The place exceeded my expectations. It's surrounded by nature, quiet and private. The house had spacious areas that were very well ventilated and bright. Everything was as shown in the photos and more. I would definitely stay there again. It wasn't difficult to get there, and the directions to get there were very clear, with convenient access and relatively close to beaches and shops.

Highly recommended for those who want to unwind and relax. The house offers everything you need to not want to go out and to relax. The beaches are close by. The house is well-organized, clean and has all the necessary appliances.

Excellent location, beautiful views, very good service and a very well-equipped house so you don't have to worry about anything

very nice place , peaceful and quiet.

It was a wonderful experience. The house was just as shown in the photos. Super clean and well maintained. Loved it too much. The spectacular beach I will definitely come back.

Absolutely beautiful place on the most peaceful beach. Our family had such a wonderful time watching sunsets, jumping waves and swimming in the pool. The pool is so great for small kids too as there is a very shallow end as well as a deep side. It made our time there even better with a pool so safe and fun for little ones. The communication was seamless and the house staff was so helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We will be back!

Architect-designed house with natural ventilation above the forest. Wood predominates with Japanese inspiration. View of the sea, 5 minutes by car from the Majagual/Matilde beaches.

Amazing host and place. Thank you for having us

Great host, great place, great beach. 5 Stars.

The house was exactly what I was looking for. Something close to the beach but with natural surrounding life and trees. The morning and evenings were the best which included birds chipping and monkey chimps running around. The home was very comfy and quiet unlike other homes which have neighbors right next to you. It was a quick 5 minute drive down the hill to Madera beach. SJDS town was approximately 10-15 mins from the house.

Very nice property. Great location. Staff were helpful.

Amazing place and staff onsite

This place is amazing! We loved our stay it was exactly what we were looking for. Very relaxing the view is simply incredible. We got to see monkeys, plenty of birds, praying mantis and iguanas. The pool was a life saver for the hot days. I would recommend to anyone, we really enjoyed our stay and were sad to go.

Casa Selva has everything you need to enjoy a good vacation in peace and quiet, and it has everything you need. We were able to bring our 3 pets with no problem.

I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb. The host was incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout my trip. The place was exactly as described clean, comfortable, and well equipped with everything I needed. Check-in was easy, and the host made me feel very welcome from the beginning. The location was also great and convenient for exploring the area. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place to other travelers!

This house was amazing for my 22nd birthday. Literally amazing. It was beautiful looked just like the pictures and very very safe. Security is on site 24hrs. Very easy to get around and the pool is just the perfect thing. I wouldn’t change my stay for a thing it was incredible and Nicaragua doesn’t owe me anything i enjoyed my stay. I 10/10 recommend and will definitely want to come back.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful beach house in a perfect location! It was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The views were incredible, and the host was excellent to work with. We loved every minute of our stay and would definitely return.

This was our second time staying and had a blast! The views are gorgeous and we spent hours daily in the new pool! Maynor and Keyling took such good care of us and are just lovely people. Laura was extremely communicative and helpful. Hope to stay here again in years to come!

It was a gorgeous property. Enjoyed the private pool, the showers by the pool, the barbecue and the cabanas. The vibe was very cute , modern and it was tastefully done. Ac’s , Laundry worked really well. The caretaker Claudia on the property was very responsive and helpful and took good care of us. She responded to any potential issues right away. We also had her prep meals for us and pick up groceries which she did nicely for a good rate. The only thing is that the road access to the property was a little difficult. And there was water collected in a pot hole which some taxis were apprehensive to drive on. We did not rent a car which was good, but did find two taxi options who would come and pick us up and take us to where we need to go so that ended up not being a real problem for us. Overall, highly recommend this place !

Excellent place, very clean, very tidy and complete. You do need a 4x4 to get to the house, but it's totally worth it.

The Japanese inspired home was terrific. We stayed there 17 days in May 2026. Fortunately it was a dry May which reduced the bugginess, but was also had some very hot days. The home receives plenty of breeze on the hillside. And with both a ceiling fan and floor fan, we were able to feel comfortable at night. Howler monkeys were quite loud but typically only making their calls in the early evening and early morning. My wife and I are early risers so this didn’t affect me too much. During the week we pretty much only heard the wind, birds and monkeys. During the weekend the adjacent neighbor likes to crank up his music, and you only need to politely ask him to turn it down. Casa Culebra is the closest home rental to the swimming pool. It’s just across the road and won a few steps. Both the pool area and the home has an outdoor shower to cool off or remove sand from the beach. We mostly prepared our own meals. The kitchen is well stocked with sharp knives and outdoor BBQ.

Great place! The host was easy to reach and the villa is accurately represented. Would book again without a doubt!

We loved this Airbnb. Prime location, impeccable design and cleanliness. Very comfortable and safe. The 5-star staff, the One of the best hosts. We loved it, we'll definitely be back.

We had a super nice Weekend! The pool is a total Highlight, you do absolutly need a 4x4 to get there the way is really steep! Our first night the electricity went off for a while but came back on again not that long after! Over all we had an amaizing stay und enjoyed our time here a lot.

Casa Luna was perfect for our family. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. The pool was incredible and the house was just a couple minutes from beautiful beaches. Laura and Vero were so helpful. We hope to visit Casa Luna again soon.

We had a lovely stay at Laura's. The accommodation is spacious and tidy. The kitchen is well equipped. The outdoor space is very nice for dining in the heart of nature. Laura sent us clear check-in instructions. The last stretch of road to get to the property is a bit more challenging, but an SUV can get you there. You can also walk there if you're willing to sweat a bit (that's what we did). Access to the beach is easy, and Playa Maderas beach is great. Beautiful fine sand and relatively uncrowded. I would recommned this property.

We loved this house! The sunset view from the living room is stunning! The pool was a real treat at the end of the day. And we all really enjoyed the two bodyboards for playing in the waves at Playa Maderas. We highly recommend it!

A very nice place with great views and nature. We ended up arriving late, and Oscar came to meet us to take us to the house. He was very kind and attentive the whole time. Highly recommended, and we would definitely return.

Wonderful piece of paradise on the beach

Absolutely stunning and extremely comfortable. We loved everything, these little houses are gems hidden on top the hill. The house is made out of concrete, wood and bamboo, a beautiful mix, and the walls are basically mosquito nets, so the wind is constantly blowing through every room of the villa. So despite the heat and the fact that there is no A/C, chilling inside the house in the middle of the afternoon is still very enjoyable. Only feedback we’d have is the absence of a guard to lift the gate up at night and early in the morning was problematic. We came back from San Juan around 10PM and had to scream up the hill for twenty minutes before a guard came to let us in. We then left early in the morning at 6:30AM and had the same problem but to get out. Still, despite this little inconvenience, our stay was amazing and we all highly recommend it !

Wow!! This place has one of the best ocean views I have seen with the most beautiful sunsets. Beautiful and luxurious, fully stocked kitchen and a refreshing clean pool. Easy to navigate to and from SJDS once you do the route once. Bed was super comfy and everything was clean. Just watch out for critters 🦂

Laura, Vero, the rest of the staff, everyone is cool, agreeable, efficient. The Perch is exactly what we were looking for: a place in nature, away from the crowd, but close to the beach (5 minutes by car) and not far from the village. We will be back!!!!!

Lovely, very nice place

Very nice house and built for good ventilation. Very high up on a hill! The need of a 4x4 is real! Thanks for the rec.

Casa Tres Peces felt like home away from home. Comfy beds, full amenities including laundry, super fast WiFi….we had everything we needed to work from the house for a month. There is a new highway that makes transportation to activities quick and easy. Laura and our local host Vero, answered every question super fast, they provided tons of helpful recommendations, and were really friendly hosts. Everything about this stay was perfect, we will be back!

10/10 Best place I’ve stay in a long time! Everything was great! 😊 well recommended. I’m definitely staying here next trip!

Beautiful place

Casa Selva is a beautiful house. Super great architecture. House was well equipped- kitchen was perfect for easy breakfast at home. We made smoothies, toast and coffee every morning. Would head to the beach for the day and then come back to enjoy a cerveza on the porch and watch the sunset. Nice living room area to watch movies as a family after dark. We really were only there to sleep, eat breakfast and relax in the evenings. So it suited our needs well. The location up on the hill was awesome for lingering sunset views. We did love the house and the hosts were very responsive, welcoming and helpful. A friendly PSA to anyone who is not a heavy sleeper- the house is VERY WINDY. The wind just blows and blows, crazy strong gusts coming from every which way and it made it impossible to get a good nights rest. It is an open air design in an extremely windy location. Know what you’re signing up for and be prepared for potentially restless sleep.

We cannot say enough positive things about The Perch! Our group of 4 only spent 3 nights there, but it was absolute perfection. Laura and Veronica were incredibly helpful and always available to answer any questions we had. Also, if you’re keen on spending a quiet evening in, we would highly recommend hiring Erica (a local friend of our hosts) to come cook for you. Her food was authentic and one of the best meals we experienced during our trip to Nicaragua. We had such an amazing stay, and we would most definitely return!

This place is amazing. Well hidden away in the beautiful nature of Nicaragua. We had the fortune of waking up to a family of apes just outside our bedroom. The pool was very peacefull and just a cool place to hang out. They are building a new road closeby which will be a plus in the future. Very close to amazing beaches. Just amazing!

Laura house was perfect! Beautiful surroundings. We loved walking down to the beach everyday. I would say if you have babies it’s a little stressful with the open space, but we knew that coming in. Overall great experience. The caretakers were exceptional!

The location is excellent for those looking to be close to the ocean but at the same time surrounded by nature. The view from the terrace overlooking the ocean is beautiful. The pool was very clean, and the service before and during the stay was very good 👌🏼 100% recommended *If you don’t have a 4x4 vehicle, don’t try it.* The road isn't bad, but you need to drive carefully.

Hi Laura, Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay! We truly loved our time here in Nicaragua. Your home was beautiful, comfortable, and the perfect place to relax and enjoy our trip. Everything was seamless from start to finish, and we really appreciated your hospitality and attention to detail. It made the whole experience stress-free and memorable for us. Thank you again for opening your home to us — we would absolutely love to come back someday! All the best, Jordan

This spot is very cool! We loved the views, the unit is large and beautiful and comes with many amenities. The pool is a very short walk off the back patio and relaxing, although we had to clean it often but I don’t think you can blame the hosts for the wind for knocking leafs into the pool all day. A few visitors like scorpions and spiders but they provided lots of spray and every time we found an unwanted guest, it was already dead from the spray. Again - you can’t fight your surroundings, you’re right in the thick of nature and all its beauty. We loved the howler monkeys and even had a loud kitty come by for hellos. Although we missed him (small and ginger) the last few days - hope he is ok! Only critique is the bed was quite hard. And the wind was a lot if you’re in the front room but the room by the patio was much better. Overall - loved it!

Great! It's possible to swim to the island! Note that there is no soap, iron or dryer. Otherwise everything is perfect

This is one of the best places we've rented in Nicaragua! Everything you need is in the kitchen, the bedding is clean, bathroom accessories and towels too! The view from the terrace is incredible, I didn't want to leave the house at all! Only positive emotions! We will definitely come back here more than once.

We loved our stay! Lauras place is beautiful, has incredible views and was perfect for what we were looking for. We loved it so much we extended our time there and Veronica who looked after us during our stay was very responsive and helpful with absolutely everything we needed. Would 10/10 recommend you stay here for as long as you can and we would be so happy to come and visit again.

We had a great stay at Casa Serena. The accommodations have a beautiful view overlooking the ocean with amazing sunsets every night. The open air home is beautiful, rustic and fit into its natural surroundings very well. The pool was amazing, a must have at 30°. Casa Serena is in a very good location close to beaches, a resort, and restaurants. During our two week stay we saw many beautiful birds, howler monkeys, a few spiders, scorpions, and centipedes nothing that you wouldn’t expect living in the jungle. If you’re a light sleeper, I’d suggest earplugs.

A corner of paradise. My partner and I had a really good time... being immersed in nature and hearing its sounds was a "regenerating" experience. The house is very nice and well maintained, and there is everything you need. The presence of a washer and dryer is also excellent.

Thank you for the wonderful stay at your house. It was truly a dream! We felt at home from the first moment and were able to enjoy the time to the fullest. Especially the atmosphere, the tranquility and the loving details made our stay unforgettable. Even if the way to the house is a bit challenging, it is definitely worth it – the arrival and the view are worth every effort. We highly recommend this place and would love to come back anytime. Thank you for everything and warm regards

Laura’s house is absolutely incredible. Thoughtful design with a nice open air concept, and it had everything we needed and more!

We had a great time in this beautiful home. Everyone enjoyed all the amenities. Elsey was a great host , she was very fast in responding. The recommended chefs Abraham and Manuel were great ! The food was delicious. Our large group enjoyed the location and the direct access to the beach with great views . Thank you guys till next time 👍🏽

The villa was absolutely gorgeous. Perched in the hills and overlooking the forest and sea, it was stunning. We had a great time and our hosts were very responsive. We had a wonderful massage, went horse back riding and had car service scheduled - all via our hosts’ recommendations. Overall a great stay. — We stayed mostly in the villa. If you want to visit the center, it is a 20 minute drive and you will need a 4x4 for the steep hills. There are no nearby restaurants or stores nearby that we were aware of.

We had a wonderful week in this house. It's even better than in photos! It was very clean, and there was even a full cleaning of the house halfway through the stay. The pool was cleaned every day. The staff was lovely.

Beautiful villa in a good quiet location! We'll go back!

We had a phenomenal time at Casa de Serena by balcones, waking up to that view undisturbed was a dream. It's a sprawling property for a couple and it really felt magical. If you do have an option to fly in through Managua definitely do so, Liberia is far more stressful, as the the border crossing can take hours and requires expensive private taxis to get back for your flight. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful respite, I wish I was still there.

Villa Pinolera is a Paradise! We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful place. The house itself is stunning, incredible views and the staff 10/10 Highly recommended.

Let me just start this by saying how amazing Laura, Veronica and the rest of the team are. Communication was top notch. This amazing host was so flexible even when a situation arose she was quick to make an alteration in my booking, and still being warm and empathetic toward my situation. It’s with great dismay I didn’t get to meet Laura in person I can already tell what type person she is. I hope one day I get to stay at one of your amazing properties and I hope that one day is soon. Thank you so much for being selfless and so helpful.

The house was very nice and perfectly clean. The location is excellent, everything was comfortable and pleasant during the stay. I would definitely rent it again. Highly recommended.

The house was gorgeous. It was also very functional, with everything having its place. There are no glass windows, only mosquito screens, allowing fresh air to flow through the house at all times. It was pristine and perfectly clean. Laura was very helpful and professional. One minor consideration, not directly related to the house itself: unbeknownst to us, the area is currently undergoing major transformation. New roads are being built and some roads are blocked, which can make getting around a bit tricky ... but the house itself is truly a wonderful place to stay.

Very nice view of the sea and sunset in a very quiet location without neighbors. I would go back.

Wonderful villa and location - best on the beach. Meynor and Keyling who look after the house were brilliant. Couldn't be better all in all.

Amazing stay at Casa Colina, stunning house with a clean pool and super responsive staff. The location was ocean accessible via a 10 minute drive and the pool a 2 minute walk from the house. Please note that in addition to 4 wheel drive being absolutely necessary, strong driving skills and calm nerves are super helpful in reaching the house. That being said, completely worth it for the view, hot water, house aesthetics, and accessibility to playa maderas. Visit cafe machete for brunch!!

Great place just outside of San Juan Del Sur. Beautiful beach/bay that we enjoyed every day. Overall a great stay and we would come back!

We had some fantastic days in this wonderful location! Very beautiful house and a perfect quiet location.

Incredible experience in the Jungle! Close to beaches and restaurants if you have some sort of transportation. Bugs were not bad at all and there was a very nice breeze.

Amazing 🤩 to say the least. Beautiful layout, beautiful view. Theres a beach about a 10 mins walk down the hill and each side has beautiful views to enjoy your time. The host was responsive, accommodating, and helpful through and through. Would 100% go back. I would highly suggest arranging the chef, Erika, to come and cook you a meal, soooooo delicious, and she was so sweet too; and decently priced considering how tasty the meal was. Don’t buy groceries, ask for Erika; much better and prices balance out. We LOVED this property. LOVED IT 😍🤩🤯☀️🥰

We loved it.

A truly exceptional place! The house is splendid, perfectly equipped and bathed in fresh air thanks to natural ventilation — no air conditioning needed here. We fully experience the jungle: some amazing insects, but it's all part of the charm of the place. I initially received directions that were no longer up to date, which made me get lost while walking to the beach. Fortunately, Veronica responded to my messages and guided me as best she could. The construction noise was present at the beginning of my stay, but the last two nights were magically quiet. On the other hand, a party in the area lasted until 3 am — and the presence of several drunk people while I was alone made me a little insecure. I didn't expect it, especially since the rules mention a curfew at 10 p.m. Despite these unforeseen events, the place remains beautiful and unique. It feels really exotic.

The house in the jungle is wonderful. It feels immersed in nature, yet very thoughtfully designed.

A place if you want some peace and if you want to be intimate with your love one. Beach access is best to drive. Overall it is a good place.

this place was amazing, I cant tell ypu enough. The 5 minute drive to a beautiful beach with JKitchen bar restaurant was soo convenient. The beds were so comfortable as well. We had a great stay. and would recommend or stay again

Great place in the jungle, we extended our stay 1 week. Close to beaches, house very well equipped. High speed internet works flawlessly

This spot is so cool! You need 4x4 and some clearance for sure. We were moved from another home to here and this place was so cool! Monkeys 🐒 in the trees all around the house, cool birds, a view of the ocean and a super clean place. Big home for 2 people and definitely a perfect spot for 2 couples. I will warn you you can hear the coast highway construction from pretty much anywhere near there. They worked 7 days a week starting at 6am till about 8pm. Home was fully stocked. Gated community with security and close to the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

We can’t say enough positive things about our stay. This place has been perfect, and Laura is the ideal host—responsive, generous, helpful, etc.

Everything is fine, thank you very much!

Beautiful house with the rare comforts and quality in a sacred forest-beach mix. The house has a privileged location with a design that offers a view of both the rising sun and the sunset. Thanks for letting us enjoy the place.

As always, it's a pleasure to visit Casa Selva! We had a great time

A very nice house and a good option for a hassle-free weekend getaway. A spacious social area between the terrace, pool, and kitchen, which makes everything feel comfortable inside the house.

Incredible place. We stayed here 3 months and could have stayed 3 years. Such a special place.

Was amazing from start to finish. The view, the location, the wildlife, the kitchen… all fantastic and worth the money. Yes, there was some noise from the coastal highway being build, which we knew about when we booked, but it was minimal and we could easily drown it out.

We saw monkeys on the way to the pool right after we arrived. We keep coming back to because of the tranquil jungle location overlooking a valley out to the ocean. Our whole family loves this place.

Beautiful location.

Incredible place to stay! Reviews speak for themself on this property. The construction noise wasn't bad and coincidentally cause families of howler monkeys to come through the area each morning. There was one power outage , but the house has battery backup on the refrigerator etc. Cheese tour at Las Delicias de Francia, a nearby farm, highly recommend. Laura was a great host, both responsive and proactive to let us know about the power. The other reviews cover it all. It is a serene environment away from the hustle of SJDS. The nearby restaurants were great with fair prices. The outdoor area is where we spent most of our time. That pool is massive and so relaxing. Staff also was A+ and always checked when/if they could come on property. This is huge as many other places we have stayed in CenAm have an onsite gardener or other staff always on property. This place has privacy.

It’s always tough to determine how nice an Airbnb will be based on photos alone, but Casa Serena met expectations and was such a great little oasis. The locals at Mujagual were so friendly and Playa Maderas’ surf break was epic! We absolutely loved the place and would highly recommend to our friends.

Great place! I had a great time, really clean, people really nice

Incredible place, great attention to detail. If you’re looking for a quiet secluded spot away from town this is it.

Everything was excellent, a very nice house, we had a very pleasant weekend. The spaces of the house are excellent for a good time of relaxation, the view is very nice, the rooms are super comfortable. Laura super friendly and was quick to respond during the reservation and Verónica always pending during our stay and super friendly as well. We are very pleased and would certainly love to return. Thank you Laura and Veronica!

Maybe my favorite AirBnb I’ve ever stayed — the view is unbelievable and Oscar next door is a gem!
