Unique spot and easy access with new highway

We were very pleasantly surprised by the property's strategic location, literally steps away from two beautiful beaches and spectacular views. The included breakfast at Juanita's K was a nice touch. It really set the tone for our trip on a positive note. Daniel, the co-host, had an outstanding response time. Everyone in our group had a fantastic time, and we would definitely like to come back. Highly recommended!

Lovely stay in this house where each room had air conditioning. Close to two beaches, one of which was ideal with young children (the one near the El Ranchito restaurant). Beautiful place to stay near other beaches and about 20 minutes from San Juan del Sur. Hermosa Beach for surf lessons with Osman and Tribu Surf was our favorite. Daniel, the host, was very friendly and very responsive! We enjoyed our stay.

Beau séjour dans cette maison où chaque chambre avait l’air climatisée. À proximité de deux plages dont l’une était idéale avec de jeunes enfants (celle près du restaurant El ranchito). Bel endroit où séjourner à proximité d’autres plages et à environ 20 minutes de San Juan del Sur. La plage Hermosa pour les cours de surf avec Osman et la Tribu Surf a été notre préférée. Daniel, l’hôte, a été très sympathique et très réactif! Nous avons apprécié notre séjour.

The house was as described and the host was very helpful, responsive and flexible. We enjoyed being able to walk to the beach and back in just a few minutes. Also enjoyed the outdoor living area. Overall great stay.

Casa Ceiba was a wonderful place to stay and exceeded our expectations. The house is charming, spacious, comfortable, and very well equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed, all the amenities worked perfectly, and the A/C kept the bedrooms cool and comfortable. It is the perfect home for a large family or a group of friends. The location is fantastic, with several beautiful beaches just a short walk away. We visited Playa Maderas and Playa Majagual, and both were magical. Majagual was our favorite, with its deep blue water, soft white sand, and lush tropical vegetation—it felt like paradise. The complimentary breakfast on our first morning at Juanita's Kitchen, right on the beach, was a wonderful touch. Enjoying a traditional Nicaraguan breakfast with such incredible ocean views was the perfect way to start the day. Daniel was an exceptional host—kind, patient, and always quick to respond. His recommendation for surfing lessons was spot-on and made our experience even more mem

Absolute amazing - i can highly recommand

Fantastic place and  great beach 20secs away

Thank you for the good service and a very quiet stay!☀️

Gracias por el buen servicio y una estadía muy tranquila!☀️

Our stay here was fantastic.  Multiple choices of beautiful beaches to swim, surf and boogie board. Our hosts were gracious, made us feel at home, and helped with activity connections and information. J's Kitchen/Restaurant was delicious and served the best food and drink of the three beaches we visited. It was an ideal week for our two kids and ourselves, and we hope to come back again.

Thank you guys for being such amazing guests!

It's always a pleasure to stay here. The property has everything and an amazing location. The included breakfast is great

Siempre es un gusto hospedarme acá. La propiedad tiene de todo y una ubicación increíble. El desayuno incluido es buenisimo

the house is very nice, Herly is very friendly and they were available all the time

la casa es muy bonita, Herly es muy amable y estuvieron disponibles todo el tiempo

This is a great place for a big group. It is walkable to playa maderas but the beach this house is closest to is playa Majagual. It is important to save directions before you arrive because there is no cell phone service near the house.  Excellent breakfast included.

We loved this place so much we didn't want to leave! It's a short 2 minute walk to Playa Majagual, our fav in SJDS because it's not crowded and far less commercialized than others. The house and rooms are comfortable and really help you settle in to a relaxing time at the beach. Wifi worked great, our host and the grounds keeper were both attentive and so kind. The howler monkeys wake up call from the trees above the patio was just icing on the cake. So magical! We can't wait to come again.

Great location. Friendly host. Nice and comfortable stay.

The staff who attended us was very friendly and adequately guided us to make our visit more pleasant.

El personal que nos atendio fue muy amable y nos orientaron adecuadamente para hacer nuestra visita mas agradable.

Spent there a whole week with my 4 friends and it was amazing. Highly recommended!

The house has everything you need for your stay. It's just a few steps from the coast, which is an ideal location! The included breakfast is really a very good added value. I would definitely stay again

La casa cuanta con todo lo que necesitas para tu estancia. Se encuentra a tan solo unos pasos de la costa lo cual su ubicación es ideal! El desayuno incluido realmente es un muy buen valor agregado. Sin duda volvería a hospedarme

Wonderful place, practically private and beautiful beaches, wonderful house, if you travel with your pets it is fenced and there is no danger of them escaping, Daniel and Herly were attentive to what we needed, wonderful place 3 minutes from the beach, the house is perfect.

Maravilloso lugar, playas prácticamente privadas y bellas, la casa maravillosa, si viajas con tus mascotas está cercado y no hay peligro de que escapen, Daniel y Herly estuvieron atentos a lo que necesitábamos, maravilloso lugar a 3 min de la playa, la casa es perfecta.

We spent a month here and the hosts were responsive to everything we asked for and helped to make us comfortable in every way possible. Beds were good, beach is close, it's a remarkably quiet area considering the restaurants are so close by. Internet is decent, considering the location. AC worked well and the rooms are well sealed against mosquitoes etc. It is a bit far from town and the going rate is 25$ one way or 40$ round trip for a taxi, or about 7$ p/p round trip on the shuttle at Maderas. There is basically no shopping at all in the area so come prepared with everything you'll need, although a fruit/vegetable truck comes three times a week. The only negative is that the mosquitos get pretty bad around sunrise and sunset, and there is no "safe" hangout/dining/living area. The hosts helped us convert one of the bedrooms to a dining room which helped immensely. If one day they can make a screened-in area for dining it would be perfect.

We had a super nice weekend there, both beaches are just a couple meters away what we enjoyed to the fullest! There was a little mix up at the beginning with air bnb but they  were super nice about it and cleared it up quickly. Herly was also very welcoming and available the whole time for whatever questions we had. We would book the house again anytime!

Casa la Ceiba was everything we needed for our trip.  The location to the beach, and restaurants were very close.  The space was more than adequate for the family of six. Daniel was extremely accommodating and responsive.  It was also comforting to know that Hurley was close by if we needed anything.  I'm so happy we booked with Casa la Ceiba for our trip.

This spot was excellent for us and our group of friends to get a few days surfing in Maderas. It's a short walk along the beach to the break, and while not directly in Maderas had access to a couple restaurants. it was also nice that Majagual had a more chill vibe and great sunsets. I also loved seeing the host out on the waves! they were responsive and helpful. Would recommend.

Casa la Ceiba was incredible. There were tons of sleeping spaces for many guests and the the central social area was always a great time. Herly, the groundskeeper, was very responsive and was helpful in organizing taxis for late night airport transport. There was always water available, which is a very underrated amenity. Casa la Ceiba is not on playa maderas, but on majagual. The beach out front is beautiful and much less crowded, but surfers will have to take the short walk down the beach to the Maderas beach. Overall a wonderful experience.

Fantastic house with great hosts. Just a short walk to the beach and restaurants. The rooms were perfect, most have a private bathroom. Kitchen has everything you need. Herley is there throughout the day to help with anything you might need and he is awesome. If you’re coming to surf, Maderas beach is an easy walk and the waves are worth it.

Our group of 10 had a fantastic experience at Nora & Lino's place. The housekeeper, Herley, is incredible chill, and extremely helpful. Location A+, vibes, only the best. Highly recommend.

We had a great stay at Nora and Lino's place. The house is as described, situated between two of the most beautifully secluded Pacific beaches in Nicaragua. Playa Majagual and Maderas are both a short walk from the house . We enjoyed the waves and the scenery and the amazing sunsets. The rooms in the house are comfortable and clean and set around a communal dining area/lounge with comfy hammocks. The caretaker Herley stays at the house also and is available to help with anything that may come up. This is a place to truly disconnect as there is no wifi or data cell service and no tourist amenities nearby.

Excellent for a secluded break near quiet beaches, definitely to be repeated. Herly, the caretaker, is super helpful with tips on where to go. Everything is very clean. Saltwater showers. Excellent hammocks!

Excelente para un descanso apartado cerca de playas tranquilas, sin duda para repetirlo. Herly, el cuidador, es super colaborador con consejos para donde ir. Todo muy limpio. Duchas con agua salada. Excelentes hamacas!

My ten friends and I rented the house for our spring break and we absolutely loved it. Every day we would walk along the beach explore, and surf at Maderas which was a nice 10 minute walk away. At night we would catch the 3$ Casa Oro shuttle into San Juan del Sur and enjoy the nightlife there. Herly was super helpful and friendly, he even came and notified us on day when there was a sloth near our house so we could go see it! Clean water was provided and Lino was very helpful if we ever had an issue. We cannot wait to come back!

Great experience. Little hard to get to at first. Just make sure to make a RIGHT at the fork that has the sign for Matilda Hostel.  Monkeys came and visited in the morning. That was a very exciting first for me!  Joe

The trip was wonderful! Lino and the house manager were incredibly helpful and accommodating- we had trouble with our flight being delayed 6 hours and they made sure Herly (the house manager) was there and waiting in the middle of the night when we arrived. They also made sure we had transportation. It was a wonderful time! One tip- bring a Spanish dictionary if you don't have a Spanish speaker with you!

Our time at Surf Beach Getaway was very relaxed and comfortable. The neighborhood is very quiet and close to the beach - as explained in the description. 

Nuestro tiempo en Surf Beach Getaway fue muy relajado y cómodo. El barrio es muy tranquila y cerca de la playa- como explicó en la descripción. 

We had a great trip with friends in San Juan Del Sur. The house was perfect for our group and very relaxing. I'd highly recommend a stay here. Lino was easy to communicate with, and always responded quickly. Beautiful location.
