7BR villa in San Juan del Sur

La Casa del Mar Beachfront at Marseille Beach - Villas for Rent in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua

Great host, great place, great beach. 5 Stars.

Very nice property. Great location. Staff were helpful.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful beach house in a perfect location! It was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The views were incredible, and the host was excellent to work with. We loved every minute of our stay and would definitely return.

It was a gorgeous property. Enjoyed the private pool, the showers by the pool, the barbecue and the cabanas. The vibe was very cute , modern and it was tastefully done. Ac’s , Laundry worked really well. The caretaker Claudia on the property was very responsive and helpful and took good care of us. She responded to any potential issues right away. We also had her prep meals for us and pick up groceries which she did nicely for a good rate. The only thing is that the road access to the property was a little difficult. And there was water collected in a pot hole which some taxis were apprehensive to drive on. We did not rent a car which was good, but did find two taxi options who would come and pick us up and take us to where we need to go so that ended up not being a real problem for us. Overall, highly recommend this place !

Thank you for such great feedback, Neha! Yes the road is a little rough from the highway with rainy season being here, but as you point out, worth the effort! Claudia had nothing but good things to say about your and your group, thank you!

Great! It's possible to swim to the island! Note that there is no soap, iron or dryer. Otherwise everything is perfect

Tres bien! Il est possible de nager jusqu’a l’île ! A noter qu’il n’y a pas de savon, fer a repasser et sechoir. Sinon tout est parfait

We had a great time in this beautiful home. Everyone enjoyed all the amenities. Elsey was a great host , she was very fast in responding. The recommended chefs Abraham and Manuel were great ! The food was delicious. Our large group enjoyed the location and the direct access to the beach with great views . Thank you guys till next time 👍🏽

COCKROACHES, POOR HYGIENE, HOUSE IN POOR CONDITION, PANIC AND MORE. The house is spacious from the moment you enter. The problem is when you enter the rooms. The advertisement shows clean, pleasant rooms, but when you enter you are hit by a strong smell of moisture and old wood. The walls are full of mold (mold is harmful to health) the lamps on the night tables are broken, the door handles were in poor condition, the light switches too. The sheets were stained, faded. The master bedroom bathroom had a kind of "planter" that was stained, dirty, with dead cockroaches, stones and was generally disgusting. The air conditioners make an unbearable noise all night, if you are sensitive to noise at night you will definitely not be able to rest. The other main room was worse, a family member was trapped for an hour without a cell phone and panicked in the bathroom. Get ready to see a lot of cockroaches, the host says they are "normal"

CUCARACHAS, MALA HIGIENE , CASA EN MAL ESTADO , PÁNICO Y MÁS. La casa desde que entras es amplia, el problema radica cuando entras a los cuartos , en la publicidad te muestran unos cuartos limpios , agradables pero cuando entras te golpea un fuerte olor a humedad y madera vieja. Las paredes están llenas de moho (el moho es perjudicial para la salud) las lámparas de las mesas de noche están rotas, las maniguetas de las puertas estaban en mal estado , los apagadores igual. Las sábanas estaban manchadas , desteñidas. El cuarto principal el baño tenía una especie de “jardinera” que estaba manchada, sucia, con cucarachas muertas , piedras y en general asqueroso. Los aires acondicionados hacen un ruido insoportable toda la noche, si sos sensible a los ruidos en la noche definitivamente no podrás descansar. El otro cuarto principal era peor , una familiar pasó atrapada una hora sin celular y con pánico en el baño. Prepárense a ver muchas cucarachas, la anfitriona dice que son “normales”

We want to clarify a few key points for future guests. Upon arrival, your group brought additional unregistered guests beyond the reservation, exceeding the home’s capacity. As a goodwill gesture, we waived the additional guest fees. During your stay, you repeatedly focused on a bathroom plant shown in listing photos that had since died, and referred to this as “false advertising.” As this is a live plant, its condition can naturally change over time. Regardless, we addressed every legitimate concern you raised immediately (including the lamp and switch), and our team remained responsive throughout your stay. We also need to note that our staff experienced unacceptable cleanliness and conduct, including used toilet paper being left on the bathroom floor (despite bins being provided), and rude interactions with our cleaner and meet-and-greet support. Regarding insects: this is a tropical, coastal environment, and occasional insects can occur, but the home is regularly cleaned and maintained. We take cleanliness seriously and do not agree with the characterization in this review. We stand by our property and the many positive experiences guests have had here, and we wish you all the best.

Great place just outside of San Juan Del Sur.  Beautiful beach/bay that we enjoyed every day.  Overall a great stay and we would come back!

This place was incredible! The way you can just be there and relax is impressive. The house is right on the beach, it’s just as you see it in pictures. The space is great and accommodates everyone. The rooms a really big and well equipped, as far as towels and toilet paper. Kitchen also well equipped for basic needs. Claudia was great at responding on anything we needed while we were in the house. The house is beautiful, modern, and luxurious.

Thanks Mariela! It was so lovely hosting you all!

Beautiful home, and panoramic views! Not meant for exploring locally, if that's your plan. We enjoyed staying in the home and enjoyed the beach. Enjoyed the recommended chef, Abraham- phenomenal skills and easy going guy.  Would definitely visit San Juan again in the future. Laura was a great host!

It is the perfect place to simply be. We really enjoyed hosting you!

Excellent location with a quiet, serene beach. We stayed with another family and found there was ample space for everyone. The BBQ area was fantastic, and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed. The beachside restaurant was incredibly convenient and served delicious food. Elsi and Claudia were very helpful and answered all questions quickly, would highly recommend.

Thank you very much Wayne, it was great to host you all!

The home was beautiful and well thought of. Perfect for every age range. Laura was very helpful as well as the people who work on property. Only thing was the tv in living room was not available during our stay because they had told us they couldn’t get it to work but that’s fine because we mostly enjoyed the beach and pool anyways. Although we ate out everyday and didn’t use the kitchen, it looked very well equipped for any use. Incredible home. Thank you for the hospitality.

Than you Kaylee- it was great to host you and we are super sorry about the TV issue!

The Villa was better than expected, the semi private cove of Marsella made us feel like we where on our own island.   Elsi the host connected us with in home chefs and massages therapists and van drivers.   She helped make planning the details so simple. She even connected me with a 2 day car rental  to go to the surf beaches, I couldn't find it on line and she had it with in minutes.   The private chefs where amazing.   The house has generators which is huge because we found out Nicaragua loses power frequently.   If you don't want the business of SJDS but want to be close enough to go out but still have private beach, this is the place.    10.5 out of 10

An ideal place for a family vacation near nature. The house has a unique location facing the beach and offers comfort and tranquility. Definitely a place I'd like to go back to.

Un lugar ideal para unas vacaciones en familia cerca de la naturaleza. La casa tiene una ubicación única frente a la playa y ofrece comodidad y tranquilidad. Definitivamente un lugar al que me gustaría volver.

This is a very beautiful property on one of my favourite beaches in Nicaragua. This property is perfect for a large family or two families even. There are two very large principal suites with king size beds, each beside multiple bedrooms with their own ensuites. This is my third time visiting that area, and the most time I have ever spent in my rental. It was just too nice to leave.  The outdoor lounging is perfection..a very well thought out design. The pool is amazing, warm, clean and large enough to actually swim.The family that lives on the property that care for the home are an absolute delight. We hired them to cook us a meal, which was absolutely delicious. Elsi who we met upon arrival at check-in was extremely responsive.  She also helped us organize some amazing massages right there on the property. She’s extremely helpful, speaks great English.. an absolute advantage when planning to make the best family memories. It’s in a great area… we will return, can’t wait.

Robin- we are so glad to read this. It was our pleasure to host you and your family. Thank you for your kindness, and we look forward to having you back at the home in the future.

The place is spectacular. Wonderful home on a beautiful beach. The owners are very attentive and easy to work with.

Beautiful place. Be prepared for  occasional power outages. Well worth the stay.

the place is terrific, the beach is incredible.  the pictures don't do it justice it is by far better, and the personnel on site are really helpful and understanding.

It was lovely to host you Claudia, we do hope to welcome you back in the future.

Beautiful house, peaceful place.  I would definitely come back.

Where to even start! This place was absolutely incredible. This may have been the first time I walked into an Airbnb and was stunned by the fact that it's even better than the pictures. We loved the open-air vibe of the pool, deck area, living room, and kitchen. The pool was the absolute best part of this house. We had 2 littles with us and they were able to play on the kiddie side where the water was only 2 feet deep and the adults were able to enjoy the rest. The daybeds were magical and whimsical. The bedrooms were great and the AC worked very well. Wifi was great and allowed some of us to work remotely during our stay. Access to the beach was a dream. You can surf and play in the waves just steps from the house. Make sure to have Claudia cook for you! She was incredible and every meal was delicious. 10/10 on this property. We loved it and would absolutely come again.

Alexa- thank you so, so much! We really enjoyed hosting your incredibly kind and sweet group!

Absolutely amazing location! Host was phenomenal and the on sight host Claudia is out of this world. Her food and attention to detail was amazing.  Let her cook you some carne asada and local sides you will not regret it.

You were wonderful Christopher. Thank you.

This place was absolutely amazing. It was stunning, and the beach felt very private. It was a bit far from stores and supplies so definitely helpful to have a car to be able to go to and fro. I recommend not getting a small car as the road to get there is dirt and filled with bumps large and small (as expected given the beautiful solitude of this place). Vero and Claudia were helpful and full of great recommendations.

Thank you Megan for being a great guest. Yes the road to town is the worst it's been in some time but we look forward to the scheduled repairs this spring.

What an incredible Home, atmosphere & location. Would stay here over & over again. We were only a small group , 3 adults & 3 kids, more than enough space to have another 2-3 families. Claudia was also amazing as well. Can’t wait to go back!

The house is in a nice, private location with the beach in the back. Very convenient if you plan on spending a lot of time at the house. House is great for big groups, and the host suggested some cooks who were truly amazing. They cooked for us everyday… extremely convenient. They also have someone who stays looking out for the house at night. Be mindful! You WILL get locked in the bathroom in the upstairs master bedroom if you close the door. It just automatically locks when you close the door, so I highly suggest for you not to close it at all, unless someone is in the room with you. I got locked in there for a while and panicked, until someone came to get me.

Gracias Janelly! We've dealt with that lock- apologies for that! Thanks for being such a great group.

What a wonderful beachside paradise with a lovely host!

This home has a good mix of rustic & beach decor with added modern luxuries. Plenty of space to lounge & relax. We opted to have our meals cooked for us every day & each meal was plentiful & extremely delicious. Our family had a wonderful stay & the communication was always on point. Each room has AC & there are ceiling fans throughout. There are electricity usage limits with overage charges so be mindful of your usage. Bring sandals with good grip because the yard has stepping stones & lots of rocks so watch your step. If possible, bring your drinking water & groceries before arrival so you’re stocked up. The beachfront access was amazing & the stargazing was incredible. Note that the main doors to the house do not stay closed but there is a 24 hour guard on duty. Every bedroom does have double locks though.

Great, detailed review Loyda. Thank you for this!!

Great home on a nice small, semi private beach. Home is nice and open on a large property on the beach. The sand and green water were great and relaxing everyday of our stay. The home has all of the necessities needed for a comfortable stay. The house is comfortable and spacious, with a great spot for catching sun by the pool. One note is that there is no daily cleaning service on site other than open spaces in the yard. There is no daily room, kitchen or other indoor space cleaning. Not an issue for a small group, but when hosting others on a vacation it can become a job to keep up with the cleaning on a home this size. The site cleaner did empty the kitchen trash and keep the open air spaces swept but that was the limit during our stay, which is not what we are accustomed to in the country and with other High expensive rentals in Central America. Not trying to sound lazy as we like to clean up after ourselves and/or leave large excessive tips. But just felt no real service at this place. We would stay again though, as it is a great house on a great beach. The view is fantastic.

Thank you Israel. Our sincere apologies regarding the cleaning- we strive for a higher standard and have addressed this with our team. We hope to have you back in the future so we can show you this improvement!

We loved the house. Veronica and Claudia went out of their way to help us out and make our stay memorable. Beautiful location.We will recommend it for family and friends gathering. Awesome Beach !! Playa Marsella was great close enough to San Juan Del Sur. A little hidden gem

Marseille is a beautiful beach and the house is steps from the sea.

Marsella es una hermosa playa y la casa está a pasos Del Mar.

Excellent house! Good location and services suitable for large families.

Casa Excelente! Buena ubicación y servicios Apropiada para familias grande.

It's a house with a lot of space. It's very comfortable and beautiful

Es una casa con mucho espacio es muy cómoda y es hermosa

Our group of three families with seven kids between us had an incredible time here. The pool was perfect for the kids, the view was unbeatable, and the beach in front felt like it was there just for us. The house is designed so that you spend most of your time outside, but in a luxurious and comfortable way. We can’t wait to go back again.

Ben! Thanks sooooo much- we look forward to your return.

Ana’s place is fantastic!  The space is amazing. We spent most days by the pool watching the waves!  Lots of shade near the pool and plenty of room for everyone to spread out!

Wonderful spot!!! Right on the beach. Super relaxing.

Our stay was more than superb. It had everything we needed. Claudia (the chef/cleaning lady) was heaven sent. You pay a small fee for her to cook and boy she does not disappoint! And her husband was always on point as well, he helped us build a Fogata and bring large logs to make it. Kitchen, rooms and bathrooms were very clean. I recommend to request towels to Claudia for the pool, we had her doing a million things so it's good to speak up and remind her. Claudia and the husband were always so nice and so sweet and everyone went above and beyond to take care us. The Check-in was smooth, make sure you communicate what time you will get there. There's not a lot of places for food, except for Maderas or San Juan, so make sure you stock up in groceries. We are booking the place again later this year. A+

A rad place to bring a group of friends to celebrate everything. I give a lot props to the family taking care of the grounds. They were a lot of help with anything we needed or wanted. Definitely impressed.

Thanks Jamie!  We all enjoyed hosting you!!

Excellent location, very well designed house, spacious spaces, well equipped kitchen, spectacular beach

Excelente ubicación, casa muy bien diseñada, espacios amplios, cocina bien equipada, la playa espectacular

100% recommended. We had a great time with the colleagues, looking forward to coming back

100% recomendada. Nos la pasamos súper con los compañeros de trabajo, con muchas ganas de volver

No words can described this amazing place. We hope to return in the near future. The caregivers were extremely helpful.  Thank you both.

The house is very nice and the private beach, what's missing is more cleaning staff to have the house ready on time

La casa es muy linda y la playa privada, lo que falta es más personal de limpieza para tener lista la casa a tiempo

Awesome place to visit with big family, we had an amazing weekend.

The house is beautiful, its amenities and extraordinary view!!!

La casa es preciosa, sus comodidades y vista extraordinaria!!!

We had a party of 20+ everyone was comfortable the house is beautiful, well taken care of, the views are amazing. Thank you for the beautiful memories we were able to create

It was lovely hosting you all!  The pleasure was ours.

House is the perfect Large Family Retreat. Tasteful decor. Great housekeeper. Sublime pool and dinner table. Pool has a kid friendly section. We had great time.

You were lovely guests and we hope to have you back in the future Rafael!  Gracias!
