The house was perfect for our group, and the daily caretakers were so lovely and helpful. The beach nearby is beautiful and quiet with amazing surf. Note there is a large construction project across the street, but the noise wasn’t overly troublesome.
One of the best houses in Iguana and somewhere I'm already thinking about returning to. The pool area is the perfect hangout spot after a long surf session and we even had some monkeys join us in the trees above. The bedrooms were perfect and provided just enough privacy to escape from your friends. The service included was top notch - from check-in with Fernando to the surprise laundry service, everything was smooth and efficient.
We had an amazing time in hacienda iguana and the owner and staff were superb. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the caretakers. The community felt safe, welcoming and warm.
Ernie's place was a fantastic place to spend our time in Hacienda Iguana. Location was perfect, house was very clean (and kept clean daily), and Ernie was so helpful with helping us to organize our travel to/from his place. It was our first time in Nicaragua as a family and we will absolutely go back, and stay at Casabella again!
We really enjoy this property. We have stayed here a few times now and everything has been excellent. It’s quite unique with its interior courtyard and pool. There’s lots of space for friends to hang out, and lots of space where you can get away and read a book. I really enjoyed it !
What beautiful home! Everything was perfect. We really loved the layout. The courtyard pool was stunning and so great for hanging with friends privately. The kitchen and living room were well appointed and had all that you would ever need.
Beautiful house, amazing pool. Few steps from the beach. I liked that you were in the middle of both surf spots! Had a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back.
Outstanding. This was a fun and versatile stay. Good proximity to ocean. Private courtyard with pool. Original house design. We could watch the youngest child swim while preparing meals. Teenagers stayed occupied with swimming, golf, bodyboards…All around a perfect beach getaway. Ernie undersold the surrounding area. Multiple restaurants within a half mile. All accessible by golf cart, which you can rent…Three coffee shops, and a brewery! It’s difficult to find an ipa in Nicaragua, I looked…Very up and coming location.
This place is fantastic and perfectly located right in the middle of the beach, with direct access just across the street. My wife and I loved sitting upstairs with our morning coffee, listening to the sound of the ocean. The kids couldn’t get enough of the pool, and the courtyard makes you feel like you're inside the house—even though you're outside.The onsite staff were excellent—very attentive, making sure everything was in working order and keeping the house clean every day.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back.Side note: this house can easily accommodate multiple families—plenty of space for everyone!
We had a great time. Property is worth it for the pool alone. Power went out last day due to storm but was all good during our stay - good AC, helpful folks around, nice kitchen. The couch could be a bit more comfortable but all around a wonderful home!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is spectacular with the courtyard in the center and the pool. It is literally across the road from the beach. Marlene and Fernando were so helpful and took care of everything for us. We felt like we were royalty!
The proximity to the beach is awesome. It’s across the street so it’s perfect! We loved the house. AC in the dining, living room and kitchen! Rooms are big and have plenty of space. Everything was clean and the pool in the middle is great!
This property was exactly what we wanted
Excellent customer service and availability to all of us
Cleaning was exceptional and done in a timely timeframe
Beach access was incredible
No problems whatever and I’m definitely gonna book again
Thanks
Our daughter Ana described Casa Bella as a beautiful flower that opened its sturdy petals for us to rest on.
We truly enjoyed our stay. It’s one of the most restful places. The beach is so close and easy to access. Our family ages range from 70 years to 11 years old and the house was perfect for everyone. The staff is very kind and attentive. They keep the house very clean and in very good condition. We would definitely stay again.
My wife and I along with 5 friends had an amazing stay at Casa Bella for 7 nights. 30 second walk to the beach, great waves for surfing, the neighborhood and location had great food and drinks, the sunsets were unreal. A VERY special shoutout to the caretakers Fernando and Marlene for taking care of everything we needed from getting us a shuttle to San Juan Del Sur, organizing massages for our group, cooking up an amazing lobster and chicken dinner, and answering all of our questions. Would 100% recommend Casa Bella to anyone! Also recommend renting a golf cart to cruise around the neighborhood to the store, bars/restaurants, etc.
The house is beautiful and very clean. One bedroom had only very hot water in the shower making it almost impossible to shower and another one had no water at all.
Apart from that everything was perfect, the house was very well equipped and house staff very attentive.
The location of this property was perfect. The layout of the home was wonderful. Everyone had their own bedroom & bathroom. Plenty of separation between the rooms so lots of privacy. The courtyard pool was awesome. Fernando & his wife were wonderful caretakers & always responsive. The owner was accessible by phone for any needs. The bikes & surfboard availability was above & beyond. I will always try to book this property for all future visits.
It was very easy arriving at Casabella. The caretaker, Fernando, was waiting for us. The house is a beautiful colonial style home. It is very apparent that good care is taken of the property. The kitchen was very well appointed. We appreciated that the freezer had lots of ice for us when we arrived. There were lots of towels for the pool. There was plenty of outdoor furniture to use. The property is directly across the street from beach access which made it very easy to get to the beach with the children. Our two hiccups were that 1. The Jacuzzi tub in the master suite did not work, would not even hold water without standing on the stopper. 2 We had a power outage in the evening, and there was no generator back up and no one present on the property to help. Otherwise, we very much enjoyed staying at Casabella and would recommend it.
