Villa vacation rentals in Rivas

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!!

I absolutely fell in love with this place! The villa is beautifully situated uphill, offering a peaceful retreat while still being close to the lively, walkable areas of San Juan del Sur. While you’ll definitely need a car to get around, local taxis are also an option. One of the best perks was access to the pool, but what really made this stay extra special was the amazing hammock and outdoor seating area. It’s the perfect spot to soak in a breathtaking sunset or enjoy a peaceful sunrise with a cup of coffee. The host was incredibly accommodating and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable. I can’t wait to come back and stay here with my family! Highly recommend!

Amazing the experience staying on Katie’s Villa, the views were unique and immaculate vibes. Spacious villa with high roof. They are the fastest replying host I have ever got, Also ask for Dennys he will help you get setup you up for anything you need in town awesome and friendly local. Can’t wait to come back and stay here again. This was an unforgettable experience. Thank you for everything Katie & Jake! 🙏

I have wanted to visit Casa Luna for years and it absolutely lived up to all my hopes! I had an incredible time there that I will remember forever, I cannot recommend this place enough. There is truly something special about this home. My friend managed most of the communication with Laura, who was so responsive and helpful with our questions and has such a strong knowledge of the area. We also used her recommendation for a chef to come to the home and cannot recommend this enough too!!

Perfect View from every angle in the House. You have mich space and a bis balcony. Playa Maderas is not far and its so beautiful, perfect for catching some big waves on the Board!

Amazing view. Privacy. Enough room to spread out family. Great place to relax at the pool and take in the view. Morning walk down to beach (although it’s rocky and not very good for swimming, go to other nearby beaches if you want to swim). Have stayed in other Airbnb and hotels in area and this is our new favorite.

We had a wonderful stay in SJDS! Town was a quick 15 minute walk away. As others have mentioned there is a steep hill which was just fine for us and our two daughters, age 10 and 21. We enjoyed drinks on the beach at sunset, breakfast at Ding Repair, and dinner at Ikal. Rosi was incredibly responsive before and during our stay. Upon request, she immediately connected us with locals for a boat day, surfing instruction, home chef, and a driver to and from Managua. It was an incredible stay and we will definitely be back!

The home was beautiful and so was the location. We were barely home, but when we were there it was beautiful. A few things I would recommend is to make sure you have a 4x4 SUV to make getting to the property easier. The other thing would be to stop and buy some necessities, like paper towels for the kitchen. Other than that our stay was lovely. The home was way bigger than we needed, and it was 10 of us.

We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful beach villa in Nicaragua! The location is perfect – just steps away from the best beach, where we could enjoy stunning sunsets and the sound of the waves all day long. The villa itself is beautiful, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We felt completely secure throughout our stay, with a peaceful and safe atmosphere. An added bonus were the stairs down to the beach….which added some daily exercise. We would stay here again – it was an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend!

Maru’s place was so nice. It was a perfect layout for our group with three families. Maru was very helpful, answering all of our questions and connecting us to others for transportation, golf cart rentals and excursions. The location is great. Short walk or golf cart ride to the beach. Close to several delicious restaurants. Maru’s team kept the place clean, including the pool. The pool area was perfect for hanging out when not at the beach.

Absolutely amazing experience staying at window in Las olas. 2nd time visiting hacienda iguana and I didn’t think it would be possible to top our first trip but we decided to stay at a different house and boy, this place exceeded our expectations - very clean, spacious, and directly in front of Playa Colorados. Highly recommend doing a catering option for food if you’re traveling with a group of people… ask for Martha! James was so easy to work with and we all are excited to book again next year!

Really nice house with great view, perfect for a weekend stay with a big group of friends or family!

Our group of 8 had a wonderful stay in this house. It is stunning, the living area was great and we loved the pool. It was an easy walk to amazing surf, but golf carts were fun too. The property managers were really helpful, they booked a chef for us and all our surfboards rentals etc. There is also yoga, pickle ball, golf and volleyball at the beach club, lots to do here. We would 100% come back.

had a great time at this place, the view and location is amazing, dishes and appliances are a bit old and run down, had no problems only thing was there’s nothing in the listing about paying if you go over a certain amount of electricity. we were 5 people in a house meant for up to 10, we were VERY mindful about keeping lights and AC off used it only at night and not even for a full night in only 2 out of 3 rooms and we still went over and had to pay extra which i couldn’t help but feel cheated out of that money. for that reason i would not return.

This is a beautiful house and the view is exactly as pictured! We spent three weeks here and had an amazing time spending each day in the pool and evenings watching sunset. Dan has great recommendations, communication, and a guest discount to his catamaran tour which is tons of fun. We were three people working remotely and occasionally faced problems with power outages, often multiple times per week and day. If you are working remotely I would recommend flexibility and/or also having a local sim/ external data connection to avoid issues. However, I will mention that these issues are not unique to Dan's place and can be expected at any location in San Juan del Sur. The house attendants are readily available for anything you might need, however we sometimes faced miscommunication issues in regards to cleanings and laundry. I would highly recommend Dan's place for a relaxing vacation and remote work, you cannot beat the pool and view!

I had a wonderful experience staying at Casa Cooper from the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. The check-in process was seamless, and Gabriel Zamora was incredibly communicative, providing clear instructions and responding quickly to any questions I had. The space itself was exactly as described; clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. It had all the amenities I needed, including a fully equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi, and comfortable beds. The private balconies and the kitchen ‘s stunning view was was breathtaking. The house wooden, charming vintage furniture, as well as its decorations really made the place feel special. I recommend this Airbnb to everyone.

The only thing was the lack of accessibility to get in earlier. usually Airbnbs are check in 2pm and check out 12md with this was an hour later and an hour before and no matter how much we tried she didn't want to give us flexibility otherwise everything was perfect

Awesome place to stay. Great location with a lot of friendly people around. Restaurant and Pool are nice and the views are great.

We had a wonderful time at this house, it had everything we were looking for, very private and literally views on views, also Courtney and the house staff were very professional and proactive, the communication was excellent! We will be happy to be back on our next trip to San Juan del Sur!

We had an amazing stay here. We actually wished we had an extra day to just chill and enjoy the pool and view. Saw so many birds, monkeys, and a sloth. Def need an SUV for the area and the roads leading to the house. Also, you are in the wild, so expect critters to be around. Nothing was in our bed, and we slept fine, though! Communication was quick and easy, and everything was great. We were glad we were away from the noise of the town and figured we would have to drive to the beaches anyway, so we might as well get something with a view! 10/10 recommend!

Great place to stay with family and friends! The host was very responsive and addressed all of our questions. As well as the property manager.
