Exclusive Two Story Ocean View Home/private Pool ++privacy - Families Welcome!

Looking for privacy, romance, or a family getaway? Look no further! Casa Luna is the epitome of comfortable, open-air living, nestled just 12km away from the charming town of San Juan del Sur. Get ready to experience the perfect blend of adventure and comfort in this eco-conscious haven.

Perched on a ridge overlooking the majestic Pacific Ocean, Casa Luna treats you to breathtaking water and jungle views. Imagine waking up to the playful chatter of friendly howler monkeys right outside your window or catching a glimpse of humpback whales breaching in the warm waters of the Nicaraguan Pacific during the winter months. And that's not all – as the villa is nestled in one of Central America’s largest private wildlife corridors, you can expect delightful encounters with sloths, parakeets, iguanas, margays, and hummingbirds throughout your stay.

Casa Luna boasts four inviting bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, providing ample space for your family or group of friends. The high ceilings and cool tiled floors ensure a refreshing ambiance, and the state-of-the-art screen system allows a constant flow of fresh air to keep you comfortable. The upstairs master bedrooms come with beautiful stone en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and hot water. The lower level bedrooms also have air conditioning and share a spacious, tiled hot water bathroom. For eco-conscious travelers, you'll be pleased to know that all the hot water is solar-heated with our sustainable solar hot water system.

Each bedroom is thoughtfully appointed with fine linens, plush pillows, and cozy beds, ensuring a good night's sleep after your exciting adventures. The fourth bedroom, located in the separate casita, offers a unique experience without air conditioning, perfect for those seeking a more natural setting.

Step into the villa's ultra-modern kitchen, where unique woodwork sourced from hurricane-felled trees and sustainable timber exudes both elegance and environmental responsibility. Stone accents and beautiful decor create a serene and peaceful atmosphere – the perfect setting for relaxation, honeymoons, or unwinding after a thrilling day of surfing.

Casa Luna is fully equipped to cater to your modern needs with Wi-Fi available throughout the property, flat-screen TVs, and comfortable furniture crafted by local artisans. The living room's sliding walls open up to a large patio with stunning ocean and jungle views, blurring the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. And for those who need to work while away, a comfortable workspace with a double desk on the main level ensures a stress-free remote working experience. With our brand new battery-backup system, you can work uninterrupted even during Nicaragua's occasional power outages.

Calling all foodies! The owners take pride in stocking the kitchen with everything you need to prepare gourmet meals, from a gas range to pots, pans, hand mixers, large bowls, and cutlery for eight people. Coffee enthusiasts will rejoice with a coffee maker, french press, stove-top espresso maker, and coffee grinder, allowing you to savor world-class Nicaraguan coffee just the way you like it. For the grilling aficionados, a traditional North American-style propane BBQ awaits your culinary creations.

Just outside the villa, a stunning 18-meter lap pool awaits, surrounded by lush jungle and ocean views. Relax in the spacious palapa/grass hut adjacent to the pool, where you can stay cool during hot afternoons, laze in a hammock, or witness unforgettable sunsets over the Pacific from the comfort of the cool, refreshing pool waters.

Casa Luna's strategic location puts you a short 15-minute walk or a quick 5-minute drive away from some of the most beautiful beaches in southern Nicaragua, such as Playa Maderas, Playa Majagual, and Playones. Whether you're an avid surfer or a beachcomber, these pristine sandy shores won't disappoint. Surfboard rentals and cozy cafes nearby ensure your beach days are comfortable and enjoyable.

An added perk of staying at Casa Luna is the inclusion of an English and Spanish-speaking "meet and greet" service to assist you during your stay. Our knowledgeable host can help you arrange a plethora of activities in the area, such as zip-lining, horseback riding, boat cruises, surf lessons, professional onsite massages, and Spanish lessons. Furthermore, you can enjoy secure private parking and 24-hour security in our gated community.


A four-wheel-drive vehicle is required for accessing not only Casa Luna but also the majority of the beaches north and south of San Juan del Sur. We are located 12km from town on country dirt roads, and having a 4WD vehicle will make your stay not only easier but also more enjoyable as you venture along these beautiful country roads. Don't worry; we can help you arrange a vehicle in town with one of our contacts at a discounted rate!

Rates quoted are for five guests, and additional guests will be charged automatically at a rate of $25US per person, per night. Whether you're seeking a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a relaxing retreat, Casa Luna offers it all.

Definitely not worth the price!
We wanted this to be THE place, but when we arrived, we walked into what felt like an oven. There were visible A/C units in the bedrooms, but we were told we could not use them because they were not hooked up for guests. A/C was not listed under amenities, which we had not noticed prior to booking the property. The week we visited was in the MID 90s. When we contacted Veronica, we were told the house was designed for cross ventilation and to keep the windows open. At night, the house was a little cooler but still in the mid 80s. Unfortunately, our group was unable to sleep the first night, so we decided we would book another house for the remainder of our trip. The host, told us it was our fault for not seeing A/C on the amenity list. It hadn’t occurred to me to ask based on the nightly rate and temperatures in Nicaragua. She informed me that I was gaslighting her and that we needed to take responsibility for our mistake, which meant no refund. When we woke up the next morning, we were shocked to find bat poop falling from the ceiling in the master bedroom. We were unable to get in touch with her, so we contacted VRBO. They asked for pictures and video, which we provided. After several hours, and getting settled into our new spot, we were finally granted a partial refund. But we did end up paying for the first night plus cleaning and fees. We do not recommend this property to anyone until the bat issue is resolved and the A/C is fully functional.

Beautiful home, beautiful view!
My partner and I stayed for 6 weeks with his 2 year old daughter and some friends who came to visit. It was an ideal paradise. The home is beautiful, well-maintained, spacious and fully stocked with everything you may need to cook. The staff is AMAZING, cleaning the large pool daily and housekeeping staying on top of everything. They were kind, friendly and always attentive. A few days after our arrival, the barbecue wasn’t working very well (it was quite old). Within hours, a new barbecue was wheeled onto the property. The security staff was also wonderful, always a smile and a wave when we left the compound. Veronica, who was our contact at the property, was also very kind, always there to answer any questions we may have had, and she facilitated our transport from the airport in a way that made us feel well taken care of and comfortable. We felt totally at home. The house itself is huge, and only minutes away from the beach and the most lovely little restaurant called Juanita’s kitchen. The only thing I would say is a car rental is a definite must; the house is quite secluded and the nearest grocery store is about a 25 minute drive. It is also very wild—expect a lot of howling monkeys, some raccoons and other wildlife roaming around! They didn’t ever bother us at all, but we were surprised at how much life there is around the property! If you want a restful, quiet secluded home for you and yours, with a beautiful ocean view, clear waters, soft sand and a pristine lap pool—this is the house for you! We couldn’t recommend it more and we hope we get a chance to visit again! Thank you!!!!!
