Three Bedroom Beachfront Villa on Playa Redonda - Houses for Rent in Tola, Rivas, Nicaragua

Vila Urraca was a peaceful getaway! Host is super friendly and accomplished! The beach is right in front of the house and we could leave doors and windows open as there was not many mosquitoes, surprisingly. We had a great family time!

We loved the house. Everything was super good 😊

Nos encantó la casa, todo súper bien 😊

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Jon’s place. The place was spotless clean, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described in the listing. The location is right on a private beach which made for incredibly peaceful and scenic mornings. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beach escape !

The best property to stay at in Aqua wellness. The beach and restaurant was across the street within steps. The view to the ocean was priceless. Something to keep in mind are the steps to carry your luggage upstairs and the fact that you are surrounded by wildlife. Overall I rate my stay 5 stars.

Our stay at Jon’s place was absolutely wonderful! The house is truly breathtaking—beautiful, spotless, and even more impressive in person. It had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Jon was an exceptional host. He was incredibly warm, responsive, and attentive throughout our visit. Whenever we had a question, he replied quickly and genuinely cared about making sure we had the best experience possible. His kindness and dedication really stood out. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely love to come back. Thank you, Jon, for your outstanding hospitality and for making our trip so memorable. Highly recommend!

Everything was excellent, I recommend it.

Stunning Villa just in front of private Beach! Every room/bungaloo are equipped with fridge and Coffee maker. And the main house with a living room and fully equipped kitchen, including lots of board game. Beautiful wooden design, it blends well with the surroundings. Great option if you want a full villa for your family and friends.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+ Jon and Elsa are truly the definition of exceptional hosts. From the moment we booked until the day we checked out, their communication was prompt, thoughtful, and incredibly welcoming. They genuinely cared that my family and I had everything we needed and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. The home is absolutely stunning and exactly as described—if not even more beautiful in person. Every photo is accurate, but nothing compares to experiencing it firsthand. Waking up to the breathtaking views and having access to the private cove beach made us feel like we were staying in our own luxury tropical paradise. The property is peaceful, safe, impeccably maintained, and the perfect place to disconnect and enjoy nature. Having a restaurant near was an added bonus, allowing us to fully relax without needing to leave the area. Jon and Elsa also graciously accommodated a last-minute request to use the laundry facilities, which meant so much to us. Thank you!!!!!

Stunning views and the beach is steps away from the villa! Jon was very helpful and accommodating. Overall, an easy and enjoyable stay 🥳

Jon’s place was great, and Elsa, the property manager, was super responsive and helpful throughout our stay. She even brought us champagne glasses for my birthday, which was such a thoughtful touch. Everything felt smooth, easy, and very welcoming. Highly recommend!

The beachfront villa is a hit. The whole experience is very nice.

La villa frente a la playa es el éxito, muy bonito toda la experiencia.

The place is beautiful. The cabins need maintenance; in one of the cabins, the air conditioning wasn't working properly. We waited an hour, and it still felt hot. Since we were a small group and had all 3 cabins to ourselves, we decided to move to another cabin where the air conditioning was working properly and which had been thoroughly cleaned. However, the surroundings are beautiful, and the view is 10/10. We would go back. We hope they address these issues.

El lugar es precioso, las cabañas ocupan mantenimiento, en una de las cabañas el aire acondicionado no funcionaba bien, esperamos una hora y aún así se sentía caliente, como éramos un grupo pequeño y teníamos las 3 cabañas para nosotros, decidimos irnos a otra donde el aire acondicionado si funcionaba bien y una limpieza profunda, pero el entorno es precioso y la vista 10/10, volveríamos, esperamos mejoren el tema.

Truly a special place, Jon’s Villa Urraca is perhaps the most special Airbnb we have ever visited. Jon was gracious and responsive and accommodated us when we needed to make a last minute change. We will absolutely be back!

We had a wonderful stay at Jon’s villa. Everything was exactly as it is pictured and we had back up clean sheets and towels which was greatly appreciated. Unfortunately we were without power for 3 out of the 6 days we stayed however, this was totally out of the hosts’ control and was just unlucky timing. Concierge made us aware of everything we needed to bring and be aware of, and communication was absolute top notch.. always there whenever we had questions. Would easily recommend to anyone and everyone!! Thanks Jon and Elsa! :)

One of the most beautiful places I have seen! Amazing host

Amazing place ! Right on the beach. We can t wait to come back . 5 stars everything

I spent an amazing week with my family at Jon’s place. From the beautiful house, to the wonderful pool, and private beach we had such an incredible stay soaking it all in. This is truly a special place. We can’t wait to come back. Jon was super helpful and communicative with any questions we had as was the Aqua staff and beach bar/restaurant. The layout of the three villas is so unique and my kids loved having their own “place” in such beautiful surroundings. This place is a gem.

Our stay at Villa Urraca was simply perfect. From the very first contact, communication was flawless; both the owner and the person in charge were always attentive, responding quickly and kindly to all our questions, which gave us great peace of mind before and during the trip. What impressed us the most was the hospitality. They made us feel welcome from the very first moment, with an attention to detail that really makes a difference. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests' comfort. As for the property, the house is in excellent condition. The facilities are very well maintained, clean, and equipped with everything you need to relax and enjoy a carefree stay. This place perfectly combines comfort with a cozy atmosphere.

Nuestra estancia en Villa Urraca fue sencillamente perfecta. Desde el primer contacto, la comunicación fue impecable; tanto el dueño como la persona encargada estuvieron siempre atentos, respondiendo con rapidez y amabilidad a todas nuestras consultas, lo que nos dio muchísima tranquilidad antes y durante el viaje. Lo que más nos impresionó fue la hospitalidad. Nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos desde el segundo uno, con una atención al detalle que realmente marca la diferencia. Se nota que se preocupan genuinamente por la comodidad de sus huéspedes. En cuanto a la propiedad, la casa se encuentra en excelente estado. Las instalaciones están muy bien cuidadas, limpias y equipadas con todo lo necesario para relajarse y disfrutar sin preocupaciones. Es un lugar que combina perfectamente el confort con un ambiente acogedor.

Very comfortable place and nice space to enjoy with the family, I loved it 💗

What a gem! This was truly an incredible find. The property is a stones throw to the beach and restaurant. And the beach is a turtle sanctuary! It was so cool to watch four releases of newly hatched turtles right after sunsets.

My family and i had a great 2 days stay at Villa Urraca in Redonda beach ! Excellent and prompt communication with the owner Jon. Villa Urraca is a lovely wooden house with 3 independant confortable bungalows nestled above a clean white sand beach, litterally an isolated paradise. A great place to relax, snorkel and see turtles nesting by night if you are lucky as we were... Very close to a beach/fishing village with bars, restaurants and markets. Thank you again, we'll be back !

Best place to stay. We were a group of 4 adults travelling together . Stayed for a week . Perfect location . Saw humpback whales breaching from El Gigante . Beautiful turtles on Redonda  Bay right in front of the house . They come ashore to lay their eggs . Baby turtle releases at night .Monkeys everywhere you look . If you love nature you will love it here . Plunge pool was a  great bonus as well . Ate at the restaurant with no complaints . Just lovely  . el Gigante also has a few small convenience stores to gather supplies if you like to cook and also some very inexpensive and wonderful places to eat very authentic NICA food cooked to perfection .

What a magical experience. Not just because the beach was one barefoot step away from us, but because of how easy everything felt. Every person we spoke to, every message we sent — it was all smooth and taken care of. Without miscommunication or having to ask twice. We went on a fishing trip and caught a 10kg fish — still can’t believe it. The kitchen team cleaned it and prepared it for us, and on our last night we had a barbecue with all the friends we’d made along the way. Aqua took it upon themselves to make it happen and have our guests over because they understood it was important for us. After a month of chaos and nonstop movement around Latin America, Aqua was our last stop. The place where we finally slowed down. Where we could breathe. Take it all in. Leave a little part of the journey behind on that beach. In three days, strangers became family. We fell in love with Nicaragua. The people, the places, and the insane nature. Thanks to every single person along the way.

Had a great stay with my family. Location was amazing and peaceful, the beach bar was nice - food too. I would come Back. Great experience!!!!!! Cons: I was in communication with 3 diff people through W.A & including this one. Did not have extra toilet paper/paper towels (I had to ask for an extra roll of paper towels/toilet paper) (for reference we were a group of 7) Did not have seasonings for food i purchased i.e at least salt and pepper (as every other Airbnb I’ve stayed at) Flies were all over the place, especially at the beach bar It was kinda windy during our stay and there were leaves in the pool, I asked to have it cleaned and they came, however they said they would only come once a day to clean it and the pump was to stay off at all times - however, I did mention that still water is not cleanly and that the pump should be on should we want to use it- they came to turn it on but it was not on during our whole stay Could use better lighting throughout the house & steps outside

Right on the beach at the Aqua resort. Beautiful surroundings

Excellent stay, unique location, in front of the beach while being wooded and in nature. Located in the Aqua resort, which consists of villas in the forest where howler monkeys reside and overlooking a beautiful quiet bay that is also a refuge for sea turtles. We were able to observe a sea turtle laying eggs, and a release of baby turtles, all a short walk from the villa. We often felt like we had the beach almost just to ourselves. Jon is very responsive, available and helpful, and communication was also excellent with the concierge service and the on-site staff were just as friendly. We would definitely go back.

Excellent séjour, emplacement unique, devant la plage tout en étant boisé et dans la nature. Situé dans le Aqua resort, qui consiste en des villas dans la foret où résident des singes hurleurs et donnant sur une superbe baie tranquille qui est aussi un refuge pour tortues de mer. On a pu observer une tortue de mer pondre, et un relâchement de bébés tortues, le tout à quelques pas de la villa. On sentait souvent qu'on avait la plage presque juste à nous. Jon est très réactif, disponible et serviable, et la communication était aussi excellente avec le service de conciergerie et le personnel sur place était tout aussi aimable. Nous y retournerions certainement.

It was one of the best experiences I've ever had, just 1 minute from the beach. The cabin is a dream and the sunsets seem like they're from a fairy tale. I traveled with Canadian friends and it was the best impression they could get of the beaches of Rivas. Jon was always very attentive to everything. Highly recommended!

Fue una de las mejores experiencias que he tenido, a solo 1 minuto de la playa. La cabaña es un sueño y los atardeceres parecen sacados de un cuento. Viajé con amigos canadienses y fue la mejor impresión que pudieron llevarse de las playas de Rivas. Jon estuvo siempre muy pendiente de todo. ¡Súper recomendado!

A beautiful house right on the beach. Extremely good communication and it worked out great for our 2 families on vacation together. We had so much fun and would love to return!

Such a beautiful location, the restaurant is so convenient, beach is amazing and there is actually decent snorkeling right off the beach. The house is perfectly located and well maintained. It’s a little rustic with a lot of beautiful wood, the floors were wonderful. The host is very responsive.

Wonderful house.  Literally on the beach which is quite wonderful.  Turtles laying eggs almost every.  Howler monkeys calling.  The concierge was very responsive and helpful.

Great place at one of the best beaches in Nicaragua. Clean, comfortable, and perfect for a relaxing stay.

One of if not the most beautiful bnbs I've ever stayed in. Right in front of the beach and you can hear the waves at night from the rooms. Super spacious with everything you'd ever need. Everyone was super helpful and the communication was amazing. If i needed something they were super detailed and quick to respond. So many activities to do. Will definitely stay here again !

Villa Urraca is a great place to unwind.  Close to the beach and surrounded by nature.  Staff were all responsive and helpful.  The restaurant on site is only open from 9am - 5pm so plan ahead with groceries / snacks if you want or need food outside those hours - Jon did offer some delivery options also!  Overall a great place for a relaxing stay!

We had a wonderful time. The villa is beautiful and it had everything we needed. Jon is a great host. The private beach was beautiful and learning about the sea turtle program was a great experience.

Excellent stay, I think it's a cozy place and a very good location, close to the restaurant and the beach. Highly recommended. It meets expectations. We'll be back.

Excelente la estadía, creo que es un lugar acogedor y muy favorable la ubicación, cerca del restaurante y de la playa.. súper recomendado. Cumple las expectativas esperadas.. Volveremos.

Staying at Jon's Airbnb was a pleasant experience. Jon is super attentive and makes sure everything is perfect for you to enjoy your stay. I definitely recommend Jon and would stay at his Airbnb again. Thank you very much to Jon and his team for such a good experience :)

Hospedarse en el Airbnb de Jon fué una grata experiencia. Jon es super atento y está al pendiente que todo esté perfecto para que disfrutes de tus estancia. Sin duda recomiendo a Jon y me volvería a hospedar en su Airbnb. Muchas gracias a Jon y a su equipo por tan buena experiencia :)

really nice place, almost exclusive beach, its within a private beach resort with safeguards. the villa include a small private pool, could take picture in the pool with thr ocean view. the villa is fully equipped with all necessary, we really enjoy the stay with family.

Paradise! The beach was incredible and the cabin was just steps from the ocean. Such a peaceful spot. I’d recommend checking out the nearby beaches for food and also bringing some groceries with you. The stay was exactly what I was looking for.

We loved the place — it's right on the beach, with the sound of the ocean and beautiful flora and fauna.

Jon’s place is a standout, peaceful respite to soak in some sun and enjoy the simpler life. I love that there are many trees around the property and complex allowing just enough sun to peek through while keeping things comfortable. The only thing that may rival the place is Jon and his team’s communication throughout. We (entire resort and surrounding towns) had an electricity issue due to heavy storms, and Jon and his team were regularly following up to make sure we had what we needed and keep us comfortable. A+ communication and beautiful location/space may this a great trip. We look forward to coming back.

We loved our stay here. The cove was so private and beautiful. Jon communicated very well. We found a fan was not working upon check in and we had a replacement the next morning. While we were there the beach bar/restaurant closed pretty early, by 5, so be prepared for that possibility as it’s a bit of a drive to any other nearby restaurants or grocery stores. If you don’t want to have to leave, definitely hit the big grocery store 30 minutes away, as all the “pulperias” all over the map are not viable options for snacks or drinks. Jon did tell us this, but I expected them to be perhaps like a small convenience store. I was wrong. Lol We loved the ice maker and the provided water, and had everything in the house we needed to have a great vacation. I can’t recommend the location enough. Definitely hop over to the next bay, Playa Gigante to catch a sunset. Spectacular!! We can’t say enough good things about the stay and the host. Would definitely return!

Really really loved Villa Urraca! Everything was so clean and fully furnished. The pool was awesome for us to relax in the evenings. Very quiet and private. Jon and his crew were always very responsive. The place is beautiful and the view is something you see in a movie. Got to see monkeys and would wake up to them howling which was such an awesome thing to experience. Food at the restaurant was very tasty. Everyone working at Aqua were very helpful and nice. Got to see sea turtles release into the ocean after hatching. Definitely coming back! Price was great! Can’t wait to return and recommend this place to everyone!

Beautiful place and with an excellent atmosphere. 100% recommended.

Precioso lugar y con una ambiente excelente . 100 % recomendado.

This house is amazing and met all expectations. It is nestled in the mountains and only steps from a private beach, great restaurant. Jon was very responsive and helpful with all questions. Highly recommend for a quiet and private getaway in one of the most beautiful coasts in Nicaragua. Would definitely go back.

A true hidden treasure surrounded by dreamed bay, calm beach, lushly tropical paradise packed with birds, turtles/iguana sanctuary and monkeys. Plenty of serenity trails to explore and enjoy nature at its finest. We took a hike to mountain peak to enjoy breathtaking views of playa Gigante and playa Redonda bays. Also walked to playa Gigante for some fresh fish and enjoyed a bigger beach. This is a beachfront villa giving you unlimited waves sounds and sunsets. Birds “Urracas” are extremely friendly and come begging for breakfast and lunch throughout the day. Most definitely will come back to unwind again a few times a year.

This place is an absolute gem! The location is unbeatable, less than a minute walk to a quiet, secluded beach that’s only accessible to the community, which makes it feel incredibly private and peaceful. The setup is brilliant: a main house with three separate cottages. It’s perfect for traveling with extended family or friends, especially that one fun, slightly wild relative you love but also want to keep in their own space! Everyone gets their privacy and their own spot to relax. The hosts have thought of everything. Each cottage was not only clean and cozy but also well-stocked with essentials, and even had desks, which was a huge plus for us as digital nomads. Highly recommend staying here. You get comfort, privacy, and unbeatable beach access all in one.

Fantastic house right at the beach. This is my favorite beach on the pacific coast of Nicaragua, due to the fairly mild waves and nice clear water. House had everything we needed to feel right at home. Lots of wildlife in the area. We did a hike which we really enjoyed.

Beautiful spot- steps from the beach which is such a bonus traveling with kids. The view from each balcony was so nice. The small private pool was perfect too. I was in the master bedroom and the a/c worked great at night. We brought our paddle boards and the bay was a perfect spot for that. We saw a sea turtle! Our host was very communicative and accommodating. The beach bar/restaurantwas very disappointing. The first day they didn’t have fruit so no smoothies or blended drinks. The second day all they had available was beer and shots. So bring your own drink and food so you don’t get stuck without! We were a little disappointed that the beautiful sliding patio doors didn’t have a screen so we couldn’t keep them open for an ocean breeze (flys and mosquitos). We had a wonderful time and will definitly come back!

We were delighted with this place and its views, in addition to being a very nice villa, the beds are super comfortable, and I would like to point out that everything is very clean. We were very satisfied with this stay, and I would seriously recommend it to 💯😌✅

Nos fuimos encantados con este lugar y sus vistas además de que es una villa muy bonita, las camas super cómodas he importante, todo muy limpio, muy satisfechos con esta estancia en serio que la recomendaría al 💯😌✅

I absolutely loved my time at the cabin called Urraca. Nestled by the sea, it offers breathtaking views and an unparalleled sense of tranquility that makes it easy to forget about work. With spectacular sunsets, I could see nature, feel it, and I truly felt immersed in the environment. One of the most wonderful experiences was witnessing the turtles lay their eggs, and later observing the tiny hatchlings as they made their way to the sea. It was a magical experience, one that deepened my appreciation for nature. Anyone who spends a vacation there will undoubtedly experience the profound relaxation that this place offers.

A magical spot with wonderful sunsets!  We hope to be back soon!

This was our second stay at Jon's rental. He was very responsive and the cleaning staff and the staff who performed general gardening & pool cleaning were excellent! This is our favorite beach in Nicaragua. We'll definitely be back for another visit!

Excellent service, we had an amazing time

Excelente atención, fueron días increíbles

We had a great stay at this villa in Aqua. The space was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. It’s in a quiet, relaxing spot with a beautiful beach —clear water, soft sand, and perfect for unwinding. The host was super responsive and helpful from start to finish. Would definitely recommend and would stay again without hesitation.

I'll start with what matters. We really, really enjoyed our stay with Jon at Aqua Resort and would return if we are in the area again. Jon was extremely communicative and responsive. His staff were flexible, communicating by phone and apps. We appreciated that arranged to arrive a little early and our room was ready as promised. The location is *beyond* beautiful. The entire resort faces the west, and the sunset is visible from large windows in every room. the beach is very private, and the restaurant is literally a stones throw from almost every room. Service was excellent throughout. The beach is an active tutle nesting site year round, and there's a good chance to get to see a live turtle release in the early evening at sunset. I would describe this as a 4 to 4.5 star upcoming resort that is a good alternative to more expensive options nearby. We had some minor issues with ants, the AC not cooling quite enough, and some funky shower heads. Minor issues worth the savings.

Where do I even begin... I've traveled a lot, stayed in a wide variety of countries and homes, and I think this is among my top 3, if not my absolute favourite. We chose Jon's Villa Urraca for a small group of friends to celebrate my 50th birthday. We wanted something quiet and off the beaten path, with accessible amenities, comfort and simplicity. My group are all seasoned travelers, and it would be my first time to the Tola area in Nicaragua. Having come to Nicaragua for quite a few years, I expected a balance of comfort and challenges, but we found all of the former and none of the latter. Urraca is unique, with 3 separate self contained villas sharing a pool and very private beach, with a great restaurant and bar steps away, a beautiful sunset every night, and all the comforts one could expect. The local staff were amazing, helpful, and just as responsive as Jon throughout our stay. We can't say enough good things about our stay. Thank you Jon and team for an amazing experience!

The place is very comfortable, what you see on the photo is what you get.  Very close to the beach.  Can view the ocean all day from any where. Nearby restaurant. Great service.  Love the deck and rocking chairs just to chill and see the stars at night.  Had a great time.

Villa Urraca absolutely surpassed our family's expectations. Spending time there was one of the highlights of our vacation in Nicaragua. We especially appreciated the beachfront view, and the short walk to the beach, as well as the proximity to the restaurant and activities like the turtle release and horseback riding. Jon and his team were excellent hosts—very responsive and attentive. We’re already looking forward to our next visit to Villa Urraca!

Great stay! The home is just as advertised.  We enjoyed having immediate beach access and Jon is a very accommodating host.  We look forward to returning.

The property is located insite a resort, and is pretry remote, but everything comes at a price, and we were really happy to stay there as we found it to be on the most beautiful beach of the area. Most of the time, we had the beach for ourselves, which felt quite unreal. We felt really lucky to observe a sea turtle on the beach looking for a place to make a nest to lay its eggs on the very first night, this was an incredible experience ! The property was very clean, well taken care of, had AC, and only steps away from the beach. We saw lots of birds, and even some howler monkeys in the trees. The restaurant of the resort is 20 meters away from the house, which is handy, although it is very expensive for the country. Nothing the host can do about, as he is only the owner of the house. Would recommend !

It's a nice place and the host Jon was very clear in his directions, very good service and kindness , everything was excellent .

Es un lugar agradable y el anfitrión , Jon, fue muy claro en sus indicaciones, muy buena atención y amabilidad , todo excelente .

Wow. What a find!!! This is such an amazing house. We were a party of grandparents, parents and 2 children (2 and 4 years). The house was perfect for our needs. The beach is incredible. So calm and clean. From the house balcony we were able to observe our kids on the beach (with some big kids they befriended). There were turtle eggs about to hatch (January 2025) but they weren’t quite ready while we were there. We took a lovely horse ride over to Amarillo beach which was just as spectacular and with surfing. The 4 year old was able to sit on the horse for it and the 2 year old had a ride for a few minutes on our beach. The restaurant served amazing food, cocktails and smoothies. Was pricey for Nicaragua, but as expected for a private resort. Staff were so lovely. We felt entirely safe here. I will absolutely return here, in a heart beat!!

Villa Urraca is perfect for relaxing and connecting with the sea. I loved it, I would definitely come back.

Villa urraca es perfecta para descansar y conectar con el mar. Me encantó, sin lugar a duda volvería.

Fully equipped villas, prompt response and beautiful and pleasant environment

Villas totalmente equipadas, pronta respuesta y entorno hermoso y agradable

Our stay was incredible! The beachfront location was unbeatable, just steps away from a great restaurant, with stunning views that made every moment special. We loved having our own pool and the feel of a private beach! it was so peaceful and relaxing. The only minor drawbacks were the firm mattresses, which might not suit everyone’s preference, and the lack of screen doors on the sliding doors, which would have allowed us to enjoy the fresh ocean breeze at night. That said, the breathtaking ocean views, friendly and accommodating staff, and overall experience more than made up for it. We absolutely recommend this place for a tranquil getaway

Subject: Thank you for our stay Dear Jon, I hope this message finds you well. I want to sincerely thank you for the very enjoyable experience we had on your beachfront property. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect - the location is spectacular, the facilities were spotless, and the ambiance was ideal for relaxing and enjoying. Something we will never forget was the release of baby turtles just when we were arriving at your property We loved Villa Urraca, which literally is so, friendly birds that came to delight us in the cabin as well , such as "waking up to the sound of the waves" and "spending evenings on the terrace overlooking the ocean"We also greatly appreciate the conditions of private access and the tranquility of Playa Redonda We will definitely recommend your property to friends and family, and hope we will have the opportunity to return in the future. Thanks so much ! Regards Reiner Molina

Asunto: Agradecimiento por nuestra estadía Estimado Jon: Espero este mensaje te encuentre bien. Quiero agradecerte sinceramente por la experiencia tan agradable que tuvimos en tu propiedad frente a la playa. Desde el momento en que llegamos, todo fue perfecto: la ubicación es espectacular, las instalaciones estaban impecables y el ambiente fue ideal para relajarnos y disfrutar. Algo que jamás vamos a olvidar fue la liberación de tortugas bebés justamente cuando estábamos llegando a tu propiedad Nos encantó Villa Urraca, que literalmente es así, aves amigables que llegaban a deleitarnos a la cabaña así , como “despertar con el sonido de las olas” y “pasar las tardes en la terraza con vistas al océano”También apreciamos mucho las condiciones de acceso privado y la tranquilidad de Playa Redonda Definitivamente recomendaremos tu propiedad a amigos y familiares, y esperamos tener la oportunidad de volver en el futuro. ¡Muchas gracias ! Saludos Reiner Molina

It is a very nice and spacious house is fully equipped its staff is very friendly and the place is very quiet!!! I'll definitely be returning 😍🥰

Es una casa muy bonita y espaciosa está totalmente equipada su personal es muy amable y el lugar muy tranquilo!!! Sin duda volveré 😍🥰

They are 3 cabanas 10 mts from the beach, it is just behind the beach restaurant. It's 3 separate cabanas the rooms but we passed it 10/10 everything was excellent

Son 3 cabañas a 10 mts de la playa, queda justo detras de restaurante de playa. Son 3 cabañas separadas las cuartos pero la pasamos 10/10 todo excelente

Such an amazing place to stay. The layout of all the cabins are awesome. Beautiful place to walk around.the yoga area was great. we will definitely be back next year once the construction is finished and the restaurant bar is open. Highly recommend staying here if you want to relax and be in a treehouse.

Jon’s place was beautiful. The beach is otherworldly and the cabin itself is a gem. My son had an amazing time playing in the pool while we had a beers and enjoyed the waves crashing in the background. Area is very safe and near by is Playa Gigante which has a few spots to catch some drinks and dinner. We chose Juntos Beach Bar and loved it. Jon was proactive and kind enough to let us stay an hour after checkout. Great host and wonderful place. Thanks Jon, we’ll be back soon. :)

An amazing place it is confortable, spacious and relaxing. The beach is one of the best un Nicaragua. I recommend this place 100%. Hosts were fantastic!!!

incredibly beautiful views and the villa was beautiful. Loved this place

One of the best beaches I have visited in Nicaragua. The location is a dream. We had the beach all to ourselves and were pleasantly surprised to witness turtles hatching and making their way to the sea. It was truly a magical and one of a kind experience. There’s no restaurant directly on the beach due to remodeling, but we had no trouble getting food delivered. Gigante Beach, which is just 7-10 minutes away by car , has great restaurants offering delicious food and beautiful views. A car is a must, as you'll need it to get around for food and other necessities. There’s also a small market in Gigante where you can find essentials like water, milk, cereal, beer, wine, etc. BEWARE OF GOOGLE! Google will direct you to a dirt road that leads to the property, right before the main entrance. For some reason, it is open to traffic. I nearly had a heart attack when an ununiformed security guard came out of the bushes at night asking for my name. Other than that, I highly recommend it 100%.

The area Aqua is an absolute dream. A hidden gem on the Emerald coast. Enjoy a Jurassic environment, secluded beach and a very cool accommodation. The house was amazing with the best location in the area, just on the beach. Luxury Tarzan vibes! I would love to come back!

Beautiful private location right on a lovely beach with impressive views of the bay and beautiful sunsets. We were also gladly surprised by the wildlife, as for a couple nights we shared the canopy with some howler monkeys, and we had daily visits from curious urracas. The service was fantastic as well, with very friendly and responsive groundskeeper and property manager. The visit could have been more peaceful without the construction that was going on all day starting early in the morning, sometimes right outside the bedroom window, sometimes including very large trucks making their way through. It is also worth noting that you’ll likely need a 4x4 vehicle to get to the property, the final stretch being a little steep and much more challenging when wet. Also know that the place is not very child friendly, with lots of steep steps and sharp edges, though admittedly it wasn’t advertised as child friendly. Overall enjoyed our time quite a lot.

The photos of the site do not do justice to the cabanas and the simply spectacular place to spend as a family the attention of jon writing was very pleasant in those details.

Las fotos del sitio NO hacen justicia a las cabañas y al sitio simplemente espectacular para pasar en familia la atención de jon escribiendo fue muy agradable en esos detalles.

The villa and beach are too beautiful, with incomparable tranquility. We had a wonderful day. We will definitely come back again as much as possible. Jon is a super host, always responds quickly and is very attentive to the guest's comfort.

La villa y la playa son demasiado hermosas, con una tranquilidad incomparables. Pasamos unos días maravillosos. Sin duda volveremos en cuanto nos sea posible. Jon es un super anfitrión, siempre responde con rapidez y está muy atento a la comodidad del huésped.

The beautiful beach, and the villa can't be said! Everything was very clean and equipped.

La playa hermosa, y la villa ni se diga! Todo muy limpio y equipado.

Everything is perfect! The Villa is very complete, equipped with the necessary, more sufficient, comfortable and safe. The beach is 10 steps away. The only detail was the parking lot of the vehicle, unfortunately we were told that there was q parking 1.4 km from where we were staying, in addition there was no nightlight; I think that's part of the hotel that they did not improve that part. The rest, spectacular.

Todo perfecto! La Villa está muy completa, equipada con lo necesario, más q suficiente, cómoda y segura. La playa a 10 pasos. El único detalle fue el parqueo del vehículo, desafortunadamente nos indicaron que había q estacionarlo a 1.4 km de dónde estábamos quedándonos, además q no había luz de noche; creo q ya eso es parte del hotel que no han mejorado esa parte. El resto, espectacular.

The property and the location was absolutely beautiful. It was a wonderful stay. Highly recommend!

we felt we were in paradise, lots of friendly workers,

Villa Urraca is truly a gem to be found nestled along the Emerald Coast of Nicaragua! Jon was an attentive and supportive host always responding within minutes of my queries. His home is perfectly situated in the beautiful Aqua resort directly above the beach, super close and easily accessible. It is like an elegant tree house with its very own plunge pool which is amazing after spending hours snorkeling. The one downfall for this trip is that the resort was closed and therefore the restaurant was closed and the usually accessible kayaks and SUPs were not available. That said, it was like a blessing in disguise as we basically had the beach to ourselves! We spent hours snorkeling and lounged on lovely cushy lounge chairs under our very own palapa. We did not have the opportunity to help release turtles as the variety of nests on the beach (clearly marked and protected) were not hatching during our stay. With the help of his local team, we had meals delivered and had an amazing stay!

Wonderful experience - within walking distance to the beach. Can’t wait to come back!

The dwelling was really unique and the decor all around unforgettable. It was even nicer than the pictures. Jon and his team's service was exceptional. Responsive, attentive with the constant concern of making visitors satisfied. This place is highly recommended for those looking for a 5-star experience. Thank you Jon.

L’habitation était vraiment unique et le décor tout autour inoubliable. C’était même plus beau que sur les photos. Le service de Jon et de son équipe était exceptionnel. Réactif, attentionné avec le soucis constant de rendre les visiteurs satisfaits. Ce lieu est à recommander vivement pour ceux qui souhaitent vivre une expérience 5 étoiles. Merci Jon.

Wow!!! Jon’s place was just incredible. The house and surrounding were exactly like the pictures. And it was truly a sanctuary of paradise in the jungle. It was definitely the favorite place that we have stayed at. Waking up to the sounds of the waves crashing, and animals in the trees, and sitting in the pool watching the ocean, just absolutely magical. The house was impeccable, clean, comfortable and gorgeous wood everywhere. We stopped in Rivas and brought some groceries (Jon’s suggestion) so glad we did!!! The restaurant was closed on sight, so we just ordered food for delivery for dinner. Jon helped us arrange all of that. We definitely didn’t want to leave to go anywhere once we were there!! It is very remote, but so wonderful. We were the only ones on the beach every time we went down there. Can’t wait to come back! Thank you Jon!

This property is very rustic and beautiful. The cabins are nice and the views are amazing. The sounds of the waves from the beach makes you feel like you're sleeping in the ocean. It's a nice place if you want to get away from a hectic lifestyle. There's not much to do besides the beach. It's not a good location if you're traveling with elder and kids. I highly recommend for couples  or singles who wants to immerse themselves in nature.

One of it’s kind this place is a peaceful spot for a family trip
