The location and the verandah were perfect to make our stay so relaxing 😌

We enjoyed the location just as much as the year before! A very peaceful place to stay, with everything you could need

We really enjoyed the time at the place. The host was easy to reach and took care of all our needs.

Wir haben die Zeit in der Unterkunft sehr genossen. Der Gastgeber war gut zu erreichen und hat sich um alle Anliegen gekümmert.

Beautiful location, just a short walk from 2 idyllic, uncrowded beaches. The host was very available and arranged a tour for us that met our wishes.

Endroit magnifique, à quelques pas de 2 plages paradisiaques et peu fréquentées. L'hôte était très disponible et nous a organisé une excursion qui répondait à nos souhaits.

Perfect stay in the middle of nature with our two little children. We had enough privacy but still some friendly and welcoming neighbors. Daniel was very helpful, the food at J’s Kitchen war delicious (!!) and the basically empty, long and white beach a dream. We even saw monkeys in the trees in front of our house as well as several baby turtle releases. The house was in the shade of trees, the hammocks were very chill and it had everything we needed. Recommended :)

We enjoyed our stay. This place had everything we needed in the kitchen, good beds and super location.  The breakfast at Juanitas kitchen was amazing! 
We will be back 😊

Very well located accommodation when you want more tranquility without being too far from San Juan. The restaurant on the beach is a big advantage, we loved it.

Logement très bien situé quand on veut plus de tranquillité sans être trop loin de San Juan. Le resto sur la plage est un gros avantage, on a adoré.

Great location on a wonderful beach. The breakfast at Juanitas was great and with the best view of the sea.

Super Lage an einem wundervollen Strand. Das Frühstück bei Juanitas war toll und mit bestem Ausblick auf das Meer.

The accommodation is very quiet in nature, is well equipped and you are on the beach in a minute. Breakfast in the restaurant is good and the view is very nice! The hosts also helped a lot with the arrival and were always available!:)

Die Unterkunft liegt sehr ruhig in der Natur, ist super ausgestattet und man ist in einer Minute am Strand. Das Frühstück im Restaurant ist gut und der Ausblick sehr schön! Auch die Gastgeber haben super bei der Anreise geholfen und waren immer erreichbar!:)

We loved the beach and nearby surfing! Juanita’s kitchen was delicious and conveniently close! Getting to the property was a challenge but to no fault of the host. Make sure to follow the hosts directions closely! We did not have service most of the drive out there and maps kept trying to take us the wrong way. 4 wheel drive recommended! Although we did make it in and out safely in a sedan, it was a bit scary at times. Host was very responsive and helpful when we had questions! Great place to go for a quiet getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Linda. A very comfortable little house, well-equipped, very clean and very well insulated from biting mosquitoes (good mosquito nets)! A few steps from the sea we could hear the waves. Very quiet and very isolated environment... that's what we were looking for. We were there to surf at Playa Maderas. We recommend renting a 4X4 vehicle for more freedom and possibilities We always communicated with Daniel who was very helpful all along. Thanks for a wonderful stay! We are ready to go back without hesitation! Linda

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour à la Casa linda. Une petite maison très confortable, bien équipée, très propre et très bien isolée des moustiques piqueurs (bon moustiquaires)! À quelques pas de la mer nous pouvions entendre les vagues. Environnement très tranquille et très isolé de tout... c'est ce que nous cherchions. Nous y étions pour surfer à la playa Maderas. Nous recommandons de louer un véhicule 4X4 pour plus de liberté et de possibilité Nous avons toujours communiqué avec Daniel qui a été très aidant sur toute la ligne. Merci pour ce merveilleux séjour! Nous sommes prêts à y retourner sans hésitation! Linda

We had a great time at casa Linda (5 nights)!! The place is incredible! Playa Maderas for the surf, the beach just in front for great fun in the waves, and playa Majagual for magical sunset!!! All that within walking distance! Both restaurant are exquisite and people are very friendly. Daniel was a great host, very friendly and helpful The house is perfect!

Honestly, I’m not sure this can be beat. As a family of four (kids 10 & 12), we won’t often look twice at a property without a pool. Finding something in this location (which we wanted to explore more of outside San Juan Del Sur) in our price range that fit all of us and was walkable was challenging so we took a chance. I can honestly say we didn’t miss the pool! Two beaches within walking distance. In front of the house, the beach had lots of shade and great waves, and the breakfast restaurant (which was fantastic!). You can also walk to Maderas at low tide. The second beach is a one minute walk, just past El Ranchito restaurant and it is IDEAL for swimming. Our kids boogie boarded here and generally just enjoyed the calmer waves and easy swimming. Also perfect for a morning walk! Finally, our host was great. Always responsive in a timely manner and accommodating. We will absolutely stay again!

The accommodation is as described, comfortable and quiet. The terrace, hammocks and outdoor chairs encourage relaxation. The location, a minute's walk from Playa Maderas and Playa Majagual, is ideal for those looking to enjoy the waves for surfing, quiet bays for swimming, while being away from the urban chaos of SJDS. It's easy to eat and drink, at reasonable prices, in nearby restaurants and bars, on the beaches. For visitors wishing to cook for themselves, it is essential to plan to bring everything with you - the nearest food store is about 25 minutes of mainly unpaved roads. We would stay again without hesitation.

Le logement est en tous points conforme à la description, confortable et calme. La terrasse, les hamacs et les chaises d'extérieur incitent à la détente. La situation géographique, à une minute de marche de Playa Maderas et de Playa Majagual, est idéale pour qui cherche à profiter des vagues pour surfer, des baies tranquilles pour se baigner, tout en étant à l'écart du chaos urbain de SJDS. Il est facile de manger et de boire, à des prix raisonnables, dans les restaurants et bars situés à proximité, sur les plages. Pour les visiteurs souhaitant cuisiner eux-mêmes, il est primordial de prévoir de tout apporter avec soi - le commerce alimentaire  le plus près est à environ 25 minutes de pistes, principalement non-asphaltées. Nous y séjournerions à nouveau sans hésiter.

A magical place for a relaxing stay away from the bustle in town. Nearby Playa Majagual is incredible, great for swimming as the little bay is quite protected, and El Ranchito, the restaurant run by Luis and his family, is awesome. Owner is very responsive. One of my favourite Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at.

Thanks Cheryl, would have you back anytime!

We had a wonderful time at Nora and Lino's. We interacted mostly with Herly and he was lovely and helpful. Walk over to the surf beach is super quick and the restaurant nearby Juanita's is great! Would highly recommend.

Great Nica style house. Located a a quite beach a short walk from Maderas surf spot. Juanita's kitchen nearby is excellent. would definitely stay again. thanks

Super beautifully located. 120 steps to get to reach the dream harbor, mostly lonely stand. The house is clean and simple. Groceries should be provided in San Juan del Sur beforehand. There is drinking water on site and a fruit and vegetable mobile comes by every second/third day. Otherwise there are Juanitas Kitchen nearby and in the next bay, at the playa Maderas (10 min walk) there are other beach bars. We stayed there with our kids for 7 nights and had a wonderful time. Thank you!

Super schön gelegen. 120 Schritte bis zum traumhafen, meist einsamen Stand. Das Haus ist sauber und einfach. Lebensmittel sollten vorher in San Juan del Sur besorgt werden. Es gibt Trinkwasser vor Ort und jeden zweiten/dritten Tag kommt ein Obst- und Gemüsemobil vorbei. Ansonsten gibt es Juanitas Kitchen in der Nähe und in der nächsten Bucht, am playa Maderas (10 min zu Fuß) gibt es noch weitere Strandbars. Wir waren mit unseren Kindern 7 Nächte dort und hatten eine wunderbare Zeit. Danke!

The place was a fantastic location for a peaceful relaxing vacation. The surf beach is a 20-25 min walk south down the beach with rocks and tide depending can be difficult for some. The air bnb was equipped with the basics and had a fruit truck every 3-5 days. There are some restaurants but groceries for us were needed for a long stay. Once again the caretaker was 10/10 with all small requests and questions. We used trusted taxis by the air bnb to get us there so a rental car wasn’t needed for us but a car is needed as the road is rough as it’s Remote and quiet area. For surfing I would not recommend Nelson for surfing board rentals personally, he was recommended by the air bnb caretaker. He changed the price on me on arrival and after he got my money for 10 days of renting the mood during interactions was not enjoyable to put it simply. This place was fantastic to get away and totally relax and enjoy a great surf destination

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The beach house was perfectly located for easy access to Playa Maderas and Playa Majagual. Surroundings were serene and quiet (for the most part). Our experience would have been quite different if it weren't for Herly who was gracious, professional, helpful, proactive, and courteous. He is a great asset! The only thing I would recommend is including information about the shuttle to San Juan de Sur available from Playas Maderas. It would be helpful for guests to know there is cheap and reliable transportation into town. Thank you for a memorable time in Nicaragua. We will return.

What a perfect beach house with everything you need to spend some time relaxing at the beach (very secluded and quiet) right in front, at Playa Majagual just a few steps away, or to surf the great waves of Playa Maderas. The house has a well equipped kitchen and we enjoyed cooking our lunches and then spending dinners at the excellent restaurant next door (Juanita’s). Herly is lovely and a very responsive host. Would stay again anytime!

Great place close and a quick walk to juanitas and the beach! Highly recommend!

We definitely loved our experience at Lino & Nora place. The location is incredible, probably one of the most beautiful and untouched beach of the pacific coast. Very secluded and less crowded than playa Maderas but still not far from anything you need. There is a nice local restaurant called Juanita’s Kitchen on the front of the ocean next to the house where you can enjoy a nice meal or drink. Maria’s kitchen who is situated on the other beach is a more authentic and rough place but she’s an amazing cook and her grilled lobster or her fish soup are extremely delicious.And from there you can watch some incredible sunset. The house is very cute and confortable with a nice and breezy front porch. The house was in need of couple repairs and the kitchen and bathroom as well ( probably inhabited during the pandemic) but Lino and Herly went above and beyond to fixe and update everything we needed. We even got a new refrigerator and the outside barbecue is having a make over. Thank you so very much for accommodating us. We really appreciate it. Herly is the person in charge of the house and he is absolutely fantastic. He will take care of the water delivery, laundry, cleaning or anything you need. Overall we had a wonderful time and we definitely recommend it, specially if you are looking for something quiet and want to reconnect with nature.

Lino and Herly were great hosts. They were very accommodating and caring throughout our stay. The location is in close proximity to the beach and is very quiet and secluded from heavy tourism of SJDS. Definitely recommend having a car to get around if you’re seeking a change of environment during your stay.

It is a perfect beach house within a 2 minute walk of my favorite beach in Nicaragua.

Casa Linda was an amazing retreat in the Nicaraguan Pacific Coast. The beach is peaceful and beautiful, a few minutes walk to Playa Maderas (for extra food, surfing lessons, etc) and Playa Majagual (for amazing sunsets). Next to Casa Linda there is a food/drink stand hosted by amazing people. You can get delicious fruit smoothies, pinas coladas, daiquiris, local beers, tostones con queso, and much more! The house has everything we needed, especially the hammocks in the porch. Definitely worth staying in Nora & Lino's place!

We loved our stay at Casa Linda! It was the perfect getaway for a week at the beach and just relaxing. The house is such a quick walk to the beach and the local scene was very friendly. We would definitely recommend this place to friends and will hopefully be back ourselves.

Excellent place and service! Highly recommended if you want a beach for yourself!

Excelente lugar y atención! Muy recomendado si quieren una playa para ustedes!

If you are ever lucky enough to travel down to Playa Majagual, stay here! The house is so close to the beach (maybe 50ft?), the kind folks who care for the property are always around to give advise, help out and share a Toña or two :) The house is everything you need, nothing you don't. We managed just fine during our week in Mid-November with no aircon, the fans in the house worked out perfectly. Some lessons learned from the trip - If you're arriving from Managua, definitely rent a truck or SUV. We rented a tiny Kia Piccanto thinking we'd keep it simple, and it just barely kept up with the beach roads :) Plan to cook a lot at home, but there are phenomenal beach-side restaurants: Alvaro & Juanita's are right down the path from Casa Linda, and Matilda's is right down the beach. These places are amazing to meet other travelers and locals as well as grab a bite and a beer. While there is a Pali Maxi in town (San Juan del Sur) we had the most success shopping in the local Market (catching lunch at Clementina's each time - try the plato Nicaragüense!) We were in our bathing suits 85% of the time (day & night) so pack light and save that space in your suitcase to bring back Nicaraguan coffee and cigars :) Thanks again Nora and Lino for this amazing opportunity!

The house is located at Maderas beach, which is a really beautiful beach. Getting there was however quite a challenge, two cars were stuck in the mud and had to be towed out on our way to the house.  So we were happy to make it! But this is probably because it is rainy season and would be better in another season, just something to think about, you really need a four wheel drive and a high car, the cars we saw stuck in the mud were really heavily damaged.... We could realy see the potential of the house, but unfortunately the house made a bit of a sad impression. This too was probably because of the rainy season, when I suppose it is difficult to keep houses in good shape.... With a little love and in a different season, the house would probably make a much better impression. And without the ants and with a functioning water system, it would probably be even better!

This place is a beach lovers paradise. There are two beaches extremely close by and even though it was Semana Santa, they were mostly to ourselves!

The house is terribly well located and very well-equipped, it feels right at home. We're far from everything and it feels good. The beach is superb and the welcome is warm. We highly recommend this place to unplug.

La maison est terriblement bien située et très bien équipée, on s'y sent tout de suite chez soi. On est loin de tout et ca fait du bien. La plage est superbe et l'accueil est chaleureux. Nous recommandons vivement cet endroit pour déconnecter.

The house is very comfortable, meters from a quiet and beautiful beach. Highly recommended! 

La casa es muy cómoda, a metros de una playa tranquila y hermosa. Muy recomendable!! 

The location was fantastic for a relaxed getaway. The house was comfortable with all necessary amenities. Lino was friendly and helpful; check in was very easy. Beds were comfortable, cooking was easy with a well furnished kitchen and outdoor meals were so pleasant. The hammocks outside are a big plus! We truly unplugged for the weekend and wished we could have stayed longer.

Great location! Super helpful staff. Due to the remote location, you need to be tolerant of things like power/water outages and no WiFi, but that is just Nicaragua. Be aware that it could happen. There are many excellent food options within walking/ driving distance. Proximity to beautiful beaches cannot be beat for the price. Highly recommend.

Beautiful and quiet little casa near a dream beach. Really nice !

Belle petite casa au calme à deux pas d’une plage de rêve. Vraiment sympa !
