A short walk from one of the best surfing beaches in the world, what more could you ask for?

I think this place would be great for a large group. It isn't as fancy as some, but perfectly adequate and in a lovely quiet location.

Overall, this could be a beautiful home. The master suite is huge and comfortable. Also, it is a great location with its proximity to the beach. However, a “for sale” sign was put up the day of our arrival, which was indicative of the attention the house has recently received. The house needs to be renovated and we had several issues, including two air conditioners that stopped working, the water heater in the master’s suite broke, and the pool pump also broke. The property management company had most of these repaired the same day with the exception of the pool pump, which took at least five days. After repairing the pump, they did not clean the pool, so we were without a pool for over a week. The pool needs to be cleaned twice a week to keep up with the activity of the guests.

We were nine ladies celebrating a birthday, and the house worked great for us. Plenty of sleeping areas, a great pool and outdoor patio area, and an easy walk to the beach.

Our family and friends spent New Years Eve at Casa de la Luna in Playa Guiones. Our overall experience was very pleasant, and we were able to relax and have a great time. There were a few bumps with check in and some of the appliances were not working properly, but all were eventually taken care of and we were able to get settled. For a house of this size and at the price point we paid, I would have expected it to be better stocked with trash bags, dishwashing soap, and other basics. The beaches were amazing and the local community seemed alive with a diverse (European) culture that we didn't expect in Central America. Having a car is very helpful as many restaurants are a 20-30 minute walk from the house on a dusty dirt road. Our kids had fun with the many critters that visited the house, both cute (monkeys) and scary (tarantulas). Casa de la Luna is an older house that is very warm and welcoming. The patio area is a perfect place to relax after a long day at the beach or around town. We would definitely recommend this house and look forward to our next visit, just not during the busy NYE holiday... Thank you, Larry

Our family of 16 enjoyed being at Casa de la Luna for 7 days. It was a special vacation as we celebrated my 75th birthday with children and grandchildren. The location was good and everyone felt safe. We especially enjoyed the outside pool area and all 16 of us were able to eat at the table. Malina cooked for us each night which was an added bonus. The food was excellent and we enjoyed our time with her. It was helpful that our daughter speaks Spanish. Communication would have been more challenging without. The beautiful beach was within walking distance of the house which everyone enjoyed. It would have been helpful if the information informed renters that they will need transportation once they get to the house. The information we had before hand sounds as though everything is conveniently located. For example it would have been helpful to know there is no grocery store within walking distance. We ended up renting a few ATVs and a golf cart. Some of the information that describes the property is out of date and I believe that will be fixed. We found a guide (Miguel at 506 8543 2164) that we would highly recommend using. He is very knowledgeable about the area and we used him as our guide whenever we could.

Wonderful experience all around. We had a group of 4 couples for a long weekend, and Nicky's place was perfect. A short walk to everything - the beach, yoga, town, restaurants. We highly recommend Milena and her cooking - on our arrival day Milena had dinner waiting for us - fresh snapper ceviche, handmade tortillas for snapper tacos, and all the fixings. Nicky was a great communicator...tons of helpful recommendations leading up to our trip (airport travel, golf cart rental, things to do, etc). The house was a great fit, but Nicky and Milena made the experience even more enjoyable. We'd gladly stay here again.

Group of ten surfers rented house. Great location! Great amenities at house. Exactly as advertised. We were able to walk to beach and surf breaks no problem. Milena cooked amazingly well.
