Angel was fantastic whenever we had an issue and the issues were really just Wi-Fi and she helped locate my son when we couldn’t find him. This is a remote place so it’s not like the city when we had concerns. Angel addressed them immediately.

I was here for four weeks mid Nov to mid Dec, 2025. Some of the furniture is different, but the house looks the same. It is good value for the Balcones de Majagual development. With almost the entire house being screens, it feels like you can almost touch nature. Being so high up, the birds are flying almost at eye level, and the howlers travel right over the house. The kitchen is well stocked with plates/cutlery/etc. There is a good fridge, gas stove, toaster, french press coffee maker, and blender. The power goes out frequently – that’s Nicaragua. The wifi is very good, as long as the power is on. Cell service with Claro is very iffy. Yes, you need a 4x4, as much for the clearance as extra traction. The new coastal highway is under construction right now and when completed, it will be a matter of minutes to SJDS. I was here at the end of the rainy season. There were very few bugs, and surprisingly, no little ants! Angelique was great to work with.

Literally the most beautiful place possible. We were captivated by the beauty of the setting. The architecture in this house is crazy! The fact that everything is open makes the immersion in the forest very intense! Really great about that! 🤩 We knew the pool wasn't passable, but the communal pool could not be used as well. And as stated in the announcement, there are few Wifi you will be totally disconnected, do not consider this place to work. As the house is in nature, several visitors came to see us (as there are small entrances under the doors and at the walls). For example, several bats🦇, lizards and locusts🦎🦗, but also two scorpions in the room and shower🦂. It's quite normal given the setting, but for the last one it surprises! Think before you come if you are very afraid of insects, if not, feel free to come and discover this beautiful house! Thanks for the experience ☺️✌️

I absolutely loved this treehouse! It was exactly what I needed. Angelica and Jorge are also wonderful people. They picked me up in San Jorge when I got off the ferry and Angelica would shuttle me to anywhere I needed to go the whole time I was there. Not only that, but they make some of the best cheese I've ever had and she would bring me a variety of cheeses throughout my stay. The sunsets are fantastic. The walk to the beach is short and there is an excellent restaurant right on the beach with great WiFi if you need to work. My colleagues were pretty jealous of my beachfront office. I already miss Casa Arbol and hope to come back. It's a real treasure.

My only problem was the bad wifi signal but that's not the hosts fault. Sometimes like that in Nicaragua. Just have to adapt. Place was everythingwe wanted for peace and quiet.

First, the accommodation and surroundings were breathtakingly beautiful. The beaches were a 15-20 minute walk and fantastic. It is very important to pay attention to shopping beforehand, if you do not have your own car. BUT unfortunately there were also some negative things: We were offered a shuttle for $80 by Angelique in advance. In the village we found it for half, in the first hostel we asked in. When we arrived, the pool was completely dirty and not cleaned and due to damage that was not fixed throughout the stay, we had to turn off the water pump that was outside the house after each water use. Although there are probably regular power outages, there were no candles or flashlights in the house. On the day of departure we had no running water and did not get any help from Angelique. However, it was very nice that we were allowed to stay a few hours longer after check out.

Oh my word this was the best accommodation that we stayed at so far in Nica. Angelique and her husband are wonderful and we even visited their lovely French cheese shop in San Juan which you should checkout. They also offered very affordable transport services which made getting around much easier since we didn't have a vehicle. The house is something to be experienced... not only for it's gorgeous setting but also architecturally. A full nature immersion experience within a super setup home with amazingly comfortable beds, linens, high end kitchen items, etc. And great beaches not far off... a 15 minute walk got me to my favorite beach. Great spot with a little restaurant, clean facilities and good swimming conditions. Overall the rental was a fabulous experience which I HIGHLY recommend. Thanks so much Angelique and George! Looking forward to seeing you next time 😊
