Was a wonderful home! Very spacious and clean with beautiful views! The shuttle service made getting around a breeze and was even parking by the unit for a small car (I wouldn't take anything larger than a small SUV up there myself). Some loss of communication with the concierge about groceries and the rental car, but we just figured it out ourselves and it didn't affect our trip. I would highly recommend!

The Villa was clean and comfortable. The outdoor pool and patio was spectacular especially for watching sunsets. Beautiful views of the ocean. Since the villa is so high up the road is very steep and narrow. Parking was challenging with the size of our car - Hyundai Santa Fe. If you’re not a confident and good driver, you may want to leave your car at the bottom and use the shuttle. It was a great location and the owner, and Dani and Sebastian were excellent communicators and very responsive. They had beers, chips and salsa waiting for us which was a nice touch.

Spring Break Vacation

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa 86. Pictures don’t do the views justice. We loved sitting out and enjoying the plunge pool and just soaking in the incredible views. The condo was very well stocked and the beds were very comfortable. Sebastian was so personable and responsive to any questions we had during our stay. Mike and Sebastian were extremely helpful leading up to our stay with suggestions for excursions, places to eat, etc. They really went the extra mile to make sure our stay was wonderful.

Wonderful haven in paradise

Beautiful views and wonderful amenities! Villa 86 at Villa Sol was perfect for our family vacation! The sunsets were outstanding and so visible from the inside and outdoor space. The condo was spacious and perfect for our group of 6- 4 adults and 2 small kids. Seb and his team were so wonderful and helped with any and all inquires. The shuttle service was efficient and took us to the beautiful beach easily. Thank you Michael and Leigh for allowing us to us your beautiful space! We loved it:)

Amazing View

The view is absolutely spectacular! The dipping pool and patio was beautiful. The space is so great. Only flaw is the mattress desperately need to be changed. Don't use the grocery service, its super convenient but very expensive. Stop at walmart in Liberia and pick up your own groceries. Highly recommend!

My family recently stayed at this villa and it was perfect for us. The views from the pool are spectacular! We used the resort shuttle / walked to get to the restaurants for the evening. We arranged to have a private chef one night with the property management company. They also had groceries waiting for us and took care or our dinner reservations. It was a great mix of resort amenities, with the space of a private house. Everything was exactly as advertised and the whole process was very smooth. Loved it!

We had an absolutely amazing time staying at the beautiful villa! The villa was even better in person and the views were breathtaking. We loved feeding the cats visiting daily with the food that the owner had provided for them. The private pool was amazing and being able to use the resort’s pool and bar was a plus! Sebis, the property manager was very attentive and helpful in organizing our trip, recommendations and booking our adventures. I one hundred percent recommend this property to everyone.

Breathtaking view

We spent a week here with another couple and loved the condominium and especially the terrace with the private pool, swings and spectacular view of the ocean and sunsets. At first, it seemed far up and away from the beach, but the shuttle worked well and we did end up regularly walking the 15 minutes down to the beach and taking the shuttle home (Roy the shuttle driver was particularly friendly). The accommodation was spacious and comfortable for four adults. Our host provided beer and a bag of coffee upon our arrival. The owner’s team was highly responsive in getting back to our requests and questions.

We very much enjoyed our stay during Easter Week. We traveled with three adults and 2 small children and loved how everyone had their own room/space. The views are phenomenal and the pool was lovely. We did leave food out for the kitties who visited in the morning. They did not hang around the villa patio after eating. There are a couple of good restaurants outside of the property and you’re a short drive to coco beach if you want more restaurant options. Everything worked well. We got lucky that we had one of the three parking spots by the villa every night. We loved our experience. Thank you so much for making our time so memorable. We’d love to come back and stay here again some day.

Amazing!!

This stay was totally worth it. Amazing views!! Photos can't capture how wonderful it was being there in person. Great place to see the entire bay, including the beach and surrounding town and nature. Enjoyed the local wildlife and the sound of the waves. It's wonderful and peaceful at night with a clear view of the starts if you turn off all lights.. Our kids loved staying there. They loved the cats and saw lots of howler monkeys. You have to be careful with small children as there is a big drop off at the edge of the pool, but as long as you keep an eye on them it's very worth it. Thank you to Prop Mrg, Sebastian for making sure we had everything we needed while we were there.. Lots of things to do in the surrounding area, in Ocotal, Coco beach, Flamingo, and nearly volcanoes. You can also just chill out at the Playa Hermosa beach, which lives up to its name. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

"We had a wonderful stayl! The location was ideal, nestled close to local restaurants and grocery stores, with an unbelievable view that took our breath away. The villa's layout with three separate bedroom suites around a shared common area provided both privacy and a place for gathering. Each room having its own bathroom added a touch of luxury and convenience. The property shuttle was a great perk, making it easy to move around without driving. We also fell in love with Saltina the cat, who became our regular visitor, stopping by for food and a little siesta before heading out again. Our host, Daniela, was incredibly responsive and personable, enhancing our experience further. She even arranged a memorable 4-hour boating trip that included snorkeling and exploring, which we loved so much that we booked a second trip for more snorkeling and fishing. A truly memorable vacation, thanks to the attentive staff and the exquisite setting!"

Million Dollar View!

We loved our stay at Villa 86! The House is very spacious, well equipped, and has one of the most amazing views I’ve ever seen! We really enjoyed spending time on the patio, in the dipping pool and in the kitchen, which can see the whole bay of Playa Hermosa. My kids Love seeing the wildlife and feeding the kitty that came by. The only downside is that drive up the hill! The first time was pretty crazy, but you get used to it after a few times. Parking is very tight. We had a 4runner sized SUV and it barely fit. If you have a smaller car, it will be much easier. However, The view makes it all worth it! Otherwise, the only issue we had was the shuttle service being very inconsistent so getting to the beach was challenging. But thats not the hosts fault nor in their control. We loved our stay and would highly recommend this unit!!

Would stay here again!

We spent a week here and would stay here again! The view was fantastic, and the villa was roomy and comfortable. I’m fairly certain this villa has the best view of any within this resort. We scheduled a sunset sail and private 1/2 day fishing charter through Dani, and both were excellent! Pros: The view, the view, the view! The villa was clean, roomy and comfy. We loved the pool. Easy shuttle service to get around the resort. And you didn’t need to be at a shuttle station to catch the shuttle. Responsive host and concierge. Cats. I liked that the resort wasn’t super touristy. Easy to walk to restaurants, bars, and activities. Resort pool was also nice, with sunny and shady spots, food and drinks available, a dj, hot tub, ping pong and fusball. Weather was perfect the entire week! Cons: Parking next to the villa is limited but we had a small car and it wasn’t an issue. Hills were tough, but you get used to them after a couple of days. Never got used to walking the hills. Resort shuttle stops at 10pm which was fine for us but if you’re staying out at a beach bar later than that, it’s a long arduous hike up the hills to the villa. There were some appliances that weren’t working but Sebastian was responsive and we made do, so it wasn’t a problem. Overall: We had a fantastic vacation, and most of our satisfaction was due to staying at this villa. Thank you to Michael, Dani, and Sebastian for providing such a great rental experience!

Puta Vida

Pros: luxury, cool AC in every room, spacious for a family, clean, those views! playa Hermosa beach is safe, not busy, and close by. The complex has two pools that you can access included in your stay (plus there is a private dipping pool like in the pictures!) plus various activities like yoga and bingo (that we didn’t try). It also has a convenient shuttle to get to the beach, though you can walk if steep hills aren’t a problem. There is security around and I noted CCTV cameras throughout the Villas so it felt safe. Kitchen adequately stocked for cooking, managers are responsive and helpful. The little cats that visited were sweet. Cons: the roads within the gated community are very narrow and the near parking is challenging to get in and out of. We regretted wasting one of our dinners at the attached restaurant (do not get the all inclusive meal package) when there are wonderful restaurant choices right on the beach. Other than the beach itself, there is little to do in Playa Hermosa but if you have a car it’s easy to get to places and there are shuttle and boat tours a plenty. The condo had ants but they went away when we kept everything off the counter (everything was stored in the fridge and freezer including food waste which we disposed of daily- it was conveniently picked up from the curb side each morning). Bed in master bedroom is dipping in the middle so not the most comfortable, and there is a not pleasant smell from the ensuite so we kept the door closed and fan on. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and we felt spoiled there.
