Best vacation ever
We rent this property from February 29 until March 3rd. This was the best vacation ever. I’m going to start with Mark the host, we reached out to him not once but few times and he responded in less than 3 minutes. Best communication I had ever experienced with any host . Wilmer is the guy that waited for us at the property was super attentive and always answer message and calls. Wow the property is something out of this world . We were breathless when we walked into to this house, the scenery of this beautiful house , the sunsets , the sunrises were something you cannot describe. All the guests asked us for the contact information. The house have everything that you will needed both in the kitchen and in the bathrooms. Plenty of table game, kayaks everything . We will definitely come back.

Comfortable retreat with excellent view
Mark and Brenda's place was fantastic and our whole family (group of 11) really enjoyed ourselves. The house is modern and well kept. The ACs in every room worked great and are a must as Laguna de Apoyo is pretty hot & humid. The hosts also made sure to provide plenty of drinking water, TP, and trash bags for the whole stay, something that might seem inconsequential but is really helpful. WiFi speeds were great, kids enjoyed having Netflix for downtime. We had plenty of towels provided which were very appreciated as the kids spent most of the day in the pool. Wilmer, the caretaker on-site was so friendly, helpful and not intrusive. He volunteered to buy fruits for us when we asked where to find a local fruit stand. A true gem. The high ratings for this place are definitely warranted and I would not hesitate to recommend this place to another group.

Amazing property.
This whole trip was a roller coaster of emotions. We rented the property to celebrate the wedding of my brother. Unfortunately we got sick with covid and we had to reschedule 2 times until everyone tested negative. The Branchett family was super understanding and accommodating, they were flexible with us and allowed this experience to happen. The only downside to this stay is the wifi and reception are very slow. But given the location I’m sure it’s out of their control. Anyhow, we appreciate their help and are absolutely happy with how our stay was.

Exceptional Vacation Home
This house is marvelous. We were a group of 17 (family reunion, ages 6 to 72) and everyone had a wonderful experience. Beautiful two story house with everything you need, from kitchen utensils to life vests. View is stunning and the Rancho is huge, direct private access to the lagoon and a wonderful private pool. I’m extremely satisfied with this rental. We never ran out of purified water(they kept supplying it without us asking) Highly recommend. The host makes you feel welcoming and the housekeeper shows up within 10 minutes when called. Great experience with this house. Definitely 5 stars!

Perfect Spot on Apoyo!
Our group was thoroughly pleased with our stay at La Laguna. From our first correspondence with the lovely owners to the moment we departed, we were overwhelmingly happy. The house is perfectly suited for a couple of families, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as two kitchens and lots of outdoor space and sitting areas. Thanks to the caretaker, Wilmer, and the owners, we had everything we needed right down to beach towels, extra jugs of water, and ice. The view is spectacular, the pool, yard, patios, and palapa were divine and we were thrilled to have outdoor play toys from kayaks and boogie boards to a trampoline and a soccer goal and balls. The kids were in heaven and the adults even got a chance to rest. Perfect spot for families with kids. We will be back!

Large, spacious and well-appointed house on the water in Laguna de Apoyo - great for groups!
We had a wonderful stay at Mark and Brenda's beautiful property in Laguna de Apoyo. Our visitors and our friends from Managua all had a great and relaxing time. Plenty of space for a large group to enjoy a nice day and evening at the house. We particularly liked the nice big palapa with couches and hammocks to relax on. My friends appreciated the small grassy fields for the kids to play. We spend most of our time enjoying the outdoor space and BBQ grill. And when the time came to sleep we all retreated to nicely decorated and comfortable rooms. Their caretaker Wilmur was wonderful as well. We are definitely looking forward to our next stay!

Beautiful scenery, the perfect family getaway
We absolutely loved the 4 nights we spent at Mark and Brenda’s gorgeous house on Laguna de Apoyo. We were a group of 3 families, with 8 kids ranging in age from 5-12 years. The lake was amazing for swimming and we enjoyed the boogie boards and kayaks. We did several outings, including the night visit to Volcan Masaya, Volcan Mombacho, the towns of Granada and Masaya. It was so convenient to use the 16 passenger van, and our driver, Jose-Maria was excellent and gave us lots of great information. Mark was in contact with us the entire time, and we felt very cared for. We highly recommend this beautiful spot!!

An amazing place for a vacation!!!
This was one of the best, if not the best, of my experiences with VRBO or AirBnB! The property was amazing and even better than depicted in the listing (hard to believe!). It has everything you could want for a great vacation from reliable internet, fresh water coolers, a fully equipped kitchen, and the floating raft and kayaks for fun in the water. Not sure if this happens year round but when we stayed there there was a nice breeze almost the entire day which kept the flying bugs to almost nothing. The breeze also meant that even with 85 degree weather each day we were always comfortable when sitting outside. When inside the mini-split air conditioners were great for a comfortable nights sleep. Maybe the best part was Mark and his amazing hospitality along with the help of Don Mario and Wilmer...with their help our vacation of 10 people couldn't have been any better! We used the large van that Mark had available for trips to the airport, expeditions, and just going to the grocery store and it made the vacation so much more enjoyable and relaxing. Mark was amazingly responsive when texting him and we couldn't have felt better taken care of. Lake Apoyo is super relaxing with warm water and no motorized boats allowed so there is no noise pollution...the only thing you will hear when sitting on the balcony is the exotic birds and the occasional monkey. A few people in our group went scuba diving in the crater and had a blast. I would 100% recommend staying at this property and know you won't regret it!
