gives you that jungle atmosphere—just be prepared for some animals around, which is part of the charm. The check-in process was super easy, and the place is well equipped with everything you need. There are also parking options and great local contacts for tours, taxis, and other activities. A big shoutout to Liya, the host—she was amazing! Communication was fast, clear, and always super friendly. She helped us extend our stay immediately without any hassle. Overall, a lovely experience. Just a few minor things kept it from being a full 5 stars, but we’d absolutely recommend it!

Thank you so much for the lovely review! I’m really glad you enjoyed the atmosphere and your stay. I truly appreciate your kind words, and your feedback has been noted. You're always welcome back! 🌿😊

Great place, super clean and easy to get to restaurants close by. Would stay here again

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed your stay.. you’re welcome back anytime!

Really nice accomodation for a few days in Ometepe. Walking distance to restaurants and cafes. The place was clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Thank you so much! I'm happy to hear you had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the area!

Beautiful little private house very close to El Pital, restaurants, the beach and to rent a motorbike. Loved our stay!

Belle petite maison privée tout près de El Pital, de restaurants, de la plage et pour louer une moto. Nous avons adoré notre séjour !

Very quiet apartment in the middle of the jungle

Sehr ruhig gelegenes Apartment mitten auf im Jungle

I absolutely loved staying here.  Its in the perfect location, right across the street from el pital. Liya was so helpful and responsive. I really recommend this place. It was also so clean and comfortable.

Great place has all the amenities you need and close to the best things the Island has to offer. The host was way beyond helpful ever I step of the way. Was my first time to visit and she was able to assist with all the things I needed to have a wonderful trip. Highly recommend best stay on the island!

Liya’s place is a tranquil spot in nature, with easy access to multiple restaurants and activities! Great host, awesome communication - will provide all the help you may need! Thanks Liya!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is very cozy. It has hot water and air conditioning, which was very convenient for our comfort. In addition, the location is excellent, as it is close to some restaurants and points of interest in Ometepe, which made our visit to the area much easier. Liya was very kind. She provided us with recommendations and was always available for any questions we had. Highly recommended!

Disfrutamos mucho nuestra estancia. La casa es muy acogedora. Tiene agua caliente y aire acondicionado, lo cual fue muy conveniente para nuestra comodidad. Además, la ubicación es excelente, ya que está cerca de algunos restaurantes y puntos de interés en Ometepe, lo que facilitó mucho nuestra visita a la zona. Liya fue muy amable. Nos proporcionó recomendaciones y siempre estuvo disponible para cualquier pregunta que tuviéramos. Muy recomendado!

The place and Liya were absolutely wonderful. It was super serene and peaceful and exactly what I needed. It's in a great location for things to do and food. It's a bit of a ways from the port but I personally prefer that and felt I could get immersed in what the island has to offer without all the traffic and noise in the busier part of the town coming in. Jose picked me up at the port and I rented an ATV - which I do recommend some form of transport rental if you want to get around. Liya was super helpful, she helped me get into the property when I arrived in the pitch black and she really went out of her way to make sure I was enjoying my time. I'll be in Nicaragua for awhile and I would definitely go back. Beautiful space and a beautiful host. Highly recommend.

Absolutely lovely stay - a peaceful spot in the jungle. 100% recommend!

Liya’s place was amazing and secluded. She was super fast to respond and check in was easy.

Our stay on Ometepe was fantastic! The house is nestled in a quiet garden full of birds, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. It’s conveniently located, close to the swimming are and nice restaurant making it easy to explore the island. The room was cozy and well-designed, with high ceilings, a huge bed, and a comfortable sitting area in an alcove. The new A/C kept us cool, there was a hot water, great strong WiFi and the small kitchen was very handy for quick meals. A special thanks to Liya, the manager, who was incredibly kind and helpful. She send us a video how to find a place and arranged a reliable and friendly taxi driver for us, making our trip stress-free. We truly enjoyed our time here and highly recommend it!

Thank you so much, Oksana, for your lovely review! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the house and your time on Ometepe. Your kind words mean a lot, and I’d be thrilled to welcome you back anytime!

The location and space were wonderful, the bed was comfortable, and Liya was a very kind and responsive host.

We liked the location and the host was attentive to our needs.

Nous avons aimé l'emplacement et l'hôte était à l'écoute de nos besoins.

I really enjoyed my stay. Liya was an excellent host and a prompt communicator. I would certainly recommend and hope to visit again!

Gorgeous little house in the forest! Quiet, comfortable and massive bed! Helpful host 🫶🏽 we kept extending our stay because we loved it so much. walkable distance to shops and restaurants and many scooter rentals nearby to rent to exploor the island.

the location was great, host super friendly. even helped with some flower prepararion for our anniversary, it was super peacefull, i would 100% recommend it!!

Thank you, Santiago! It was a pleasure having you as guests, and I'm glad you found the place peaceful. You're always welcome back anytime!

Beautiful and peaceful place, one of the only places I could find that has airco which was definitely needed with this humid heat. Has everything you need and Liya was an amazing host. Also, just across the street there's an amazing Middle Eastern Restaurant, Bustavo.

Thank you so much Vince! It was a pleasure to host you!

I highly recommend staying here! I really enjoyed my time in the house, and the addition of a well-crafted guidebook with local recommendations was a nice touch. The air conditioning works great, and it's nice to have hot water readily available

A cozy and pleasant home. The niche with the large window overlooking the greenery truly enhances the experience, making the stay feel magical. The air conditioning is a great upgrade, adding extra comfort. The house is equipped with everything you need for cooking and a comfortable stay. Lia, the host, is super friendly and responsive, which made the whole experience even better....
