Casa Cascada Colonial House with Pool

Nice house, close to dining. Manager was very friendly and helpful.

I write this as the former owner of two houses in Granada that I rented out through vrbo, so I know how difficult it can be to maintain a rental home there. This house was in amazing condition and maintained perfectly, and it is even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. And the location simply cannot be beat - in a relatively quiet spot but only a block from a lot of "action." Dealing with owner was flawless - always very responsive and easy to work with. The air conditioning units in the bedrooms were in tip-top shape and kept us cool when we needed to sleep. The pool is gorgeous. I was even surprised to find that they had provided some basic toiletries in the bathrooms - nice touch! I would not hesitate for a second to stay here again, and I hope we will!

If I could just mention a couple of tiny items that do NOT affect my overall review, just as a matter of small warning:

1. The property manager does not really speak English. It was not a problem for us with our moderate amount of Spanish, and the owner is a native English speaker. Just made communication take a little longer with her than it would otherwise. She was very nice and helpful, though.

2. There seems to be an issue with the electrical outlets in the dining room area - I plugged into one under a hutch and received two big shocks! Only after that did I notice that on a nearby wall there was a huge black mark where another outlet was, indicating there must have been an electrical fire there. This was the only area where I noticed this - outlets in the bedrooms were just fine, for instance.

Again, these are minor items mentioned only for full disclosure, but this is a first-rate property!

This is a very nice home located in the center of town. Very enjoyable experience.

This a a very nice property in a good location in Granada. We enjoyed staying there.

I have stayed in Nicaragua before and noticed that this property did not offer housekeeping or breakfast (both are usually part of a stay in Granada) and had a strict cancellation policy and asked for a damage deposit. Those things are rather uncommon for the area, but I agreed. I did get a vibe about it especially when I checked in and had to complete a checklist of the condition of everything in the house. The house itself is great and set up with everything you need.

Each of the bedrooms are opened with a key. The doorknobs are levers. Push down they open. Except one. We struggled with opening the door and I was about to call for help with it when I realized it opened just fine if you push up.Before we checked out I made sure all dishes were washed and put away, tables wiped down, trash taken care of, towels gathered and put near washer, etc. When the housekeeper came back to check me out, she walked around checking everything while on the phone with the owner. When she hung up she asked what happened to the door. First I was confused then realized she was talking about the doorknob. I showed her that it worked fine by pushing up. She said ok and let me go.

When I received notification of a return of my deposit, they charged me $85 to replace door knob and another $90 to replace towels and sheets. ( My young teenaged daughter had gotten her period and said there was a spot on the sheets the size of a dime.) I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary when I gathered the towels at the end of the stay so I don't know what that was about.

My advice is that if you stay here, be very very careful ...actually I was careful as I always am with other people's property. This is the only time in my life of extensive traveling that I did not receive a full refund of a damage deposit.

Tuvimos un muy buen tiempo. El lugar es muy hermoso. Bastante tranquilo y con mucha privacidad. Es un sitio muy seguro. La casa es muy acogedora y cuenta con todas las comodidades y espacios para pasar unas hermosas vacaciones.

Granada, una ciudad colonial muy bonita y con muchos lugares para pasarla bien.

Felices de tener esta oportunidad. Excelente ubicación.
