Family-friendly vacation rentals in Rivas

Nós gusto mucho nuestra estadía, nos íbamos a quedar 1 noche y nos terminamos quedando 3. Jan es un excelente anfitrión, muy buena comunicación y siempre estuvo pendiente de cualquier cosa que se necesitara. Lo recomiendo totalmente.

A+ book it don’t hesitate. A dream home in a dream location. We had such a wonderful stay at this jungle hideaway! The property is absolutely stunning—completely surrounded by lush greenery and peaceful nature. Waking up to the sounds of the jungle and the breathtaking views each morning was honestly magical. The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It felt like the perfect escape from the busyness of everyday life. We had a great time relaxing, exploring, and just soaking in the beauty around me. Would definitely come back and already recommending it to friends.

Wonderful place, with a spectacular view! The statue of Christ is super close to Malibu and the host was also super helpful in recommending local restaurants with a 20% discount :) They’re super attentive when it comes to any inquiries or maintenance questions. However, I will say that there were a lot of bugs outside so I recommend bringing repellent. Its location is not that inclined like most places in San Juan, so that was another upside to it. Great location, great staff, great place ❤️

Excelente lugar siempre regreso cada vez que visito San Juan del sur

Equilibrio was all that I hoped for and more. The owners, James and Gabriela have put much thought into the experience, anticipating what might delight their guests. There was plenty of space to relax, create, read, meditate, play, and enjoy the jungle, river, and beach. The casitas are fenced off from each other to create large, private jungle "yards." The 15 acre retreat is near town, but secluded, and each large casita has its own sizable part of the whole. I loved our "Guitar" casita which brings the best parts of the outside in -- the jungle view, the bird sounds, the breezes, and leaves out the bugs and rain. Heaven. The mosquito netting walls simply disappear. Our casita had plenty of bottled water, a refrigerator, coffee maker, coffee and tea, a closet room, and a large bathroom with a door that leads to a spacious, private, luxurious, solar-heated outdoor shower. We also had a private palapa with hammocks and rocking chairs. Outside our fence, down the trail was a larger shared space with more hammocks and rockers that was also the main gathering place/dining room/performance space. The staff is nearly invisible, but always there when you need them, smiling and helpful, serving food and drinks. The food was outstanding, featuring local vegetables, fruit smoothies and juices. The resort is not directly on the beach, but a short, bird-watching boat ride from the beach. Canoes and kayaks are available for exploration of the river estuary and trips to the beach. Daily yoga was included in our package and was not to be missed. Three days of the week we were at the studio on Popoyo beach where we could listen to the waves and gaze at the horizon. The beach is huge, beautiful, and empty. The lovely yoga studio at Equilibrio was a large palapa with a wood floor and mosquito netting all around that can be unfurled, if needed. Our teacher, Brook was wonderful, tailoring classes to our needs. We loved her classes and also managed to squeeze in some private sessions. Equilibrio is a treat, far away from the touristy parts, with nature all around and thoughtful service. Many thanks to James, Gabriela, and Brook for creating such a serene retreat experience and for the fantastic yoga. I hope to return soon.

We were lucky to book this place in San Juan. A real gem a short walk from town with great access to everything. The house is incredible with everything that you need to have a great time - jacuzzi, BBQ, amazing kitchen all surrounded by incredible views. if you book with Tanguy, you will not be disappointed! Thanks again

The house was nicer in person then in the pictures, which is saying a lot since I got it for that reason. Great stay, and very close to San Juan

It was a really nice place. Perfect to celebrate my kid fifth birthday. It’s only 10 minutes away from the beach. We felt at home.

Great stay, will be back

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

Le logement est en tous points conforme à la description, confortable et calme. La terrasse, les hamacs et les chaises d'extérieur incitent à la détente. La situation géographique, à une minute de marche de Playa Maderas et de Playa Majagual, est idéale pour qui cherche à profiter des vagues pour surfer, des baies tranquilles pour se baigner, tout en étant à l'écart du chaos urbain de SJDS. Il est facile de manger et de boire, à des prix raisonnables, dans les restaurants et bars situés à proximité, sur les plages. Pour les visiteurs souhaitant cuisiner eux-mêmes, il est primordial de prévoir de tout apporter avec soi - le commerce alimentaire le plus près est à environ 25 minutes de pistes, principalement non-asphaltées. Nous y séjournerions à nouveau sans hésiter.

Nous avons passé un séjour de 2 mois plus-que-parfait. Anika et Tony ont été des hôtes super accueillants et très réactifs. Si vous souhaitez vous immerger dans une petite communauté nicaraguayenne authentique, c’est l’endroit qu’il vous faut. 3 plages à proximité, toutes accessibles à pied. Il y a un minimarket à 2 min à pieds pour tous les essentiels. Mon copain a fait du télétravail et le wifi était bien parfait. Un petit bijou! Nous y retournons l’an prochain.

Corrin e Jacq foram anfitriões excepcionais. Sempre presentes e super diligentes. A casa, por sua vez, é perfeita: excelente localização, equipada com tudo com o que você precisa (e mais um pouco) e extremamente confortável e agradável. Foi uma experiência incrível, que recomendo a todos (especialmente a quem surfa, tendo em vista as duas ondas “world class” localizadas dentro do condomínio).

Nous avons passés un magnifique séjour à popoyo dans le logement d’Isabelle et Petrona. Peteona était sur place pour nous accueillir, nous nous sommes sentis à la maison dès notre arrivée. Le logement est très bien équipé, situé au bord de la plage avec restaurant et épicerie tout se fait à pied sans problème. Directement à coter du popoyo republic donc on peut de musique mais rien de très intense. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir!

Mi familia y yo disfrutamos de unos días de descanso y paz. Agradecemos mucho las atenciones a todos los detalles. Brígida y el personal de la villa fueron muy atentos a nuestras consultas y solicitudes. Definitivamente volveremos. Gracias !

Our stay at Salty Surf was fantastic! Emeline is a wonderful host, she has all the best tips for the area - Carolina (care taker) is very sweet and helpful too! The A/C in the bedroom worked great, bed was comfy and kitchen has all the basics for cooking. Beautiful spot on the beach, love having coffee listening to the ocean waves. Walking distance to a few good restaurants, coffee and groceries. Surfing is about a 15-20min walk away. Highly recommend this gem in Popoyo!

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.

The pictures don’t do justice to the views of this house! Perfect location in a quiet neighborhood. Will definitely return ☺️

This might have been my favorite AirBnB experience ever! Mary Jane goes above and beyond to take care of you. You're not just staying at Mary Jane's place, you are getting someone who will take care of all your needs. She will organize taxis for you to/from the airport or anywhere in Nicaragua. She gives local recommendations for anything to do in SJDS. The place itself is amazing. The pool was the best part, we used it everyday in the hot weather. It is a very spacious house, with A/C in every room, so it was easy to sleep at night. There are 3 dogs on the property as well that are super friendly :) The location of Casa Lakshmi is ideal as well. You are right in the middle of everything. Perhaps the only thing I would share is if you are trying to work remotely and take any video meetings, the Wifi was a tad slow, and sometimes it was hard to take a Zoom call. But it was a very minor inconvenience, and that should not stop you from staying here. 6 out of 5 stars! Book now!

I have stayed at this house several times so obviously I like it. It has 3 levels, each one is well appointed and spotlessly clean. The house is one block from the "main street" (along the beach) of town and close to all the restaurants.

We had a great time in Playa el Coco. Melanie's place is right on the beautiful beach, and also has a pool that was perfect for our little kiddos. The place was clean and we felt very safe. Melanie, and the property manager Noel, were very responsive and quick to help to ensure we had a great time. Thanks for the memories!

Great house for large family or groups. Nice ocean view ( not of playa Redonda) but other bay next door. I love the restaurant in Aqua Resort its a huge plus!! Make sure generator is working because of random power outages !!

Unbelievable Ocean View Home with Resort Amenities, Perfectly Located! We had the pleasure of staying in this stunning home, just a block away from town and four blocks from the beach. The ocean views from the property are truly unbelievable! Every morning, we were greeted with breathtaking panoramas that made each day special. The home is located in a private, safe and quiet gated community which offers resort-like amenities including a full time concierge, a club house, snack bar and swimming pool, outdoor gym, co-working space and even chef and massage services, that added an extra touch of luxury to our stay. The proximity to both the town and beach was incredibly convenient, allowing us easy access to local shops, restaurants, and seaside activities without needing to drive. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a luxurious escape with exceptional views and prime location!

Amazing stay! House is equipped with everything and all our needs were taken care of.
