House was wonderful!!

Amazing house in beautiful resort! Excellent host - Patrick was super helpful and patient with our 100 questions regarding our booking! Great waves at Asuchillo beach too :)

Nice Place. Had a great Time there. Thanks.

Had a great stay at the house! The house was absolutely beautiful and we had no problems with the solar even though it was rainy and grey throughout our stay. The resort area itself has a great restaurant and pool area and the beach is great. Thank you Patrick!

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

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.

If you are looking to stay in this location but can't afford the expensive Gran Pacifica Resort than this is the place! It is a simple studio with all basic needs, even a warm shower! The kitchen is basic but is good for simple cooking and there is a pool and golf cart for use. The property is located with in the resort ground so you are free to use the resorts pool and restaurant as well. I think the value for location is very good and would definitely recommend it for someone on a budget who wants to visit this part of Nicaragua our hosts were very attentive, kind, and provided everything we needed. I would come back.

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

Robin was a great host. He responded to our texts immediately, was very good at helping us with whatever we needed, and was always polite and professional. We had a really good time.

The surf was non exsistent. We had a 7 ft swell yet no surfable waves. Did not even get a chance to put the boards into the water because there's only one spot that works on one tide. Very disappointing. The home was nice with a friendly caretaker and a beautiful beach.

La casa es cómoda tiene todo tipo de utensilios para cocinar todo a como se dijo lo único es que el wifi no funcionaba y la señal del Movistar ni claro llegan , y se tiene q ahorrar muchisima agua porque no llega mucha

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.

We extended our stay in Nicaragua because Robin's casita was available and we were thrilled that we did. It's a real gem - unique, clean, and literally steps from the beach. We enjoyed the ocean views from the deck and spent plenty of time swinging in the hammock enjoying the peace and quiet. This is definitely a secluded spot, a place to get away from it all. It was a quiet beach with amazing surf (thanks for the use of the long board & boogie board), we spent our days splashing around in the water with our dog and collecting shells on the beach. There was plenty of drift wood to have a wonderful bonfire on the beach at night as well which definitely made the stay more special. The onsite caretaker, Belinda, made sure we were welcomed and taken care of for our stay. She couldn't speak any English but between my very limited Spanish and (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) translate, we certainly got by. The casita is spacious and stocked with the basics and be sure to bring all your groceries/food needs with you. There is a small pulperia (convenience store) with a few small groceries in it but very little and unless you want to go into the resort (just a 10-15 minute walk down the beach) - which seemed strange and out of place for such a quaint little spot so we avoided it - there is only one other hostel/restaurant within walking distance (Mind the Gap) and we found it to be overpriced and not near as good as anything you'd be able to prepare in the casita. We had a great time cooking up our own meals. Getting there: Be careful if you're using (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps and be sure to find directions that take you through San Rafael del Sur or one of the towns on the north side if coming direct from Managua. We came up through Jinotepe with a 4X4 truck and (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) sent us on a crazy backroad, teetering down a horse trail, through a river, etc. That was an experience in itself but there are decent roads where you can drive a car right out to the beach (recommended). Our only complaints were that: 1. The WIFI signal was very weak at times and there was night where we didn't have any connection at all - but being disconnected wasn't necessarily a bad thing; and 2. We had to leave. If we'd had time and the groceries, we could have easily stayed a week (or much longer) to enjoy the serenity, the sun, waves, and area. One last note: There are a couple very friendly stray/beach/neighbourhood dogs. Pick up a cheap bag of dog food with your groceries and make yourself a couple new furry friends. ;) Thanks Robin & Vicky!

Everything was fine, lady Mercedes was very nice and helpful with us. Mr. Javier answered every question to us immediately. The place is is very nice and secured. The house is big and comfortable. It had everything needed for us to enjoy. We will be back again.

Nice, large home. Good for family and kids. The host was very responsive to my emails and texts.

Muy buena experiencia. Pasamos un par de días con mi familia de 8 personas y estuvimos muy cómodos. La casa es espaciosa, limpia, y muy bien ubicada, pues está al lado de un campo de golf y muy cerca de la playa. A parte tiene una piscina privada en muy buen estado perfecta para disfrutar con la familia. Javier respondió todas mis dudas de forma rápida y clara. Una muy buena experiencia en general. Lo recomiendo sin dudas.

La casa fue todo lo que esperábamos y mas, muy cómoda y bonita. Javier se contacto conmigo en el momento que hice el booking y fue muy amable ayudando con direcciones y recomendaciones. El staff que nos recibió también fue muy amable y nos hizo sentir en casa inmediatamente. Definitivamente recomendado.

Great hosts, great location and great house! Highly recommended!

Javier's house is spacious and very comfortable, in a quiet and well maintained resort development. Mercedes, the caretaker, was very helpful and welcoming and helped organise our onward journey to Leon. The long, clean ocean beach is delightful, good for surfing and a morning jog/walk. We enjoyed three very relaxing days.

Ma famille et moi sommes restés à Casa Chocolate pour 4 nuits ( Nous aurions du y rester plus longtemps!!!). La maison est vraiment grande avec plein d'espace et tout ce dont nous avons besoin pour une maison de vacances avec une piscine au bord de la terrasse parfaite pour jouer en famille Nous étions 6 ( 4 adultes et 2 enfants ) et il y a de la place pour 10 personnes. La maison est tres bien située à quelques pas du club house et de la plage et Mercedes et son mari ( le couple qui s'occupe de la maison ) sont tres agréables et arrangeant. Une excellente experience que nous sommes prets à renouveller.

Una casa muy acogedora, una arquitectura bien elaborada, una piscina bien confortante... en medio de un paraíso... nuestro anfitrión excelente y pendiente de cada detalle.

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.

The house is perfect - excellent design and functionality. Could have hung out there for the hours upon hours BUT, there is so much to do (or just relax) within an easy walk. Surf/beach is beautiful.... Jon was very responsive and their caretaker ...Janelle is amazing and extremely helpful. Couldn't have asked for anyone better.

This house is incredible! A fully stocked kitchen and 3 beautiful bedrooms. The location is great with access to a great surf beach and the wonderful people at Los Cordones! We will definitely be back!

Janelle fue muy servicial! Nos explicó con mucho detalle todo el funcionamiento de la casa y de finca del mar. Él banana bread estuvo riquísimo!

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.

Estaban esperándonos , para entregarnos las llaves en la casa de al lado , y el trató fue muy correcto. Todo bien , la casa tiene de todo , lo único que le falta es aire acondicionado y WiFi por lo demás esta completa

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

My family and I recently stayed at sunset waves for 9 days, never been to Nicaragua before and we didn't know what to expect. As a surfing family we got way more than we bargained for. This place and people were wonderful. Met the caretakers as we arrived, very late from traffic and hungry. Was taken down to a local hostel called mind the gap which was a life saver as well as Americans. If you want a life changing experience and priceless memory than sunset waves is the spot. A smile on my face while writing this doesn't do it justice. Thank you Robin for a wonderful opportunity sharing this hidden secret. P.s To visitors, use gps to get around, not many street signs. You will see us again.

Sunset Waves is an incredibly beautiful set up for a group of surfers looking to relax in a comfortable, totally contained home! Each of the private 3 rooms has AC, there are 2 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and an outside rinse station. The beach is fantastic. The neighbors are so helpful and kind. While we didn't get to meet Robin, Mark was there waiting for us and responsive to any need (which was only to ask for towels because we forgot ours!) The location is secluded, down 11 km of dirt road, and there is a wonderful little resort with great amenities close by if you want other activities. Leon is about 1.5 hours away and there are many sites to visit within a couple of hours as well. We loved our stay! People are friendly and the countryside is beautiful. We opened our windows to enjoy the sound of waves at night.

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

We stayed the whole, beautiful, delightful month of December at Sunset Waves. The Playa San Diego came right up to the house. The sound of the Pacific waves lulled and pounded, depending on the tides. Low tide pools formed in the rocks. Loved watching the pelicans and birds. Fishing boats stopped by at times to sell fish, or just down the coast there are fishing villages for fresh catch for dinner. We took day trips to explore Nicaragua, but we're always pleased to return to the beach house. This is simple living, cold showers, a basic spigot in the kitchen, but everything works! We had everything we needed, even AC in the bedroom. Robin is terrific and very responsive. Mark checked in on us whenever he was around. The caretaker family made us feel like family. The road to the beach was very washed out in the first of the month, but by the end they had actually graded and smoothed it out. We loved driving along looking at the sugarcane fields. Cows, ox driven carts, dogs, chickens, pigs and horses all shared the road each trip. The longer we were there, the more we discovered in terms of where to find supplies, groceries, gas etc. Managua was best for stocking up. The road to Leon is wonderful and only 30 minutes more, if even, so we made the most of our day trips, touring and shopping. We aren't surfers, but enjoyed watching. This place is still quiet and unspoiled. We loved it. On Wed, Jan 11, 2017 at 11:57 AM Airbnb wrote: Airbnb Profile Picture How was your stay at Robin’s place?

Robin's Sunset Waves is a hidden treasure! You will find everything you need in the house, rooms are comfortable and each one has a/c, the view from the balcony is breathtaking, the covered area is a nice place to relax and hang the hammocks. The kitchen has all the utensils you need, just bring groceries, make a good list since there is only one little convenience store around and it is not well stacked. San Diego beach area is very quiet and peaceful, staying at Sunset Waves is like having your own private beach. The caretakers are nice people and they are around to help. Robin is a great host, he will respond to your inquires quickly.

Beautiful, peaceful beach! Nice house and we had everything we needed to enjoy our visit. Loved our stay. Thanks!

Muy lindo lugar, muy tranquillo y vamos a regresar.

Communicating with Patrick was easy and he responded promptly, but one time I called him to tell him that the washer did not work and all the water of it came out and he said that he would call someone to repair it which did not happened because when I tried to wash again, it did not work. The dryer did not work either. The home does not have a/c and he does not have any screens in the front door which you could open to let the air in. The bedrooms and living area do have screens, but since the wind was coming from the side where the front door was located and it did not have screens, we had mosquitos in the home when we opened it for a period of time. The master bedroom is the only room that has a/c, but it barely cools and they want you to keep it at a certain temperature which made it uncomfortable to sleep at night. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The home was nice, roomy and clean, but is far away from anything. We had a vehicle and could travel somewhere, but the roads make it difficult because they are not paved which forces you to eat at the only restaurant they have. The kitchen had a couple of pots and pans to cook, but anything you cooked was stuck on them even milk (since there is no microwave) and we warmed up some milk. We cooked eggs and we had to work hard to get them off the pan. No glasses other than plastic which makes drinking wine "not inviting." I love to cook, but this home made it difficult because they did not have the basics such as salt, pepper or anything else we are used to have in many airbnb's in the States. Other than the issues stated above, we still had a good time, but would not lease the solar home again.

This is a beautiful house, and it is great that you have access to such a nice beach and resort. The resort staff is great. We were worried about being able to charge all of our equipment due to it being a solar powered house, but that was not a problem at all. In fact, we stayed at a hotel in a different part of Nicaragua the night before, and unfortunately the power went out. Turns out that solar power was an advantage.

Nuestra estadia fue muy placentera. Algo muy especial fue la intencion del anfitrion de hacernos sentir lo mas comodos posible por medio del personal de servicio al cliente. Excelente.

We had a fun few days at Casa Charo, few challenges but all resolved amicably by Patrick.

Great resort and house, the house is next to the golf course. If you want privacy this is the right choice for its price is the best option here. Very clean, cozy and with all the space you need for 7people. The staff is excellent, they really care about your comfort at any time, and try to give you the best solution for your requests. The solar power was an issue, it works pretty good but if you come with 6-7 people you will need to be very strict with the power consumption. The house was very clean but the kitchen tools wasn't complete, we had to ask the front desk anytime we needed plates, towels as soon as we realize there wasn't enough, they responded very quickly our requests. Wifi, there was no way we could get signal, they gave us the wifi password but even at the house next door where the modem was, we couldn't connect. The second night we ran out of power in the middle of the night, the staff was very kind and gave us a room at the hotel.

Muy bonita y acogedora, el único inconveniente es el aire acondicionado.

Great place to stay at Gran Pacifica!

Great experience! This place was perfect for us and we loved the people in this small town.

Fin de semana increíble ! Tuvimos la oportunidad de disfrutar en familia todas las bellezas naturales de una playa casi virgen y además de sentir la hospitalidad de Robin y su personal ( Belinda y Frank ). La casa es excepcional, muy cómoda, decorado marino de surf, juegos de mesa, amplia cocina, áreas de descanso ( hamacas y ranchito ) y sobretodo el placer de sentirte en tu casa!! Definitivamente un lugar inolvidable! Nos fuimos con nostalgia y ansiosos de ser nuevamente sus huéspedes . Ojalá sea muy pronto ! Felicidades y muchas gracias Robin!

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!

Cette maison est tout simplement magnifique!!! Un paradis sur terre!!! Par contre, il est très important d’arrêter faire les courses avant d'arriver, car il n'y a aucun marché a proximité. Puis, il n'y a pas de taxi dans les environ. La personne responsable de la maison charge 80$us pour nous amener a Managua faire les courses. Alors, faut vraiment prévenir avant d'arriver. Notre séjour a la maison sur la plage fut merveilleux, la tranquillité!! L'endroit est parfait pour les enfants!! Il n'y a aucun touristes au alentour!! C'est parfait!! Les gens du village sont hyper sympathique et que dire du poisson et des langouste fraîche du jour!! Un délice!! Je vous recommande c'est charmante maison, vous ne serai pas déçu!!! :)

Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay. Mark, the host, was there to greet us the first day and was more than hospitable. He even took the time to give us some quick surfing tips for us beginners. The house had all we needed and was very comfortable. It was literally a step onto the beach and then into the waves, and when it got too hot we could retreat to the hammocks and lots of shade in the private yard. My only caution would be to watch for the rocky reefs on either side of the front beach which can be dangerous especially when they're hidden by hide tides. But we all agree we'd rent Robin's place again in a heartbeat. Thanks so much!

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.

I stayed here two years in a row. One of my favorite in Nicaragua. Robin and his team will make sure your stay is as perfect as can be.

Robin était très accueillant, la maison était bien équipée et propre. Belinda était avenante et serviable. Très isolée (n'oubliez pas de faire une grosse épicerie dans une grande ville), la playa San Diego est l'endroit idéal pour décrocher et la plage est belle. Il y avait des planches de bodysurf à notre disposition et cela a été extrêmement apprécié par les enfants. Robin was very welcoming, the house was well equipped and clean. Belinda was super nice and helpful. Very remote (be sure to make your grocery before you arrive), playa San Diego is the perfect place to relax. There were bodysurf at our disposal and it was extremely popular with children.

The house was as described in the pictures . Great Location and neighbors ( Kelly and bunker ) were very nice :)
