Casa Tortuga - Beautiful Home in Rancho Santana! - Houses for Rent in Tola, Rivas, Nicaragua

Casa Tortuga is as described in the photos. A very clean house. Everything you need. Comfortable beds. Air-Conditioning all around the house. Smart TVs, equipped kitchen. Beachfront at La Boquita in Playa Rosada. The only drawback that the listing doesn't mention is that there is a construction site right next door. Which is uncomfortable because of workers watching, noise before 8 am, etc. You should put it in the ad because if I had known, I would have rented another house. Everything else was very good 🙌🏻

Casa Tortuga es como se describe en las fotos. Una casa muy limpia. Todo lo necesario. Camas cómodas. Aire acondicionado por toda la casa. TV inteligentes, cocina equipada. Frente a la boquita en playa rosada. Único inconveniente que no avisa el anuncio es que hay una obra en construcción justo al lado. Lo cual es incómodo por obreros mirando, ruido desde antes de las 8am, etc. deben colocarlo en el anuncio porque de haberlo sabido rentó otra casa. Todo lo demás muy bien 🙌🏻

Great house with incredible view thank you

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Tortuga.  The home is brand new and well appointed with everything you need for a stay at Rancho Santana.  With three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms it's the perfect spot for a family or a few couples.  The pool, and ocean and sunset views, are a dream!
