Beachfront vacation rentals in Playa Marsella

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.

We had a very nice stay at Casa Pocahontas and felt right at home. The house is decorated with a lot of love and is located about 10-15 minutes walk from Playa Maderas. We spent a lot of time in the open living area with the huge terrace. A great place to relax, read a book or watch the wildlife in the jungle. The kitchen, bathroom and bedroom were well equipped. There was even a yoga mat and blackrolls. If we had any questions, Sebastian was always available and due to the keybox the check in/out was very flexible and uncomplicated. We can only recommend the Casa and would definitely come back again.

Lovely place , beautiful views , we were 6 people and it was spacious enough, it was a great place to spare a few nights 👌🏻

We had a great stay at this Airbnb in San Juan del Sur. The location could not be better—just one block from the beach and within walking distance to the best restaurants, the malecón, and a small marina area. It is in a mixed neighborhood, but that is something quite typical for Nicaragua and adds to the local charm. If you come with realistic expectations, this place is truly a great option. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including air conditioning, which was a huge plus, and a small kitchenette for simple meals. One of the best parts was the convenience of having a small pulpería (local store) right next door. The lady who runs it also handles the keys and was incredibly helpful at any time, day or night. It felt like staying in a real community. Victoria was super friendly and always available to answer questions. Her presence next door made things even easier, and we could get anything we needed directly from her store. We definitely plan to return!

I loved Maria's place, not only was it nice and cozy, it was very clean, and you were nice and secluded. the place is pristine. It looks exactly like the photos. Maria was very responsive and want to help. She got me in contact with everyone needed to make my vacation even better. The people there are very friendly. I will definitely come back here. My time in Popoyo was made.

Bella’s place was absolutely beautiful — we stayed for a week and felt right at home. The location is perfect, just a short walk from Beginner’s Bay, an ideal spot for surfing, and conveniently next door to The Salty Koala, a cozy and welcoming restaurant where we ended up grabbing late-night bites more than once. The space itself is stylish, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. A special shoutout to Petrona who had a contagious smile and was super helpful with upkeep during our stay. We’re already looking forward to booking again next year! One thing to note for remote workers: the Wi-Fi can be a bit spotty at times and there were a few short power cuts during our stay. It didn’t impact our vacation, but something to keep in mind if you need a super reliable connection. Otherwise, it’s an A+++ stay.

Very nice stay! thanks to omar & the housekeeper jose, which always helpef us out, if we needed something. The facilities are great, especially the pool and the kitchen. Would stay there again!

Had the most wonderful time at Jean and Coco’s beautiful Airbnb! It’s a luxurious stay that still maintains the vibe of this beautiful country. The property manager on site helped us with everything we needed and answered any questions we had. You’re so close to the beach which felt like a private oasis! If you’re thinking of staying in the area you should definitely book this Airbnb!!

Freek was an amazing host. He helped us understand the surf breaks, helped tell us where to rent vehicles, and also helped with restaurants. He was great. The staff in the Amahula resort were awesome too! This house is beautiful and the pool makes the trip 10x better. There is amazing privacy inside and outside of this house. With a nice living space inside as well as a great patio and pool outside…and outdoor showers. And right next to it you can go to the bar to hang out! Right out front is the beach. Amazing surf breaks within walking distance. Nothing short of awesome, we hope to be back!

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.

Helen and Lee are fantastic hosts. Their apartment was exactly as described and the images bang on. Messaging Helen and Lee was an absolute breeze. We never had to wait for a response which is great when you don't have roaming cell service and wifi can be limited outside the apartment. The apartment itself was very comfortable and really clean and had everything we needed. The grounds and pool were beautiful and very well kept. I would absolutely stay there again. Thank you Helen and Lee.

It was lovely staying at Mary Jane’s home in SJDS. It was our first time in the town, and luckily we were there during Semana Santa (week leading up to Easter) and we love to partake in the nightlife scene! There was tons to do and the Nicas definitely know how to have a good time. It was great that the home was in the heart of town yet it was quiet and secluded in its own way. The pool was refreshing and fun, especially after a hot day. The nearby restaurant Dale Pues quickly became our go-to, with its delicious food and low prices. Mary Jane was very helpful in setting up transportation, excursions, and restaurant recommendations. We loved going to Ometepe and Playa Hermosa. Thanks Mary Jane!!

Joyce’s was kind and communicative

This was a great find! We really enjoyed San Juan del Sur, and this was a good spot to feel out of the way from the hustle and bustle of town. The pool was amazing, and the views were incredible!! The drive in was a little difficult weaving around parked vehicles, and also had a very steep drive in (this was mentioned in other reviews, so not entirely unexpected.) These aren't entirely within Karin's control, so we understand that. It would have been nice to know about the 15Kwh per day energy budget beforehand, though as far as we know we didn't exceed it. Given how much the sun beats into the windows during the day, it got very hot inside, and we felt like we couldn't use the AC as much as we'd have liked to. Overall, we would definitely recommend the Loft to other travelers coming to the area who are looking to be set up outside of downtown. It's a good value for the money.

Casa Pura Vista was so good to us! The location within Rancho Santana is both unique and convenient. We loved being entirely secluded yet having the amenities of a world class resort. Everything was easy to manage from booking airport transfers to offsite tours. Daniel and his contacts make your stay easy and comfortable. We surfed, saw sea turtle hatchlings, rode horseback, ziplined, and made the best family memories in the infinity pool. The house itself is well appointed with all the comforts of a modern home. Would highly recommend and absolutely stay again.

If you are looking for a private oceanfront accommodation, I recommend this place. It is quiet, spacious, and has a comfortable atmosphere. The ocean is within walking distance, and you can use the resort's facilities, such as restaurants! If you are looking for the most beautiful beach in Nicaragua, I recommend this place.

Great little spot right on the water. Great location, private, clean and with a great aesthetic. Dominic was a super accommodating host as well. I already rented it again next month😂. Thanks Dom!

We have no words for the 10 days we spent in this paradise! Starting with Carolina, a beautiful and wild soul, thank you for giving us the opportunity to get to know this house. The house is better than in the photographs, everything perfect, private beach. A unique experience.

The location was super beautiful! We loved hanging out on the balcony. At night we heard a bunch of howler monkeys which was cool. Would stay again.

Mar was a wonderful host, always responsive. The apartment was comfortable and its proximity to the beach made the vacation peaceful and serene. Will be coming back here when we return to San Juan.

Everything was great! Jennifer was very attentive to my messages ! The kitchen needs a little more equipment.

I felt very comfortable in the Salitre. I was even allowed to put my belongings in the fridge before checking in. The house is spacious, well furnished and has everything you need. It is only a 2-minute walk to the beach. I thought it was great that I was able to bring my small dog easily. The managers take care of them warmly. Overall, I felt very comfortable in the house. I'd love to come back to Salitre...

This place is an absolute gem! If you're looking for a peaceful escape and a genuinely good time, this is the spot. Carolina is a fantastic host—thoughtful, responsive, and incredibly welcoming. Her amazing team is always available and quick to respond to any needs, which made us feel completely at ease. Most importantly, we felt safe and cared for the entire time. Skip the crowded hotels and lodges around San Juan—this is where you want to be. We'll be coming back every chance we get!

That’s a perfect house for all surfers to stay at. It is located 2-3 min walk from the Maderas Beach, arguably one of the best places to catch dope waves in Nicaragua. Dunia was always very proactive and quick to reply. The place itself matches the description. I stayed there for a couple of nights and will definitely come back again.
