3BR house in Granada

Stylish 3 BR home with pool - Houses for Rent in Granada, Granada, Nicaragua

We loved staying at Casa de Luz. Kristen was very easy to reach, and we were able to extend our stay by one day without any complications. The pool was wonderful and the rabbit is very cute. We will be happy to come back!

Uns hat der Aufenthalt im Casa de Luz sehr gefallen. Kristen war sehr gut erreichbar und wir konnten unseren Aufenthalt unkompliziert um einen Tag verlängern. Der Pool war herrlich und das Kanninchen ist sehr süss. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

After 30+ AirBnB stays, hands down this was our favourite.  An absolute oasis and even better in person.  Conejo the bunny is so amazing, friendliest little guy, it was so fun to have around.  The place is absokutely beautiful and Kristen which such a fantastic host.  Without a doubt we would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The location was excellent, and the home itself was well maintained, charming, and very comfortable. The property manager was also very kind, responsive, and accommodating throughout our stay. The only suggestion I have is to make the listing more explicit about the steep concrete steps leading to the property. They were manageable for most of us, but they were quite challenging for my 74-year-old mother, and we were concerned about the possibility of her falling. Guests with mobility limitations or older family members would likely appreciate knowing this in advance. Other than that, we had a wonderful experience. The house bunny was such a delightful surprise and quickly became a favorite for everyone in our group. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Meyling, I’m sorry your mother had some difficulty with the steps, there were 2 photos of the exterior of the house that clearly shows the steps. So, maybe you just missed seeing those. But, I have taken your suggestion and included it in the description as well. Thank you again for choosing Casa de Luz and I’m glad you and your family enjoyed your stay!

Kristen was very responsive and the house came with a pet bunny!! we enjoyed our stay!! definitely will be back in Granada again…

This home was so so pretty!!!  It was perfect for our large family.  It was our 1st time in an Airbnb and Kristen made it so pleasant.  She gave us tons of recommendations.   I would recommend her beautiful home to anybody.  With that being said, expect bugs and rodents as they are just part of Nicaraguan life.  Oh and the pool was uber refreshing.  There is a lady that comes to clean but she only came one time while we were there and it was the day before we left.  The location was so perfect. This is not for someone with mobility issues because you have to be able to get into the home which is elevated.

It was our second time staying at Kristen’s place, and we absolutely love it there. The space is large, beautiful, and full of relaxing areas to unwind. The kitchen is especially wonderful — spacious, well-equipped, and perfect for cooking at home. The bunny is adorable and adds such a comforting, homey touch to the experience. Local street vendors came by every day selling the freshest organic produce, and it was only a short walk to the center of Granada. We truly cannot wait for our next stay.

Beautiful house, even more beautiful than in the pictures! It is tastefully decorated with a lot of originality. We absolutely loved spending time in this unique place with its two charming patios.

Magnifique maison encore plus belle que sur les photos! Elle est décorée avec beaucoup de goût et d’idées. Nous avons adoré passer du temps dans ce lieux atypique avec ses deux patios plein de charmes.

This was a beautiful stay and a lovely home. The bunny was as so friendly and it was a great pool that was a bit shaded after 2pm. The location was very walkable and Kristen was very responsive.

The location is incredibly nice and authentic, decorated by someone with creativity and taste. The pool is wonderful, and we found the décor very beautiful. Within walking distance, you will find the city’s main attractions, restaurants, banks, and supermarkets, and the islands are also within easy reach. A very good location.

De locatie is ontzettend leuk en authentiek, ingericht door iemand met creativiteit en smaak. Het zwembad is heerlijk en we vonden de inrichting erg mooi. Op loop afstand vind je de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden van de stad, restaurants, banken, supermarkten en ook de eilanden zijn snel te bereiken. Een zeer goede locatie.

I felt like I was home, Kristy place is just how the pictures are. The bunny was super friendly. Yarelis was super sweet & very informative.

Casa de Luz is fantastic! Great location and walking distance to everything. Very unique property! Highly recommend!

Gorgeous home. Great location. Lovely staff. Comfy beds. What more can you ask for?

This was the highlight of our three stays in Nicaragua. The layout and decor of the house was beautiful, the kitchen was beyond our expectations, the pool was perfect and clean. And most of all, the kids LOVED the bunny :) He was so friendly and sweet. Kristy & Yarelis were fantastic to work with, they were so quick to respond and very helpful in navigating parking, laundry, etc.

Casa de Luz was the perfect place to spend 10 days at the beginning of our month long trip to Nicaragua. So well equipped, stylishly furnished and aesthetically pleasing, we really enjoyed our stay. The kids (10 and 5) loved the pool, the rabbit and the mango tree! We appreciated the choice of places to sit, artful crockery and the quiet location. Kristy’s photos and info tell you all you need to know and Yarelis was brilliantly helpful as well as keeping the place spotless throughout our stay. We feel lucky to have been able to stay in this beautiful home. Thank you Kristy.

Beautiful and spacious, and we loved the pool!

Great place to stay when you’re in Granada . The pool was so nice Place is so much nicer than what the pictures show. And there’s a house bunny “bad bunny” was adorable. I’m going to miss her .

Fantastic stay! Super easy to get to and from the airport. The home is set in a traditional Nicaraguan neighborhood with plenty of gyms, shops, and local flavor all around. It’s also within walking distance to the main center, markets, and everything you might need. Bonus: made friends with the resident bunny who’s a big fan of watermelon. 🐰🍉 Kristy was an amazing host — always easy to reach, and her home is absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend! .

This was our second trip to Granada and Kristy's place was a great place to stay! Everything is within easy walking distance. The place is just as described and maybe even better than the pictures. The pool was wonderful and way deeper than expected. We didn't cook as there are too many nice restaurants nearby, but the kitchen was very nice and appeared to be well equipped. The house manager was on site for our check in and only a text away if we needed anything. We definitely enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Kristy's place!

An excellent option for family outings. The house is much nicer and more comfortable than what you see in the photos. I highly recommend it.

Una excelente opción para pasear en familia. La casa es mucho más bonita y cómoda de lo que se ve en las fotos. La recomiendo totalmente.

We stayed at Kristy's place for three nights (family of 5 - kids 4, 7, and 9). The pool is a welcome respite from the heat, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The open-ness of the home means that there is a level of dirt/dust that is unavoidable. The beds and bathrooms (linens and towels included) are all clean, though. There was some malodor in the bathroom, but again, likely due to the nature of the amenities in Nicaragua. Kristy mentions this in the listing, and she's not kidding - there are lots of city noises to be heard, even in the night (music, cars/buses) and early morning (dogs, roosters). Kristy was super helpful, as was Dora, the driver! Both were communicative, responsive, and helpful with questions/requests. The location is great - restaurants and shopping areas are all within walking distance. Oh, and the bunny! My kids LOVED the bunny - sweet touch! It was a great stay, overall; we recommend!

Kristy’s place was lovely & spacious. Location was convenient and you could walk to various restaurants. Communication with Yarelis the house manager was seamless. She was always helpful and friendly. Kitchen was well equipped. Lots of space for young children to play. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you Kristy.

We loved our stay in Kristy's beautiful, spacious home.  Everything about it was welcoming and comfortable.  The plunge pool was especially appreciated after a long, hot day of touring the area.  Communication was a breeze and always friendly, helpful, and immediate.  The house manager, Yarelis, was delightful and very patient with our later than expected arrival.  Unfortunately, we were too busy touring to use Kristy's tips on the vendors who pass by, but we did enjoy the terrific restaurants that are nearby.  All in all, we loved Granada and Kristy's house was the perfect place to stay.  Highly recommended.

Casa de Luz was the perfect place for our weekend in Granada. Kristy’s place is lovely, spacious and clean. We loved hanging out there, and cooking off in the pool. We particularly enjoyed all the great art and the bunny! Thanks for a lovely stay in a beautiful country 😊

Kristy's place is a beautiful property filled with art and soul. We have never stayed in a similar place before and it felt magical! There were 5 of us, and we could barely hear each other as the property is huge. We loved the combination of the indoors and outdoors.

this place is truly great. it's a quiet Oasis right in the middle of Granada close to all the amenities and walkable everywhere. The pool is really great to cool down during the hot daytime after exploring the city. housekeeping stuff was there to check us in and to our surprise they came in several times during our stay for full clean. Thus keeping the place very clean. one thing to be aware for people with reduced mobility is that it's hard to go up several steep steps from the street. The steps can be seen in the photos. in conclusion, this is a really great place to stay and explore Granada with Kathy being an amazing host.

Beautiful hidden paradise. Very roomy property with multiple living spaces, peacefull and zen, calm neighborhood. Friendly and helpfull host !

Kristy’s place is a beautiful respite from the busy city. The home is full of personality and art. There’s an excellent cooking kitchen, a relaxing pool for soaking and a sweet bunny who loves papaya. The open air of the house feels great until the mosquitos come out. Don’t forget mosquito repellent! But retreating to a lovely, cool bedroom is a great antidote. The location is great—it’s an easy walk to the main street and the neighbors are so friendly. We loved our stay.

The thing that our kids will remember first is the resident bunny.  The kids nicknamed him "Robin Hood", and couldn't stop giving him pets and fruit.  Even our 2 year old loved the bunny.  For the adults: it's great that there is so much do to in the home for the kids.  I can't remember our kids not using electronics this little in a very long time.  For parents, you can't ask for more.  The location is better than described in the listing.  It's literally just a block from everything.  Granada is such an intricate little town that you can't go wrong with just exploring.  As an American, you will be surprised on how far the dollar will go here.  With high inflation at home, it's nice that I was able to treat my family of 6 to dinner at a restaurant for less than $100.  In fact, we often ate for less than $25.  Kristy has so many contacts: her host will greet you and the fruit couple visits each morning and MANY more.  It was just an amazing experience for my kids from their norm.

Thank you so much Kara, I appreciate the time and consideration you took to write this thoughtful review. I’m so, so happy you, your husband and your kids had such a meaningful experience. The bunny will surely miss you all greatly!!!  Please try to return for another visit in the future😊 and know you will always be welcome!

Very nice stay!  We could walk anywhere. The restaurants were so amazing. We loved the private pool and the open space was nice.  Very responsive host.  The town is so lively and fun.

really a beautiful house, more beautiful than in the pictures. We arrived in the middle of the night but were so nicely taken care of. A lovely kitchen where we liked to be and a fantastic pool. We felt very pampered, this house is worth every penny.

echt een mooi huis, mooier dan op de foto's. we kwamen midden in de nacht aan maar werden zo fijn opgevangen. Een heerlijke keuken waar we graag waren en een fantastisch zwembad. We voelden ons erg verwend, dit huis is elke cent waard.

Lovely place.Amazing host.Loved the bunny she spent lots of time with us.House is unique...a true paradise close to the historic area. I highly recommend it!

Casa de Luz is the best place to stay in Granada. First the property is amazing, very well furnished and super clean. The pool is always appreciated after a long day exploring the area. Beds are comfortable and rooms well isolated so you can have a good sleep. Once inside the house, it feels very private little paradise. You’ll see and heard birds, lots of plants and flowers, and the lovely little rabbit ! It is a easy walking distance from the downtown but also far enough to feel the Nicaraguayen vibes. Sellers passing in the streets, kids playing soccer, is common in this area. The beach is also less then 2km aways ( I was jogging back and forth everyday ) I’ll definitely recommend to anyone visiting Granada. Kristy was an amazing host, always responding my messages in less then expected time.

The house is super nice and leaves nothing to be desired!

Das Haus ist super schön und lässt keine Wünsche offen!

Spacious place, nicer than photos! We would definitely come back

Lugar amplio, es más lindo que las fotos! Definitivamente volveríamos

This is a beautiful house in Granada. We loved staying, especially the bunny and the kitten.

This was hands down the most beautiful airbnb I have been to. Personally I think the flat is even better than the pictures. The place is very spacious, clean and full of beautiful art and tasteful interior. The pool is great to escape the city and there is plenty of room to spread out to as a group. The kitchen is equipped with anything you may need but we only used it for breakfast :) there is a tiny extremely cute kitten and a white adorable rabbit, which was fun for us adults too haha. Kristy was very flexible with check in & check out times. We highly appreciated this. Can recommend 100%.

Thank you SO much Judith! You made my day with your glowing review! I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay, next time you’ll have to stay longer:) Also, I’m the artist of the paintings in the house, and the prints are made by local people in Granada, thank you for taking your time to notice and comment on them, this means a lot to me🖤

An amazing Villa in Granada. It is so spacious than you see in the pictures. Beautiful decorated and the pool area perfect for hang out with drinks any time! Will definately stay at the Villa if I return to Granada with friends!

Everything as in the description. Price - performance is right. In itself, you can walk to everything from here. The neighborhood is super nice and friendly. In itself, you are part of Nicaraguan life and close to Lake Nicaragua. Was a great stay.  Casa de Luz can go through as a boutique Casa. Everything as in the photos very tastefully decorated.

Alles wie in der Beschreibung. Preis -Leistung passt. An sich kann man von hier aus alles zu Fuß erreichen. Die Nachbarschaft ist super nett und freundlich. An sich bist du Teil des nicaraguanischen Lebens und nahe am See Lake Nicaragua. War ein toller Aufenthalt.  Casa de Luz kann als Boutique Casa durchgehen. Alles wie auf den Fotos sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet.
