It was a big spacious apartment 1 min from the beach with a swimmingpool that i really enjoyed both night and day. Mercedes was very friendly and helpful and i really enjoyed a peaceful and relaxed vacation in her little paradise. At same time i had my privacy and a big terrace.

Gilberto is amazing, he was very flexible with my arrival time. His place is huge, it has a lot of privacy and its very quiet. I highly recommend staying at his place, it has the perfect location. Thanks Gilberto

The grounds and garden are exquisitely cared for and it feels very private and very secure. You are completely unaware of the road behind the house. It's peaceful and the pool is lovely. The home sits in a sweet little quiet family area with a short walk down to the beach. The caretaker, Javier, was very helpful and very kind. He was there if we needed him, and wasn't around when we didn't. It worked out perfectly. There are no supplies in the home. No shampoo, no salt/pepper, etc so just be prepared and have what you need. There was bath soap provided, all linens, and a few beach towels. We were quite happy here. there are no grocery stores nearby, so stock up when you can. Masachapa is a lively little town. The caretaker, Javier, is fantastic and was incredibly helpful and kind. The house was very large.

Amazing experience! Beautiful and comfortable house, all our expectations were met. Karen was great, very responsive and kind enough to accommodate special requests.

Beautiful house. Karen answered all our questions very quickly. The caretakers were very helpful.

El jugar es un sueño, lleno todas las expectativas, limpieza, aseo, atención en el lugar de lo mejor. Me siento satisfecho, a todos nos encanto. Es un lugar para regresar, te sentís mejor que en casa.

My wife and I stayed here with three other couples on a long weekend. As we live in Nicaragua, transportation was not an issue, but we would recommend a car rental if you are coming from out of country. Get the GPS with the car or use WAZE and coordinate with Karen for the destination, etc. Once we arrived, only about an hour from Managua, we had an excellent time. Bring your food with you from the city as there are only small vendors around. You can find, beer, ice, water and other standards locally, but any major meal items you should bring. There are also a lot of options for local restaurants which can be pricey but have great seafood. Excellent, quite location removed from the activity of town. Karen was excellent at letting us know the details and was available via (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) after booking. The house is beautiful and there is beach access through a shared private park. The caretakers live on site and Javier was attentive to our every need. He offered to make an ice run for us when we arrived late Friday afternoon. The kitchen is very spacious and was perfect for being able to cook for a large party. The rooms were comfortable and the property is gated and safe. We will definitely be staying here again in the future! I would recommend booking with some foresight as communication back and forth can be slightly delayed. However, we never had any issues with arranging our stay. We also recommend being able to speak Spanish... yes, you're in Nicaragua. It always helps to be able to ask for directions and also to converse with Javier and his wife Aidalina (who are wonderful!).

We had a wonderful vacation in Karen's gorgeous home! It was even more gorgeous and larger than the pictures show. The pool is huge and has large shallow and deep parts. The bedrooms are SO nice and comfortable. The kitchen is equipped with pretty much everything that you'll need to make meals for your group each night. Javier, the caretaker, is SO nice and VERY helpful. We appreciated all of his assistance, from helping us arrange a van for a day-trip to Masaya, hooking up the gas for the BBQ, picking up ice and beer, and always making sure we were safe in the area. The photos don't show the incredible sculpture garden that lies just past the (URL HIDDEN) made sunsets even more gorgeous! My only tip is to bring earplugs, as there are parrots kept on the property and they can be very loud in the morning. But that won't keep us from hopefully returning next year for our 4th year in Masachapa! Thank you, Karen and Javier!

The host canceled this reservation 13 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Ils sont accueillants et serviables. La nourriture est très bonne. Ce qui est dommage c'est que l'eau est salée. Même si le pourcentage de sel est peu élevé , nous avons tout de même trouvé cela un peu désagréable de se doucher avec de l'eau salée.

Nous sommes très déçu du rapport qualité-prix. Les hôtes étaient sympathiques. Les choses ne sont pas au rendez-vous.

Very relaxed stay with a kind, laid-back host.

Wonderful time at Andrès hotel. Great service, excellent warm pool and wonderful company. He had the Tonà flowing with a consistent smile. His chef made the best pescado!!! Crisp, moist, over the top fresh. I Will return soon to this little gem on the pacific

Listing was accurate. Host made us feel like home.

In that paradise you feel in heaven Thanks Natalia my family and I had such a great time!

Natalia’s house is as beautiful as advertised. We stayed for three nights (Spring Break) with our 5, 7, 9, & 11 year olds. The house was clean, modern, brightly colored, and had plenty of space for us to spread out. The house matched the photos and amenities exactly as listed on the website. The towels and sheets were nice. There are a lot of decorative items, which we were able to move out of the way to ensure little hands didn’t hurt anything. The house sits above the beach but has a private staircase and locked gate. This helped ensure that we weren’t eating sand but still gave us immediate access to a soft, beautiful beach. The outdoor shower was key – since our pattern was beach, pool, read in hammock, repeat. Masachapa is an adorable town, and walking to the boat launching area and seeing the daily fisherman routine was a highlight of the morning and evenings. We never found the ping pong table, but there was plenty to keep our family entertained. The kids loved playing in the tree house, which was high enough to excite them and clean enough to make me happy. The caretakers were warm, generous people. They only speak Spanish. They were willing to help us with laundry, and made recommendations about the local area. We did upgrade and pay $15 per day to have meals prepared for us. She helped us shop, and spent approximately $60 a day for a family of six to eat three authentic meals including local fish. This was a lifesaver and I would recommend it. One note of warning: we were neurotic about the electricity – always turning off the lights, never running the AC except at night so we could sleep at the end of the dry season. Despite this, we still ran over the allotment by 25% and had to pay a $15 penalty. I can only imagine what a larger party might pay. We would definitely stay there again.

We absolutely loved this house. I was very sad to leave actually. The view was spectacular along with the layout of the home. We wish it had WiFi, but that was really the only fault. I loved waking up in the morning and coming into the kitchen, making coffee, cooking breakfast, and enjoying the spectacular views. My boyfriend was able to sleep soundly in the dark, cool bedroom without hearing any noise from the kitchen. I followed up my coffee with practicing yoga on the patio and then lengthy morning walks in the beach. The pool was just perfect for cooling off during our lazy days relaxing. Then we ended the days watching the sunsets, sipping flor de Cana, and cooking our meals. Natalie was an excellent communicator and was always there for any and all of our needs. She speaks fluent English and made everything quite easy for us. There was also a family who takes care of the house who lives in property in a separate home. They were always available but never in our way. Rent this house and slip into relaxation.

Needing improvement customer service

A sido una excelente experiencia, es una casa genial y la anfitriona muy atenta asi como la gente que cuida muy amable.

Frederick was a great host. He was incredibly responsive to all of my emails, and even gave me a call to answer questions I had about the area. The ease of working with him made me feel very comfortable renting a house in Nicaragua for the first time. He went above and beyond what I would have expected. Once we arrived at the house, our jaws dropped. It is more beautiful than the pictures show. We only stayed for two nights due to our schedule, but our entire stay was relaxing and comfortable. We popped into town a few blocks away to pick up basic food and supplies during the day, but otherwise just stayed on the house grounds and the beach...there was no reason to leave such a gorgeous setting overlooking the ocean. House was perfect was a ton of bathrooms..and very clean. They have a guard/housekeeper (Noel) that lives on the property (comforting although the area is very safe) full time. He helped us find anything we needed and gave us all the best tips about where to buy fresh fish for lunch one day. We paid extra to hire a maid named Margarita. She was also incredible and prepared our meals for the two days we stayed. This made life a lot easier and more relaxing. I highly recommend this place.

Great beach house.
