Excellent stay, a comfortable place to spend time as a family. The service was excellent and the facilities were impeccable.

Excelente estadía, un lugar cómodo para pasar en familia, la atención fue excelente y las instalaciones impecables

Very nice to share as a family. It has everything. You pay 1 deposit but they return it. The place is quite cool and windy.

Muy bonito para compartir en familia. tiene de todo . Se paga 1 depósito pero lo devuelven. El lugar es bastante fresco y ventoso.

A 10 out of 10. Everything was perfect. We loved the house and the place. Highly recommended!

Un 10 de 10 todo perfecto, nos encanto la casa y el lugar.. super recomendado!

Our stay was short, but excellent. Thank you Erick for hosting us. Jennifer was great. Thank you!

Excellent place to visit, recommend 10/10, nice place to come with your family, they very friendly, and the spot was very clean

Nice, clean place, very good location, restaurant nearby, etc.

lugar , agradable,  limpio muy buena ubicacion , restaurante serca , etc

The service was very friendly and excellent, and the house was very nice, clean, and tidy. Very nice place to share with the family

La atención fue muy amable y excelente, y la casa muy bonita limpia y ordenada. Muy agradable lugar para compartir en familia

Erick and his assistant were very helpful and proactive, the place was beautiful

Very nice house, fully equipped, and easily accessible. 40 minutes from San Juan del Sur Beach.

Muy bonita casa, full equipada y de fácil acceso. A 40 minutos de la playa San Juan del Sur.

The location and the house are perfect for a stay.

La ubicación y la casa es perfecta para hospedarse

Very nice house, in a very nice area, it met the description, very clean, very tidy and very well equipped with flexible check-in and check-out.

Casa muy bonita, en una zona muy bonita, cumplía con la descripción, muy limpia, muy ordenada y muy equipada con flexibilidad de entrada y salida.

We enjoyed this beautiful home: spacious rooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and a lovely pool and located right on the beach. However, guests should be aware of: 1- Cash Deposit: A cash deposit was requested at arrival. As an Airbnb host, I find this deviates from AirCover standards and risks conflict. Our deposit was returned, but the process is non-standard. 2- Electricity Surcharge: This is our main concern. We paid at the end a cash surcharge that increased our 4-night stay by 10%. The $1/kWh rate is 10x the local market price in Nicaragua. This feels like a way to display a lower "facial value" for the rental while reclaiming the profit at the end via hidden costs. Furthermore, the 40kWh/day limit is unrealistic; we exceeded it despite keeping doors closed and turning AC off at night. Note: while these 2 points were mentionned in the listing, we missed them. We strongly suggest the host integrates these costs into the daily rate to ensure transparency and avoid cash transactions.

The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, the TV and internet worked, the pool was clean and the exterior of the house was beautiful, a fan in the living room would be great. But actually everything is ok. Private space.

La casa estaba limpia , las cama cómodas , funcionamiento de la TV e internet , piscina limpia y bello exterior de la casa , un ventilador en la sala estaría súper bien. Pero en realidad todo ok . Espacio privado .

Really a very nice and cozy place, your host and workers do an amazing job with customer service and your facilities. The facilities are excellent, they are very nice and have many nice spots to take photos and be with the family! The house is very well equipped and we didn't need to worry about anything, it was very worth it

Realmente un lugar muy lindo y acogedor, su anfitrión y trabajadores hacen un trabajo increíble con la atención al cliente y sus instalaciones. Las instalaciones son excelentes, son muy bonitas y tiene muchos spot bonitos para tomarse fotos y estar en familia! La casa está muy bien equipada y no necesitamos preocuparnos por nada, valió mucho la pena

Everything was great my family and i felt right at home Jennifer, (Erick’s assistant)was great and even made some suggestions for places to eat. Erick was very responsive to everything i asked! Will definitely book again in the future.

An excellent place, pleasant, de-stressing and with a beautiful and unparalleled view.

Un excelente lugar agradable, desestresante y con una hermosa vista e inigualable.

A spacious, nice and fully equipped accommodation, all its facilities are well organized and super equipped. Erick is a very friendly and communicative person, as is the person in charge of the accommodation.

Un alojamiento amplio, lindo y sumamente equipado, todas sus instalaciones están bien organizadas y súper equipadas. Erick es una persona sumamente amable y comunicativa al igual que la encargada de entregar el hospedaje.

The house is nice. The furniture is nice. The location is nice, close to the port and bars, restaurants, and convenience stores. We did have to pay about $15 extra for the electricity even though we came at a cooler time of year, so keep that in mind.

The house was very nice, the pool was excellent and clean, my daughter enjoyed it a lot. They ask for a deposit of 100 dollars that they return to you when you hand over the keys and the girl in charge verifies that everything is fine and there is no damage to the property. The proximity to San Jorge beach is great, just a few steps away. We had problems with the Internet but it was temporary. What I did not like was that the toilet had a bad smell of urine since we arrived and the furniture in the living room and bedrooms had dust. I think they should improve. But the house is very nice and cozy, I recommend it!

La casa era muy bonita,  la piscina excelente y limpia mi hija la disfruto mucho,  piden un deposito de 100 dólares que te los devuelven al entregar las llaves y que la muchacha encargada verifique que todo esta bien y no hay daños a la propiedad. La cercanía a la playa de San Jorge esta genial a unos cuantos pasos. tuvimos problemas con el Internet pero fue temporal, lo que no me gustó fue que el inodoro tenia mal olor a orines desde que llegamos  y los muebles de la sala y cuartos tenían polvo eso creo deberían de mejorar. Pero la casa es muy bonita y acogedora, se las recomiendo!

Erick, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for opening the doors of your beautiful place. Upon arriving and touring the house, I noticed that it is not just a place to stay, but a real home. The decor is charming, every detail conveys harmony, and the family photos give it a special warmth that you feel from the moment you arrive. Thank you for your dedication as a host and for providing such a cozy space. It was a really enjoyable experience.

Erick, quiero agradecerte de corazón por abrirme las puertas de tu hermoso alojamiento. Al llegar y recorrer la casa, noté que no es solo un lugar para hospedarse, sino un verdadero hogar. La decoración es encantadora, cada detalle transmite armonía, y las fotos familiares le dan una calidez especial que se siente desde el primer momento. Gracias por tu dedicación como anfitrión y por brindar un espacio tan acogedor. Ha sido una experiencia realmente agradable.

Beautiful home! My family and I had an amazing time! Everything was clean and photos describe the place exactly how it is. Loved the location, near the beach too! Definitely recommend!

Erick was a great host and was super responsive and accommodating! I booked with him the same day as our arrival because we needed somewhere to spend the night with our dogs before taking the ferry to Ometepe in the morning. He answered immediately and was very helpful! We arrived late but check in was smooth and the house super clean. The outside garden area and small pool was magical to cool off after a long day of travel. The beach is right on the doorstep which is a big plus as well! Definitely suitable for groups and families as the house is quite large. Kitchen came with all cooking utensils and filtered water, which is a big plus. One point to note is that there is a deposit to put down when you arrive in case there is any damage. It is returned upon departure. Not a problem of course, but just be mindful to respect the pool area and furniture as the assistant that does the checkin/out on behalf of the host is very meticulous in her checks. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had a great stay at the house. Staying for two nights allowed for a day trip to Ometepe and we just walked to the ferry. There was a $100 cash deposit upon arrival. We were concerned about staying under the 40kw for electricity usage since we had 9 people but didn’t have a problem. The kitchen was extremely well stocked!

Very large, well-equipped house, perfect for cooking. The terrace and pool are very pleasant. The grounds are completely secure, including parking. The house is ideally located for going to the port.

Très grande maison bien équipée, parfaite pour cuisiner. La terrasse et la piscine sont fort agréables. Le terrain est entièrement sécurisé, dont le stationnement. La maison est idéalement située pour aller au port.

La casa muy bonita y muy cómoda,  bastante bien equipada, la pasamos muy bien con mi grupo.

BEAUTIFUL HOUSE! it is much prettier than I imagined and very clean! the pool is well taken care of as well. my family and I had a great time here and will most definitely come back again

Second time staying at Eric’s place and honestly it’s always a pleasure to stay at his place when I’m visiting. He’s very polite and helpful, and very comprehensive overall.

exelente place super nice and good service

exelente lugar super bonita y buena atencion

I really liked the house was very clean there was everything you need in the kitchen. The Master room loved the decor and very cozy, the bathrooms very spacious and clean. Something I mainly liked about the house is  the security it has and the cameras. Everything else I loved it and wouldn't hesitate to come back to her house again. By the way, we leave it very clean. Thank you Erick and Esperanza.

Me gustó mucho la casa estaba muy limpia había todo lo que se necesita en la cocina. El Master room me encantó la decoración y muy acogedor, los baños muy espaciosos y limpios. Algo que principalmente me gustó de la casa es  la seguridad que tiene y las cámaras. De todo lo demás me encantó y no dudaría en volver otra vez a su casa. Por cierto la dejamos muy limpia. Gracias Erick y Esperanza.

In short, everything was perfect, the house was very nice and cozy, very clean, Erick's attention and his staff were very , very good, the perfect location actually as everything was perfect at the beginning. If I had to rate from 1 to 10 being the 1 very bad and the 10 very good: I would give it 100 perfect.!!

En pocas palabras todo fue perfecto, la casa muy bonita y acogedora, muy limpia, la atención de Erick y su personal muy , muy buena, la ubicación perfecta en realidad como dice al principio todo perfecto. Si tuviera que calificar del 1 al 10 siendo el 1 muy mala y el 10 muy buena: yo le daría 100 perfecta.!!

The home was beautifully appointed. You can tell that is a well taken care of family home. The courtyard and pool were very relaxing. The home did have cameras inside the home but we felt very secure and safe. In addition, you should know that you have to pay for an overage on electricity over 400 Kilowatts which goes faster than you think. I also suggest giving any unused foods to the neighbors next door to the home. They really seemed to appreciate it!

Excellent, my family and I had a great time. Good communication, clean and friendly. Thank you.

The place was very comfortable and the service was pleasant. I would do it again!

El lugar muy cómodo y la atención fue agradable. Volvería a rentar!

great place to stay; my family and I had a wonderful time at the house.

A super nice, clean, spacious and well located place

Un lugar super lindo, limpio, espacioso y bien ubicado

This is for sure one of the best airbnb to stay in another country. The places is just the same as showed in the pics, it did exceeded all my expectations and criteria. Overall, my party and me had one of the best times ever during our stay. This is a very complete house and I recommend others to consider this house. Perfect!!!

Dear Lian, thank you for your review, we appreciate the feedback of every guest to improve and always be better! Hope you continue enjoying our country!

Very good location, the house spotless and with all amenities

Muy buena ubicación, la casa impecable y con todas las comodidades

Erik managed to save us in a pinch by opening up reservation for us on same day after another host bailed on us. Pros: Convenient location just minutes from the Ometepe Ferry Nice home overall Cons: Rent includes 40KW electricity usage is laughable. I’ve been in dozens of AirBnbs and never had I heard of such a thing. After the 40KW, be ready to pay $1/KW overage The breeze is great but being so close to the lake means bugs galore. Having the 2nd bathroom located outside of the house was inconvenient to say the least, once inside the bathroom it’s full of bugs and we found at least one roach. We found at least 2 cameras INSIDE the house, pretty sure that goes against AirBnb policy and it has been reported. If the host is so worried about the energy usage, should consider raising the price of the rent and/or invest in renewable energy tech to minimize guest inconveniences

Hola Chris con mucho pesar he recibido su review después de hacer todo lo posible por acomodar su estadía! Aún fuera del límite de tiempo para alojarlo según usted lo solicitó. Si usted viajaba a Ometepe creo que debió hacer un research ya que insectos en exterior es algo que será normal de la zona tanto frente al lago cómo en la Isla. Es una área ecológica tropical entonces insectos en el exterior será algo normal e incontrolable por mi parte. Su evaluación me sorprende por ejemplo evalúo con 4 la ubicación, el cómo llegar, el check in aún cuando fuera del horario tenía a alguien esperando para apoyarle,limpieza y exactitud cuánto todo este se dio con excelencia y sin problema alguno! Baño y servicio higiénico la casa tiene a lo interno el de exterior es normalmente para huéspedes usando piscina o para visitas! Traté de responderle y darle a todo respuesta inmediata (menos de dos minutos) ha sido una verdadera sorpresa para mí su evaluación ya que aún fuera de Airbnb nos comunicamos para darle mayor información e instrucciones Lo de energía es un factor que en Nicaragua el 90% de airbnb tenemos que cobrar extra por el exceso ya que el costó eléctrico acá es algo insostenible y le puedo asegurar que si no tuviera esa restricción el costó de energía en una noche podría ser hasta de $200 dólares es decir más de lo que ha pagado para su grupo de 9, entonces me dirá que es demasiado caro la tarifa pero es la realidad en Nicaragua Gracias por su evaluación pero lamentablemente siento está fuera de la realidad! Ojalá se hubiese tomado el tiempo de hacer más objetiva esta ya que como host nos afecta o beneficia y ayuda a siempre mejorar. Erick M Propietario

We loved our stay at Erick’s! We had great amenities and the pool was so nice! Lots of room! It was such a great stay!

The house is completely Wonderful,beautiful, clean, impeccable. Doña Hope was super helpful and friendly from the day we booked. The pool is amazing and the house has ABSOLUTELY everything 🩷without thinking we would go again

La casa es completamente Maravillosa,hermosa, limpia, impecable. Doña esperanza fue super servicial y amigable desde el día que reservamos. La piscina es increíble y la casa cuenta con ABSOLUTAMENTE todo 🩷Sin pensarla iríamos de nuevo

Excellent, I would definitely come back. They should just be on the lookout for a $100 deposit as a guarantee in case something breaks.

Excelente, definitivamente volvería. solo que deben de estar pendientes que te piden un deposito de 100 dolares como garantía por si se rompe algo.

Hola Jimmy, usted nos ha valorado con 2 estrellas con la comunicacion lo que ha perjudicado nuestro ranking enormemente, Hicimos todo lo posible de mantener una comunicacion excelente con usted antes durante y despues de su estadia, incluso personalmente le contacté, me parece no congruente su comentario ya que en las politicas de Airbnb se expresa esto de su deposito, posiblemente no se tomó el tiempo para leerlo. Gracias Erick Martinez Propietario

We had a great time and the house is impeccable, the pool is very nice too

La pasamos muy bien y la casa es impecable, la piscina muy linda también

Gracias Maria por disfrutar tu estadia con nosotros, esperamos recibirte algun dia pronto Erick Martinez Propietario

very beautiful home, inside everything is new. Good place to stay if you want to visit the island of Ometepe, the maid is really nice but she only speaks Spanish FYI. Just a heads up, at night when it rains there's alot of small insects but they are harmless, make sure to close all doors so they won't go in, it is a tropical country by the waters so be prepared for the amount of insects. Other than that everything went well. Thank you for the stay !

EVERYTHING IS VERY NICE, EASY ACCESS, EXCELLENT LOCATION. EVERYTHING IS VERY GOOD. THE GIRL WHO TAKES CARE OF VERY KIND

TODO MUY LINDO, FACIL ACCESO   EXCELENTE UBICACION TODO MUY BIEN , LA CHICA QUE CUIDA MUY AMABLE

the maid was rude and wanted a cash deposit payment wich I refused, she texted Erick and let us in. Next day she started texting and calling and at 12:00 just showed up and kicked us out a full one hour ahead of the agreed check out time. I got screen shot of everything. my family feeling unsecured because of security cameras recording our privacy, even the one right to the pool! what kind of perv do that? that maid kept treating me to charge $20 per our after check out time. I wonder if they will refund those $20 for one hour early? I will file a formal complain about this, she noticed that we were about to have lunch before to leave, still she kicked us out. this was my first bad experience with AirB&B.

the house was very nice, we had a great time.

la casa muy bonita, la pasamos estupendo.

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. Everything was excellent. Blessings.

Muchas gracias por compartirnos de su casa. Todo excelente. Bendiciones.

The home is beautiful, clean, and exceeded our expectations. Beautifully designed and well maintained, close proximity to stores and restaurants as well as the beautiful view of isla ometepe. Esperanza the lady that maintains the property is so sweet and made sure we had everything we needed to feel at home. Will definitely be coming back and recommend this home to everyone! Thank you Don Erick!
