About this property
#LACASA - BEACHFRONT House, San Juan Del Sur Playa Marsella
Come stay at #LACASA and have the best BEACHFRONT vacation of your life. #LACASA is located just outside of San Juan Del Sur (9km from town) on the most tranquil beach you will find in the area, Playa Marsella. On any given day there is only a hand full of people here which makes this feel like your own private beach!
And speaking of privacy, that is something you will certainly have while staying at #LACASA. #LACASA is perfect for the couple looking to have a romantic getaway or a family looking to enjoy the beach and all it has to offer. The property is a three story house surrounded by a ten foot wall built to North American standards which include the following:
First Level of #LACASA - pool, covered patio, BBQ area, courtyard Pool Area: - Fabulous freshwater plunge/dipping pool with a whirlpool bench area to lounge in and enjoy the view of the ocean, perfect for kids to play in but not suitable to swim laps -Lounge chairs -2 outdoor showers and a bathroom -Great for lounging around after a day at the beach Covered Patio: -Great place to escape the sun -Hammocks and rocking chairs for relaxing -8 person dining table BBQ Area: -Wood/charcoal grill -2 sinks with an area to also prep food

Playa Marsella is a very tranquil spot. The beach is not frequented by many and it will feel like you will have it all to yourselves. This white sand beach is perfect for bringing your children to and not having to worry about monster waves. Additionally, there are bars/restaurants on either end of the beach as well as many within walking distance if you are interested in dining out but do not want to travel into town. There is also a food truck that comes twice a week and has all different types of fruits, vegetables, eggs, and other things.
Please also note: -I have a couple who live at the back of the property full time in the guesthouse. They clean the house and do maintenance work on the premises. The guesthouse is a completely separate self-sustaining unit. -This listing can accommodate 10 people max (including children). -While 4x4 may not always be required, a car/truck with higher clearance is ALWAYS necessary, especially during the rainy season. We recommend having a car with a high clearance to avoid any issues crossing the small stream and the bumps/holes on the dirt roads. I also suggest to have 4x4 if possible. -Lastly, due to the house's proximity to the ocean the well water is brackish and thus not suitable for drinking/cooking. We supply a 5-gallon jug of purified water to use for cooking/drinking in lieu of this.
ADDITIONAL RULES: - Smoking is NOT allowed on the premises but feel free to smoke on the beach :) - Guests should never add water to the pool - As you are probably aware, the infrastructure in Nicaragua is not comparable to what you may typically be accustomed to if you are a foreigner traveling to this beautiful country. As such, you may experience power outages during your stay. When the power goes out there is also no wifi or water flow. This is just something we have to live with here and you should set your expectations accordingly. As this is something completely out of our control, we provide no refunds for power outages lasting less than 4 hours but rest assured we do everything in our power to try to get it fixed as quickly as possible. Aside from natural disasters, if the power does go out, it typically is back within a half day if not shorter. - CHECKIN is from 3:00 PM - 8:00 PM. If you arrive after 8 PM there is an additional $10 fee. -CHECKOUT is at 10 AM. Assuming we do not get booked for a same day checkin we can do the late checkout. But just be aware that if we do get booked last minute you will have to leave at the normal checkout time regardless of if we had previously agreed to a different time. It is $15/hour for each extra hour should you want to extend your stay. - As mutual respect for our neighbors, we ask our guests to be quiet from the hours 11 pm to 7 am. - Lost or missing keys will cost $35 per key. - Lost or missing towels will cost $25 per towel. - Any booking receiving the monthly discount will pay a $150 cleaning fee and be responsible for paying 100% of their electrical usage. -Guests are not allowed to flush papers down toilet. Everything must be disposed of in a waste basket. -If a guest unplugs any of the security cameras monitoring the exterior of the property you will be asked to immediately leave the premises and will not receive any refunds (there are no cameras inside of the house)

We were a big group of 8 people. My family and I had a wonderful stay. The listing was very accurate and communicating with everyone was very easy. The location was excellent as we were literally on the beach. Waking up in the morning to the Ocean view and hearing the waves at night, were AWESOME. I highly recommend this home.
Proximity to the beautiful little private beach with stunning views of the ocean and sky - were the best parts about this house! The house could use lots of general updates (seems like it hasn't been painted or parts fixed since its build?) and clearer directions for lights, fans, WiFi, etc. It felt a little treacherous to get to as well- but were adventuresome folk, so it was all worth the ride.

beautiful area,
is a beautiful house, needs lost of care, windows need screen, doors also to keep flys and mosquitos out, i enjoy my stay at san juan.
This is our second stay at this property and we will return next year. The location is great. 20 minutes from town and worth the drive. 2 restaurants on the beach…a 1 minute walk. Another 5 minute drive to a great breakfast and specialty coffee spot. 5 minutes away from another beach that has 3 restaurants and amazing surf lessons and rentals….and the sunsets are to die for. The caretaker and his family that live on the property are some of the nicest people I have ever met and we have continued to communicate with them since last year. Harry the property manager is super easy to communicate with and very responsive. Can’t wait till next year.
Unsanitary and unsafe filled with bats in the home
The home was not as depicted in pictures.it was dirty , not well kept and worst of all had bats in the home and the rooms smelled of urine from the bats
Pictures are deceiving. Pricing extremely high for the quality of the rental. Ran down, dirty, awful furniture. Dirty moldy water. Crusty towels that they were so worry people would take. We had a three day stay and left after one night due to late arrival and had no other option. Beach not pretty. Neighbor demolishing a zinc roof at 6 am in the morning making lots of noise.
Excellent private house for a weekend at the beach. The house is nice and perfectly situated on Playa Marsella. Everything worked perfectly, all appliances, wifi and a/c in the bedrooms. Staff for check in/check out and caretakers are very friendly and helpful.
House was pretty much like pictures although pool smaller than it looks in photos. On site staff was friendly and helpful. Owner was very easy to get ahold of for any questions. Was very windy when we were there so was hard to enjoy the beach. House was very clean, beds comfortable and views were amazing.
