Description:

Villas Iguana A-8 is located in the heart of the wave-rich Tola region. This 2 bedroom 2 bath condo unit is located at the north end of Playa Colorado with a river and Los Perros point to the north and two quality waves a short walk to the south (Panga Drops and Colorado beach break). The condo is located on the 2nd floor with a balcony overlooking the ocean. It is equipped with a king bed in the master bedroom and two single beds in the guest bedroom. The condo is also equipped with AC in the bedrooms and living area, Apple TV, Wi-Fi a safe for your valuables and a back up battery system that supplies power to the unit in the event of a power outage. Cleaning service (three days per week) is included in the rental and we offer an optional meal plan service!

Please note that the housekeeping staff will do any laundry you may have as they are the only ones with access to the washer and dryer in the house. This service is included with your stay.

There is a shared pool overlooking the ocean!

Activities:

This home is located within the Hacienda Iguana development, which is known for its world-class surf breaks. There are 4 surf breaks within walking distance- Playa Colorado, Panga Drops and Los Perros are in the neighborhood and Playa Amarillo is to the south of Playa Colorado (walkable at low tide). We also have a beautiful 9-hole golf course. The course is well designed, beautifully maintained and very affordable to guests.

We would be pleased to arrange airport transfers or a variety of other tours, activities and excursions for you before or during your stay:

- Private and group yoga classes

- Surf lessons and guided surf trips

- Boat and fishing charters

- Massage and spa treatments

- Hot springs

- Horseback riding

- Local community tours


Food supplies:

The best place to get groceries is La Colonia in Rivas, 100m south of the turn off for Tola on the right (west) side of the street. (While in Rivas, you should also top off your fuel because these are the closest gas stations to where you are staying). We HIGHLY recommend stocking up on all or as many of the groceries you will need for your entire stay OR if you don’t want to deal with planning, shopping, and preparing meals ask us about booking the meal plan, our full service catering option.

Eating out:

There are several great food options within the Hacienda Iguana development. The most visited and only beachfront option is Pili's Kitchen, located at the Beach Club in front of the Colorado Break. It offers a variety of fresh foods, juices, smoothies and full bar. In La Joya next to the Eco Casitas is The Salty Koala, serving up amazing Asian cuisine and craft cocktails. In the commercial zone of the development (where NSR is located) you will find the rest of the culinary options. Above our office is the legendary Casa Ananas, which offers authentic Italian cuisine, pizza and daily international special nights. Next to our office/surf shop you'll find Downtown Iguana, which offers seafood and authentic Nicaraguan cuisine at a fair price. Across the street you'll find Scoops and Spokes, which serves up some amazing homemade ice cream, good coffee, baked goods, paninis and fresh juices. A few doors down is the Iguana Brewery, offering sports bar fare and local craft beer.

Other spots and restaurants in the general area (but outside the Hacienda Iguana development) that are worth checking out are: Gigante (El Pozo, Juntos and Giant’s Foot Surf Camp for Burger Night every Monday), Rancho Santana (The Club House, La Boquita tapas restaurant and La Taquería -ask us how to get to la Taquería walking from Iguana) Limón 1 (Avila’s taquería), Limón 2 (La Calabria brick oven pizza), Jiquelite-Playa Santana (Malibu Popoyo, Buena Onda, Costa Oeste, Aloha Bungalows) Popoyo (Mag Rock, Café con Leche), Las Salinas (Todo con Amor restaurant) Guasacate (Finca Wayuu, Dutchy's Deli, Viento Este) and many more!

Shopping:

We have a well merchandised store (NSR Surf Shop) located inside the Hacienda Iguana development, which offers souvenirs, surf accessories, clothing, beach towels, flip flops, sunscreen, sunglasses, swimsuits, wet suit vests and tops, rash guards and more! We also rent scooters, dirt bikes, surfboards, boogie boards and SUPs out of this location as well.

Other businesses in the Hacienda Iguana community include Pure Spa, 2 small convenience stores with a variety of grocery items, and an ATM is located on the property. Other activities in the development include yoga, horseback riding and in-home massage.

The Riviera commercial plaza is located within a half mile of the Hacienda Iguana entrance. Businesses in this shopping center include BAC bank with ATM machine, a small grocery store (with the basics) and Bagels and Bakes, a cafe with daily home-baked goods and coffee.

Getting Around:

This property is located a 2-2.5 hours drive from the Augusto C. Sandino International Airport in Managua, and approximately 4 hours from the Liberia airport in Costa Rica. Most of the major vehicle rental agencies have locations at the Managua airport (we recommend you make a reservation in advance).
If renting a vehicle, we feel its only necessary to have a 4wd if planning to travel to some of the beaches further south (in the San Juan del Sur area). If one prefers not to rent a vehicle, we can arrange airport transportation and daily sightseeing/surf trips. We have motorcycle and scooter rentals available and we can also arrange vehicle and boat transport to other surf breaks in the area. There is also the option of renting a vehicle from Alamo and National, which has an office next to Hacienda Iguana.

Beautiful Beach Front Condo
My family and I had a great time staying at this beach front condo in Villa Iguana Resort. This is our 3rd visit to Iguana and we love it more and more each time we visit. The listing description of the condo was accurate and the amenities were awesome. The condo was clean and well stocked with a fresh water tank for drinking and all the necessary appliances and utensils in the kitchen. We swam everyday in the pool and in the ocean. The beach was clean, private, and very secluded. We were able to rent surf boards easily and had several restaurants to choose from near by. Thank you Cyndee and Rob for helping us make the arrangements and for the process to be such a breeze. Looking forward to our next visit already.

amazing view
We spent a wonderful week at this place. It was equipped with everthing you need to feel like home. Very comfortable and nicely decorated. The view from our deck was breathtaking. We like being on 2nd floor for the breeze, views, privacy and security. The beach provides good hard sand for walking and the surf for boogie boarding and surfing. We used the golf course a couple of times. It was well designed 9 hole. We enjoyed it. The rates are for 18 holes, cart,and good rental clubs (Calloway). We did do a fair amount of cooking. Manuel came by and sold us fresh red snapper. He will come every day if f u want. We rented a golf cart to get around. Next time we will rent a car so we can explore the area outside of iguana more. However, I don't th hi nk we would not have left this beau tiful place too much. It's hard to be off the beach.

Love the condo!
My wife, 2-year old daughter and I stayed at this property for 2 weeks. We were eager to stay in Hacienda Iguana and this property was beautiful! Everything in the listing was accurate and as promised, we surely enjoyed the ocean views!!! Long amazing beach right our front. I played the golf courses often and my wife and daughter enjoyed the pool right our front. I'd recommend this property to anyone that is considering a vacation in Nicaragua. We hope to stay again!!

Great Condo
If you surf or if you just want to be right next to an awesome beach, I would strongly recommend this place. We actually had to catch our breath when we first walked in because the view over the Pacific is so spectacular. This is the closest I've ever stayed to the ocean. You are right there! You can watch the surf while lying in the master bed! Like the other reviews indicate, the décor fits right in with the natural beauty of the beach. It is a short walk to excellent surf and the restaurant at Playa Colorados is fantastic with really healthy and delicious food (not to mention the fact that you can watch guys getting barreled while eating). The hiking options around the condo are awesome. My fiancée who doesn't surf loved it too. A guy walks around every day selling fresh lobster, snapper, etc. and you can bbq it up by the pool if you feel like cooking. Highly recommend the condo.

Beautifully decorated and perfect location!
We loved this condo! The location couldn't be better, since we were directly facing the ocean. I couldn't get enough of those crystal clear blue waves and white sand. I've stayed in other beach condos that were very bland looking. This one is anything but bland. It is well decorated with sea themed decorations. The colors were bright and cheerful. I plan on booking this condo again on my next surf trip.

Amazing place to spend a vacation!
Really nice condo with all the amenities! We really have no complaints about this condo at all except had to go home when the vacation was over. The place was very clean and stocked with everything needed to cook great meals. If you don't feel like cooking there are a few great restaurants at Iguanas with really delicious, fresh food. The condo also has a gorgeous balcony overlooking the ocean which is great for relaxing and enjoying the sunset. Everything in the condo was up to date including a/c which we actually rarely used because being on the second floor allowed for a great breeze to keep things comfortable. Whether you're taking the family down to Nica to do some exploring or getting some friends together to surf and just relax you can't go wrong!
