Brooke

It is difficult to describe how spectacular this house was for a holiday stay. It was just stunning, particularly for us, the outside space. We had 3 nights which wasn't enough time to try out all the seating options! The house was so comfortable and the hosts had thought of everything. We particularly enjoyed the well equipped kitchen to cook meals, which we had not found easy in some of the other places we stayed. Brooke was very helpful, offering surfboards for our use (though there where no waves unfortunately while we where there). Because the house is a bit tricky to reach down a bumpy track, and as per Brookes description, this is not a touristy area so there is not much to do, we didn't feel the need to go out much and largely based ourselves at the house, enjoying the pool and cooking. We enjoyed seeing lots of iguanas/lizards, insects of everykind and birds. Overall, a wonderful experience, thank you!

We absolutely loved our stay! The house is stunning, comfortable & has everything you need. Brooke was super helpful before we arrived and arranged grocery delivery, and continued to check in and help throughout our stay. Flavia and Manuel are very kind. The surroundings are beautiful and we loved eating dinner outside during the sunset. Definitely recommend for a remote, relaxing vacation!

We loved our stay at the Hacienda, which felt like a piece of paradise to us. Imagine yourself dangling in a hammock in the shade, or swimming in the pool, looking at the horse grazing under the citrus trees, with the ocean rushing in the background. That’s it! Quiet setting, walkable to the beach, beautifully furnished and decorated with attention to detail. Both the indoor and outdoor areas are extremely well maintained. Flabia and Manuel are helpful and very supportive - Flavia’s local meals are extremely tasty and prepared with love. Manuel takes care of everything needed. Brooke is amazingly responsive. She thinks ahead and gives very good recommendations even beyond our stay at the Hacienda. Our stay exceeded our expectations - we had a hard time leaving and are already planning our next trip to the Hacienda. We definitely will be back!

We enjoyed our stay here. The home is beautiful and clean. It is remote so it takes some time to get anywhere, but everyone (Brooke, Manuel, and Flavia) were all friendly and helpful. It's about 1/3 of a mile walk down to the beach and during low tide, it was nice to walk/run along the shore. The air conditioning in the downstairs bedrooms was extremely beneficial. There are fans throughout the home, but the air conditioning made a huge difference for us as the heat and humidity in Nicaragua can be quite high at times. Overall, a beautiful area and home to relax in. Thank you, Brooke!

Brooke and Jordan’s house is absolutely beautiful, but that’s only the beginning of what makes the experience wonderful to stay there. As all of the other reviews have said, Manuel and Flavia are absolutely lovely and ensure that the place is pristine and comfortable to stay in. We also had Brooke arrange massages for us and Belkys was great. Definitely a deep tissue massage! I will say that with all of the great instructions Brooke provides, we didn’t heed the light recommendation to have a small 4x4 suv type vehicle and wish we would’ve as the entry to the house is about 10-15 minutes of unpaved roads and had quite a few big dips/very muddy areas that were sometimes difficult to transverse (but we did visit during rainy season). We still made it in and out but definitely had concerns because of the rain. The home, land, and amenities that they have set up will make you never want to leave. It’s beautiful and serene.

The photographs do not do this property justice. The house is by far the cleanest AirBnB we have ever stayed in. The bedrooms are extremely comfortable & tastefully decorated. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you could possibly need to prepare meals. The interior living spaces are airy & well thought out- the openness of the home allows the breeze to flow through. The outdoor spaces are the real show stoppers of this home- the pool is gorgeous, hammocks thoughtfully places, and chaise lounges provide shady retreats from the sun. We picked fresh fruit from the trees in the front yard and made delicious juices with the help of the caretaker Flavia. We would not have enjoyed our time nearly as much had Flavia not been a part of each & every day. Flavia’s meals were a hit for everyone in our family- ceviche and fresh tortillas are not to be missed. Manuel, the other caretaker, keeps the property in pristine condition and is always willing to help. Brooke is an awesome host!

Great place. Timeless. Very comfortable, nice pool, and amazing spots to chill. The location is great, the people who live in this community are wonderful. The beaches are fantastic, especially the one just about a 2 minutes walk out the front porch. So much fun and so relaxing.

Can’t say enough about this magical spot. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Brooks home. Sunset from the porch was the best we’ve ever seen. The home was spotless, and that says a lot because my wife is neurotic about cleanliness. Beautifully appointed furniture, great amenities, short walk to good surf. The caretakers took excellent care of us. We will be back!

WOW! WOW! WOW! From start to finish this place is amazing. Brooke, Manuel, & especially Flavia were simply awesome. Brooke is extremely responsive and detailed. Manuel was very helpful around property. And Flavia is the star of the show. Such a sweetheart. What caring mother and person. My family truly enjoyed waking up to her cooking breakfast, cleaning the house, and overall just making us comfortable. She will forever be a part of our family. The house is such a peaceful hidden gem. We loved the tranquility of the space. Loved walking to the beach every morning and the pool is beautiful. We will for sure be back next year and every year after. Thank you to Brooke and her team for making our stay incredible. Brian

Wow, wow, wow! Beautiful property, beautiful people, wonderful everything! Brooke was absolutely incredible - like having a private conscierge for our three-week stay! Just a text away, Brooke helped us coordinate everything from groceries to private drivers and tours, surfboard rentals, reccos for the best pizzas and coffees, boat trips, massages and everything in-between! What an incredible experience! Photos of Brooke and Jordan's beautiful home to follow!

What a special place. Spectacularly beautiful surroundings in what felt like an artists retreat in Italy! The salt water pool, the cool polished cement, the rocking chairs, exceptionally stocked kitchen and kind local staff - you won’t find another home like this in Nicaragua. Brooke is a great communicator and there is a lot of love in the details and design of this property. It is off the grid and a true escape in nature - we enjoyed cocktails and massages on the porch and walks to the expansive and nearly empty beach. Could not have asked for a more positive experience. Thank you, Brooke!

Superb house, but above all a superb field to play and enjoy nature with peace of mind. Perfect for families, safe for our baby and several games, toys and activities for our 5-year-old boy. Comfortable beds, very well-equipped kitchen, but most importantly, a terrace where you can easily spend the day with hammocks, sun loungers, BBQ area, fruit trees nearby and more!! Great communication with Brooke and impeccable service from Manuel and Flavia, employees who take care of the house. I highly recommend this house.

The house is very nice and comfortable. It is located in a beautiful and quiet place. Brooke was on the lookout and they make you feel at home. The person who helps in the house makes a very rich ceviche. We look forward to coming back again soon.

All good words for this one month-long stay. The house is simply perfect and the sunsets are breathtaking. The place offers beautiful privacy and assured tranquility. Brooke was friendly, responsive and made sure our stay was enjoyable. We can only recommend the place!!

It's definitely a magical place! We loved everything! The house is designed to enjoy every moment of the day. The beach is very close, we walked every morning and also enjoyed seeing the arrivals of fishing boats and rows of people, buying fresh fish. We tried a delicious soup and ceviche, made by Flavia, she is an exquisite cook! Many thanks to Manuel for his help and attention. We are looking forward to returning to the place again. Thank you Brook for creating this wonderful place
