Oceanfront Villa: Pool, Rancho & Beach Access - Villas for Rent in El Tránsito, León, Nicaragua

MarAzul is awesome. The house and the location were exactly as described, maybe even better. Loved walking down to the beach and spending time in the pool watching the sunset. Jenelle and Nelson, the caretaker, are very responsive and helpful. I’m already looking forward to our next trip to Nicaragua and to MarAzul.

Thanks for your kind words Eddy! It was our pleasure to host you. We hope to see you again soon!

Casa Marazul is an absolutely stunning place that surrounded by raw nature. With the sound of the ocean crashing on the rocks at night and zero light pollution to see the stars over the ocean is incredible. The property caretaker on site is a wonderful man and keeps the place spotless. The Pool was cleaned daily. I would 100% recommend this location to anyone looking for peace and access to amazing surf just 7 min drive from the property.

Excellent place and service; Nelson, the caretaker, was very friendly and responded quickly to our needs. The place is very quiet and very clean; the rooms are comfortable. I would definitely go back without a second thought.

Excelente lugar y atención, Nelson el cuidador muy amable y atendía rápidamente a nuestras necesidades. El lugar muy tranquilo y muy limpio las habitaciones cómodas. definitivamente volvería sin pensarlo dos veces

Casa Marazul is the perfect spot for a family vacation! We had our 7 month old with us and the protected tide pools in front of the house were perfect for him. It was also super walkable to surfing and only about 20-25 minutes to walk into town. We loved the pool but wished there was an umbrella stand that could give a little bit of shade in the pool. The outdoor living area was so nice and the kitchen was well equipped. A previous review had said there was a small fridge and no freezer but that has been changed and the fridge and freezer were great! Nelson the property caretaker was super helpful and friendly. We enjoyed having him around. Hopefully we will be back!

The place was very nice and big spaces! Perfect for family with kids! Nelson the caretaker was super nice and helpful!

Amazing house!! Great views, a clean and well kept place. I went with my family of 6 and we all enjoyed so much, and hoping to be back. Easy to get to, about 2 hr drive from Managua, instructions were very clear on how to get there. Roads seem to be in pretty good shape, no need for a 4x4 (has happened to me before) We were able to get shrimp and lobster from the Acopios and it was very affordable. Nelson was very helpful and always ready to help.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We hope to see you again!

Very nice experience, Casa Mar Azul undoubtedly offers a clean, pleasant, comfortable and fully equipped environment, we went as a family and had a great time, I totally recommend the place. Nelson was very attentive, always available to help with whatever was needed, Jenelle thank you very much for letting us stay at your house, always responding promptly to inquiries.

Muy bonita experiencia, casa Mar Azul sin lugar a dudas ofrece un ambiente limpio, agradable, cómodo y totalmente equipado, fuimos en familia y la pasamos muy bien, recomiendo totalmente el lugar. Nelson fue muy atento siempre presente para ayudar en lo que se necesita, Jenelle muchas gracias por permitirnos alojarnos en su casa, siempre respondiendo con prontitud las consultas.

Wow! Great house and Mr. Nelson's service was wonderful. I would recommend in future remodeling to put a roof over the pool for the sun and to purchase a freezer. The refrigerator is very small for large families and getting ice in town is a bit difficult. But we spent 4 wonderful days and Jennelle was a very good host. We hope to return!

Wow! gran casa y la atención de don Nelson fue maravillosa. Recomendaria en remodelaciones futuras poner techo en la piscina por el sol y adquirir un freezer. la refrigeradora es muy pequeña para familias grandes y conseguir hielo en el pueblo es un poco dificil. pero pasamos 4 días maravillos y Jennelle fue muy buena anfritriona. esperamos volver!

It's a really nice, comfortable, safe place. They treated us very well, highly recommended

Es un lugar super bonito, cómodo, seguro nos atendieron muy bien, super recomendado

This is my second time visiting Jenelle's house and I always go super happy. She's really friendly and communicative.

Esta es la segunda vez que visito la casa de Jenelle y siempre me voy súper contenta. Ella es súper amable y comunicativa.

I love El Transito -- our family has been coming for years to the beach and this year was extra special since my parents were celebrating 50yrs of their wedding anniversary. We splurged and rented this beautiful home for a weekend and we just had a blissful time. We arrived earlier than expected, but we were able to drop off our bags w/o issues. Nelson was fantastic -- very humble and super friendly. He showed us around the house and the property. The home was huge and spacious, we took all food and took advantage of the nicely stocked kitchen and grill. The pool is immense and beautiful..I love that it overlooks the beach...I spent every waking hour in the water. The rooms and bed are very comfortable -- we didn't know how to work the cold shower I'm the bathrooms, so that should be looked at with instructions with future guests. My entire family had a fantastic time in Marazul.

great location and asking for a bigger group of people. we really enjoyed our stay and will come back!

Amazing stay with gorgeous pool and view of the ocean! This is our second time staying at Casa Marazul, and it was wonderful again. The caretaker, Nelson, is very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning!

The house is BEAUTIFUL truly a hidden gem. Host & Nelson the care taker were amazing. The only downfall is the road to get to the house, we rented a regular car and it got all damaged in the bottom. It should specify that only trucks or SUVs should be rented because of the roads ( no pavement only rocks, dirt and huge potholes) Also it should also state that if it rains the power will be shot off and the water. It took 6 hrs for them to be turn back on.

The house was very nice, the whole staff was very attentive and kind, only an air did not freeze very well, but otherwise it was very good, my family and I liked both the facilities and the atmosphere, very nice sunsets could be seen 😄

La Casa muy linda, muy agradable todo el personal muy atento y amable, solo que un aire no helaba muy bien, pero de resto estaba muy bien, a mi familia y a mi nos gustó tanto las instalaciones como el ambiente, muy lindos atardeceres se veía 😄

Nelson (the caretaker) was very helpful & friendly with my family. Anything we needed he was there or a call away, eventually he became part of the family 😊 Beautiful home, amazing views & a lovely pool !! Our stay was great, definitely want to revisit in the future. Thank you Jenelle & Nelson !! 😇😇😇

Thank you so much for your kind words! We hope to see you again.

The location has a nice view of the beach and it is secluded. The kitchen was barely usable there was so many many flies that would make anyone sick. it doesn't appear anyone had previously cleaned it properly. The rooms were large but the bedding was lacking. The showers lacked water pressure. The first night there was no internet available.  One of the nights the electricity was gone for a while. The property requires some cleaning between guests.  We required more mosquito repellent then sunblock there was so many no matter the time of day.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback about your recent trip. Unfortunately, your vacation fell in a particularly rainy week of rainy season. With the rain, the flies are always prevalent. As this is an open living space, the flies are beyond our control. The house was cleaned and checked by management prior to your arrival and is fumigated regularly. With regards to the internet and power, we had a signifcant electrical storm a few days prior to your arrival and the internet tower was struck by lightning. The entire village suffered both internet and electrical outages as they tried to repair the problems. As we live in a tropical climate, we outfit the beds with sheets. We find that this helps to reduce excessive use of the air-conditioning units and in turn, reduces our carbon footprint. You were provided with phone numbers for both myself and the caretaker. Neither of us were informed of issues with the directions and your arrival, nor were these issues addressed with management at any point during your stay. Had we known, we would have worked to help you find solutions to make your stay more enjoyable.

Great place to stay with beautiful views. Very private.

The place is private, peaceful and very spacious. It's located in the outskirts of a fishing village; not a lot to do but that's what we wanted. The kitchen had all the necessities available, the pool was great (warm all the time), the beds were comfortable, and the ocean view was beautiful. It's a little run down but it was fine. The lava rocks on the ocean are great to bathe and explore during low tide, we could see crabs of all sizes walking and hiding along the rocks. During high tide the ocean isn’t safe so we used the pool. There were flies and mosquitoes, but we brought bug repellent from home. Nelson the caretaker lives in a separate house in the property, and takes care of the pool and other things. He's friendly and when we needed to buy something in the village he’ll go with us. Jenelle was great, she always responsive and promptly answered our questions and concerns.

Nelson was amazing, he was very helpful, the place is beautiful a little outdated but I hear new work is in plan. I will be coming back

Great place, we're very lucky to have spent the time there, highly recommend it to anyone

Marazul is a hidden gem on the Nicaraguan coast. It occupies a beautiful bluff a 10 min walk north of the town center in El Transito. The home is immaculate! The grounds are beautiful, from the flowers to the pool to the palapa, everything was so well kept! The bedrooms are spacious and the split ac helped cool down the room before we went to sleep. The view from the bed are out of this world! The soft sound of the crashing waves below, coupled with the most comfortable bed in Nicaragua made for the best sleep we had in ages. The pool was prefect. The kitchen had all the useful tools we needed to make memorable meals. The highlight other than the obvious beauty of this home was Nelsion the caretaker. He was so attentive and helpful. His smile lights up the whole place. Nelsion over the week became a part of the family . At the end of our time there was some work being done on the property and the workers were kind, quiet and respectful. Honestly this place is a gem.

Absolutely loved our time at Marazul! The small pool was perfect for the kids, the open Rancho was great to protect us from the sun, and the easy access to the beach was amazing. Loved the natural lava rock barrier that provided safer swimming options, and great tide pools to explore. Slightly out of the way so definitely suggest having private transportation, but the airport transfer arranged went perfectly. All in all, had a wonderful stay. I would happily book this place again.

Our family of 4 had a wonderful time at MarAzul! What a lovely way to rest, enjoy the sea and experience a piece of Nicaragua. We will definitely be back. Thank you for everything!

very nice house, very nice view and all the amenities

muy bonita casa muy linda vista y todas las comodidades

Amazing stay, caretakers are amazing and always willing to help. amazing house to spend time with family if you are trying to relax. definitely will visit again

Everything is perfect, the house is very nice and clean and a good place to bathe on the beach

Todo perfecto, la casa muy bonita y limpia y un buen lugar para bañarse en la playa

Thank you, it was great. Would have loved if I didn’t have to be on the patio in order to use the wifi as I am traveling from out of the country and really rely on this amenity.

As the previous page. Janelle is fabulous. There are no " comforts of home.". . The wifi is under the Ranchero...outdoor livig space. .wifi not in the bedrooms ..outdoor living ..we needed bug spray ...a fan would have been appreciated. I felt there was no comfort. the property was run down. Not even a bath mat. It is remote ..yet not relaxing to us. we wanted to swim...please dont...too dangerous. The surf is loud and beautiful. The kitchen could have been so much cleaner ..even a fly zapper would be welcome

Nice house and really good communication with the owners.

Beautiful place in front of the beach, a wonderful sunset. The house is very clean, very organized. We went in winter time, so there was too much mosquito. It would have helped maybe to have something for the mosquitoes, but from there everything was very beautiful. Also, the way to get to the place was a little complicated, but in the end we were able to get there, so you can say that we had a very beautiful experience because the place is in a perfect place for a complete relaxation vacation

Hermoso lugar frente a la playa un atardecer maravilloso la casa muy limpia muy organizada fuimos en tiempo de invierno entonces había demasiado mosquito hubiera ayudado tal vez tener algo para los mosquito pero de ahí todo todo estuvo muy hermoso también la forma de llegar a lugar fue un poco complicada pero al final pudimos llegar entonces se puede decir que tuvimos una experiencia muy hermosa porque lugar está en un lugar perfecto para unas vacaciones relajación completa

The house is spectacular, it has a beautiful view of the beach. The rooms are large and the spaces are well thought out

La casa es espectacular, tiene una vista preciosa a la playa. Los cuartos son grandes y los espacios están bien pensados

Beautiful place amazing view. This place is just like the picture, wonderful place to spend time with your family, thanks Janelle

The view is very good, the rooms are quite comfortable.

La vista muy buena, los cuartos bastante cómodos.

Beautiful place with an amazing cabana area connected to the kitchen. Perfect for chilling out and watching/listening to the ocean just a few steps away

We really enjoyed our stay. The place is beautiful, and the view is amazing. Also Jenelle is an amazing host : she answers really quicky and is really understanding. 100% recommend!

Mar Azul is amazing. Pictures don't  enough justice the beauty of scenery. The rancho is huge and very airy great for taking a nap in the hammocks (which every member of my family did). The communication with the staff is extremely easy going, the response is usually within minutes.  Highly recommend it if all you want to do is relax and take a dip in the tide pools.
