Our stay was great. It's centrally located and the facilities are comfortable. The pool is super cool to relax. A place where we will surely return on another getaway 🤗

Booked a month but had to cancel and request Airbnb to force a full refund on day 2. The view and pool are amazing, no doubt about that. Location is walkable to town but goes through a slightly dark barrio, would be wary at night but overall I don't see it as a problem since I'm pretty comfortable down in Nicaragua. The real issues were about daily use and comfort inside the unit itself. Much of the kitchenware was broken or non-existent (only 2 water glasses for a 2-bedroom apartment, only one completely busted knife, warped scraped Teflon pots without lids, etc). Fridge was severely leaking water. Broken items: one showerhead, multiple cabinets, bug screens, toaster. The old worn futon was all stained and very uncomfortable, they just put a bedsheet over it to cover the stains. Overall the place needs TLC, furniture, and kitchenware to match the price we were originally going to pay. I mentioned to the owner that the inside isn't aligned with location's quality or rental price.

It is the perfect place to be close to the San Juan del Sur Bay, but at the same time without so much noise.

A beautiful view, I loved the pool… we really enjoyed my family and pet.

I would definitely come back and I recommend it.

really recommend this house - although up a steep hill it means it’s more secluded and peaceful as the town can be lively! 2 bathrooms and the pool was such a bonus. very responsive and helpful host if we had any questions.

Nice place far enough from town that's its quiet but yet close enough for short ride, thanks for hosting !

We loved the view from the balcony while having our morning coffee. The property manager, Elmer, was very attentive to our requests as well as Vanessa.

Chris’ place is as described. He’s very responsive and understanding. The place is clean, he has a list of restaurants to visit while you stay at his place. The pool is always clean and perfect to swim in. There is friendly security and cleaning staff. I’ve stayed at his place twice already and would go back if I go to San Juan again

The place is great, very comfortable and in a quiet and safe location, yet quite close to everything! Beautiful pool area, pool is not large but was perfect for us. The long steep driveway was a challenge for our small car. I would stay here again.

The house was clean, but it does not have hot water, nor did it have any hand towels shampoo or soap. It is also on top of an extremely steep hill. So if you don’t have a car, walking up the hill is going to be brutal in the heat.

Loved the location of Chris’s rental. Staff was very responsive with any issues we had and were tended to promptly.

The road / hill from San Juan de SUR to the rental was Steep. Our two wheel drive vehicle handled the steepness but we were warned by locals in a storm to not attempt without a four wheel drive vehicle.

Overall a very enjoyable stay and yes we would stay at Chris’s rental again.

We loved staying here. It was close to the beach and nightlife. The condo and pool were clean. And I cannot rave enough about the staff on site. They were super friendly and available for any question we had regarding the condo and travel accommodations. I'd highly recommend this place. The only downside to this place is the the road to the condo is very steep.

The host is very kind, the place is very nice, the house is fully equipped, and has a wonderful view.

The pool is a little small and shared. To get there there there is a very steep climb.

Excellent spot, with a relaxing pool and some nice views. place was comfertable. The road up to the condo is very steep and it is challenging to turn in to the parking spots, when arriving. Just be aware of this if you're driving. Short walk down to the town was good and we felt safe. Thank you.

Chris's house is very nice, and has a great location at a high altitude. The pool is great and allows you to cool down if do not want to go the beach. San Juan del Sur beach is few minutes away.

Thanks to you Madeley, hope to see you soon!
