Private Home OceanView w Pool Amazing Vibe in Town - Houses for Rent in San Juan del Sur, Rivas, Nicaragua

We had a lovely stay at Scott's place. The city view is very beautiful, and the pool is impeccable. Several cafés and a supermarket are close to the accommodation.

Nous avons eu un très bon séjour chez Scott. La vue sur la ville est très belle et la piscine est impeccable. Plusieurs cafés et super marché sont proches du logement.

Great spot close to town. Worth it for sure. Very communicative and accommodating host as well. Thank you Claudia!

Everything was nice and we had a good comunication with the housekeeper. Unfortunately there was not enough water because the watertank was empty on the last day.

Casa maravilhosa, com uma vista incrível

excellent service, very friendly and caring. The ocean view is a little limited by the trees.

excelente atención muy amable cariñosos. la vista al mar un poco limitada por los árboles.

Fantastic spot, would definitely stay there again. Scott and Claudine were wonderful to deal with.

The host made the stay cozy and effortless. Great places to stay

Great place to stay, close enough to walk to town but far enough to relax. Place has everything you need to feel at home.

Listen from a person who travels 6+ months every year. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. This is not a home, it was possibly a 4 room motel in its good days. We had booked for 3 nights and had to leave after few hours because of no running water, stray dogs on the property, cameras and non functional curtains. Kitchen is accessible only from one room through its attached washroom. People staying in rooms 2 and 3 need to come out of the so called house to get into the kitchen/ living area. the 2nd bedroom has no washroom door. No dining table in the kitchen, its located outside. No closets, no working space. No ocean view from the pool as shown in the pics. Raised the issue with AIRBNB and the host refused to offer a refund. Total rip off Been on AIRBNB for over 13. Stayed in some amazing properties, never had a complaint of this magnitude But, this experience has been my worst ever Again DONT WASTE YOUR VACATION TIME AND MONEY by choosing this property

The view is phenomenal, just need the neighbors and them to cut a few trees to have the perfect view of the whole bay and town. The fridge was brand new, so that was a nice touch.

The house provided the conditions I was looking for to share with my family, privacy, comfort, security and areas to have a great time, highly recommended, we will surely return soon.

La casa prestaba las condiciones de lo que buscaba para compartir con mi familia, privacidad, comodidad, seguridad y areas para pasarla muy bien, muy recomendado, seguramente volveremos pronto.

It was an amazing stay close to everything. The place was well maintained and impeccable.

Ce fut un séjour incroyable près de tout  l'endroit était bien entretenu et impecable

Very nice apartment! Great location! Beautiful sunset! A short walk to the city! A good hill to climb on foot but it allows you to get some exercise during the holidays! We loved it!

Très bel appartement! Bien situé ! Coucher de soleil magnifiques ! À quelques pas de la ville ! Une bonne côte à monter à pied mais ça permet de faire un peu de sport pendant les vacances ! On a adoré !

Our stay at Scott’s casa rústica was nothing short of amazing! Tucked away in a private and peaceful location, the home was incredibly clean, cozy, and inviting from the moment we arrived. Scott and his team were exceptionally professional and welcoming, going out of their way to make us feel at home. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, making it easy and convenient to cook meals during our stay. We were especially grateful for the hot running water and cold AC, which made our time there all the more comfortable. Each room in the house had its own unique charm and personality, creating a warm atmosphere that made each guest feel special and welcomed. The house was very spacious and beautifully maintained—we truly enjoyed every corner of it. Scott went above and beyond for my family, handling every detail with thoughtfulness and care. He was also incredibly accommodating, helping us pull off a last-minute vacation by ensuring home was ready on time. Thank you!

Horrible experience!! As soon as we got there the house is NOT secured. It has a barbwire fence. All the strayed cats and dog would go in the property. I had 2 service dogs, so you could imagine my stress level. The house water smelled bad and tasted bad when brushing our teeth. One hour after check in we let the owner and property manager know the refrigerator was not working and our food was going bad. The property manager showed up at 6:30 PM 8 hours after we let them now. She came to the property and said yes it not working and left. The owners Scott was no responding. Airbnb alerted me in the chats if we have any problems to contact them. Which we did. It took 12 hours for Airbnb to give us our refund back and we could not find another place. This was Holy Week so everything was booked. All this time the Scott never bother to contact us. We lost $930.00 of food we are still waiting for a refund on our food. The stray cat linked all our food and dishes and cups.

The place was fantastic. Very comfortable beds, the place was clean, hot showers, great AC, great pool with a beautiful view. Loved our stay!

Pros: Beautiful location (albeit, up a very steep hill), incredible views, clean, comfy beds, pool was great, air conditioning in the bedrooms was fabulous, water in kitchen and bathrooms was very hot. Claudia, the local property manager, was quick to respond and helpful. Close and walkable to the town center, where there are many restaurants and shops. Cons: The house setup was a bit unclear in the listing and it turns out that the three bedrooms open to outside. At night, this requires you to essentially 'lock yourself in'. This is totally fine for adults, but not a great setup for kids. We were travelling with kids ages 11 and 13, and if they were any younger, we would have had to split them to sleep with parents. The initial communication was also a bit bumpy, so make sure you have Whatsap set up , as this is the primary way the property manager will get in touch. All in all a great stay!

Everything was great. Sometimes the neighbourhood dogs and cats were annoying and there. We felt very safe and loved being so close to town but in a place that felt a little remote.

This house, the location and the host are all fabulous. Claudia was very responsive and helpful. 10/10 recommend!

We had a great two nights. Adopted a stay cat (we named her 'Margot') which kept the kids entertained. Our kids hope future guests will also adopt this little beauty 😉

We had a great stay. The location is great with awesome views. Would definitely recommend. The hill up to the place can be a bit daunting but there is a great pool to jump in when you get there

Scott’s property was a great find for our trip to San Juan. It worked well for our group of 5 with the independent bedrooms and a nice living area. The pool was also great for freshening up when the day got warm. Claudia was also very attentive and helpful throughout our stay.

Great place to stay, calm and quiet!! Beautiful view

Our original AIR BNB was not functional so we reached out to Scott and he was able to get us in to his place that same day. We were VERY THANKFUL. The location was a quick walk to town and great resturants. Claudia the on site manager was extremely kind and helpful.  The pool and views were amazing.  We loved out stay!

Excellent place with an amazing view. The walk up the hill was worth it! Relax here and feel like you are away from it all, but just down the hill, you’re in town. San Juan is great, but staying here made it better. A dip in the pool at the end of the day looking out over the city is hard to beat!!

The house was a perfect stay ! The pool is the best part. Claudia was very responsive and friendly. Would definitely come back next year

Casa Rustica was the perfect location. Close to town with amazing views. The pool was such a great feature. I would recommend renting a motorbike or ATV to climb up the steep hill. The property manager Claudia was very responsive and helpful. We had some ants in the bedroom and she brought some spray which cleared it up no problem. The pool was always cleaned by their staff in the morning.

We had such a great stay ! The house was amazing and perfect for our trip. Also, so close to everything in town ! Thank you :)

Beautiful view of town and bay/beach. Claudia was very helpful and responded very quickly with all of our queries. She is awesome. Easy to walk to Central Park. Many restaurants and amenities around. 5-star.

This was an awesome gem in SJDS. I would highly recommend. The pool was fantastic and the property management team on the ground was amazing. I also highly recommend paying for folks come in and cook at least once every few days. FYI, The hill up to it is quite steep, so anyone with walking difficulty would likely have a hard time

Scott’s place is amazing. Beautiful view of the bay and very close to all the restaurants and bars. Scott was available anytime I had any questions and the house care taker Claudia was very attentive as well. Overall it was an amazing stay!

would highly recommend if your looking for a private lot a block off the main road.  great location, great spot and great host! 👍  5 starts

We absolutely loved Scott's place. It was private with an amazing view of the ocean. We loved picking fresh limes from the various trees in the yard, watching monkeys from the back deck, and comfortable sleeps. Claudia was very helpful and attentive. I would absolutely book there again. The only feedback that I would give is that the doors were difficult to lock and unlock. I would suggest getting new locks installed on each door. Otherwise, the experience was wonderful. Thank you Scott and the team!

I wanted to summarize our stay in your accommodation: - cold shower no hot water throughout the whole stay - shower with mushrooms on the walls and paint crumbled. - fan remote control without batteries, so impossible to operate - a pool that does not overflow because it is stopped before it overflows. the house has potential, yes, the view is beautiful, yes, it's nice to stay there. But what is unacceptable and disgusting is having showers in this condition, and not having hot water... not hot, just icy... We chose to stay at your property because it promised peace and tranquility. That's why we didn't want other people to come into the house... We are deeply disappointed with our stay... for me it is truly a very mediocre and disappointing stay compared to what I had read on the listing.

Je voulais résumer notre séjour dans votre hébergement : - douche froide pas d'eau chaude pendant tout le séjour - douche avec champignons sur les murs et peinture qui s'effrite. - télécommande des ventilateurs sans piles, donc impossible à faire fonctionner - une piscine qui ne déborde pas car elle est arrêtée avant qu'elle ne déborde. la maison a du potentiel, oui, la vue est belle, oui, il est agréable d'y séjourner. Mais ce qui est inacceptable et dégueulasse, c'est d'avoir des douches dans cet état, et de ne pas avoir d'eau chaude... pas chaude, juste glacée.... Nous avons choisi de séjourner dans votre logement parce qu'il promettait la paix et la tranquillité. C'est pourquoi nous ne voulions pas que d'autres personnes viennent dans la maison... Nous sommes profondément déçus de notre séjour... pour moi c'est vraiment un séjour très médiocre et décevant par rapport à ce que j'avais lu sur l’annonce.

Let me start saying that the property have an amazing view to the beach, if you like sunsets and even sunrises, you will love this place. Very spacious 3 dorms house with open terrace and nice swimming pool, perfect for having breakfast enjoying the view. Property is well located a few steps from restaurants, bars and central market (but, still “far enough” so you will hear nothing! The place is really quite all the time, you just hear birds and wind blowing. Claudia, the property manager is always helpful, answering every text we sent her asking for anything we need.  There nothing more to say just that, book this property if you like views and peace.

It’s a great place, the view is amazing, very comfortable, to have a bathroom in each room was good. I recommend this place.

The house was really nice and super well located, walking distance to all restaurants and shops 😀, really cozy outside area with amazing pool view. Strongly recommend 👌🏻

We loved our stay at this rental. Claudia, who tends for the property, was warm, friendly, and very responsive and helpful. We arrived a little early and she met us at the property and let us in. She made great recommendations for restaurants and even delivered charcoal for the grill when we'd realized we'd forgotten to pick some up. The propane tank also went out while we were cooking and Claudia had another one delivered within minutes. The view from the pool is phenomenal. The rental was easy to find and within walking distance from downtown San Juan del Sur. Our 4 kids (all under 6) enjoyed the pool as well. This is truly a unique rental.

This place exceeded our expectations. I loved the covered patio! We spend most of our time outside - so may places to sit and relax or swim in the perfect pool. Hammocks and real wood rocking chairs. The kitchen fridge was huge - lots of room. Also loved that all 3 rooms had their own separate entrance and bathroom - so private from each other!  Such a wonderful private place to really get away but yet perfect location for walking to town. The hill walking up is steep but short. San Juan del Sur has great coffee shops and restaurants too. Claudia, the manager, was so nice and responsive. She set up our transportation to and from the airport and a rental vehicle for a few days (to see other parts of Nicaragua). Eric was by everyday to ensure the pool was cleaned and perfect. We felt safe and secure.  Thank you Scott & Zaida! Look no further, this place is great!

great place. Scott and Claudia were fantastic to deal with. The location was perfect, short walk to all amenities. Perfect place to stay to easily see all of San Juan. very private if you're wanting some.quiet time as well. I'd stay again.

Beautiful place. Great views. For $1400 NO A/C in the living room kitchen area and ceiling fan was broken. So hot in the living room kitchen area. They did put two floor fans in the room with no effect. Water pressure very weak. theNo circulation in the pool. Moved out on are second day of nine. When asked if we could please have just half the payment we got no response but they did take the keys to relist.

I slept good there, the bed is comfortable and the AC worked great. Close walk to the restaurants and far enough from the loud noises in town. Enjoyed the view of the bay from the patio. I felt safe and secured too.

Perfect getaway for my two 20 something kids and myself.  Safe and secure, with Señora Claudia ensuring we had everything we needed. She was gracious and kind. The pool and hammocks were a hit!  The view cannot be beat.  I very much look forward to returning.

The place has a great view from the infinity pool and it’s a five minute walk from every place downtown. Everything was nice and clean! Loved casa rustica

Would highly recommend Scott’s place! Such a great view and the accommodations were great. The property manager and Scott were very responsive and helpful!

My family love Scott hospitality, specially Claudia amazing response to everything we love 💕 them and we definitely recommend everyone to stay with them, thank you for everything guys and see you soon!!!

Everything was great! Scott was very responsive and his care taker Claudia as well. we had one request she came by to “fix” it. Great restaurants around less than 1 min down the path. Of course the path to the house is a bit steep but worth the view. Thank you Scott!

Beautiful villa overlooking the bay of San Juan del Sur! Easy to walk to town and the beach, I would definitely recommend :)

Casa Rustica lives up to its name, simple but very nice, and the views of the city and the bay are spectacular, especially at sunset.

Casa Rustica hace honor a su nombre, sencilla pero muy agradable, y las vistas sobre la ciudad y la bahia son espectaculares, especialmente al atardecer.

We stayed at Casa Rustica for a month in February. It was exactly like the photos. Claudia and Scott were both super helpful and the pool was cleaned every day. It was private with lovely views of the ocean and we had a great time overall. I will say that, like other reviews mention, it is at the top of a steep hill so if you have mobility/accessibility issues you may want to rent a scooter or vehicle. Would recommend!

We had such a wonderful stay - the outdoor space is absolutely amazing and the view is incredible. It was a very short walk to town but be aware the house is at the top of a fairly steep hill which was a bit of a struggle for my senior mother however there are numerous taxi's in town who can help for a small fee :) Other than that, no complaints - I would certainly stay there again. Scott was a wonderful host and communication with him and his property manager Claudia was seamless.

Excellent place, well cared for and communication and attention is more than excellent!

Excelente lugar, bien cuidado y la comunicacion y atencion es mas que excelente!

Excellent place to stay and enjoy the amazing view of San Juan del Sur. Communication with Scott and Rustica property manager was top-notch. I greatly appreciate the insights regarding the house gate and constant communication. You have to walk like 10 minutes to get to the town, however, you enjoy the view, people, and overall experience of San Juan del Sur, we even found some monkeys on our way to the town. The pool and all amenities on Rustica make you feel like you don't want to get back to your house. My friends and I enjoyed our stay. We super recommend Rustica!!

You'll have a good view, but it would be really good if you could share photos of the entrance. It's not very good for me.

Tendrán una buena vista, pero sería realmente bueno que les compartan fotos de la entrada para mi no es muy buena.

I’m not sure if it’s something new that everybody’s doing in San Juan del Sur,  there is a charger if is used to many  kilowatts electricity, i’ve been im San Juan many times and i have never heard about any charges, all the bedrooms has their own private bathroom but one of them had a very bad stain on the toilet seat, I think needs to be replace, I think need it a iron board that also make it a little better on the amenities, The pool was dirty on our entire stay, other than that the property is very good, very private secluded and amazing view to the ocean and town, super close to town to walk

Good option very close to the town of San Juan

Buena opción muy cerca del pueblo de San Juan
