About this property

CASA DEL MAR - beautiful oceanfront house in the center of Las Peñitas

Beautiful oceanfront home with three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
New opened upstairs bedroom with balcony and bathroom inside.
We don´t have a/c, wifi or television, but you don´t need this, because there´s always a breeze from the ocean and you can see every night beautiful sunsets and stars.
You will be well taken care of by our wonderful caretakers.
Perfect weather all year round.
Las Peñitas is a still unspoilt small fishing/surfing village where you most of the time have the beach of your own.
The house is right in the center, where you will find restaurants, bars and surf schools. A grocery shop is right in front of the house.
It´s only a short drive to León, where you will find museums churches and nice colonial architecture.

Nice property. Great location on a beautiful beach. Needs lots of Maintenance.

Beautiful property on a very nice beach. The house and property are in dire need of repairs and clean-up. Hand railing is falling off. A few bags of garbage needed to be cleaned up. Two different medium piles of leaves in the yard needed cleaned up. One huge pile of leaves and branches in front of the gate, partly blocking access to the beach. The water to the upstairs shower stopped working after the first day. Bugs are bad at night. The wooden decks and stairs to the bedroom are due for some serious repairs. I would condemn them. When we would turn on the water to the sink, sometimes frogs would shoot out. Wife wasn't happy. The place has a new roof. No hot water or A/C. No glass windows. Overall, of the 11 places I stayed at, during or trip (Jan. 19-Feb.16, 2023) This was the worst house but top 2 location/beach. I would not rent this house again at the price that I paid.

Nice house, good location. The appliances should be upgraded. The coffee maker didn’t work, and the refrigerator is ancient and barely functional.

great view

I booked this property because of the promise of a view. It did not disappoint. I spent as much time as possible (when not bird watching) on the balcony enjoying the sound of the waves. There were many restaurants easy walking distance, but I should probably have taken up the offer of homemade cuisine by the housekeepers. Benefits of the house were the close proximity and approx. 5 minute walk to boats to Juan Venado Island with stunning birds and turtles hatching. Would definitely stay again. I had GREAT COMPANY.

rustic beach charm

This is a very basic beach front open concept beach dwelling. Really only the bedrooms are contained . the upstairs bedroom is lovely ( lots of bugs but it does have a bug net) and has its own bathroom. the two bedrooms downstairs are dark but at least had bug screens on the windows. bathrooms are outside. one bedroom downstairs had only one window and had a bat in it while we were visiting. to keep the property secure a fair amount of work needs to be done to lock everything up every time you leave. kitchen equipment ( fridge especially) is in poor shape. we think this is due to the fact is is right on the beach. lots of plates, cutlery and utensils. sunsets are amazing. good restaurants near by. small food store just across the street. Local bus drops off just in front of the house and can be very noisy early in the morning. We stayed in the upper bedroom and really enjoyed it. views are great and the ensuite makes it very nice.

Great location, not the best value

The house is perfectly situated for beach and restaurant access. The house is spacious, has nice shaded seating areas and garden. Susanne and Abel (local manager) are both very responsive and helpful. Having said that, there are a few things that we would have been happier with. The house was not clean and was poorly equipped with basic necessities. For the ~$115/night for two we would have appreciated a couple of hand towels in the bathrooms, towels for the beach, clean/newer kitchen towels, a fresh bar of soap in the bathroom, and maybe even shampoo. We had to request extra toilet paper (we were only there for 4 nights) and we barely had enough sugar. The wifi, while not an important part of our vacation, was barely functional. The house in general would benefit from some 'tender loving care' and some upgrades - especially the kitchen. A broader problem of Las Penitas (an in many other parts of Nicaragua) is that local burning does make it hard to enjoy the evenings and nights - especially since one has to keep windows open. (Remember, no A/C.) We did enjoy our stay and would consider returning to Las Penitas. It is still authentic Nicaragua and the people are really great.

Why they chose this property

We just bought this property in Las Peñitas, because it was always my favorite place and I finally could fulfill my dream to have a property there.
I hope in some years we will be able to live there.
