Staying in a rental villa in San Juan del Sur

A rental house with a kitchen and a pool is a very different holiday from a hotel room, and it comes with a small pile of logistics on day one that nobody mentions in the listing.

Delivery from C$184 in town and C$276 to the outer beaches. Every fee is agreed before we set off.

Household and kitchen essentials laid out on a table

What day one actually involves

  • The fridge is usually empty. If you land in the evening, the useful question is not where to shop but who will bring it.
  • Drinking water comes from a large refillable bottle, not the tap. Check whether the house has one and whether it is full.
  • Cooking gas is a canister, not a mains supply. It runs out with no warning and always mid-meal.
  • Ice is not something a domestic freezer produces at the rate a group of eight goes through it.

The hill problem

  • The nicest houses are up the hill or out at the beaches, which is why they have the view.
  • That same view means the supermarket is a drive, not a walk, and carrying a week of shopping back up is nobody's idea of a holiday.
  • Delivery to the outer beaches costs C$276 with a C$250 minimum; anywhere in town or on the hillside is C$184 with no minimum.

Getting it sorted before you arrive

  • Send us a list and the address ahead of time and we will shop it and stock the house so you walk into a full fridge.
  • Tell us the arrival day and roughly when. Nothing perishable sits around waiting for you.
  • One order covering food, water, ice and household basics costs one delivery fee, not four.
  • Property managers and hosts can set this up as a standing arrangement per house rather than per guest.
