Rocks and Waves - Houses for Rent in San Juan del Sur, Rivas Department, Nicaragua

This house is beyond anything we could have imagined.  The most pristine and picturesque views of the Pacific from every room.  Quiet and calm, beautifully maintained.  Armando and Yasmina are so lovely and helpful; Yasmina made our family delicious dinners every night that my kids adored.  Armando was responsive and quick to pick us up/take us to all local beaches and things in town.  This place is unbelievable and we were lucky to have such an incredible week there (3 teens) with our family.  Thank you

Our stay at Rocas y Olas was perfect!  The place is just as advertised, perhaps better.  We had an amazing time and made lots of great memories.

home away from home. beautiful 😍 the view was amazing. loved hearing the waves near. was very clean and well equipped kitchen. peaceful and close to al shopping and outdoor attractions.

What a beautiful home. Everything fits perfectly and the relationship with the host was perfect. Everyone is very attentive. I've been on Airbnb for over 15 years on different continents and I've never had a house like this. Recommended

Quelle maison magnifique. Tout correspond parfaitement et la relation avec l’accueil a été parfaite. Tout le monde est au petit soin. Je suis sur Airbnb depuis + de 15 ans sur différents continent et je n’ai jamais eu une maison pareil. Je recommande ++++

Couldn’t ask for anything better! The house is fantastic with incredible views, Ksenia was very communicative and Jasmine and Armando were very attentive and nice the whole stay. Best place in SJDS

Great place to stay with amazing views! From the moment we were greeted by the house crew, we felt truly welcomed. Yasmina and Hermando were always there to help—whether it was bringing in groceries, entertaining our child, cooking, or being flexible when we needed it. The house is spacious and very comfortable, with million-dollar views. It’s also fully equipped with everything you could need—from cookware to a ping-pong table. It was a bit hot outside at the end of the dry season, so we especially enjoyed the infinity pool, which was the perfect temperature. We would absolutely come back again!

Our stay at Ksenia’s place was simply perfect! As other reviews mentioned, the house looks just as amazing in person. Clean, modern, comfortable, the most beautiful views & it’s completely private, and yet still a few minutes drive to the main town and all the restaurants, which the host provides recommendations for. Our caretakers Yasmina & Armando were wonderful, very attentive and every time we would leave/arrive at the house, they would come out in the driveway to greet us and check if we needed anything. Definitely recommend staying here, 10/10!

What a perfect trip. House was beautiful, we don’t know what we’ll miss more: being in the routine of mornings at the large pool and afternoons at the top floor pool, watching the sunset every night from the couch, waking up to the sunrise with floor to ceiling windows daily, Jasmine (housekeeper) breakfast & dinner (highly recommend she makes Arroz Guado) Armando (housekeeper) being a ninja driver - it felt as if as soon as we were ready to come home, he was there in a minute, Jasmine & Armando’s babysitting skills (our 4 year old and 5 month old) which allowed for 3 consecutive date nights…. We haven’t done that in 4 years haha. This was such a great trip celebrating my husbands 40th. The house was super clean, KSenia was a super speedy communicator with great recommendations. We hope to be back!

Stasey, I am so happy that you enjoyed your stay. It really is a wonderful place and I'm glad you were able to experience it for such special occasion! We look forward to hosting you again in the future!

WOW! AMAZING! SPECTACULAR! We LOVED staying at Ksenia's house in San Juan Del Sur The house was goegeous with spectacular ocean views. The kitchen, bedrooms and accomodations were top notch. And nothing can beat sunset in the infinity pool. If you ever have a need to stay in San Juan you should not pass this up. Ksenia was a great resource for all things. She responded immediately to any requests or questions we had. The house manager Denis was always available for any needs we had. Can't wait to get back!

The place is outstanding. So peaceful, in front of the ocean. The house itself is also outstanding. Super comfortable, well furnished, super well maintained. The hosts are extremely responsive and helpful. And the people taking care of the house are doing an outstanding job. Absolutely nothing negative to say about the whole experience…

Wonderful place in a marvelous area full of magic beaches. The house is pristine secluded and beautiful   Pictures don’t show how nice it is. Ksenia is a wonderful host.  A real find

Rocas & Olas is a stunning house in a spectacular setting.  A fabulous place to relax, clamber on rocks, and use as a base for beautiful beaches.  The staff are amazing.  Jasmine with cooking and Armando with driving took superb care of us.  We were so sad to leave.  We would love to come again!!

We can’t say enough good things about this place! First of all, it’s as good as the photos, if not better. Beautiful home, very spacious, and amazing views. It’s super private, you won’t see another person your whole stay except when in town. The location is a bit of a rough trek to get to, but fairly easy in car, and only like 5 minutes from the middle of the town. Armando, the caretaker, was absolutely amazing and always available to take us into town / pick us up at any hour. This was certainly a nice surprise that made for a super easy and enjoyable experience overall. It was the perfect balance of giving us our privacy and being around whenever needed. The housekeeping staff cleaned every day at our request and also cooked a few delicious meals for us. The master bed was super comfortable, nice pillows, and good AC. The shower was large with good hot water. We used the washer dryer and iron which were all in near new condition. The pools were super clean and refreshing.

If you're considering Rocas y Olas...LOOK NO FURTHER! If you're intrigued by the pictures and videos, just KNOW...it gets BETTER in person. Literally BREATHTAKING. From dusk to dawn...BREATHTAKING. And if you do reserve this beautiful home, PLEASE do yourself a favor and at some point sleep with your bedroom's sliding glass doors OPEN (screen closed) to hear the waves crash while you sleep in this unique palatial paradise. To top things off...the host, Ksenia...HONESTLY...there really aren't enough words or STARS to rate how accomodating, how unparalleled her level of service is/was before we even checked-in! Every excursion and activity was carefully curated by me and Ksenia was gracious enough to help me vet through different ideas to ensure we chose THEE BEST option, each and every time (even suggested an awesome pastry chef for a surprise birthday cake that was TOP-TIER delicious *chef's kiss*)! Hands down one of the top Airbnb experiences...EVER! Her housekeeper/chef, Jasmina, was THEE sweetest lady and the food was delicious every time (and right on time too)! Our driver, Armando, was a class act! For every errand and excursion we took, he was on time and provided meaningful insight and suggestions to help us navigate through this beautiful country and gave us a bird's eye-view of how the locals live! Already looking forward to the next trip and creating more priceless memories at 'Rocas y Olas' and I just can't say thank you enough to Ksenia and her team for making my wife's surprise birthday one for the ages!

Really, what more can be said than has already been shared by others. We are on a six week Costa Rica and Nicaragua trip. We love planning and spend countless hours searching for the coolest and most fun properties. Sometimes they are better than expected, and other times they are a bit of a let down. Ksenia’s house and location took the expectations and left them in the dust. Its truly an amazing home and experience. Its one you stay in and constantly wish you could live there permanently. We are not always fans of modern homes as they can lack character, but that is the opposite of this place. The high end floor to ceiling windows and doors on all sides make it super bright and airy to enjoy the perfect view, breeze and sound sound of waves crashing. We prefer not seeing other homes and love privacy and this place has it without being far from town (am/pm has craft bottled beer if you forget to pick up in Rivas). There are walkable sandy spots from the house, good fishing, and the pools were excellent. The help and service from Yasmina and Armando was top notch and we really appreciated all of their help. And Ksenia is a fantastic host. Unfortunately, many hosts with homes like this can be overly cautious and intrusive, but Ksenia balances help and privacy perfectly. She is a super host. We rent amazing homes all over, and this is top 3 all time for us (probably tied for #1 with a place on Kauai) if we really compare. Rent and have an amazing time.

Like everyone else mentioned the pictures don’t do this place justice! Loved the home and more importantly the experience the home provides. Jasmine the housekeeping is phenomenal and cooks well ! The natives were great, coordinating activities and getting around San Juan was a breeze.

I have been to many houses in San Juan del sur, and none compare to this one the interior design is incredible. You have anything you can want or need as far as appliances, Ksenia is great host available to help and accommodate your special request.  The view is amazing. The house caretakers are also wonderful Armando and jasmine they are ready to help at anyway possible From organizing your privet belongings to cooking up your favorite meal. Hands down Rocas y Olas is a 5 star experience. Thanks again Ksenia for hosting.

Everything was perfect! The house is better than the pictures Perfect for a family trip.

Rocas y Olas is a great home to enjoy and simply relax. Everything you need is there. The staff is great and very attentive. Ksenia is a great host, responds quickly and is always available for you. The cleanliness and design are top notch. Our family of four enjoyed the pools' and views very much.  I recommend Rocas y Olas for your SanJuan vacation. Will definitely return again.

Wow. Where do we start. A group of 6 of us ranging in age from 23-53 stayed here for 7 nights and it was absolutely amazing. The house is even better than it looks in the pictures, and the caretakers are extremely nice people and great at their jobs. Ksenia is very responsive to any questions you may have and very useful for some local tips/things to do. San Juan Del Sur is a beautiful place, and staying at this amazing house made it even better. We had an awesome time and the house is unbeatable!
