Beautiful beachfront condo, great views of the bay, close to restaurants & nightlife. The area was featured on the cover of Lonely Planet Nicaragua. If you like the nightlife, this condo is perfect. Great amenities: fully equipped kitchen, wireless internet, two balconies facing the ocean, etc. There will be additional fees for excessive electricity use. Please review information below before booking. The space Condo has tile throughout and is well decorated with local Nicaraguan art and pottery. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with a jacuzzi type tub. The unit has a safe where you can lock your valuables as well as a keyed closet one can use to lock larger items. There is security in the evenings. There is a laundry closet as well. Maid service upon request during your stay for an additional fee. Please note that the condo is located in a very popular area on the beach front so if you are looking for a peaceful, tranquil escape, our place is probably not your best option. Please read some of our reviews to get a better idea if this condo is right for you. We want to make sure you're happy with your decision to stay in our place. Besides the noise at night, it's a fantastic condo right on the beach and we do our best to make the place feel like a home. Please contact me first if you have any questions. Guest access Guests have access to the entire space. There is a locked armoire in the master bedroom closet which is off limits. There is also a utility hall closet which is kept locked. Other things to note Please be prepared to sometimes be without power. Nicaragua unfortunately has power outages. Also, many clients unfortunately have taken advantage of the fact that we didn't charge extra for electricity during their stay. I have been left with no other choice but to charge extra for excessive use of electricity, for example, running the air conditioner consistently. I price the unit low to be competitive but with electricity costs being so expensive and rising, I need to make sure all guest are energy conscious. The daily allowance will be 25 kilowatts per day and an extra charge, if applicable, will be accessed at the end of your stay. When checking out, you can leave the keys on the round 'dining room' table and then lock the door behind you as you leave.

## The Space

This beautiful beachfront condo offers stunning views of the bay and is conveniently close to restaurants and nightlife. The area was even featured on the cover of Lonely Planet Nicaragua. If you enjoy an active nightlife, this condo is an excellent choice.

The unit features tile flooring throughout and is tastefully decorated with local Nicaraguan art and pottery. It includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which has a jacuzzi-style tub. For your security, the condo has a safe for valuables and a keyed closet for locking larger items. Evening security is provided.

Additional amenities include a fully equipped kitchen, wireless internet, two balconies facing the ocean, and a laundry closet. Maid service is available upon request for an extra fee.

Please note that this condo is located in a lively beachfront area. If you prefer a quiet, peaceful retreat, this may not be the ideal option. We encourage you to read guest reviews to determine if this condo suits your preferences. Despite the nighttime noise, it is a wonderful beachfront home where we strive to make you feel comfortable.

## Guest Access

Guests have full access to the entire condo except for a locked armoire in the master bedroom closet and a locked utility hall closet.

## Other Information

Be prepared for occasional power outages, as they are common in Nicaragua. Due to previous guests’ excessive electricity use, an additional fee will apply for usage beyond the daily allowance of 25 kilowatt-hours. This charge will be calculated at the end of your stay. The unit is priced competitively, but rising electricity costs require guests to be mindful of their energy consumption, especially regarding air conditioning.

When checking out, please leave the keys on the round dining room table and lock the door behind you.

2BR condo in San Juan del Sur

Beach Front Condo El Torreon 3 San Juan del Sur - Apartments for Rent in San Juan del Sur, Departamento de Rivas, Nicaragua

Wonderful cozy property, great location and the best hosts! can't recommend enough.

Armando has to be one of the most responsive hosts I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. The location cannot be beat and the place really felt like home. Cannot wait to return!

For our first time in Nicaragua, we could not have asked for a better location with amazing views, people, and local community around—this place is incredible!

The view is gorgeous! We loved sitting out on the balcony and watching the sunsets. The house felt really spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and hope to come back.

Nice, large apartment with a great view. Several amenities within walking distance: restaurant, grocery store, convenience store. For an entire place, it's very good value for money. Armando is a really great host, friendly, responds quickly, and helps us when we need it.🙏🏽 My pros✨ - 🥇 Access to a well-maintained swimming pool - across the beach - Air conditioning in the bedrooms - washer/dryer - hot water in the shower Excellent✨ There is a jug of water provided, a real bonus! As the other reviews say, the rooms are indeed quiet, but there may be more noise on weekends, especially for the room closer to Rue des Restos. For those who really don't want any noise, perhaps avoid the weekend. I recommend it! Thanks Armando

Bel et grand appartement avec une vue magnifique. Plusieurs commodités à quelques pas; restaurant, épicerie, dépanneur. Pour un logement en entier, c’est un très bon rapport qualité prix. Armando est un très bon hôte, amical, répond vite et nous aide en cas de besoin🙏🏽 Mes positifs✨ - 🥇accès à une piscine bien entretenue - en face de la plage - air climatisé dans les chambres - laveuse/sécheuse - eau chaude dans la douche Extra✨ Il y a une cruche d’eau fournie, un plus vraiment apprécié! Comme le dise les autres commentaires, c’est effectivement tranquille dans les chambres mais il se peut qu’il y ait plus de bruit la fin de semaine, plus pour la chambre plus près de la rue des restos. Pour ceux qui ne veulent vraiment pas de bruit, peut être éviter la fin de semaine. Je recommande! Merci Armando

Amazing stay! Huge place with awesome views. Helpful host.

Very responsive host. Armando answered all questions quickly and was very friendly. The condo is in a busier area which occasionally gets a little rowdy but we expected that so no issues whatsoever. It's Nica baby! The condo suited our needs just fine and the location is awesome in that you can walk and get whatever you need or want. We had a great time!

The apartment is very spacious with a view of the sea. We were treated very kindly and well looked after. We arrived far too early, but we were allowed to drop off our luggage right away. A little noisy one evening because there was a party at the hostel next door, but it didn't bother us. I recommend it.

Die Wohnung ist sehr geräumig mit Blick auf das Meer. wir wurfen sehr freundlich und gut betreut. Wir waren viel zu früh, durften jedoch das Gepäck bereits deponieren. An einem Abend ein wenig laut, da im Hostel nebenan eine Party gefeiert wurde, störte jedoch nicht. Kann ich weiter empfehlen.

Great host. Very communicative and very helpful about getting around with suggestions

Very clean apartment, just like the photos, nice view of the bay, the host responds very quickly and is very attentive. A plus point is that if you arrive early, you can wait in the pool area. I would 100% come back again.

muy buena limpieza apartamento como las fotos, buena vista ala bahía, anfitrión responde muy rápido y esta muy atento punto bueno si llegas antes puedes esperar en el área de piscina , volvería otra vez 100%

Place is large and as advertised. Beautiful sunsets from two decks. Walking distance to everything. As others have mentioned because the location is in the heart of the beach strip it can be noisy Friday and Saturday nights as you can hear the live bands playing in the restaurants across the street. Overall a good recommendation.

Thank you for your feedback. Much appreciated.

We had a wonderful stay. We would recommend to anyone this place .

Armando was an awesome host and responds right away. The place is ocean front and has incredible views and walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, and the beach. I had so much fun and felt very safe! Please book your stay with Armando, you will not regret it! I plan on coming back and will definitely stay at this airbnb again! 🙌🏻

Nice spot right in town. Had issues with water but Armando was quick to have it sorted. Overall great place to stay in SJDS

Great place , walking distance from beach and good restaurants , definitely made me feel at home.

I would 1000% stay here again!  Awesome condo, host & location.  One thing to note is that the condo is laid out in a way that even when the night life and street are busy/noisy outside... The master bedroom is quiet... A nice feature if you are a light sleeper like I am.  Thank you Armando!

Everything was more than good - 100% recommended

In the heart of SJDS! beautiful apartment that actually is better than the photos look on airbnb. Very large space- 2 bedrooms, clean, right on the beach. Host was super responsive all the time. i even left something in the apartment and he helped me get it back ASAP. Super safe area and secure- you cannot go wrong. Would stay here again 100%.. Only downside was the Hot tub will take forever to fill, so i didn't really use that, nothing else was wrong.. I didnt see any hookers at all like mentioned previously in other reviews- and was absolutly delighted with this host and apartment

Love this place!!! Location in town in front of the beach is perfect a bit noisy on busier days but nothing too bad. I will def go back and stay here again. Very responsive host. Thank you.

The place is comfortable and in a good location. But with better maintenance in general, it would be ideal. Adding some amenities is also recommended.

El lugar está cómodo y buena ubicación. Pero con un mejor mantenimiento en general sería ideal. Agregar algunas amenidades también es recomendable.

We loved our stay! The condo was cleaned, well located just in front of the beach with lots of restaurants and stores close by. The arrival was clear and easy.

We really enjoyed our stay in SJDS. The apartment was wonderful. Perfect location, very spacious, lots of things to do in the area.

It was a wonderful location and the host was always responsive and friendly.

Great apartment with a panoramic view to the sea. I confirm the previous comment, even if the area is very lively on weekends: Music from the "Pachamama" youth hostel and live music from the "Vivian" restaurant, no noise in the rooms. The apartment is very well equipped for cooking. Armando helped us a lot to find our way to come and to reach our next step. Probably the best apartment in SJ del available on the site.

Super appartement avec une vue panoramique sur la mer. Je confirme le commentaire précédent, même si le coin est très animé le week-end : Musique de l'auberge de jeunesse "Pachamama" et musique live du restaurant " Vivian", aucun bruit dans les chambres. L'appartement est très bien équipé pour cuisiner. Armando nous a beaucoup aidé pour trouver notre chemin pour venir et pour rejoindre notre prochaine étape. Sans doute le meilleur appartement de SJ del sur disponible sur le site.

Noise. I remember someone left a review about Noise. This was our second time staying there. No noise on the first trip. This time was a weekend, there is a bar/disco just a few doors down. It is load but in your room you will hear nothing. If you want to visit it it was definitely full of energy. There were a few prostitutes soliciting business near it late at night, but hey, that is life. Just say no, or yes ;-). We were there with kids this time. It is safe and convenient. We will stay there again.

Thanks to Armando, he was nice, I’m grateful for the hospitality and he always understanding, great place ✨

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful beachfront apartment in San Juan del Sur! The views were breathtaking—waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunset from the balcony was pure magic. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was **exceptionally well-equipped** (a huge plus for us since we love cooking), and the modern amenities made our stay even more enjoyable. The AC worked perfectly, the Wi-Fi was fast, and the bed was super comfortable. The location couldn’t have been better—just steps from the beach, with easy access to restaurants, cafes, and the vibrant town of San Juan del Sur. Whether you want to relax by the ocean or explore the area, this is the perfect home base. The host was also fantastic—responsive, helpful, and provided great local recommendations. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. **Highly recommend**

Excellent location and the place is as described It is described.

Excelente ubicación y el lugar tal cual Está descrito.

Beautiful, well located apartment.  Spent a lot of time on the deck looking at the view.

Well located, matches the description and Armando is very responsive!

Bien placé, correspond à la description et Armando est très réactif!

Directly across the street from the beach, lots of restaurants and things to do.

We booked for 5 people and there were only two beds.

reservamos para 5 personas y solo habían dos camas.

Disculpen la confusión. En Airbnb solo se indican dos habitaciones, una con cama queen y la otra con cama matrimonial, pero teníamos dos camas inflables queen y una individual para su uso, y hay espacio de sobra para cinco personas. Les pido disculpas de nuevo.

Wonderful place to stay. Clean, safe, and a great location. Would highly recommend.

Excellent beachfront accommodation in San Juan del Sur. Armando was in contact all the time, a super host. Everything was perfect. I'll always come back

excelente alojamiento frente a la playa san juan del sur. Armando estubo en contacto todo el tiempo un super anfitrion. perfecto todo. siempre volvere

This is the perfect place to stay in San Juan del Sur! The condo is comfortable, well equipped, and has beautiful views. San Juan del Sur is a very walkable town and El Torreon's location can't be beat, so close to restaurants, bars and right across the street from the beach.  Armando's communication was excellent and Alba was so gracious to stay later to check us in when we were delayed. Highly recommended!

Armando was an amazing host. All questions were dealt with in a timely manner. What a fabulous location and San Juan del Sur is a hidden gem!

Armando is a great host,  very responsive and helpful. his place was perfect for us. very walkable to everything

I am very thankful that he was very flexible with the check in and very responsive every time I messaged him. His place is amazing. Even though I didn't meet him in person he was always on top of the game as well as Alba his administrative assistant. Thanks Armando and Alba. Thank you very much Armando for being flexible with check-in and for responding to my messages quickly and effectively. Your apartment over step our expectations is very nice, clean. Facing the sea and close to everything and with all the amenities you need. It was like being at home. Thank you and Alba your administrator.

I am very thankful that he was very flexible with the check in and very responsive every time I messaged him. His place is amazing. Even though I didn’t meet him in person he was always on top of the game as well as Alba his administrative assistant. Thanks Armando and Alba. Muchas gracias Armando por ser flexible con el check in y por responder a mis mensajes de una forma rápida y eficaz su apartamento sobre paso nuestras expectativas es muy bonito,limpio.frente al mar y cerca de todo y con todas las comodidades que uno necesita. Fue como estar en casa. Muchas gracias a usted y a Alba su administradora.

Perfect location. Responsive host. When I visit San Juan del Sur again I plan on staying here. The only negative is the WiFi. The place really needs a new router. If you have a laptop you can plug into the modem but the WiFi is problematic. Outside of that you cannot beat the views & beach access. The place is charming and worth every penny.

Perfect location for anything to do in San Juan

Recommend without reservation. Great location, great food, clean and inviting

Armando is a fantastic house. I'd highly recommend staying at this location. The stay is in a great location with amazing views and a lot to do. The inside of the apartment is very spacious. Finally, Armando was extremely accommodating and helpful. We couldn't be happier with our stay.

We immensely enjoyed our visit and would recommend it to any person looking for a waterfront place in SJDS.  The two balconies were a definite bonus!!

We had a great stay at Armando’s house at the beach. It’s right at the beach and the apartment was beautiful with a nice balcony overlooking the sea and the lively street in front. The issues we had Armando solved very quickly and he was very friendly.

Everything great, great location, restaurants and activities nearby. Walking distance. We only spent one night but it was worth it. Alba and Armando were always available and responded promptly. We left the car in front of the building without problems. Although if I recommend not to leave anything inside it, to avoid incidents.

Todo excelente, muy buena ubicación, restaurantes y actividades cerca. Distancia a pie. Pasamos solamente una noche pero lo valió. Alba y Armando siempre estuvieron disponibles y respondían enseguida. El auto lo dejamos frente del edificio sin problemas. Aunque si recomiendo no dejar nada dentro del mismo, para evitar incidentes.

I will definitely stay there again. It was beautiful furnished and clean. Our stay was perfect

Very good place, many establishments nearby for shopping.

Muy buen lugar, muchos establecimientos cercanos para realizar compras.

Armando’s place is beautiful, well located, comfortable, and functional. Thanks a lot 🤙🏽

amazing condo in SJDS this is my second time staying at Armando's place. I will definitely keep going as long as I'm traveling to SJDS. 10/10

Very friendly attentive to my needs and everything is very accurate, cleanliness and everything conditioning is definitely recommended. I will return

Muy amable atento a mis necesidades y todo muy preciso limpieza y todo acondicionado sin duda recomendable volveré

Had a wonderful visit to San Juan del sur. Armando was great and gave good tips for the area. The beds were comfortable, the internet was fast, really fond nothing to complain about. The apartment had everything we need. We would love to stay there again.

Armando's condo is a pleasant place to stay in the heart of San Juan Del Sur. We had a beautiful beach view under a covered patio. Being in the heart of SJDS was amazing, as we could walk to several restaurants and bars, or enjoy local shopping. I highly reccommend Armando's place.

Nice place! Host was nice. Master bed was slightly uncomfortable. One thing I didn't like was they limit you on the AC usage. It was really hot during the day! At night no problems really cold AC. Elevator doesn't work so if you have a suite case you will have to carry it up several stairs The pool area needs some work the grass needs cut and maintained before guest arrive. It was really long These where my only complaint other then that this place is very nice and in a good location and host was super responsive and nice

Hi John, Thank you so much for your feedback. My apologies for the grass being too long. We’re in between caretakers so it’s been difficult to keep the pool area maintained as usual but that’s no excuse. As far as the electricity, we don’t limit your usage more than ask guests to be mindful of one’s usage. Electricity is super expensive in Nicaragua but with normal use, it’s rare that we have had to charge extra. The few times guests have gone over our daily kilowatt allowance, it’s has never exceeded $20. So I am sorry if there was confusion regarding our electricity policy, I will try to be crystal clear for future guests. Last but not least, we just purchased the bed that’s in the master bedroom. I haven’t received any complaints about it but I know everyone has different tastes in how hard or how soft they want the mattress. Perhaps we’ll add a foam topper like we just did in the smaller bedroom. Again, I appreciate your feedback because I want to make sure guests truly enjoy their stay.

We've stayed here three times now and it's one of our favorites in SJDS.  Armando is great and his place is super comfortable.  The location can't be beat, and is perfect for when we don't want to rent a car.

Great location and very clean! Walking distance from beach and restaurant. Armando was very responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

The apartment is super close to the beach and restaurant. It is already the second day that is rented and I would definitely do it again.

El apartamento está súper cerca de la playa y restaurante. Ya es la segunda ves que se renta y sin duda alguna lo volvería hacer .

This place is near everything in San Juan del Sur! Very active area across from the beach, with so many great restaurants and shops nearby. Comfortable bed, and the condo is so big! It would be great for small families. Pool and barbecue in the back. Very secure, and family-operated Pronto market right across the street with ATM. Armando or Alba are always easy to contact if you need anything during your stay. Armando is a wonderful host who really connects with the guest to make them feel welcome!! I look forward to booking this property again!!!

Loved it. Perfect location. Overlooking the ocean. Clean and spacious.

Armando’s place is great - it’s located right in town and on the beach, making it very easy to get around. The space is very clean and spacious, and I would recommend to anyone planning a trip to San Juan del sur.

El Torreón ! An extraordinary place for a pleasant weekend with the wonderful view of the beach of San Juan del Sur. The best location ! The apartment is very comfortable, very modern. Well equipped. We felt right at home . 🏠 I would definitely come back again .

El Torreón ! Un lugar extraordinario para pasar un fin de semana agradable con la maravillosa vista de la playa de San Juan del sur. La mejor ubicación ! El apartamento muy cómodo, muy moderno. Bien equipado. Nos sentimos como en casa . 🏠 definitivamente regresaría nuevamente .

Perfect location in the center Large and very nice apartment. Armando super responsive I recommend

Emplacement parfait en plein centre Appartement grand et très agréable Armando super réactif Je recommande

Overall very good place and location, Armando always with good disposition and good communication.

En general muy bueno el lugar y la ubicación, Armando siempre con buena disposición y buena comunicación.

Gracias por tus comentarios. Lo compartiré con Alba.

Awesome place! The self check-in is an awesome idea :)

Lamento Alex que no hayamos brindado un servicio de 5 estrellas. Háganos saber qué podemos hacer mejor. Agradecemos sus comentarios.

Beautiful view, stocked kitchen, responsive host - couldn’t ask for anything more. Remote worked here for a week and it was perfect.

This place I advise you 100% is not for anything that is our second day at this place. It's almost like feeling at home. Thank you Armando for all!

Este lugar se los aconsejo al 100% no es por nada que es nuestra segunda ves en este lugar. Es casi como sentirse en casa. Gracias Armando por todo!

Beautiful place super central and close to the ocean and everything in town, Armando was very responsive when I messaged him aswell

Loved it for a quick stop heading down to Costa Rica! Comfy beds, good AC!

Armando was such a great host. Super helpful and quick to respond. Shared local places to eat and helped arrange travel out of town. Look forward to going back soon… The apartment was clean and had everything one could need. The balcony overlooking the beach was amazing…

Beautiful place and lots of places to enjoy around

I recommend a great place to visit and enjoy your vacations

Se los recomiendo un excelente lugar a visitar y gozar de tus vacaciones

Thanks Armando, for being such a great host and keeping in touch with us. We had a great time. We’ll be back again.

Great location! I found it to be a quiet space in a beautiful location!

it's very nice clean and has a very nice view and Armando this slope and it's nice

es muy bonito aseado y tiene una muy linda vista y Armando esta pendiente y es agradable

This was our second time staying with Armando and we'll be back!

Great location and super clean Armando was very accommodating. Would absolutely stay here again

fantastic place right across from the beach with great views. spacious and comfortable apartment with excellent facilities and an easy check in process. thank you Armando.

Great bargain for beach front and pool. The home was nicely done and we felt secure. We only used air conditioning for sleeping, the coastal breeze kept us comfortable during the day. We appreciated having some beach towels, and other minor items that saved us time and money. would definitely stay again.

This the perfect place for someone that wants easy access to everything San Juan Del Sur has to offer. Safe, close to everything and clean. I really enjoyed my stay and would stay here again if I return.

Very spacious apartment and super convenient to everything.  We enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed our stay at Armando's.  It was close to the language school we were attending. The apartment itself was great.  It was clean, great layout, good WIFI. It is about 50 yards from the beach. Beginning Thursday night through Sunday night, it was a little noisy due to the nearby bars, until about 3:00 am.  It wasn't enough to prevent sleep, but noticeable. The hostest, Alba and the night staff, Denis, were outstanding.  They went out of their way to accomodate us. The only issue was the pool, which had a dusty film on it much of the time due to the poor circulation of the pool filter.  a large part of the pool doesn't get filtered much due to the L-shaped layout.  Other than that, we really enjoyed the time there & we would stay there again.

Thank you again for your feedback. I will be working on the pool by adding a timer for the pump/filter, decorative lighting and a barbecue for guests to use. As far as the noise, I have always tried to be upfront and it is the noise factor is clearly detailed in the listing. The noise as actually gotten much better as there use to be a night club next door but fortunately, they went out of business. Anyone reading this response, please note that if you are looking for total peace and quiet, our location is most likely not the place for you, especially on the weekends as the condo is located in the heart of the popular beachfront area.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at an incredible Airbnb property and I must say, it exceeded all of my expectations! The location was perfect and centrally located. But what made this Airbnb experience truly special was the incredible hospitality of the hosts. From the moment I arrived, they went out of their way to make sure that I had everything I need. Overall, my experience at this Airbnb was simply amazing.

Je conseillerai à tous ceux qui viendront à san juan

The accommodation was very clean and tidy, Alba welcomed us very well and we were able to check in a few hours earlier because it had no reservations from days before, the only bad thing to note is that the jacuzzi does not work and that had not been told to us before and the pool was a little dirty the rest was phenomenal, thank you Armando and Alba for your special attention

El alojamiento muy limpio y ordenado, Alba nos recibió muy bien y pudimos entrar unas hora antes porque no tenía reservas de días antes, lo único malo a destacar es que el jacuzzi no funciona y eso no nos lo habían dicho antes y la piscina estaba un poco sucia, el resto fue fenomenal, gracias Armando y Alba por vuestra atención tan especial

Wonderful place to say in San Juan. Perfect location. Would definitely recommend staying here!

The location of the place is excellent, what I left to wish for was the cleanliness of the kitchen

La ubicación del lugar es excelente, lo que dejo a desear fue la limpieza de la cocina
