Casa Moringa 🌴 Private House w/ Pool and AC - Houses for Rent in Playa Gigante, Rivas, Nicaragua

Stayed almost 12 days at this location during our 6 weeks in Nicaragua. Very home like, had pot/pans/games/out door bbq. Very comfortable. One walkable surf location and several others drivable. I do recommend renting a vehicle in San Juan so that you can explore the other little towns. Very friendly on-site care takers.

Beautiful house in a peaceful and untouched location. You can hear howler monkeys. The pool and outdoor space are great. Very close to Gigante Beach and Amarillo. Indalecio and his partner were really nice.

Magnifique maison dans un endroit paisible et sauvage. On peut entendre des singes hurleurs. La piscine et l’espace extérieur sont super. Très près de la plage Gigante et Amarillo. Indalecio et sa conjointe étaient vraiment gentils.

Beautiful house, the caretakers were super nice, and the host was super friendly and flexible. Beautiful house… we saw lots of monkeys; my kids were delighted. Everything was clean. The pool was amazing!

Magnifique maison, les gardiens étaient super gentils, l’hôte étaient super conviviale et flexible. Superbe maison… nous avons vu beaucoup de singes, mes enfants étaient ravis. Tous était propre. La piscine wow!

Simply an amazing place to skip out on the hustle and bustle of everyday life.  Lounging around the pool while keeping a watchful eye out for the monkeys was enjoyable.  The pool was always clean and the staff are extremely friendly and approachable.  I would highly recommend staying here for some peace and quiet!!

Highly recommended place for a small group of people. Very comfortable and clean spaces. Excellent location, private but close to the beach and the village. We had an excellent stay!

Lugar súper recomendable para un grupo pequeño de personas. Espacios muy cómodos y limpios. Ubicación excelente, privado pero cerca de la playa y el pueblo. Tuvimos una estadía excelente!

Really enjoyed our stay, as a family of four. Walkable to town for food, and close to a quiet beach with beginner waves was great for my 11-year old son. Village is a mix of locals and surfers. Easy to drive to other surf spots as well (about a 15-20 minute drive to Popoyo). My son took Spanish school, which is a short walk from house.

Super nice and comfortable house. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the house was very clean. Everything was perfect

Super Bonito y comodo la casa. el ambiente es bien relajante y la casa estaba muy limpia. todo estana perfecto

Becky’s place and her beach house were simply wonderful. The house is exactly as described and offers all the necessary amenities, comfortably accommodating up to six guests. It was impeccably clean, and the pool is large enough for both children and teenagers to truly enjoy. The surroundings of the house are warm, welcoming, and very relaxing. Its location is highly strategic, with nearby restaurants, bars, and small shops where you can easily stock up on groceries and cooking supplies. We really enjoyed making hamburgers and grilling barbecues by the pool. We also loved how easy it was to quickly visit Playa Redonda, and we had the chance to explore Hacienda Iguana as well. On top of that, we enjoyed the relaxing and beautiful sunsets at Playa Gigante. We had great pizza and a truly wonderful stay throughout the entire weekend. Without a doubt, this is a place I would love to return to and enjoy another unforgettable weekend with my son.

Our stay was ideal. Comfortable house, nice place, close to the beach and you can enjoy the pool. Our host was very attentive and the people who welcomed us were very friendly. Ready to come back 😎

Nuestra estancia fue la ideal. Casa cómoda, lindo lugar, cerca de la playa además de disfrutar de la piscina. Nuestra anfitriona estuvo muy atenta y las personas que nos recibieron muy amables. Listo para regresar 😎

Very nice house, exactly like the publication, everything is freshly cleaned, the instructions to get there were perfect, Indalecio and his wife are so kind and helpful.

Muy linda la casa, exactamente como la publicación, todo está como recién aseado, las instrucciones para llegar fueron perfectas, Indalecio y su esposa son unos seres tan amables y serviciales.

It's amazing to stay at Moringa's house, it's very comfortable, and it has everything! The Hosts are top-notch

Es increíble quedarse en casa Moringa, es muy cómoda, y tiene de todo! Los Host son top top

We had an incredible stay at Casa Moringa. We were greeted by Indalecio and his wife when we arrived. They were wonderful. He was very helpful though out the stay. Jim and Suzie who live next door half the year were also great. The house is walking distance to town where there is multiple restaurants and a small store. Close proximity to other beach towns as well. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and we felt safe and secure. I highly recommend this place. It was clean, organized, has a great pool, WiFi, and solar so you always have power. Monkeys were very abundant. We will definitely be back this summer.  You can’t go wrong staying at this house.

Very happy to have been in Playa Gigante, Becky's house is super nice and cozy. I loved that it's surrounded by trees, I was lucky enough to see squirrels and hear the monkeys.  I would definitely choose this beautiful place again.

Muy feliz de haber estado en playa gigante, la casa de Becky es súper linda y acogedora. Me encantó que está rodeada de árboles, tuve la suerte de ver ardillas y escuchar a los monos.  Sin duda alguna volvería a elegir este precioso lugar.

We had a wonderful stay! Becky was away, but her parents were there and were so lovely and helpful. They also have the kindest most helpful groundskeepers - Indalecio and Jenny. They live right next door and were just the best! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The home is absolutely beautiful. Big thanks to Indelicio and his wife for being so hospitable. We would gladly come again.

Excellent casa, but keep in mind that the town is quite small.

Casa Moringa was even better than expected. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay including a well stocked kitchen, games, plenty of clean towels, good storage, comfy patio furniture etc. The setting was perfect, close to everything but tucked away so it felt private and peaceful. The pool was wonderful and we got to enjoy birds, howler monkeys and the neighborhood pigs! Indelecio took great care of us and ensured we had what we needed. Highly recommend Casa Moringa to anyone visiting Gigante Bay!

Great comfortable place with nice hosts. Playa Amarillo is the place to play in the water!

We had an amazing stay! The house had all the comforts of home; fantastic kitchen which had everything you need, big bathrooms and ultra comfortable beds! The grounds and pool area were gorgeous and were definitely the highlight! It was so peaceful and private - just heaven. Watching the monkeys swing up above you in the trees and listening to the birds was just magical. Indalecio was so lovely and catered to our every whim! Jim and Suzie, the owners, were an absolute delight and Becky was on top of all of our questions. We loved El Gigante, especially Redonda Bay! We will miss Luna and Charlie Max!!

We had an amazing time at Casa Moringa! The house was clean and well stocked, the pool was perfect for relaxing in between activities or trips to the beach. The house is just off the main road surrounded by trees. It’s only a two minute walk to the main road where there are several restaurants and the beautiful beach! Indalecio was very helpful with planning any activities and accommodating any requests that we had. We were sad to leave such a relaxing space, we will definitely be back!

This is my second time spending a week at this airbnb. My purpose is to visit my family. The airbnb is conveniently located to the central village and beach. It is also perfect for hosting small gatherings. After a busy day of sightseeing or being with people, quiet time in the hammock is a must. If you are lucky, you can watch the monkeys overhead or have bonding time with Luna, the dog. The couple managing the property are also so nice and helpful. I can’t wait to return.

My family had a wonderful stay at Casa Moringa. The location was perfect as you were tucked away in the woods but able to walk to two separate beaches and plenty of shops and restaurants. The house was even better in person. The pool was amazing, the rooms were comfortable, the kitchen (both inside and outside) was fully equipped, everything was spotlessly clean, and there was plenty of comfortable seating. The local host and his partner were so kind and helpful to us; they even delivered freshly made tortillas daily for us. We had a wonderful time in Playa Gigante, and the Case Moringa was definitely the highlight of our stay there!

We loved Casa Moringa, the place is private, close to the beach and restaurants. The house is very comfortable, organized and clean. We welcomed Don Indalecio, he is very friendly and proactive. We are grateful to Becky for his kind attention and answer our questions before our arrival. I highly recommend it :)

Nos encantó Casa Moringa, el lugar es privado, cerca de la playa y de restaurantes. La casa es muy cómoda, organizada y limpia. Nos recibió don Indalecio, es muy amable y proactivo. Estamos agradecidos con Becky por su amable atención y responder nuestras dudas antes de nuestra llegada. Se los recomiendo :)

We stayed at Becky's place with our two kids (ages 9 and 5) and had a lovely time.  We loved the outdoor area with the pool and outdoor kitchen.  The house is very well equipped with everything you might need - it is obvious that a lot of thought has gone into the small details.    Indalecio helped us to buy fresh shrimp which we cooked on the outdoor bbq.  The surf beach is about a 10 minute walk away.  Highly recommend Becky's if you are in Playa Gigante.

Becky and Indalecio were amazing hosts. Will be back for sure!

My son and I had a lovely time at Casa Moringa. The home is beautiful - surrounded by tropical trees and butterflies. My son loved swimming in the pool. It’s a great location with lots of privacy and very close to the beach and good restaurants. Becky was a wonderful host and helped us with local recommendations - including horse back riding on the beach which was a highlight! I’ve spent a lot of time travelling in Nicaragua over the last ten years and this is by far one of my favourite places I’ve stayed.

We loved Casa Moringa, everything was perfect, great location, just a few steps from the ocean and restaurants! If you want to have a good time, this is the place to stay with your family! I highly recommend Casa Moringa! Hasta pronto !

Becky's place was lovely, very close to the beach. Loads of wildlife, howler monkeys climbing around the trees near the pool, butterflies everywhere. The house is located in a very beautiful and relaxing area. The pool was really lovely and we used it a lot! The caretaker, Indalecio was very resourceful and pleasent, he drove my husband to Rivas for groceries and was really helpful in a power cut situation where my husband needed to make a work call, he found a bar with a generator and drove my husband there so he could make the call. Becky's communication was great for our whole stay and while we didn't get the chance to meet her, she seemed very friendly. There are power cuts every now and then and the longest one was overnight for about 9 hours but I guess this is pretty normal for remote areas in Nicaragua. Also the village is quite remote so if you don't have your own transport it can be tricky to get around, we used local taxi's.

We feel so lucky to have found the best lodging in El Gigante, along with the best most friendly hosts and caretaker, and his dog. The home is tastefully decorated, and provided ample supplies. The pool is absolutely perfect and was cleaned every day. We loved all the animals that came by around the neighborhood. Great little town, walkable. Would definitely rent here again, and we were sad to leave.

The house is spectacular as shown in the photos, the person who received us was super friendly and was always attentive and helped us when we occupied it. We feel very comfortable with the house and my daughter fully enjoy the pool

La casa es espectacular tal cual como en las fotos, la persona que nos recibió fue súper amable y siempre estuvo pendiente y nos ayudó cuando lo ocupamos. Nos sentimos muy a gusto con la casa y mi hija disfruto al máximo la piscina

Private home with great amenities. Walkable to beaches and restaurants. Staff on site was convenient and helpful. Definitely recommend you stay here if you’re going to the area.

Very nice house, perfect for a family of 4. Swimming pool, BBQ, well equiped kitchen. Meters from the beach but far enough from the roosters :)

Super good location, pleasant climate and everything impeccable!

Súper buena ubicación, clima agradable y todo impecable!

Absolutely wonderful spot, the true gem of Gigante! Can wait to stay again!

Casa Moringa was an absolute treat. This was our first visit to Nicaragua and El Gigante delivered. The place is well designed with everything you need. The shower and pool are great after surf sessions and easy access make it great for day trips. Also, Indalecio is an excellent local resource who makes you feel right at home. Best spot in the area by far!

This house was exactly what we wanted. The pool and indoor and outdoor kitchen were great and it was a close walk to everything. perfect for a family or small group of friends.

Excellent acommodations for the area. The on site cuidador (Indeliceo) was great.

We really enjoyed our stay here!  Loved the pool, and short walk to the beach.  The on-site caretaker, Indalacio was great and any concern was taken care of.  He speaks great English, but was great to practice our Spanish with.  Felt secure, safe and really it’s the perfect location!  Will be back for sure!

This was by and large the best AirBNB or accomodation we have stayed in. Becky was so easy to coordinate and book with. The full time on site care taker, Indilicio, was so thorough, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. We spent literally HOURS per day hanging out in the pool and bbq at the outdoor bar. The kitchen was more equipped than our kitchen at home, and the beds and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. The place was perfect for our family of 4. Playa Gigante is such a charming little town, with lots to do and good places to eat. Our kids couldn't get enough of the pigs and cows roaming through the town. Truly a hidden gem. We are already planning our return to Casa Moringa next year.

A place to be at peace and harmony with family and nature. Beautiful fully equipped house.

Un lugar para estar en paz y armonía con la familia y la naturaleza. Preciosa casa full full equipada.

Great place, clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed. Gigante is a quiet, sleepy town but had an awesome vibe. We loved it! Thanks for opening your home

Amazing place, the house it’s just what I needed and Amarillo Beach it’s incredible  for walking, swimming and relaxing. The house is really comfortable for groups of 4  people and the service and attentions provided by Becky and her staff it’s just amazing. I’m definitely coming back!!!

This is a well designed and well equipped home away from home. My husband and I travelled with a friend of ours and it was perfect to have our own space and also have the shared space of the kitchen and pool! The outside kitchen was a wonderful amenity. Indalecio and Angela were always available to help or answer questions and kept the pool and deck tidy. They live next door and yet are not intrusive. We would definitely recommend this stay and would come again.

We had the most amazing time at Casa Moringa. It was the most well equipped Airbnb we have ever stayed at! Becky Scott Jim and Suzie are the most gracious hosts and we are so happy to have met them. Indalecio and Angela are also wonderful, they are super nice and helpful. Indalecio pretty much knows everyone in town and provides some great recommendations for fresh fish and surf boards. Thank you to all of you for an amazing stay, we will be back for sure and will also happily send our friends and family your way!!

This place was beautiful and peaceful exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much to Becky for hosting and to Indalecio for receiving us.. we had such a great time ..

excellent from the service to the amenities of the property, cozy and with a lot of soul

excelente desde la atención hasta las amenidades de la propiedad, acogedor y con mucha alma

The house is perfect for a trip to paradise. Walking distance to everything the pueblo has to offer. The care taker will make you feel right at home and you won't want to leave.

Thank you for everything Becky! Spectacular the house, the place, your housekeeper and all the conditions! My husband and I will definitely be back soon! Amarillo Beach we loved it and overall had a great time! We liked the cleanliness of the place, everything very well thought out to have a relaxed and we loved enjoying the pool area with a barbecue and bar! Thanks again!

Gracias x todo Becky! Espectacular la casa, el lugar, tu housekeeper y todas las condiciones! Definitivamente mi esposo y yo regresaremos pronto! La playa Amarillo nos encantó y en general la pasamos muy bien! Nos gusto la limpieza del lugar, todo muy bien pensado para pasarla relajado y nos encanto disfrutar la zona de la piscina con un asado y la barra! Muchas gracias nuevamente!

We had a wonderful stay at Becky’s home! The pool was amazing and the home was very cozy. My family and I had a wonderful time! Thank you Becky!

Excellent in every way, totally recommended. I'm sure we'll be back

Excelente en todos los sentidos, totalmente recomendada. Seguro volveremos

We had a wonderful week in Casa Moringa. We loved the house with its space and style and enjoyed the pool, the terrace and the nature all around. Indalecio and Angela did everything to let us feel welcome, safe and comfortable. The comunication with Becky was very pleasant and fast. El Gigante is a perfect place to relax, enjoy the beaches and to get in contact with the friendly people there. Live in el Gigante is very simple, enjoy it! If you are looking for a lot of shops and turists you are wrong. We recommend also to learn Spanish in „Pie de Gigante“ school. Hope we will come back soon!

Great comfortable spot. Steps from the beach. Pool and side bar makes for a perfect hangout. I’ll be back for sure.

It is a small but comfortable house,  surrounded by trees, you can hear the birds , to go to the sea you have to walk about 50nts.

Es una casa pequeña, pero cómoda,  rodeada de árboles, podes escuchar los pajaritos , para ir al mar hay que caminar unos 50nts.

6 stars out of 5, Casa Moringa is amazing! The pictures don't do it justice, it's even better in person, and the location is top notch- just a quick walk to both the restaurants in town and our fave local beach break to surf, Playa Amarillo :) I had the best time lounging in the hammocks, hanging out in the pool, and doing yoga on the deck. There's a fully stocked kitchen too if you want to cook! My sister and I would cook breakfast and lunch, and go out to eat for dinner. Becky was super communicative and responsive, and the caretakers of the house Indalecio and Angela were warm and wonderful. We left the caretakers a tip at the end of our stay and hope others might consider it too, as they really made our stay great! One thing to note for lighter sleepers is to bring ear plugs, as the pizza place down the street, El Pozo, becomes an informal club of sorts on weekends and the loud music can run till pretty late at night. I had ear plugs and they worked great for me!

Everything was excellent, stay, spaces, pool, and mainly the tranquility.

Excelente todo, estancia, espacios, piscina, y principalmente la tranquilidad.

I really recommend this house. It’s full equipped, comfort, clean and neat. Also the staff is very nice. 10/10 .

quiet place well located, highly recommended for spending time as a family

lugar tranquilo bien sitiado, muy aconsejable para pasar en familia

Nice & clean, comfy beds & and on-site staff amazing.

This is a really beautiful and cosy place for my family trip. Mrs. Becky is really nice and having a good conversation with me and caretakers are being helpful as well. The beach has a good landscape and a suitable waves for playing by kids. I recommend this house for a family trip!

Comfortable house, excellent service and you feel at home

Casa cómoda, excelente atención y uno se siente en casa

excellent place, very attentive staff, we had an incredible vacation, I definitely recommend this place. We hope to return soon.

excelente lugar, personal muy atento, pasamos unas vacaciones increíbles, sin duda recomiendo este lugar. esperamos regresar pronto.

this house is very clean and comfortable. During staying with my family, we felt very cozy and safe. The couples who take care of the house are so kind. we are so thankful to them and house owner Becky. I hope that we will go back to stay soon or later

It's a very nice place, the house is super comfortable and warm, you definitely have to go back

Es un lugar bien bonito, la casa súper cómoda y cálida, definitivamente hay que volver

The house was lovely and in excellent condition! Very well equipped. Super cozy

La casa me estaba encantadora y con excelentes condiciones! Muy bien equipada. súper acogedora

Casa Moringa is excellent for family vacations, the house is comfortable, everything is very clean and tidy. The pool is small, perfect for small groups or family with children. The people who take care of the place are very friendly and do not invade your space.

Casa Moringa es excelente para pasar vacaciones en familia, la casa es cómoda, todo muy limpio y ordenado. La piscina es pequeña, perfecta para grupos pequeños o familia con niños. Las personas que cuidan el lugar son muy amables y no invaden tu espacio.

A house just minutes from the beach, a private space, comfortable and in line with nature.

Una casa a pocos minutos de la playa, un espacio privado, comodo y a juego con la naturaleza.

The house is well equipped for a short stay for 4 people. It was a lil smaller than I expected however it was super comfortable, very clean and everything seemed relatively new. The outdoor area is spacious with its bar area, lounge chairs and pool and we spent most of our time there accompanied by various delightful birds and monkeys. We enjoyed our interaction with the house parrots. The house is quite close to amenities but also isolated away from immediate neighbours. The caretakers Indalecio and Angela were friendly, helpful and available at all times.

Beautiful place. Great for a family get away.

We enjoyed the rustic nature of the area. The natural jungle backdrop is  stunning while enjoying the pool and the deck. This rental had all the amenities we could ask for to make staying off the beaten path very comfortable. Becky was quick to respond and help answer any of our questions. The caretakers on site are also very helpful. We appreciated how clean and new everything is.

The service, the house and the service are the best!!

El servicio, la casa y la atención son de lo mejor!!

Cada Moringa is a wonderful stay in Playa Gigante! Quick walk to the beach, or hang out by the pool. Becky was easy to communicate with, and the couple on site were always available for questions and local tips. House has all the conveniences you need for a comfortable stay!! We hope to be back!
