Spectacular Ocean Cliff 5BR Home & Beach in Gated Community
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (37)
"The house was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 4 teenagers with beds to spare. Great view from the deck, and a very quiet neighborhood. El Gigante was a short drive and is the kind of non touristy village we were looking for. Loved it."

"We loved our stay so much here! Everything was clean and safe (and there’s even A/C!). Luis was helpful with everything we needed. The location is great- just a short walk to Playa Gigante and Playa Amarillo. We walked everyday to surf, eat, and swim. El Gigante is seriously a hidden gem in Nicaragua and so is this place. Definitely our favorite place we’ve stayed in Nicaragua!"

"Nous y avons passés 11 nuits (3 adultes et 2 enfants de 4 et 7 ans). c'est une très belle maison avec une très jolie vue. Tout est bien pensé, ce qui rend la maison très agréable à vivre. Aucun soucis pour y venir avec des enfants. Le personnel s'occupant de l’extérieur (jardin/piscine) est très efficace et très discret. La maison est sur les hauteurs de San Juan sans commerce ni restaurant à proximité ce qui veut dire 10-15 min de trajet pour se rendre en ville, par contre cela permet d'être...

"Staying at Casa De Mono for almost two weeks was the highlight of a month-long trek across four Latin American countries. We felt so much peace the moment we walked through the doors, thanks to the incredible view (the sunsets are phenomenal). Communication was easy with the caretaker, the workers were phenomenal when they’d come to take care of the pool and clean up, and I felt safe even when I spent time alone at the home if my partner went out to run errands. We saw monkeys almost every day,...

I like to give a special recognition to Gabriel Zamora, the property manager for being on top of things during our stay.

"This villa is the perfect retreat spot with spectacular views of the bay. Our host was super responsive and accommodating. The villa is set up with all the essentials including rockers and table, chaise chairs and a hammock for nap time 😉. The house is comfortable despite the afternoon heat but cross ventilation helps immensely. It’s less than a 10 minute walk into town and although the return walk is a bit in the steep side - totally walkable or you can catch a taxi in town vs walking or...
