THE SPACE
Step into classic Spanish colonial design, with arched teak-framed windows, clay tile floors, and rich wood-beamed ceilings that give the space character and charm. The main living area features a cozy seating area, strong Wi-Fi, and AC to keep you cool after a warm day of exploring. The fully stocked kitchen includes full-size appliances, cookware, and everything needed to prepare meals at home—whether it’s fresh coffee in the morning or dinner with a view at sunset.
The bedroom offers a plush queen bed, cooling air conditioning, storage space, and garden views. The bathroom is simple, clean, and offers hot water and fresh linens for your comfort. For convenience during longer stays, the home is equipped with a washer and dryer tucked away from view.

THE LOCATION: Walkable Convenience Meets Peaceful Privacy
This hillside home is located just a short walk from downtown San Juan del Sur. You can easily stroll to restaurants, coffee shops, beach bars, and markets—or catch a shuttle to nearby surf beaches like Playa Maderas or Playa Hermosa. Then, return home to your peaceful hillside retreat, where the town noise fades into ocean breezes and rustling palms.

No car is required. Many guests enjoy the freedom of walking into town and returning on foot or by tuk-tuk (local 3-wheeled taxis) if needed.

DAILY NATURAL ENCOUNTERS
Your mornings begin with birdsong. By mid-morning, a local group of howler monkeys may swing through the mango trees surrounding the patio. Butterflies and tropical birds make for fun surprises throughout the day. This home gives you a true front-row seat to the rhythms of the jungle.

You will not be disappointed with the views. I was apparently their first rental since putting this unit on the platform so there were some issues that distracted from the overall experience but nothing that would cause concern. Had those issues not been present it would have been a five-star stay. But as it was, I feel it's fair at 4.Some of these minor issues were with the organization and appearance of the home. Other things like a missing ceiling fan remote, broken ceiling fan and lights, dead batteries in an AC remote, food left over in the refrigerator. All things that are minor. It's a great stay once you figure out the quirks of the property (which house it is, where the keys are, wait 5 minutes after turning on hot water to get hot water in the shower). It's not far from downtown San Juan del Sur however if you plan on walking it it's a very steep walk up. I fully expect these issues to be remedied for the next person to have an extraordinary experience and stay.
