We could not have picked a better home to stay at during our vacation to San Juan del Sur. John and Jan were BEYOND accomodating with all of our questions and requests. Their home is stunning, very comfortable bedrooms, wonderful views and everything one would need to make our time away from home feel just like home. The housekeepers are wonderfully accomodating, they helped us with many questions and went above and beyond in their service. The home is situation in the perfect spot, not far from town to make quick trips in, but just far enough to make you feel like you are in your own private paradise. I would recommend this home to anyone traveling to SJDS!!

Just returned from a week at this property, five adults stayed at the house and two more adults stayed a few minutes walk up the road at El Jardin Inn. The listing description is accurate, the photos do not do justice to this wonderful location. The property includes services from caretakers who live next door and each day the house and pool were clean and the caretakers are wonderful - very helpful! The owner stayed in touch the first day or so, very responsive and had great advise on things to do, places to eat, etc. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful location, just a 15 minute drive to downtown San Juan del Sur and about the same length of time to the closest of many great beaches in this area. Resting by the pool or lounging indoors is great too - the lush foliage, beautiful flowers, amazing birds and ocean sunsets every evening. Bedrooms are large and each with a shower/toilet/sink, very nice. Eat in kitchen with a large dining area and living room area - all open to the outdoors, porch and pool. Very easy to move about, make meals, etc. In San Juan del Sur there is an open air market selling various foods, and there is a grocery store located even closer to the house. We were able to easily purchase food for meals, snacks and drinks. In town are a number of restaurants, bars and cafes. Lots to choose from - sea food - mediterranean - bar b que - vegetarian - Italian - pizza - and a great bakery where you can order fresh bread every day. We did not have a bad meal nor did we have any problem with upset stomaches. Recommend: Rent a 4x4 vehicle as many roads to beaches are not paved. / Do the canopy tour located nearby the house, on the same road - really amazing! / Good restaurant - El Calibri and fun bar on the beach in San Juan del Sur called Iguana / Best - go to the beaches and surf, boogey board or just walk along the shore and enjoy the amazing views of lush, tropical forested rolling hills flowing into sand beaches and rocky shores...wow, what a place!
