Nicaragua Oceanfront Villa with Spectacular Pacific Coastal Views

My husband and I enjoyed a weeks stay at this house. The view when entering the front door is breathtaking. The drive from Managua was interesting. We stopped enroute to get groceries.

The house is very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equiped. The house is a great place for lounging and watching the sea and bird. We had waves crashing underneath our clff. We were within walking distance of the restaurant and bar. There are other small places to eat within a fairly short drive. The food was excellent and very inexpensive.

The developement is gated and well maintained. We felt very safe at the house.The maid cooked us some great breakfasts. Most nights we chose to stay here and cook for ourselves so we could enjoy the long and amazing sunsets views. We did deepsea fishing with some local fishermen. The people were very helpful to us. We spoke only a little Spanish. The staff does know some English and one could manage with a translation book and a bit of Spanish knowledge.

The design of the house is wonderful. It is very oriented to the outdoors but there are airconditioned bedrooms and living room so we were very comfortable. The bedrooms had lots of storage. The furniture was made to go with the house. There is a hammock and a negative edge pool. The pool was very refreshing midday after an outing. There is abundant shade and often a very nice breeze due to the design and location of the house.

We did go on an overnight trip via ferry to Ometepe Island and that was very interesting side trip. We stayed at a lodge called La Omaja. The hike to the falls was beautiful and challenging.

the owners were very helpful in answering our questions. The photos and description are accurate. It is handicap accessible which is a big plus.

This is a wonderful place to recharge yourself. We would definitly rent this house again. We would make a special trip to Nicaragua to stay here.

This is one of the most well kept,modern, and nicest places I've been able rent. I've rented homes in Alaska,California,Wisc,Minnesota,Florida,New Mexico,Colorado,Utah, Washington,NewYork, thru out Mexico,Canada,France, Italy and England and definitely feel this was the most architecturally unique and well thought out designs I've stayed in. The place was immaculate and the daily maid and gardening service provided a hotel stay feel. The layout is excellent for three couples or comfortable for up to 8-10 people depending on how cozy you want to get. We surfed/boogey-boarded daily on pristine beaches-sometimes w/ no one around for hours. We were able to rent entire boats(w/ captains) for fishing and exploring for a whole day for less than what it typically costs for a single person to go out for a half day in California,Florida or Mexico. Most of the shoreline appears to be National Geographic material w/ areas that I wonder if ever have been stepped on by a human. We never had a bad meal out of the six days we were there w/ most of the restaurants being self-proprietary. Wonderful breakfasts are 3-6 dollars and dinners are 5-20 dollars per person including wine and/or rum and tip. The property(Rancho Santa) it self had the feeling of being in Scottsdale,AZ w/ its beautiful clubhouse,pool and yoga center. The food costs at the clubhouse were slightly higher,however, still a fantastic value. If you're looking for an adventure type vacation or a get away for peace and tranquility I would put this place at the top of my list. My highest accolades to the owners for designing and providing such an outstanding home. There are 3 bathrooms(not one).
