Casa Travista - Houses for Rent in San Juan del Sur, Rivas Department, Nicaragua

The house is spectacular. We loved it. Just keep in mind that you will probably have to pay extra for electricity, but they had already indicated that to us. We will return 🤍

La casa es espectacular, nos encantó, solo tener en cuenta que probablemente debas pagar extra de electricidad, de igual manera ya nos lo habían indicado.  Volveremos 🤍

Excellent place with a beautiful ocean view. Excellent staff, very friendly and kind.

Excelente lugar con una bella vista al mar . Un personal excelente muy amables y gentil .

First place I stay were they pressure you to pay an extra $200 dollar deposit, make you sign many forms, instead of worrying about the place being clean, it was full of spider webs, bath dirty showers.  She should inspect property before turning in, but she was worry about forms and money. She wrote to me about $56 extra for energy which is fine, still waiting on the rest of my deposit money.  They also have a dog full of fleas and thicks that will go inside the house every time we open the door. They said that the dog is part of the house. All I need is the blame for the dog going inside. Very unhappy with this stay for the money they ask, over 200 a day

Hi Dennis, I'm a little confused by your review because you added one night to your stay, which contradicts your review. We have the deposit issue in our listing, and we sent it in the welcome message in case you didn't see it in the listing, and your deposit was returned. We also state in the description that a female dog lives in the house, so we do not allow pets. However, the caretaker reported that they brought a female dog.

Very helpful to be shown how to get to the property.

We came for just over a week and loved it. We knew we were staying a few min from town (barely 5 minutes with a car - and you will want transport sorted) and so it was perfect. Quiet, dark and peaceful all night long, with more than enough space for us to cook, eat and enjoy the house. Pool was great. Bathrooms great. Bedrooms great - and amazing views from all rooms.

The first few days was during Holy Week so the town was nuts. Denise gave us recommendations for a delivery service that was wonderful. All of her recommendations were! The house cleaners were sweet and the caretaker and his son were attentive.  The guard dog was sweet as could be and follows us a bit when we went to town on foot. We will book through Denise when we come back

The place is very true to its description. Very neat, clean, and with all the necessary utensils for a comfortable stay. However, it should be noted that access to the house includes some slightly steep sections that require extra effort from the vehicle. Also, there is no cell phone signal in the area around the house, which is made up for by the Wi-Fi internet.

El alojamiento es muy fiel a su descripción. Muy ordenado, limpio y con todos los utencilios necesarios para una estadia comoda. Sin embargo hay que tomar en cosideración que el acceso hacia la casa incluye tramos un poco empinados que aprotan un esfuerzo extra al vehiculo. Por otra parte, no hay señal de red telefonica en el area de la casa, lo que se compensa con el internet wifi.

Beautiful place in an incredible location.  The villa had everything we needed for a relaxing trip.  We loved Nicaragua and plan on returning.

Loved our stay! The view is spectacular, the people who manage the Airbnb are very kind and helpful, the rooms are large, and the premises are clean. When booking, you should be aware that you will need to rent a vehicle capable of climbing steep slopes. Not all car rental companies are open on Sundays. This point requires a bit of planning.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour! La vue est spectaculaire, les gens qui s’occupent du Airbnb sont très gentils et aidants, les pièces sont grandes, les lieux sont propres. Il faut savoir en réservant qu’il faut prévoir la location d’un véhicule pouvant gravir des pentes abruptes. Les entreprises de location de voiture ne sont pas toutes ouvertes le dimanche. Ce point demande un peu de planification.

Are we in heaven or what ? 

The view is incredible, it is completly magical to wake up with this in front of you.

The staff was really friendly and kind. A really beautiful place to stay near San Juan Del Sur if you are looking for peace near the town.

Place was Beautiful!!! Beautiful view! loved the stay!

Amazing place! Really nice house keeper and dog.

The view is incredible, having the security guy there was very helpful, he was very pleasant and always responded quickly when we ask things of him. We used the bbq every night to cook dinners which was great, we would return to this house

This stay is beautiful, I loved the pool and view. I do wish it had a light in the pool for night swimming. Nevertheless I plan to stay here again in a few months. Make sure you have a 4x4 to get there.

A sublime house in a private and peaceful setting with a breathtaking view. A real favorite, we already plan to return!

Une maison sublime dans un cadre privé et paisible avec une vue à couper le souffle inlassable. Un vrai coup de cœur nous prévoyons déjà d’y revenir !

It’s a gorgeous spot. Need a SUV for sure. It has a perfect view of the sunset; very clean, comfortable and quiet. A perfect airbnb

I love the place I will only recommend to people Bring 4x4 or big suv

Excellent communication, beautiful place, almost a paradise, I recommend it 100%

Excelente comunicación, precioso lugar, casi un paraíso, lo recomiendo 100%

Place exactly as described. It was a little difficult to find since we weren’t from the area but their assistant was wonderful and even came down the hill to guide us to the home! Had a great experience. Would definitely recommend.

The house and the pool are super great. The views are magnificent and the location is great to go on hikes around the area. It is fairly hilly do so I do recommend getting a 4 by 4 vehicle as recommended by the host

Everything is perfect and the view is spectacular 🫶

Todo perfecto y la vista es espectacular 🫶

A very serene location when you want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Close enough to the city center but far enough for ultimate privacy with great views.

Very beautiful house with an amazing pool and view! The internet works well and excellent hot water for showers. I take personal security extremely seriously and I felt very safe there. There is a caretaker close by and the dog is amazing! The dog is smart and even accompanied me on my walks (it was obvious she came to keep me safe)  I am an experienced traveler in Central and South America, very selective about where I stay and I would highly recommend this house!!

Everything was perfect, the caretakers were very friendly and helpful.

Todo perfecto, los cuidadores muy amables y atentos.

Everything is excellent, the house has beautiful views.

Todo excelente, la casa con unas vistas hermosas.

Had a wonderful time! Had a nice connection with Carolien the housewife cooked wonderfully for us and was very helpful. She also knew good masseuses who could come to the house. And so really had a top experience! Highly recommended!

Heerlijke tijd gehad! Leuke connectie gehad met Carolien de huisvrouw heeft heerlijk voor ons gekookt en was heel erg hulpzaam. Ook wist ze goede masseuses die langs het huis konden komen. En zo echt een top ervaring gehad! Echt een aanrader!

Definitely a place to stay. The view was breathtaking. It feels right like home. Host was very friendly, we didn’t have a car but they were so helpful in finding us a driver. San Juan is definitely a magical place. There’s a lot of restaurants and bars and fun things to do in the area.

My friends and I enjoyed the time in this place, very nice, comfortable, private and with a lot of peace, forgetting all the routine of everyday life. It's well worth it.

Mis amigos y yo disfrutamos el tiempo en este lugar, muy agradable cómodo, privado y con mucha paz olvidando todo lo rutinario del día a día. Vale mucho la pena.

Everything was super easy. Let us check-in early. The pool and the ocean view was amazing

Very comfortable, nice, and clean facilities. I recommend it 100%. It has a spectacular view. I recommend arriving in 4x4.

Muy comodo, bonito, y la instalaciónes limpias. Recomiendo 100% Tiene una vista espectacular. Recomiendo llegar en 4x4.

The pictures don’t do justice to the views of this house! Perfect location in a quiet neighborhood. Will definitely return ☺️

We had a great stay in this beautiful home! The view from the back of the house is captivating. The pictures do not do it justice. Definitely more than what we imagined and really happy we chose this place to stay while in SJDS. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be going back. Just a few minutes drive to the beach, local restaurants and bars.

We had a fantastic time at Denise's wonderful property on the coast of Nicaragua. A once in a life time view a short drive from a very cool beach spot. Denise was super responsive and her instructions were clear. She continued to provide recommendations and help even after we had checked out in terms of transportation. Highly recommend!

Breathtaking view on the balcony Staff was really helpful We absolutely enjoyed our stay and will gladly come back in the futur

Very nice house, the pool and ocean view were beautiful. We enjoyed our family vacation. Host was very kind. The only small downside was that she asked us for a sum of 200 US payable upon arrival as a deposit. This detail was not listed at the time of booking and I was not very comfortable with this deposit, I just told her that I preferred that it go through the Airbnb platform instead, and she accepted, without charging me this deposit.

Très belle maison, la piscine et la vue sur l’océan était magnifique. Nous avons apprécié notre cours séjour en famille. L’hôte était très gentille. Le seul petit bémol était qu’elle nous demandais une somme de 200US payable à notre arrivée comme caution. Ce détail n’était pas inscrit lors de la location et je n’étais pas très confortable avec ce dépôt, je lui ai seulement dit que je préférais que ça passe plutôt par la plate-forme Airbnb, et elle a accepté, sans me charger cette caution.

We had a lovely stay at this house. The pool was great. Air conditioning was nice. Showers had some warmth to them which we hadn’t had at our last place. Kitchen was well stocked. Location is stunning especially to watch the subsets. Very lovely! There are a few minor things that could have made our stay better but nothing that would deter us from renting again. I’ve left these things in the private notes to the owner. We met the property manager at the management office and we followed her up to the property which was great. We signed a contract that was in Spanish so we didn’t fully understand but it didn’t look like any of the fields were filled out regarding utilities so not sure how they would have charged us for extra power. They did not charge us anything additional but we were careful to turn air conditioners off during the day. Overall a great stay!

The place is just amazing, with a gorgerous view over the pacific, perfectly aligned for sunset. The house and the pool were clean, well taken care of. This was for us the perfect place to chill for a few days. Be aware you definitely need a car though, as peacefullness comes at the price of having to drive on steep roads for 10 minutes from the city. Would not recommend for beginner drivers, but even with a bad car, we had no problem accessing the property. 100% recommend !

Amazing place, fully but fully equipped. So rare to have a view of the ocean and beautiful green bay without any other buildings/developments. Usually I find pool being a gimmick bit this is a perfect pool and now wanting one 😅

The place was beautiful and so peaceful!  Loved the pool view! We were out of power for about 24 hrs, but that was Nicaragua and storm related, it did hinder abit not to have any cel or wifi service during that time, but i felt the host went above and beyond to compensate.. giving  us a free night!..the dog and caretakers were a very nice addition, felt safe with them!! Also Jennifer was very helpful and enjoyed our walk to a beautiful rocky beach with her...would love to come back!

The house is super cozy, it's great for a family plan! The family taking care of the place is very helpful and willing to help. We thought the beach was a little closer however, the accommodation is very comfortable, nice and Denise, as a host is very attentive to everything. 😁

La casa es súper acogedora, es ideal para un plan en familia! La familia que cuida del alojamiento es muy servicial y dispuesta a ayudar. Pensamos que la playa quedaba un poco más cerca sin embargo, el alojamiento es muy cómodo, bonito y Denise, como anfitriona está muy pendiente de todo. 😁

The house is located in a very nice area, lots of greenery. the location of the house makes you have very spectacular sea views. The house is very comfortable, the pool and the sea come together. There is a very faithful dog who is the caretaker of the house called Duchess who is very affectionate and yes, if she cares too. Highly recommended place.

La casa está en un zona muy bonita, mucha vegetación. la ubicación de la casa hace que se tengas unas vistas al mar muy espectaculares. La casa es muy cómoda, la piscina y el mar se juntan. Hay una perrita muy fiel que es la cuidadora de la casa llamada duquesa que es muy cariñosa y si, si cuida también. Lugar muy recomendado.

Absolutely stunning view. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves, fire flys, storm watching! Perfect for a group of 6, very well equipped and the caretaker and his family are very accommodating.

The views were amazing.  Was great just sitting in the pool in the morning just looking out over the ocean watching birds and the fishermen pass in the distance   The house caretaker cleaned the pool every morning and had it ready to for us by the time we got up.  Dutchess the dog was great greeting us when we came back and sometimes slept at the front door making sure we were safe:).  Definitely would return to this property again.

House si beautiful,  very friendly and very helfull.

The house was a great fit for our family, and the view from the porch and pool is just absolutely breathtaking! We loved staying here. It is more secluded than I expected, so it was nice to have the guards living there as well. Just two clarifications about the listing— there was no dryer in the house, and we were charged $5 every time we used the washer that’s in the house (I thought that that fee only applied if the housekeeper washed our clothes for us). Overall it was a wonderful stay though! We would go back :).

Very nice house with a great view. We loved the pool! The house is behind a gate and the road is very steep. Not advisable to go there without transportation. With our 4x4 rental it was no problem, but be prepared ;-) Kitchen is well equipped and we had a great stay.

We will definitely come back to casa Travista. Views are amazing. The house is well designed and with views to the ocean from every room. Duqueza the house dog won our hearts. Don Jose and his wife were always attentive to our needs. Privacy and peacefulness were excellent at this house. There is a private beach about 10 minutes away walk from the house that we used as a workout in the mornings. Thanks Denise.

This was an amazing stay! The view is extremely beautiful, you need to be here to experience it. Everyone is extremely helpful and nice! Even though you share the property is still felt completely private! You'll be escorted to the location, which is great cause the roads are steep and easily getting lost in going up for the first time. Our SUV made it up no issues, dry season. Keep in mind we share the land with Nicaragua's wildlife so you may encounter some pesky insects but just keep an eye out! Overall, a recommended location I will definitely stay again when returning to SJDS. My two favorite things the infinity pool and Duquesa <3

I really enjoyed my stay! Denisse and her team are very professional in what they do. The property was nice and clean. My family really enjoyed the stay and I would recommend this place!

The house is beautiful, just like in the photos, the host service is excellent, always ready to collaborate.

La casa es preciosa, tal y como en las fotos, la atención de los anfitriones es excelente, siempre dispuestos a colaborar.

amazing house! the view is stunning and the house very comfortable. super close to San juan del sur and the beaches, beautiful location!

The integration of the living room, terrace and pool give you a spectacular sea view

La integración de la sala, terraza y piscina te ofrecen una vista al mar espectacular

Everything was great just the check in was not as simple. I had to go and wait 20-30 min at a gas station to meet up with Daniela. From there we had to follow her to the house and she handled me the key of the house at location. That house was great, location excellent and the view magnificent. Wich I could rebook for July 2024.

We had an incredible 5 week stay at Casa Travista! The view in UNBEATABLE. The photos don't do justice to the infinity pool overlooking the ocean. Our host Denise was helpful, highly responsive and took care of all of our needs. Jose the caretaker kept the pool and outdoor areas spotless early in the morning so we never even noticed him. Luquesa the house dog was such a pleasure to have around and the only time you'll hear her is when you have visitors. Invited guests get a very pleasant welcome from her and uninvited guests are scared away. Not that you'll have many of those in the private, quiet, safe and serene setting. A wonderful getaway for groups, couples or families!

Wunderschönes Haus! Wünderschöne Aussicht!

really nice place and extremely privatelocation. recommend a truck or 4x4. overall great say!

The house filled our expectations. Instructions were clear. Denise and Daniela's service was excellent. Caretaker Jose is helpful. The place has an excellent location with a spectacular view, where you can enjoy nature and relax as a family. I recommend 4x4 vehicle.

La casa llenó nuestras expectativas. Las instrucciones fueron claras. La atención de Denise y Daniela fue excelente. El cuidador Jose es muy servicial. El lugar tiene excelente ubicación con una vista espectacular, donde se puede disfrutar de la naturaleza y relajarte en familia. Recomiendo vehículo 4x4.

Denise & her team were excellent hosts & responsive to all our needs. The house is a beautiful location overlooking the sea & just out of town. Ideally, best to have a car, but taxis can make the journey if needed. If you want a private, quiet place stay with a beautiful ocean view, this is great place. Our family enjoyed it very much. Thanks Denise!

A house with a wonderful view, impeccable cleanliness, Don José who is available for any need is extremely friendly and attentive. The house has all the comforts for a quiet and relaxed stay. I definitely recommend it and I would definitely stay again.

Una casa con una vista maravillosa, la limpieza impecable, Don José quien está a disposición para cualquier necesidad es sumamente amable y atento. La casa cuenta con todas las comodidades para una estadía tranquila y relajada. Sin duda alguna la recomiendo y yo volvería a hospedarme nuevamente.

We had a beautiful stay at Denise’s place. The views are breathtaking, kitchen fully stocked with cooking untensils and the bedrooms/bathrooms had towels/linens. The washing machine did not work while we were and power was out for a few hours due to a blown transformer. They did not reach out to tell us this, we had to ask what was going on and why we had no power. Wi-Fi worked well for the first day, was slow subsequent days. Overall we would definitely stay here again!

Thanks for your feedback Nida we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Power goes out around town without notice and only on certain hours at a time so we don’t have a chance to give hears up to our guests. We look forward to your visit!

Thank you. It was an incredible experience. Infiniti pool was great. The view of the bay was astonishing. Enough space Will definitely come back.

This home is in a magnificent location. You can cool off in the pool for hours watching the birds, the changing sky, scout for whales and really relax. The beds are comfy, the linens fresh and nice. The drive up there is good if you have a strong engine and confident skills. It's all an adventure. Try out the French Boulangerie, the  French Cheesemaker, San Martin butcher, the seafood market and Nica Naturals for good groceries.  There are a few things to be aware of. The kitchen has no hot water, so you have to boil water (in saucepans, no kettle) for dishes and hope the last person did the same. The toilets have staining around them. Super low shower water pressure. Bring your own cleaning supplies. Jose, the caretaker, does a splendid job with cleaning the pool each morning. He takes away your garbage. We enjoyed our stay and did not blow the electricity budget by keeping the A/C at 24C each night. That & the fans drown out the nocturnal bellowing frogs crying 'behappy'.

Great host - helpful and responsive. Jose, the groundskeeper was very kind and would wake up early to clean the pool daily.

This house is an oasis. Lots of space and clean. The pool and view are wonderful. Issues were that without a vehicle it is hard to navigate the area. Don't expect any extra amenities and bring everything to cook with.

It has a spectacular view, the path is in perfect condition, you can reach it by sedan type vehicle or van

Tiene una vista espectacular, el camino está en perfecto estado, se puede llegar en vehículo tipo sedan o camioneta

Excellent host, always responsive, quick solution.

조용하게 휴식하기에 완벽한 곳이었습니다ᆢ

Very peaceful and beautiful property.  We really enjoyed the fact that all the bedrooms faced the ocean and the sunsets were absolutely amazing. After a long day of roaming around town, it was nice to be able to swim in the pool and enjoy everything around us. The huge thing for me was being able to hear the ocean and watch out over the water. You will definitely want a 4x4 vehicle or a motorbike to get around.  We did have a driver who was recommended to get us around  and took us to get groceries and into town.  If we needed anything related to the house we got a response very quickly and the groundskeeper also was there to help us with questions and anything that was needed. There was also a sweet little pup on property who we loved having around. We would definitely book this property again.

The place was nice. The hills were very steep, which we were aware of but getting a taxi that could handle getting up and down the hills to town were another story. Be prepared to buy your own toilet paper because you are only allowed 1 free roll per bathroom (3) for the week. Also only one jug of water was included. They did give us one extra of water and TP when we asked but it is not the norm. Jose the house person was excellent and was available when we needed something. The dog was a highlight for us, she was sweet and friendly Overall clean and as expected but we did leave a day early, only cooked 3 times and were out and about most days but still had to pay and extra $8.50 USD for electricity so be aware.

The best view of the sea, an incredible place! Definitely recommended

La mejor vista hacia el mar, un lugar increible! Definitivamente recomendado

This Airbnb is absolutely fantastic. The view is hard to beat. My only advice would be to rent an SUV. It is fairly hard to make it up to the location - we had two cabs break down on the way up the hill. Nevertheless, 10/10.
