San Juan del Sur Top-Floor RockStar Bayfront Condo - Condominiums for Rent in San Juan del Sur, Rivas, Nicaragua

best apartment in SJDS. very spacious, incredible location (steps from the beach and lots of great restaurants). building staff and scott were all very friendly, helpful, and communicative and made our stay so easy. would definitely stay here again

Absolutely amazing!!!!! If this place is available book it you won't regret. Great location, clean and nicely decorated, awesome reception desk and overall such a good vibe. Already planning my return trip :D

Such an amazing stay! The location is perfect. Everything in town is super walkable. Many great restaurants nearby (one of my favorites was right next door). The space is big, comfortable, and feels really homey. There’s a shuttle to the surf beaches right around the corner, which made getting around easy. Scott and his team were so helpful and gave great recommendations. I would definitely stay again!

I come to San Juan every year and have stayed at multiple BnBs.  Scott’s place is at the top of the list.  Excellent views, very convenient to everything, clean and comfortable facility.  I stayed in his place for 7 days.  Security is also excellent…monitored 24 hours/day.  If you don’t mind climbing stairs (5th floor), I would highly recommend Scott’s place!  I will rebook same place next year. Thank you Scott for having a lovely facility!!

Great place to stay for a month. The WiFi was very fast and worked even when the power went out. Power went out somewhat often, but this is inevitable in the area and was always back on quickly. The listing does not lie about the stairs - 5 big flights to walk up - but at the end of the day it was fine, we expected it. And those 5 flights of stairs allow you to have the best view of the bay from the balcony, especially at sunset. Beds are very comfortable and air conditioning works very well. Highly recommend!

A comfortable place to stay and a convenient location.   The host was very responsive to any questions.

Absolutely loved scott’s place. Unbelievable view in the heart of the city I couldn’t have been happier.

The description and experience matched the listing perfectly.  We enjoyed the water views every day, different sunsets every night, a beautiful (and workout) walk and climb to the Jesus statue, numerous great eats around town, all from this perfect home base.  We will definitely be back for a long term stay. Well done!

Great spot right on the beach. We enjoyed our stay and recommend staying here.

Stayed in Scott’s place for a month and it was the BEST ever. It was really the most peaceful time I’ve ever spent in someone else’s home. The energy of the apartment is very chill and relaxed. He did say that it was five flights up and no elevator (he wasn’t lying 😆). I now have a new bum, certified by my husband. Between contemplating the universe as you watch the tides go in and out and evening drinks on the balcony while watching the sun go down, you couldn’t ask for more. I would definitely recommend Scott’s apt. Everyone there to help us went over and beyond. Again this stay was fantastic.

Scott’s place was the perfect location in San Juan. Great views of the sunsets and the place itself felt cozy and like we were right at home. Would definitely stay again!

Hands down best place to stay in SDJS. The view is out of this world, hosts extremely responsive, & beds superrrr comfy! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

This a great spot right in the center of town! I was very comfortable there and the bidet was definitely a plus that most other places don’t have. Views were great, it was easy to work remote, and everything you need is walkable so no need for a taxi or rental. The five flights of stairs should be noted, same with the loud parties on the street, but the listing clearly calls these out and it was exactly what I was looking for. The staff was friendly and Eric was super responsive. 10/10 would book again 🫶

Fantastic location on the beach .Enjoyed beautiful sunsets everyday from the balcony.The condo served us well for 2 weeks with all the amenities of home. Very walkable to restaurants , stores and shuttles to various beaches .

Great place, great view and great price. I recommend strongly! Thank you.

Beautiful location and view every morning!

Scott's place is very well located to enjoy the beach and the town. The kitchen was well equipped and functional. Scott was very clear about the noise and the stairs and he isn't kidding, it is very loud at night in the apartment except for the master bedroom, so we had a good night's sleep every night we were there. The view is spectacular and everything is walkable within a block or two. We really enjoyed our stay!

Scott and his team was very helpful from first communication till we left the property. Very clean Great location Super views…..amazing for sunsets and moon settings! Highly recommended.

STAY HERE! The apartment is even bigger and more beautiful in person than the photos. The view and location are unbeatable. AC works really well in the bedrooms to stay cool, and the primary bedroom has a really comfortable huge king bed and double pane window to keep everything quiet. Perfect place to rest between adventures. The team of co-hosts was helpful in helping us stock up on drinking water and call a taxi. Both my husband and I worked as digital nomads; they had 3 perfect desks/chairs and great wifi to support both of us working. Only things to be aware of are walking up 5 floors of stairs, some inconsistent water pressure and there are ants/bugs waiting for any food scraps (they left strict instructions that we followed and it was very manageable to avoid issues, but something always on our mind). It’s very clear the host takes great care of this space and we are thankful it’s open to rent because it is so special and nice. Would highly recommend and we hope to come back!

Thanks again for sharing your home, fantastic location and view!

Great and walkable location to the town and the beach, unique aesthetic,  very spacious, clean, friendly and responsive staff, plus it has the best view of the bay. We spent  a lot of time admiring the sunsets from the balcony. Highly recommended, will come back.

We had a lovely stay at Scott's apartment.  Thanks to Julio and Jeannnette for the good services they have provided us.  Our breakfasts were always on the balcony with the unobstructed bay view;  it was great!

Nous avons fait un très beau séjour dans l'apartement de Scott.  Merci à Julio et Jeannnette pour les bons services qu'ils nous ont apportés.  Nos petits déjeuners se prenaient toujours sur le balcon avec la vue imprenable sur la baie;  c'était super!

I spent 2 months in SJDS and loved every minute of it. Perfect little town for surfing with a very friendly community. I work remotely and this spot could not have been more perfect as far as connectivity goes. Very fast WiFi, and the building has it's own generator that kicks on an hour after the cities goes out, which happened many times during my stay. The WiFi also had a battery backup, so my meetings were never interrupted. Pretty location right over the bay, although that means that you could hear some of the nightlife. The building manager and staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, despite my terrible spanish. I did think this unit was drastically overpriced ($1,500/month) compared to similar units in the area ($400 - $1000). But the fact that it was available last-minute and had reliable WiFi was a plus.

Our stay at Scott’s place was truly wonderful! The balcony itself made the stay - to enjoy an ice cold Tona Every night watching the sunset was priceless. Julio, Michael and the girls in the lobby were amazing, helpful and so kind! The pinpad didn’t work at one point, but Michael and Julio got it sorted ASAP. Kitchen was well stocked and having 3 desks in the apartment was perfect for our remote work! For anyone looking for a long term stay and to work, this is perfect!! You cannot beat this location for SJDS. The shuttle up the street to the beach is perfect and having a car is a plus for added flexibility.

Great condo. Very spacious and excellent location.  Lovely balcony with terrific views. Julio and Scott were very responsive hosts, we would highly recommend a stay here.

I loved my stay.  The top floor apartment is a gem. I will go back for sure!.  The apartment was so  nice and spacious .  The amenities were perfect and  it was so nice to have air conditioning available.  There was  also a 24 hour doorperson which add security.   The view of the bay, from the apartment, was absolutely fabulous,  I was literally steps away from the beach.   And the location is perfect. You are step away from everything.   My top Airbnb experience yet!  And  Scott was a  great host!

Right on the beach. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beautiful sunsets from the balcony.

Spacious and comfortable accommodation (the steps to reach it are not 100 but 83!!!!!!!I think the news can encourage), the air conditioning works very well so you can cool off in a short time, good sound insulation certainly not in particular parties (for example, Holy Week). Scott is a precise, consistent, rigorous but helpful person.

Alloggio ampio e comodo ( gli scalini da fare per raggiungerlo non sono 100 ma 83!!!!!!!Penso che la notizia possa incoraggiare), l'aria condizionata funziona molto bene quindi si riesce a rinfrescare in breve tempo, buono l'isolamento acustico non certo in feste particolari (esempio settimana santa). Scott è una persona precisa, coerente , rigorosa ma disponibile.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Casa Marina. The condo was spacious with amazing views of the town and water. Unfortunately, the elevator wasn't working, which Scott had mentioned prior to booking. Fortunately, at 65 I exercise daily, so climbing the five flights of stairs multiple times daily, didn't bother me. It may have an affect on some. Other than that, I give a thumbs up. Ron A

Awesome location. We had the 5th floor so the view was top notch. Big rooms, big beds. Ac units work great. Any room was cooled in minutes. Nice kitchen with everything you’d need for a long stay. Great communication for Scott and the staff. Couldn’t have asked for a for a better place to stay. Thanks Scott

Great location Great wifi Amazing bed !

This place was fantastic. It was the very rare place that is actually bigger in person than in the photos. The host was very helpful and responsive as is the security team in the lobby. Amazing view from the balcony. Considering the price, location, view, host and staff I have a hard time believing there is a better place to stay in San Juan Del Sur. Highly recommend for anyone.

Great location, comfortable and well equipped condo.  Very responsive host/team.  Amazing views.

Excellent stay in the heart of San Juan Del Sur  - wouldnt hesitate to go back and highly recommend to others! Communication from start to finish was terrific, both with Scott and Julio on the ground. Casa Marina is a great location in SJDS and the view and sunsets from the balcony were amazing. Everything you need to cook a meal is provided and lots of small grocery shops in the area. I also think for the price this is excellent value - AC works great and WIFI was the best I've ever had in Nicaragua which can be a bit hit or miss when you need to take a video call for work. The double panned windows in the main bedroom also made for an excellent sleep - and I am an extremely light sleeper! Thanks again to Scott and all for the wonderful stay.

This place is perfect for the tourist who likes to be close to all that is required for a great vacation spot. Within a block radius you can hit the beach, swim on the ocean, east fresh food locally sourced, See live music at many bars and clubs to choose from. Or just chill out on your private balcony and watch the sunset. The condo is very clean and well kept. Rooms are large each with their on suite bathrooms. When they have a festival on or long weekend, the streets get filled with more local vendors and food. During this time, the noise levels are higher during the day and night so if your looking for a totally tranquil stay, this is not the place. Otherwise this place and country is a real gem. There are not many places like this left in the world they are so affordable!

Thanks for your thoughtful review, Jeff. It's important to note that we have installed double-pane windows in the master bedroom, and because of this, we are the quietest unit in Casa Marina. You visited during Semana Santa, the busiest party week of the year. The rest of the year is not as crazy.

Overall, you can't beat this gem of a location. By far one of the best views San Juan del Sur has to offer, and you are quite literally located at an unobstructed beach front. Our favorite part was just sitting out on the balcony in the mornings and sunset into the evenings. The only note is that it can get quite loud from one of the clubs that is located about a half mile down the beach, but if you like being in the center of it all then this location is hard to beat!

The apartment was just as advertised. Perfectly located across from 2 of my favorite restaurants in San Juan. It's clean and well supplied with utensils. Everything is new and in great shape. So peaceful to sit on the balcony with the morning coffee and watch the town come alive. Strong WiFi signal anywhere in the apartment!
