About this property

Enjoy the silence and natural beauty of the forest, a short walk to the beach and the convenience of living just a short 15 minute drive outside of San Juan del Sur!

La Perla, formerly known as Mar de la Vida, located in the gated community of Bosques del Mar, is a perfect spot for a romantic getaway, or an escape from the stress of everyday life. Our stunning 1 bedroom fully furnished casita includes high vaulted ceilings, A/C, hot water on demand, 32" smart tv (no cable), stackable washer/dryer, backup propane/gas generator, backup water system, wifi, outdoor shower, barbeque grill, a brand new 6 burner gas stove, microwave, and once a week maid service. Our screened in porch will allow many evenings of bug free enjoyment and during the day relax in the hammocks reading a good book in the pergola. Walking distance to Playa Marsella, great for swimming and the popular surfing beach, Playa Maderas is only a quick shuttle ride away! Wake to the sound of the howler monkeys and enjoy your morning coffee on the wrap around covered deck surrounded by nature! Its your vacation, barbeque at home or visit the local restaurants within walking distance, and afterwards stroll down to the beach and watch the amazing sunset!

If this is your first trip to the San Juan del Sur area, please note that it is ultra casual, so ladies leave your high heels, fancy clothes and jewelry at home. Instead bring your sunscreen, comfy shoes, sun hats and sun dresses.

There are so many things to do other than beach activities. Head into the town and explore as it’s full of colour, culture and warm, friendly people. Try your hand at zip-lining, take in the amazing views from the Jesus statue, watch baby turtles being released to the ocean, take day trips to the colonial city of Granada, and the Volcan Masaya or visit Laguna de Apoya, a lake that formed in the centre of an extinct volcano.

Looking for a unique experience, hop the local “chicken bus” and venture into the market place in Rivas, or spend a few hours at the National Artisan Market in Masaya shopping for that special souvenir; a hammock, painting, pottery, or an exotic wood carving to take back home.

If you’re considering a destination a little more off the beaten path, then I would highly recommend Nicaragua. It’s very similar to Costa Rica 20 years ago.

Come and visit soon, make everlasting memories and you will not want to leave this beautiful corner of Nicaragua!

Beautiful casita near Playa Marcella

We stayed here for four nights to kick off a month in Nicaragua. This was the nicest place of our stay so far (three weeks in). The casita is lovely and very well appointed. There are plenty of dishes and everything you would need if you decide to cook. A very easy walk to Playa Marcella if you prefer to eat out. It is possible to walk to Playa Maderas but if you have any mobility issues you would likely want to hire a car or rent a motorcycle.

Coffee with the monkeys

Is a lovely house. Comfortable. All that you need. We loved the surroundings, quiet, nearness to the beach. We found a small grocery store within walking distance. A few restaurants. Friendly locals and expats. Owner and Manager were always available with any assistance. I would certainly stay there again.

Amazing time at Mar de La Vida

I spent almost three months with my family in Mar de La Vida. I was here with my wife and three year old son. We are from Poland. It was an amazing time. The house we stayed in exceeded our expectations. The cottage is situated in a wonderful area not far from San Juan del Sur. It is about 10 minutes from the estate where we lived. San Juan del Sur has a large market and plenty of restaurants. But you didn't have to go to town to eat well. Within 1 km from the house there are several restaurants where you can eat really good food that is not expensive. It takes about 5 minutes to get to the beach by the ocean from the house. The view is amazing. The house itself is well equipped. There is literally everything. Even a large grill. There is a washing machine and a clothes dryer in the house. On the terrace there is a hammock and comfortable rocking chairs. We were constantly in touch with the owner of the facility and the property manager. It made us feel very well served. I heartily recommend this house. We will remember you very well.

Magical

I stayed here with my two children, 12 and 13. We had the best time. The neighborhood the house is in has a private rancho on Marsella beach which is lovely. They even have power outlets! The house itself is very well designed and well stocked. We did wish for a thing. The things we loved best about our stay was the wildlife at our door. The neighborhood is in the middle of an estuary so bird watching from the porch is a joy. And we were visited my monkeys most morning which was the hope. I looking forward to booking this again for our next trip!
