This is the second time I book this awesome Airbnb. It is always a pleasure to be back. 🙌🏻

A Stay that Stole Our Hearts Our four-day stay at Casa Manta Ray was truly unforgettable and exceeded every expectation. Everything was perfect, the comfort, beautiful décor, breathtaking ocean views, spectacular sunsets, and magical star-filled skies. It is easily one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever stayed. We came to relax, recharge, and spend quality time as a family, and it gave us all of that and more. Every moment was peaceful and filled with joy. A heartfelt thank you to Carrie for her excellent communication and for always being available to answer our questions. We are also incredibly grateful to Evelyn and Marcos for their kindness and outstanding hospitality. A special thank you to Evelyn for the delicious meals that made our stay even more memorable. Casa Manta Ray will always have a special place in our hearts. We can’t wait to come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect beachfront escape.

This is a very beautiful and unique place! We loved the privacy, the open concept and the infinity pool. The place is perfect for a group vacation. we loved that Eveling cooked a delicious meal for us and enjoyed Ivania massages. There is two very cute and friendly dogs on the property.

Our stay was excellent. The house is very nice, comfortable and exactly as shown in the photos. Everything was clean and well maintained, and the location was very convenient. The hosts were very attentive and friendly throughout the stay. I would definitely stay again!!!

Nuestra estadía fue excelente. La casa es muy bonita, cómoda y exactamente como se muestra en las fotos. Todo estaba limpio y bien cuidado, además la ubicación fue muy conveniente. Los anfitriones fueron muy atentos y amables durante toda la estancia. Definitivamente volvería a hospedarme!!!

Our stay at Casa Mantas Ray was amazing. The house is unique and beautiful, with direct ocean access and stunning views. Evelin prepared a delicious traditional meal that we truly enjoyed, and Ivania’s massage and pedicure were incredibly relaxing—definitely book both during your stay! It was truly a wonderful experience!  We will book again!

It's very nice for a super relaxing weekend and for cooling off from the heat, whether at the beach or by the pool, or for relaxing in the hammocks or on the outdoor sofas. The place is super spacious, so everyone can relax or work outdoors.

Es muy lindo para un fin de semana super relax y refrescarse de los calores ya sea en la playa o en la piscina, o descansar en las hamacas o en los sofas al aire libre, el lugar es súper espacioso por lo que cada quien puede estar descansando o trabajando al aire libre.

Beautiful dream house. Impressively maintained property.  On the beach, pool is a cherry on too. I Plan on booking again!

Really interesting place. Insanely unique. I'd go back in a second.

Carries home was even better than the pictures. They had everything we needed. The house was so special feeling . The properties caregivers were super friendly and helpful. The dinners they prepared for us were amazing. I honestly wished we had them cook for us every night we were there. I would strongly suggest this stay if you want a very private and peaceful getaway.

Carrie's place exceeded our expectations in every way. The photos don’t do it justice. It’s even more beautiful, welcoming and comfortable in person. Everything was thoughtfully set up and made for such a relaxing, memorable stay. The convenience of the stairs straight down to the beach, the outdoor shower to rinse off after, the pool with comfortable furniture, and the cozy, well-appointed bedrooms were all unmatched and made the stay effortless and enjoyable. The place feels much more spacious in person. One highlight of the trip was Eveling’s daily cooking. Every meal was incredible and something we genuinely looked forward to each day. It added such a special, personal touch to the experience and made the stay feel truly unique. We would come back in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone considering a stay here.

We had a great stay at Carrie's beautiful house with exceptional architecture, which is lovingly designed, a bit like in the museum. The direct beach access is super convenient, we especially liked the fact that you are almost alone there. We took advantage of the offer to have fresh cooking every evening for an extra charge, which we would highly recommend. There are three lovely and friendly dogs living on the premises who are happy to be petted. If we come to Nicaragua again, we will definitely check in there again.

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt in Carrie’s wunderschönem Haus mit außergewöhnlicher Architektur, das liebevoll gestaltet ist, ein bisschen wie im Museum. Der direkte Strand Zugang ist super praktisch, besonders gefallen hat uns, dass man dort quasi alleine ist. Wir haben das Angebot in Anspruch genommen uns gegen einen Aufpreis jeden Abend frisch bekochen zu lassen, was wir sehr empfehlen würden. Auf dem Gelände leben drei liebe und menschenfreundliche Hunde, die sich über Streicheleinheiten freuen. Wenn wir noch einmal nach Nicaragua kommen sollten, werden wir auf jeden Fall dort wieder einchecken.

Everything was great until the power went out on Saturday at 10pm and came back on Sunday at 9-10am. Which made the stay difficult as no one could sleep because of the heat. Also, the pool pump wasn't working and it was a little dirty. From there the The rest of the place is nice and very comfortable.

Todo estuvo muy bien hasta que se fue la luz el día sábado 10pm y regreso domingo 9-10am. Lo cual dificultó la estadía ya que ninguno pudo dormir del calor. Igualmente la bomba de la piscina no funcionaba y estaba un poco sucia. De ahí el Resto del lugar es lindo y muy cómodo.

We’re very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced during the power outage. As we are located in a small, secluded coastal village in Nicaragua, occasional utility interruptions can happen beyond our control. That said, as soon as we were made aware, we worked as quickly as possible with our local team and technicians to address the issue and restore everything to normal. With a full house of seven guests, electrical demand can be quite high, especially during hot evenings, and that can sometimes strain systems in rural areas. We are actively making improvements to help prevent situations like this in the future. We also issued a partial refund as a gesture of goodwill for the inconvenience, as guest comfort is very important to us. We care deeply about maintaining the property and are constantly working behind the scenes to improve systems and ensure a smooth experience for our guests. Thank you again for your stay and your understanding

Casa Manta Ray is the most creative, unique, romantic and beautiful home that we have ever stayed.  The pictures do not do this home justice - it is much better than pictured!  My wife and I visited for a quick romantic getaway and Casa Manta Ray nailed it.  But the whole time we were also realizing how eager and great it is going to be when we come back with the whole family and it would also be perfect for that as well.  I cannot speak or rate Casa Manta Ray highly enough - I wish that I could offer 5++++ stars.  And Carrie is a perfect host.  Genuine, caring and real.  I highly recommend to experience Casa Manta Ray as you will never forget the experience.

Our experience was excellent. The accommodation was very nice and the decoration of the house was simply spectacular, with attention to every detail. The beach practically felt like private, since most of the time it was just for us, which made the stay even more special. In addition, the managers were very attentive and always willing to help. Definitely a totally recommended place.

Nuestra experiencia fue excelente. El alojamiento era muy bonito y la decoración de la casa simplemente espectacular, cuidada en cada detalle. La playa prácticamente se sentía como privada, ya que la mayor parte del tiempo estaba solo para nosotros, lo que hizo la estancia aún más especial. Además, los encargados fueron muy atentos y siempre dispuestos a ayudar. Sin duda, un lugar totalmente recomendable.

We were two families living in the house, which is probably one of the most beautiful houses I've ever lived in. Really impressive architecture, very exciting art and very personally decorated. We felt at home in the house and the family that takes care of the house and the guests were very sweet and helpful. They cooked most of our meals, which we would definitely recommend. The area is very deserted and along the beach there are several abandoned houses. It gives a lot of peace and quiet, but also a bit of a tame atmosphere. If you need a peaceful vacation in very beautiful architectural surroundings, this is the right place.

Vi boede to familier i huset, der nok er et af de smukkeste huse, jeg har boet i. Virkelig imponerede arkitektur, meget spændende kunst og meget personligt indrettet. Vi følte os hjemme i huset og familien, der passer på huset og gæsterne, var meget søde og hjælpsomme. De tilberedte de fleste af vores måltide, hvilket vi helt klart vil anbefale. Området er meget øde og langs stranden er flere huse forladte. Det giver meget fred og ro, men også en lidt tam stemning. Hvis du trænger til en fredelig ferie i meget smukke arkitektoniske omgivelser er dette det helt rigtige sted.

We loved Carrie's house and the service of the caretakers, who were very diligent. We had a problem with the electricity service for about 5 hours and Carrie compensated us for the inconvenience, giving us a refund. We couldn't enjoy the sea because it was dirty due to the rainy season, but we greatly enjoyed the views and walked along the beach! An improvement would be an additional bathroom near the pool area, so you don't have to go wet to the ones in the rooms.

Nos encantó la casa de Carrie y la atención de los cuidadores, muy diligentes. Tuvimos un problema de falta del servicio de luz de aprox 5hrs y Carrie nos compensó por el inconveniente, dándonos un reembolso. No pudimos disfrutar del mar debido a que estaba sucio el mar debido a la temporada lluviosa pero disfrutamos grandemente las vistas y caminamos por la playa! Un punto de mejora sería un baño adicional cerca del área de la piscina, para no tener que entrar mojados a los de las habitaciones.

Carrie was extremely proactive and responsive in helpful finalizing the reservation after I made some mistakes. She and the caretakers also accommodated our late check-in, still assisting and showing the place so we could get settled quickly. The place was as described and the photos accurately represented what we received. All the rooms were clean and prepped well for our arrival. We also took advantage of some extra cooking services provided by the catchers. They accommodated our requests and we were blown away by the food and service!

Great beach and very comfortable house. Pool was great, house had everything we needed for our stay. Carrie as well as the caretakers were very helpful and communicative. My family had a lovely time and look forward to coming back!

Great place to spend vacation. Peaceful, quiet, private. I will be back soon🙏

Our stay was amazing. This house makes you connect with nature in a wonderful way✨

Nuestra estancia fue increíble, Esta casa te hace conectar con la naturaleza de una manera maravillosa✨

I loved the pool and the common areas! The kitchen is a true masterpiece, with breathtaking views that make cooking an absolute pleasure. I can’t wait to come back!

My family and I had wonderful stay in Nicaragua. Carrie’s house was right on the beach and very peaceful. I loved watching all the wildlife right from the house. Marcos was great and assisted with anything we needed during our stay. It felt like a home away from home.

The Manta Ray house is one of the most hedonistic and curious places we have ever stayed in! The architecture of the house is very unique, with local materials and spacious outdoor common areas protected from the sun. In addition, all the decoration is typical of a museum, making the experience of living there very stimulating. Eveling and Marcos are always attentive, we recommend buying local fish and Eveling's cooking! The views are spectacular and the beach is amazing. We were two families with small children, and both they and the adults enjoyed the experience. Totally recommended!!

La casa Manta Ray es uno de los alojamientos más hedonistas y curiosos en el que nos hemos hospedado! La arquitectura de la casa es muy particular, con materiales locales y generosos espacios comunes exteriores protegidos del sol. Además toda la decoración es propia de museo, haciendo la experiencia de habitar muy estimulante. Eveling y Marcos siempre están atentos, recomendamos la compra de pescado local y la elaboración de Eveling! Las vistas son espectaculares y la playa una gozada. Nosotros éramos dos familias con niños pequeños, y tanto ellos como los adultos disfrutamos de la experiencia. Totalmente recomendable!!

We’ve stayed at dozens of properties in the US, Europe, and Mexico in the last decade, and Casa Manta is the best of them all!  The house itself is stunning – beautifully decorated, open to the sky and sea breezes, with sweeping views of the ocean.  The beach, just a short stroll down a paved, lit path, is incredible, with soft sand, vigorous surf, and no one else around. Marcos and Eveling (who live in a separate house on property) are friendly, attentive, and willing to help as much as you’d like (she’s a wonderful cook - we loved her fresh seafood dinners!). Carrie, the owner, was friendly and responsive to our requests and questions. Don’t come here if you’re looking for nightlife, shopping and beach activities.  But if you want a comfortable, restful retreat with a virtually private beach and more stars at night than you ever imagined, then this is your place!

Amazing stay at this unique property! The house is spacious, comfortable and filled with art and works that make everything very special and interesting. The beds are extremely comfortable and we slept very well there. Carrie is a truly exceptional host, very attentive, proactive and full of resources. We are lucky to have stayed in his beautiful home and to have made the most of the pool and the beach. Every night, Nicaragua's most spectacular sunsets await! A real paradise.

Séjour incroyable dans cette propriété unique! La maison est spacieuse, confortable et remplie d’objets d’art et d’oeuvres qui rendent le tout très spécial et intéressant. Les lits sont extrêmement confortables et nous y avons très bien dormi. Carrie est une hôte vraiment exceptionnelle, très attentionnée, proactive et pleine de ressources. Nous sommes chanceux d’avoir séjourné dans sa magnifique maison et d’avoir profité au maximum de la piscine et de la plage. Chaque soir, les couchers de soleil les plus spectaculaires du Nicaragua vous attendent! Un vrai paradis.

Carrie has made this place a paradise. We were so happy with Eveling’s cooking and Henry’s care. I would recommend anyone to stay for at least 3 days. The house has unique decor which makes the stay more enjoyable. We will come back for sure!

So far the best beach abnb I've visited. great host communication, we definitely need to come back

Hasta ahora el mejor abnb de playa que he visitado. comunicación del anfitrión genial, definitivamente debemos volver

Casa Manta Ralla is a hidden gem in the pacific coast of Nicaragua Stunning beach front, house decor just top notch for beach entertainment, each of your family members can enjoy within different areas to unwind, relax and have time of your life. Definitely a MUST visit place in Nicaragua PD host Carrie and house caretakers (Eveling and Henry) were attentive and take care of ourselves, felt right at home !!

The house is absolutely beautiful.  Perfect location for those who want tranquility.  The caretakers (Henry and Eveling) were very helpful and helpful.  Eveling is a great cook!  The hosts are very responsive and have responded quickly to all our requests.  Plan the grocery store in advance since nothing around except a few pulperia.

La maison est absolument magnifique.  Emplacement parfait pour ceux qui désirent la tranquillité.  Les gardiens (Henry et Eveling) ont été très aidants et serviables.  Eveling est une excellente cuisinière !  Les hôtes sont très réactifs et ont répondu rapidement à toutes nos demandes.  Prévoir l'épicerie d'avance puisque rien aux alentours sinon quelques pulperia.
