Casa California/ modern ocean view - Houses for Rent in San Juan del Sur, Rivas, Nicaragua

It is an excellent option to enjoy and rest, a spectacular view, safe area, surrounded by nature!

Es una excelente opción para disfrutar y descansar, una vista espectacular, zona segura, rodeada de la naturaleza!

Gracias Carolina . Acabo de pintarla el mes pasado y poco a poco la mantengo como se puede pero los elementos son bárbaros en Nicaragua

- The house has no walls, and there is an alley to go out to the main street, with 4 teenage girls you can't leave them alone in the pool. - Room 4 is a service room, with a bunk bed, not with two beds as the description said, super small and uncomfortable, with a strong smell of mold. We didn't stay because we had no choice for the dates, but if we had known, we wouldn't have rented. - We stayed 4 days, 3 nights, 9 people and they only gave us 1 roll of toilet paper per toilet, with few sheets (because it was cheap). After the first 7 hours we had to buy more, because they told us that they didn't have any more, even though we had paid for 3 nights. - The caregiver enters without warning, with teenagers and girls in the house, this should not be done. - In the description they should warn that it is not a house for the elderly, people with disabilities and children under 8 years of age because of all the stairs that have to be climbed and descended.

- La casa no tiene muros, y hay un callejo para salir a la calle principal, con 4 adolescentes mujeres no se puede dejarlas solas en la piscina. - La habitación 4, es un cuarto de servicio habilitado, con una litera, no con dos camas como decia la descripcion, super pequeña e incomoda, con olor fuerte a moho. No quedamos porque no teniamos opción por las fechas pero de saberlo no alquilamos. - Nos quedamos 4 dias, 3 noches, 9 personas solamente nos dieron 1 papel de baño por inodoro, con pocas hojas (porque era del barato), a las primeras 7 horas tuvimos que comprar más, porque nos dicen que no daban más aun fueran 3 noches pagadas. - El cuidador entra sin avisar, con adolescentes y niñas en la casa, esto no se debe hacer. - En la descripción deberían advertir que no es una casa para adultos mayores, personas con discapacidad y niños menores de 8 años por todas las escaleras que hay que subir y bajar.

La casa es bastante abierta con vistas al océano y a la naturaleza. La seguridad de nuestros clientes es importante y por eso Bayardo mi cuidador esta pendiente para lo que se necesite. En la pagina de mi casa se describen los cuartos y el cuarto # 4 es pequeño y si tiene un camarote (son dos camas) y duermen dos. Es obvio que agua para tomar, papel higiénico , etc se proporcionan para la llegada de los clientes, no para todos los días que están en la casa. Por ultimo, el tratar con respeto a todo el mundo, incluso empleados es algo que se aprende en el hogar y desgraciadamente creo que no les enseñaron bien. Saludos

I booked last minute and Richard made it happen for us real grateful

Everything is very good with the house and its workers

Todo muy bien con la casa y sus trabajadores

The view is incredible , everything is as seen in the photo , it is not very safe to go with children through so many stairs without railings . The caretaker is always attentive but also on several occasions he was found inside the house when he returned

La vista es increíble , todo es como se ve en la foto , no es muy seguro para ir con niños por tantas escaleras sin barandales . El cuidador está siempre al pendiente pero también en varias ocasiones se le encontró dentro de la casa al volver

Casa California in San Juan del Sur is an absolute gem. The property is stunning, with beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. The staff (Petrona and her husband) is friendly and accommodating, making sure every need is met. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-appointed.

Very nice place beautiful house good time in family and friends

Thanks Cesia! I will make sure the bathroom upstairs does not clog /: The dogs unfortunately I have no control but thanks for your nice gesture.

The house is beautiful and has a beautiful view me ecanto🙌🏽

La casa es preciosa y tiene una hermosa vista me ecanto🙌🏽

Everything is great with Richard. He is always available and very helpful.

Todo muy bien con Richard. Siempre está disponible y de mucha ayuda.

Excellent place. My second time at home California and everything clean and tidy. Richard is very friendly and responds quickly to messages. Don Bayardo's hospitality was excellent.

Excelente lugar. Mis segunda vez en casa California y todo limpio y ordenada. Richard muy amable y responde rápido los mensajes. La hospitalidad de don Bayardo excelente.

Like positive points: The view is beautiful! The pool is great, and the foosball and table at Ping Pong entertains a lot The location is very good, as it is close to downtown and in turn is a private place Very friendly and accessible with good communication, we appreciate the stay. As points to note If you are looking for something related to the internet, contract it on your own since the wifi is not good, to the owner I suggest a stronger router so that the signal reaches the entire house, still the megas are very few. The house is beautiful but I do not recommend it for children or for older adults since having 3 floors there are a lot of stairs, less if they think to have drinks 😅 Not pet friendly so we leave pets at home 🥲 And the detail of paying the electricity is always negative but we saw that there is a lot in Nicaragua We found it a little expensive compared to other options that we couldn't get by booking late but in general it was good. 👍🏼

Como puntos positivos: La vista es preciosa! La piscina es genial, y el futbolín y la mesa de Ping Pong entretiene mucho La ubicación es muy buena, ya que está cerca del centro y a su vez es un lugar privadito Muy amables y accesibles con una buena comunicación, agradecemos la estadía. Como puntos a tomar en cuenta: Si busca algo relacionado a internet, contrátenlo por cuenta propia ya que el wifi no es bueno, al dueño le sugiero un router más fuerte para que llegue a toda la casa la señal, aún así los megas son muy pocos. La casa es bonita pero no la recomiendo para niños o para adultos mayores ya que al tener 3 pisos hay muchas escaleras, menos si piensan pasarse de tragos 😅 No es pet friendly por lo que dejamos las mascotas en casa 🥲 Y el detalle de pagar la electricidad siempre es negativo pero vimos que se da mucho en Nicaragua La hallamos un poquito cara con respecto a otras opciones que no pudimos conseguir por reservar tarde pero en general estuvo bien. 👍🏼

We felt at home, the spectacular place with a great view, the pool in great condition, and an ocean and Christ view.   Perfect for anyone who wants to go by and create family moments. We recommend it and without thinking we would rent this beautiful house again.

Nos sentimos en casa, el lugar espectacular con una vista genial, la piscina en excelente condiciones y una vista al mar y al Cristo.   Perfecto para quien quiera pasar y crear momentos familiares. Lo recomendamos y sin pensarlo volveríamos rentar esta hermosa casa.

Ok gracias Jose. Siempre fumigamos pero en la época de calor es peor.

Beautiful views, great location, quiet,  very nice overall.

Very good location, Richard and his person in charge were always pending any request.  The house is very well located and we felt totally safe during the stay.

Muy buena ubicación, Richard y su persona encargada estuvieron siempre pendientes de cualquier solicitud.  La casa está muy bien ubicada y nos sentimos totalmente seguros durante la estadía.

The host was very friendly and attentive. The house was clean and had plenty of amenities

El anfitrión fue muy amigable y atento. La casa estaba limpia y tenia bastantes amenidades

We stay from Friday to Domingo, the facilities are excellent and they have all the amenities that are in the photos, beautiful view and it is a 7 minute drive to the village of San Juan. Always respond quickly and attentive to any doubt

Nos quedamos de viernes a Domingo, las instalaciones son excelentes y tienen todas las amenidades que están en las fotos, vista hermosa y se encuentra a 7 minutos en vehículo del pueblo de San Juan. Siempre responde rápido y atento ante cualquier duda

Yes, we liked the location. It was beautiful and the house was beautiful. Only thing we were a little unsatisfied was electricity. We had to keep an eye to make sure we didn’t go over. We did have to pay but luckily it was not that much but everything else is great, and they were very responsive. The beach was only 10 minute walk away but I recommend go with good shoes to go walking. If not, you can drive. Everything else was great. 😉

We loved our stay at Richards! The house is beautiful and well kept. Very spacious and Richard was quick to help us with any issues. We recomend this place.

Beautiful location and very affordable for the amount of people! The pool was great and it was nice to sit in the chairs on the balcony and enjoy the view and all of the birds!

The house is quite spacious, perfect for large groups, it is actually 3 floors, it has a very nice view! However, the house needs maintenance. They should also place photos of the road to get to the house because it's not for cars.   If you want to walk downtown it's a bit long and it's not safe to walk at night. The best way is to walk along the beach. The description does not state that the electricity payment must be made in cash and it was something that took us by surprise. The caretakers of the house are friendly and live at the same time but several times they entered without permission.

La casa es bastante amplia, perfecta para grupos grandes, en realidad es de 3 pisos, tiene una vista muy linda! Sin embargo, la casa necesita mantenimiento. También deberían de colocar fotos de la carretera para llegar a la casa porque no es para automóviles.   Si desean ir caminando al centro es un poco largo y no es seguro caminar de noche. La mejor forma es caminar por la playa. En la descripción no se indica que el pago de la luz se debe de hacer en efectivo y fue algo que nos tomó de sorpresa. Los cuidadores de la casa son amables y viven a la par pero varias veces entraron sin permiso.

Gracias Triana! Si van a caminar al pueblo, lo pueden hacer por la playa la cual es segura pero no recomendaría hacerlo por la noche debido a que en Nicaragua (igual que CR) tiene muchas ratas. El pago de la Luz te lo indique al momento de rentar la casa. La excusa a la hora de pagar fue "no tenemos efectivo". Yo recomendé que fueran al pueblo a sacar $ y que volvieran a la casa a hacer el pago. Por arte de magia, salieron $60 de los $70 que debían y cancelaron ahi mismo. También quebraron la pata de una cama la cual le cobre a Triana y pago ($20) puesto que no hizo gestión de querer pagar cuando me indico que habían quebrado la pata de una cama, que por cierto, es nueva la cama. Tiene menos de un ano. En fin, creo que a pesar de unos malos momentos la mayoría fueron buenos en mi tierra. Saludos

The house is located in a beautiful area. It takes 10 minutes (2 miles) driving to SJDS downtown and 1 mile walking through the beach. The house is huge but needs a lot of maintenance including painting, doors repair, kitchen furniture among others. At the end they charged me 0.5 US dollars for each additional KWh consumed when it just cost 0.18 by the utility company. It was really weird since we only use three rooms and we only turned on the AC at night. Recommend if you want rest and have a beautiful ocean view. The pool was really good.

we had a pleasant time, everything was very good, very quiet and private, excellent view, Richard is an excellent host, my daughter had an unforgettable birthday, in the company of her friends

pasamos momentos agradables, todo muy bien, muy tranquilo y privado, exelente vista, Richard es exelente anfitrión, mi hija paso un cumpleaños inolvidable, en compañía de sus amigas

It's an excellent, quiet place, the caretaker is very friendly and helpful, we all had a great time, otherwise everything was great, the group had a great time and the views are beautiful, we'll be back.

Es un lugar excelente, tranquilo, el cuidador muy amable y servicial, todos la pasamos genial, por lo demas todo genial el grupo la paso super bien y las vistas son hermosas, volveremos.

It would be great if you could fix the driveway to the house. Otherwise,  everything is fine. Thank you

Sería genial que arreglen el camino de acceso a la casa. Por lo  demás todo bien. Gracias

Gracias por tu visita! La casa esta ubicada en una colina y hay dos calles con acceso. Una de tierra en muy mal estado y la otra de adoquín en muy buen estado por la cual no se necesita 4x4. Yo subo en carro normal y los otros clientes que he tenido también suben en carro normal y ninguno ha tenido problema. Saludos

The utensils in the kitchen (pots) are old and there are not many

Los utensilios en la cocina (cacerolas) están viejos y no hay muchos

Ok gracias! voy a asegurarme que tengamos buenas cacerolas para los próximos clientes. Saludos

placentera ,solo que la salida es muy temprana

Super beautiful house, we really liked it

Beautiful home!!  The view of the ocean and statue of Jesus is spectacular.  My family and I had an amazing time.

The house is as it is pictured: beautiful with an even more amazing view! Everything was clean and ready when we arrived. I stayed with 12 people, everyone on wifi and we stayed at the house most of the trip and we did not go over the allowed electricity so if that’s what’s making you hesitate don’t worry!

We had such a great family time in Casa California. Beautiful house with a nice pool. I really enjoyed and definitely will come back. Thank you Richard for everything!

The place is in a good location, a few minutes from the village of San Juan del Sur, so you can easily leave for last minute shopping. The place is spacious and very clean, has a very spacious terrace with incredible views and a good size pisicina to spend a pleasant afternoon. Communication with Richard was very fluid as well.

El lugar está en buena ubicación, a pocos minutos del pueblo de San Juan del Sur, así que facilmente se puede salir para hacer compras de última hora, El lugar es espacioso y muy limpio, posee una terraza muy amplia con una vistas increibles y una pisicina con buen tamaño para pasar una tarde agradable. La comunicación con Richard fue muy fluida también.

The house has a beautiful view of the ocean and the Christ of Mercy. It rests very comfortably and the pool and play area is great.

La casa tiene una hermosa vista al mar y al Cristo de la Misericordia. Se descansa muy cómodamente y el área de la piscina y de juegos está genial.

Great host, house was clean and very spacious. We had such a great time. Its always a pleasure to stay at Casa California. Thanks Richard, Bayardo and Petrona for everything. Looking forward to stay next time.

Super recommend Casa California, spacious, comfortable and with a beautiful view

Súper recomenda casa California, amplia, cómoda y con una hermosa vista

Casa California, excellent and spacious property, with amenities for guest cars and excellent attention from Richard and his assistants Bayardo and Petrona. My birthday celebration was a hit! I recommend Casa California and will surely return

Casa California, excelente y amplia propiedad, con amenidades para carros huéspedes y excelente atención de Richard y sus asistentes Bayardo y Petrona. Mi celebración de cumpleaños fue todo un éxito! Recomiendo Casa California y seguro que regresaremos

Excellent communication, the house is spacious and with great views and above all a quiet atmosphere.

Excelente comunicación, la casa es amplia y con grandes vistas y sobretodo tranquilo el ambiente.

Richard is an excellent host, always attentive to answer all queries. Her house has an excellent location, is safe and has everything you need for the comfort of the group. The managers are great people and were always attentive to us. We had an excellent end of the year enjoying all the comforts of the house, with the pool being the center of activities. We would definitely come back.

Richard es un excelente anfitrión, siempre atento a responder todas las consultas. Su casa tiene una excelente ubicación, es segura y tiene todo lo necesario para la comodidad del grupo. Los encargados son excelentes personas y siempre estuvieron pendientes de nosotros. Pasamos un excelente fin de año disfrutando de todas las comodidades de la casa, siendo la piscina el centro de las actividades. Sin duda volveríamos.

The house is located approximately Near the beach perfect for people who love walking. It’s kind of uncomfortable and you need a pin to locate the house. Perfect for family groups. The only bad thing is the maintenance and cleanliness that needs to be addressed. Pool is great and many games.

This is my third time staying at Richard’s property and as always, everything was amazing! I look forward to staying at this great place again in the future.

Super clean beautiful house! Fast response from Richard. Would recommend.

Very communicative. Their response times are almost immediate. As for the house, Mr. Bayardo is very polite and attentive. All top notch.

Muy comunicativo. Sus tiempos de respuesta son casi inmediatos. En cuanto a la casa, el señor Bayardo es muy educado y atento. Todo de primera.

The house is very nice and fully equipped.

La casa es muy bonita y está completamente equipada.

Great place to spend your time relaxing near the beach and have a swimming pool at night to enjoy the view!

Very good experience. The best part is the view 👌

Muy buena experiencia. Lo mejor la vista 👌

Everything was good, the view, the house was clean and everything funcional, and the service was great. Would definitely recommend if want to have a good time with family.

The property has a beautiful view, the pool is clean but it could be better, one of the rooms was a bit moldy (you could smell it just entering the room, other than that Richard is very and let us check out at our convenience, overall we're satisfied.

Hi Darwin ! Thanks for your review. I really appreciate it! Which room was not looking or smelling good? so I can let my caretakers know and clean it well. The pool gets cleaned everyday but with the winds in Nica and being surrounded by trees and dirt , it is very hard to keep it "spotless".  Thanks again

It is a fairly complete house, with a spectacular view and has everything you need to not worry about anything, just to enjoy your stay!

Es una casa bastante completa, con una vista espectacular y cuenta con todo lo necesario para no preocuparse por nada, solamente de disfrutar de la estadía!

We had a great time here at casa California, the house was beautiful, table games are available for use such as ping-pong and Foosball. Your daily electricity consumption is 40KWH. We used 120 KWH, which seemed pretty excessive and considering how much we paid, We had to pay an additional $37. Other than that, it was a great stay. Be prepared it can get hott.

Thanks for staying with us and for taking the time to write a review!! I appreciate it! Electricity in Nicaragua is very expensive. We provide you with 40KWH when you rent the house (which I think is not expensive at all given the fact that we take 14 people and charge $300 per night. 300/14 + 21.4 dollars per person per night. That's pretty cheap for what you are getting. Check the pics out :) If you go beyond that amount of 40 KWH we charge $ 0.45 per KWH extra. In your case you were over 80 KWH , therefore 80X0.45= $36 extras..... NOT BAD considering you probably ran the ACS day and night without turning them off at all. Next time, maybe leave the rooms and enjoy the ocean or pool more and you will see that your electricity bill will be low. Hope to see you again, Saludos   Richard  '

The house is very spacious and comfortable, the pool 10/10. It was a pleasant stay. And Richard is very friendly and agile in his response.

La casa muy amplia y cómoda, la piscina 10/10. Fue una agradable estadía. Y Richard muy amable y ágil en sus respuesta.

A la orden Mariale!! Me da gusto que hayan disfrutado. Los esperamos en SJDS!!!

Very nice house, a fairly spacious place, it has a play area and a breathtaking view.

Casa muy bonita, un lugar bastante espacioso, tiene zona de juegos y una vista impresionante.

This is my second time staying at this beautiful house. Everything is great about this location. You won’t regret your stay. Richard is an excellent host and his house never disappoints!

I am very happy to see that you guys had a great time!! Thanks for visiting and we hope to see you back soon.

Had a great time with friends! Very spacious and accomodating house for a large group! Incredible view from all the floors and rooms in the house. The pool area is great for relaxing with friends. The rooms are nicely decorated and clean. Everything worked properly: bathrooms, electricity appliances.

Huge house with a gorgeous view in a great location. Loved it.

Nice house, very good care of the caregivers, they do not get in with one, the owner is very friendly, accessible, very happy, I hope to return

Linda casa atencion de los cuidadores muy bien, no se meten con uno el dueño muy amable accesible muy contento espero volver

House is pretty amazing! Very close to town.

The house is beautiful and has a beautiful view and an excellent game room, we had the best time and the caretaker Bayardo was very helpful, his attention was also excellent, the pool was phenomenal too. I recommend them all.

La casa es hermosa y tiene una bella vista y una sala de juegos excelente, la pasamos de lo mejor y el cuidador Bayardo fue de mucha ayuda, su atención fue también excelente, la piscina estuvo fenomenal también. Se las recomiendo a todos.

Gracias Arnoldo! Espero verlos por Casa California pronto!!

It was amazing, the stairs are an issue and also the dirty mattress.

Hi Alexandra, I don't think I can do much about the stairs (the house is three stories) BUT the dirty mattress I can replace. Which one was dirty? Thanks again for visiting Richard

Excellent host. Very clean and beautiful house. We will definitely be back again. Thank you so much for everything.

Excelente Host. Casa muy limpia y hermosa. Definitivamente regresaremos de nuevo. Muchas gracias por todo.

House is beautiful, big and it has everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. The View is absolutely gorgeous and neighborhood is quiet. Richard is a great host and caretakers are nice. My family and I had a great time staying here. I definitely recommend it.

Amazing views, Huge house, tons of room and fun! Well worth the stay!

Great house with awesome views. Not far from restaurants and night life, easy to grab a cab. Would be back!

Just book it please. This place is simply spectacular, and the host is amazing.

Excellent location, wonderful view, the house is very clean and tidy. We had a luxury weekend. 

Excelente ubicacion, maravillosa vista, la casa bien limpia y ordenada. Pasamos un fin de semana de lujo. 

Very nice house with an amazing view of the San Juan bay and the Christ statue at the top of the hill (recommend going up there to watch the sunset). The kitchen has old fridges, but they do the job very well, there's even a smaller fridge that is great for beers and drinks so you can use the other one just for food. Bedrooms were clean and beds were comfortable, bathrooms as well. The pool area is terrific, just the right amount of sunshine and the pool was cleaned every morning by the staff. The game area right next to the pool  (ping pong and foosball tables) is a very fun place, it also has a small "bar". There's a small supermarket with the basics right down the hill, and the local couple that takes care of the house us always there and ready to help, but they won't get in your way if you don't want them to. Didn't get to meet Richard personally but everything worked out perfect, he was always in touch and responded to questions the same day. The house is about a 5 min drive from town, you definitively need a car to go to the beach though, Would definitively consider renting this house again!!

It is a very nice house, ideal for spending time as a family with all necessary amenities. We stayed 11 people and everyone was very comfortable.

Es una casa muy linda, ideal para pasar en familia con todas las comodidades necesarias. Nos hemos quedado 11 personas y todos muy cómodos.

A place with a very beautiful sunrise, a nice place to spend with family and friends; a very beautiful view of the bay of San Juan del Sur.

Un lugar con un amanecer muy hermoso, bonito lugar para pasar con la familia y amigos; una vista muy bella de la bahia de san juan del sur.

Richard's home is very ample and cozy. Just minutes away from the beach by vehicle. We had a great time. 

La casa de Richard es muy amplia y cómoda. A sólo unos minutos de la playa en vehículo. La pasamos muy bien. 

Beautiful, great location, and spectacular view. I definetly recommend this house. Thank you Richard.

Amazing stay in the house, it was more than what we expected, I clearly recommend it !

The host canceled this reservation 16 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

My friends and I were delighted with Richard's house, it is fully equipped, it has many details that make your stay unique, the view is great and we are planning to return. I definitely recommend it for groups of friends, Richard is a good host as well as his staff. 

Mis amigos y yo quedamos encantados con la casa de Richard, esta totalmente equipada, tiene muchos detalles que te hacen la estancia única, la vista es genial y estamos planeando volver. Definitivamente lo recomiendo para grupos de amigos, Richard un buen anfitrión así como su personal. 

Richard has an amazing home and is incredibly easy to communicate with. He responded to my inquiries in a very fast turnaround time and he is very honest and straightforward. Richard goes above and beyond as a host! The home is everything we expected and ten times more than that! The home is HUGE and the view is breathtaking. There are medium sized speakers on each floor which allows you to have your get together to any area or simply relax in all areas with the music you enjoy the most. The pool was perfect. I would write more about Richard's home and his hospitality but I would end up writing a full essay on all the perfect beauties of the home. If you are reading this review, don't overthink it. As long as you have a vehicle to get to his place and do not have babies or toddlers (dangerous due to the stairs), deciding to stay at Richard's home is a no brainer. I will be sure to plan my trips in San Juan at Richard's home every time I visit San Juan del Sur.

Thanks Irlanda! I am glad you had a good time and hope to see you back in San Juan del Sur soon!

HI Marco, thanks for the feedback. First time i hear anything disappears at the house after several years these caretakers have been with me. In the past, when things go missing other client's same "friends" have been found to take things from each other. I will ask my caretakers and also re-inforce cleaning in the kitchen. Thanks!

Casa California was a dream come true. Very spacious, beautiful views, fun pool, gracious groundskeepers, great communication with Richard. Walk to town and stores nearby, everything is within reasonable reach. 

Richard's place is a real gem, it actually takes less time to walk into town than to drive. The pool and the view are stunning. Hammocks, lounge chairs, a foosball table and ping pong. We had a blast & it was a great place to lay our heads at the end of a long day of surfing. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

The house has an excellent location 15-20min walking from the center. Excellent ocean view, the beach is a 10-minute walk. Very good option for groups of friends or families or families has a lot of space.

La casa tiene una excelente ubicación a 15-20min a pie del centro. Excelente vista al mar, la playa queda a 10min caminando. Muy buena opción para grupos de amigos o familias tiene mucho espacio.

A very nice house and the care of the staff is very good. The internet (wifi) does not work perfectly. But that detail doesn't hurt our vacation. I recommend renting this house.

Muy bonita casa y la atencion del personal que la cuida es muy buena. El internet (wifi) no funciono a la perfeccion. Sin embargo ese detalle no daño nuestras vacaciones. Recomiendo alquilar esta casa.

We had a awesome experience. The property was better then it looks in pictures. The caretakers were very nice and made sure that they turned on the generator as light went out at 1am. Will definately be back for more then one night on my next trip to nicaragua.

Place was sick!  Bigger than the pictures.  We all loved it and would rent again.  Good communication, great location, everything worked out perfectly 

My family and I loved our staying in Richard's place. We all had a great time
