  Very nice, clean and tastefully decorated beach house perched on a hill with a beautiful view of the San Juan del Sur bay. I like this house because of its proximity to downtown San Juan (you can walk) where you can dine or shop or you can also choose to stay home and sit by the pool. The owners offer the services of a cook for the day and her fees are incredibly low. The only problem is that this home is not handicap accessible.

  We had a really awesome time at Casa Tranquila. The house has everything you need and is tucked away in just the perfect spot. We traveled in January and the weather was great. The house sits up high on a hill and we got a great breeze throughout the house. We shopped at the Pali and we bought seafood at the local market. We had some great dinners and got to relax and enjoy the town. You definitely do not need a car but it is a good walk up the house. We had our 3yr old with us and the walk definitely tuckered him out. The only negative for us or more me was that the veranda wasn't very secure for a little one. But that depends of course on your kid, ours is pretty rambunctious so a little stressful for me but everyone survived. Katalina is pretty awesome, anything you need she can arrange for you. My husband wanted to go fishing and she setup that morning. Barrio Cafe is really good for breakfast and Katalina recommended Vivienne's for dinner and it was good and well priced. I definitely recommend Casa Tranquila, it was clean, quiet & met all our needs. Can't wait to stay here again.

  Great place for a vacation. Wonderful view of the bay from the veranda up on the hill. Pool is a great addition. You have to see the night view to really appreciate the area. Very lush vegetation, (we went after the rainy season)

  We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Tranquilla. It was the perfect setting up on the hill just a short walk from town. Everything in the house was very westernized and the AC was very nice to have at night. The pool is set in the most amazing spot also and it's truly a tranquil spot to spend a holiday. We would highly recommend choosing this place to stay and in the future we will be considering this place highly again if we come to SJDS.

  Our group of 4 (2 couples around 30 years old) stayed at Casa Tranquila at the start of January and absolutely loved it. We never were able to connect with Harry while we were there, but Catalina was around quite a bit and was one of the sweetest people we'd ever met. My friend and I were walking back from town one day and she happened to be going up to the property in a cab and offered us a ride which was very thoughtful. Beds very comfortable, A/C in the rooms wonderful, always had hot water showers which was a bonus, lots of channels on the TV (not that we used it much!), wifi worked perfectly throughout our stay... pool fantastic (especially after hiking up the hill to the house and being able to cool off instantly!) It's an easy walk into town, I'd say under 5 minutes for sure. Coming back is pretty steep for the last part but anyone in ok shape would have no problem. We took a cab back once and it was only 100 Cordobas so that would have been a great option too, and lots of cabs easy to find. Being up in the hills, we did come across a few creepy crawlies, but as everyone should know - if seeing some bugs is going to ruin your holiday, stay home or at least don't complain about it (and I hate bugs as much as anyone!) Lucky for us, our boyfriends didn't seem to mind taking them outside for us so problem solved! We had spent the first week in the Corn Islands (LOVED), but also really enjoyed San Juan del Sur and the huge assortment of restaurants/bars to choose from, and also having a full kitchen to pick up our own food and drinks to just relax and enjoy the house. Perfect end to our holiday, would absolutely recommend! Oh and if you have a large group travelling together, there is an identical house below which shares the infinity pool.

  What a beautiful place! We had a great stay, enjoying the view and breezes. This trip we became property owners just up the road, and can't wait to start building. We absolutely love San Juan del Sur! Katalina was a gem and WOW can she cook. She helped us keep 4 teenagers happy with awesome food, practiced Spanish with us and became like family. Thanks for having this place in paradise!

  Casa Tranquila is hardly the description we would use to describe our week spent here. Having 8 chicas under one roof was anything but tranquil, though thoroughly fun!! Hats off to Katalina for taking such good care of 8 loco girls. And she sure is one hell of a cook. Our time spent here was short lived but never forgotten. We wish we could stay longer and wake up to a beautiful view and fall asleep to a star filled night sky. Hopefully visit again one day. Thanks again, 8 Canadian girls!!

  I stayed in this house in May and November 2011, and would definitely stay there again. The house is in a very quiet, private area, but the nearby guardhouse and other residences make it a safe and secure place to stay. You can tell that the owners really care about this house, as it is very well equipped. I agree with the owner that air conditioning is unnecessary in the main living area, since the breeze off the water keeps the house quite comfortable. While the house itself is beautiful and well-built, the real selling feature is the gorgeous infinity pool that offers privacy and a great view of the town and the ocean. San Juan del Sur itself is a great place to visit that offers many diverse activities, and the people are great. I would recommend it as a vacation destination to anyone.
