4BR villa in Apoya Lagoon

Gorgeous retreat on the water of Laguna de Apoyo - Villas for Rent in Apoya Lagoon, Masaya , Nicaragua

Location was great. Leguna de Apoyo is beautiful. The huge terrace on the back of the home overlooks the leguna and has lots of chairs, huge dining table, and a hammock. we spent lots of time out there. Kayaks were also provided, really enjoyed those. Host also provided several gallons of water, which was appreciated. Now for the constructive criticism: 1) The home could use a good deep clean. 2) Also, needs to be fumigated for bugs. But I’m not really sure how much good that would do due the design of the home. There are lots of built in vents in the home (typical in Nica) which is fine if you have screens but there are none in this home. So there is nothing preventing spiders, ants, geckos etc from coming in. And I know you are going to have a few ants/bugs in almost any house in Nica. But this was quite a bit more than usual. Only 2 of the 4 bedrooms have AC. Which IS mentioned in the listing, I just didn’t see it. All in all, it was a great time spent with fam

It was a beautiful setting. The bed was comfortable. The lake was gorgeous for swimming and the views amazing. Communication with Amy was amazing and when an issue came up she was proactive and gracious. I would highly recommend staying here if you live the jungle.

Nice place to rest…the kitchen has everything you need…you can cook…so it is not necessary to leave the house. The host's attention and response was great.

Bello lugar para descansar…la cocina tiene todo lo que se necesita…puedes cocinar…así que no es necesario salir de la casa. La atención y respuesta del anfitrión fue excelente.

Fantastic View and g a great place to stay!!!!

A beautiful place, everything you are looking for for a relaxed family trip. Don Erickson's excellent care, Amy helped us with everything and gave us the correct orientations to find her home. Well-equipped kitchen and impeccable place

Un lugar precioso, todo lo que buscas para un viaje relajado en familia. La atención de don Erickson excelente, Amy nos ayudó en todo y nos dio las orientaciones correctas para dar con su casa. Cocina bien equipada y el lugar impecable

A beautiful place right on the lagoon, with a stunning terrace you can spend all day relaxing on. The kitchen is great for meals, and the bedrooms are comfortable. What a great place!

Amy’s place was wonderful! It’s the perfect spot for a quick getaway to enjoy the lake. The views are amazing and it’s a short walk to get to the water. My family and I loved our stay at Amy’s and would certainly visit again.

The house was as beautiful as advertised, with a glorious view.  The garden was lovely.  We enjoyed looking out over the lagoon and wandering down to use the kayaks.  The size was ample for the eight of us, with room to spare.  Amy was gracious and available for any questions.  Had a wonderful time.

Second time here.  Great location near Masaya and Granada.  The laguna is so nice for swimming too!

This was a great place to stay! It had more than enough room to accommodate our group and the view was absolutely incredible. We loved all of the kayaks and floaties left for us to use in the lake, it made the day a lot more fun. It is quite a distance from grocery stores so make sure you have transportation available! We would definitely recommend this house!

Thank you Olivia! You and your group are welcome anytime! Thank you!

Excellent place to share as a family and rest! The place is much better than what you see in the photos. Very well equipped with everything you need for cooking. I suggest two things: 1. That they put a grill 2. Allow pets as at the end of the day some cats and dogs arrived at the place, so perfectly you could take the dogs.

Excelente lugar para compartir en familia y descansar! El lugar está mucho mejor que lo que se mira en las fotos. Muy bien equipado con todo lo necesario para cocinar. Sugiero dos cosas: 1. Que coloquen un grill 2. Que permitan mascotas ya que al final de todo llegaron unos gatos y perros al lugar, entonces perfectamente se podría llevar a los perritos.

Such a magical place. The house is big with high ceilings and open living room and kitchen. The porch which faces the lake is massive with a stunning view. The Laguna overall is an amazing place to spend a vacation, especially during the dry season when the hot weather demands constant cool downs in the water. While Amy was not around while we stayed there, we were in constant communication and she was able to help answer any questions we had. Erickson the grounds keeper was always around, and was such a nice person with a positive energy. He seemed to always be at the gate as we were arriving or leaving to open the doors for us. Knowing that he was always there keeping an eye on the gate definitely made us feel safe on the property, although overall the Laguna is already safe on its own, with everyone in the area being super nice. There is one thing to note, which is by no means a negative, but certainly something any potential renter would likely appreciate knowing It is highly recommended you rent a car if you are staying here. While the Laguna is an amazing place to vacation, it takes about 20 minutes of driving just to get out of it, and then another 10 or so minutes to the closest towns of Masaya or Grenada for grocery stores. During our month in the Laguna we relied quite heavily on our rental car. Overall I would recommend this rental to anyone looking to enjoy the heat and culture of Nicaragua.

Thank you for being such wonderful guests Ausitn! You are welcome back any time. Come see us again! ~Amy

AMAZING! The house is beautiful, confortable, has great location and the facilities have everything you can possible need. The host was really helpful answering our questions and the family that takes care of the house are kind, polite and very helpful. Is the perfect place to relax with family or friends, because is like having the lagoon just for you. We will definitely come back soon.

Thank you Martha! It was wonderful to host you and your family! We'd love to have you back any time!

We rented the place because of it's amenities, night 1 we had some friends spend the night after they were unable to drive home putting us over the guest limit, ABB noted this on their end. We left after the 1st night due to the hosts aggressive language and us feeling unsafe after we expressed the following concerns 1) the washing machine flooded the living room day 1, the caretaker said this happens everytime the washer is used, we spent lots of time mopping and sweeping the water out of the house 2) the power went out and the water stopped flowing twice causing food spoilage due to the intense heat + disruptions in daily activities 3) the ceramic grill was already broken according to the caretaker, when we used it he said it cracked more, the host attempted to charge us for it, ABB stepped in and provided a partial refund after we left early due to feeling unsafe because of the hosts use of language when we requested a remedy. Generally, glad it's over.

Unfortunately, this was the worst experience I have had renting my home in many years. I allowed the guests to check in hours early so they could enjoy the full day on the lake. I try to accommodate guests in this way if at all possible. They started by putting far too many guests in my home. We live in a nature reserve, inside the carter of a volcano, and the water system simply can't handle more than 12 people. The reason that is our limit.They ignored the rule and piled in more people. I have NEVER had the washing machine flood. I have been in that house for 10 years. It has never flooded and to say my caretaker said it does is just not true. After doing loads of laundry all day and over using the water systems of the home it just couldn't handle it. Again. why we have rules in place to avoid this, that were broken by this guest. My caretaker promptly cleaned up the mess and workers came to repair the damage to the pipes.  This in Nicaragua. Occasionally the power does go out in our municipality and in every area of Nicaragua. This is just part of life. It doesn't happen often but sometimes it does happen and we have absolutely no control over it. The power was out during the day for less than an hour. The stove and water all still work. We have a high efficiency refrigerator / freezer and food could easy last a couple of days without going bad. Food does not go bad in a cold fridge in less than an hour.  The guest cracked and ruined my ceramic grill beyond repair. Again, my caretaker never said it was already broken or that it was ok that they cracked it, as they claim. It had only been used twice.  I love renting my home and have had consistently great reviews for years. We have wonderful people who work for us and go above and beyond to make our guests feel comfortable. So of course they help with every issue and would never argue with a guest. It is upsetting when someone takes advantage of the situation and tell untruths to try to get money back, after not taking care of the home.

We really enjoyed our stay after Christmas with my family! The house he lots of space and beautiful views.

Thanks for staying Taylor! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay!

Amy’s place was amazing!! I stayed with my family for 3 days 2 nights and wish I would have done more. The house is beautiful and is fully equipped. The local host were awesome as well.

This is a beautiful oasis overlooking the pristine Apoyo Lagoon. We really enjoyed our rest and relaxation the the retreat. Has all the amenities. The free kayaks were great for getting out and on the water. We loved Juan Carlos who was always onsite to quickly attend to any questions or issues we came across. We also appreciated being so secluded with a gorgeous view and large expansive back deck area for gathering, eating, hammocking and all around chilling! Fair warning only the 2 back bunk rooms have air conditioning while the other two do not :) Was not a big issue with the fans provided.

Thank you Jon! Your kind words are much appreciated!

The location was great. Nice restaurant close by. People around were very friendly. The caretaker was great also.

The caretaker was super helpful.  There were plenty of life vests and three kayaks

Great place, relaxing, secluded and very complete. Great to come back again!

Sitio estupendo, relajante, apartado y muy completo. Ideal para regresar nuevamente!

The location is beautiful. The house is rustic with brick floors, stone showers, open kitchen, natural vents above windows and doors facing the Laguna, and cane ceilings. All the beds were comfortable.

Indeed a gorgeous retreat for the week-end or more... A great place to recommend close to Granada and Masaya. Best moment was the full-moonrise on the lake. Awesome!

We were absolutely blown away with this place. The view is spectacular to say the least.We were not expecting much and I don't think the photos do this place justice. Beautiful decor, comfy lounge, excellent kitchen that was well stocked, it even had some nice herbs and spices which was lovely.Pizza restaurant just up the road has amazing pizza. We would definitely stay here again. Amy was quick to respond and the staff on hand were really helpful and lovely.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was wonderful to host you! We hope you will return again!

My family and I stayed at this beautiful house for 8 days and I must say it was a wonderful experience.  If you are looking to detach from the regular routine this is the perfect home. You will definitely need a rental vehicle to get around and maybe some one who knows the area to go sightseeing.  The house is well equipped with four bedrooms two bathrooms, it's very spacious. But the view is what you won't believe, it's paradise over looking the lagoon. If you are a nature lover like I am you will love it. Before I flew to Nicaragua I kept I'm touch with Amy with several questions I had and she was always on track. When we arrived the refrigerator was not cooling properly and the very next next Amy sent out a technician to fix it that speaks hightly of here. This house is perfect for large groups with children, I would highly recommend this house.

Special spot, beautiful view, well equipped and attended by two very nice local staff. Close to three restaurants or bring some groceries and cook in. Water toys, view and breeze.... all  good.

We had a very relaxing time in Amy's home. The view to the lagoon is amazing. The house caretaker was really helpful and was available for house questions all the time. Lagoon beach is really rocky, so bring water shoes.
