Photos and Description of the San Juan del Sur vacation villa rental
Luxurious 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home overlooking Pacific!

Casa Francesca is a stunning newly built villa located in the progressive, boutique community of Balcones de Majagual. Designed and built by the same architect who designed Morgans Rock Eco-Lodge (Matthew Faulkner) Casa Francesca is a stunning home mixing both modern luxuries and natural, sustainable organic elements.

Located 12km north of the lovely village of San Juan del Sur Nicaragua, this private villa boasts unparalleled views of the Pacific Ocean from every part of the home. The incredible 15meter infinity pool overlooks the ocean and is the perfect spot to watch one of Nicaragua's incredible sunsets. It is also the perfect spot to watch humpback whales breaching in the ocean as they arrive in the warm waters off the coast of Nicaragua to nurse their young.

Casa Francesca also benefits from its location in one of Central Americas largest private wildlife corridors. Expect daily visits from the local friendly monkey troop, along with sightings of parakeets, and sloths.

House Description: High ceilings, cool white washed stucco walls, and stone floors give Casa Francesa a large, open airy feel. The large screened windows allow for the almost constant breeze that the home benefits from to flow unobstructed through the home, keeping the temperature comfortable both day and night. Gorgeous wooden furniture, stone and rock elements, incredible paintings and blue decor are the final touches in this unique villa, lending to it a soft and natural feel.

This three bedroom 2 1/4 bathroom home is able to sleep five to six people comfortably. The two large bedrooms in the main part of the home each contain full ensuite bathrooms, comfortable king sized beds and ocean views. The third bedroom is located in the designated office space (located right at the pool, you can step right out of the office and plunge into the water) and contains a large, comfortable futon that can easily be converted to sleep one to two people.

Cook like a chef in Paradise: The living, dining, and kitchen space all have spectacular ocean views, and are surrounded by large Japanese style sliding doors that you can open for uninterrupted ocean. They are also all located within steps of the 15meters, stunning blue, infinity pool so you can take a refreshing dip whenever you so choose! Modern conveniences such as a Smeg gas range, stainless steel appliances, and a fully stocked kitchen make cooking that fresh seafood you bought from the local fisherman on the beach a breeze. Enjoy your meal inside at the large stone counter top/breakfast bar, or outside in the shaded patio at the large dining space. The airy, comfortable living space seats 6 plus people comfortable and is a great space to enjoy music and play any of the games provided in the evening after the sunsets.

Surrounding Area, Vehicles and Conceirge : CasaFrancesca is located either a short 15 minute walk or short 5 minute drive down the private road to some of the finest beaches in southern Nicaragua, Playa Maderas, Playa Majagual and Playones. There are surf board rentals, and a small selection of cafes to make your day at the beach both comfortable and enjoyable.

An English and Spanish speaking “meet and greet” is included in the cost of rental. This home also enjoys the benefits of secure private parking and 24 hour security in a locked, gated community. Maid and pool service is included, laundry service on request.

A 4 x 4 high clearance vehicle is essential for reaching Casa Frances, particularly in rainy season. It will also make your drives on the local country roads more enjoyable. Please ask us to put you in touch with one of our contacts in town regarding car rental where we can help you with a discounted rate.

Beautiful Time at Casa Francesca - Well Worth It

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Aug 26, 2012
  • Stayed: Aug 2012
My wife and I (we're young professionals) just spent 6 nights/7 days at Casa Francesca and had just a wonderful time. The pictures are spot on to just how nice the house is, don't even worry about that. The sunsets are beautiful, the pool is a pleasure, having a gas stove and gas grill outside was great (we cooked up some serious seafood that we purchased in town) and the staff around the property was amazing. Having security made us feel very well protected at all times and they were super helpful if anything went awry during our stay, the maid service was also incredible. In fact we liked them so much we made them a big lobster dinner one night and left the maids plenty of groceries to take home to their families. The person meeting us in town to bring us to the house was also a pleasure and made sure we were not only setup from a food/water standpoint, but also as prepared as possible for the next few days of our trip and made sure we made the sunset that night after our drive from Granada.

Both bedrooms are beautiful with equally great views of the mountains and the ocean. The road up to the house is an adventure, but by the second day you'll be a pro at getting up there, as the description says just make sure to bring a 4x4 (which you're going to need anywhere in Nicaragua not just going to the house). It's in an easy location to town, beaches (one semi-private beach is a 10min walk or 5 minute drive) etc and the view totally makes the extra time driving to the house worthwhile rather than staying in some shack hotel in town.

When we come back to Nicaragua we'll definitely be staying at Casa Francesca again, don't think twice, just book the house and enjoy your time there it's a pleasure.

Owner's Response: Thanks for your very kind review. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Casa Francesca and that the Balcones team and our meet and greet looked after you so well. They work very hard and I really appreciate their efforts.

Casa Francesca; Phenomenal!

  • Submitted: Jul 3, 2012
  • Stayed: Jun 2012
Let me start this review to all those people concerned about safety, crime, etc. in Nicaragua. My Wife did not bring any jewelry with her because of what we read. Howeveer, she bought with her one very nice ring. On about day 3 we dropped some laundry off in the morning at the guard shack. When we returned in the pitch dark, we entered the gate and the guard came runnig after our car. In broken english he said our laundry was done and up in our house. He then handed me my wife's ring which someone found in the washing machine when they were doing our laundry! Would that ring have been returned had this been an american or european hotel??? The house is beautiful! The view priceless; mountains; beach; sunset. It has 2 master bedrooms; 2 full baths and a seperate house off the pool with an office/bedroom/half bath. Nicely detailed with all the basic amenities. Many pluses and only a couple of minues; Pluses House - beautiful and safe; we never locked the sliding door (key would not work so we could not); we had 2 laptops/extra money; etc. They had guards stationed at the gate and near our house; we always felt safe. The people are honest to a fault. Pool - tiled infinity pool; cleaned every day. location - a plus for us; maybe a minus for others. It is about 8 miles from downtown Sjds. Close enough to everything but tucked away near a great beach and in the mountains. Concierge service provided by Gaby/Remax in Sjds - absolutely Phenominal lady! Set us up for Suf lessons, guided tours; restaurant reviews; helped us with our car rental (Hertz stinks!; did not have a 4 wheel drive car for us at the airport). I literally cannnot say enough about the service she provided us. In addition, she is one of the nicest people we have ever met. Minuses Wifi at the house down all week due to a bad storm the day we arrived. Main screen door off kitchen lock was not working all week. You had to supply the basics; Paper towels; toilet tissue, etc. No a/C but the nights were cool enough to sleep well. Great place; great area. Rent this place!

This is a magical place. The house is perfect & a joy to just be in. Many days were spent lounging in the pool or sitting on the deck, watching to Pacific eat the last of the day's light. The concierge service is impecable & the warmth of this sea side community will inspire more trips to this wonderland part of the world.

Beautiful home, lush setting

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Nov 30, 2011

My friends and I (young professionals in our 20s and 30s) just got back from Casa Francesca. Our stay was lovely. The pool was beautiful and the surroundings, complete with a view of the beach, were idyllic.

You will see monkeys every day. You will also hear them every morning! No need for an alarm clock. The call of the monkeys and the early sunrise get you up and ready for exploring the beaches.

Gabby was wonderful to work with. She arranged for a driver from the airport, an ATV ride, a scuba dive, and even massages by the pool. Everything was very easy.

Some things to consider. You definitely need a 4X4. We rented one from Managua, which is cheaper than getting one in SJDS. The house is a good 25 minute drive from the town, which really isn't that big of a deal since the beach in town is not as good as the one right by the house, which you can walk to.

We ended up eating lunch while were out exploring Nicargua, but we self-catered most breakfasts and some of the dinners. There are two grills (one gas, one charcoal) and you can get decent groceries at the Pali in town. The house also has a wifi, TV, and DVD player. We didn't use the TV/DVD player much, but we did find the iPod dock super useful for playing some music while we hung out on the hammock or deck chairs.

Finally, I would definitely recommend making the trek to the Laguna de Apoyo. It was a little difficult to find (the road is unmarked) but it was a highlight of the trip. It's about a two hour drive or so away from the house. We also day tripped to Granada and Ometepe. In retrospect, I would have skipped Granada altogether for more time enjoying the natural beauty of Nicaragua.

Also, the managers / guards at Balcones were great. They helped us when the WiFi went out and made sure we had fresh bottles of water.

I'd highly recommend renting Casa Francesca. We had a great trip!
Owner's Response: Hi,
I'm Micky, owner of Casa Francesca. Thank you so much for your review. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay at my house as much as I do.

You're always welcome.

We had a family get together at Casa Francesca and enjoyed a very nice time both indoors and outdoors. The house is new, well designed, the pool is fanastic and the view of the jungle is really magnificent.
