Villa Madrono | Pool | City center | Full equiped - Vacation homes for Rent in San Juan del Sur, Rivas, Nicaragua

Lovely space. We really enjoyed everything about the place. Had a lot of great details throughout the place that felt unique to the area. The back covered patio was perfect for relaxing outside anytime of the day. We cooked breakfast both days and the kitchen was stocked with everything you’de need. The only thing worth mentioning, and perhaps we missed this in the description, is the upstairs is a loft. There isn’t a door dividing the two beds. For us this wasn’t an issue, but if you needed privacy this may not be ideal for you. If you only need two beds then this is easily accomplished with someone in the downstairs room and another upstairs in the loft. We would definitely come back

I loved it. Beautiful place, centrally located and safe, excellently equipped. I would come back.

Me encantó, bello el lugar,  céntrico y seguro, excelente equipada, volvería

Excellent place. Very comfortable little house, with a great view, close to the pools and entrances. Centrally located in the city. Highly recommended.

Excelente lugar. Casita muy comoda, con gran vista, cerca de las piscina y entradas. Centrico de la ciudad. Muy recomendado.

Bastions place was amazing I would definitely return and stay a month of views are incredible pictures. Do not do the place justice. Highly recommend.

we loved our stay at Bastien's place. The view from the deck was definitely the highlight. Beautiful views and far enough from the center that noise was never an issue. The two infinity pools were amazing and like everything else, very clean. The security gave you piece of mind. We had a car and I recommend you also have one as the walk to his place is quite steep but not impossible if you are fit. We had a very relaxing time at this property and hope to be back next year.

Bastien's house is just as shown in the ad. The location of the house near the pool and restaurant is a plus if you want to use the social area or eat there. Communication was always fluid, and the fact that it's pet friendly is a plus. Highly recommended.

La casa de Bastien cumple con lo que muestra el anuncio , la ubicación de la casa cerca de la piscina y restaurante es un plus si quieres usar el área social o comer ahí , la comunicación siempre estuvo fluida ,  y el que sea pet friendly es más que recomendada .

Our stay at Bastien's house was very good! It has everything you need to feel comfortable, clean and tidy spaces in the house, nice beds with clean sheets. The terrace has a nice view. A very good thing is that the pool is very close and is very nice with a spectacular view of the bay of San Juan del Sur. They opened a restaurant next to the pool and it really is a plus We will definitely come back to Bastien's

Nuestra estadía en casa de Bastien fue muy buena ! Tiene lo necesario para sentirnos cómodos, espacios de la casa limpios y ordenados , camas agradables con sábanas limpias. La terraza tiene una bonita vista. Algo muy bueno es que la piscina queda muy muy cerca y es muy linda con una vista espectacular de la bahia de San Juan del Sur. Abrieron restaurante adyacente a la piscina y de verdad es un plus Regresaremos donde Bastien sin dudarlo

A lovely break . The house matched the description and it was an easy check in. Two lovely swimming pools in the complex . I would recommend this place.

Very nice condo and pleasant environment. Date error where Sébastien had to offer us something else but with the discount and the quality of the accommodation offered in exchange, we have no complaints Thanks again

Très joli condo et environnement agréable. Erreur de date où Sébastien a dû nous proposer autre chose mais avec la réduction et la qualité du logement offert en échange, nous n’avons rien à redire Encore merci

few bathrooms for the 3 rooms they have. only one

poco baños para los 3 cuartos q tienen. solamente uno

BOOK THIS ONE! This place exceeded our expectations and looks even better than the photos. We ended up extending our trip because we loved it so much and Bastian was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. We visited with our two young kids and it was perfect. Lots of games and books for kids. Kitchen is great for cooking. The views are spectacular. We felt right at home. The location is great for getting in and out of town. The pool is worth it alone. We will definitely be back and recommending to others.

The place was amazing the view was magical and felt secure and comfortable to go with or without kids.

Beautiful home with incredible view. Safe and secure. Great communication with host. Highly recommend!

Nice view, and good location of the house, we will return

Linda vista, y buena ubicación de la casa, volveremos

The pool is gorgeous, the view was incredible. We absolutely loved the home and would absolutely stay again. The only negative was there seems to be some issues with communication amongst security and within the complex. Walking into town we were told to use the stairs by one security guard, then coming back we were told we were not allowed to come back up the stairs and had to take the road. This happened more than once. It was confusing and should be rectified (not the hosts fault)

Great place. Exceeded our expectations. View from private deck was fantastic. Kitchen well stocked. Bastion was responsive to request and brought fruit and salt and sugar upon our arrival. There were a handful of condiments in the kitchen that had been sorted and were not expired. Pool was great with beautiful view. Air conditioner in master bedroom works great. It is a long walk up the hill, but very doable. You will work up a little bit of a sweat. Currently you have to walk on the road because the stairwell that cuts down straight into town is not accessible because it is guarded by another association.But the walk is not that big of a deal.

Our stay at this Airbnb was fantastic! The property was spotlessly clean and offered stunning views of the Bay of San Juan del Sur. The infinity pool, overlooking the ocean, was a perfect relaxation spot. We felt completely at ease, thanks to the robust security around the property. Highly recommend this place for a serene getaway with breathtaking vistas!

I had a fantastic stay at Bastien’s! The space was clean, spacious, and very comfortable.. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked with everything I needed, which made cooking easy. The location was also great— all of the restaurants in SJDS are just down the hill. One of the highlights was definitely the view; it was absolutely beautiful and added a special touch to the whole experience. I’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-equipped place to stay.

What a beautiful villa & complex! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had everything we needed & more (the kitchen is very well equipped). The view is directly across the bay & the town - it was lovely to sit outside in the evening on the veranda with a drink, looking out over the bay. The rest of the complex was very quiet whilst we were there, so we had the pools to ourselves most of the time! We had an issue with the WiFi, but it was resolved quickly when an engineer was sent over. I would certainly consider returning to this accommodation.

Highly recommended, it is just as it appears in the images and even better

Super recomendado, es tal cual aparece en las imágenes e incluso mejor

Very pretty and nice places. I would suggest that they have more towels, some for the pool and more for the shower. The coffee maker needs to be changed. Bastien brought us an espresso machine immediately, but it's good that they have a coffee maker that works well. But the place in general is very well equipped, and it's beautiful. We would definitely come back !!!

Very pretty and nice places . Sugeriria que tengan más toallas unas para piscina y mas para ducha . El coffee maker deben cambiarlo , Bastien nos trajo una maquina de expresso inmediatamente , pero si es bueno que tengan un coffee maker que sirva bien . Pero el lugar en general esta muy bien equipado , y es hermoso definitivamente volveriamos !!!

Beautiful home, pools and great view of the bay with the sunset every night. We used the  BBQ every day to cook Nicaraguas delicious steaks. Bastien is a good host and recommend his house to others.

Amazing place!! Beautiful views and amazing security. I Recommend this place 100% each time!

Bastien's villa is as described. The view of San Juan Bay is very nice. It is a nice place to have breakfast with the family. Spacious and clean rooms. Spacious kitchen too. I would go back to stay with Bastien.

La villa de Bastien es a como se describe . La vista de la bahia de San Juan es muy linda es un lugar agradable para desayunar en familia. Cuartos amplios y limpios. Cocina amplia también. Regresaria a quedarme donde Bastien.

We loved staying here! Incredibly unique architecture, gorgeous luxury/ organic style home. Super clean, AC worked well, and the several flights of stairs to town were a great 10 minute way to get the blood flowing. the pools were also gorgeous. highly recommend!!

I’ve traveled around the world, and this is one of the most beautiful properties I’ve ever stayed in. The views were spectacular, I could sit on the porch and watch the monkeys play, and the inside was adorable. I will most definitely be staying again in the future.

It was perfect! Beautiful Airbnb! Would definitely come again.

We were absolutely blown away by the villa, the location, the pool, THE VIEW! We had the most fantastic week and never wanted to leave. The villa is so well equipped we felt right at home. Bastien is so great and the sweetest host. You will not regret staying here. Can't wait to be back.

Beautiful house and a great stay and host !

Fantástico lugar. Totalmente recomendable.

Very nice view of the Bay of San Juan, very close to the city center on the heights. A very well equipped and very well kept house with a large shaded and airy terrace. We enjoyed  the 25-meter pool right next door and the beautiful beaches. Bastien is an available host, responsive, friendly and good advice.

Très belle vue sur la baie de San Juan, très proche du centre ville sur les hauteurs. Une maison très bien équipée et très bien tenue avec une grande terrasse ombragée et aérée. Nous avons bien profité  de la piscine de 25 mètres juste à côté et des magnifiques plages. Bastien est une hôte disponible, réactif, sympathique et de bon conseil.

Wow! Amazing place! Outstanding view of San Juan del sur the statue of Jesus and the best sunsets you could ask for! The infinity pool looks right at the sunset as well! Inside is spacious up to date with a complete kitchen for cooking meal while overlooking the bay! Quiet space with friendly security guards! You couldn’t ask for much more with close proximity to the beach local restaurants markets and fresh fruit along the streets! Don’t hesitate to rent this place! You’ll be lucky if it’s available!

Beautiful community overlooking San Juan del Sur. The home is spacious and has amazing views  of the ocean and city. Would stay again. The community name is Pelican Eyes. The way into the community was a little hard to find but we got there at night. The infinite pool view was very nice. Def recommend 4x4 vehicle.

Thank you Bastien for everything!! , you are a super host !  I must say this was the perfect stay, such a peaceful house with the perfect ocean view. Everything was clean, lovely kitchen and such a nice balcony where you can enjoy reading a book or simply enjoying an amazing cup of Nicaraguan coffee.

The place was exactly as described. The sunsets were amazing from the comfort of the back porch. The house was clean. We enjoyed the pool. Security did a nice job in making us feel safe and watched over. There were 2 small issues and so, on our second night, as I lay down for sleep late in the evening, I sent email to Bastien about the 2 issues, figuring that we would hear from him the next day. 6 minutes later. 6 minutes later, there was a knock at the front door. There he was to correct the issues. I've never stayed anywhere where the owner was that responsive. If you are planning a trip to SJdS? And this unit is available? DO NOT HESITATE. Grab it. We will be back.

We had a great stay! We were here for more than 5 weeks and loved it. The views are exceptional and quiet. Bastien offers a great service and has been very proactive in handling small issues and our requests. Thanks for the place and service!

On a passé un super séjour! Nous étions ici plus de 5 semaines et avons adoré. La vue est exceptionnelle et c’est tranquille. Bastien offre un super service et a été très proactif pour gérer les petits problèmes et nos demandes. Merci pour l’endroit et service!

The place is beautiful and the views are on another level, the house is cozy spacious and located next to the pool

El lugar es hermoso y las vistas son de otro nivel, la casa es acogedora espaciosa y ubicada al lado de la piscina

Everything is very good at Bastien's place, exactly as shown in all the photos, a serious recommendation that at night they place more lighting on the way from the parking lot to the house.

Todo es muy bueno en el alojamiento de Bastien, corresponde exacto a todas las fotos, una recomendación seria que en las noches coloquen más iluminación en el camino del estacionamiento a la casa.

Gorgeous space! Great service. We loved the view of the ocean. Very close to town.

Bastien was a wonderful host. I had to contact him several times concerning a water issue and he was always available and attentive. I have always loved Pelican Eyes and have stayed in the development many times at various units. His location is very private and quiet. I hated that I had to move to a different rental due to a water issue because his unit and location was so wonderful. I highly recommend staying at his place. He is a wonderful host and his pricing is very fair. Plus you are close to the pool which is really nice and convenient.

The partial view of the bay is incredible, although the bushes that block the full view should be cut. The house is in very good condition, clean, comfortable and quiet. Common areas (restaurants or gardens) are closed or abandoned. Near the house there is a swimming pool that is in excellent condition and with an incredible view. In general it was worth it, we spent a relaxed and quiet weekend at the Bastian’s place.

Bastien’s place was very nice. We loved the unique design of the interior and the views from the hill were incredible. The best part was the shared infinity pool on the property. The kitchen was also well stocked to cook meals. The only downside was the AC doesn’t keep the living area that cool and at times communication with Bastien was delayed, but we eventually always got a response. There also wasn’t hot water in the shower but that wasn’t really an issue since it was so hot in SJDS. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for your coment. I m taking note now and will send the A/C of the living room to maintenance. To have it good for the next guests. Hot water works with propane. As the kitchen and the dryer. But yes it takes some time to warmup. I will also check this.

Great Host . Amazing view!!!!! Liked waking up to this in morning. Everything is cleaned! Best Airbnb I stayed in Nicaragua. Nothing negative to say about this stay. Enjoy the pool view. I recommend this place. Seems like he puts a lot of work into the spot.

The view is incredible and the best part about the place. Very hard to find this house in pelican eyes and no directions given to find this casa. You are not allowed to walk the path/stairs to town from this house. Okay certain homes in pelican eyes are allowed to use the path. Instead you have to walk down a very dirt road and walk up it each time. It’s a very hard walk. I think for the price I would not stay here again. Many other options better price and location in SJDS.

Price listed is very accessible compar to.other pmace around. Blair you should check before to say. You arrive at 1 pn when checking is at 3 om. Then call to complain because the cleaning lady was still there. You called us agiain because you could make the a/c work. The house is at 1km to the beach. Sorry it s too far for you. Yes we recomend in the listing having a car. You paid $100 per night. I'm sorry you found it too expensive. To have a bad review i would prefer not having you. Incredible how people are lyer and do not reconize what they have. I'm sorry for the next readers to read my upset words. But Blair was not a good guest at this end.

The house is very comfortable and beautiful, the mattresses are very comfortable, large kitchen, the special long and deep pool to swim or relax, the view, A/C, hot shower, everything is perfect! Thank you so much ☺️ 🙏🏻

La casa es muy cómoda y hermosa, los colchones muy confortables, cocina grande, la piscina larga y profunda especial para nadar o relajarse, la vista, A/C, ducha caliente, todo perfecto! Muchas gracias ☺️ 🙏🏻

Really great place, Sebastian helped us out with our reservation process quickly. Everything was clean and the view was excellent. Great place to stay with a small group.

My family and I loved our stay here very much. The apartment is very nice and the view is spectacular. Bastien is so good and helped us a lot during our stay. We will surely return.

A mi familia y a mi nos gustó muchísimo nuestra estadía aquí. El apartamento es muy bonito y la vista es espectacular. Bastien es muy bueno y nos ayudó mucho durante nuestra estadía. Seguro regresaremos.

The Airbnb is beautiful but the pool was under construction. Bastión indicated that there was a third pool but when we asked the guard she told us we didn't have access to another pool. Unfortunately, when I asked Bastien, she didn't answer me.

El Airbnb is hermoso pero la piscina estaba en construcción. Bastión indicó que había una tercera piscina pero cuando le preguntamos a la guardia ella nos dijo que no teníamos acceso a otra piscina. Desafortunadamente cuando le pregunté a Bastien no me contestó.

We enjoyed our stay very much but were quite surprised that we were not permitted to use the parking lot closest to the casa and secured by two security guards. The casa was very clean and well equipped but the microwave door was broken, so we did not use it.The two upper pools near the casa were totally gutted and fillled with piles of concrete and broken tiles but we were told they were being turned into a pickleball court and community pool. We had to walk up and down 232 steps to the lower pool and were not, again, allowed access to the parking lot closest to that pool. This was very hard on our knees as we are seniors but good exercise. We did enjoy the view of the town especially at sunset. closest to the pool. This was really hard on our aging knees as we are seniors but good exercise!

Mahe was very helpful and communicated effectively throughout our entire booking process.  We look forward to booking with Mahe in the future.

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Madroño. The view was breathtaking. One of the main reason why I booked this Airbnb is because of the view and the infinity pool upstairs (which unfortunately closed down for renovation during our stay). Mahe was very transparent about the issue we encountered with the air-conditioning, which was not really a problem at all for us. But he happily offered us a discount because of this small issue. We just wished that the water pressure from the shower would have been stronger. It was a bit challenging to shower, especially when there's 4 people using the 1 washroom. I guess they ran out of coffee too during our stay, so we had to go down to town to have breakfast. The cleaning lady, Ruth, did a phenomenal job in cleaning the place. She also surprised us one morning, and she came to cook us local Nicaraguan breakfast. It was so sweet and thoughtful of her. If you don't have a car, be ready to take the stairs from the maintown. It's at least 328 steps (8mins).

Great view of San Juan Bsie and a beautiful home with room for 5. Quality internet. There was no water when we arrived and there was no supply for gas propane, we missed it while preparing dinner. That said, the host was proactive in resolving both of these situations.

Superbe vue sur la Bsie de San Juan et une belle maison avec de la place pour 5 personnes. Internet de qualité. Il n'y avait pas d'eau à notre arrivée et il n'y avait pas de réserve pour le gas propane, on en a manqué pendant la préparation du souper. Cela dit, l'hôte a été proactif pour régler ces deux situations.

Beautiful view and the house was very nice and comfortable!

Hermosa vista y la casa era muy bonita y cómoda!

The house is beautiful, good neighborhood and great space, but unfortunately the resort needs a lot of maintenance, the pool that is near by is under construction or maintenance, the other one is blocks away with a lot of stairs and when you finally get there the pool is under very poor circumstances, my speciation was very high after seeing the pictures I read the clarification about the pool days after I booked keep in mind that you will get a lot of noise from town specially in the second floor, no in the main bedroom. Not all bad but certainly no as the pictures.

OMG! worth every penny! the view , the location , the house, make yourself a favor and stay here .

I would not recommend staying at this place, we had a very bad experience with the host not communicating before accepting our booking, that the 2 pools next to the house (including the infinity pool shown in pictures) is under construction/maintenance and we are sure it will stay like that for at least a month or more, we were told there was another pool next to a restaurant that we could use, however you have to walk down at least 400mts of some slippery stairs to get there, not convenient at all, or at least is not what is promised on this Airbnb post (they guarantee a pool 30 meters away). However the residential needs maintenance. My family was disappointed for not being able to use a pool even though we had everything ready to spend a good time, the host was  inappropriate and rude when we asked for some type of compensation due to the fact that we couldn’t use a pool at all during our stay,  we felt highly mistreated as customers, would never come back.

We spent a week in this magnificent villa overlooking San Juan Del Sur and out to the Pacific Ocean. The views and sunsets are magical, the wildlife is abundant and there's howler monkeys in the trees, daily.  Except for the fact that we wanted to explore, we would never have left the villa after doing our grocery shopping for the week because we had everything we needed to totally relax.  It is a brisk 10 minute walk into town where you can find everything you need.  The people of San Juan Del Sur are friendly and helpful.  Our host was friendly, professional and helpful and if we return to San Juan Del Sur will stay here again.

Real nice place close to town but quiet !

Great place and walking distance to town. Bring your walking shoes as their are lots of steps since this unit sits at the top of the hill but the views are so worth it. If you want to skip all the steps you can get a short cab ride from town for less than $2. Communications were great and I was able to get an early check in which made my travel day so much better. Would def recommend, amazing place for the price

Very nice House Beautiful balcony with a great view it’s close to town car or taxi is easier as there is a up hill Mahe is a great host thank you

Stay was perfect. Everything was as promised. Easy and quick communication.

We enjoyed our stay! The house had a great view and we appreciated the close proximity to the pool and to town.
