300m to beach/center: 2 bedr-2 bath & great views! - Chalets for Rent in San Juan del Sur, Rivas, Nicaragua

Great value for the location and views. Charming place with a lot of character. Highly recommend!

The house is very well located, very close to downtown and with a great view of the ocean. The terrace is incredible. Everything went really well. I'm glad to come back

La casa esta muy bien localizada, muy cerca del centro y con una super vista al mar. la terraza es increible. Todo se paso super bien. Volvere con mucho gusto

Great place to stay, the large outdoor patio had a great view and was a great place to relax

I can’t say enough about this beautiful location. It’s rustic and natural and perfectly located. If you want a real Nicaraguan experience in a beautiful chalet style with the most incredible deck overlooking the harbor, this is your place. I enjoyed every single minute of it. It’s probably not for people that like a super squeaky clean modern environment. Not that the place isn’t clean because it is. It’s just a bit more rugged. I loved it and I would go back in a minute. It’s very affordable as well.

WoW! A memorable Airbnb, good location, with splendid views and an exceptional host. Thank you Jan-Luc!

WoW ! Un Airbnb mémorable, bien situé, avec une vue splendide et un hôte exceptionnel. Merci Jan-Luc!

A rare, affordable find that had stunning views, privacy, and the most amazing wrap around private patio. The property is fairly unassuming when you enter yet then you realize you’ve discovered a private tropical paradise. The few steps required to get there are nothing compared to the views and the chatter of the Pacific Parakeets at sunset. Great location to town and to beaches. Jean Luc was a great communicator and Fernando and Rebeca (on site) were so kind. I would stay here again in heartbeat!!! Strongly recommend Casa Lobotepe as thats the rental with the best private balcony and breathtaking. be aware … during holidays there were lots of parties and fireworks surrounding the property. The noise didn’t come from Jean Luc’s property but from the neighborhood. Couple of times water went off and one or two short bouts of no electricity. Nothing hugely inconvenient. Host shared it was a lively time of year in advance. Not a complaint just an FYI. Strongly recommend!

Beautiful home with stunning views! Very large and hot water shower. Everything is close by: beach, restaurant, market etc. However, on weekends, it gets a little noisy in the evening with the music from restaurants and bars. Otherwise, I would 100% recommend it!

Beau logement avec une vue imprenable ! Très grand et douche eau chaude. Tout est à proximité: plage, restaurant , marché etc. Cependant la fin de semaine, ça devient un peu bruyant le soir avec la musique des restaurants et des bars. Sinon , je recommande à 100 %!

Great place & wonderful people! Would definitely stay here again!

Great place for the money you pay. It could be a little cleaner, but the view and the space make up for it. Would recommend.

You have to be there to fall in love of Lobotepe, while it looked rustic it felt cozy and with character! plenty of space in the apartment. The view gorgeous and it’s around the hill so is cool all day! I absolutely loved it, I would live in Lobotepe

Dont think, just book it. Away from the center madness but still 5/10mn walk to all you need (restaurants bars, etc..) , best view in town, a little piece of heaven.

Amazing views from the terrace and close to nature!

Definitely recommend this place! Great location, beautiful view and great communication with the host! Also felt really safe, there was a night watch which Jan Luc gave us the contact for. Would definitely recommend!

Great views! very central location in town. Spots for parking. the patio is amazing!!!

Amazing place, beautiful balcony, quick walk into town. Highly recommend. Tom

What a wonderful place to stay. Awesome house, great verandah. Very helpful guardian, and nice and secure. Generally quiet apart from the many dogs in the area. We couldn’t hear the bars in town, but on Friday night we did encounter VERY loud music from 2am till 3am coming from the harbor area.

The perfect place for groups of 2-4 to stay in SJDS. The home is clean and peaceful, yet still only minutes from all the action. Highly recommend.

Very nice place, especially the balcony with beautiful views.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft, besonders der Balkon mit wunderschöner Aussicht.

Casa Lobotepe was amazing. Walkable to town and yet very private with a view. I loved casa Lobotepe! The porch is priceless, lots of space to enjoy the view en relax. I wish I could have stayed longer. Thank you Jan-Luc!

Such a beautiful space. The balcony and view were incredible. Loved how is was so close to everything but also not in the heart of the town.

Casa Libotepe was a great stay for us. Beautiful view, the outside porch is awesome and was perfect during the rainy season. It was beautiful to watch the rain and have so much dry outside space. Bedroom was awesome with a huge opening onto the porch, made for beautiful sleep and rain sounds. We loved being able to walk to town, very convenient. Would stay again without hesitation in the future.

Of all the places I have stayed in San Juan del Sur East is my favorite from now on, very quiet a super view of the bay even though we were at sea in the place it is not hot since due to its location it makes a wind that cools a lot would not end if it will describe so many nice things that I felt those 3 days that I was there. I recommend them they have to go and enjoy it.

De todos los lugares en los que me he hospedado en San Juan del sur este es mi favorito de ahora en adelante, muy tranquilo una súper vista a la bahía a pesar que estábamos en el mar en el lugar no hace calor ya que por su localización hace un viento que refresca mucho no terminaría si describirá tantas cosas agradables que sentí esos 3 días que estuve ahi. se los recomiendo tienen que ir y disfrutarlo.

Magical place and so close to everything. Will definitely stay again

Amazing view, in a huge house.  Highly recommend.

There were a couple of issues when I checked in, but Jan-Luc was super responsive and we came up with a solution quickly. The house is large and spacious and gets the most incredible ocean breeze. The deck is HUGE! And has a wonderful ocean view. I spent almost all of my time here. The kitchen is large and well stocked. I hadn't been left any cleaning sponges or tea towels, but the caretaker brought them as soon as I asked. The location is perfect and a very short walk to the beach, but far enough away that it's not excessively noisy from the bars. The bed and pillows are really comfortable and good water pressure in the shower. Also, the best wi-fi I had in my six months in central America. Wonderful house for some r&r and hammock time.

Came back for a second time because the quality, comfort, view, and price are simply unbeatable. We look forward to making this our spot when we come to town in the future. Double thumbs up, hands high👍👍

Private and in the tree tops, yet just a short walk to everything you need. Evenings were accented by visits from playful kitties and mornings serenaded by flocks of chocoyos . Kitchen is perfect for cooking and has everything you need to make a delicious dinner. Rooms and bathrooms were as pictured and perfectly comfortable. Kind, easy-going folks looking out for the people who stay here. I miss it already

The place is very nice and comfortable, the people are very kind and always pending, the location is very good, it is very close to the beach without being in a very busy area, the views are incredible. Our recommendation is with respect to exterior maintenance, what is the park and common areas, we saw it a little neglected.-

El lugar es muy bonito y comodo, las personas son muy amables y estan siempre pendientes, la ubicacion es muy buena, esta muy cercano a la playa sin estar en una zona muy transitada, las vistas son increibles.Nuestra recomendacion es con respecto al mantenimiento exterior, lo que es el parque y zonas comunes, lo vimos un poco descuidado.-

Jan Luc provides a great experience, he could compartmentalize his house like many others,  but instead opts to give the full open spacious experience. Plenty of space if you are traveling in a group for privacy and comfort. Jan luc also has exceptional staff on site at all times whom are very kind and helpful, and will recommend excellent options for food and activities. No wonder it is a challenge to book his residence on short notice.

We had an absolutely amazing time here. The Airbnb is absolutely beautiful and the perfect location. Fernando was so incredibly helpful in helping us schedule a taxi as well.

Great location and lots of space, very comfortable to hang out in with great views

Very nice house with amazing view and very helpful stuff (Fernando)

Even more beautiful than the photos! the views are unbeatable. cozy yet spacious and very  peaceful .would absolutely recommend the cabanas Lobotepe . Jan Luc and the caretakers on site were always very helpful and responsive and we felt right at home. Also, wifi is super fast!

Nice accommodation in a nice environment with a beautiful view. Slight clutter in the apartment when we arrived but worries quickly settled by the staff.

Logement sympa dans un environnement agréable disposant d'une belle vue. Léger désordre dans l'appart à notre arrivée mais soucis rapidement réglé par le personnel.

beautiful apartment in a very central area!!

bellissimo appartamento in zona molto centrale!!

Seldom are the views of an Airbnb better in person. This was one of those times. The location is UNBEATABLE. As a digital nomad (doing this for the first time!) We loved the fiber optic internet, it was literally faster than our internet in Boston. The hammock is the most comfortable thing in the world, and we will be back.

Super nice chalet with a fantastic view from the huge terrace. We really enjoyed the time there and Jan-Luc was a great host!

Super schönes Chalet mit einem traumhaften Ausblick von der riesigen Terrasse. Wir haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen und Jan-Luc war einer großartiger Host!

I love this place! The cabins are beautiful, well equipped, very good WiFi, hot water (which most places here don't have..) There is a nice breeze and a great view from up here, and being a few blocks away from the noisy town of SJDS is great IMO. The owner and the staff are all amazing, caring people. I highly recommend.

Our stay was absolutely a dream. Not only is this a stunning place (even better than the photos), Jan-Luc was an incredible host who accommodated us in every way. Could not have asked for a better experience.

I had very good days in San Juan and enjoy with my friends the nice view of Lobotepe. We are staying for one more and how we are working, the internet was always very good and the house has space and comfort to work. We were also very well received, with plenty of hospitality by Jan-Luc and Dennis. The neighborhood is just not so good, because it has a lot of noise at night. But I think it's a city thing, there are a lot of parties and dogs barking at night. Besides that everything was very good!

Tuve días muy buenos en San Juan y disfrute con mis amigos de la linda vista de Lobotepe. Quedamos por un més y cómo estamos trabajando, la internet estuve siempre muy buena y la casa tiene espacio y comodidad para trabajar. También fuimos muy bien recebidos, con mucha hospitalidad por Jan-Luc y Dennis. El barrio solo que no es tan bueno, porqué tiene mucho ruido por la noche. Pero creo que es una cosa de la ciudad, hay muchas fiestas y perros ladrando por la noche. Además de eso fue todo muy bueno!

If visiting San Juan del Sur, Lobotepe gives you the peace you need. Amazing views from the 180○ porch (ONLY FOR YOU). The living room area it's nicely blended with the kitchen area and it is very spacious. The views from the windows from each bedroom are just stunning. Location is pretty safe and close to everything :) Be mindful of water shortage at times, so make sure you ask for that upon arrival. I will fully recommend this place to anyone looking for some relax while being in San Juan del Sur.

Thank you for the nice review Nadir! We did have a water problem when you were there, but this is a rare situation: we have 5 watertanks and a reservoir in order to maintain an extra amount of water in case there is no water in the street.

What an amazing view!!! Access to the restaurants and beachside by walking everyone around was super friendly! If you don't mind geccos, lol!!!! We surely don't

Lobotepe is close to all amenities and the beach. Very nice caretakers. Great views of the bay.

Jan-Luc's place is a great value with a great view! If you are looking for somewhere walkable to everywhere in town, it's worth it. We enjoyed the hammocks & view of San Juan. It does get a little noisey with the animals at night in this particular area of town but that's also Nicaragua and out of the host's control. Would recommend for a group of friends travelling!

What a marvellous place! We stayed two weeks in the house and had an absolutely amazing time. Jan-Luc is great host who made us feel very welcome. The house itself is very spacious, well equipped, and has a lot of charme. It is less than 10 minutes walking distance from the center of the town. We did not expect to find a house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms for that price in a place like SJDS. The huge terrace with sea views was the cherry on the cake! All thumbs up and many thanks to Jan-Luc!

Everything is great, as described. We enjoyed our time very much.

Alles top, wie beschrieben. Wir haben unsere Zeit sehr genossen.

A very nice rustic cabin with an amazing view. It's very well situated as you can walk down into the main part of town or the beach in a few minutes. Very good wifi and lots of room. The only real relatively minor thing I would mention is that the area the home is in (like many other areas in San Juan I think) has quite a few stray dogs which can tend to bark a lot at night sometimes so that may bother some people when trying to sleep. But of course this is entirely out of the control of the Airbnb owners so it certainly isn't a slight on them, but just something to be aware of when staying in certain parts of San Juan del Sur.

Great location, great house with an amazing view. Kind neighbourhood, for extra security there is even a guard. Would definitely recommend!

Great location within walking distance to lots of good food and bus station. Jan-Luc was very responsive and helpful. The view and wrap around deck were amazing!

Wonderful view of the bay, couldn’t get enough of the strong and consistent breeze flowing up the hill, the patio was expansive. The hammocks one of my favorites all time

We were a group of 5 and Jan-luc’s house was perfect for the festive period. Amazing location with great views overlooking the beach and town, both within a 5 minute walk. The house has a rustic charm with a large outdoor area perfect for dining and evening cocktails and/or to simply relax in the hammocks during the day. The only slight criticism would be the cleanliness of the room as there was a stain on the bed and it didn’t look like the sheets had been changed on one of the beds and secondly it was quite noisy with the music from town banging out into the early hours, however, it was Christmas and New Years so this may not be applicable all year round. All in all, we would highly recommend this place, a lovely rustic charming property which we felt was very good value.

San Juan Del Sur changed my life and it wouldn't have happened without such an incredible location. You won't find a better view without paying 3x the price.
