  What a wonderful house! We loved staying on the ocean with the swimming pool in the yard. It was a tranquil, amazing location and we hope to visit again soon. The house was very comfortable, clean and safe. Lots of books in their book library for reading and a tv with cable area upstairs for when the kids needed a break from the pool and beach. We went with just our small family, but it would be great for a larger family group or with friends. Our young kids, ages 5 and 6 LOVED the pool and being able to swim in the ocean. It was great for body surfing and boogie boarding, but safe enough to let them swim alone. The caretakers - William and Brenda were amazing and we felt very safe. We were lucky to see turtles hatching on the beach - what a memorable adventure. Easy walk to Playa Maderas for surfing. We did not have a car and it was fine. Took a taxi from SJDS to grocery store and then out to Casa Del Sol. It is a cheap taxi from the Costa Rican border - $20. We flew into Liberia in Costa Rica and traveled to SJDS on the first night and that was easy.

  Recently a group of us stayed at Casa del Sol while visiting the San Juan del Sur area. We loved absolutely everything about it! The house itself is very nice, with a great outdoor pool/patio area that opens up directly to the beach. Playa Marsella is just beautiful and we were almost always the only people out playing in the water. This beach is not for surfing, but is perfect for playing in the waves, or using the sea kayaks. We loved William and Brenda. Brenda kept the house very nice and clean for us and even washed our beach towels that we left lying around! William was always there to help with whatever we needed wheter it was something with the house, or helping arrange activities for us. He was even able to arrange two cooks to come to the house for our last night there and they cooked the most amazing dinner full of fresh fish. It was incredible. There were a few good little restaurants/bars at the end of the beach, and there was also good food at the next beach over (Playa Maderas). The drive to and from town was not bad at all, and we actually enjoyed being a little ways away from the hustle and bustle of town. We all had the time of our lives at Casa del Sol and would definitely reccomend it to anyone traveling to San Juan del Sur without hesitation!!

  We had a great time! This was not, however, do to the great accommodations. Nothing big was wrong, but lots of little things: the fridge did not keep food cold (okay, this was kind of big) and the caretaker did not get us ice when we asked him to. The downstairs shower was clogged, one of the bathroom sinks had no water coming out of it, the pool was HOT, maybe due to no water movement, no jets or anything to keep the water going. One thing that was very small but particularly irritating is that there were only 5 forks in the kitchen. We had 9 people (the house sleeps 12) and so some of us did not get to use forks for our meals. If you plan to eat in, bring your own silverware. There was also no charcoal for the grill, which I kind of thought should be included if the grill was included. We gave the caretaker 10$ to get some for us. Lastly, if anyone older than 5 is going to be sleeping on the bunkbeds, you might have complaining. Our kids were little, so they didn't notice, but the beds were not normal mattresses, and were really uncomfortable. We DID have fun! But we paid a lot of money, and did not feel like that was reflected in the facilities.

  Owner response: We were very surprised by this review. We immediately contacted the care taker and property manager to discuss the concerns. A repairman was sent to look at refrigerator. We have hard mineral rich well water and shower heads easily become blocked. Our cleaning lady unblocks mineral deposits with a vinegar water solution. The pool is warm because it is a warm climate. The pool water has an automatic filter and water chemistry is checked daily. Last last time we checked, there were plenty of utensils. Our property manager immediately checked silverware after reading review and has replenished what was missing. Yes,adults may not find bunk bed comfortable, but my 3 kids ages 7-15 think they are fine. The house is kept impeccably clean. Our care taker and maid have always been courteous and helpful to guest and we have gotten wonderful feedback about them, so sounds like there must have been a miscommunication about the ice....Ion;t know what happened.... We wish the guest had contacted the property managager immediately if there was a problem. Our property manager would have come over right away to help.

  I had a tour of the house and I have stayed on this beach in the past. It is absolutely gorgeous. I wouldn't hesitate to book a vacation at this beautiful and well kept home. The beach is lovely and the sunsets are spectacular.
