Family-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Nicaragua

It was a quiet place to rest and have fun, the pool is very comfortable and the place is super clean.

Nice location just outside of the business of San Juan! Clean comfortable apartment. The owner Jan-Luc was very kind and quick to respond

A+ book it don’t hesitate. A dream home in a dream location. We had such a wonderful stay at this jungle hideaway! The property is absolutely stunning—completely surrounded by lush greenery and peaceful nature. Waking up to the sounds of the jungle and the breathtaking views each morning was honestly magical. The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It felt like the perfect escape from the busyness of everyday life. We had a great time relaxing, exploring, and just soaking in the beauty around me. Would definitely come back and already recommending it to friends.

Wonderful place, with a spectacular view! The statue of Christ is super close to Malibu and the host was also super helpful in recommending local restaurants with a 20% discount :) They’re super attentive when it comes to any inquiries or maintenance questions. However, I will say that there were a lot of bugs outside so I recommend bringing repellent. Its location is not that inclined like most places in San Juan, so that was another upside to it. Great location, great staff, great place ❤️

Excellent place always come back every time I visit San Juan del Sur

Equilibrio was all that I hoped for and more. The owners, James and Gabriela have put much thought into the experience, anticipating what might delight their guests. There was plenty of space to relax, create, read, meditate, play, and enjoy the jungle, river, and beach. The casitas are fenced off from each other to create large, private jungle "yards." The 15 acre retreat is near town, but secluded, and each large casita has its own sizable part of the whole. I loved our "Guitar" casita which brings the best parts of the outside in -- the jungle view, the bird sounds, the breezes, and leaves out the bugs and rain. Heaven. The mosquito netting walls simply disappear. Our casita had plenty of bottled water, a refrigerator, coffee maker, coffee and tea, a closet room, and a large bathroom with a door that leads to a spacious, private, luxurious, solar-heated outdoor shower. We also had a private palapa with hammocks and rocking chairs. Outside our fence, down the trail was a larger shared space with more hammocks and rockers that was also the main gathering place/dining room/performance space. The staff is nearly invisible, but always there when you need them, smiling and helpful, serving food and drinks. The food was outstanding, featuring local vegetables, fruit smoothies and juices. The resort is not directly on the beach, but a short, bird-watching boat ride from the beach. Canoes and kayaks are available for exploration of the river estuary and trips to the beach. Daily yoga was included in our package and was not to be missed. Three days of the week we were at the studio on Popoyo beach where we could listen to the waves and gaze at the horizon. The beach is huge, beautiful, and empty. The lovely yoga studio at Equilibrio was a large palapa with a wood floor and mosquito netting all around that can be unfurled, if needed. Our teacher, Brook was wonderful, tailoring classes to our needs. We loved her classes and also managed to squeeze in some private sessions. Equilibrio is a treat, far away from the touristy parts, with nature all around and thoughtful service. Many thanks to James, Gabriela, and Brook for creating such a serene retreat experience and for the fantastic yoga. I hope to return soon.

We were lucky to book this place in San Juan. A real gem a short walk from town with great access to everything. The house is incredible with everything that you need to have a great time - jacuzzi, BBQ, amazing kitchen all surrounded by incredible views. if you book with Tanguy, you will not be disappointed! Thanks again

The house was nicer in person then in the pictures, which is saying a lot since I got it for that reason. Great stay, and very close to San Juan

My friends and I had a great time at the house it had everything we needed and the Property Caretaker Don Pedro was very helpful and pleasant. I would highly recommend Violetas house to stay in San Juan del Sur.

Jim’s place was beautiful, clean and private ! Great getaway ! Jim was very responsive and very attentive! 100 percent recommended.

Nice and peaceful place! Great apartment to stay a bit away from the loud city. We will be back.

Corrin and Jacq were exceptional hosts. Always present and super attentive. The house, in turn, is perfect: excellent location, equipped with everything you need (and a little more) and extremely comfortable and pleasant. It was an amazing experience, which I recommend to everyone (especially those who surf, in view of the two “world class” waves located inside the condominium).

The place is beautiful, and has all the amenities you might need

Unbelievable Ocean View Home with Resort Amenities, Perfectly Located! We had the pleasure of staying in this stunning home, just a block away from town and four blocks from the beach. The ocean views from the property are truly unbelievable! Every morning, we were greeted with breathtaking panoramas that made each day special. The home is located in a private, safe and quiet gated community which offers resort-like amenities including a full time concierge, a club house, snack bar and swimming pool, outdoor gym, co-working space and even chef and massage services, that added an extra touch of luxury to our stay. The proximity to both the town and beach was incredibly convenient, allowing us easy access to local shops, restaurants, and seaside activities without needing to drive. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a luxurious escape with exceptional views and prime location!

This place was beautiful! And the staff there were very friendly and helpful, and not to mention they went above and beyond to make sure we were accommodated to the max! Will definitely come back and stay at this place again!!

Beautiful stay and amazing hosts! Cannot recommend enough

Great place to stay, close to everything you need.. Apartment was well stocked and comfortable!! Extremely helpful with letting me check-in early and checkout late. Would definitely stay again!!

The house is amazing, you have access to the beach right in front of you, only recommendation for anybody is to bring your own food from a local supermarket as there is an hour drive off road(4x4 recommended) after reaching san juan, the place is very private, you have the beach for yourself, the house is very clean, enough rooms, and spacious. Local housekeeper was very useful as he can go buy you items at extra cost while you enjoy your time, final score 10/10.

The host Mary Jane was absolutely amazing. The Airbnb was beautiful, the photos did not do it justice. The house was roomy and the decor was very nice. It was in a closed off gate and private with a guard on duty every night. Mary sent so many awesome recommendations for us to go and eat. She even arranged taxis for us and was super responsive. She was very nice with my family and personable, she remembered every little details about them and accommodated my grandmother. I will definitely be back and I couldn’t recommend her enough! 10/10 experience

We loved staying at Antonio's beautiful home. Well stocked kitchen & living room, super comfy bedrooms & the AC worked great. Great location to wander & shop and loved the dipping pool to cool off at the end of the day. The layout was great because the bedrooms were in the back away from traffic and the kitchen area is separated at the front so you can be noisy in the morning if everyone else is still sleeping!

Maria’s place was amazing, the view of San Juan del Sur bay was absolutely beautiful! She was incredibly communicative and attentive, always making sure we were comfortable and well-informed. We especially appreciated her guidance on electricity use, which helped us stay within the daily budget, very helpful given how energy costs work locally. Her recommendations for places to visit were spot on, and she was always ready to help. Thank you, Maria, for being such a thoughtful and welcoming host!

Casa Yula was a wonderful place to stay! The rooms were clean, spacious, and very comfortable, each with its own private bathroom. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which was a big plus during the warmer days. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Eveling, our host, was incredibly responsive and attentive—she made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The location is also a highlight. There are convenience stores and local restaurants within walking distance, which made it easy to grab meals and essentials. Since my family is originally from Granada, the location was ideal for us to connect with relatives and explore familiar places. Overall, we loved our stay at Casa Yula and would absolutely book this place again. Highly recommended for families or anyone looking for a welcoming, well-located stay in Granada!

Carmen is great to communicate with and her home is beautiful. The beach is your backyard and there was security during the duration of our trip, so we felt safe the whole time. The housekeepers made us breakfast on one of the days we were there which was great. Would definitely recommend staying here.

My wife and I loved our 2-night stay at Nel's charming country house in May 2025! It was a wonderful escape, perfect for anyone wanting to rest, enjoy nature, and hike. The house matched the photos perfectly and was well-equipped with household items for a comfortable and pleasant stay. Nel was a fantastic host – very responsive and attentive, genuinely ensuring we were comfortable. As expected in such a nature-rich, rural area, there were bugs outside and sometimes inside. While part of the charm, a bit more could be done to keep them out of the house. Overall, a very relaxing and enjoyable time. This little house is a great base for immersing in the Nicaraguan countryside and enjoying a slower pace. Highly recommended for nature lovers!
