Holiday rentals with lake access in Central America

This Airbnb is what Airbnb was supposed to be 10 years ago. It’s not just another property from a manager that you never see. Jean was very warm welcoming and welcomed us herself on our arrival. She was very proactive by giving us some tips from what to do, where to go or eat. She answered really quickly and helped us organized some massage sessions. The property is as described. The heated pool, the private beach and dock. Be aware that there are a lot of steps in the property and that arriving there from San Marcos may be a little difficult because of the road. But in my opinion those aren’t a problem after you see how beautiful it is there. I hope I can return one day

Rosie and her family are incredibly kind and welcoming you can really feel the love they’ve poured into their farm. The property is peaceful, surrounded by lush greenery, and full of wildlife. If you’re looking for a nature-immersed experience this is a wonderful place to recharge. The home has a unique, artistic design with split levels that offer a creative and cozy layout. There is a little sound as from the main road, as described in description, but the macaws disguise it. It’s more of a casual, nature-immersed space rather than a polished, luxury stay—which was totally fine for us, but something to keep in mind depending on your travel style. If you’re planning to relax, explore the area, and enjoy the scenery, it’s a lovely and memorable spot. Take a hike around the property if get a chance! Communication was great, and Rosie was very responsive and attentive throughout our stay.

Sandy was great and provided detailed instructions for arrival. The house was clean and spacious. It was walkable to nearby restaurants and the wedding venue we were attending. The access to the lake was easy and BEAUTIFUL. We were able to rent jet skis right off our dock. Sandy provided everything we needed to make our stay as comfortable as possible. 10 out of 10 recommend staying here. Thank you Sandy.

This place was absolutely beautiful. The ladies that came and cooked for us were amazing. Food was amazing and so worth hiring them to cook for us. There really isnt anywhere to get food from around the area. Josue went and purchased the groceries for us and made sure that we had everything we needed. I cant wait to book this place again.

Casa Blanca was absolutely stunning! The views were great, the house was pristine, and the staff were incredible. There was always someone there to help and they were always ready to respond to our messages and help. We can’t speak more highly of our time there. They gave us great recommendations, and helped us arrange rides to and from our dock.

We had an incredible stay at Isabel & Abdiel’s place - it’s spectacular and the pictures do not do it justice. The rooftop terrace is phenomenal, but so are the bedrooms, bathrooms the kitchen and the balconies. You can watch the world pass by on the first floor balcony or enjoy silence and views upstairs. The kitchen has everything you need, and the best part is how amazing Isabel & Abdiel are. They’re beyond thoughtful, accommodating, and just super nice. We can’t wait to come back!

This was a nice apartment in a local part of San Pedro, close to a couple of Spanish schools. It was clean, the kitchen well stocked and the beds were very comfortable with clean fresh linens. The best part was the above board service from our hosts. We were provided with eggs and bread when we arrived and they responded immediately to any requests. Highly recommend and should we return to San Pedro we would stay here again! Thanks Rosa for all your help.

The place is too beautiful and it's easy to find and on the main street, it's super close and everything is very private, quiet and waiting to return!

Very pretty house with a super nice outdoor area with the highlight, directly overlooking the Arenal volcano. In the morning, I had breakfast there with hummingbirds. There was plenty of storage space in the house and the bed was comfortable. On the way there, you have to pay attention to the signs on the large boulder on the last few metres

The best view I’ve ever had at an Airbnb! The balcony was a dream, and the grounds that the apartment is based on are gorgeous. Deedle and Claudia were super responsive and helpful, and Diego was a superstar! We loved our time here.

Luz and Dale were amazing. Luz showed me all the hot spots and picked me up at the airport. Dale has a small store of apparel and sunglasses that I purchased from. They been there all their lives and definitely pointed me in the right direction. Thanks guys.

Jenny and Clemens’s place is truly magical and an ideal spot for first-timers visiting Lake Atitlán. We instantly fell in love with the stunning views and the peaceful atmosphere during our two-day stay. From the start, Jenny and Clemens were incredibly welcoming and responsive. They helped us arrange roundtrip shuttle service from Antigua and even organized a private lancha to reach their home, making everything so easy. Thanks to their great location, we could walk to nearby spots like Casa del Mundo, Isla Verde, and even take a cooking class in Santa Cruz. Getting around by public lanchas were also simple. Just flag one down at the dock, and the drivers know exactly where to drop you off on your return.

my first time visiting for my birthday and Kenny made it so easy for me to enjoy. He was very communicative & was kind enough to walk us to our room while carrying my luggage also (so sweet). The place was very clean and as described but the pictures didn’t do it justice of our view ! Such a relaxing & beautiful place. I am already planning my trip back :)

It’s really beautiful place,, peaceful,,and safe,,we got lucky to be there… Maria and Carlos are very nice hosts ,,,flexible check in and out,, they are very kind with us,, would love to be back there again;) Thank you so much

This place is beautiful. The apartment is super nice with a great view. Unfortunately, we only stayed one night on our way back to Panama City.. but we would have loved to have more time to check out the pools and beach.

Great location, private and a beautiful view of the lake. One of the best in Santa Catarina

Our family agrees, our stay here was the best vacation we have ever had. The cottage was peaceful and clean and had everything we needed. We made plenty of ‘carne asada’ on the grill and swam in the lake a few times. The local people at both the Yacht club and in San Lucas Toliman were amazing. We recommend going to the market on a Sunday. It’s authentic and not geared as much toward tourism. We highly recommend staying here. You can sit on the porch and watch the lake.

Casita was modern & immaculate with a lovely pool & beautiful surroundings. Its a minimum 20 mins drive from anywhere but if you don't mind that then you'll love your stay.

Very nice stay. Gonna helped a lot with extra information about the area.

a very nice and quiet place. with many public spaces and quiet had an amazing view when you walk out of the cabin. the lack of outside lights during the night especially during check-in made it somewhat difficult. was a little dusty and with cobwebs. the use of the facilities was somewhat complicated in jacuzzi it was empty and turned off in sauna the same and the equipment to make kayac was all under key every time I think q not making a reservation directly with the accommodation it feels like we are not so important to give us that part of the service.

We absolutely loved our time at Estela’s place! Everything about the experience was wonderful from the breathtaking views of the lake to the comfort and cleanliness of the home. The property was exactly as described, and it offered the perfect balance of peace and natural beauty. Waking up to the serene waters of Coatepeque made every moment feel special. We especially appreciated the little details that made the home feel cozy and relaxing. We’d come back in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful escape in one of El Salvador’s most beautiful spots. Thank you, Estela!

My daughter and her boyfriend were there for a bike ride ride. The location was perfect for proximity to the ride and a great environment to relax following a strenuous day! There was a slight mix up with rooms, but it was quickly resolved for everyone. And, my daughter loved the replacement digs (pets included!) Kees is extremely easy to communicate with and very responsive. We highly recommend him and his accommodations.

Galileo is so caring and kind. He help us to take the luggage from the private deck to the house, and when we check out, he helped us to get on a boat to our next destination. He is very caring for his guests. For the property, one thing to note is that the shower head on the top is out of service, so you can only use the handheld shower head. But everything else is super good. Santa Cruz is a quiet town if you want to get dinner you have to reserve beforehand with the local restaurant.

Second stay here- it won’t be my last. Very grateful for such amazing hosts.
