Studio in Hacienda Iguana

Casita Koyu, 2 min walk to Playa Colorado Surf - Guesthouses for Rent in Hacienda Iguana, Rivas, Nicaragua

We had a great stay. The studio is a very short walk from the beach, so the location was perfect. Everything was very clean, neat and exactly as shown in the pictures. The kitchen is equipped with the necessities, which made the experience even more convenient. The place is cozy and well maintained, an excellent choice for spending days relaxing near the beach. Miki, the host, was always very attentive to any questions and was very kind, which made us feel very welcome. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it if you are looking for a pleasant stay.

Tuvimos una excelente estadía. El estudio está muy cerca caminando de la playa, así que la ubicación fue perfecta. Todo estaba muy limpio, ordenado y exactamente como se muestra en las fotos. La cocina está equipada con lo necesario, lo que hizo la experiencia aún más práctica. El lugar es acogedor y bien cuidado, excelente opción para pasar días de descanso cerca de la playa. Miki, la anfitriona, siempre estuvo muy atenta a cualquier consulta y fue muy amable, lo que hizo que nos sintiéramos muy bien recibidas. Sin duda volveríamos a hospedarnos aquí y lo recomendamos si buscan una estancia agradable.

Thank you so much for a great review!!! We really appreciate that you took the time! We are pleased that you had a great relaxing stay and thanks for being such nice considerate clean guests!

After traveling around Nicaragua, arriving at Miki's felt like coming home. The casita is cozy, beautiful, and peaceful, surrounded by nature. Miki is a wonderful host who made sure we had everything we needed and was always happy to help. The location is perfect, just a 2-minute walk from the main Colorado surf break! We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily come back.

This is our third time staying with Miki, and as always, everything was excellent. The service is impeccable: always attentive, friendly, and willing to help at all times. Definitely a place we keep coming back to with complete confidence. Highly recommended 💫✨

Ya es la tercera vez que nos quedamos con Miki y como siempre, todo excelente. La atención es impecable: siempre pendiente, amable y dispuesta a ayudar en todo momento. Sin duda, un lugar al que seguimos regresando con total confianza. Súper recomendado 💫✨

We spent 3 nights at Miki's. From the moment we booked, Miki was extremely helpful and gave us all the information we needed for check-in. She also arranged our transfer from Managua Airport. The apartment was as described in the listing, very clean and very functional. It is also conveniently located in the Hacienda Iguana complex, just 30 seconds from the beautiful Playa Colorado spot. Everything was perfect!! We had a lovely stay!!! Thank you for everything, Miki! We would definitely recommend your place!! See you soon, I hope!!!

Nous avons passé 3 nuits chez Miki. Dès notre réservation Miki a été extrêmement disponible et nous a donner toutes les informations nécessaires pour notre arrivée. Elle a également organisé notre transfert depuis l’aéroport de Managua.. L’appartement était tel qu’il était décrit dans l’annonce, très propre et très fonctionnel. Il est également idéalement situé dans la résidence Hacienda Iguana à seulement 30 secondes du très beau spot de Playa Colorado. Tout a été parfait!! Nous avons passé un très beau séjour!!! Merci pour tout Miki! Nous n’hésiterons pas à recommander votre logement!! À bientôt j’espère!!!

The studio looks like in the pictures and the cleaning was neat. We liked it a lot because it’s only 2 minutes walk from the beach, you have access to a pool and Mikki was very helpful and friendly. On top of that you can feel that the place was well set up and nicely decorated for guests. Iguana is a beautiful beach, I absolutely recommend this place!

The guest house was everything we wanted! Miki was a truly amazing host—so helpful with rides, motorcycles, and recommendations; she was on top of everything. This place was great and a perfect spot to relax. We would happily come back again!

Thank you so much! You guys are so quiet and polite so wasn’t sure if all was good! Enjoy your travels!  We will be looking for you on the slopes!

Amazing space, the house and the pool are very nice, the area is incredible for surfing. Thank you so much for giving us the chance to stay in this amazing place ❤️

This spot is ideal, two minute walk to Colorados and pangas right up the way! Surf shop super close with great board selection. Miki helped me arranged transport from Managua and to my next spot. Felt safe here as a  solo female traveler! 10/10 recommend.

Thank you Laura for taking the time and writing such a great review!  We appreciate it very much :)

I was traveling with my daughter and we stayed for three nights. It is a beautiful home. The landscaping was incredible. The host was amazing and I will definitely come back and stay again.

Thank you so much! You have more friends here now!

Absolutely loved the location super close to the beach and panga drop surf spot. Not only was  the studio a great place to spend the week. But Miki was probably the most helpful and proactive host I've ever experienced. Helped us source food, plan our next steps in Nicaragua, and explain all the top spots. Thank you Miki! Hope to be back.

Oh that review makes me happy! Thank you guys! It’s effortless  to help good people! Come back soon!

Our stay at Miki’s was incredible. Not only is her Casita in a great location but it has everything you could need. Miki and her family went above and beyond to make our experience in Nicaragua wonderful. She was super attentive and gave us so many great recommendations for things to do / places to eat / transportation. She even gave me clothes and flip flops when my luggage was delayed getting to Nicaragua. We can’t wait to come back and stay with Miki! Could not recommend this place enough!

You guys are the best! Thank you so much for your kindness and big genuine hearts 🥰

Perfect spot with absolutely everything you will need. Being at Miki’s makes Colorados a 2 min walk away… unless you walk a normal speed. Then its more like 90 seconds. Great host! Great communication and recommendations. Just awesome. Thanks!

Casita Koyu was the perfect place to recharge. I stayed more than a week and Miki and her family are incredibly kind and welcoming. I felt at home right away. The bed and pillows are comfortable, the linens are nice quality and the place had everything I needed to feel comfortable. There were planned power outages and a few unplanned ones, but Miki has it down to a science and provides battery backups. The unit has high ceilings and lots of air flow and light. I didn’t need AC. The location can’t be beat, it’s literally a 2 minute walk from the beach; 5 minute walk to a great restaurant and a 15 minute walk to town. I’m already planning my return!

Miki is an incredible host.  Very attentive to our needs, keeps the Casita spotless and clean for us, gave us some incredible tips and referrals to great people and places including the most amazing massage person and great shopping. Her entire family was kind, friendly and helpful.  Miki and her team are class acts and have created a wonderful place to enjoy a peaceful, healthy, active and highly valuable holiday experience.  We'll definitely stay here again. Thanks again Miki for making our holiday so easy and smooth!

Nice place to go as a couple, very close to the beach, you can rest Good, the apartment for 2 is very neat and clean, complete if you stay a few days and bring your food to enjoy. It has a very clean pool Miki is an excellent host, she suggests places to visit and provides contacts for activities. Everything is very well advised Excellent, we spent our anniversary there!! Thank you Miki

Bonito lugar para ir en pareja, muy cerca de la playa, logras descansar Bien, el apartamento para 2 muy ordenado y limpio completo si te quedas unos días y llevas tu comida para disfrutar. Tiene piscina muy limpia Miki excelente anfitriona, te sugiere lugares para visitar y te facilita contactos para actividades. Todo muy bien asesorado Excelente pasamos nuestro aniversario!! Gracias Miki

Super clean, smelled fresh, and everything was well taken care of. Definitely recommend! ✨

Very pleasant stay, Miki's service was very pleasant, he was always available if I needed anything. Very clean and had a fully equipped kitchen, towels, clean sheets. Everything was impeccable and a pleasant stay.

Muy amena la estadía, la atención de miki fue muy agradable estuvo pendiente todo el tiempo si necesitaba algo. Muy limpio y contaba con toda la cocina equipada, toallas, sábanas limpias. Todo impecable y agradable estadía.

Muchisima gracias Katia!  muy amable!!! :)

Everything was excellent. Miki is always very helpful. The place is very warm and pleasant. I would always come back here

Todo Excelente. Miki siempre muy servicial. El lugar es muy cálido y agradable. Volvería acá siempre

I had a wonderful stay at Mikis place. It's super cozy and it has everything you need. It's only a 2min walk to the beach. 10/10

This is my second time staying with Miki and it definitely won't be the last. She is the best host you could ever ask for. She is always super responsive and proactive. The house itself is perfect for two people. The kitchen is well equipped to cook and Miki is always giving recommendations for local events. The apt is super close to the beach. The internet works great.

Miki’s place was incredible. Perfect location and Miki couldn’t have been more helpful or kind. A truly exceptional host. Would highly recommend this amazing spot and host to anyone travelling in the area!

Honestly, we probably will never stay anywhere else when traveling to Nicaragua. Miki was an incredible host, and we loved getting to know her family. Miki was incredibly proactive in helping us learn how best to spend our time and getting things schedule for us like massages (which were maybe the best massages my boyfriend and I have ever had). Highly recomend. 4000/10.

A perfect spot close to the beach and well equipped. We felt right at home. Miki was so kind and helpful!

it was a great mid week getaway. the unit is perfect for the beach and easy walking distance to Pilis and Playa Colorado

Thank you Andrew, I appreciate the good review!  Happy you enjoyed your stay

The stay was a great experience. This was my second stay, having stayed with Miki 3 years ago in the studio. This time I was in the casita, a new addition. The casita was fantastic - very spacious, well designed and appointed. It would be perfect also for 2-travelers. There is good privacy, but also the opportunity to interact with Miki and her family, if you want. Miki and her family were very gracious hosts. She, her father, and son were all so friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here. Hopefully my next stay will be sooner than 3 years!

We had such an amazing stay at Miki’s house. The studio is new, super confortable and well equipped. We felt very much at home, which was so nice after almost 2 months travelling. Miki is a wonderful host, super friendly and caring. She helped us with basically everything, from transportation, surf board rental, food options and walking to nearby beaches. Thank you so much Miki!! The studio is really close to the beach, the area is beautiful and we’re just sad we didn’t stay longer!

Thank you so much Maic for this great review! We really appreciate it! Please send me any feedback on improving as I think you would have high standard ao any tips would ne great 😊

We really loved our stay at Miki’s house! The casita is cozy, private and close to the beach. Kitchen, bathroom and bedroom were well equipped and super clean. The bed and pillows were really comfortable. The place is quiet, surrounded by nature and ocean sounds. Miki is such a friendly, proactive and responsive host. We were celebrating a birthday and she got balloons to decorate the room. We really liked that she offered us doggie towels to dry our dogs when they came back from the beach. Even though our dogs were not on their friendliest days, Miki was very patient and understanding. This place is TRULY pet friendly. We absolutely recommend Casita Koyu if you’re looking to disconnect and enjoy nature. This is definitely a rare find in Hacienda Iguana. Book it!

This is such a great review! Thank you  for taking the time to write such a kind detailed description! I appreciate it as it helps us very much! You guys are welcome back anytime!

Playa colorado is always a great place to stay and of all the places we have met in this area, Miki's house has been the most homely, comfortable and enough for the number of days that was our instance. It is fully equipped for two people, the conditions of the house is as shown in the photos and makes the difference being close to a pool and having a porch in front of it to be able to sit to rest. It's definitely a place we'd like to go back to.

Playa colorado siempre es un gran lugar para quedarse y de todos los lugares que hemos conocido en esta zona, la casa de Miki ha sido la más hogareña, cómoda y suficiente para la cantidad de días que fue nuestra instancia. Está totalmente equipada para dos personas, las condiciones de la casa es tal cual se ven en las fotos y hace la diferencia estar cerca de una piscina y tener un porche frente a ella para poderse sentar a descansar. Definitivamente es un lugar al cual nos gustaría volver.

Our stay at Miki's went great,she was kind and kind to us that touched me very much. So we came back after our trip to Maïs Island and it was a real pleasure to stay at her place again. The Accommodation is very nice, it has all the comforts to feel good there,Miki will give you several restaurant addresses,and it is possible to have a wonderful kitchen called Jennifer, which we loved too,she also gave me a private surf lesson which was simply great.🤩 I will never forget my stay in Iguana,and hope to be able to come back soon and share this beautiful place with my son.

Notre séjour chez Miki c’est super bien passé,elle a été d’une gentillesse et d’une bienveillance a notre égard qui m’a beaucoup touché. Nous sommes donc revenus après notre trip à l’île Maïs et c’était un réel plaisir de séjourner une nouvelle fois chez elle. Le Logement est très agréable il y a tout le confort pour s’y sentir bien,Miki vous donnera plusieurs adresses de restaurant,et il est possible d’avoir une merveilleuse cuisine qui s’appelle Jennifer,que nous avons adoré également,elle m’a aussi donné un cours de surf en privé qui était tout simplement génial.🤩 Je n’oublierai jamais mon séjour à Iguana,et j’espère pouvoir y revenir bientôt et faire découvrir ce très bel endroit à mon fils.

Miki and her family are so nice they make you feel at home. They are all so helpful and always making sure you’re having a good time. Thank you so much for everything and we will be back for sure!!!

Iguana is a very nice community with options of restaurants and convenience stores, quiet and easy access to the sea, the casita is comfortable and practical.

Iguana es una comunidad muy bonita con opciones de restaurantes y tiendas de conveniencia, tranquilo y fácil acceso al mar, la casita es cómoda y práctica.

super nice host, walking distance to whatever you need

Highly highly recommend Casita Koyu and Miki if you are heading to Playa Colorados. My son and I had a perfect week there surfing and enjoying the beautiful beaches and water. The casita is exactly as advertised and reviewed, a short walk to the main break and beach club. We rented a golf cart to cruise around Hacienda Iguana but a bike or scooter would also have been fine. Miki has all the local knowledge and contacts and even went out of her way to help us get some pizzas delivered on our first night after a long travel day! If I could give a higher rating I would! Thank you Miki!

I have stayed in 100+ airbnbs and I have to say it's hard to find the level of attentiveness, friendliness, and care that Miki brought to our stay. She was very responsive from the beginning and helped us find a transfer from where we were staying in Nicaragua to the Airbnb (with a stop to buy groceries). Additionally, she was always available to help with any logistics such as calling a taxi to go to another beach, doing laundry, finding a board rental, and even setting up an extra desk for the two of us to work comfortably. The space itself is a 2 min walk to playa colorado which is great for surfing. The bed was comfortable, the AC cooled the space well, the pool was great, and the hot water was nice. Kitchen was perfect to cook all meals. The internet worked well to have two people working and doing video calls. Miki invited us to different events going on at Hacienda Iguana such as live music, taco night, etc. This was an amazing stay because of the place, location, and the host.

Miki was the best host, extremely accommodating and welcoming! The place itself was adorable and has everything you need to feel like you’re at home! Loved my stay!

Great studio for surfers,a couple of steps and you are on the beach at the main lineup at Colorado’s.Miki’s is a great host and will help you out on anything you need on you stay. Coolrunnings.Tomas.

I was able to stay at Miki’s for almost a week and had an amazing time. You can hear the howlers howlin’, waves crashing, and the birds cawing - just what I was looking for. The beach is a very short walk and very peaceful/not crowded. The Airbnb is beautiful and clean and has all essentials necessary. The pictures accurately reflect the listing. Miki was the most helpful host when it came down to providing restaurant/entertainment recommendations and directions when I got lost. She was always responsive and made sure everything was going well. It was a wonderful week and I am thankful I chose this location. 10/10 would recommend and would absolutely return!

We love staying here! Miki is such a great host, the most helpful and attentive. Super sweet and friendly. We would highly recommend this place to stay, it’s the perfect location for if staying in hacienda iguana

My mum and I really enjoyed our stay. Lovely family, gorgeous dogs and a beautiful location. Clean place, safe location (especially for surfboards),  stayed fresh plus great price for Iguanas. We were a little disappointed that we weren’t able to use the pool because it was not ready for swimming, but good thing the beach is so close! Thanks for the warm hospitality Miki! 😁✨

Wonderful stay! Miki organized our taxi and surfboard rentals and was very quick to respond if we had questions. Very safe neighbourhood with friendly neighbours. They were a lovely family and we had a very relaxing time. We would definitely come back and recommend this Airbnb! :)

This place is amazing, and Miki is a great host. Very welcoming. Loved her house, and dogs. I recommend 100%, and will be back for sure. Iguana is great for surf and chill.

Place feels like home so easily. Its so cozy surrounded by green and just 3min walk till the Bach. Miki makes the stay so easy for you, as she has a lot of local tips - example fruit and vegetable delivery. Just loved it so much here! The studio is also so clean and cozy!

Miki is a friendly and gracious host and Casita Koyu is a great option if you are looking to stay in the Hacienda Iguana area. Location is perfect— super short walk to the beach club, Pilis restaurant, and the Colorados surf break. We had a very relaxing and peaceful stay and the space is perfectly set up and outfitted to spend some time in this wonderful part of the world.

Great place, great host! the house is very close to the beach and is quite comfortable. thanks miki!

Ótimo espaço, ótima anfitriã! a casa fica bem perto da praia e é bastante confortável. obrigado miki!

Excellent host, she was always looking out for me. The cleaned place loved me!!

Excelente anfitriona siempre estuvo pendiente de mi el lugar aseado me encanto !!

Miki’s place is wonderful! Right next to the beach, super clean and very comfortable. Miki is also an amazing host! Would definitely come back!

Miki is a fabulous host.  Super helpful and hooks you up with many cool things and people in this little village.  The casita is an immaculat little studio, perfect for a single or a couple (or 2 good friends who don't mind sleeping 5 feet apart).  The kitchen is complete for home cooking and there are a couple good restaurants in the village.  But buy your groceries at La Colonia in the main town of Rivas as the little stores here don't have much.  Although often you can buy fresh seafood from the local fishermen.  Great experience here.  I rate it 100/100.

Thank you Barry for you and all the good feedback!

This was a great place to stay, Miki was incredibly helpful and communicative, notably in helping me on my way in. The place is great, super convenient and peaceful. The overall Hacienda iguana is very pretty and easy to venture into. Thank you Miki and family for this great stay.

Miki’s Place was a great stay. The house has a complete kitchen and all the appliances are brand new. It is walking distance to the beach so going to and from the beach is easy. I will def be coming back. Jared

Nos parecio muy bueno es una casa con espacios privados ,muy relajada y tranquila optima para salir de stress rutinario de trabajo ,miki es muy amble, sonriente buena anfitriona ,esta accesible siempre sus hijos me parecieron muy trabajadores y amables estan pendiente de todas las areas de la casa ,para que se mantenga todo en armonia con el ambiente , regresaria nuevamente con alegria Gracias a todos

If you’d like to work from (the beach) home or get away from the city for a week or weekend, this is the place to be. Great location, great host and great amenities. Will return.
