Beachfront vacation rentals in Granada

A beautiful, calm and private place by the lagoon. The whole area is made to just relax and there are many factors that really help this too. It has a lot of small little niches around where you can hangout, be outside and still have privacy. The wifi works everywhere too which is amazing considering the size of the area. I loved the big and clean kitchen, which really made you wanna cook. Guarded by a few puppies and kittens you for sure always have company too ;) Overall it was an amazing stay, would recommend 10/10!

Beautiful and peaceful setting, access to the water, and amazing views off the balcony, all at a great value. Do yourself a favor and go to Apoyo Lodge! Also to note there are tubes to float on and paddle boards to play on. If you have some portable chairs you may want to bring them with you, there is no lounge seating down by the water. And bring your own food, but the kitchen has everything you need for cooking.

This place is for disconnecting, relaxation, reflection and deep healing. One of the most beautiful places I've been. You can feel the love that went into making this lodge by the laguna. Miriam was a kind and helpful host and it was a pleasure to meet her and an honour to be a guest in this very special place that is Laguna Apoyo. If your reading this... Book.. Go..Reset yourself!

A beautiful spot deep in nature and right on the lake. Take a tube down to the lake for a float, relax in a hammock with a book, or enjoy the gorgeous views from the big yoga deck. Even though I had a very brief stay, I really enjoyed the space. Even though there were a few bugs (you are in the forest), it was very clean and comfortable. Lastly, Miriam is such a kind and helpful host. I plan to visit again as soon as I can!

Very nice garden and nicely decorated bungalow,nice host everything great

San Simián is quieter than other hotels in the Laguna de Apoyo since it is further away, so you can enjoy to the maximum as a couple and the disconnection of the daily bustle. The level of cleanliness surprised me. The venue is very open with pets and I loved that.

We loved staying here. Note; it is far from everything and the roads are difficult even in a taxi, there's no restaurant near (apart from the one at the villa) or shop within walking distance - but that's exactly why we picked it, to be close to nature and wildlife. We stocked up on groceries in Granada and made use of the amazing kitchen on site, which has everything you need, including salt, oil, coffee. Every morning you wake to the sounds of Howlers, 2 species of Trogons, 2 species of Motmots, Urracas, Ring necked kingfishers, squirrels, hummingbirds... everything, literally OUTSIDE your room, on site. We also found a Manakin lek nearby, and many collared aracari, it was a birders paradise!! The villa is also beautiful, so peaceful and the staff are very friendly, Oscar in particular was amazing. We were the only people staying there at the time, and Oscar made sure we were well taken care of, had everything we needed, and made us feel very welcome. Thank you for having us!

I absolutely loved staying here! I'm already booked for my next visit. My cabin was surrounded by nature and right on the lake of laguna de apoyo. My dog got to run free with the other dogs all day! There is a German Shepard guard dog on the property and he definitely does his job 😅. Daniel and the staff were great about putting the dog away at night if I needed to leave my cabin. 5 stars across the board. I'm looking forward to me next visit over the weekend. Its such a beautiful place to spend a few days escaping reality

You are paying for the location. The location and the size of the property cannot be beat. There’s plenty of room for kids to run around. It is clean and the bed was comfortable. The kitchen had a new sponge which hasn’t been the case at other Airbnbs. And the pool is quite nice! It would be nice if there were a few more kitchen amenities like lids for the pots and seasonings. It would also be nice if the trash in the yard was picked up in case there are children running around barefoot. There were some pop tops/bottle tops. But you cannot beat how close it is to the water. It felt like a private resort.

This was a great stay! The location/view is absolutely breathtaking! It was awesome being able to share fresh breakfast at the Rancho with the other guests-both because the food was delicious (again the view of the lake over coffee 😊) and getting to mingle with others. The only thing missing was the hot water but honestly with the Nicaragua heat, I didn't really miss it in hindsight. Keep in mind you are in nature so you may come across a creature or 2, but the staff was helpful there (and I hope enjoyed a laugh on my behalf. Spiders are not my friend 😂). The dogs were definitely the icing on the cake! They are gentle giants and came to greet me most mornings. Add to that, being able to take a kayak out at my leisure or just taking a dip in the lake to cool off. So many reasons to love this place!

Informative&friendly host, stunning&quiet place. Breakfast included was a surprise and it was lovely! Staff went above and beyond to help us. When we arrived we had a screw in our tire and an employee called a local repair man who came and fixed our tire the same day. We also had many ants in our room and an employee came and took care of it and changed all our bedding. I was very impressed with the amenities and the friendly, helpful staff. I only wish I had more time here!

Beautiful place to stay and relax for a few days. The lake is stunning and you can take kayaks out at no extra cost. We enjoyed having breakfast with other guests and playing with the very friendly dogs that are around! Donaldo was very helpful and was always there to help with any questions. Only thing to watch out for with staying on the lake is that restaurants can close quite early in the evening (especially on Sunday), so make sure you don't accidently end up without dinner!

Alvaro was an amazing host. He far exceeded our expectations and was so nice and accommodating. Words cannot describe his home, you will be blown away the beautiful pictures do not do this place justice. I have travelled many places and this has been one of the best places and experiences of my life. Book this place, you will not be sorry you did, it is worth every penny. Thanks again Alvaro!!

Nice stay!! The place was cozy and a great view of lagoon. It was peaceful and great area.

Wonderful place to stay with an amazing view and two very sweet dogs. We loved playing rummikub on one of the tables in the pool! The room was very cozy and the beds slept good! Definitely recommend. We hope to come back to this place

Fantastic View and g a great place to stay!!!!

One of the best places Ive ever stayed at. Great host with a great team. Lots of communication and the house leaves nothing to be desired. I will definitely go back. Recommend.

a special place to disconnect and be at peace

The place is beautiful, and has all the amenities you might need

Esther’s house is worth the extra cost beyond what you’d pay at a hostel. The house is very private, quiet, and peaceful. The open patio has an epic view of the Laguna and has a nice breeze. The hammocks are great, kitchen is fully stocked with dishes etc and the private lake access is very nice. Esther is super communicative and accommodating. She is happy to help with transportation, tips, and any other needs you may have. We missed out on one of our nights because of weather delays back home and she graciously let us have a late check out. Definitely would recommend Alchemy on the Lake!

Our stay was beautiful! Most beautiful accommodation of central America where we have been to so far. You're in paradise. Beautiful garden, comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, beautiful views, spacious, lots of seating in the house and in the garden. You dive into the lake from the garden. Wilmer and his family are very kind and caring. We definitely recommend this place!
