We stayed at Unit 17 in Townhomes El Coco.
The house is located right in front of the beach with a nice garden in between. The house has a lot of space. There are 4 rooms, 3 with one king sized bed and one with two single beds.
There are however a couple of things that could be improved.
- Lack of glasses
- Lamps and light bulbs not working in most of the rooms, dismissed by the owner as not being an emergency.
- The main door lock was broken
- The kitchen oven was not working and one of the kitchen knobs was broken
- There were roaches in some rooms
- Floor mats and towels provided were worn out/quite old
- Cheap toilet paper
Most of these issues were fixed on the first night by the helpful maintenance team but for the amount of money you are paying per night (the equivalent of a months rent for a medium house in Managua) you would expect everything to be working from the start, specially if you made reservations from more than a week in advance and you have a check in time of 3pm. Overall the house felt a bit neglected perhaps because it is for sale. We stayed in a different unit before (Owner Shiva) and had none of these issues.
I recommend asking the owner (Jim) for a full tour once you arrive to make sure that everything is in working condition.
With regards to the lightbulbs - 2 lamps in the home had faulty lightbulbs and was immediately changed the next morning when brought to our attention - I do not know why he is saying the 'most of the rooms' - just not true.
This front lock was never broken - we opened the door with the key upon his arrival - the tenant just needed to be shown how to use the key.
As you can see from all my other reviews, we take pride in our home - we want everyone to enjoy our little stretch of paradise!

The condo is very well-equipped and extremely attractive, with lovely furniture, comfortable beds and great bathroom and kitchen. I take tour groups around Nicaragua in search of wildlife and this place is a fabulous base for us. We can visit remote areas not far from Playa Coco and then enjoy the AC, pool, fabulous beach (usually deserted) when we come back. The owner responds very promptly to any questions or concerns and the whole place is well cared for and safe. It is great!

The road from San Juan to get to Playa Coco is mostly unpaved (we had to fix two flat tires) but the condos are nicely furnished and are well equipped.
We took walks on the beach every evening and enjoyed the most beautiful sunsets. Beach is very private but theres a restaurant and surf shop within walking distance on the beach.
Get your groceries beforehand and all you need so you dont have to leave for the length of your stay and relax by the pool and swim in the ocean.
This was a great choice for our family of eight.

I was told this was the place to go if I wanted sun and surf as well as rest and relaxation....it was all that and more.
The beach and complex are beautiful and pristine. It is also quiet. Far enough from city to avoid hustle and bustle but close enough for a day trip or dinner.

First Jim Jersey easy an guy to get along with and was very accommodating. We were able to book the property easily and he met us at the gate. Townhouse pics from site were true and place was very nice, clean and decorated nicely. We had five adults and two children with a single bed to spare. Good pool and you could walk right out to the beach. Beautiful beach with a good restaurant and pool in walking distance on the beach, had WIFI on the beach!. Was very relaxing environment, to bad we did not have time to check out the other activities. Be sure to hit the grocery store on your way in, we forgot and Jim helped out. Good to have four wheel drive or AWD vehicle driving in. I would go back again and thanks for the help Jim!
