Beachfront holiday rentals in Santana Beach

Will stay there again. Thanks Freek! Best, SB

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.

Jim’s place was beautiful, clean and private ! Great getaway ! Jim was very responsive and very attentive! 100 percent recommended.

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!

Good space, very relaxing, coffee maker so easy to use even I could figure it out.

We loved our stay here - amazing location right by the beach. The store was 30 seconds away which made cooking so easy. Fell asleep to the sound of the waves. Thanks so much for a great stay!

Beautiful place and at walkable distance to the beach. It was pretty close to different attractions nearby. Jose, the caretaker was very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth the price and we will definitely stay again when visiting Nicaragua.

superb value for money. We paid about $26 per night in the rainy season. plenty of space, modern furnishings, good amenities in the kitchen. Close to the beach. Because of other reviews: Insects are quite normal in Nicaragua. If none were there, it would make me suspicious because then probably an environmentally harmful insecticide was used. Power outages are also normal. Unfortunately, we had some problems with the internet as a result, but Rosie and chilano were very helpful. Chilano also takes you to the nearest supermarket by motorbike. Drinking water is also provided free of charge on the property.

This place is right on the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen in my life. It was perfect for a weekend with family and friends to enjoy a relaxing weekend. The condo is perfect to get away from the noise and chaos of city life.

We had a great stay at la Bahia! Spacious home with nice pool only a few steps from the beach and town of San Juan del Sur. Special mentions to Veronica and Feliciano for always being available for our questions and needs. Be careful with the electricity usage. We had to pay a fee for exceeding the electricity allowance. We would come back anytime!

Amedeo was very responsive to our questions and requests. The place is very clean and the kitchen had the necessary pots, pans, and utensils, for cooking. Bed was comfortable as well. Walk on the beach to town is about 10-15 minutes. This is on the third floor which allowed a breeze in the early morning and evening when the glass doors were open. There is a parking space for each apartment.

This home is huge! We adored Luis and family who live next door and are available to help with anything. There is a little buzzer on the fridge to call them if needed. They’ll even do your laundry! We’re all learning spanish and it was so cool to have a local host available for a chat- very authentic experience :) The kitchen is well stocked with all the kitchen supplies (so rare for Airbnb’s). I gave the house a 4 for cleanliness but that is only due to the indoor/outdoor nature of the construction. It really couldn’t have been any cleaner. Occasional critters make their way into the house - a street cat, a bat, a bird, a few geckos. My kids loved the critters and the bedrooms are fully sealed so nothing gets in there. No issues with mosquitoes at all. The pool is lovely and the location is spot on and super safe. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay. Some very nice touches in the condo. Very comfortable. Loved the outside patio and spent most of our time there. Management was very responsive. Security guard was super nice

Carmen is great to communicate with and her home is beautiful. The beach is your backyard and there was security during the duration of our trip, so we felt safe the whole time. The housekeepers made us breakfast on one of the days we were there which was great. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Marta and Steve’s home was an absolute dream! We chose Rancho Santana for a surf trip to celebrate my 40th birthday, and it turned out to be a truly life-changing experience. This was our first time visiting Nicaragua, and we couldn’t be more grateful. The hosts provided incredible personal recommendations—drivers, surf guides, fishing, things to do, and the best surf spots—which made our trip effortless and memorable. Their housekeeper, Anna, warmly greeted us upon arrival, and to my surprise, they had a thoughtful birthday gift waiting for me! Anna kept the condo spotless throughout our stay. The condo itself was beautifully decorated, exceptionally comfortable, and had an amazing ocean view. The kitchen was fully equipped, and we really appreciated all the thoughtful extras like a cooler and beach towels. Rancho Santana is absolutely stunning—lush flowers, tropical trees, incredible restaurants etc. Every part of our trip exceeded expectations, and we can’t wait to come back!

Great place with a beautiful location and a view to die for! The host Rosi was super responsive and helpful. We had a great time using the (very clean) pool, the lovely rain showers and visiting the local beaches/restaurants which are very close to the house. They also had a couple of friendly and cute cats visiting everyday which was nice. We made the mistake of locking ourselves out once (our fault) and the security had us back inside quickly. Recommend this place 100%!

Ana Cristina has been one of the best hosts we have ever had in Airbnb rents. Super attentive, attentive to our needs, food recommendations since the area is not so commercial. It was never delayed in answering our messages and always extraordinary in everything!

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!

Everything was nice about the place

Great place to find some peace and quiet listening to nature small walk to the beach what more do you need 👍

I could live in this place. As soon as we entered I felt right at home. Great air conditioning in the bed room. All the things you may need in the kitchen. A private outdoor space for hanging out and drying clothes. Would certainly stay here again.

Beautiful serene spot and only a 10 minutes walk from the centre. The space was called "cueva" or "cave", which is a great description for it. A naturally darker bedroom with very comfortable bed, and beautiful shower with stonework. You get a private patio equipped with dining table and hammock surrounded by the gardens. Jan-Luc was responsive and helpful at every step along the way. If you are planning to take advantage of the kitchen, it was a little bit awkward with minimal equipment, so plan accordingly! Overall I highly recommend this place.

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our time in SJDS. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful—always going above and beyond any time we had a question or needed anything. The apartment felt very safe and was nicely nestled away from the busy streets, yet the location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, stores, and anything else you might need. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need (and more), the bed was super comfy, and the AC made for a great night’s sleep. Would highly recommend!

We really liked the place, the view is very nice to the sea, even the beach is close, you just have to go down a few stairs, there is a bar right in front of the beach, the place has everything you need if you want to cook, you have a beautiful view from the room. As a recommendation, bring repellent or Baygon for mosquitoes and other animals that always come out in the light, as it is a rustic place.
