Popoyo, Terazza Getaway - nomad paradise - Houses for Rent in Las Salinas, Rivas, Nicaragua

Had a relaxing stay here. The hosts were accommodating and friendly and the property itself was incredible. The workers were super nice as well! Will be coming back

Great stay, would suggest to anyone who doesn’t want to be in the main town and prefers a more private tranquil vibe. Zivile was extremely helpful along the way answering the few questions that I had promptly. To add on the restraunts in the immediate area are very affordable and provide some of the best food you’ll ever eat! Overall if you’re looking to stay in the guasacate area I suggest staying here, you will not regret it!

Thank you so much Shawn!!!! And yes true about the restaurants and the house ☺️ happy holidays! We hope to host you again soon.

One of the most amazing Airbnb that I have been to So relaxing.

Thank you ☺️ we love that you found us! We look forward to hosting you again in the future

The house is perfectly situated in an oasis. The garden on the property is stunning. The house is clean spacious with a beautiful kitchen. It’s incredibly well priced and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to spend time in popoyo relaxing and surfing.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful property. Nestled on a serene 2.4-acre organic farm with mango trees, lemongrass, and banana plants, we were surrounded by nature. The property was well-appointed for our family, with a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bedding, and a water filtration urn. We were even visited by the hosts’ friendly dogs, who made our stay even more special. The patio deck’s flowering plants attracted colorful butterflies, and we often saw orioles and woodpeckers in the nearby trees. The location was fantastic—just a short moto ride down Calle Guasacate, where we could easily cross the river to reach the Popoyo break. Other spots like Santana Beach, Magnificent Rock, Beginner’s Bay, and Outer Reef were approximately 25 to 35 minutes away, depending on the spot. We did have a minor issue with ants due to an unsealed window, but it was insignificant compared to the many positives. We would definitely return to this peaceful and well-located gem!

We had a very pleasant and quiet stay in the house managed by Zivile. She is super friendly and offered many and very good local recommendations. The house is very nicely decorated with simple and functional style but with taste and has a guard at night. It's a little secluded and secluded from everything but a 7 minute drive to a good beach and good restaurants and cafes. We would have liked to be able to enjoy a pool and hot water in the bathrooms so we gave a 4 instead of a 5 but it has a lot more good things that can be improved

Tuvimos una estancia muy amena y tranquila en la casa que gestiona Zivile. Ella es súper amable y ofreció muchas y muy buenas recomendaciones locales. La casa está muy bien decorada con estilo sencillo y funcional pero con gusto y tiene un guarda por las noches. Está un poco aislada y apartada de todo pero a 7 minutos en coche de una buena playa y buenos restaurantes y cafés. Nos hubiera gustado poder disfrutar de una piscina y de agua caliente en los baños por eso dimos un 4 en lugar de un 5 pero tiene muchas más cosas buenas que mejorables

Thank you for your note Javier. I will definitely chat with the owners about a hot water heater as that would be a nice touch for the colder months here. Pool - yes it’s super nice to have 😊 it’s a bigger add on that some owners chose to not have. It’s a personal preference, but I totally agree with you. This house would be even more lovely with a pool right outside. We look forward to having you back at this or our other rental properties.

We stayed at this beautiful and cozy home in Las Salinas for 3 days. Three adults and a 3 year old toddler. The home is tastefully decorated with modern and rustic design with touches of native elements. Loved the local blue tile and local wood furniture. Comfy beds, linens & blankets. The A/C & water pressure was great. Filtered drinking water & basic cooking utensils are provided. Plenty of games to play with family or friends. A groundskeeper and or security guard is always on site and the property is gated. The home is close to the main paved road but there is a short drive on a dirt road. SUV recommended and 4x4 during rainy season. Zivile was great with communication prior to and during our stay. She made it a point to greet & welcome us to the home. The home was spacious and very well maintained. Overall great!

We had a very pleasant week, both the beauty of the place and the popoyo area with its beautiful beaches, restaurants and people who live there! we were very well hosted by the hosts (Zivile, Micheal and the caretakers of the estate, especially Alex) all we were available and facilitator of our stay, we highly recommend!

Nous avons passé une très agréable semaine, autant la beauté des lieux que du secteur de popoyo avec ses magnifique plages, restaurants et gens qui y vivent! nous avons été très bien accueilli par les hôtes (Zivile, Micheal et les gardiens du domaine, en particulier Alex) tous on été disponible et facilitateur de notre séjour, nous recommandons fortement !

I recently had the pleasure of staying at an absolutely stunning Airbnb that completely exceeded all my expectations. Nestled on a peaceful hill overlooking the breathtaking coastline of Guasacate, this beautiful house offered the perfect blend of comfort and tranquility. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the serene sounds of nature and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The house itself was impeccably designed, featuring spacious rooms adorned with stylish decor and large windows that framed the incredible views. Waking up to the sight of the ocean was nothing short of magical! The location was ideal—just a short drive to the amazing surf and beach life that Guasacate is known for. We spent our days soaking up the sun, enjoying the surf, and exploring the local culture, all while knowing we had a cozy retreat to return to. One of the highlights of our stay was the fresh food and fruit available on-site. We indulged in delicious tropical fruits every morning

The listing is beautiful and as described! Kitchen in fully stocked and I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Las Salinas. A few things to note–I was without electricity 3 of my 7 days. This is not Zivile's fault, but it meant that I had to work in town one of the days as the back-up battery had also died. I spent more time/money in town as I couldn't cook in the dark (gets dark right at 6pm) and didn't have reception at the property. Without having a backup generator, this is a risky choice for working remotely during the rainy season. My additional electricity charge was nominal, but if you are using the A/C at all you will incur additional charges. If I had electricity every day my costs would have been ~$50. I was surprised there is a night guard who watches the property and a grounds keeper during the day. As a solo female traveler I initially had reservations, but they were both very friendly. While the property is private, I was rarely 'alone'.

Zivile' place was great for our stay in Popoyo. Very clean (except for a bout of ants ) but they responded immediately to remedy the situation. Alex the gardener was very friendly. We enjoyed our morning talks with him after he tended to Mary and Joseph. It would be nice to provide a few more towels. Thank you Zivile and Michael.

The place is beautiful and very quiet. My girlfriend and I found the perfect place to live a month and work remotely. It's a little further from the beach, but it's pretty good on a motorbike (with racks for surfboards!). A big thank you also to the caretaker Alex who was a good man throughout the stay. I recommend it!

Le logement est magnifique et très tranquille. Ma copine et moi avons trouvé l’endroit parfait pour y vivre un mois et travailler à distance. C’est un peu plus loin de la plage, mais ça se fait assez bien en moto (avec racks pour planches de surf!). Un gros merci aussi au gardien Alex qui a été un bon-vivant tout au long du séjour. Je recommande !

We really enjoyed our stay with zivile! She was super nice and helpful, communication was top as well. The house was beautiful and calm. We couldn’t have been happier :)

Great place in Popoyo area. Super safe, great staff and friendly/responsive host. Would definitely recommend.

One of the best experiences and stay has been. Highly recommend

Ha sido una de las mejores experiencias y estadía. Muy recomendable.

Our stay was excellent. The location, the house and the impressive views met all our expectations. We would definitely recommend it!

Unser Aufenthalt war hervorragend. Die Lage, das Haus und die beeindruckende Aussicht erfüllten alle unsere Erwartungen. Wir würden es ohne Zweifel weiterempfehlen!

Zivile’s place was as described and her communication was always responsive. We appreciated the remoteness and peaceful environment while being 10-15 min drive from the surfing and restaurant spots. Zivile recommended a few destination for us and Alex was amazing, proactive and shared a lot of knowledge with us.  He made a difference.   We found it to be of great value and we would definitely return.

Zivile and her partner played a great role as a host. They gave us a lot of local recommendations and were able to respond and help us very quickly when needed. The house was very clean and well equipped. The gardener (Alex) was super-sympathetic, gave us a great welcome, and was a great help at home throughout our stay!

Zivile et son conjoint ont joué un rôle formidable en tant qu’hôte. Ils nous ont donné beaucoup de recommandation local et ont su répondre et nous aider  très rapidement en cas de besoin. La maison était très propre et bien équipée. Le jardinier (Alex) a été super-sympathique, nous a donné un superbe accueil et a été d’une grande aide à la maison durant tout notre séjour!

We had a beautiful and relaxing stay at Ziviles gorgeous property.   Only 5 minutes drive to the town, beach and tide pools.  Make sure you get pizza at Viento Este and the Mono Loco frozen chocolate banana drink at Dutchies deli.   The house is up in the hills just off the beach and covered with all different kinds of food bearing plants and trees.  The groundskeeper will tell you all about it.  It’s very quite and serene but town is close for when you want to be social!

My partner and I loved staying in this newly constructed home!!  It was a wonderful place to  stay and recharge.  It was very close to the Beaches, Restaurants and main road yet extremely remote and peaceful.  I really enjoyed spending time on the front deck with a lovely  view of the property and valley.  My personal favorite experience was waking up to this view from my bedroom every morning through the large picturesque windows.  :)  The home was cool and comfortable to stay because of the tall lofted ceiling, we barely needed to turn on the A/C.  The internet was fast and reliable so I could continue to work remotely as needed.    The Gardner was extremely friendly and he would leave us Freshly picked fruit and eggs in the morning from the property.   The Host Zivile was extremely friendly, helpful and responsive!  I highly recommend visiting Popoyo and staying in this home. We'll definitely be booking a longer stay next time!    *****!

Thank you so much for staying with us! We look forward to seeing you again very soon!

A perfect stay in the hills just 5 minutes drive from the beach. You can tell a lot of thought and love went into designing, building, and furnishing the property. The owners planted a food forest on the property. There are mangoes, papayas, almond cashew and many more. There's a bush that you can cut thr leaves off and saute. Tastes just like spinach! Manuel or Alex the caretakers love to show you the property and teach you all about Nicaragua and its plants. They'll even leave eggs and fruit from the land on the porch in the morning

Nice place in the rolling hills. I would return.

We loved staying at this amazing new house. Even though we booked very last minute on the day it was posted on Airbnb and the house wasn't completely finished yet (there were no curtains yet), it's obvious that it's up to European standard and decorated with love. The kitchen is fully equiped with everything you might need to cook a healthy meal with friends. The beds we're very comfortable and the view from the upstairs bedroom is wonderful. Alessandro who takes care of the beautiful garden was very friendly and welcoming. He even brought us a fresh papaya from the garden on our first morning.
