Beautiful place and great hosts. The on-site staff is beyond friendly and helpful. Location couldn't be better to explore Surf City, but sufficiently private that you can spend a quiet night if you so wish

Nora and Carmen's home was paradise. They were friendly, responsive and made the entire experience seamless from check in to check out. There staff Sergio and Dina were amazing and always going the extra mile. My friends and I had an amazing stay in their beautiful beach home! The location was perfect! Steps from the beach with breathtaking ocean views and walking distance to restaurants, bars etc. I highly recommend this beautiful beach home! We would absolutely love to stay here again!

The location of the house is great, and the communication, service, and amenities of the house are very good. Definitely a place to go back to

Esymar is a one of a kind place with a location that is genuinely hard to beat. The surf breaks are a short walk, the town is close enough to be convenient but far enough to feel like your own private escape. Every room had ice cold AC and Wifi, and the architecture of the house is beautiful in a way that photos honestly cannot capture. We would absolutely come back. A few things worth knowing before you book: the kitchen could use a deep clean, there were some cockroaches (somewhat expected in a coastal tropical setting), and the coffee maker did not work during our stay. The animals on the property are part of the charm and totally unique, but guests should know there can be some mess from the roosters, quails, and the dog that wanders through. For the right traveler who appreciates a raw, authentic coastal experience with an unbeatable location, this place delivers

This was our 3rd year at Esymar! We absolutely love the location, the house, and Sergio and Dina are amazing. One hiccup - they’ve been making some nice updates to the house, but unfortunately there are 3 less beds than shown in the photos as they were removed since last time we were there. We were hosting a yoga retreat and had to redo all the room assignments onsite. Otherwise cannot recommend enough

Our group of 12 had an absolutely amazing stay. The home was exactly as advertised and exceeded our expectations—it was truly everything we were looking for. The gated property provided an added sense of safety, which we really appreciated. The house was clean, well maintained, and the layout worked perfectly for our group. The views were absolutely stunning, and we loved having the option to walk to the beach or relax and enjoy the pool. The daily staff on the property were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Nora was a fantastic host—extremely responsive, kind, and always willing to help with anything we needed. We were especially grateful that she kindly allowed us to stay past checkout when our flight was delayed multiple times. Overall, we loved our time here and would absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a peaceful place to stay that’s still close to great restaurants, bars, and the boardwalk, all just minutes away.

Beautiful place ✨ From the time we got there we were completely in love. The photos don't do justice to how beautiful it is in person; every corner is cared for with great detail and the decoration is simply beautiful. The space is very comfortable, cozy and super well equipped, we didn't need anything at all. The vibe of the place is amazing, perfect for resting, disconnecting and enjoying the sea. In addition, the people who take care of the property are lovely: very attentive, friendly and always willing to help, which makes the experience even more special. It's definitely a place that's 100% worth it. We have wonderful memories and we would definitely come back a thousand times over. We love this place 💙🌊✨

If your looking for a modern 5 star place then this may not be for you. If your looking for a comfortable place with great views, perfect location then this is it. I think its overpriced but do to supply and demand for a whole house to accommodate large groups in Tunco Beach, there wasnt many choices. The bedrooms were nice, airconditioned and 3 have there own bathrooms. The largest bedroom upstairs with killer views doesnt have a bathroom. The pool was very refreshing and great for kids. Access to the rocky beach and no place to lay out but great for surfers. We had a great time and no real complaints on the structure but it needs TLC. I dont mind chickens around but they can be a nuisance. Loved the dog! The staff was hot and cold. On initial arrival they seemed annoyed that I had a lot of questions. I have never been to El Salvador and I just wanted to set expectations. They did warm up a little. Couldnt use grill near kitchen and had to use it in one distant location only.

El Salvador is beautiful and this place is absolutely amazing! Sergio who takes care of place is the best! He’s so helpful in every way and made us very comfortable and safe! You can walk to so many restaurants and shops from property! If you surf you won’t find a better spot right out your back steps! Best waves in central America! The waterfalls and volcanoes are close and highly recommended. We loved this place!

This was our second stay at Esymar and it’s undergone some lovely renovations since our last stay in 2022. For this trip we hosted a surf and yoga retreat for a small group of 10. Best location in El Tunco! Sergio and Dina were so accommodating onsite and our whole group just adored everything about it from the views to the rooms to the pets - miss you already Licenciado! Can’t wait to go back.

I have mixed feeling about this rental. The house is traditional and could be a lot better with some much needed TLC. Three of the bathrooms are en-suite and 3 are outside the house. There isn’t any hot water, which wasn’t terrible given the climate. The experience lacked basic amenities like shampoo and there was just hand soap for the showers. The rooms are basic, but clean and the mattresses decent. More of a hostel vibe than Airbnb. The communication could be greatly improved as there weren’t any check-in instructions and the host did not respond to several messages. The saving grace for this house is the location, which is incomparable. The view is magnificent and it’s literally steps to all the best El Tunco has to offer.

This Airbnb is truly a slice of paradise! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the sheer beauty of the property. The views are absolutely insane—breathtaking panoramas in every direction, making every sunrise and sunset feel like something out of a dream. The home itself is immaculate, both in cleanliness and in design. Every little detail has been carefully thought out, making for a stay that is as luxurious as it is comfortable. The service was nothing short of perfection—warm, welcoming, and always available to ensure everything was just right. It’s rare to find a place that feels this perfect, but this property truly exceeded all expectations. I would love the opportunity to return in the future, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. If you're considering staying here, don’t hesitate—you will not be disappointed!

Our family had a wonderful stay in El Tunco. This property is beautiful with amazing views and a pool that overlooks the beach. The location of this home was very convenient with several restaurants and shops within walking distance. The staff consisting of Sergio, Dina, and Daniella were incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful. Our family will miss the resident dog "Licenciado" who is very sweet and loving and the kids were delighted with the bunnies on the property as well as an assortment of birds . Our trip to El Salvador was incredible and if we return to El Savaldor in the future we would rent this property again. Thank you Nora, Sergio, Dina, Daniella, and Licenciado.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful beach house. The views and location are perfect!! We loved the various pets around the property. Beware the roosters will wake you up early but that did not bother us at all. We cannot say enough good things about the staff, Sergio and Dina were so friendly and helpful to us and were around whenever we needed something, but also gave us privacy. The pool is well kept and we enjoyed our afternoons swimming and laying in the hammocks. The bathrooms could use a deep clean and the place needs some repairs here and there, but they are working on it between guests. Overall it was a fabulous stay and we will definitely be back!

Peaceful property, great location, beautiful view, helpful on site staff, fairly priced. Visited with a group of friends. The place offered great communal table and pool to hang out, rooms with comfortable beds and AC to retreat to, and ease to get to the water and town. The place is not luxury, but is clean, dignified, and spacious. The staff clean daily and are available to assist with various one off requests and as eyes for safety. As watchouts, the accommodations are a little older, some bedrooms are not ensuite, and around the periphery of the property (not areas advertised in the description) there are a bunch of random structures and animals (rabbits, turkeys, etc.). Overall, if you want space for plenty of people to sleep and hang outside, well located to all El Tunco offers, at a fair price, this makes for a really great option!

Perfect place to stay if you love to surf. Will definitely stay here again

The place was as described but the house and the pool is a bit neglected, could use some TLC and would be great. Maybe also place more ceiling fans. Sergio and his team were out of this world. Extremely helpful and caring. 100/10 Room 1 could use more blinds in order to improve privacy. Location is spectacular. Would definitely stay here again! The animals give a farm vibe as well!

Host Response

Muchas gracias por tus comentarios , comentarte que este mes haremos las restauraciones y las mejoras necesarias para el agrado de nuestros huéspedes, tomaremos en cuenta tus observaciones. Te esperamos nuevamente!

The house was beautiful but there needs to be more attention to detail to the cleanliness of the bathrooms, particularly to the sink and toilet area. It smelled like urine and half cleaned. There was a bit of dirt accumulated around the sink on the floor and around the toilet. It smelled like the same rag was used to clean everything. When I stay at an Airbnb I expect a cleaner bathroom than a public place. Shower area was cleaner however. The house was very charming but this house needs maintenance asap before it gets worse. Fresh paint on the walls, fixing the chipping paint on the pool, and better cleaning services are key to make this Airbnb one of the best stays. This place has a rustic feel but a little more maintenance will not hurt. Other than the issues mentioned above, the place was beautiful and the location was super convenient.

The location of the house is excellent, located in the center of the tunco and within walking distance of restaurants, shops, beach and nightlife. However, the house is in very poor condition and needs quite a bit of maintenance. Too bad because the house is quite beautiful, but they have it very neglected.

This place is amazing with a beautiful view! The house is at the beginning of where the boardwalk is and right next to the "El Tunco" sign and if you walk the boardwalk to the other end you'll get to the famous "El Tunco" rock formation in the ocean. Plenty of restaurants to eat at from big restaurants to little mom and pops shops all walking distances with ease. Plenty of space in the house and last but not least Sergio the host there tending to the home was amazing and very friendly and definitely made the stay more memorable and joyful.
