Are you looking for a comfortable vacation home that has a luxurious, exotic feel? Do you enjoy watching the surf, being awestruck by colourful sunsets and gazing at billions of stars? Then welcome to Casa Colina.

Located only a short 5 minute walk to shops, restaurants and bars, our home features an open air living environment with a floorplan that flows onto the front veranda through 4 gorgeous custom built wooden glass doors that do not obstruct the views of San Juan del Sur Bay, the quaint town and surrounding jungle. Casa Colina was designed and built to North American earthquake standards by renowned architect Chris Robertson (Pier 39 San Francisco and Finca Las Nubes) on a ridge in the gated, boutique community of Paradise Bay. Our property features a large stone terrace that is an excellent space for yoga. Our guests can enjoy daily visits from exotic birds like white throated magpie jays, motmots, kiskadees, baltimore orioles, doves, hummingbirds and the occasional appearance of wild budgies. It's not uncommon to see Howler Monkeys in the trees surrounding the pool.

Casa Colina is more than a rental home, it is also our second home as we do spend several months a year enjoying the sights, sounds and our friends of San Juan del Sur. As a result, we take great pride in maintaining our home to the highest standards. Our guests comment that it does feel and look like a home, not a hostel or cold rental space like many other casas in the area. We would be delighted to share our incredible home away from home with you in our absence.

Our home is quite private, and while the 4 m x 8 m (12 ft x 24 ft) infinity pool, arguably one of the best in San Juan del Sur, is considered shared, it is only shared with the adjacent twin house and rarely would you find yourself sharing it with others. Because of the terracing, and the other house being below ours, anyone staying there cannot see into any of our spaces and vice versa. The pool is located behind the other house, but adjacent to ours. Anyone staying in the other house cannot see the pool, but there is a great view of the pool from our master bedroom and front veranda.

The bathroom in the master bedroom is only accessible through the bedroom, making it a very private space. The main bathroom is ensuite to the second bedroom but also accessible from the main living area through a separate doorway. Both bedrooms have air conditioning and ceiling fans while the loft bedroom has two wall fans directed at the sleeping area. Due to the constant gentle breeze, air conditioning in the main part of the house is not necessary.

Keywords: 2 bedrooms with king size beds, private loft with two twin beds, 3 twin sofa beds, oceanview, infinity pool overlooks ocean & town, covered veranda with rocking chairs and hammocks, separate large terrace and gas bbq.

Amazing Stay and Meals!
My family of 5 including 3 children stayed at the house in February for 5 nights. The view of the house and pool was amazing, and the house was extremely clean and well furnished. The entire family loved sitting in the porch hammocks and admiring the view and breeze, day and night. The highlight of the stay was our property manager and cook Katalina who has overseen the house since it was built. She made two incredible meals of fish, chicken, and shrimp with fresh vegetables and potatoes that my wife and kids all enjoyed. She even made homemade french fries for the kids. Katalina assisted us with laundry, cleaning, and even helped us with our return transport. An amazing, friendly lady who provided a home stay unlike any other that we've ever done. The hillside view comes with a steep walk from downtown SJDS, but taxis are readily available and very affordable.

Amazing stay in San Juan Del Sur!
Amazing stay in town. Perfect location for walking into town (steep hill coming back though). Katalina was awesome and I highly recommend having her cook for you as the food was amazing and plenty of leftovers.

Beautiful home in great area!
My group and I love love loved staying here. The house is so beautiful. The deck with all the rocking chairs was our go to spot in the evening to chill and watch the lightning. The nook up the ladder was so perfect for rainy movie nights. The grounds were perfectly kept and the pool was the absolute best. It overlooks the bay of San Juan. Best pool views hands down! Katalina is the Nica mom everyone wants and needs. She kept the house clean and cooked up some amazing dinners for us. Highly recommend booking her cooking services while you’re here! We would most certainly stay here again.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
From California originally, but spent much traveling in the Tropics. Found Nicaragua almost six years ago and almost immediately was hooked. The people, the beaches, the culture, the scenery, and overall vibe is what attracted me most.

Why they chose this property

The view is what really sold me. Being able to gaze out over the picturesque town of San Juan, and see the waves is exactly what I was looking for,.

What makes this property unique

Casa Colina is truly a 5 minute walk to shops and restaurants and only another 3 minutes to the beach. The views of the valley, mountains, town, bay and ocean are spectacular. We can literally sit for hours at the pool or on the verandah and stare off with only the birds to interrupt the scenery and night lights. The peace and tranquility of this area is at the south end of San Juan del Sur and really doesn't require a car as do the other surrounding developments. And if we're feeling lazy, a quick inexpensive taxi ride gets us to where we need to be. There are plenty of inexpensive taxis and shuttles to get you to nearby surfing beaches as well as tour companies that can do longer day trips to outlying areas. The beach in SJDS is great for playing in the small surf or laying about, with plenty of bars and restaurants to serve you. The marina there offers fresh seafood for sale, fishing trips and fun sailing excursions to nearby beaches.
