5BR villa in San Juan del Sur

Villa Mariposa - Villas for Rent in San Juan del Sur, Rivas Department, Nicaragua

The house is very nice and comfortable, ideal for a group of family or friends. The pool area with a spectacular view and the barbecue area are highlights. Also, having air conditioners and a bathroom in each room made the stay much more comfortable for everyone. If you are traveling with elderly people, please note that there are quite a few stairs. Villa Mariposa is an excellent option for vacations in the Tola area. Highly recommended.

La casa es muy linda y cómoda, ideal para un grupo de familia o amigos. A destacar la zona de piscina que tiene una vista espectacular y área de barbacoa. Además, tener aires acondicionados y baño en cada habitación hizo la estancia mucho más cómoda para todos. Si van con personas mayores tener en cuenta que hay bastantes escaleras. Villa Mariposa es una excelente opción para vacaciones en la zona de tola, muy recomendada.

Loved the place.  Knesia was great.  The place to me was better than the pictures.  I would stay there again.

Villa Mariposa is a gem. This is our second time staying and you will not ve disappointed.  Fatima and Santos are also amazing.  They cooked and kept up with the house and helped us with places to go. Love the Villa Mariposa.

The house is beautiful and private! Ksenia and Fatima are great hosts!

Excellent!!! No complaints at all. Highly recommended.

Excelente!!! Sin queja alguna, mas que recomendado.

Great place walkable the beach. Will come again.

Awesome place highly recommend. If you want privacy and relaxation,this is the place. My family and I had great time. Hidden gem.

Ksenia was amazing with accommodating my very large group for our wedding. we had got a few of her properties and were able to have an amazing week and amazing, beautiful ceremony. Thank you so much Ksenia!

Excellent location, beautiful view, friendly staff

Excelente ubicación, hermosa vista, personal amable

A family trip that we really enjoyed! A nice stay. The staff was very friendly and proactive.

Un viaje familiar, que disfrutamos mucho! Una linda estancia. El personal muy amable, y proactivo.

Super nice place to spend time as a family, and the beaches are close by.

super agradable para pasar en familia y la playas esta cerca

Our stay at villa Mariposa was absolutely incredible, honestly, it was even better than the pictures and description on Airbnb. The home exceeded our expectations in every way. Remanso Beach truly feels like a private beach. It’s peaceful, uncrowded, and perfect for relaxing. One of the best parts is that there are a few great restaurants nearby, so you really don’t need to go into San Juan del Sur unless you want to. Everything you need is right there. The house itself has a breathtaking view. Spending time in the pool, just chilling and admiring the ocean, was priceless. The sunsets alone are worth the trip. Fatima is an amazing cook, every meal was delicious and made our stay feel even more special. Santos was always ready to help with anything we needed, making sure everything ran smoothly and that we were comfortable at all times. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience. We would absolutely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and beautifu

Overall this home was great and beautiful for our large group! It had beautiful views of the ocean, modern space, with a big living area and kitchen along with big balcony to relax and spend time on. All the bedrooms had attached bathrooms, which was a huge bonus!

Had a wonderful time with three young children! Perfect walking distance to the beach and they provided a crib and hi-chair for our littlest one. Perfect relaxing vacation at a wonderful place.

The house was a spectacle, the view beautiful and everything impeccable. We would definitely stay again.

La casa fue un espectáculo, la vista hermosa y todo impecable. Definitivamente volveríamos a hospedarnos.

Beautiful sights, though it is hard to access the beach, due to the steepness of the hill downwards. Be careful when transporting elderly.

Ksenia was great! Very communicative and responsive. The House is absolutely beautiful! Fatima and family are very sweet and anything we needed or asked they would accommodate. Ill definitely be back!

This house is awesome! It is beautiful, spacious and in a great beach! Playa Remanso is a beautiful, calm beach, perfect for beginner surfers or just to relax and swim! Ksenia was a great host, always responsive & kind. My family and I spent Christmas there and the house had everything we needed in the kitchen, living room and bedrooms! The pool is also amazing and the views and sunsets off the charts! I will definitely stay here again! So worth it!

We had a wonderful time in this gorgeous home. Happy to return with our family. The beach was a short walk away and the views were spectacular.

The house is beautiful! Area is very private, at a walkable distance to the beach. There are a few restaurants at the beach and they offer surfing lessons which is great. We arrived at night which made it a little harder to find the property, I would recommend getting there before the sun goes down. Upon arrival, we had someone waiting for us outside, they showed us where to park and walked us through the house. For an additional fee, Fatima did grocery shopping for us and cooked all of our meals during our stay at the house. It was so convenient and the food she prepared for us was the best food we had during our entire stay in Nicaragua! Our entire family had a great time here, we wished we had stayed there for longer, next time we will plan to stay more days there.

Excellent place! Clean, good area, close to the beach!

Excelente lugar! Limpio, buena zona, está cerca de la playa!

The best house in San Juan del Sur. We've been twice and the feeling is always the same. Everything is pleasant

La mejor casa en San Juan del sur dos veces hemos estado y la sensación siempre la mismas agradable todo

The house is fantastic, the view spectacular, the beach is just a few steps away, the place is quite quiet and safe

La casa es fantástica, la vista espectacular, la playa está a tan solo unos pasos, el lugar es bastante tranquilo y seguro

Overall fantastic stay! We rented two of kesnia homes side by side for a larger family reunion. Nicaragua / San Juan de sur/ and playa remanso beat all our expectations… ie this is an amazing holiday. Very authentic beach vibe super nice people and plenty of activities. Playa remanso is a perfect local beach and amazing g beginner surfing opportunity for various ages. Host- kesnia was fantastic, always helpful and available. We also recruited Fatima her caretaker to cook for us most days… anyone staying I highly recommend this service… made our lives much easier as she would shop cook and clean and at very reasonable rates… not to mention that Fatima and rest of carekeepers are amazing super friendly people. One of my favourite trips which obviously was influenced by the home(s) we stayed in.

Ksenias place was great! House was very clean and just as beautiful as the pictures. Walking distance to the beach which was perfect. Had a great time. Highly recommend it.

My family and I stayed here for about 6 days. We unfortunately arrived at night due to unforeseen traffic and heavy rain (driving from Managua). The house was very difficult to locate as this area at night is pitch black. I definitely recommend arriving while the sun is still out to avoid this issue. The following morning, once we were settled in, the view was AMAZING. But most importantly the attention we received from Fatima was more than what a 5 star hotel could provide. She cooked delicious food for us, helped us navigate the area, and was simply such a wonderful host. We grew to really care for her and honestly miss her! Fatima’s attention and enthusiasm made up for the rough first night. She is truly an asset to this property! THANK YOU FATIMA!

Our family had the best time at Ksenia’s Villa Mariposa. There was 11 of us. My brother came with five of his children from ages 9 to 19. There was something for everyone to do. The kids took surf lessons. The boys went fishing and caught some beautiful Dorados “ mahi-mahi “ We had Fatima and her niece cook us a couple of amazing meals with the fish that the boys caught. She made fish tacos, ceviche, and grilled fish with all the fixings. One of the best meals I had while in Nicaragua. The house was beautiful and very clean. It had  beautiful views of the sea. The  walk  to the beach was just a couple of minutes. There was a nice little shower outside the house so you didn’t track sand in. We all enjoyed the pool and having coffee on the balcony with the fresh sea air. The kids loved having movie nights in the spacious living room. The house had everything we needed and more.  The only thing I wished was that we stayed longer! Thank you Ksenia for sharing your beautiful home!

The only issues were beach had so many rocks that we had to go to HERMOSA beach 10min away.  Also the people that clean property turn off the wifi on me while I was checking out right at 11am while on a conference call that was ending.  They had to at least let you know if they could turn it off.  Bad manners there.  Jerry was helpful

The property is lovely! We loved how it allowed plenty of space for our family of 10. It was clean and well appointed. And the on-site caretakers were very friendly and professional. Communication was also easy and prompt. The location by the beach made it easy to relax and have fun whether it was at our pool, on the balcony or at the beach. Would definitely book this stay again.

The house, location, beach, and the staff were wonderful but we lost power for a whole 24 hours with 13 guests. The solar panels only two worked out of 7 and the back up generator was not working. The power did come back but having no power for 24 hours was very frustrating and inconvenient.  I would love to come back but hope these issues are addressed prior. The staff were wonderful & extremely supportive, the house was clean and the staff helped us cook and clean.

Amazing stay! Would 100% recommend for a more lux stay!

Ksenia’s house was gorgeous both inside and outside. The cuidadores were so incredibly kind and helpful and quick to take care of minor repairs. I definitely look forward to staying at one of Ksenia’s other homes.

Everything was very good, very nice house, all the staff were very friendly, Fatima was super attentive to everything and kind, the pool was impeccable, the atmosphere was really nice, excellent, highly recommended.

Muy bueno todo muy bonita casa, todo el personal muy amable Fátima súper atenta a todo y amable, la piscina impecable, el ambiente súper agradable, la verdad excelente, súper recomendado.

the place was great,  and it meet my expectations. the house is absolutely beautiful big and also the rooms. the pool was beautiful felt warm the water and the night view in the pool is beautiful, the changing light we thought was cool. the beach and restaurants were walkable.  I loved it and will definitely rent again...

I loved the place, amazing views. Every space and detail was wonderful as well as the views. My family and I enjoyed our stay, definitely would recommend this place ☺️

Thank you so much, Luz! We’re glad you and your family enjoyed the stay and the views. We truly appreciate your kind words, hope to host you again soon.

the family loved it ❤️. super friendly caretaker and Miss Fatima were amazing.  had a blast looking forward to foing it again.

This is the second year we stayed at this place. We love it!

Thank you so much, Laura! We’re absolutely thrilled to have welcomed you back for a second year, and it means the world to us that you love the place. Guests like you are truly a joy to host, and we hope to see you again next year (or even sooner)!

This is a lovely, spacious home with a refreshing pool, close to a small beach. Unfortunately, several issues put a damper on our retreat. The kitchen lacked basic supplies to wash dishes, and the broken dishwasher had standing water and mold. One lower-level bedroom had a mildew smell. We lost power for 8 hours on day two, and their backup generator was broken. It was extremely hot with no AC or fans, AND we had no running water, which made it hard to cook. Some food spoiled. Caretaker kindly brought one gallon of drinking water, but with 7 of us, it was gone quickly. Power went out again on day three. No cell service meant we couldn’t reach our driver who was lost because the place is very hard to find. The owner was very kind in her communication but sadly offered no resolutions  (except drinking water), however she said she'd address the issues after we left for the next guests.  Nicaragua IS notorious for power and water outages, but the back up systems should have been in place!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry that your experience was not what you had hoped for, and I appreciate your patience during the challenges that arose. To clarify, the generator was unfortunately out of service during your short stay due to an unexpected failure caused by prolonged outages, but I want to assure you that it was repaired and fully operational on the day of your departure. Additionally, the dishwasher, which was in poor condition, was replaced immediately after you checked out. We also delivered a 12-gallon water dispenser to ensure your group had sufficient drinking water, and I offered reimbursement for any spoiled food due to the outage. I completely understand how frustrating these issues were, and I’m sorry they affected the comfort of your stay. I also want to note that accommodations were made to reschedule your booking when you initially expressed hesitation about coming due to the rainy weather. While we did our best to make adjustments to meet your needs, I regret that we were still unable to provide the experience you were hoping for. Your feedback is truly valuable, and I am continuing to work on improving every aspect of the guest experience.

Joven Santos supported us very kindly to be able to locate the site as we spent about 3 hours looking for the site, which nis had wasted time to enjoy the time. The site is very nice and with a beautiful view, but to access the beach is difficult and a little dirty . The access to the beach is not very well taken care of being such a beautiful beach.

El Joven Santos nos apoyó muy amablemente para poder ubicar el sitio pues pasamos como 3 horas buscando el sitio lo que nis hizo perder tiempo para disfrutar el tiempo. El sitio es muy lindo y con una vista preciosa, pero para accesar a la playa esta dificil y un poco sucio . El acceso a playa no esta muy cuidado siendo una playa tan bonita.

Hi Irene, I'm so glad you enjoyed the views and the house. I'm sorry to hear you got lost on your way, new coastal highway project near the Remanso beach entry altered the map route. I have included step by step directions for our future guests so it doesnt happen again. Thanks for being great guests, we hope to welcome you back some day.

We loved our stay in this villa. A real jewel in the area and the beach much more beautiful and less busy than that of San Juan Del Sur. The house was ultra clean and well-equipped. Also, the beds were very comfortable. Recommended! Thanks to Ksenia and her team.

Nous avons adorer notre séjour dans cette villa. Un vrai bijoux du coin et la plage beaucoup plus belle et moins achalandé que celle de San Juan Del Sur. La maison était ultra propre et bien équipée. De plus, les lits étaient très confortable. Je recommande! Merci à Ksenia et son équipe.

It's been a true pleasure to host you Adam! Please come and stay with us again.

Excellent attention ! Fatima is very friendly and helpful , additionally delicious kitchen The house has an incredible ocean and sunset view, the place is extremely quiet and safe certainly we will come back and recommend the place to anyone

Excelente atencion ! Fatima es muy amable y servicial , adicionalmente cocina delicioso La casa tiene una increíble vista al mar y al atardecer, el lugar es sumamente tranquilo y seguro sin duda volveremos y recomendamos el lugar a cualquiera

Thank you so much for your wonderful review Joseph, it means the world to us.

Great location. Great Host. Great caretakers. Great Beach.

Beautiful house and surroundings. This was a perfect house for a family vacation. Ksenia is a great host, and quick turnaround on responses. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful stay. One item to flag in case there are ederly people looking to stay in the house, the rooms are upstairs or downstairs. My grandma slept in the sofa bed in the living room but still had to go upstairs to use one of the showers in the other rooms. Just a heads up to note for any family with handicap family members. Otherwise, all was excellent. Fatima and her husband Santos are the housekeepers and are also amazing and very kind. Fatima cooked for us a few meals to our liking. This added on to a great experience and stay as it made it convenient. Thank you again Ksenia for a great experience.

The house was spacious and secluded everything we wanted and expected from this vacation. Location and views are gorgeous. The available service was great. 10/10 would definitely come back some day.

An excellent place to rest, a quiet place and close to the beach!

Excelente lugar para descansar, un lugar tranquilo y cerca de la playa!

The owner and host of this home were amazing! They were very helpful and even let us check in early. The host helped us so much with small little problems and made our stay memorable. The home was beautiful, clean, modern! It’s a short walk to the beach and surfing school. We would definitely rebook this home.

Casa Villa Mariposa, is an excellent experience. The photos that appear in the description of the ad, do not do justice to each of the details and how accurate it is. It is located just 100 mt from Playa El Remanso, for me one of the best beaches in the Pacific in Nicaragua; warm waters and a very private beach that made the stay unforgettable. You are 15 min from San Juan del Sur, so if you want to get around town it's very fast. Definitely a stay with all the comforts for your enjoyment, vehicle access is really not complicated, to access in medium-sized sedans, even. Highly recommended and a place to visit again safely! Ksenia, is an excellent host, who will clear all your doubts and always attentive to any detail.

Casa Villa Mariposa, es una experiencia excelente.Las fotos que aparecen en la descripción del anuncio, no hacen justicia a cada uno de los detalles y lo precisiosa que es la misma. Se encuentra a escasos 100 mt de Playa El Remanso, para mi una de las mejores playas en el pacifico de Nicaragua; aguas cálidas y una playa muy privada que hicieron la estadía inolvidable. Te encuentras a 15 min desde San Juan del Sur, por lo que si quieres desplazarte a la ciudad es muy rápido. Definitivamente una estancia con todas las comodidades para tu disfrute, el acceso en vehículo realmente no es complicado, para acceder en sedanes medianos, inclusive. Super recomendado y un lugar para visitar nuevamente con seguridad ña! Ksenia, es una excelente anfitriona, que despejará todas tus dudas y siempre atenta a cualquier detalle.

Beautiful house , nice host , definitely comming back

We loved the days we spent at Ksenia’s place. The sound of the waves , the coziness of the space and the sunsets we could behold from the terrace of the house were all worthy. Had we been warned that the phone signal gets lost completely at some point on the road going to the house , we would have taken actions or seeked for assistance in order to not get lost while looking for the main gate of the Condo and getting to the house. Other thing is that no one at the gate seemed to know where the house was located so no one could guide us to there, two families of our group got lost while trying to get to the house as google maps and Waze were useless with their directions ( these two apps sent us all to the beachfront nearby town). Aside from that, once we got to the house, all turned out into a much better and relaxing experience. :)

We loved the house. Very clean. Mrs. Fatima is very kind. We hope to return next year.

My favorite home from my trip to Nicaragua so far , the only thing I regret is not staying there longer. House has everything more than what I was expecting. Had a beautiful time with my family there. Can’t express how amazing this house is….the views are incredible. Will definitely stay here again.

This was our second stay with Ksenia after a great experience at another of her properties. She’s a fantastic host—kind, organized, and clear in her instructions. Fátima welcomed us and was very attentive throughout our stay. The house is spacious, clean, well-equipped, and has a large, beautiful pool—perfect for families. However, two bedrooms are on a lower level near the pool, outside the main house, with a noticeable septic tank odor. Accessing these rooms requires going outside and down stairs, which was tricky when it rained. The other three rooms are inside the house, up a flight of stairs—something to consider if you have someone with limited mobility, which is why we couldn’t bring our grandmother. Despite this, I highly recommend Ksenia as a host. El Remanso is a wonderful destination with a beautiful, calm bay. We love it and plan to return every year.

Ksenia’s home is beautiful. Clean, spacious, and easy to find a comfortable place to relax on the outdoor terrace or pool deck. Fatima was sweet and available for any of our needs. A quick minute walk to the beautiful and quiet Remanso beach. Restaurants there as well. We would rent again. Thank you for your hospitality.

The house is quite acceptable . The access to the house is a road in a high vehicle only state.

La casa es bastante aceptable . El acceso para la casa es de un camino en un estado solo para vehículo alto.

Great place!!  Magnificent house, pool, and view!!

The view is breathtaking! With a big group of 13 this house definitely met all our needs and more. I’ll start with expressing how amazingly beautiful this home is. The sunset views from this home make great portraits and worth every penny. All rooms including bathrooms were spacious and clean. The high ceiling and windows in the open concept of kitchen and living room provided lots of light throughout the day. Evenings were quiet, it’s a perfect time to hear the ocean waves and relax. The pool was warm and agreat time if you’re not at the beach. We had the pleasure of Fatima cooking for us (at a reasonable fee). Her food was DELICIOSO! And anything we needed she was lovely and attentive. Road to the house:Roads are currently being worked on to Playa Remanzo. That said, use GOGGLE maps, not Waze, when you receive the address. The beach and waves were amazing! We hope the locals make a walkable path- It’s rocky. We hope to return! Thanks!

My experience in this place was absolutely wonderful. The views were incredible. The house was spotless and The service was the best. The Caretaker was so sweet and caring! The food she cooked was THE BEST! So delicious! My whole stay was just so peaceful and relaxing. I will definitely be coming back!

Beautiful place to stay. Amazing views. Very clean.

Ksenia's house is amazing. The beach is just steps away, so there are many things to do while maintaining the privacy of not being right in the middle of everything. The house is as beautiful as in the photos and is super equipped. The locals are super friendly people and help solve almost anything you need. Surf lessons with Gerardo, highly recommended!

Beautiful house with plenty of room for a family! Love the private location and the access to the beach. We hope to come back and stay here again one day!

It is a very private place excellent to have vacations with friends or family. The view of sunset from the house is awesome, and the fact that the beach is not to crowded and pretty close is amazing.

Fatima was AWESOME!!!!!  We got lost getting to the house and she came to  pick us up. Fatima is the sweetest. The house is beautiful and clean. Everything you see in the pictures is what you get. If I come back to Nicaragua, I'll definitely come back to this house.  FYI if you stay here make sure you a 4x4, There building a road, and there is some uphills. Overall, I had an amazing stay and the beach is a five minute walk with restaurants.

Fatima and her husband were amazing!  The shrimp and Lobster was some of the best we have had. I appreciate it the good views and cleanliness of the house. Again, they were amazing would book again!

I just have to say, I will visit this beautiful house again, 100% recommended, the photos exactly the same as the description, the beach is close to the house, quiet area, the very friendly and attentive managers and the host always attentive to my requests, my family and I really enjoyed the stay and we were very satisfied with everything.

Solo me queda decir, volveré a visitar esta hermosa casa, 100% recomendado, las fotos exactamente igual a la descripción, la playa esta cerca de la casa, zona tranquila, los encargados muy amables y atentos y la host siempre al pendiente de mis peticiones, mi familia y yo disfrutamos mucho la estadía y quedamos muy satisfechos con todo.

The place is "awesome".  We had a wonderful time.  Expect to be back soon!

A real little paradise on earth. We felt like we had the beach to ourselves. Surfing was wow for first-timers. Housekeepers were available and very helpful. We didn't want for anything and everything was spotless. The house is amazing. Thank you!

Un vrai petit paradis sur terre. Nous avions l’impression d’avoir la plage pour nous seul. Le surf était wow pour les débutants. Les responsables de la maison était disponible et très serviables. Nous n’avons manqué de rien et tout était impeccable. La maison est incroyable. Merci !

We loved our stay at Villa Mariposa, we were 2 families of 4 and it was perfect. Fatima is extraordinary, very helpful and friendly. We had a beautiful view of the sea, the beach nearby was superb. I highly recommend this place

Nous avons adoré notre séjour à la villa Mariposa, nous étions 2 familles de 4 et c’était parfait. Fatima est extraordinaire, très serviable et avenante. Nous avions une très belle vue sur la mer, la plage à proximité était superbe. Je recommande fortement cet endroit

What are you waiting for? Book Villa Mariposa! 🦋 Ksenia was super helpful before I even decided to book her beautiful home. She actually connected me with a great transport company that helped me with multiple legs of my journey! Big props for a responsive, dependable transport company. Now, the home in and of itself is five stars BUT Fatima and Santos take the experience even higher! They made staying at the Villa a truly unforgettable experience and it would not have been the same without them! You will want to enjoy Fatima’s delish meals and have Santos help you with adventures. And he was in top of any questions we had about the house. Loved them both! Grateful we had the opportunity to stay at Villa Mariposa and will be back! ❤️ BOOK IT NOW!

The house was absolutely beautiful!! Fatima was amazing. She was so attentive and welcoming.  Truly a great experience.

Ksenia was a gracious host and we were well taken care of by Fatima and Santos.  Would definitely book this spot again.  We booked without really understanding how much better this beach and the couple small bars here are then San Juan del Sur.  Even though it's a much sleepier place in the evening it's much safer than San Juan del Sur.

The house and accommodations are lovely. Highly recommend you get Fatima to cook for you. The location is really nice if you love the beach because one of the most beautiful beaches is just down the hill. There are restaurants on the beach if you need a little snack or a drink (cash only). The government is improving the road out to the beach so in a year or so the drive out there should be smoother. The bathrooms in the house were gorgeous. The kitchen had all the modern amenities. The pool was by far my families favorite part. We spent hours out there everyday. All in all a great stay.

Mariposa was absolutely perfect for our (2 family) vacation! The kitchen is very well stocked! The pool and sunsets are amazing, the beds are comfortable, Fatima and Santos (the caretakers) are super helpful, and Fatima is an excellent cook! The location is ideal for all of us - beginner surfers! Ksenia is super fast to respond and goes above and beyond to answer question! I can’t say enough good things about this place, and location! I loved the laid back atmosphere of Romanso Beach- it was the perfect vacation!

Incredible view, beach access is amazing, and Fatima the caretaker made us short ribs one night best food Ive ever had, you wont regret staying here.

Very lovely place in a quiet area. Ksenia is a great host! Walking distance to the beach. The villa have a lot of Space if you’re a large group and every room has his private washroom. I would definitely recommend this place!

We had an absolutely incredible experience during our stay at Villa Mariposa! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with excellent service and warm hospitality. The house itself is simply stunning, with charming details and a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Fátima and Santos went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. They were incredibly helpful and accommodating, always ready to assist us and provide useful tips about the area. We can't thank them enough for their outstanding hospitality. Fátima treated us to some delicious homemade meals, showcasing her exceptional culinary skills. We highly recommend trying her dishes – they were a highlight of our trip! We were so enchanted by the house and the warm hospitality that we found it hard to leave when our stay came to an end. We are already planning our next visit and can't wait to return to this wonderful place!

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Mariposa . The home is beautiful as described. Fatima and her family are awesome and very attentive.

The place is fantastic, very beautiful and clean! Ksenia the owner was very responsive and very friendly! Fatima was the star of our stayed, she prepared us amazing meals and was very helpful throughout our stay! definitely recommending this place for big families and friends! had an amazing time there!

House is just as pictured, the pool was amazing and the temperature was perfect. We loved being able to have breakfast with the view of the ocean. Fatima the housekeeper was a great help with getting us transportation and doing laundry. We would recommend a 4×4 vehicle due to rough dirt terrain and steep roads but totally worth it once you get there. Highly recommend and look forward to visiting again in the future. Host was highly responsive and addressed any and all of our concerns.

Mariposa was so beautiful. It is a great place to stay and will stay again in the future. on top of all of this, there was a staff on site who was amazing. Fatima and Santos were the staff members, and they went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing trip. I can't say enough about those two. Ksenia, you have a great home and great staff! thank you for letting us experience it.

We had a wonderful getaway weekend with two families and loved staying at casa Mariposa. Ksenia was very response, flexible and a great host with a great staff!! The caretaker Dani was AMAZING!! very friendly, service oriented and responsive. The beach was a close walk and better swimming and surfing beach than San Juan which is only a short 10 minute drive. Almost felt like a private beach with great little bars within walking distance. Highly recommend having a 4x4 vehicle if possible as a portion of the road to the house is unpaved and the house sits on top of steep street. Other than that, wonderful house, accommodations, host, staff and location! Highly recommend.

We visited SJDS and stayed and Villa Mariposa with our best friends. From the minute we arrived we all couldn’t believe how beautiful the surroundings were - does look exactly like the pictures and in fact they don’t do it enough justice. We had the pleasure of having Sra. Fatima and Sr. Santos welcome us and get us all familiar with the home and even what parts of the beach to watch out for during high tide - they made us feel right at home from the start. The place speaks for itself and can’t say enough how beautiful it is and all of the people; everyone is super friendly and happy to help. We cannot recommend Sra. Fatima and Sr. Santos enough - would highly recommend you leave all the cooking to her, she is a fantastic cook and still missing all the wonderful meals she made for us; the gallo pinto is a must and staple; from grilled lobster to grilled steaks and even tacos - let Fatima show you some amazing meals. Can’t wait to visit again. Loved it.

My family and I stayed at this house for 10 days and we loved everything about it! the pictures match the description,  so we knew exactly what to expect. Ksenia responded within minutes, you can't beat that. The caretakers, Fatima and husband were absolutely amazing. they made us feel right at home and had great recommendations about local spots. For only 20 usd for family style meals, Fatima cooked all of our meals, money well spent. We'll definitely come back in the future, we especially loved the short walk to the beach, the best part of our vacation.

A must mention is on-site staff. Fatima was an excellent cook. She would go buy the groceries and run through options for breakfast, lunch and dinner…. And she’s cooks phenomenally! With that said…. Having Fatima cook is almost your best option. The house sits on a hill, for which you must travel through rough terrain. If you were to catch rain, you may not make it up to the house, particularly if you’re not in a 4x4 vehicle…. Just something to think about. Other than that, the house is walking distance to a beach that sits in a remote cove. There are surf board rentals and a couple of bars…. So it’s awesome to walk down and have a couple of drinks at one of the rugged beach bars….. which by the way, have incredible ceviche. The house itself is amazing, both inside and out…. Infinity pool is very nice, and just made for relaxation! This is a 5-star, and I highly recommend it.

I almost don't want to write this review because I want to keep this beautiful home a secret for myself. The home is absolutely beautiful and the views are breathtaking beautiful. I was up at 4:30am sitting on the terrace just listening to the waves crash and the birds sing. The home's infinity pool is perfectly located with views of the most beautiful surfer beach and cliff. The beach is less than 500 feet away and there the cutest little bars right on the sand. But what made this gorgeous home worth it for me was the staff. I dont have enough words to describe how friendly, accommodating, attentive and great Fatima, Santo and Magaly were. Both Fatima and Magaly cooked for us and they took in every detail. They were so loving with my elderly parents and my young children. Santo was very helpful and attentive. He even went out of his way to purchase some fish for me at the port. This vacation experience was one my family won't forget! I'll definitely be returning!

This Airbnb is amazing in every possible way. The views are absolutely epic. The home is well designed, timeless style, perfectly laid out for a family vacation and the friendly caretakers (who will cook and shop for a small fee) are just the icing on the cake. I can’t recommend this home enough. Must stay!

Great place! It’s got everything you need. Very responsive and helpful host. Definitely coming back.

I have nothing but good things to say. Great place made all the better by Santos and Fatima who are always available but also always discreet.  I diasgree with other reviews that say you need a 4x4 to get there but work may have been done on the road recently. We were able to easily get there in a pick up and a small mini van.  Host is very reactive and dealt with our numerous guest number changes quickly and promptly.  Highly recommend trying Fatimas chicken soup at least once! We are already planning our next trip back next year.  Fabulous!!

Ksenia’s place is beyond expectations. Spacious, comfortable, beautiful. Everything was top notch: the beds, furniture, towels, appliances. This house has a dishwasher, witch is not common to find in Nicaragua (even in big properties). The pool furniture is beautiful and extremely comfortable. At night the whole house and the pool are well-lit but keep the warm atmosphere of the house. This house is obviously designed by an experienced host, all the details are considered to give the guests a prime experience. Will come back for sure.

A great place with ✨ an amazing view Very attentive and friendly house staff We loved Fatima's spoon

Excelente lugar ✨ vista increíble Personal de la casa muy atento y amigable Nos encantó la cuchara de Fatima

This house was amazing! So close to the beach. I do recommend an SUV if you happen to rent a car. Fatima is a great cook if you decide to have her make you dinners. She is warm and helpful. We like definitely stay here again. It was such a lovely vacation.

Honestly - absolutely spectacular.   Everything from the greeting, to the house, to the walkability, to the communication - absolute perfection.  If you come to San Juan del Sur and don’t stay here, you are missing out on an experience!

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Mariposa! Ksenia was a great host and was very accommodating. A big plus was having Fatima cook delicious Nicaragua food for us right there in the house. We would definitely book with this host again!
