4BR house in Granada

Casa Buena Vida - Houses for Rent in Granada, Departamento de Granada, Nicaragua

Grethell's house is really beautiful with lots of green plants on the inside patio. The swimming pool was refreshing after a day out for activities. We travelled with two families and we fitted perfectly on four bedrooms offered in the house. Three bedrooms having their own bathrooms gave extra addition to our holiday stay. It is well located close to centre of Granada. All small details in the house were beautiful and made the house really cozy. Evelyn took care of check-in and check -out and she was super friendly and responsive, thanks so much for your kindness. I hope you are doing fine! I would definitely come back again and spend another holiday at Grethell's house! Thank you!

I would like to thank Grethell for letting us stay at her beautiful Airbnb in Granada. It was a perfect fit for my family of five…we thoroughly enjoyed the house with pool and lots of privacy. It was very clean and all the amenities matched the description of the advertised listing, and then some. Walking distance to the town center, restaurants and stores was very convenient. My family and I made great memories while staying at Casa Buena Vida and exploring all Granada had to offer. Evelyn and her cleaning staff took great care of us and our needs and was always available when needed. I would recommend Casa Buena Vida to all my family and friends for a private, relaxing, comfortable stay in Granada Nicaragua.

On the second night, our house was flooded because the canoe overflowed, and it wasn't the first time it happened, since those who arrived the next day commented that it used to happen. My personal items got wet, as well as a cell phone that was in a suitcase. Several people couldn't get into the pool because the water was coming out and going into the kitchen and the bedroom. The room facing the street, which is usually the hottest, is the only one without air conditioning, and the fans are not good quality, so the heat is unbearable.

La segunda noche, se nos inundó la casa por que la canoa se desbordó y no era la primera vez que ocurria ya que los que llegaron el siguiente día comentaron que solia pasar, se me mojaron articulos personales como tambien un celular que estaba que estaba en una maleta. en la piscina no se podía meter varias personas por que salía el agua y se metía en la cocina y el cuarto. El cuarto que daba con la calle que suele ser el mas caliente es el único que no tiene aire acondicionado y los ventiladores no son de calidad por ende el calor es insoportable.

On Airbnb, we mentioned that there is no air conditioning in this twin room, so 1 ceiling fan and 2 pedestal fans have been installed. Regarding the pool, there was a tropical storm during those days, with very heavy rains that caused the pool to overflow into the gutters. As a result, the pool drain was not functioning properly due to the high water pressure. We're sorry you had to deal with this inconvenience. Regarding the cell phone getting wet, you only mentioned that only a suitcase that was on the floor had gotten wet. We had no information about your phone. This is out of our hands; it's a natural occurrence. This happened in most houses in Granada.

Beautiful house, my family and I loved it. It's just as shown in the photos; we would definitely come back.

Hermosa casa, a mi familia y a mi nos encantó. Es como se ve en las fotos, sin duda volveríamos

a great place in Granada! we stayed with the kids and it was a blast. wouldn't hesitate to recommend the place.

Very nice house, with lots of different spaces.

Très jolie maison, avec plain de differents espaces

We had a great time as a group of 8 people, the house is beautiful and the pool is gorgeous. The kitchen is super useful. It is very central and feels safe.  we wholeheartedly  recommend the house and would absolutely book it again. Many thanks to the hosts in particular for the quick and super helpful communication, bearing with some hick ups from our side.

My family and I had a wonderful stay in Casa Buena Vida. The pictures don't do this home justice. The pool for the kids was a highlight for them which was always clean and surrounded by beautiful plants.  Excellent and prompt communication with the property manager who was lovely to communicate with.  A bonus was the wonderful house cleaning service. Location was walkable to pretty much everything and on a quiet street. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and recommend to friends and family.

Wonderful house in Granada. Attentive staff.  Had a great stay.

We love staying at Casa Buena Vida. Everyone is helpful and quick to respond. The home itself is beautiful and works great for a traveling family. Thank you!

Great location! Awesome place to stay with family.

Great place in the heart of the city. The house is beautiful and matches the photos and even exceeds our expectations! We highly recommend it!

Super logement en plein centre. La maison est magnifique et est conforme aux photos et même au delà de nos attentes ! Nous la recommandons vivement !

Everything was amazing , will definitely rent again when in Granada

The host was very responsive and very accommodating to our needs. The house was beautiful and walking distance to everything in town. I would definitely stay here again!

The house is exactly like in the pictures. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to return. Grethell was always responsive and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

It was a unique experience, our family enjoyed it very much, the house Buena Vida met all our expectations, both Grethel and Evelyn were phenomenal, I thank them for all the help provided.

Fue una experiencia única, nuestra familia disfrutó mucho, la casa buena vida cumplió todas nuestras expectativas, tanto Grethel como Evelyn fueron fenomenales, les agradezco toda la ayuda brindada.

Wonder family house , cozy and quiet will recommend 100%

An amazing listing, our group has probably used this place 8-12 times over the past two years, highly recommend due to its location, cleanliness and affordability. It has everything you need and the pool is perfect to cool off in the humid Granada!

Everything was excellent! Very friendly and the name of the house "buena vida" describes it perfectly

Excelente todo! Muy amables y el nombre de la casa “buena vida”, lo describe a la perfección

The pics don’t do it justice. Lovely place. Our crew of 8 had room to spare and loved our stay.

Had a awesome time… Granada is one the best city to visit in Nicaragua.. Strongly recommended… Thanks To everyone who made it happen while staying in the house.. Beautiful house Brings back memories Thanks again Gabe

We absolutely loved this house, we were a big group and we had so much fun, this house has lots of open areas where you can sit and laugh. The pool is amazing, it was nice to be able to jump in the water after a hot day. This house is located close to downtown so was very easy to walk to La Calzada, or the church. Lots of stores around. Our host Evelyn was very friendly and nice. She went over all the instructions. FYI you do have to pay for your own electricity so my advice is to turn everything off when you are not in the rooms or when you go out. The floor can be slippery around the pool area so watch out. Thank you so much to Grethell for her help and assistance, she is very nice and responds quick to messages. Thank you for letting us stay at the property and will definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed the stay. place is close to to walk to the difrent places. Host was very helpful and house was clean. Thank you.

Lovely house! We are staying in the house for a month with our teenagers. Pool is a big plus! Everything was well arranged and clean. Cleaning is done 3 times a week. Everything is walkable market around the corner. Cozy restaurant is a 10-minute walk away. We had a nice stay

Heerlijk huis! Wij verblijven een maand met onze tieners in het huis. Zwembad is een grote plus! Alles was goed geregeld en schoon. 3 x in de week wordt er gepoetst. Alles is beloopbaar markt om de hoek. Gezellig restaurant op 10 min lopen. Wij hadden een fijn verblijf

We had an unexpected delay in our arrival and the team was very flexible which we are so grateful for. Aside from that everything is as described and my family and I really enjoyed our stay at Casa buena vida. Kids loved the pool and it was a great way to cool off from the heat. Wonderful and delicious restaurants near by and felt totally safe. Nicaragua is beautiful!

The photos don’t do it justice. Beautiful home that was perfect for our group. We all agreed it was the highlight of our trip to Granada.

Staying at Casa Buena Vida was absolutely amazing! Everything about it was ideal. 1. Location: close to the center and definitely walkable, but also quiet and not in the middle of activity. 2. The house. The house was a little paradise. I didn’t even want to leave the house as it was so comfortable and beautiful it was it’s own retreat. 3. Grethell was a flexible host, who allowed us to extend our visit and was very attentive to anything we needed. 4. The house was immaculate, the pool also. Super clean and spacious. I would like to return with family, and we could each have our own part of the house! I would recommend Casa Buena Vida to everyone who wants a clean, gorgeous, place to stay that is great for families. Air conditioners worked great!!! Loved it so much and can’t wait to return again. Thank you Grethell and Evelyn for the wonderful stay!

We stayed 3 nights at this house and it was amazing, the house is big and beautiful.  Everything was clean and as described.  It was walkable to make shops and restaurants.  Pool was nice and rooms had a/c. Note only 3 rooms out of 4 have a/c but they provide fans for the one without a/c.  It was fine.  Would definitely stay here again.

A beautiful house, very comfortable and spacious you would like to extend your stay 🙂

Una casa hermosa, muy cómoda y espaciosa desearías extender tu estadía 🙂

Stayed at the place numerous times and it always delivered as promised. Excellent host, beautiful and very comfortable house. Perfect pool.

The house is  beautiful and very well kept. It has all you need, from kitchen utensils. to linens, etc. The property Manager was very attentive. The only negative is that it has no parking, and one of the 4 rooms does not have AC, other than that everything was perfect.

This is the second time our family has stayed at Casa Buena Vida and the house does not disappoint! Grethell and her team are quick to respond and helped our family out when we needed support on short notice. Everyone we worked with was kind and helpful. With two rooms using AC at night it was simple to avoid paying extra in electricity. A fully stocked kitchen and all appliances in working order. The house has a washing machine if needed. This is the only place I will stay when we come to Granada! Thank you, Grethell!

Beautiful colonial house; the photos are short for how cute the house is. They have everything and everything is clean. The house is in a great location. Very good care from Evelyn, they were flexible with the arrival and departure time. Without hesitation, we would stay in this place again.

Casa colonial hermosa; las fotos de quedan cortas para lo linda que es la casa. Tienen de todo y todo está limpio. La casa tiene una exc ubicación. Muy buena atención de parte de Evelyn, fueron flexibles con la hora de llegada y salida. Sin dudarlo nos volveríamos a quedar en este lugar.

Overall it was acceptable, the place requires maintenance I recommend being more careful with cleaning, dirty/poorly laundered kitchen utensils, we had to ask for cleaning at check-in. They should take care of the pests, we found cockroaches and scorpions in the rooms. Extra electricity payout should be clearer in description and house rules. They should show the parking they have.

En general fue aceptable, el establecimiento requiere mantenimiento. Recomiendo tener más cuidado con la limpieza, utensilios de cocina sucios/mal lavados, tuvimos que pedir limpieza al ingreso. Deberían de cuidar las plagas, encontramos cucarachas y escorpiones en las habitaciones. El cobro extra de la electricidad debería ser más claro en descripción y en reglas de la casa. Deberían mostrar el estacionamiento que tienen.

We definitely loved the house and the location. The pool was amazing and the location was near the main church and good restaurants. We would stay again.

The property, Grethell and her team were absolutely amazing. I will give it 5 Stars. It was your home away from home. Extremely clean and well appointed in every way. You could not want for anything else. I will definitely be back as it felt like home. Thank you again, Grethell, Karrina and Catherine, you are all amazing. Mike

Casa Buena Vida is the best airbnb/rental home my wife and I have ever stayed in. True hacienda-style living in the heart of Granada. Clean, cozy, private, tranquil. The standout element however, was the courtyard pool surrounded by lush greenery. 10/10. Would stay there again in heartbeat.

My family & I had a wonderful stay at Casa Buena Vida. The house was clean, comfortable & spacious, with multiple seating/lounge areas for the family to hang. The pool was a perfect retreat during those hot afternoons! The bedrooms were comfortable and 3 out of the 4 were equipped with AC, a nice bonus. Another perk, not often seen in Nicaragua, a Washer & Dryer! The location was great as well; just a block to the market and few more to Central Park and Calle La Calzada (which is full of restaurant options). Would definitely book again on our next visit!

lovely oasis. close to everything and plenty of space to spread out.

My friends and I had a wonderful visit. This house is so beautiful and within walking distance of excellent restaurants & sites. This is intentionally the second house of Grethell’s that we stayed in. We had a great experience all around and will be back.

Our stay was perfect, we were greeted by two lovely house maids who showed us rounds and how to work everything. There was plenty of space for everyone to have their own space but also get together as a group. The pool was perfect to cool off on those humid days and the location was insane. There was a possibility that we may have got caught up in a Hurricane so I reached out to Grethell asking if there was a possibility that if we were to get get stranded could we stay an extra day or two... She confirmed that we could within an hour. AMAZING!

We love Casa Buena Vida!  We’ve stayed there twice now and consider it our home away from home.  It is well appointed, in the perfect location and the communication with Grethell and her team that maintains the house could not be better.  My whole family cannot wait for our third stay!

The house is just like the photos! Spacious, super large and with everything you need! It's beautiful, every corner is a wonderful one! It's definitely a place I recommend 100x100. It has a garage that although it seems small we were able to fit a large van if you are well maneuvered. It is very close to supermarkets and typical streets to visit. We loved it!

La casa es tal cual las fotos! Espaciosa, súper grande y con todo lo necesario! Es preciosa, todos los rincones son una maravilla! Sin duda es un sitio que recomiendo 100x100. Tiene un garaje que aunque parece pequeño nosotros fuimos capaces de meter una furgoneta grande si se te da bien maniobrar. Esta muy cerca de supermercados y calles típicas de visitar. Nos ha encantado!

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Buena Vida .  The location  is excellent and the home was clean and comfortable.

Where do I start. I’ve been to this town many times throughout my life but finally for the first time I was able to sleep there for a few nights. After looking for a place to stay, I realize an Airbnb was the perfect choice. This house is everything I imagined it to be and it actually turned out to be bigger than I thought it would be. If it was for sale I would strongly consider buying it as an investment property. The pool, the kitchen, the bedrooms and even the bathroom exceeded all my expectations. I would recommend this place to any traveler seeking a place for their family. I cooked an awesome dinner there and had a whole day to spend in the pool before we went out and did any adventures in this beautiful classic town people call home. If you’re looking for a classic place to stay I would recommend any other properties but this one because I’ve stayed in it I would recommend the most. I can’t wait To come back and check out her other properties she has listed here.

The house was fabulous, good location, accommodations, comfortable and Kept cool - which is a huge plus for a Granada house. Would definitely stay again.

The house is beautiful. The pool was very cleaned every second day, the house daily through the week. The kitchen was very well equipped. The caretaker, Evelyn, responded to everything quickly. Good value if you need space for 6 - 8 people. Heads-up are 1) Parking- When the description says small car, they mean it. 2) Street noise- not bad on the second floor, noticable in the downstairs bedroom next to the street. 3) Traffic- weekends are no prob, weekdays are busy. The location is great...so many fine restaurants, shops, museums, etc are all within a few minutes walk. Overall, highly recommended!

I really liked the house and the surroundings. All close for walking. The house is super comfortable, the lady in charge was very friendly and always responded quickly to my messages. I recommend this house and I hope to book it on another occasion as well.

Me gusto mucho la casa y sus alrededores. Todo cerca para caminar. La casa super comoda, la señora encargada muy amable y siempre contestaba rapidamente mis mensajes. Porsupuesto recomiendo esta casa y yo espero reservarla en otra ocacion tambien.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Casa Buena Vida. Host was very friendly and helpful. There's everything you need for a relaxed stay with kids. lots of towels, kitchen appliances, AC rooms. Close to La Merced Church, and not too far from Parque Central. But far enough that you can avoid crowds and noise. Traditional Granada Style house. You can feel at home here.

This listing is as good as described with a couple of notes… The garage is very small, and difficult to get a car in and close the doors after, especially with home maintenance equipment also being stored in the space. There are only 3 a/c bedrooms not 4 as described in the listing. However all we’re very comfortable.

A very beautiful and large house. Only it is very difficult to close it and open it and we had problems with the parking because there was always a car parked outside when we were going to leave. Other than that, the experience and the house were very good. It is close to very beautiful tourist places.

Una casa muy hermosa y grande. Sólo que cuesta mucho cerrarla y abrirla y tuvimos problemas con el parqueo porque siempre había un carro estacionado fuera cuando íbamos a salir. Aparte de eso, fue muy buena la experiencia y la casa. Queda cerca de lugares turísticos muy hermosos.

Gracias Shane por su estadia en la casa y por ser tan buenos huespedes. muy respetuosos con las reglas de la casa y la comunicacion siempre fue buena con ustedes.   Gracias por dejarnos del inconveniente con el garaje, se supone que no deberia nadie estacionar donde hay una entrada para garaje, gestionaremos esto para evitar esta inconveniente en el futuro.   Saludos.

I stayed one week at Casa Buena Vista together with five other people. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The house is beautiful, very well maintained and super clean. The swimming pool was greatly appreciated and used often. The house is in a very convenient location - - walking distance to all the places we needed to go. Grethell was very responsive to any questions we had throughout our stay. I hope to return again.

Beautiful colonial house with all the amenities in the heart of Granada! Attention to detail in every aspect of construction and furnishing of the home very traditional colonial style with all the modern necessities. Would recommend and will stay again

Grethell's beautiful home in Granada is your home away from home.  There are three private rooms with en-suite bathrooms, and an extra bedroom that is not air conditioned and will share a bathroom with the downstairs bedroom if needed.  We were four, and we were all very comfortable.  The home is about 3 blocks from the main square.  It is a nice respite from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the pool is a delightful retreat after a hot day in the sun.  The home is VERY safe, with multiple keys to get in and out of the house.  Overall, we had a great experience.

Dear travelers, definitely if you are looking for a space to rest, this is not the place. We had a lot of problems with the maintenance of the air conditioning in one of the rooms. This repair took two days to fix it for the three of us who would be in the accommodation. There were several other details such as the cleanliness of the pool, kitchen. The price paid compared to what you find is very high. I must acknowledge that two of the local employees tried to respond to the situation, but the administration and owners of the stay took a long time to approve the problem. Pro: The kitchen is very well equipped. Mrs. Evelyn and Yamileth are excellent workers. Cons: The house needs good prior maintenance to provide a restful experience to customers and users . To try to fix the damage, we were given a 20% refund of the reservation. That to be honest, a larger refund should have been made.

Estimados viajeros, definitivamente si esta buscando un espacio para descansar, este NO es el lugar indicado. Tuvimos muchos problemas con el mantenimiento del aire acondicionado de una de las habitaciones esta reparacion tomo dos dias para arreglarlo de los tres que estariamos en el alojamiento. Habian varios otros detalles como la limpieza de la piscina, cocina. El precio pagado comparado con lo que encuentra es muy alto. Debo reconocer que dos de las empleadas del lugar trataron de responder a la situacion, pero la administracion y los duenos del hospedaje tardaron mucho en aprobar el arreglo del problema. Pro: La cocina esta muy bien equipada. La Sra Evelyn y Yamileth excelente trabajadoras. Cons: la casa necesita un buen mantenimiento previo para brindar una experiencia de descanso a los clientes y usuarios . Para tratar de reparar el dano, se nos hizo un re-embloso del 20% de la reserva. Que a decir verdad deberia haberse hecho un re-embolso mayor.

Gracias Lizzet por su comentario, hemos trabajado y seguimos trabajando para brindar lo mejor a nuestros huéspedes, el a/c se ha reparado en su totalidad y no podíamos reparar xq era un aire nuevo y tenía garantía y solo la empresa que lo vendió nos podía dar respuesta, por eso tomo dos días. Este tipo de cosas están fuera de nuestro control porque no sabemos cuando se van a dañar pero hacemos lo humanamente posible para solucionar cualquier problema.  Tenemos mucho cuidado en la limpieza de la casa y la chica de limpieza llega a limpiar todos los días, lo que hace que la casa esté lo más limpio posible sin embargo siempre es bueno mejorar y eso estamos haciendo.

We had such an amazing time at this beautiful home! Great location. The way the house is situated made it super comfortable even on the hottest days and nights. Everything we needed was attended to quickly-  Grethell has a very responsive team. I highly recommend this home!

Beautifully modernized colonial right downtown with all the amenities. Great lighting, fans, pool, kitchen, washrooms, spaces. I  found it a bit loud in the morning (church bells, trucks, motorcycles, pigeons), but my friends weren't bothered by it. Really a great place to hang out and relax.

We have not one complaint about Grethell and Casa Mariposa, it is even more beautiful than the photos!! Grethell is a great host, extremely friendly, reliable and responded immediately every time we needed her! The house is in a great location, quiet, we felt safe in the house and everywhere we went!! Absolutely loved it!! ❤️

This house is beautiful! I fell in love with it! Even had to ask if it was for sale. The pictures actually don't do it justice, it was much better than we all expected in person.  It was very clean, spacious and in a good central location.  We found the sound of the pool waterfall very soothing and the beds super comfortable. Our host Grethell was lovely and was there to greet us on arrival. She even helped arrange our round trip airport transfer. If I HAD to look for a flaw, I'd say it would be that only one of the bedrooms (the one with the two single beds) does not have an air conditioner, only fans. That however did not affect us being we were only 6 and did not have to occupy it. Something for other travelers with a bigger group to keep in mind. Other than that, the house is great! Definitely recommend it and will be staying there myself again if available on my next visit.

A lovely place in beautiful Granada. Really enjoyed our stay here! Nice and comfortable. Staff was very nice and helpful!

A beautiful house, almost perfect, super comfortable with air-conditioned rooms which are very necessary. A nice kitchen and living rooms throughout the house, well lit with a beautiful pool with perfect teperature for the place. In addition, the location of the house is very central. 2 blocks from the beautiful local market simply

Una casa hermosa casi perfecta super comoda con habitaciones con clima el cual muy necesario.. una cocina linda y salas de estar por toda la casa, bien iluminada con piscina hermosa con teperatura perfecta para el lugar ademas ubicacion de la casa muy centrica 2 manzanas del mercado local hermosa simplemente

We were blown away by the size and elegance of this beautiful home, only a few blocks from the main Central Square. We were a family group of six and had plenty of space. The pool, set in the centre of the house, was a great for cooling off after a day exploring the city. The bedrooms were very generous sizes and individual bathrooms provided privacy and saved times when we were all trying to get ready at once. The house had everything we needed including plenty of towels, a washing machine, a full equipped kitchen and daily maid service. Only suggestion is the addition of a high chair which would have been useful for us as we were travelling with a baby. The host was easy to deal with and arranged for more water to be delivered when we ran out.
