Loved our stay! The house was perfect, very pleasant, and the atmosphere was really great. Everything was together to make you feel good. Thank you very much to our hosts for their hospitality and kindness. We recommend it without hesitation! ☀️

Nous avons adoré notre séjour! La maison était parfaite, très agréable et l’ambiance vraiment superbe. Tout était réuni pour qu’on s’y sente bien. Un grand merci à nos hôtes pour leur accueil et leur gentillesse. Nous recommandons sans hésiter! ☀️

What a little gem in El Tránsito! Great spot for families or two couples. It was super cute and clean. Very quiet and a nice plunge pool in between the bedroom cabanas. Katie was really responsive and gave excellent instructions. It was the perfect little weekend hideaway and we cannot wait to return!

Very comfortable accommodation and finally a kitchen for cooking

Logement très confortable et enfin une cuisine pour cuisiner

Good communication, very simple check-in and check-out.

Bonne communication, entrée et sorties très simples.

This Airbnb is right next to the beach a really cool beach where u can rent surfboards and enjoy delicious meals! The pool is great. Very comfortable place to stay I loved it !!

We had an amazing stay at the Beach Bungalow! It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway. Katie and Damian were excellent hosts. Super helpful and responsive, and even helped us book taxis to get to and from the bungalow as required! Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay in El Transito at the bungalow. The place was fantastic - highlights include the pool, extremely comfortable beds, the kitchen (having the flexibility to cook while there was a game changer), and the pseudo outdoor showers in the bathrooms. The location is awesome too, being a very short walk to the beach and center of town. Katie was extremely responsive and helpful, and went out of her way several times during our stay to help us out for one reason or another. Easily one of the best experiences I've ever had on AirBnB with a host. Couldn't recommend staying here any more!

Amazing place, good cleaning service multiple times, AC works perfect, Pool was dirty sometimes but still swimmable.

My husband, 2 years old daughter and I spent 2 weeks holidays at the Beach bingalow and we absolutely loved it! It was perfect for our family, big kitchen/living room, nice pool to refresh, very good attention of cleaning staff/pool guy cleaning every few days. Since the restaurant options in the área are limited it’s a real plus to have a kitchenette to cook fresh fish & your own meals. Just a couple of steps from the beach and the main Beach break. Katie was super helpful to book us a transfer from the AirPort and help us once on site. Highly recommend it!

Perfect in every way.  It is a beautiful place to stay with careful attention to every detail.

Nice place. Beautifully decorated. Nice swimming pool (small, but nice to cool off). Great kitchen with inventory. Nice place to sit both indoors and outdoors. Short walking distance from the beach with a few places where you can have a drink or eat, and also rent surf boards (good tips from the host)

Fijne plek. Prachtig ingericht. Lekker zwembadje (klein, maar fijn om af te koelen). Prima keuken met inventaris. Lekkere plek om zowel binnen als buiten te zitten. Korte loopafstand van het strand met paar plekjes waar je wat kan drinken of eten, en ook surf boards kan huren (goede tips van de verhuurder)

Thank you for your kind words! We would be happy to welcome you back any time!

Close to the ocean on foot, nice pool, the 2 bedrooms are air-conditioned which was comfortable for the night. Beautiful decor. Katie answered any questions we had quickly. El transito is a quiet and ideal place for surfers. You can get everywhere on foot from the beach. Thank you

Près de l’océan à pied, piscine agréable, les 2 chambres sont climatisées ce qui était confortable pour la nuit. Très beau décor. Katie a répondu à toutes nos questions rapidement. El transito est un endroit calme et idéal pour les surfeurs. Tout peut se faire à pied à partir de la plage. Merci

Katie and Damian host a beautiful space! They were very accommodating and responsive and I would certainly stay again for a surf trip

Our stay at Katie and Damian’s place was wonderful - we really enjoyed the pool and the close walk to the beach. Katie was very communicative and when I had a small issue, she had it resolved within minutes! Will definitely stay again.

This place is ducked off; but is surrounded by a beautiful beach !!! Oh my!!! It’s very far from the city, if you’re looking to get away, to a secluded area, THIS WILL BE THE SPOT !!! We on the other hand, wanted to explore, but had trouble finding transportation. We reached out to Katie, and what an angel she was 🥰 she recommended Oswald and He Was Just as awesome as she. He was so passionate about giving us the best experience. He toured us around and stayed with us the entire time. We all bonded 🩷

Everything was beautiful.  The place is incredible.  The pool is very relaxing.  Shower is  one of the most unique concepts ever.  The design and interior decorating that went into this place will make it one of the most unique and beautiful Air BnBs you've stayed at Hands down.  We loved it!!!!!!!

Im so glad you enjoyed your time, the total build cost excl. land was $120,000. The property is actually for sale if you were interested in a vacation home in Nicaragua 😄

I can’t express how much we’ve enjoyed our stay! remarkable, beautiful, breathtaking, the views, the beach, the hospitality, I would recommend this place to anyone that is seeking a private oasis. seriously a paradise! And what more can I say about our hosts that went above and beyond for us. We are looking forward to our return. Thank you so much Katie and Damian. Definitely see you soon! Take good care until then 😌

This place is a little slice of paradise! The kitchen/ living area and two ensuite bedrooms are tastefully furnished, super-comfortable and well-designed. The plunge pool is lovely and the garden is beautiful, buzzing with birds and butterflies. The whole space feels private and luxurious. We had a wonderful time here with our adult daughter and her friends, who stayed close by. We went to the beach, hung out at Surf Coffee, Sun Slice and Free Spirit, had a surf lesson, yoga class and £5 pedicures. The local community was friendly and welcoming. Katie answered all our questions quickly and seemed able to supply anything we wanted. Mama Andrea popped in to do the cleaning and laundry and was super friendly and helpful. Thank you!!

Wonderful stay at this beautiful place all with exquisite taste. We will definitely be back again🙏♥️. Thanks to Marvin also for your kindness and great service

Maravillosa estadía en este lugar precioso todo con un gusto exquisito. Volveremos sin duda otra vez🙏♥️. Gracias a Marvin también por au amabilidad y gran servicio

The house is lovely and was a fantastic base for the stay in El Transito with our daughter. Kathie was extremely fast in all her responses and provided us excellent support to arrange transport, surf lessons and horseback riding. We enjoyed our stay a lot and hope to return some day.

Absolutely Incredible place. The pictures don't do it justice. We will definitely be back!

Loved every single area, peaceful and safe! Great view! easy access!

Katie and Damian were wonderful hosts from start to finish. They were very responsive and helped us feel right at home with recommendations for surfing and food. The house was perfect and right by a perfect little beach which we had all to ourselves!

The house is wonderful. The super cute rooms. The ambiance of the super well pool and the well equipped kitchen.

La casa es maravillosa. Los cuartos súper lindos . El ambiente de la piscina súper bien y la cocina bien equipada.

The Villa is wonderful. One of the most beautiful places I was lucky enough to live in. As well, hosts are very responsive, present on the premises in case of requests and available to help. The place is literally a 3-minute walk from the beach. Our stay was perfect

La villa est merveilleuse. Un des plus beaux logements ou j'ai eu la chance de résider. De plus, les hôtes sont très réactif, présent sur les lieux en cas de demandes et disponible pour aider. Le logement se situe a littéralement 3 minutes de marches de la plage. Notre séjour à été parfait

Beautiful place with an amazing and very responsive host. The place was clean, with beautiful architecture and amazingly comfortable bedrooms! the pool is really nice for when the day gets hot. Something we really appreciated was the big kitchen, it was a pleasure to cook there and it was really well equipped. You can definitely walk to the beach, it takes a bit more than what is noted but no more than 3 min tops. You can find natural pools between 8:30-11:00 that you will enjoy

Thank you and thank you for your feedback!

The casita was stunning and photos don’t do justice to the beauty of it. Aesthetically gorgeous!! Was perfect for a double date vacation which we spent with our adult daughter and boyfriend. It was awesome. Highly recommend.

Thank you for feedback re the bougainvillea! I will get that cut back!

Katie & Damian were great!  They met us out front right away. They were quick to show us to the bungalow.  The place was perfect for us to relax and have some downtime from a busy travel schedule.  The beach is right there, the place itself is beautiful and most importantly to us it was very clean.  We would definitely stay there again.

Awesome place , very close to the surfspots !
