Amazing!!

This stay was totally worth it. Amazing views!! Photos can't capture how wonderful it was being there in person. Great place to see the entire bay, including the beach and surrounding town and nature. Enjoyed the local wildlife and the sound of the waves. It's wonderful and peaceful at night with a clear view of the starts if you turn off all lights.. Our kids loved staying there. They loved the cats and saw lots of howler monkeys. You have to be careful with small children as there is a big drop off at the edge of the pool, but as long as you keep an eye on them it's very worth it. Thank you to Prop Mrg, Sebastian for making sure we had everything we needed while we were there.. Lots of things to do in the surrounding area, in Ocotal, Coco beach, Flamingo, and nearly volcanoes. You can also just chill out at the Playa Hermosa beach, which lives up to its name. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Million Dollar View!

We loved our stay at Villa 86! The House is very spacious, well equipped, and has one of the most amazing views I’ve ever seen! We really enjoyed spending time on the patio, in the dipping pool and in the kitchen, which can see the whole bay of Playa Hermosa. My kids Love seeing the wildlife and feeding the kitty that came by. The only downside is that drive up the hill! The first time was pretty crazy, but you get used to it after a few times. Parking is very tight. We had a 4runner sized SUV and it barely fit. If you have a smaller car, it will be much easier. However, The view makes it all worth it! Otherwise, the only issue we had was the shuttle service being very inconsistent so getting to the beach was challenging. But thats not the hosts fault nor in their control. We loved our stay and would highly recommend this unit!!

"We had a wonderful stayl! The location was ideal, nestled close to local restaurants and grocery stores, with an unbelievable view that took our breath away. The villa's layout with three separate bedroom suites around a shared common area provided both privacy and a place for gathering. Each room having its own bathroom added a touch of luxury and convenience. The property shuttle was a great perk, making it easy to move around without driving. We also fell in love with Saltina the cat, who became our regular visitor, stopping by for food and a little siesta before heading out again. Our host, Daniela, was incredibly responsive and personable, enhancing our experience further. She even arranged a memorable 4-hour boating trip that included snorkeling and exploring, which we loved so much that we booked a second trip for more snorkeling and fishing. A truly memorable vacation, thanks to the attentive staff and the exquisite setting!"

We very much enjoyed our stay during Easter Week. We traveled with three adults and 2 small children and loved how everyone had their own room/space. The views are phenomenal and the pool was lovely. We did leave food out for the kitties who visited in the morning. They did not hang around the villa patio after eating. There are a couple of good restaurants outside of the property and you’re a short drive to coco beach if you want more restaurant options. Everything worked well. We got lucky that we had one of the three parking spots by the villa every night. We loved our experience. Thank you so much for making our time so memorable. We’d love to come back and stay here again some day.

Nice Villa

I have noticed the owner gets extremely defensive when you leave negative feedback. But I should be allowed to give my honest feedback. So here goes......overall the unit is very nice. Views are amazing. The good: Views and separate bedrooms with own bathrooms. The bad: we found the shuttle system to be troublesome. Parking our rental car was also not fun. There were always cars parked by our unit so we had to leave car parked far away. This unit is at the top of a large hill. We had to walk up and down several times as shuttle wasn't convenient. Do NOT eat the food at the resort, it is quite terrible. We had two issues that Sebastian failed to do anything about, went to make food on the grill and there was no propane. Bedroom 3 had a sink that we think the faucet was clogged. Water barely came out. Sebastian said he would look into it, but never came. A lot of people have talked about the cats that visit several times a day. I was really hoping they would not come by as I am extremely allergic to cats. When they would come on the patio, I would have to retreat inside. Needless to say, the Cats got more patio time than I did. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Just know with the views comes some additional issues you have to deal with.

Great Stay with Family

This home is part of a resort community, which we were unaware of when we booked it. We actually intended to stay away from a resort so we wouldn't be dependent on the resorts food. We were thrilled that this home had a full kitchen and refrigerator so we could go to the local grocery store and cook our own food. The market is a little less than a mile from the gates, easily walkable. Unfortunately, the refrigerator was not working and most of the food we purchased spoiled 😕. After speaking with the Concierge, we were advised that the refrigerator couldn't be repaired. Too bad, so sad. This was a little disappointing because we made the mistake of not renting a car. You can totally drive in Playa Hermosa if you can drive in the states. Rent a car. It's $60 USD to get to Coco Beach and back which is 15 min away. There's only 1 decent restaurant within walking distance from the resort. The food at the resort was about $70 USD on average each meal for a family of 4. The food is banquet style and is fine. Not great. We were here for a week. The villa itself was beautiful. Each kiddo had there own room and bathroom. The view is absolutely incredible!! The pictures don't do it justice. The pool was perfect for my kiddos, 9 and 12. We loved it too, nice little dip to cool off. There are kitty cats that frequent the property and you get to feed them breakfast and dinner. Which was provided, but we ran out so we purchased more. Overall was a great stay. 👍

Puta Vida

Pros: luxury, cool AC in every room, spacious for a family, clean, those views! playa Hermosa beach is safe, not busy, and close by. The complex has two pools that you can access included in your stay (plus there is a private dipping pool like in the pictures!) plus various activities like yoga and bingo (that we didn’t try). It also has a convenient shuttle to get to the beach, though you can walk if steep hills aren’t a problem. There is security around and I noted CCTV cameras throughout the Villas so it felt safe. Kitchen adequately stocked for cooking, managers are responsive and helpful. The little cats that visited were sweet. Cons: the roads within the gated community are very narrow and the near parking is challenging to get in and out of. We regretted wasting one of our dinners at the attached restaurant (do not get the all inclusive meal package) when there are wonderful restaurant choices right on the beach. Other than the beach itself, there is little to do in Playa Hermosa but if you have a car it’s easy to get to places and there are shuttle and boat tours a plenty. The condo had ants but they went away when we kept everything off the counter (everything was stored in the fridge and freezer including food waste which we disposed of daily- it was conveniently picked up from the curb side each morning). Bed in master bedroom is dipping in the middle so not the most comfortable, and there is a not pleasant smell from the ensuite so we kept the door closed and fan on. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and we felt spoiled there.

Breathtaking view

We spent a week here with another couple and loved the condominium and especially the terrace with the private pool, swings and spectacular view of the ocean and sunsets. At first, it seemed far up and away from the beach, but the shuttle worked well and we did end up regularly walking the 15 minutes down to the beach and taking the shuttle home (Roy the shuttle driver was particularly friendly). The accommodation was spacious and comfortable for four adults. Our host provided beer and a bag of coffee upon our arrival. The owner’s team was highly responsive in getting back to our requests and questions.

The view is worth it!

The views in the listing photos are what drew us to Villa Sol and they did not disappoint. We could never grow tired of taking in those views and sunsets from Villa 86. The cold plunge pool was so refreshing in the hot afternoons, and we loved relaxing and reading in the swings over the pool (though one swing was out of commission for a few days). We enjoyed visiting with all of the sweet cats who came by to be fed. The villa itself is spacious and there were only two of us but we could have fit 4 more people comfortably. The resort shuttle ran frequently, though we were a little confused by how it worked at first. There are several decent restaurants within walking distance of the resort, and a surprisingly well stocked convenience store too. There are plenty of nice beaches within a short drive from the resort, and the town of Coco is only about 15-20 minutes by car where there are many more restaurants and shopping options. We can't speak to the hotel restaurants which we didn't go to due to poor reviews, and we didn't feel the need to hang out at the resort pools since we had our own private one! The front desk staff at the resort weren't very friendly, but Sebastian was very personable and responsive to questions and some maintenance issues we had. The oven didn't work, which wasn't a big deal, but the master bathroom smelled strongly of sewage. Sebastian did try to resolve it twice, but we decided to just stop using that bathroom for the rest of our stay so as not to have more maintenance interruptions. Some other negatives we experienced were that we arrived late at night and were told that wouldn't be an issue. Security did let us in the resort but gave us poor directions to the villa itself. We ended up driving around on those steep hills for a while in the dark and then getting out and walking to look for it (and called the number we were given with no response), which was a little frustrating after a long day of travel. So we'd recommend asking for a resort map if no one can take you up to the villa. As others have said, parking can be tight and there is a very small parking lot not in pictures directly to the right of the patio. People getting in and out of their cars can see you if you're on the patio or in the pool but it wasn't a big issue, just might be nice to add a privacy fence (Sebastian mentioned they are adding one). All in all, it's a beautiful spot and we would visit again!

Would stay here again!

We spent a week here and would stay here again! The view was fantastic, and the villa was roomy and comfortable. I’m fairly certain this villa has the best view of any within this resort. We scheduled a sunset sail and private 1/2 day fishing charter through Dani, and both were excellent! Pros: The view, the view, the view! The villa was clean, roomy and comfy. We loved the pool. Easy shuttle service to get around the resort. And you didn’t need to be at a shuttle station to catch the shuttle. Responsive host and concierge. Cats. I liked that the resort wasn’t super touristy. Easy to walk to restaurants, bars, and activities. Resort pool was also nice, with sunny and shady spots, food and drinks available, a dj, hot tub, ping pong and fusball. Weather was perfect the entire week! Cons: Parking next to the villa is limited but we had a small car and it wasn’t an issue. Hills were tough, but you get used to them after a couple of days. Never got used to walking the hills. Resort shuttle stops at 10pm which was fine for us but if you’re staying out at a beach bar later than that, it’s a long arduous hike up the hills to the villa. There were some appliances that weren’t working but Sebastian was responsive and we made do, so it wasn’t a problem. Overall: We had a fantastic vacation, and most of our satisfaction was due to staying at this villa. Thank you to Michael, Dani, and Sebastian for providing such a great rental experience!
