Casa Flying Pigs, minutes to Santana Beach!

Casa Flying Pigs: House is great - solid construction which helped keep it cool feeling (Nicaragua is hot) and I liked the layout with the very private master bedroom on the 2nd level. They were great at organizing things like restaurant reservations, rental car dropoff/pickup, transport to and from Managua, surf lessons. Very walkable to the main building and pools at Rancho Rancho: Gorgeous. Staff is fantastic. We loved Taqueria for lunch and then alternated between Finca and Boquita for dinner. I recommend getting a AWD rental car with decent engine so you can get around Rancho - it takes 15 minutes on steep dirt roads to get from one end to the other. Horse riding was fun, surf lesson was fun, and we enjoyed playing in the surf. A very active place - not a place to lay on lounge chair on beach and float in calm waters... 1) there are no beach loungers 2) surf is big Nicaragua: Gorgeous. Airport was easy and fast. Drive is on decent roads almost the whole way. Never felt unsafe.

Carly and José, super friendly and communicative. The property is very nice and close to Santana beach, and the Santana ranch clubhouse. Minutes from Escondida beach, also in the car. A very comfortable house. Thank you

Carly Y José, súper amables y comunicativos. La propiedad muy linda y cerca de playa Santana, y del club house de rancho Santana. A minutos de playa de escondida también en el carro. Una casa muy cómoda. Gracias

We stayed at Casa Flying Pigs (F-2) in Rancho Santana. The house is perfectly located near the Inn, La Tienda, Spa. Housekeeping came every other day, and they do a nice job of cleaning and doing laundry. Communicating with the host was easy, and they really go out of their way to assist in any way. We used their services for surfing lessons for our three kids at Playa Los Perros.

We loved the house, the location was perfect. Jose was super responsive and very helpful with all of our questions. Would definitely be back!

We stayed with our family of 5, three children under 7 years old and it was perfect! 2 minute walk to the main clubhouse and approximately 3-4 minute walk to Santana beach. My family felt safe and ALL of the staff were friendly and accommodating.

Nice location and good communication. House was nice just wish they would upgrade A/c’s and have more towels for you. Other than that everything was nice and for the most part clean. They were very accommodating and informative.

Everything was great! Josie was just right for the price, location really good since it’s walkable to the restaurant!

Casa Flying Pigs was perfect for our family. The house is clean, AC worked great and had all of the cooking supplies needed to cook at home (just bring your own spices/oil/etc.) Housekeeping, host and maintenance staff were more so friendly and responsive. It is a 5 minute walk from the main clubhouse where our family spent a majority of the time.  Make sure to pack a first aid kit! Our two year old ended up cutting his foot on the tide pools and so glad we had antiseptic wash. Would definitely stay at Flying Pigs again.

The place was gorgeous and exactly as described! The host communicated with us clearly and answered us quickly any time we had an issue. We loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone!

Great place with great amenities at the club house. The pool at the villa looks small but it’s really all you need. We never really left the property because we had everything we needed. Only thing I wish was that they had some type of physical guest book / map to show you places to eat/places to see.

Amazing home! If you are in Nicaragua with family I highly suggest this beautiful Airbnb with great customer service.

This was our third stay at Rancho Santana and this was by far the nicest place that we have stayed.  5 minute walk to restaurant, pools and beach.

Great house, exactly like pictures! 100% recommended

The house was perfect for our group. One minute walk down the road to the beach club was great and we could go from the house to the beach several times a day. The staff was amazing and always wore a mask. Even with the craziness of omicron we felt safe at Rancho Santana.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home!

Great place to enjoy with family. Rancho Santana is a beautiful place. Probably going to visit again soon!

The house was amazing, specially its location. Bathrooms, towels and linens were clean.

Awesome place, very neat and a Great Location! The staff was very attentive. Will definitely come back!

During a challenging time for travel from Managua to Rancho due to the political situation, Baldo and his wife provided us with other options that would allow us to arrive safely with our family and 9 month old baby. We decided to fly from Managua to a small airport outside Rancho. We felt 100% safe during our whole travel experience. Of course, once we arrived to the property, we knew we would feel right at home. Baldo and his wife made our trip stress-free and gave us the opportunity to travel to their beautiful country for an amazing week of surf and sun, even though the country is going through an extremely rough time. Since we could safely traveling, we were able to support the local community in a time when they need the business the most. Aloha to Baldo and Sarah! We will be back! 

Thanks for staying with us, Caitlin and family! We enjoyed having you as guests and can't wait to host you again!
