Casa Luisa - Cottages for Rent in Santa Cruz, Rivas, Nicaragua

A wonderful stay in the cottage by the lake and close to natural areas. The cottage is small but very cute and pleasant. The hosts are available and very close. They made it easy for us to take a taxi from the port and to rent a motorcycle. The location in the middle of the island is ideal to avoid long journeys to sites such as Rio Itsiam or the San Ramon waterfall. I highly recommend it.

Un séjour magnifique dans la maisonnette au bord du lac et à deux pas des espaces naturels. La maisonnette est petite mais très mignonne et agréable. Les hôtes sont disponibles et très proches. Ils nous ont facilité les transports en taxi depuis le port et permis de louer une moto facilement. L’emplacement au milieu de l’île est idéale pour éviter de trop long trajets vers les sites comme le Rio itsiam ou la cascade San ramon. Je recommande vivement.

Loved the casa. It overlooks the beach and is walkable. Lake view on the front and volcano view on the side. A drinking water filter is available in the kitchen. It has a rustic cottage feel to it. The host arranged for a cab to pick us up at the port. A local bike rental has motos and scooters. The steps to get to second bedroom on upper floor are narrow but it is to be expected from a cottage house.

Really cool place right in front of the shore with view on both volcanoes. If you want to spend time on both side of the island, this is a great and convenient option.

Thank you very much Felix, we are glad you enjoyed your stay with us.

We stayed for 6 nights and this was a great place to base ourselves. The Airbnb has lake views and it was great sitting on the upstairs balcony or in the fully enclosed area downstairs.  We used the kitchen to prepare some meals and it had everything we needed.  There was hot water in the shower as well.  We slept in the upstairs bedroom (there was also a downstairs one) which was accessed via a steep staircase and it was lovely to leave the screened windows open to get a lovely breeze.  There was also a pedestal fan in each bedroom.  The hosts were very friendly and professional and helped us organise scooter rental and we were able to get laundry done at Casa Itiam next door.  We would definitely stay here again.

Lakeside accommodation, very clean and ideally located for all activities to do on the island! All amenities can be reached on foot. The staff and the host are very responsive and attentive to make your stay pleasant 🥰 a big thank you for your hospitality 🙏🏼

Logement au bord du lac, très propre et idéalement située pour toutes les activités à faire sur l’île ! Toutes les commodites peuvent se faire à pieds. Le personnel et l’hôte sont très réactives et aux petits soins pour rendre vos séjour agréables 🥰 un grand merci pour votre accueil 🙏🏼

We had a great time at Casa Luisa. The little house has everything you need to have a good time in Ometepe. There are shops and restaurants in the surrounding area. I recommend taking transportation or renting a motorcycle on the island to be able to access the most touristic places such as beaches or natural attractions.

La pasamos muy bien en Casa Luisa. La casita tiene todo para pasarla bien en Ometepe. En los alrededores hay tienditas y restaurantes. Recomiendo llevar transporte o rentar moto en la isla para poder acceder a los lugares más turísticos como playas o atractivos naturales.

Everything was great, from the communication in advance and during, super helpful, arranged a scooter directly for us, which was brought to us to the harbor. The accommodation was very simple, but very well designed for this area and is the only building with a balcony on the upper floor. Very good starting point for any tours on Ometepe.

Alles war super, von der Kommunikation vorab und währenddessen, super hilfsbereit, haben uns einen Roller direkt vermittelt, der uns zum Hafeb gebracht wurde. Die Unterkunft war zwar sehr einfach, aber für diese Gegend sehr gut gestaltet und ist das einzige Gebäude mit einem Balkon im oberen Stoxkwerk. Sehr guter Ausgangspunkt für jegliche Touren auf Ometepe.

As described. Accommodation opposite the beach. Perfect

Conforme à la description ! Logement en face de la plage. Parfait

A superbly located, beautiful and functional accommodation. Perfect for trips to Ojo de Agua, waterfall, volcano. Good supermarket within walking distance.

Eine super gelegene, schöne und funktionale Unterkunft. Perfekt für Trips nach Ojo der Aqua, Wasserfall, Vulkan. Guter Supermarkt in Laufweite.

Brilliant, relaxing place. The host is ultra responsive and really helped us with local knowledge. They even sourced what we think is the only child bicycle seat on the island. Nice bedrooms and a lovely sea breeze that cools the house with the windows open. Amazing views of both volcanoes from the second floor veranda area: perfect to view the semi-sunset beyond the Conception volcano. Great staff and a friendly host - thanks!

This house is a little paradise! Ometepe Island is beautiful, Santa Cruz is the perfect place to discover it. The beach is in front of the house, and from the balcony of the upstairs bedroom you can see the beach and the two volcanoes on each side. This house is totally adapted to its environment. Lots of openings, all with mosquito nets, make it very airy and it's never hot inside. There is a backup battery and a secondary lighting network that means that even in the event of a temporary power outage, there will always be lighting. The house is bigger than it appears in the photos. We were very comfortable with 4. There is a large convenience store with everything you need within a 5-minute walk, everything you need to cook. Lots of restaurants around. We chose to travel with the taxi offered by the host. Very friendly, available, they showed us the points of interest of the island in a beautiful day. Great!

Cette maison est un petit paradis ! L'île d'Ometepe est magnifique, Santa Cruz est l'endroit idéal pour la découvrir. La plage est en face de la maison, et du balcon de la chambre du haut vous pouvez voir la plage et les deux volcans de chaque côtés. Cette maison est totalement adaptée à son environnement. Beaucoup d'ouvertures, toutes avec des moustiquaires la rendent très aérée et il ne fait jamais chaud à l'intérieur. Il y a une batterie de secours et un réseau d'éclairage secondaire qui fait que même en cas de coupure temporaire d'électricité, il y aura toujours de l'éclairage. La maison est plus grande qu'elle ne paraît sur les photos. On était très à l'aise à 4. Il y a une grande supérette avec tout le nécessaire à 5 minutes à pied, tout le nécessaire pour cuisiner. Beaucoup de restaurants autour. Nous avons choisi de voyager avec le taxi proposé par l'hôte. Très sympathique, disponible, ils nous ont fait découvrir les points d'intérêts de l'île en une belle journée. Au top !

Muchas gracias por su valoración, nos encanta que hayas pasado un tiempo agradable en la isla con su familia y que todo haya sido de su agrado. Siempre estamos disponibles para ayudar a nuestros huéspedes para que tengan una experiencia inolvidable en nuestra bella isla.

The accommodation is located directly at the beach. Upstairs, it has a beautiful balcony with a hammock and beautiful views of the lake. The location was also just perfect - we will come back.

Die Unterkunft liegt direkt am Strand. Im oberen Stockwerk hat es einen schönen Balkon mit einer Hängematte und wunderschönen Blick auf den See. Auch die Lage war einfach perfekt - wir werden wieder kommen.

My partner and I had a wonderful time. The location is perfect, easy to get to grocery/atm or restaurants. Having a scooter made things easier but everything is also walkable. We were surprised to find how windy this side of the island gets, but it keeps the temperature cooler and easy to sleep in. Our private hostel was spacious and clean - and coming from the U.S. we found the price to be well worth it.

This cottage is nice, for a short stay in Ometepe, well located in the island with its rather central location.

Cette maisonnette est agréable, pour un petit séjour à Ometepe, bien situé dans l’île avec son emplacement plutôt central.

Beautiful little cottage, incredibly well located and run by the nicest people you’ll ever met.

Muchas Gracias de verdad nos encanta que la hayas pasado bien y esperamos poder verlos otra vez, siempre estamos a la orden 🫡

A really nice place to stay on ometepe, with beautiful views and conveniently located close to restaurants and amenities. For the price, would have expected a slightly more though, such as a means to clean the place, as there were no mops and brooms. The place is also quite small. Otherwise, a very nice place!

it fits the description. just be aware rhst the steps to the top bedroom are steep. almost like a ladder. but once you get up there, its nice. if you have any physical issues, use the downstairs bedroom. No AC but the breeze kicks in heavy around 7pm so you will sleep well.

Muchas gracias por tu valoración apreciamos que Casa Luisa haya sido de tu agrado

Our family loved Casa Istiam's bungalow! It was a super cute and unique place, with a covered patio, upper balcony, and garden. We easily made breakfasts in the full size kitchen (which included filtered water!), enjoyed the hot water shower, and used the strong fans and breeze to cool off. We loved the location, walking distance to many places to eat, Playa Santa Cruz beach (excellent for swimming or walking along), and centrally located on the island. The host was very helpful with arranging scooters, horse rides, and gave info on the local buses and spots. We felt safe and comfortable. I'd recommend ear plugs if you're a light sleeper, as there is construction nearby, but otherwise highly recommend staying here!

We loved our stay here. the patio out the front is a great place to hang out and because it has netting up, we didn't get disturbed by bugs. we had a beautiful view of the beach from the patio and upstairs. my boys loved it here and really enjoyed watching the mopeds go by. the kitchen had everything we needed and both bedrooms had a fan. we felt very safe here and all the people living and working close by were very friendly. if we come back to Omotepe, we'll be back here.

A lovely place with lovely house located across the street from the nicest part of Ometepe. It’s very quite and peaceful and the hosts are incredibly sweet! The beach at Playa Santa Cruz is absolutely stunning. The only thing to be aware of is this insane amount of bugs in the area! Other than that, WiFi worked well, and you can get food next door at the restaurant. Highly recommend

Excellent location! Cozy cabin with everything you need. Highly recommended.

Excelente ubicación! Cabaña acogedora y con todo lo que se ocupa. Muy recomendada.

A very pleasant experience, the house is very well equipped. Enough for four people. The location is great, there is the possibility to buy food in a store. The house was very clean and Mrs. Olga's communication and attention was very good. We felt right at home. 100% Recommended

Una muy placentera experiencia, la casa está muy bien equipada. Lo suficiente para cuatro personas. La ubicación es muy buena, hay posibilidad para comprar comida en una tienda. La casa estaba muy limpia y la comunicación y atención de doña Olga era muy buena. Nos sentimos como en casa. 100% Recomendado

Olga is a great woman as well as her whole team, it feels like home, always smiling and kindness a little bit like a mom 🙏 Thank you very much Olga, we will come back to see you for sure

Olga est une femme formidable ainsi que toute son équipe, on se sent comme a la maison, toujours le sourire et la gentillesse un peu comme une maman 🙏 Merci beaucoup Olga, nous reviendrons vous voir c'est sur

Muchas Gracias Julien estamos siempre a la orden Y estamos contentos de que ustedes hayan disfrutado su estadía en

The location of this apartment is near everything there is to do in Ometepe. There are walkable restaurants, Playa Santa Cruz, fruit stand, grocery store and many friendly locals. Do yourself a favor and rent a scooter, you will see much more of the island. Scooter rental is close by the apartment. The host, Olga (manager of the next door hotel) was always available and helped with many questions, reserved a taxi drive to the port and is full of free hugs! We stayed 5 nights and loved the location, lakefront view, the apartment is well protected and had awesome, natural ventilation. We also enjoyed a wonderful meal at the hotel. Price point for the space, peacefulness of the location with a sandy beach that is meters away, makes this place a gem! Gracias Olga por todo!!

Thank you - we enjoyed hosting you in our locally owned family Hotel Istiam on magical Ometepe Island! We look forward to your return for more adventures
