Nicaragua is such a beautiful place, and Ana made sure we were able to experience so much of it! The house was great, and we will be back. Guasacate is such a chill vibe.

This place is gorgeous! The house itself was in great condition, everything was perfect and just as described in the listing. The beach was like 100 yards away from the house in an easy to walk route. Ana Cristina was always friendly and eager to answer your questions. Me and my family had great time here and will definitely comeback whenever possible

Our stay at Ana's was very nice. The house is furnished with a lot of taste and is very well designed. The location is very good and close to the beach. Ana helped us very quickly and courteously in all situations. Our stay was 10/10... we would come back.

Unser Aufenthalt bei Ana war sehr schön. Das Haus ist mit viel Geschmack eingerichtet und sehr toll gestaltet. Die Lage ist sehr gut und nahe beim Strand. Ana hat uns in allen Situation sehr schnell und zuvorkommend geholfen. Unser Aufenthalt war 10/10... wir würden wieder kommen.

The house is very beautiful and well decorated. The kitchen is the highlight; it has everything and is high quality. Having cleaning during the stay is also a positive point. Perfect location, practically on the beach but protected, which is important in this region. There was a problem with the tides, and the house, being elevated from the ground and set back, remained intact, which is wonderful. Finally, Ana Cristina is extremely attentive and helpful, a great host who responds quickly and is always willing to help guests. Thank you very much for the stay, Casa Tortuguita!

A casa é muito bonita e bem decorada, a cozinha é o grande destaque, tem tudo e de qualidade. Ter limpeza durante a estadia também é um ponto positivo. Localização perfeita, praticamente na praia mas protegida o que é importante nesta região. Teve um problema com as marés e a casa como é elevada do terreno e recuada ficou intacta, o que é maravilhoso. Por fim, Ana Cristina é extremamente solicita e prestativa, uma ótima anfitriã que responde rápido e sempre disposta a ajudar os hóspedes. Muito obrigada pela estadia, Casa Tortuguita!

Ana’s place was amazing for our trip! She was so responsive, helped with lots of local recommendations and it was exactly as described. Amazing location near the beach and other restaurants in Guasacate. The house is fully updated with all the amenities you need. We’ll definitely be staying here again on our next trip!

This is a great house with all the amenities you need, walking distance to the beach and in a great location! Ana is a great host very communicative and gives great recommendations. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone!

We loved our stay at this Airbnb. Stunning views, gorgeous place, and a lovely pool. Ana Cristina was a great host and very available. We would highly recommend this Airbnb.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans ce RBNB. Vue magnifique, logement magnifique et superbe piscine. Ana Cristina a été une très bonne hôte et très disponible. Nous recommandons vraiment ce RBNB.

Excellent place to stay - modern, clean, comfortable beds, nice little pool and pretty yard, steps to the beach. My family of 4, including 2 teen boys, stayed for a week and thoroughly enjoyed it. The location is great - beautiful, uncrowded beach out front, perfect for sunset boogie boarding. Central to surf spots and restaurants. Ana was an amazing host - super responsive, and helped us with all of the bells and whistles: transportation, surf boats, fishing boat, restaurant recommendations/reservations, boogie board rental, etc., and even invited us to see her release baby sea turtles!  A highlight of our trip. Already dreaming of our next visit! Thank you again Ana!

We loved our stay at Casa Tortuguita! The house is beautiful, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything we needed. Ana was an amazing host—very friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. The home was spotless and stylish, and the location was perfect. It’s within walking distance to restaurants, and the beach is just steps away.

We had an amazing stay at this house. The home is very beautiful and extremely comfortable, with everything we needed. There are so many birds around, which makes the place feel peaceful and special. Ana Cristina truly went above and beyond. She is the best host I have ever had. She helped us with restaurant recommendations, reservations, and activities, always with so much care and attention. The beach is gorgeous and very quiet, and we loved enjoying the stunning sunsets every afternoon. We were also lucky enough to help release baby turtles while we were there, as the host family protects them. It was such a meaningful and unforgettable experience. This was truly one of the best stays we’ve ever had. I highly recommend it and would absolutely come back.

I loved the house, it is perfectly equipped and everything is very close and convenient.

Ame la casa, está perfectamente equipada y adicional todo muy cerca y cómodo.

Amazing host, amazing place to stay, great location.

Ana was an excellent host for an excellent property. Very communicative, very helpful and reaching out regularly to check in. 10/10 recommend to everyone

We have been traveling to the Popoyo/Guasacate area for almost 10 years. Ana Cristina’s property is by far the best and most well equipped home we have stayed in. We travelled with our 3 kids and the pool, proximity to the beaches, market and restaurants is perfect. Viento Este is directly next door with amazing pizza and few nights a week. The kitsch is well stocked with great quality cookware so cooking is easy. The housekeeper Yenny was so nice and can make you delicious meals at an extra fee. Ana Cristina is a great resource for recommendations and help with anything you could need. We highly recommend this property!

The house is beautiful, fully equipped and with an amazing beach. Great for clearing your mind of the routine, I'd like to come back.

La casa está lindisima, totalmente equipada y con una playa increíble. Buenísima para despejarte de la rutina, convidado a regresar.

This place was simply incredible and is truly a gem in this area. Stay here and you will be overwhelmed with satisfaction. The house itself is as incredible as the nature it is immersed in.

A stunning modern oasis in Popoyo!  Steps from the beach, a beautiful private pool, a fully equipped kitchen ready for a chef, great A/C and very comfortable furniture. The best place to stay in the area! Ana is a wonderful host, we will definitely be back!!

The place is really beautiful, next to the beach and with a swimming pool perfect for chilling. Ana Cristina is an amazing host always available and helpful.

We had the perfect stay in this beautiful bungalow 2 seconds walk from the best beach we’ve ever visited. It was in the best location just 10 mins walk from lovely beachfront restaurants and a 2 min walk to the cafe with the best coffee in town. Guasacate is the most amazing place to visit in Nicaragua - we actually preferred it to Popoyo. So highly recommend this bungalow in this location. Thank you to Ana for making our stay so easy! We will definitely be back.

The house is impeccable, the pans and kitchen accessories are magnificent, lots of nice touches, good beds, towels and furniture, and Ana Cristina is very helpful and attentive to make sure you enjoy your visit. Highly recommended

La casa impecable, los sartenes y accesorios de cocina magníficos muchos detalles, buenas camas, toallas y muebles y Ana Cristina muy servicial y atenta para disfrutar la visita. Muy recomendable

Beautifully, clean and a very nice kitchen Ana even brought us coconuts trough out our stay.

Wonderful little house with everything you need to spend beautiful moments with family or friends! Our host was also very friendly and made himself available for all our requests. Thank you!!
