Property includes 3 house staff which are responsible for interior and exterior cleaning along with meal preperation and cooking. \- The house staffs time is dedicated to specifically completing the responsibilities that are associated with the property. Specific personal request outside of staffs property responsibilities are prohibited. \- Electricity is the single most expensive cost in the home. Most properties do not offer any courtesy kilowatts/electric, it usually falls on the full responsibility of house guests, and if it is offered, the price per day to rent the property far exceeds any benefit realized by the given kilowatts/electricity. We have taken an innovative approach with our property: we have proactively invested a large amount of money in a modern solar system with back-up batteries. By taking this approach, it provides two benefits: 1. The deletion of any issues with power outages and 2. the ability to offer a reasonable amount of courtesy electricity at no charge. This includes no charge electricity up to 60 kilowatts a day. Any daily usage beyond that amount is the responsibility of the house guest at $0.50 a kilowatt. Kilowatt usage is recorded upon check-in and check-out to ensure accuracy of usage. Any usage above the 60 kilowatts must be paid in full prior to check-out. Since check-in and check-out are considered partial days, there will be an equal split of the 60 allotted kilowatts per day with given 30 kilowatts hours each of those days. \- Overflow space available for additional cost; 2 bedroom apartment w/ shared bathroom if needed (inquire before booking). \- At end of stay, it is customary to leave gratuity tip in envelope for house staff. \- Private transportation to and from airport or one-time grocery service prior to check-in is available as a courtesy at a low cost, message host for details. \- Taxi and sightseeing service information provided upon request. \- $200 US or equivalent deposit for overage of electricity is required upon check in. \- Electricity deposit will be fully refunded upon check out less any overages of electricity past the courtesy given amount of 60kw per night. \- The electricity start is captured at time of check in by owner and captured at time of check out by owner. \- If the amount of electricity exceeds the given amount of 60 kwh per night times the number of nights in the given stay it is calculated at .50 per kWh and will be deducted from the security deposit without exception. There is 0 tolerance for negotiationing the overage of the given amount. The amount of electricity consumed directly relates to the amount of energy consumed during the stay. \- If a guest is concerned about the amount of energy they are consuming nightly they may inquire directly with the owner after 24 hour period. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster - Water dispenser ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Bidet - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden - Gas grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Safe ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the ocean ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Motor boating nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Water dispenser ## Similar properties ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33250000/33242400/33242344/76ed2149.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Exclusive Beachfront Large Spanish Estate for up to 30 people, WiFi Pochomil, San Rafael del Sur - Sea view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 9.6 Exceptional 67 reviews £430 includes taxes & fees 1 Oct - 2 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-01&endDate=2025-10-02&selected=33242344&PinnedHotelID=33242344&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78470000/78461600/78461596/b04ca48d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa Madera del playa San Rafael del Sur - Sea view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews £197 includes taxes & fees 9 Oct - 10 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=78461596&PinnedHotelID=78461596&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104910000/104908000/104907902/17b1cebb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Welcome to The Beach House Managua - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 2 reviews £317 includes taxes & fees 1 Oct - 2 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-01&endDate=2025-10-02&selected=104907902&PinnedHotelID=104907902&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96260000/96254800/96254780/b929a301.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mountain View house!

Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### holly G. 12 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beauty and Tranquility We (three couples over 50) stayed for two weeks and loved every minute. The house and grounds are beautiful. The views over the Pacific are stunning. The constant roll of waves is fully audible. We chose to have staff cook our meals, even though we have never experienced such a thing before. That was a great choice. Marbelly is a fantastic cook. She and Fiama took care of our meals (every one of them delicious), cleaning (everything sparkling), and all of our washing. Javier, who watches over and takes care of the beautiful grounds helped us with anything we needed - where to catch a taxi, how much it should cost, how to rent horses to ride on the beach (he did it for us - we insisted he ride with us and we had so much fun with him as guide). Javier went to the store for us, came with us to the store to help us navigate, went out for a late night pharmacy run, and on and on. He is so friendly and approachable. We made full use of the lovely pool, the six hammocks, the gorgeous views from the upstairs balcony, the easy direct access to the beach where we walked early each morning. We could go on and on, but we would not want to neglect mentioning Rogelio, whom John contracted to meet us at the airport and also take us back. But Rogelio did so much more than this - he took us to Costco (called Price Smart in Managua), and another grocery store, also to the currency exchange in Managua. He was our shepherd - so patient, friendly, and helpful. ##### holly G. Stayed 14 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lianne B., England 2 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful place to relax We loved this villa. It truly is stunning. The large open plan kitchen, dining, living area was normally cool with the fans on. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Water was provided in a water cooler that had cold and boiling water. Such a bonus to have boiling water on tap for tea. From a layout point of view 2 of the bedrooms downstairs were ensuite. The front bedroom had a bathroom next to it. Upstairs the master bedroom had a family room attached and they shared the master bathroom that was huge. All bedrooms had air con and fans. Mostly we used the fans and that kept the rooms cool enough although a couple used the air con. The balconies on the house were lovely and there was an amazing sunset view from the master one. The house staff of Javier, Maribel and Fiama were really great. We shared the cooking as there were some things we wanted to do ourselves. The bits we asked them to cook were done really well. Especially the whole fish that we had bought fresh from the local fish market. Maribel and Fiama kept the inside spotless. They cleaned and washed up as well as doing whatever laundry and cooking we required. Javier kept the outside spotless and sourced some surf boards for us. The surfing was not that great in front of the villa though. We loved our stay and John was a great host, really engaged and full of helpful hints. There is not a lot in the vicinity to see or do but if you want a relaxing stay in a luxury villa this is the place for you ##### Lianne B. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Walter P. 4 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful beach house We enjoyed this beautiful house,very clean,the staff are very attentive to every need,very polite and friendly,Francis and Marjorie made us feel so at home they are two super sweet ladies. They accommodated our needs such as preparing delicious foods, cleaning, and maintaining the house. AC works well and wifi works great if you need to do any work away from home. The decor of the whole house was very colorful and lively that it brighten up each room every time you walked in. This house is very spacious which was very beneficial as we were able to have a family gathering take place with comfortable furniture to relax and see the incredible view. We were able to enjoy the sunrise and sunset every day on the balcony and on the beach. The back entrance of the house was also a plus since it has easy access to the beach which was just a few steps away. Mr John was so communicative he was so happy to help with every need or question we had,he quickly answer our calls or text. Highly recommend Mr. John if you want to have a great stay in Pochomil. ##### Walter P. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2022
