Holiday rentals with beach access in San Juan del Sur Bay

Big Drop Surf House is ideally located a short walk to Playa Maderas. Well equipped and comfortable, staying here you will feel part of the Maderas community. Gaby is a very responsive and resourceful host. The local restaurants/beach bars are great, close, and have delicious food.

Directly across the street from the beach, lots of restaurants and things to do.

We had a great stay at Jose's apartment and are happy we came back! The place is comfortable, private, and has a great hot shower. It's close to the main town but still tucked away from the crowds and noise, offering a peaceful stay. The location is very walkable, just a few blocks from the market, restaurants, and cafes. Would definitely recommend!

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!

El apartamento es perfecto, cómodo, limpio y completo, hay piscina en el 1er piso. Para llegar al lugar el acceso es fácil, sin desviarse mucho de la carretera principal y calle completamente adoquinada.

Un verdadero escape del ruido de la ciudad. Este lugar combina lo mejor de dos mundos: la frescura del bosque y la tranquilidad de la playa. Es un espacio sereno, rodeado de naturaleza, con una vista preciosa y el sonido del viento y los pájaros que te envuelve desde que llegás. Sin duda, un lugar al que volvería con los ojos cerrados.

Nous avons adoré l’appartement, particulièrement la terrasse avec la vue et les couchers de soleil. L’appartement est à 10 minutes à pied de la plage. Heureusement le taxi connaissait l’emplacement. Si vous arrivez par vos propres moyens, assurez-vous vous d’arriver de clarté.

I had a great week staying at Dunia’s place. It was incredibly relaxing and right by the beach. I was working the whole week and wifi was great - no issues with video calls. If I’m ever back in Maderas, I’ll be sure to stay at Dunia’s again.

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour familial chez Cristina. Nous étions un grand groupe de 16 personnes et nous avons été bien accueillis par l’ensemble du staff. La maison était fidèle aux photos et même mieux! Les cuisinières nous ont préparé des repas incroyables ! Nous avons très bien mangé Je recommande à 10000%

We had a fantastic stay at the Casita! Its location was perfect—just a short walk to everything at the Ranch—while still feeling private and secluded despite nearby homes. The space was very clean and organized. Karina, our primary contact, was exceptionally responsive and helpful. She went above and beyond, assisting us with everything from answering questions to helping us coordinate transportation to and from the airport. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Hope to be back soon .

The house is overall great, but the layout is a bit unusual—you have to leave your room and go downstairs to use the outside bathroom, which isn’t ideal at night. Two days before checkout, a housekeeper came to tidy up the outdoor area for a few hours. While she respected my request to leave the indoor space alone, it felt a bit invasive for a week-long stay. Some guests might appreciate the gesture, but I prefer more privacy. No drinking water was provided, so we had to buy some right after arriving—not a big deal, but it would’ve been a nice touch. On the plus side, Brant and Khadine were very responsive. On day one, I mentioned that branches were scraping against the room and making it hard to sleep—they had a gardener come quickly to trim them, which I really appreciated. The location is fantastic: steps from the beach and a 20–30 min walk to surf breaks. Two lovely cats add a sweet touch. Other "wins" = comfy beds, great hammocks, and a blender for smoothies :)

Casa Tora es una buena opción para un grupo familiar que quiere disfrutar de la belleza natural de playa El Coco. La casa ofrece las amenidades que se necesitan para pasar una buena estancia. Muy recomendable opción.

Beautiful house, perfect place to spend the week. No AC in the main living area, but screen doors kept things all good. AC units in all bedrooms. Helpful, communicative host. Would definitely recommend.

5 STARS all the way around for Miki’s house. She was amazing to work with, her house was so cool and super close to the beach. We loved the vibe, the plants, the pool, everything was spot on!

Ben deserves his super host title. We had an exceptional stay at this Airbnb! The place was incredibly clean and well-maintained. Ben, our host, was very helpful and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. A special shoutout to Maria, the cleaning lady, who was an absolute champion and kept the place spotless. We highly recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Thank you, Ben and Maria, for making our trip so memorable!

El apartamento es bastante cómodo y todo está en buen estado. La ubicación es perfecta si queres estar un poco alejado del ruido del pueblo y se siente seguro. Las áreas comunes y área de piscina también están bien cuidadas. Mario es un buen host, estuvo pendiente y nos dio todas las indicaciones de la casa. Son duda, me volvería a hospedar.

Great location, the apartment is exactly what I thought it would be, clean, nice, stylish, organized. Benjamin is very responsive and friendly! Can’t complain! I come often to SJDS and definitely will be back at this place! I recommend it 1000%

If there was an award for AirBNB's top host globally, Maria would win easily. Hands down the best host I have evern encountered, so friendly and willing to help with anything and everything we needed. Had a wonderful stay with my family, beautiful place, amazing location and million dollar views. Could not recommend highly enough.

We were really happy with this apartment. It was very well equiped and Roberta though about even the smallest details like the options to hang the wet clothes and all the equipment in the kitchen . Roberta solved every problem we had along the way ( we had just a few) as fast as possible and we always had a fast answer from her. Marisol, the lady that came to clean was so nice and professional. We really liked her. The swimming pool was always clean and ready to use 😁.

La maison était magnifique, impeccable et tranquille. Un peu à l’écart du centre-ville, nous avions une voiture ce qui a facilité les déplacements, sans cela c’est un peu loin des restos. Cette maison en vaut la peine! Belle vue aussi sur la baie à partir du balcon.

Excelente lugar, muy bonito y organizado todo, lo recomiendo, la playa está muy cerca y el hospedaje 10:10 Billie y su esposa fueron super amables.

Primero me gustaría mencionar que Juan Pablo y Uri fueron geniales de inicio a fin, hubo un pequeño percance al inicio de la estadía pero lo resolvieron sumamente rápido, con excelente actitud y nos retribuyeron con creces el pequeño inconveniente. Estamos especialmente agradecidos con Uri por su rápida y excelente atención. Les deseamos el mejor de los éxitos para el 2025 en el cual seguramente regresaremos! Les recomiendo muchísimo hospedarse acá!

This location is perfect if you want to be close to town and right on the main beach strip of San Juan Del Sur. The decor is fabulous and the suite was well equipped with kitchen utensils as well as a good supply of towels for the bathroom and the beach. Nolan was easy to deal with and kindly accomodated some changes we required.

Un lugar ideal para descansar y aprovechar la cercanía con todas las playas de San Juan . Muy recomendado
