Great place right on the beach, hosts were very helpful we had a lovely week there.

Robin reached out to me providing information about what to bring and what to expect. Belinda and Chico, the caretakers, responded quickly to all our requests. We enjoyed getting to know Chico, Belinda, and their extended family. Playa San Diego is very mellow. The beaches are clean. The waves are excellent for body surfing. Beautiful sunsets. The Casita Nica was perfect for our family of four.

If you want a beach front view, and easy access to ocean, this is the place, as are two other units that Robin also rents out on airbnb. If you want American style comfort, upgraded hvac air conditioning, pay an extra $50-$100/day and go next door to Gran Pacifica. (We drove thru GP out of curiosity - a development that's been around for 15-20 years, but still has only ~25 houses [and however many condos] - and were saddened by lack of development. Another 20 years before it's a real community.) Do bring in food - no stores short of Managua. Fridge, stove, and dishes were more than adequate. The local beach is not good for swimming, but is great for wading and being battered about by the waves once you determine where the rocks are. Waves are superior to medication for colds, the blahs, and much else. Robin's second story rental in front of this one is best value at ~$90/day, as you can sleep on balcony facing the ocean. "Sounds just like the freeway!" :^)

This was our favorite spot we stayed at in Northern Nicaragua!! Nobody around. Cool restaurant about four spots down. Can easily eat at Gran Pacifica if u meet anyone staying there. If you are an experienced surfer then you know why your coming here. I'm not going to say much more because we surfed both breaks alone basically for 2 days. I would like to do that again one day, And out of respect for the cool land owners we met too!! There is surfing for novice surfers too. Just an incredible place that ranks very high in all my travels. I loved the house. It is basically ocean front. We were super happy here and wished we would have stayed here for the whole ten day trip. Can't wait to go back!!!

Gran lugar para un grupo de surfistas para conseguir buenas olas y la experiencia local

Hemos ampliado nuestra estancia en Nicaragua debido a la casita de Robin estaba disponible y nos quedamos encantados de haberlo hecho. Es una verdadera joya - único, limpio, y literalmente a unos pasos de la playa. Disfrutamos de las vistas al mar desde la cubierta y pasamos un montón de tiempo de balanceo en la hamaca disfrutando de la tranquilidad. Este es sin duda un lugar aislado, un lugar para alejarse de todo. Era una playa tranquila con el surf increíble (gracias por el uso de la tabla larga y boogie board), que pasamos nuestros días chapoteando en el agua con nuestro perro y recoger conchas en la playa. Había un montón de madera de deriva de tener una fogata maravilloso en la playa por la noche, así que sin duda hizo que la estancia más especial. El cuidador del lugar, Belinda, se aseguró de que fueron recibidos y atendidos por nuestra estancia. Ella no podía hablar Inglés, pero entre mi muy limitado español y traductor (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN), sin duda conseguimos por. La casita es espaciosa y equipada con lo básico y asegúrese de llevar todos sus alimentos / necesidades de alimentos con usted. Hay una pequeña pulpería (tienda de conveniencia) con algunas pequeñas tiendas de comestibles en ella, pero muy poco y menos que quiera entrar en la estación (a sólo 10-15 minutos a pie por la playa) - que parecía extraño y fuera de lugar para tales un pequeño lugar pintoresco por lo que evitó que - sólo hay un otro hostal / restaurante a poca distancia (Mind the Gap) y nos pareció que era demasiado caro y no tan bueno como cualquier cosa que sería capaz de preparar en la casita. Tuvimos un gran tiempo de cocción hasta nuestras propias comidas. Cómo llegar: Tenga cuidado si estás usando (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps y estar seguro de encontrar las direcciones que te llevan a través de San Rafael del Sur o una de las ciudades en el lado norte si viene directamente de Managua. Se nos ocurrió a través de Jinotepe con una camioneta 4X4 y (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) nos envió en una carretera secundaria loco, se tambalea por un camino de herradura, a través de un río, etc. Eso fue una experiencia en sí misma, pero hay carreteras decentes, donde se puede conducir un coche justo fuera de la playa (recomendado). Nuestras únicas quejas son que: 1. La señal wifi era muy débil a veces y no había noche en la que no tenía ninguna conexión en absoluto - pero al estar desconectado no era necesariamente una mala cosa; y 2. Tuvimos que salir. Si hubiéramos tenido tiempo y las tiendas de comestibles, fácilmente podríamos haber quedado una semana (o mucho más) para disfrutar de la serenidad, el sol, las olas, y el área. Una última nota: Hay un par de perros callejeros muy amable / playa / vecinales. Recoger una bolsa barata de alimentos para perros con sus alimentos y hacerse un par de nuevos amigos peludos. ;) Gracias Robin y Vicky!

Wij zijn hier geweest met een gezin met 3 kinderen. Heerlijke plek aan het strand,gezellig huisje. Veel mooie schelpen gevonden en in de golven gespeeld. De bewakers waren super behulpzaam en vriendelijk. Robin en zijn familie waren er ook. Prettige hartelijke mensen. Het is niet heel makkelijk bereikbaar, wij namen een taxi vanaf het vliegveld, maar dan heb je ook wat en kan je een paar dagen lekker bijkomen van de vlucht.

The house is comfortable has all kinds of utensils to cook everything as said the only thing is that the wifi did not work and no clear signal Movistar arrive, and has q save a lot of water because it does not much

Laurie was very responsive and easy to work with. Her place gives you access to both surf breaks within the Gran Pacifica. I had a great experience and will definitely rent from Laurie again in the future.

Laurie est une hote attentive et répond très rapidement au besoin ou au demande.

Laurie's place is an ideal to go to the beach, surf, fish or simply relax. The place was super clean and very comfortable. You can use tye community pool or swim in the ocean. You can prepare food in the house or dine in a restaurant near by. We had a great time and i would definitely stay in her place in the future.

This house was adorable and really well equipped for an extended stay. Laurie was quick to answer any questions we had. Looking forward to a return trip.

Super helpful and great place.

We really enjoyed the beautiful casita! The pool is 10 steps away and the golf cart was super fun, easy to use and nice to access the beach with! Beach, pools, surfing, sunsets all amazing! Adelma was very active in helping us reach the location safely and Adelmas mother was very kind and helpful at the casita. Although our stay was wonderful, there was a lot of miscommunication. They said there would be wifi, when there was not. They told us we could take the golf cart out of the community, which wasn't even an option. And the kitchen was said to be preped for cooking but was limited. The location is not what we expected-the gran Pacifica area is very isolated. Difficult if you don't have a car, but if you do, stop to eat at Burrito Bandito, as the gran Pacifica restaurant is very expensive. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!

Great spot! Very quiet and comfortable. It's a short walk to the hotel/restaurant/beach from the casita and maybe 10 minutes to Asuchillo in the golf cart. Adelma and Nelson were a pleasure to be talk with! We enjoyed our stay very much and we'll definitely be coming back.

Si estás buscando para alojarse en este lugar pero no puede permitirse el caro Gran Pacifica Resort que éste es el lugar! Es un estudio sencillo con todas las necesidades básicas, incluso una ducha caliente! La cocina es básica pero es bueno para cocinar simple y hay una piscina y carrito de golf para su uso. La propiedad está situada en el terreno del complejo, así que son libres de usar la piscina de resorts y restaurante también. Creo que la relación calidad-precio por la ubicación es muy buena y sin duda lo recomendaría para alguien con un presupuesto que quiere visitar esta parte de Nicaragua nuestros anfitriones eran muy atentos, amable y todo lo que necesitábamos. Yo volvería.

Great location. The house is large and in a very quiet area. Walking to the beach and other amenities is very easy and close. A very safe location. The Host - Javier - is an excellent communicator and very attentive to answering your questions. Katy is brilliant and was always close by and willing to assist if required. We love the area and will return again soon.

Good location just 1 hour from Managua, the house is very spacious and meets expectations for a family group of 6 people.

Nuestra estancia en casa chocolate fue espectacular, la casa muy bonita y super espaciosa, nos atendió Juanita; excelente persona y super dispuesta y muy educada, atención de calidad! al igual que Don pedro que siempre estuvo atento a nuestras necesidades, el lugar en general ( Gran pacific ) es bastante solitario y el buen baño en la playa, esta bastante retirado, pero eso ya esto esta fuera de las manos de nuestro anfitrión, se tiene que trabajar en mejorar la apariencia de los baños y mas camas para albergar realmente a 10 huéspedes, Mercedes nos contó que ya están trabajando en eso y seguro así sera! No hablamos personalmente con Don Javier pero nos enteramos que el siempre estuvo pendientes de nosotros y se lo agradecemos muchísimo. Gracias por permitirnos disfrutar de su bella casa.

Meget god oplevelse. Vi tilbragte et par dage med min familie på 8 personer og vi var komfortable. Huset er rummeligt, rent og meget godt placeret, da det er ved siden af en golfbane og tæt på stranden. En del har en privat pool i meget god stand perfekt til at nyde med familien. Javier besvaret alle mine spørgsmål hurtigt og klart. En meget god oplevelse generelt. Jeg anbefaler det uden tvivl.

Estupendos anfitriones, excelente ubicación y gran casa! ¡Muy recomendable!

My family and I stayed at Casa Chocolate for 4 nights (We should have stayed longer !!!). The house is really big with plenty of space and everything we need for a vacation home with a swimming pool by the terrace perfect for family play There were 6 (4 adults and 2 children) and there is room for 10 people. The house is very well located within walking distance of the clubhouse and beach and Mercedes and her husband (the couple who takes care of the house) are very pleasant and accommodating. A great experience that we are ready to renew.

La casa es sumamente amplia y comoda y bien ubicada. Tener piscina propia fue ideal para estas epocas de alto turismo. Hay varias playas cercanas y a una de ellas se puede llegar caminando. La hospitalidad de Javier fue muy buena, siempre atento a nuestras necesidades y preocupado por que la pasaramos bien. Mis viajes son familiares y recomiendo totalmente Villa Chocolate.

Very nice house,great pool, lovely location and the bedrooms were very nice. Close to the sea, and nice walks around the house. Great views from the balcony too, and birds to say good morning every day.

Stunning location in a private and guarded area. Large place and very modern home. Very close to the beach too! Would have liked some wifi. Also, roads are rocky but not impossible.

La casa es perfecta - excelente diseño y funcionalidad. Podría haber colgado por ahí para las horas y horas PERO, hay mucho que hacer (o simplemente relajarse) a un paseo fácil. Surf / playa es hermosa .... Jon era muy sensible y su cuidador ... Janelle es increíble y muy servicial. No podría haber pedido para cualquier persona mejor.

Cette maison est incroyable! Une cuisine bien équipée et 3 belles chambres. L'emplacement est idéal avec accès à une grande plage de surf et les gens merveilleux à Los Cordones! On reviendra certainement!

The house was very nice, clean, about 10 minute walk to the pool, restaurant and beach. Night time was great, it was nice and quiet. There is 24hr security . Great place to go with family

The beach home in Gran Pacifica is nice and quiet- an easy walk to the pool, restaurant, and beach area. Its also right next to the golf club. Patrick was great- helpful and friendly. He spotted us in the neighborhood one hot day and gave us a lift to the pool! The reception folks and grounds crew were very responsive and helpful.

Aveva un ottimo soggiorno presso la casa! La casa era assolutamente bellissimo e non abbiamo avuto problemi con il solare, anche se era piovosa e grigia durante il soggiorno. L'area di località dispone di un ottimo ristorante e piscina e la spiaggia è grande. Grazie Patrick!

Incrível casa no lindo resort! Excelente anfitrião - Patrick foi muito útil e paciente com as nossas 100 perguntas sobre a nossa reserva! Grandes ondas na praia de Asuchillo também :)

Patrick was a great host. He responded to all of our questions within minutes and was very flexible as well. The house was perfect and the beach there is always amazing. We will definitely be back.

Bel posto. Aveva un grande momento lì. Grazie.

Great host! Very attentive and available!

House was wonderful!!

Het was erg gemakkelijk om te communiceren met onze gastheren en de ligging van het huis is prachtig. We hadden een zeer aangenaam verblijf.

Robin's beach house is in a perfect location and has a lot of potential to be the premier AirBnB in the Playa San Diego area...but the property needs improvements! There is no bug protection whatsoever and the kitchen is completely open to the elements and there are no fans on the patio deck. Making a few simple improvements would go a long way to providing a more relaxed experience, particularly in the form of eliminating bat dung on the veranda! Overall: great location, pleasant neighborhood, pretty buggy and sweaty living conditions. Would I stay here again? Hell yes! But I'd bring a mosquito net!

Wenn Sie auf den Pazifischen Ozean zu hören und zu fühlen wollen, dann ist dies der richtige Ort. Wir haben den Ort, genau wie es beschrieben wird. Mark trafen uns dort, zeigte uns und danach fühlte sich wie zu Hause. Tolles Hotel, würde jederzeit wiederkommen.

Questo è un ottimo posto per fuggire e rilassarsi. La casa ha tutto il necessario, e la spiaggia è incredibile. Esplorare i bagni quando la marea è fuori vale il viaggio in sé. Siamo stati qui due volte, e sono sicuro che ci torneremo. Consiglio vivamente tramonto Onde!

Great host. very helpfull and warm. will definitely come back. great house!

Très bel endroit et très belle maison, totalement conforme à la description. Accueil chaleureux de Mark et aide précieuse des voisins... La plage est très calme et un peu sauvage. La maison est très bien agencée et meublée, la cuisine très pratique. L'endroit est très sécuritaire. A recommander!

Absolutely amazing! Stunning views amazing people! Couldn't have asked for a better time!

Super nice house right on the beach. Good food and surfing. Robin was a great host and helped us with everything. Really recommend to stay in Sunset Waves!

Janelle a été très utile! Il a expliqué en détail l'ensemble des opérations de la maison de la ferme et la mer. Il pain à la banane était délicieux!

We had a fabulous week long stay at Robin's beach house. It has all of the convinces and necessities of home. Robin was an excellent and responsive host. The care takers live next door and are extremely helpful and just great people. 10/10 experience and would recommend to anyone.

The house is lovely, right on the beach, and had everything we needed. We used the many fans to their max as we preferred not to use A/C. Robin was easy to communicate with and helpful, and was even in Nicaragua just down the road for two weeks of our stay and very available to answer questions and help us find our way. When he needed to do some electrical work for a day while we were there, he offered to take us on a day trip with his own truck as compensation - so accommodating! He did many other things for us too. We were very lucky to have him around to help us understand how to get places, as we didn't rent a car, and there is no public transport within 13 km of this tiny beach village. The peaceful isolation of this community means there's tons of relaxation and quiet - on the balcony, on the hammocks you can hang in the yard, and on the beach. If you don't rent a car, then the airport pick up and stopping for ALL the food and water you'll need for your stay is essential (the house has a 5 gallon water dispenser, which we refilled many times given our 1 month stay - we also paid to do another grocery trip part way through our stay). 85$ is quite a reasonable price for the service. There is one tiny nondescript corner store in this village that runs out of a local home/bar than sells a few tomatoes, yuca, a few bottles of alcohol, snacks/chips and canned tuna, but not much else. Thanks Robin for everything and for sharing your secluded spot!

Beautiful house steps away from the beach. Staff was friendly and helpful. The house has everything we needed it and Robin is very helpful and accesible.

We spent only two nights in this wonderful house. Belinda the house lady, who lives directly next door, greeted us with open arms. The house with direct sea access leaves nothing to be desired, we felt really comfortable. The beach is littered with a great variety of shells and the waves are a grin to every surfer. Thank you !

Amazing beach house. We were lucky to find this place. The house had more than enough room. We just brought some groceries and were able to enjoy the beautiful beach backdrop. The ocean was pretty much all ours. The front yard gives access to your own private beach with a fantastic surf. The stars at night were unbelievable. We were lucky enough to catch a meteor shower and the view of the completely unpolluted sky at night was a majestic experience. Highly recommended. The caretakers of the property keep everything in great shape. Enjoy!

Robin, verdaderamente disfrutamos nuestra estadía en playa San Diego. El jardin de lujo, a los niños les encantó la "sala relax"; la cocina y la casa esta muy bien equipada, ademas Mark estuvo siempre atento a cualquier necesidad. Gracias por hacer de nuestro fin de año 2015 un recuerdo especial.

Robin era muy acogedor, alegre, la gente pronto se sintieron cómodos. El alojamiento ha sido bien descrita, que correspondía exactamente a la descripción, la vista es impresionante! existe el paraíso! Por contra, se está lejos de todo lo que debería considerar antes de ir de compras, especialmente si se queda varios días ... Tiene todo lo que necesita en la casa, incluso qué hacer bodyboard! Es muy "simple" pero se siente bien.

Gran estancia! Casa era hermosa. Sin duda me alojaría aquí de nuevo en un futuro próximo.

Very nice house and wonderful night sky with millions of stars. Quiet. On the negative side its is very dusty due to the dry dusty road near by, it is very long walking distance to the sea and the restaurant. maybe 15 min or moore. Have a car and it´s a lovely child friendly beach further up north (10 min drive) Very beautiful and peaceful! We were told we could rent a golf car, but that is not possible, so make sure you have a car.
