One of our best......

Just got back from SJDS and we had a great time. Villa Noche is beautiful and the staff (Memo, Claudia, and Armando) could not have been nicer or more accommodating. They really took care of us. You really do have a fantastic location.......never seen such beautiful sunsets. The town of San Juan del Sur was great for us. It is still not really developed (which we liked very much) so it is not full of thousands of tourists. Even though our Spanish was poor, the people were very nice to us and it was a real pleasure. We have done a lot of travelling in our time, including many trips to the Caribbean and Mexico, and this trip was one of our very best. We were so impressed with the food in the restaurants in town (and at the villa) and how reasonable the prices were. We also enjoyed our sunset cruise and fishing trip, and "Captain" Joey took great care of us. All in all, a simply wonderful time.

Why would one leave Paradise?

We had a wonderful time at your place. Other than going out with the family for dinner one evening, I did not leave the place. Why would one leave paradise? There were numerous places at your house which provided a variety of spectacular views of the ocean and bay from different locations while at the same time allowing for the comfort of being separate from other activities that were taking place. The architecture is wonderful. Who designed it for you? It is practical as well as beautiful. You must have had a wonderful builder. The privacy of its location is to be treasured. I like rounded spaces and lots of room and your place more than fulfilled my wishes. I was also impressed with your staff and how well your home is maintained, which is not easy in that climate. Even when there was other family at the house there were lots of places to be by yourself and take in the view, comfort and peace. My husband was enthusiastic about the open spaces and extra-large chairs. It was a big treat for him, being 6’4” to not only have chairs that are not built for small people, but even to allow his feet to “dangle”. What a pleasant contrast. We have stayed at a variety of vacation places throughout the world: Fiji, Australia, England, Portugal, Kenya, Italy, Shanghai, Vietnam and many others. This space suited us the best. We have previously stayed at attractive places in Nicaragua and enjoyed them, but your house is the winner. We took lots of pictures and have been showing them to friends. The relaxation mode and extra rest that I was provided suited me, given my recent work schedule.

Best active and relaxing vacation ever

Villa Noche sits atop a hillside over looking the pacific ocean. The villa is very open and spacious with a constant sea breeze through out the villa. My favorite part of this vacation was awaking and falling asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing below. Also having my morning coffee on the balcony and getting my thoughts together for the day. The staff was very accommodating and pleasurable to be around. We took day excursions to the nearby beaches where we would go surfing, fishing trips on the Aquaholic and a ferry ride across Lake Nicaragua to check out the volcanoes. We kept our day trips somewhat short so we could come back and enjoy some relaxing time by the infinity pool. It was by far one on my best vacations ever and I can not wait to go back next year!

Amazing house- amazing staff-- the perfect vacation

The pictures on the listing don't do this villa justice. Breathtaking views from almost every room. The house is stunning. A fully equipped kitchen, large comfortable beds, top of the line furniture. The wireless worked everywhere in the house and was super fast. The house sits on a cliff overlooking the pacific. Peaceful but convenient with town only a few minute drive away. I can't say enough about the staff-- Claudia, Armando and Memo... Aside from cooking great meals (banana pancakes and fresh juice for breakfast, lobster dinners) and keeping the house spotless they played endlessly with my toddler-- taking her swimming, showing her the gardens and animals near by. We both cried when we left. A true 5 star stay in a 3rd world country. ALC Pensacola, FL

Did not want to leave

Villa noche is the ideal rentAl house in San Juan del sur, Nicaragua. The rental house has an incredible view of the most scenic town in nicaragua and the pacific ocean. The Amazing view is only rivaled by the outstanding rental house staff of memo, Armando, and Claudia. They made myself, along with my wife and two children, feel like royalty. The staff meet our every need and guided us into the town of san juan del sur nucaragua and to distant beautiful beaches. There is nothing like going to sleep at ville noche and hearing the pacific ocean!

Wow … wow… wow. We wanted to let you know what a truly fabulous stay we had at Villa Noche. The house is absolutely gorgeous – and the view is unbelievable!! We felt like celebrities for the week. Nothing beats waking up to that ocean view...not to mention enjoying delicious meals (especially fresh pina coladas - thanks to Armando, lobster, and homemade guacamole). We had planned on venturing out more but had a hard time leaving the villa. Definitely a trip we will never forget and will absolutely do again! Thanks!Laura, David, Carlos & Carly

Sublime - the only word to describe a sunset viewed from Villa Noche. Watching the sky paint itself pink and orange as the sun drops away is the perfect end to a laid back day on the waves or the start of a lively night in SJdS. There's not an uncomfortable spot in the place, and if there were, the adorable Memo and Armando would quickly see to it along with anything else you need to make your stay even more incredible. The food is delicious - holding its own with any restaurant down the hill, and served with a view that leaves every table in town envious. Whether your plans for Nica are surf, fish, or chill - Villa Noche is a once in a life time experience, best repeated often. Thank you for a lovely time. -Karn SF, CA

Villa Noche is beyond awesome! The large open house, the beautiful pool, the relaxing Jacuzzi, the tropical landscaping, the Pacific Ocean view with the sound of the waves rolling in, the view of the quaint fishing village of San Juan del Sur with the boats anchored in the bay and the houses trailing up the mountain side, the colorful parrots and the macaw, Memo and all of the wonderful meals and Joey and the fishing trip on the Aquaholic ~ what a wonderful week we had!!!!!! In addition to all the great meals Memo prepared, he was also a wonderful driver for our day trips to the historical city of Granada, the volcano and craft center of Massaya , the quaint floral center of Catarina, the beach at Playa Coco and the capitol city of Managua. I could go on and on about sighting the huge turtles coming in to lay their eggs or Lake Nicaragua and the archipelago of hundreds of small islands or the beautiful old cathedrals, but you just need to go see it all for yourself. Villa Noche is an unforgettable place. Thank you, Thank you! Garland and Sandra, Willis, Texas September, 2008
