2BR colonial house in San Juan del Sur

Spanish Colonial style Casa with gorgeous views - Houses for Rent in San Juan del Sur, Rivas, Nicaragua

This place was nice, great view, just a bit Hard to walk up the hill but overall amazing spot.

This was my first visit to San Juan del Sur and I loved my experience! Rakel is extremely responsive and helpful. Not only is the home beautiful, but the ocean/sunset view is 100% worth it! Obviously it’s at the top of the hill so the walk back up at the end of the night is an experience but the fact that it’s walkable into the town, if that’s your thing, it’s amazing. We loved Sabores de mi Patio for dinner and Tuani’s Restó Bar for lunch. Driveable to one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to- Playa Hermosa. We loved our stay and our visit to San Juan del Sur!

This place is beautiful , very quiet, comfortable and has all the amenities you need for your vacations!

Please be mindful of the stairs required to get to this place. Otherwise it is beautiful and absolutely worth it!

The place was beautiful and had amazing view of the beach! I would stay here again.

Beautiful view from the house had everything we needed and was extremely close to everywhere we wanted to go! The pools were amazing and felt amazing loved the stay would definitely come back.

We’ve toured over five cities and stayed at five separate homes during our trip. This was our favorite location. The views are incredible, it’s so peaceful and quiet. We felt safe and secure at this location. I recommend Rakel and her place to everyone visiting Nicaragua, this will make you come back and leave a memorable vacation for your family.

We had a great time and enjoyed the cats.  What a beautiful location!

This place had breathtaking views, it was in a very secure, private neighborhood. IT was close enough to the city, but far enough away to not hear any of the past life. The house was beautiful and clean. The host very friendly and helpful. We loved everything about this place.

We loved our stay so much that we decided to stay an extra day! The place is clean, the directions to get there were clear, and it's just a short walk to the city. It's a very nice place that's well worth it!

Nous avons tellement adoré notre séjour que nous avons décidé de rester une journée de plus! L’endroit est propre, les instructions pour se rendre étaient claire et à seulement une petite marche de la ville. C’est un très beau logement qui en vaut amplement la peine!

Beautiful apartment on the heights of SJDS. Beautiful pools (shared with the other houses in the area) with a very beautiful view. Small bar and restaurant (expensive) nearby. Clean, spacious, and comfortable. Some cats on the balcony. Nice smart TV if you want to watch a movie in the evening. A few minor comments: the Wi-Fi only worked in the living room, and access to the city on foot takes 15 minutes, with sections on an unpaved and unlit road.

Appartement splendide sur les hauteurs de SJDS. Belles piscines (partagées avec les autres maisons des alentours) avec une très belle vue. Petit bar et resto (cher) à proximité. Propre, spacieux et confortable. Quelques chats sur le balcon. Belle TV connectée si vous voulez cous regarder un film le soir. Rares petites remarques: le wifi ne fonctionnait que dans le salon et l’accès à la ville à pied est à 15mn, avec des sections dans une route non bitumée et non éclairée.

The accommodation was nice and stylish. It's just very difficult there in a hot environment without a car… The city is about a 10-15 minute walk, 5 minutes by car. The pools are a 5-minute walk away on the premises. We were surprised that the restaurant and pool bar are only open on weekends. The air conditioning is only in the bedrooms; it was hard to endure in the living room and kitchen during the day.

Ubytování bylo pěkné, stylové. Jen je to tam v parném prostředí bez auta hodně těžké… Město je asi 10-15minut cesty pěšky, 5min autem. Bazény jsou 5min pěšky v areálu. Překvapilo nás, že restaurace a bar u bazénu funguje jen o víkendu. Klimatizace je jen v ložnicích, v obýváku s kuchyni přes den bylo těžké vydržet.

The place was incredibly spacious and clean. Perfect place to stay when visiting San Juan del Sur!

Rakel was an incredible host - so responsive, welcoming, and thoughtful throughout our stay. Her home is absolutely lovely: spacious, well-kept, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. You can tell a lot of care goes into making guests feel comfortable. The location was great - about a 15-minute walk downhill to the beachfront (or just a quick 5-minute drive). The elevated setting also made it feel really peaceful and private, which we loved. Overall, a wonderful experience and I’d absolutely recommend staying here!

The photos didn't do the house justice. Beautiful inside and out and the local cats add to the charm :)

It was a great place to spend 2 days! The view is amazing that the place offers! Had all amenities. Definitely recommend the place!

beautiful home ,wonderful location and spectacular pool views. Some confusion on how to get to house after passing guard but thankfully Rakel responded fast and resolved quickly

Casa Iguana Morada is gorgeous! We had a lovely stay in San Juan del Sur. We appreciated the location up on a hill, because it was very peaceful (the town of SJDS booms with loud music at night) and the views were incredible. Sunsets were immaculate and we enjoyed them from the 3 balconies and infinity pools. The 3 beds were comfortable, bathrooms and architecture were beautiful, and the house was very spacious. Rakel was a great host and Luz Marina was very kind and thorough in her housekeeping. FYI, We rented a car and found it easy to park in front of the Casa and use it to go into town and nearby beaches. We actually didn’t walk into town even though it’s just about 15-20 minutes. We highly recommend staying at Casa Iguana Morada and would stay again!

An excellent choice; the house is in a very good location, has incredible views, and is spacious.

Excelente opción, la casa cuenta con muy buena ubicación, vistas increíbles, y espaciosa.

Great place, nice stay. Raquel’s house is a beautiful Spanish colonial. I highly recommend this property for a lovely stay in San Juan Del Sur

We, my wife and I and our 2 kids (4&6) stayed at the house for 2,5 weeks. We loved it! We loved sitting on the balcony overlooking the beautiful bay and watching the sun set. We loved the beauty and space of the house itself. The kids loved the pools and the other kids around. San Juan itself is a cute village with great restaurants and bars and there is lots to do around San Juan. We would love to come back one day!

We loved the house, Rakel is a great hostess

The house was in a quiet neighborhood, communication was great. Thanks for the nice time.

Das Haus lag in einer ruhigen Gegend, die Kommunikation war top. Danke für die gute Zeit.

This house is really amazing, the view the area everything is quiet the house is big and clean there is everything you need It's nicer than the pictures The only problem is it's complicated to get to the accommodation from the center on foot, if you have a car then there's no problem.

Cette maison est incroyable vraiment, la vue le domaine tout es tranquille la maison et grande et propre y'a tout ce qu'île faut C'est plus beau que sur les photos Seul problème c'est compliqué à y accéder au logement depuis le centre à pied si vous êtes en voiture alors y'a pas de problème

The place is much, much nicer than the photos, it is super close to the boardwalk and many places to visit. If I return, I would not hesitate to choose this place again because it is definitely super nice. Thank you Rakel for always being attentive to my inquiries.

El lugar es mucho pero mucho más lindo que en las fotos, queda súper cerca del malecón y de muchos lugares que visitar, Si regreso no dudaría en volver a elegir este lugar por qué es definitivamente súper lindo. Gracias Rakel por siempre estar atenta a mis consultas.

Excellent accommodation, well located and with spectacular views. Very nice.

Excelente alojamiento, bien situado y con espectaculares vistas. Muy agradable.

We really enjoyed our stay here and found it great value for the price. If you plan on spending a lot of time in town it's worthwhile to have a vehicle but the views are spectacular and being a little out of town has it's advantages when the music gets loud. Rakel was also very quick to respond to any questions we had and we would defintely stay here again.

The house is very nice, comfortable, clean and the views of the bay are spectacular.

La casa es muy bonita, cómoda, limpia y las vistas a la bahía son espectaculares.

The photos make no justice to the property. It's more beautiful than what the photos show and the views are amazing. She is a great host and the instructions are clear. The pool is probable around 10 minutes walk from the house but you can go in your vehicle and you'll be there in a couple of minutes (that is what we did). There's nothing about this stay that I can complain about, everything was perfect! And the access is easy; you don't really need a 4x4. I strongly recommend staying here!

This home in San Juan del Sur was excellent. I was mostly out but when I was there I felt at home. I highly recommend. I enjoyed my stay very much. Thanks again.

I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb in Nicaragua! The space was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The location was perfect, close to local attractions, restaurants, and the beach, yet still quiet enough to relax. The host was incredibly kind and responsive, always making sure I had everything I needed. I especially appreciated the little touches, like fresh towels, local recommendations, and a warm welcome. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Nicaragua!

Great spot with awesome views. It is an upstairs and downstairs so keep that in mind if you have small kids.

I thank thousands for their support at all times to Airbnb and Rakel, my host was 100%, and I would definitely go back to this place!

Agradezco miles su apoyo en todo momento a Airbnb y a Rakel mi anfitriona se portó al 100%, y pues definitivamente volvería a este lugar!

Loved this spot! The balcony and the view are incredible! The house is very comfortable and clean. The walk into down is nice and short only takes about 10 minutes! We really enjoyed our stay, and can’t recommend it enough!

Rakel’s place was absolutely beautiful! My family and I loved staying here, it’s far enough to have a quiet night but close enough to make it a short drive/easy walk to the bustling town. The place itself was well stocked with the necessities needed, well organized and cleaned, and the view from all balconies were beautiful. The A/C works great to keep the rooms cool during the night. The pool is a short walk away, and it was well cleaned and maintained. Rakel was easy to communicate with and she answered promptly. We’ll definitely be booking her place next time we come!

Beautiful house, very well equipped, private and if you like to walk, it's what you're looking for

Hermosa casa, muy bien equipada, privada y si le gusta caminar es lo que está buscando

Quiet with good security, nice views, high ceilings, very comfortable beds. Walkways can get very dark at night. Do not go out without a flashlight. It’s a little walk up to the pools, which are definitely worth a visit. No AC on the top floor, which got pretty warm. I think it was a great value for the accommodations. Cleaning lady came three times in a week. I would definitely stay again. Thanks Rakel

Rakel's home is in a great location. The pool is huge and we always had it all to ourselves. Luz did an amazing job cleaning for us. Rakel always answered any questions immediately.

Beautiful layout. Very spacious. Great view of San Juan del Sur beach. Less than a 5 minute drive to the center of town. Would most definitely return. Rakel was very quick to respond to our messages. Thank you for all the great recommendations. Thank you Luz for your cleaning services.
