Lakefront Luxury at Casa Tuani - Houses for Rent in Masaya, Nicaragua

We had a great time at Casa Tuani.  Overall great experience.  The Laguna de Apoyo is a beatiful place.  I have come here many times for the last 30 years.  First time at casa Tuani.   My family and I enjoyed the house, the spectacular view, the kayaks and of course the lagoon.  Thank you Todd and to your team that were all helpful and friendly.

Please do not hesitate to book, as soon as the front door opened our jaws dropped to the floor.  This is luxury at its best!!! We are so fortunate to have found such a wonderful villa❤️

Fell in love with this place! Definitely would book again!

One of my favorite spots I’ve ever been to. I’m so glad this was my first stop in Nicaragua, I feel everyone should experience it. Everything looked exactly like the pictures, sparkling clean, and the view is unmatched. A perfect stay, perfect host, and everyyy detail makes it feel so unique and personal. A home you’ll love and want to return to!

Peaceful house by the lagoon.  Very relaxing

If I could give Todd and his place more than 5 stars I would. Highly recommend! Checking in was super easy & flexible. Alvaro met us at the front to let us in, helped us with our bags, & showed us around. Both him & Todd were always readily available, super helpful, and responsive. The place is beautiful — lots of nature, kayaks included, lake accessible, and very peaceful and private. It’s also a short car ride away from Granada & Masaya. Todd provided us with local cab driver #s. Above all, Todd was extremely reliable. He responds in a timely manner and is very helpful. I had gotten hurt when I did an activity (not on the property). He was so kind & generous in helping me. That action meant a lot for me because it’s difficult when you’re far from home and hurt. I would love to return and would choose this AirBNB again. I even recommended it to my friends & family because I know it’s a safe and beautiful place with a great host and people like Alvaro & Henry. Thanks again, Todd!

This stay was amazing! The views are unbelievable and the property is very quiet despite being on the beach. We found the accommodation very secure and the housekeeper extremely attentive and helpful

Everything nice and cozy. Beautiful and pleasant view of the lagoon. The house is very well-equipped, stylish, and modern.

Todo lindo y acogedor. Vista preciosa y agradable de la Laguna. La casa muy bien equipada, elegante y moderna.

Hands down one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed at. Todd is nothing short of a super host. Could not recommend the lake house more !

Beautiful place! indoor-outdoor feeling was unique. very comfy! kayaking was a great bonus!

Absolutely amazing! We loved our time at this magical oasis. Highlights include watching a troop of howler monkeys play in the trees next to the deck, sighting a pigmy owl, enjoying a solid nights sleep in the comfy bed and quality, fully-stocked kitchen. We travel to Laguna Apoyo frequently and this was the most comfortable accommodation to date.

Incredible. A must! Todd was an excellent host — very responsive, communicative, and accommodating from the moment we first connected weeks before our trip. The home itself was immaculate, beautifully designed, and extremely comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped, the linens/bed were so comfortable, and the bathroom and shower were fantastic. Everything was thoughtfully provided — beach towels, kayaks, and more. The setting is peaceful and stunning. The lake here is crystal clear and calm, and we loved seeing monkeys and birds around the property. The compound feels very secure and private, and it’s walkable to great restaurants. Todd recommended Casa Marimba and we loved it. A ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stay — we can’t wait to come back.

Como se dice “100/100” This house was beyond our expectations.  Todd is quite literally the BEST host we have ever had. His help, his recommendations, his kindness made our ENTIRE trip just so beautiful and amazing. The house is terrific, amazing restaurants within walking distance. The beautiful amazing refreshing Laguna de Apoyo.  Unequivocally, this is a must see and do for all of Nicaragua. Thank you Todd from the bottom of our hearts.

The house is a wonderful retreat space. Great view, nice kitchen, comfy, restaurants nearby, well-run. Highly recommend.

I would leave Casa Tuani 6 stars if I could! The home itself is gorgeous- it has everything you need and thought has been put into every design aspect. And you can’t beat the surroundings and area - we loved watching the birds in the mornings from the deck, the Laguna is right there and so lovely to swim in. Plus we could walk through the water over to the restaurant next door. And there’s another great restaurant just a short walk down the road. Todd is a fantastic host- very friendly, helpful and communicative. Would recommend this listing 150% and would love to one day return!

Nothing short of paradise. Terrace faces the most beautiful view of the Laguna and you can walk down the steps to swim in pristine waters or take out the kayak. Todd is an amazing host. He is proactive, instantly responsive, and very kind. He arranged massages for us in the unit and had lovely recommendations. Alvaro the groundskeeper is a treasure. So sweet and helpful. And don’t forget to say hi to Tofu, the dog on the property.

This is a special house - the location couldn't have been more peaceful or perfect. The incredible lake views, the howler monkeys in the trees right at our deck, the easy access to swim in the wonderful lake...it was all great. We also really enjoyed having two establishments nearby that we could swim to....Abuela is fantastic if you have kids...it has slides directly into the lake and also into a pool, and a full restaurant and bar. Great family activity. And Cacique on the other side is convenient as well. The house is very comfortable - the main area is open air, and the bedrooms are nicely air conditioned. We took advantage of the chef offer and highly recommend it - Carla is a gem of a chef and a human. Finally, Todd was a fantastic host - he was super helpful and available...and he helped get our fridge fully stocked with groceries for Carla to cook. He also picked up extras for us like batteries & bug spray. Highly recommend this airbnb!

Todd’s place was amazing.  The amenities are fantastic.  We felt right at home.  We swam in the lake everyday, we went kayaking when the lake was calm.  The view from the terrasse was our favorite feature.  Todd was very responsive and made sure we were welcomed and taken care of.  Alvaro, the groundskeeper was always available to help.

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Laguna Apoyo. The house was absolutely perfect, spacious, peaceful, and filled with those breathtaking lake views that make you stop and just breathe it all in. Everything was comfortable and thoughtfully prepared, and it truly felt like our own little sanctuary. Todd was an amazing host. He was kind, responsive, and genuinely cared that we had a great experience. His local tips and easy communication made everything smooth and relaxed. If you’re looking for a serene escape with stunning scenery and a fantastic host, this is the place. We would absolutely stay here again!

Todd is definitely one of the best hosts we have experienced in our travels. He has great recommendations and makes you feel right at home. I highly, highly recommend this Airbnb. It has beautiful views and a lot of room to just relax and enjoy. If you want to visit Granada and Masaya, they are 30 minutes away.

We had such an amazing stay at Todd's place, we didn't want to leave. The property is gorgeous and laguna de apoyo is such a peaceful, beautiful setting. We could see howler monkeys each morning from the balcony and so many beautiful birds. Todd went above and beyond, getting us an infant crib for our stay, and the groundskeepers Alvaro and Juan Carlos were so helpful and kind. 10/10 stay, we would come back in an instant!

The place is very well designed and equipped.    It is perfect except for the neighboring bar that played load music from time to time- but not late and for no more than 3 or 4 hours. I was staying at the home on a Friday and Saturday night though.   Weekdays may be quieter.    I have stayed there before and will again.

El Cacique RESTAURANT is next door and most of our guests find the fact that they deliver right to the Villa very convenient. Indeed, on Saturdays and Sundays (during the day) they can get busy and you can hear noise. This restaurant closes at sunset however, so at no time is there noise during the evening- and in fact Monday through Friday during the day its usually quite tranquil as well.

Todd and his staff were incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived. Everything was absolutely perfect – the space was spotless, beautifully set up, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Their attention to detail and warm hospitality made us feel right at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend staying here to anyone visiting the area!

Awesome stay, a beautiful location on the lake. Host has kayaks available. Not sure how I landed here but it feels live heaven. 100% recommend for your stay in Nicaragua

One of the best houses in Laguna de Apoyo. Todd and Alvaro were attentive, responsible and very friendly hosts. The house is amazing, the views and access to the lagoon are privileged. We'd definitely love to come back soon.

Una de las mejores casas en Laguna de Apoyo. Todd y Álvaro fueron anfitriones atentos, responsables y muy amables. La casa es increíble, las visas y el acceso a la laguna son privilegiados. Sin duda nos encantaría volver pronto.

Where do I begin? The place itself is even better in person and super luxurious. The view is absolutely stunning and the local wildlife is amazing. Todd was super helpful, friendly and responsive. We got in super late but Todd had arranged transport and stocked our fridge given that there are no stores super close by. The beds are very comfortable. Keep in mind the place is pretty remote with only a couple of restaurants close by but I think that’s what makes it so special. The security and staff at the villa were great and always helpful. Loved the dogs too. We will be back as this was one of our favorite Airbnb stays ever. Paradise is not an over statement!

We loved our stay! The home, location & lake were so lovely. A few things to add that might help others. The driveway from the road down to the gate doesn’t look like a driveway. It’s got a very high curb, so we bypassed it at 1st & had difficulty turning around. Be aware that as you turn off the road & down into the (very steep) driveway, you climb over a pretty high curb. Owner said a 4 wheel drive was not needed- we felt it was. The restaurants next door & down the road closed at 4:30 when we were there. Good to know as there is nothing else close. Definitely go to the main grocery store that’s 30 mins away before you go - Todd told us, but I saw “pulperias” all over on the map & thought convenience store type things for snacks/drinks. Nope. Mainly roadside stands (shacks) not open. Our fault but passing it on. Also, the restaurant next door delivery literally wades thru the lake to deliver & don’t speak English. Yelling only worked sometimes. Be prepared if you are there w/no car.

Thanks again for staying Michelle. As I informed you before you arrived the municipality was in the process of paving the road the week you were here which might make entrance a little "tricky" - but for future guests that's been completed. As for nearby restaurants, there are 3 within walking distance. There is El Cacique, which is directly next door (accessible by the road, or along the water, or you can shout out Woo Hoo Hoo from the balcony and a waiter will come take your order. If they are open, they will come. But yes, they close early. We also have La Abuela as our neighbor on the other side (there is a consumables minimum), and Casa Marimba (a popular favorite) just about an 8 minute walk away. Indeed we have no grocery store here, which is why I always suggest to guests that they stop at La Colonial market in either Masaya or Granada, depending on where they are coming from - or I also am happy to shop for guests and prestock the Villa with food and drink.

We spent two wonderful and relaxing weeks on the pristine shore of Laguna de Apoyo. This beautiful location boasts clear geothermal water, no motorized boat traffic, and is surrounded by lush forested hills. The house itself offers easy access to the lake for swimming and kayaking, with beautiful views from the covered balcony and living area. The kitchen is well-equipped, and we were incredibly fortunate to have Carla, an excellent local cook, prepare delicious vegetarian meals during our stay. The house is also well-ventilated, and the air-conditioned bedrooms kept us cool and comfortable at night. Todd was an exceptional host, incredibly responsive and attentive to every detail. From arranging transport and booking massages to organizing catering and providing a wide variety of local recommendations, he truly made our stay effortless and memorable.

If you've ever dreamt of staying at a luxury nature lodge with modern comfort, amazing view, privacy, and tranquility (with a bonus of super attentive/most helpful host), this is it!!! Look no further! Casa Tuani was just perfect. I would honestly love to return here and would highly recommend this place to all of my loved ones. It was paradise on earth! The house itself and all the details are gorgeous and thoughtfully designed. With the ACs and fans in the bedroom, the rooms cool really fast and you wouldn't believe that you are in a hot/humid jungle/nature! Hot + clean water throughout, fully stocked kitchen and bathroom, comfortable in/outdoor furniture under multiple fans to keep everything pleasant. I don't know how, but they do a great job of keeping the bugs away even in the open air living room and kitchen. Lagoon easily/directly accessible through a few flights of stairs (not bad even at all!) and Alvarro carries the kayaks down/up for you. The host is the most helpful.TY

Our stay was so nice and relaxing. We had the best hospitality from Todd he made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. Great restaurant’s were right around the corner. The Lagoon was right down the stairs with its own private beach and a place to relax in the sand. It was one for the books. Thank you again and can’t wait to come back.

Awesome place. Quiet and relaxing. Loved the lake

This place is magic. The views, the property, the accommodations are incredible. We loved our stay. the indoor/outdoor kitchen and living space was perfect. The fans throughout the space keep it cool and the bugs away. There is a restaurant next door which is very convenient, and a lodge of some sort “La Abuela” that has water slides and a restaurant, that you can get a day pass to. Todd was very helpful, informative and answered questions before we had them. Will absolutely be back!

We got in late with two small kids. Todd had the place stocked with groceries for us and arranged for our transportation from the airport. The place is beautiful. We swam in the lake a ton and were treated to close encounters with Howler monkeys 2 of our 3 mornings there. We cannot wait to return. Todd and the staff were so helpful and responsive. Don’t hesitate!

We had an amazing stay! The accommodation is beautiful and the view is breathtaking. It's even bigger in real life. The villa is huge and very well equipped. The host was great, very friendly and was quick to respond. This place is extraordinary, the Laguna de Apoyo is a must in Nicaragua!

Nous avons passé un séjour incroyable! L'hébergement est magnifique et la vue à couper le souffle. C'est encore plus grandiose en vrai. La villa est immense et très bien équipée. L'hôte à été super, très sympathique et répondait rapidement. Cet endroit est extraordinaire, la Laguna de Apoyo est à voir absolument au Nicaragua!

Todd’s place is one of the best Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed at! The location on the lake is stunning, you feel fully immersed in the jungle around you but with all the comforts you could need (the AC units in the bedrooms  are 10/10). Todd was an incredible host, he was super helpful and responsive, arranged transport for us from the airport, and even got us some groceries since our flight got in late. We will absolutely stay here again when we come back to Nicaragua!

This was the 2nd time Ive stayed in the past couple of months and hands down Todd is amazing at what he does and how willing and helpful he truly is. This is a place that I will always hold close to my heart and continue to come and stay as long as I’m able. The place is a must if you want to unwind and take a break from the hustle of the city.

Absolutely loved this stay. The house is exactly how it appears in the photos. It’s super open and modern. The peaceful sights and sounds of the laguna with the comforts of the house allow the best of both worlds. Easy to walk to multiple nearby restaurants and other swimming spots. Coolest place I’ve stayed in Nica. Todd was super helpful and responsive.

One of the most beautiful Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at!! The view is absolutely stunning, the entire home is so comfortable. Watching the sun go down, hearing the animal sounds into the night was truly paradise. The lake is just a few steps away, the water is clean & clear—I went swimming multiple days. Todd went truly above and beyond as a host to make recommendations and check in during my style. He gave tips on where to go throughout Nicaragua and arranged our taxis and tours. Appreciated that there’s day and night security on site, I felt safe here. There’s also clean water from the faucets, being able to drink clean water is such a luxury. There several cafes that are walking distance. The only hiccup is one night our power went out. There was a loud beeping noise in my room (happens when the wifi is out) Being in a third world country power outages can happen. Luckily, the power came back within a couple hours! Such an idyllic stay, the perfect entry to Nicaragua.

A place of great beauty located in paradise. Perched within the trees and overlooking the serene Laguna with its perfect clarity & ideal water temperature, this spacious and luxurious home is all one could dream of for a peaceful and beautiful getaway in nature. Everything you desire provided with expert care and impeccable attention. Heartfelt gratitude for a 10 out of 10 experience. I am already dreaming of my return ❣️

This place is absolutely paradise -- the house, the setting and the property are perfect.   The view is priceless.  Todd was a top-notch host: responsive, friendly and helpful.  He was incredibly accommodating for us as we were traveling with a toddler.  Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, and AC worked great. We wish we had stayed longer than two nights!

This beautiful house is in a quiet location with sensational views and private lake access. On the large veranda we spent cozy evenings. In the morning we could watch the howler monkey on the tree right in front of the porch. The house offers everything you want, is well equipped and you feel completely comfortable. In the vicinity are pretty and cozy restaurants with the finest dishes. Within walking distance it also has a cafe and small shop. Brilliant is the restaurant next door, where you can order your food with the reputation "woo hoo"🤣. Todd lives close by. He was easy to reach at any time and answered our questions practically without waiting time. When we arrived late in the evening on the first day, Todd even got us some groceries that we were allowed to list him. He is a friendly, straightforward and attentive host. We would book the house again on a next trip.

Dieses wunderschöne Haus befindet sich an ruhiger Lage mit sensationeller Aussicht und privatem Seeanstoss. Auf der grossen Veranda haben wir gemütliche Abende verbracht. Am Morgen konnten wir den Brüllaffen auf dem Baum direkt vor der Veranda zuschauen. Das Haus bietet alles was man sich wünscht, ist top ausgestattet und man fühlt sich rundum wohl. In der Nähe befinden sich hübsche und gemütliche Restaurants mit feinsten Gerichten. Wenige Gehminuten entfernt hat es auch ein Café und kleines Geschäft. Genial ist das Restaurant nebenan, wo man mit den Ruf "woo hoo" sein Essen bestellen kann🤣. Todd wohnt ganz in der Nähe. Er war jederzeit einfach zu erreichen und hat unsere Fragen praktisch ohne Wartezeit beantwortet. Als wir am ersten Tag erst spät am Abend eintrafen, hat Todd uns sogar ein paar Lebensmittel besorgt welche wir ihm auflisten durften. Er ist ein freundlicher, unkomplizierter und aufmerksamer Gastgeber. Wir würden das Haus bei einer nächsten Reise wieder buchen.

This is an amazing place with an incredible view. Very comfortable with the multiple fans and AC in bedroom and you can even wade through the water to get to the restaurant next door. 10/10!

Todd was impeccable and went above and beyond for our stay. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back. Thanks for everything you did to make this an unforgettable experience..

Already talking about our next visit back to this place! Todd’s place at Apoyo Lagoon is breathtaking and so peaceful. He is extremely responsive and helpful-including arranging a taxi to the airport and the relaxing, amazing massage that we had right at the Air BnB. Alvaro also helped us with our bags and ensuring we had everything we needed while we were there. There are restaurants nearby or you can cook with the extremely well stocked kitchen. The house is beautiful and the private swim area, in addition to paddle boards and kayaks, was another plus. Don’t miss this place!!! Thanks for your hospitality!

Beautiful home at an amazing location, a paradise tropical jungle right inside the crater of pristine volcanic lake. Howler monkeys, birds, iguana and an exuberant range of fauna and flora all around us, enjoyed directly from the rocking chairs. Great experience for a family of four, including a teenager. Peaceful and safe, yet fun and lots to do in the lake, including the kayaks provided by Todd. We would highly recommend it to anyone and will definitely come back again.

What a slice of Nicaraguan heaven. Todd and his team were incredible. This place is peaceful, private and a gem in the middle of Laguna de Apoyo. The private swimming area was exactly what we needed and the house was incredibly comfortable. We will be staying again when we come back to Nicaragua.

Casa Tuani is perfect when exploring Granada and Laguna de Apoyo. Stylish, spacious and private. The outdoor kitchen and living room is truly fantastic. Access to the warm waters of the Laguna is quick and easy. Todd is an amazing host, he was very helpful and accommodating. We’re looking forward to our next visit!

My wife and I are seasoned travelers and this is the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at. From the deck we saw many species of birds plus monkeys, squirrels and geckos. The lagoon is a short walk down some steps and we went swimming and kayaking in the warm waters. One of our favorite experiences was sitting around in the evening while a thunderstorm passed through. Todd was extremely responsive and even let me borrow his wildlife guides so I could identify as many birds as possible. The groundskeepers would always help us get the kayaks ready and carry them up the staircase for us when we were done. We wish we could have spent more time here!
