2BR loft in San Juan del Sur

Santa Cruz Loft 2 - Villas for Rent in San Juan del Sur, Departamento de Rivas, Nicaragua

The place is just as the pictures, great views, the pool is excellent and clean. Good water pressure, cold a/c, and a calf workout with the hill. Walking distance to everything but if you're a solo traveler the street leading to house is not all that illuminated because of the locals that live there, so just as an FYI. We did have an issue with the fridge, but Rosi sent someone immediately and even brought us a bag of ice. Overall, would recommend.

Thank you!  I had to purchase a new fridge as the compressor died, thank you for putting up with this problem.

Rosi was great very responsive at all times great place to stay and relax pool was great view was great

3 stars for location…. Sorry you had to walk up the hill.

Loved the place. Very clean and spacious and in a good location. The pool and patio area is perfect for hanging out and relaxing. Looks exactly like the photos and has everything you need for a weekend. Only recommendation is that you DO NOT follow Google Maps with the link listed. FOLLOW THE WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS. Unfortunately we found this out the hard way, but during the process of arrival Rosi was very responsive and of great help.

Rosi was a great host. The place and private pool were so nice!!! Would definitely stay here again!

Great place- only stay here when we come to SJDS!

Everything was great. Quick response from Rosi, batteries of the remote control were empty, wrote Rosi briefly, 10 minutes later the cleaning lady was already at the door with new ones. We liked it very much and are very satisfied. (no criticism just a note: the shower head in the lower bathroom should be replaced, unfortunately splashes in all directions) Regards

Alles Top. Schnelle Reaktion von Rosi, Batterien der Fernbedienung was leer, kurz Rosi geschrieben, 10 Minuten später stand schon die Putzfrau mit neuen vor der Tür. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen und sind sehr zufrieden. (keine Kritik nur ein Hinweis: der Duschkopf im unteren Bad sollte erneuert werden, spritzt leider in alle Richtungen) LG

Thank you for the note on the shower head will replace it!

Rosi, is great and very nice. Unit is exactly as described. Very helpful and accommodating

Great location! Good food around. Condo has a beautiful view with beautiful pool. Fast internet, great amenities, easily accessible for take out orders. Amazing! But amazing caretaker staff. Super friendly and secure.

Me and my wife had a very pleasant stay. Great view . Everything was close. And host was very responsive. I will definitely be back again

Incredible view and amazing pool / space walkable to everything you need in SJDS! Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a safe place!

This was a great stay! Thank you for everything Rosi!

Superb Villa, swimming pool and beautiful view. 🫶🏼 I recommend it. 💯

Superbe Villa , piscine et vu magnifique 🫶🏼 je recommande à 💯

great place. very modern and comfortable.

We loved our stay in SJDS with Ross at the Santa Cruz Lofts and we would highly recommend this place. A few things to note: - The loft is as pictured and has incredible views of SJDS and the bay - Everything is very modern and comfortable - There is a large hill that you need to go up or down near the lofts to get to town, so be aware if you do not have a car. It is great exercise for those that are active. - Rosi and the team were very responsive to any questions or concerns we had as we had some minor maintenance items that were quickly addressed. Nothing that impacted our stay in any way negatively. - We loved the fact that you could have such a hyper-modern and tranquil place to stay that was also close to the local neighbourhoods so you can see how local people live. This is not a "bubble" development but is situated far enough away to be quiet. - We would absolutely stay here again if in SJDS!

The place was clean upon arrival. Bugs was at minimum and included ants, spiders, and wasp. I sprayed the place daily to prevent. I understood the large windows would limit privacy but didn’t know pool cleaners will be just popping up unexpectedly middle of the morning. Received instructions that the pool cleaners would come daily before 6am. Only received service the 5th day of my 6 day stay. Place has unexpected power outages that last hours or minutes there was one scheduled outage but I received the notification after reporting it to owner. Lastly, the lock doesn’t lock from inside. Digital keypad to enter is fine but should have a way to lock from inside. Wasn’t sure exactly who had the code to enter. Maybe previous guest. Place is really still a gem besides the unexpected inconveniences. Showers, stove, large refrigerator, and TV all work fine. Thanks for allowing me to stay at your place.

Worked remote had absolutely no problems. Great Internet, great environment, air conditioning works great. Great modern home in SJDS. The hill is steep, but if you’re athletic, you’re fine- very close to town! We had a truck to go surfing but walked at night to town for dinner. Very safe area, nice people everywhere.

This is the best place to stay in San Juan del sur. The pool we used everyday. The view never gets old, so beautiful. Everything is walkable but taxis love to over charge tourists. The walk up the hill is incredibly humbling lol, incredibly steep (the only downside). There are a lot of restaurants and near and if you want to travel to other beaches a lot of hostels have shuttle services for cheap! Would definitely stay here again. Rosi leaves a book of great recommendations for your stay we thoroughly enjoyed! Don’t think twice and book this beautiful place!

Really nice and modern place. It had all the needed amenities for a pleasant stay.

Great stay in a beautiful location. Better than everywhere else

Rosi’s place is INCREDIBLE!!! It is just like the pictures & the description & even better when you see the view & the pool. She had tons of extra linens & towels, a recommendation book, very clear instructions, it was super clean & had great security! This is definitely one of the BEST places I have ever stayed anywhere. We could not get enough of the view or the pool. There is a steep hill exactly as described & it’s SO worth the price!!! You could bring an entire family of 4 here. The view overlooks the entire bay & Jesus Cristina- way cool!!Thanks again Rosi for making San Juan deal Sur such a special experience!

Had a great 3 weeks here.  Very comfortable place as advertized.  Spent soooo much time in the pool.  Great view.  Walkable and convenient to town.  The much talked about hill coming back is real (when taxis fail to make it without a running start it is real), but overall was a good workout!  Maybe a little easier if not in 100 degrees and 100% humidity.  But seriously, I had a great time here.  Host was great.  Communicative and accomodating.  Highly recommended.

Great place wonderful views close to city center very clean very special and excellent pool and a very welcoming and responsive host

Rosi was great and responsive! The place was beautiful and was not too high up. She left us a binder full of more instructions and tips! It was fairly close to everything. If you do not feel like walking you can always rent a motorcycle or vehicle nearby in the town. I LOVED the private pool. My aunt and uncle did stay with us and we had a bit of an accident on the way up but, Rosi was quick to help once I called. My uncle is a bit of a nervous driver and the place is up on a sort of steep part. (A lot of places are like that in San Juan). There’s pots, laundry machines and soap for you at this stay. The only thing I will say is - the bathroom wasn’t cleaned when we got there. There was someone else’s hair along the walls. The stay was still beautiful and maybe someone just forgot. Loved this vacation home regardless!

Great stay overall, easy to get to and beautiful views.

Rosi and her team are amazing hosts. The property was stunning! Santa Cruz is located very close to town but far enough away that you have privacy and quiet. Private plunge pool is a must have! Villa is exactly as described. I’d highly recommend staying at Santa Cruz!

My daughter and I very much enjoyed our 7 night stay. The accommodation was clean, a great location - walking distance to restaurants - and the view was outstanding. It had everything it needed. It is located up a steep hill (if you do not have a car there are taxis available) however for me personally I welcomed the opportunity to walk that hill as you could cool off in the beautiful pool that was cleaned daily. Rosi was very responsive to all our questions - we felt well looked after. This location truly added so much to our mother daughter adventure ❤️

Lovely having you both!!!  You got my number if she interested in Africa……

Great place, pretty good location a short walk from town and far enough away to be peaceful and up the hill to catch the evening breezes. All mod cons and Rosi is very helpful w tips and suggestions and very responsive.

Absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful view & a stunning private pool. She had a binder full of helpful info & local recommendations, as well as extra towels for the pool/beach. A quick walk from the main part of town. Rosi was also super responsive & helped with all our questions/needs!

Love the place perfect get away for couples

View was amazing. Pool was lovely, warm and cleaned everyday. Perfect to cool off after the heat. Listing matched the home. Ramon was amazing! Home could have been cleaned a bit better. Sheets and towels were worn and some with stains. Washing machine had black mold, smelled terribly and dryer door did not lock.

Sorry to hear, you failed to mention when you were here.  A family of 4 must have been difficult to keep up with on cleanliness yet you didn’t ask for more days for the housekeeper.  The dryer was working so not sure why it didn’t for you….

Beautiful stay, exactly like the pictures! Rosi was very responsive and helpful. Safe area with 24h security. They clean your room daily which is very rare. Only bad thing is that it’s up a steep hill but it’s around so many restaurants and excursions. Felt like home! Would definitely book again if i come back.

Great spot! I would highly recommend! Beautiful and clean, good location

Super place ! Je recommande fortement ! Beau et propre bien situé

I enjoyed my stay, and Rosi  was helpful and very  informative. I also got back to me regarding my  inquiries. Unfortunately, I had a family  emergency  and had to go back home 13 days early  as I was booked  1 month at Rosi's I did not get any form of refund from Rosi an or Air b&b and I did try with air b&b and via Rosi, so if you have to leave early good luck on any refund.

Absolutely lovely as always and Rosi is a total gem! ❤️

Excellent place, very comfortable. Great communication with Rosi

Excelente lugar, muy cómodo. Excelente comunicación con Rosi

Our four night stay at the Loft were such a lovely addition to our visit to SJDS. The loft is absolutely beautiful and provides everything needed for an awesome stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the views from the moment we awoke until we went to sleep. Literally anywhere you stand in the loft has the most amazing view. It’s close enough to town but just far enough to allow for a relaxing evening. We utilized the suggested massage service which was an excellent way to wind down after a long day/evening on the beach. Props to Rosi and what she’s cultivated - it truly was an awesome experience.

DO NOT STAY HERE. We have been hosts in the Airbnb community for over a decade, hosting at 4 different places through the years, so we know what it takes to ensure our guests have a positive experience. From the beginning, staying at Rosi's place was not a good experience. No hot water, not cleaned well, and a rude host. Not worth it for what they charge at all! Here are more details about our stay: I messaged them from my partner’s Airbnb account in the beginning asking them if there would be construction happening onsite (or if they knew of any happening close by) because my partner is autistic. When we arrived at 3:30PM (30 minutes after their check-in time), we pulled up to very loud construction going on in their other studio apartment right next door to ours. When we contacted the Rosi, she just said that “she forgot” and that the construction wouldn’t be done anytime soon but would ask them to stop now and resume after our stay. We appreciated her doing that, but arriving to construction after we specifically made sure to ask about it was still very overstimulating and not a great way to start our arrival. Then we we got to the apartment, there were dirty rags and a mop left on the pool chairs and pillows on the couch strewn everywhere. Many of the surfaces hadn’t been wiped down and it looked like someone had just finished taking a nap on the couch. We confirmed with the host that the apartment was cleaned even though at first glance, it didn’t look like it, and they said that they just started using a new cleaning person. Again, thanks for the explanation, but not a good start to our arrival. The cleaning person then came by to pick up the rags and let themselves in and out of the apartment without knocking several times over the course of the next 45 minutes, doing laundry at one point (because they hadn’t finished cleaning or laundry before our stay apparently), and bringing milk (and asking about a baby) for us at another point because apparently Rosi thought that because we said someone in our party was autistic, that meant that the person was a baby/child. Adults can be autistic too! And if you don't know that, we suggested you do some personal research. Because of their ableist misunderstanding in thinking we now had an autistic child, Rosi then accused us of not being honest with the number of guests that we had staying there. Once that was clarified, the apartment was finally clean, and we got settled, we then realized there was no hot water. In fact, it was ice cold throughout our entire stay! A major part of why we booked the listing was for the hot water, since many places in Nicaragua don’t have hot water. Rosi then lied to us and said that the reason there’s no hot water is because there’s a water shortage in town. My partner owns a house in town (that was currently booked during the time of our stay), so we know what’s been going on with the water in town. We also know that the temperature of the water is not impacted by a water shortage. Given our troubles, we asked for a late checkout, which Rosi obliged to, but then went back and forth with us about a 15 minute window of time (our car was coming at 1 and they wanted us to check out by 12:45). When we asked if we could just leave at 1 so we’re not standing in the hot sun with our bags for 15 minutes, Rosi then said “I knew I shouldn’t have accepted a third-party booking” (because I booked the reservation from my account since I wanted to treat my partner and my card information is not on her account) and then accused us of having our “payment methods declined” as the reason that we didn’t book the reservation from my partner’s account. Wildly presumptions, and very classist. We then got home and weren’t even going to leave a bad review, because we understand how much bad reviews impact host algorithms. But they then, after ALL of that, accused us of stealing the pool blanket and ugly pillows that were on the couch, and sent a request for us to pay $80 for the "missing" items. The pool blanket we left on the pool deck and the pillows we put in the smaller room, which proves to us that Rosi's cleaning person doesn’t do their job properly or else they would have seen them. All in all— DO NOT GO THROUGH THE TROUBLE OF BOOKING THIS PLACE. A horrible ableist and classist experience, definitely not worth the extra money for what it advertises. Highly recommend just booking another spot that is less expensive, there are several spots with pools and beautiful views and WiFi in Nicaragua, some even with hot water! Good luck!

Where do I start :)... Traveling from Costa Rica, I got turned away at the border for not having sufficient paperwork, so reached out to Rosi to let her know I wouldn't be arriving as planned for check in. Amazingly, she knew of someone who was available to help me out in a completely different country within 20 minutes of my call! Finally I arrive with my 2 dogs and cat and walk into this breathtaking space, overlooking the bay just a short distance to town with everything you'd ever need and more. Private parking with 24 hour security. Pool cleaned daily. The cleaning crew is very precise in doing their thing when you are out and about, so as not to interfere with your stay. Rosi's crew even watched my animals one night when I went on a road trip to another town! All of my expectations were far exceeded and I couldn't have asked for more. Rosi was always available for me and I would highly recommend anyone looking at staying here to not think twice because you'll be in great hands guaranteed.

I absolutely loved staying here. Beautiful space and still close to town. Rosi was super responsive and helpful and was able to accommodate me. Everything was phenomenal! Many many thanks!

Rosi was amazing! Right from when we booked our trip months in advance, she had every answer we needed traveling not only around San Juan Del Sur, but all of Nicaragua. When we were in Managua, I’d message her and she’d help us out (and that was even before we got to Santa Cruz). She referred us to a company of drivers for hire so we didn’t have to rent a car, and it worked out so great for us the entire time we were in Nicaragua. Once we got to Santa Cruz, we were blown away. The place is amazing, so updated and so clean. The shower water pressure is next level. We also felt extremely safe in the area, all the locals were so friendly. You cannot beat the view (we stayed in Loft 2) and chilling by the pool at the end of the day was a must for us. She referred us to a bike rental place, and it was great! We used the bike the entire time we were there getting around from beach to beach. We’d walk down to town for dinner (5-10 minute walk). All in, we had a great experience at Rosi’s and we’ll definitely be coming back.

i stayed a month and then extended for 2 weeks, working remotely while enjoying San Juan + its surroundings. its a nice base to unplug while also being productive and getting things done as it's quite private and quiet. the apartment is very sleek and modern with a great view from the terrace and bedroom. oh and the private pool is a huge bonus for cooling down from the heat. San Juan is a cool place, everyone is super friendly. not one person will pass you without saying hi, its so nice! the town is about 10min walk down. the apartments are on a steep hill but the uphill climb lasts 5 minutes or so and after a week or two you get use to it the walk up. I recommend staying here!

Amazing 10 out of 10 Great view, sparkling private pool, air conditioned, spacious, and quiet. The power does go out at night so bring a flashlight just in case. The location of the loft is on a steep hill so if you're walking, be prepared with some comfortable shoes; its a small walk about 10 minutes but be prepared. Overall this place is amazing and I hope to return soon.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I need to break this down into sections so I can fully convey the experience. San Juan Del Sur Area: Truly an amazing and enchanting place. Might be a little difficult to get to depending on where you're coming from but it a wonderful place. Please go, you won't regret it. Rosi's Lofts: These lofts are spectacular and offer incredible views. They are far enough from the main SJDS area to provide peace and tranquility but are still walking distance to everything. The floor plan, layout and interior is exemplary. I felt immediately at home the moment I walked in and it always felt roomy and super comfortable. You will have to resist the urge to stay home all the time if you stay here but I do encourage you to check out the surrounding area no matter how much you love the place. Rosi: I cannot say enough about Rosi. She was always excellent with communication and also helped us to understand the area and what to do. If I needed anything Rosi was always on top of it. Rosi is probably the best host I've had on Air BNB and I plan on staying at her lofts again in the very near future. All and all, one of the best stays I've ever had!

Rosi is a fantastic host and a wonderful human being. Staying here brought me back to life and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity.

Rosi's place is gorgeous.  But more importantly, she's simply an amazing host.  Her communication was immediate and she helped arrange for deliveries, taxi's etc.  Excited to return.  :)

The place as a base is highly recommended. Renting a car or motorcycle is imperative. The best beaches are 30 minutes away and very accessible. I recommend fishing, I had a chance to see whales.

El lugar como base es altamente recomendable. Alquilar carro o moto es imperativo. Las mejores playas son a 30 minutos y muy accesibles. Recomiendo pescar, tuve la oportunidad de ver ballenas.

The loft is a stylish space nestled within the town of SJDS. Perfect for a couples getaway. It is well equipped, private and has anything you could need.

Lovely place, proactive host and fast with communication

It was great hosting you both!  Welcome back anytime and hopefully I be able to spoil you even more with something special in the fridge on arrival....

A place to rest, quiet and good security.

Un lugar para descansar, tranquilo y buena seguridad.

Fantastic. Of the choices in San Juan Del Sur, this is among the best. The condo is very nice, just as pictured. Rosi is also a great host, helpful, thoughtful, and responsive throughout our stay. Only thing to be aware of is the steep hill leading up to the loft, we walked up only once, rest of the time we caught taxi rides or used motorbikes.

we had a wonderful stay at Rosi's place everything was super clean excellent location. she was very kind since we made the reservation . we felt like it was our own house.

Rosi's place is state of the art! We absolutely loved our stay in the loft. It is located on a hill which provides the most amazing view. Daily cleaning services were provided and communication was outstanding. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting San Juan!

The lofts are very clean and well maintained. Rosi and her crew are the best. Had a problem with the main entrance door at the loft, Rosi and crew were quick to respond and take care of the problem. Lofts are safe had no problem with my vehicle. Rosi has great recommendations for restaurants and places to visit. Recommend the lofts to everyone.

So far this was the best place I ever stayed in while using airbnb! The place is stunning! It is new, modern and designed great! Private pool was absolutely amazing! Rosi was very helpful host and accommodated all our special needs. She has great instructions for San Juan del Sur area. We were just following them and it saved our time choosing the places to eat /beaches to explore and reading reviews in trip advisor.

Great place to stay and the view is amazing.

Fantastic romantic hideaway. Nice views, awesome modern layout and pool. Hill is steep, but short. Very private, view from master bedroom is wicked.

This was our first time to Nicaragua, and it surely didn’t disappoint! The condo was amazing, super clean, perfect location and a million dollar view! Would go back tomorrow!

I concur with ALL the positive reviews. Rosi and her team are a delight to work with. It certainly made our stay from the USA a peaceful experience. Everything you need is provided in a detailed manual upon arrival. An especially nice touch was Rosi willingness to pre purchase breakfast items and waters for us. I highly recommend staying here. On a side note, dress casually and bring comfortable shoes to walk as some of the roads are not paved in SJDS. Perfect location! VERY FRIENDLY AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT

Great Place! Very Clean and Beautiful Views! Rosi was an amazing host!

Beautiful loft, quality stay, great water pressure, quiet, close to town, but away enough to be nice and private. Love the pool! Rosi is wonderful and responds very fast. Would stay again! The space is so tastefully and efficiently designed!!!

Absolutely amazing. Rosi was super helpful (organizing transport from the airport on top of everything else). Beautiful place in the hills that I would recommend to anyone staying in San Juan Del Sur.

Super accurate and even better than in the pictures. Rosi is ana amazing host and the loft is absolutely beautiful and comfortable.

I can say that Rosies Place was everything that we read about it was absolutely perfect cozy and clean Rosie is the sweetest person we met response time for anything we needed she was Right on it quick .The views of the bay were amazing the house was one of the best houses we’ve ever stayed in .her and her husband have done amazing job with the house the place is to die for 👍, we will definitely be coming back to stay at Rosies Place .Rosie knows we’re to eat and drink we’re to the best beaches are she is a great tour guide she knows what San jaun has to offer anyone considering coming to this amazing place thank you Rosie see you soon!!

Rosi’s place was perfect! It was very nice, clean, and secure. Rosi arranged transportation to and from the airport and gave awesome local advice. When I had a question she was very prompt and responsive. Just a great trip all around!!

Fantastic place to lay your head.  The host (Rosi) engages the perfect balance of being available, helpful and accommodating to the guests needs while also providing complete privacy allowing you to relax and enjoy the wonderful loft and surrounding areas.  I look forward to coming back as soon as posable.

This Home is absolutely beautiful and Rosi was an amazing host. Very clean with modern high end fixtures, fit and finish was remarkable. I would highly recommend :) 

Rosi's place was stunning - modern, beautifully designed, amazing view and very clean. She was very quick and helpful with any questions we had. Super close to everything, about a 5 minute walk. Would not hesitate to recommend this amazing place!

We had an amazing stay at Rosi's loft. The space was sparkling clean and the amenities could not be beat. A dip in the pool, overlooking San Juan del Sur harbor was exactly what the doctor ordered after a long dusty day of tooling around the playas. Highly recommend!

We LOVED our stay at Rosi's home! The place is so immaculate, stylish, and comfortable that we almost never wanted to leave. Also the view is incredible. I would hands down recommend anyone coming to San Juan del Sur stay here. Rosi was a great host who gave us tons of great tips!

Rosi is a phenomenal host. Her thoughtful hospitality and consistent responsiveness exceeded all expectations pre, during and post stay. The Loft is a beautiful balance of modern design and simplicity. It's located just far enough up the hill from town to feel secluded without losing the easy access of local restaurants and shops. We loved exploring all the nearby beaches with Rosi's expert guidance. Highly recommend visiting SJDS with Rosi!

Rosi makes the trip worth it, alone. She’s the most attentive host we’ve ever experienced, in a totally unassuming, warm-hearted way. If you appreciate modern design, safety, & cleanliness, you’ll like this space.
