We choose Lazy Jake's to be close to the surf beach Playa Maderas and in fact found ourselves enjoying the other hidden beach Marsella. There wasn't much for waves during our stay so we went on a beach horseback tour which picked us up right at the door and the frisbee golf was a surprise! We tried 3 restaurants near... More

My girlfriend and I *loved* this place. We stayed at a few other locations, and this place was by far the best. The rooms were comfy and well kept, and the guesthouses are in the perfect spot---right between a rustic/secluded/romantic beach (great for sunsets) and a busier/younger/surfing beach (with perfect waves). But even though I was 100% satisfied with the... More

Lazy Jake's is a beautiful home in a perfect location. A quick five minute walk to deserted Marsella beach (where we never saw more than 5 or 6 other people max) for swimming, tanning and beautiful sunsets, and a 15-minute stroll to Maderas beach for surfing, fish tacos and people watching. The accommodations were super clean, ultra comfortable and provided... More

Lazy Jake's Guesthouse was a wonderful place to stay. The guesthouse was clean, colorful and even beautifully decorated! It felt small and intimate like our own little house. We are grateful to Lisa and Jake for taking such good care of us. Lisa and Jake were amazing hosts and made us feel at home. They asked us what we wanted... More

This place was quite unlike anywhere else we stayed in Nica. It's obviously built to different standards (the owners are Canadian) and was incredibly comfortable. Very very clean, no bugs, good plumbing. It's walking distance to Playa Maderas, where we spent most of our time. There aren't a lot of amenities nearby, but Lisa and Jake make up for that... More

After three weeks spent in Nicargua, Lazy Jakes remained my favourite accommodations! Super clean, beautiful place. Jake and Lisa were very cool hosts (Rhonda too)! Very warm, laid back and willing to help out in any way they can to make the most of your time there. The meals were fantastic and were a great option to have depending on... More

Had a great stay just after New Years. Madera's surf beach is awesome and just a short walk down the road. Lisa and Jake are amazing hosts, making everything feel like a home away from home and introducing you to all the great food, people and fun in the area. Just a small bonus you can expect a fantastic treat... More

We stayed at Jake's and Lisa's guesthouse between Christmas and New Years and had an absolute blast. They were really warm and welcoming and gave us tons of tips. They arranged surfing lessons at Playa Maderas (right on the other side of the hill) and dropped us of there. We also joined them to go frisbee golving and bbq-en with... More

Jake and Lisa are great hosts. They will help you with anything you would like to do or see in SJDS. Perfect spot if you like to surf. Maderas beach is a 8min walk with good food and a great surf break. Rooms are super comfortable and higher standard then you will find almost anywhere else. The upper balcony is... More
