Location, comfort and beauty in San Juan del Sur - Houses for Rent in San Juan del Sur, Rivas, Nicaragua

Brigida, is a great and responsive hostess. Unique and historic house.

My family and I spent our week at this home in San Juan. Brigida was responsive and helpful through the whole booking process. The house was everything we hoped it would be an more. The onsite staff was there to great us, assist with unloading luggage, and show us around the home. They were always extremely friendly and willing to give us pointers of things to do around the city. The home itself was comfortable and just right for the group of 9. We never felt like we were crowded and the common areas were more than large enough for us to all hang out. I will certainly return to this home in the future.

Our group had an amazing stay at this home! The property is beautiful and well-maintained. Marvin and his family, who live on-site, were very helpful with recommendations and arranging transportation when needed. The location is also fantastic. I highly recommend this home to anyone visiting San Juan Del Sur.

William, que alegria nos da saber que tuviste una linda estadia y que disfrutaste de la arquitectura de nuestra bella casa. Te esperamos en otra oportunidad!

Amazing Home. Marvin was there 24/7 for us. Definitely recommend!!!! Tho i do wish they told us that using the AC at full blast uses about 100kw of energy a day. Keep that in mind, and this place is a gem!!

Great stay, only complaint is having to monitor the electricity use. For the amount we paid this was frustrating.

Anahi, generalmente los turistas que nos visitan de EEUU y Europa estan acostumbrados a dejar aires y calefaccion encendida todo el tiempo, ya que en esos paises el costo de la electricidad o de gas es razonable. En el caso de nuestro pais, la energia tiene un costo mas alto. Por ello es que a todos nuestros huespedes y, en especial a los que nos visitan del exterior, les hacemos la recomendacion de apagar abanicos y  aires acondicionados si no los estan usando. En el caso de la familia de Anahi, por ejemplo, el consumo estuvo por debajo de la cantidad de KW que incluimos en la renta.  Lo siento si nuestra recomendacion les generó stress. Deberia ser tomada como lo que es: una recomendacion.

This is by far the nicest house I have ever rented on Airbnb. The house was first of all very beautiful,  very large and clean.  Architecturally stunning, and filled with memorabilia from the owners family who must have been into shipping before WWII. Nicaragua is very hot but the house was built to breathe.   Much of the indoor portions of the house were wide open to the outside.   All of the bedrooms were air-conditioned.   The house is built on 6 tiers leading up a mountain.  Each level of the house is a separate tier.  The house never felt too hot because there were 6 or 7 different spots throughout the house and outdoor patios were you could sit and gather together and avoid the sun.  The house is a block and a half from the ocean in San Juan Del Sur, and you can hear the waves.  There is plenty of parking.  The house is gated and guests are given a key fob to open close the gates.  All of the restaurants and nightlife of San Juan Del Sur are walking distance, as is the beach.

Ira, muchas gracias por tus lindos comentarios tan detallados sobre la arquitectura de nuestra casa, los detalles que hemos ido coleccionando y que sirven de decoracion y tambien por el ambiente que se respira. Muchas Gracias! Los esperamos nuevamente.

This was beyond a traditional Airbnb experience, as it was the best of Airbnb partnered with what felt like the service and concierge of a resort. You are truly immersed in San Juan del Sur here. You will see lots of local wildlife (we saw a turquoise browed motmot). Roberta and Marvin were the kindest, most welcoming people during the entire stay. They gave us recommendations and helped organize transport for our activities. The food they made was amazing - we will all dream about the fish tacos. The house is relaxing and even better than the pictures make it look! We will definitely be coming back!

Mil gracias Maura por tus lindos comentarios. Compartire con Marvin y Roberta sus agradecimientos y elogios. Los esperamos nuevamente con todo el gusto del mundo!!!

Ericka was very responsive…and Martin and Roberta made the experience so wonderful! They were helpful and great to have around! The pool and outdoor space is beautiful and it is walkable to everything in town!

Verdaderamente me asombra y me quedo con la duda sobre el comentario de falta de veracidad en la información brindada. Se que Lindsay se sintió incómoda por el cobro hecho por articulos rotos y cobro adicional que se le hizo por su excesivo consumo eléctrico. Pero, fuimos cuidadosos en darle cada semana el consumo que estaban haciendo para que el cobro final no fuera una sorpresa.

We had a fantastic experience at Ericka's place. Incredible service, amenities and location. Ericka, Marvin and Roberta went above and beyond to make sure our stay was excellent. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Muchas gracias!!

Gracias Marja por tus comentarios! siempre bienvenidos en nuestro espacio.

La Mar/Casa Holmann exceeded our family’s expectations. To start, our host Brigida Ericka was very attentive and the homes personnel Marvin and Roberta were exceptional. They accommodated our needs and were always available showing us the true Nicaraguan spirit. Secondly, the house is very unique and private. The house is adorned with history and the design is one of a kind. You feel like you’re in the jungle but then realize you’re in San Juan del Sur, next to the beach. In regards to location, it is fantastic as it is about a two minute walk to the beach, a minute to the park and a few minutes away from restaurants and stores. My family and I have stayed at a few Airbnb’s and this is by far the best experience in terms of the house itself and the services provided. The experience was memorable and we hope to stay there again in the future. We highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a unique experience and exceptional services.

Que gusto nos dan tus comentarios! De verdad que estamos muy agradecidos por ellos y contentos de saber que volverana nuestra casa, nuestro pueblo y nuestro pais. Los recibiremos con igual dedicacion.

The location is perfect, close to the beach, the house is spectacular and the service is unbeatable! A definitely very special place!

La ubicación es perfecta cerca de la playa, la casa es espectacular y la atención inmejorable! un lugar definitivamente muy especial!

Agradecemos que aprecien nuestro espacio y nuestras atenciones! Nos vemos pronto...

Host was amazing and made sure we had all required information well in advance before traveling. House was incredible and the house manager was fantastic! Some Of the best food on our trip was the BBQ at the house our first night!

The house is amazing! We enjoyed the pool and outdoor spaces and the bedrooms were all comfortable. Marvin and Roberta took great care of us and we especially enjoyed the breakfast every morning. Thank you for a great stay!

OMGOODNESS!!!  This was maybe THE BEST AirBNB experiences we’ve ever had.   From Ericka helping to make it possible on a quick booking to Marvin and Roberta as our host/hostess to the incredible periphery - this was a kings paradise.  Close to everything.  The other locations would but have given us half the enjoyment of experiencing San Juan del Sur.  God willing - we will return to this place to be pampered and spoiled by these wonderful folks.

Nos sentimos muy halagados por tus comentarios y satisfechos de que su paso por nuestro hermoso puerto de San Juan del Sur les haya dejado una buena experiencia. Ya saben cómo encontrarnos! los esperamos nuevamente.

This home exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we walked in we felt at home, the decor is beautiful and inviting, every room is designed with attention to detail. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could ever need. The beds are comfortable and the linens just make you want to stay in bed all day. The house is located in a perfect spot in San Juan, close to every shop and restaurant but also nestled in the trees, which is lovely! The caretakers of the property Marvin and Roberta are incredible people. They are so helpful and kind. They keep the house and grounds in perfect condition. We would stay at any property they maintained. Roberta cooks the most amazing food, we would definitely recommend booking her for a few breakfasts and meals. Marvin helped us unload and reload our suitcases, he went above and beyond. We can not say enough good about them, maybe the best people we’ve met in Nicarugua.

Gregg, muchisimas gracias por tus comentarios sobre  nuestro equipo de trabajo y sobre nuestra casa. Nos sentimos muy contentos de que nuestro esfuerzo por los detalles y atenciones sea valorado por ustedes y los hayan hecho sentir ën casa". Los esperamos nuevamente y confiamos en que será muy pronto.

Far and Away the BEST Air BnB I Have Found in San Juan del Sur! Our host Ericka and her staff are all 5 star! From the Ceviche upon arrival to the amazing fresh fruit, breads and coffee served in the morning, you will want for nothing here. Super secure with onsite 24/7 care - and you could tell quite obviously the staff all do care deeply about the house, grounds and customers. The house itself is amazing and spotless with a TON of space indoors and out. Great pool. Unbelievable architecture. Literally two blocks from the action, yet secluded enough to feel like you're not even in the city. I didn't even know that was possible in SJDS. Walking distance to anything the town has to offer and Ericka and her crew can arrange day trips and more so you don't get stuck paying those tourist markups. Amazing! The value can not be beat. I have quite literally paid twice as much for similar sized group rentals in SJDS and left half as happy. I live half time in Nicaragua. My girlfriend and I travel to SJDS at least once a month - especially if we have guests visiting from up North. I have stayed at many, many locations in this town over the last 5 years and as much fun as we always have, we generally leave our rental feeling a little priced gouged, under-cared for and even mislead on a couple of occasions. Never again! This will DEFINITELY be the only place I rent in SJDS moving forward. I was jokingly tentative to write such a glowing review, because I know this little gem of a find will be tough for me to rent again in the future. The perfect stay in SJDS. Rent with 100% confidence.

I didn't met Erika, but she made everything possible for us to have a nice stay at the house. Marvin and Roberta in the house are very nice and made everything to make our stay comfortable.

Gracias Nicolás por tus palabras. Nos sentimos contentos de se hayan sentido comodos y bienvenidos en nuestra casa. Saludos a ti y a tu familia.

The house is beautiful and location is great. There is a couple that live there that look after the interior and exterior pool etc. Full functional kitchen. Always kept clean.

A historic, mid-century, architectural gem located downtown SJDS. Ericka was an attentive host who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable (her family’s ceviche recipe is divine!). We booked a week to celebrate a birthday and the lovely house staff, Marvin and Roberta, looked after us daily to ensure our group was comfortable. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back.

Gracias Paulina! Nos alegran mucho tus comentarios.  Siempre a la orden...

It is a place you wish you can go back to.

We can't say enough about our amazing experience at Ericka's home. Absolutely everything from our communication in the months leading up to the trip (Ericka arranged food and wine for us before our arrival,) to the spectacular daily care and attention we received from Marvin and Roberta, was truly beyond expectation. Marvin especially, was an amazing host, he helped us book shuttles to a private beach; walked us up to the statue; and even escorted us to our catamaran tour (which he also arranged). The house is even bigger than it seems with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. It feels, (and is!) so safe that someone actually slept outside one night. It features a lovely view of the bay, among its many many other amenities. The location of the house is a perfectly short walk to the beach and any other activities you might want to try. The town is full of a variety of bars and restaurants which all have amazing food and cocktails (as a bonus, very affordable too). The surrounding beaches are lovely, we highly suggest asking about Vyron's catamaran trip out to Playa Blanca; the burgers at Beach House; frozen cappuccinos at Hotel Estrella; sea food platters at El Timon; and basically anything else Marvin recommends to you! Ericka and Marvin were incredible hosts and we can't wait to return to Casa Holmann and would very highly recommend this home to anyone.

Katelyn, thank you so much for your review! We're happy to have had you as a guest, too. We are very glad that you enjoyed our house, our town and Playa Hermosa.  I heard that someone was talking about wedding :) ... We are ready to organize it in Playa Hermosa ... it would be nice! Don't you think?  We hope you come back soon...

Very nice house, comfortable and very well located.

Muy linda casa, cómoda y muy bien ubicada.

This is one of the best places i have  ever rented. Location was incredibly convinient. Just a two minute walk from Downtown. Highly recommended!!!!!
