The place is beautiful and just as it appears in the photos. 🤍 The house is super complete and very comfortable; 8 people can easily stay without any problem. An added value is that they leave details that make the stay much more practical, such as oil, rice, paper towels and purified water. In addition, the barbecue is super large and fully equipped. The beach is beautiful, with a super calm and quiet sea, and there is a lot to do. The service was great, and everything made our stay even better. 100% recommended. This place is definitely very much worth checking out. 🌊🤍

Great stay at Shankton Place. Check-in and check-out were painless, with clear instructions and zero hassle. The view is the thing you’ll remember. We kept stopping to look at it. The pool was the other highlight. We spent way more hours in it than planned, mostly because of that view. And the beach is a five-minute walk, which we didn’t expect and ended up using almost every day. Five bedrooms and four baths meant nobody was tripping over anyone. The area is beautiful and the whole place felt welcoming from the minute we walked in. Host was easy to reach. Would stay again without thinking twice.

My family and I had a wonderful time . The view was absolutely amazing…. Ocean view from Main floor and upper rooms as well. The place was very clean and had everything we needed it. The hostess were very responsive and getting to the beach I loved it walking through a little tropical jungle… easy walk to and from the beach .

Beautiful house in a stunning setting! The host was very responsive, attentive, and easy to communicate with. We were greeted at the security gate, escorted to the house, and helped get settled in, which made check-in very smooth. We felt safe and comfortable throughout our stay. The house has beautiful ocean views, although the water directly in front isn’t suitable for swimming. The beach is about a 7-minute walk away. Just keep in mind that getting there involves quite a few stairs and some steep hills, so it’s a bit of a workout, but definitely manageable and well worth it!

A great place to spend some 'away time'! The house is very cozy, clean and fully corresponds to the description. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the atmosphere allows you to really relax and unwind. The hosts are attentive and always ready to help. There were only the most pleasant impressions. I would love to come back here again and would definitely recommend it to everyone!

Clifton Rhys’s was amazing. What I enjoyed the most was the 5 minute walk to Redonda Bay. Super private and quite beach, no need to go anywhere else. The home is located in a great area immersed in nature. I recommend the home adding photos of the surrounding. When you arrive you will be amazed at how immersed in nature you are. The home is super comfortable and spacious indoor and outdoor. We saw monkeys in the morning during breakfast all you hear is the aound of the ocean which was so peaceful. Host is super accomadating and responsive. If you are looking for a place to get away and stay away, this is the place!

We really loved the house. It had an increíble view of the water and the infinity pool is a great place to watch an amazing sunset. Google maps kind of routed us to a different entrance(I think because of the new roads) but we were able to find easily with Waze and once we got there everyone was very accommodating.

Shankton shipwreck: This place wants to be phenomenal. The views, and the natural beauty are spectacular. Sadly, that’s about where the good stuff ends. The house is showing some age, and there are some gaps you could throw a cat out through. The listing does not mention the fact that the house is down a significant number of stairs from the parking. It’s certainly not suitable for anyone with limited mobility. If you have all your worldly belongings, as we did, be prepared to sweat. The more serious issues, though no fault of the owner, were: due to the highway construction the power was switched off for nine to ten hours Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The food in the freezer was thawing, and with the power went the wifi and cel service. If we had not been trying to conduct business, it wouldn’t have been a huge issue. As it was, we had to spend our days elsewhere to get connectivity. Unfortunately it gets worse. The septic tank directly outside the kitchen window was being worked

The place was very clean, beautiful, and had a very well-equipped kitchen. Overall, we had a great stay. However, the room distribution could be improved, as most of the rooms are quite small, except for the master bedroom. Realistically, the house feels more comfortable for 8–10 guests rather than the 12 advertised. Also, access to the 5th room with the bunk beds is a bit complicated, especially for elderly guests or small children. Other than that, everything was great.

One of the nicest AirBnbs we have ever stayed in. The house is just beautiful and the view is spectacular! We loved watching the birds from the porch and even saw monkeys nearby. There are many beautiful beaches nearby and the nearest is just a 5-10 minute walk away. We also loved the pool!

Excellent place to go and relax. My family and I really enjoyed our time there. The host was also extremely responsive—super fast and helpful throughout our stay. However, be aware that there are several stairs to get to the house, and going to the beach definitely involves some cardio. This is important to consider if you are traveling with strollers, people with disabilities, or anyone with mobility issues. Otherwise, highly recommended.

Great and unique house at our favorite beach resort in Managua. The house sits over a gorgeous little bay and you can watch the waves crash over them all day. New highway makes access a breeze and San Juan Del Sur is now only a quick 30-minute drive away.

The house is very nice and the area is quite quiet; everything was in order and as described in the listing. However, there are things that need to be improved, including the check-in instructions and information about the Wi-Fi, among other things. When we checked out, they told us about the towels, but when we checked in, no one gave them to us. In the end, everything was fine, but it's something that needs to be improved. I also communicated in advance that I would be bringing my baby's nanny, and I didn't get a response; they just sent me the payment link. Of course, I paid, but if they improve communication, I think it would be a better experience. Regards,

Just got back from the most incredible stay in Nicaragua and I can honestly say everything was perfect for our family from start to finish. We travelled with a three year old who absolutely loved hearing the waves crashing on the rocks below and also spotting monkeys from the deck 🐒. The location was amazing — just a short walk to the private beach. There are definitely some stairs to get down from the parking area and the shoreline, but honestly, the little workout made it even better. By the time you reach the ocean, that first jump into the water feels extra refreshing and so worth it 🌊 Beautiful views, a peaceful atmosphere, great service, and even a built-in leg workout — I would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend! 🇳🇮🏝️💛

What a beautiful stay! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, the house was very clean and the AC in the rooms were great. Just a short walk to the beach and it feels at times like you have the entire beach to yourself. We even saw a Green sea turtle nesting.

An incredible experience, the view is wonderful, the house is very spacious and comfortable, the rooms are very clean and comfortable, the kitchen was impeccable, some of the furniture in the rooms had a little dust (tables) the pool, although it is not very large, has a spectacular view, I loved it, super relaxing and exceeded my expectations. The only problem we had was the power, it went out several times and the last day we practically had no power for hours, and what scared us the most was that there were scorpions, which I think is a bit normal because of the wood of the house, but it really is a house I would return to a thousand times. The host was super attentive, friendly and was there for every message. The guy who welcomed us at home was super friendly and respectful.

Shankton Harbour really stands out! The views from this cabin are incredible as it’s set on a cliffside overlooking the ocean. The cabin itself is beautiful and the kitchen had everything I needed-from easy pasta nights to full bbq! The silence and privacy of the property made it easy to disconnect and enjoy the moment. Plus, it’s close to several stunning beaches, which makes the location feel both secluded and convenient. One of my favorite properties so far. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!!!

The place is amazing . Maybe the nicest Airbnb I have ever been . Only real issue was the host wanted us to pay extra to check in early when the place had no power . The place lost power a few times including the whole morning of our check out . Keep your devices charged . At one point the host told me power is a luxury when I told him it was out . I didn’t particularly appreciate that . If that’s the case then put it on the description before we commit .

Beautiful place, the ocean view is amazing, the house is large, comfortable, and clean, we had a wonderful time as a family. The host was always available to answer our questions. We didn't have Wi-Fi on the third day, but we understood that this sometimes happens in the area. My only suggestion is to install stairs in the pool. I definitely hope to return.

The property is in a very beautiful, private location. The ocean view is wonderful and both patios are great for hanging out and relaxing. The house was clean and well-stocked. The hosts are very responsive and helped us organize a sunset boat cruise. Redonda Beach is a short walk from the house and is one of the best beaches in the country. The only thing is to be aware of the distance down the stone steps from the parking area to the house. Other than that, this is a great property and we look forward to coming to stay again. We had a fantastic weekend!

We loved our stay. The house is spacious, everything works, and the view is spectacular. The pool is bigger than it appears in the pictures and is great for lounging around looking and listening to the waves crash. The AC in the main BR was great (we didn't use the others) and the kitchen is well equipped. There's also a great grill if you need that. The food at the Aqua resort was actually quite good for the lunch we had there, although a bit pricey for Nicaragua. We also enjoyed going for drinks/meals in Playa Gigante.

The house from the cliff had the most beautiful view of the ocean and surrounding areas. We woke up the singing of birds every morning and it wasn't too hot in November when we went so the weather was very pleasant. There was the redonda Bay that was just a 5-minute walk from the house and we got to see monkeys and almost had a private beach to ourselves. The waves are very high but we were careful to stay on the edge. I hope to come back this town and enjoy this Airbnb once again.

Beautiful home overlooking the water with breathtaking views from their infinity pool. The home was clean and everyone on the grounds was extremely friendly and helpful. It’s a very short drive to playa gigante but the grounds has its own redonda bay which is pristine and a short walk from the home. Fairly easy to find on google maps if you’re driving yourself there but be aware of all the construction on the roads.

My family and I loved the place. It is definitely way better than the pictures. The people were always friendly, attentive, responsive, and polite. THEY ARE dog-friendly, which was super important to us, since they are part of our family. Due to the weather conditions, the house was getting dusty, and the host offered housekeeping service at no cost. The pool was being cleaned daily. The beach access is a few steps from the house, and the ambiance of the place itself is definitely worth your money. Upon our arrival, we got lost, but even without asking the security for help, someone had already come to us to guide us to the house. Overall, it was an excellent experience. My family and dogs were happy. Thank you!

Hidden Gem on the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua Nestled along Nicaragua’s Pacific Coast, the home features an small but nice infinity pool overlooking a peaceful ocean inlet, the kind of view you never get tired of. Just a short five-minute walk takes you to a secluded, virgin beach that feels like your own private paradise. The house itself was great! thoughtfully designed, and offered comfort and privacy.. Every detail of the place felt intentional, and the natural beauty surrounding it was unforgettable daily. We saw monkeys and exotic birds, literally, right outside of the house !! A truly special stay! highly recommended. Want to include any host praise, activity tips, or specific location info like the town or region? I can tailor it further.

We loved our stay in Shankton Harbor! The view is really something special and the house was comfortable and clean. It is only a 5 minute walk to Playa Redonda (though be prepared for stairs) where the restaurant at Aqua is - we had dinner there once and breakfast twice. Team Second left us delivery menus from a few other restaurants in Playa Gigante as well as suggestions to other nearby spots within driving distance. Communication was great! Looking forward to staying again.

The property itself is beautiful and very clean, but I wouldn’t recommend it for families with children or anyone needing flexibility. Unfortunately, the host has a strict, no-exceptions policy. We had two extra guests join us, and we weren’t allowed to enter the property until we updated the reservation—something that required internet access, which was frustrating at the gate. There’s no air conditioning in the living room or kitchen, which made those areas uncomfortable. On top of that, check-out was very stressful. Someone was literally at the door at 10:50 a.m., making us feel rushed and unable to double-check that we hadn’t left anything behind. The expectations for cleaning were also quite strict—we were required to leave the property exactly as we found it, including washing all the dishes. While the staff on-site were friendly, it was clear they were under pressure from the owner, who seemed overly rigid. There are definitely more welcoming and flexible options in the area.

Hola Pia, al momento de hacer la reservación la app le pidio la cantidad de personas llegando, al momento que ud se presentó a la entrada principal del desarrollo, los chicos de seguridad le dijeron que su reservación comparada a la cantidad de personas llegando en el momento no era correcta, lo cual usted respondio que la otra persona estaría saliendo "por la tarde/noche, lo cual no era verdad, le pidieron amablemente actualizar su reservación, a lo que usted reaccionó molesta, aun asi le dejaron ingresar, uds sabe las políticas de reserva de Airbnb, estaba violando una política, con respecto a la hora de salida, al momento de reservar la misma app le dice que hora es la salida, Francisco estaba ahi limpiando la piscina y les dijo que el les recibiria la casa, en ningún momento les dijo que tenía que salir inmediatamente, le mostro una funda de almohada de los cuartos que estaba manchada con tinta de lapicero, uds se nego y molesto, asi que su reseña y comentarios no son justos .

This was our second stay with Team Shankton at this lovely location and we loved our experience. Plenty of privacy, beauty, and amenities at your fingertips, with the town of Gigante, fishing, and other activities just a short drive away. I highly recommend visiting the monkeys up the hill or the beach just across the hill a very short walk away. Be sure to communicate any additional members who may join your party (we had 2 family members who ended up joining us last minute) and Team Shankton is very serious about their guest policy (which is communicated in the listing; our fault not theirs). In any case, I certainly recommend this listing for anyone looking for a once in a lifetime experience.
