About this property

Casa Pacifica- Paradise on the beach

This is one of the most peaceful places you will ever see in your life. The property sits on 3 acres of park-like manicured gardens right on the pacific ocean that will take your breath away. The front yard leads to miles of unspoiled beach virtually all to yourself.

You can surf right out front, but I prefer the World class breaks within a few minutes drive, including the Boom or take a short walk to Nahualapa Bay.

One of the best parts of the home is the huge enclosed screened porch area with a dining room and a large area to hang out with no bugs. We also have a massive 12m x 10 m (38x31 ft for us Americans) covered shaded terrazza with room for everyone to relax in a hammock, and a beautiful Nica style BBQ for your fresh catch of the day. As you go around back there is the truly amazing outdoor shower. Rinse off after a dip in the ocean, cool down with a shower in the afternoon sun or clean off after climbing one of the areas many volcanoes all under the shade of a gorgeous 200 year old Guanacaste tree. The house itself consists of 2 bedrooms - one with a queen sized bed, the other with 3 twins. We have an ample sized living room and there is a nice indoor kitchen with a full sized refrigerator and even a laundry machine!! All the rooms have ceiling fans.

This location is definitely far away from any of the cares of the world, but you can easily walk to 2 gringo restaurants which have lovely menu's and free wifi. If you have a car (which is highly recommended, but not absolutely necessary), you're a short drive to a handful of other great local and gringo owned spots.

If you have any activities in mind, let me know I can set you up with hiking volcanoes, biking, horseback riding, kayaking the Padre Ramos estuary (my personal favorite), surf lessons, yoga classes, or anything else that interests you.

Great experience

Renting this home was a great experience. It's well taken care of and the setting is really special. If you can't relax here, you never will. Thanks for everything.

Great Location Right on the Beach

The property was a little hard to find so be sure to get accurate directions. Once we arrived at the house we were welcomed by Fernando and shown around the place. He doesn't speak any English but luckily I had my local guide with me to give me the basics.. The property is very remote but I felt 100% safe. I walked on the beach for miles and didn't see very many people. It is a beautiful beach. The house itself is very rustic. The furniture is very old and worn out but still usable. The kitchen was functional and we had purified water to drink provided. There is a washing machine too. We had a slight problem with water one day but that was quickly taken care of for us. I have to say that I was very unhappy with the outdoor shower. The water pressure is terrible and the head is clogged so the water doesn't shoot out straight but in all kinds of different directions. Please note I'm very picky about showers. Even though it wasn't great, it still worked. I did love the large screened in area but there are no chairs or anything to sit on. So we brought a couple rocking chairs outside and enjoyed the quiet. There is NO Wi-fi, TV or radio. The ceiling fans didn't work so the house was very very hot. So if you are looking for a rustic, out-of-the-way place then this property would be perfect. The people are friendly and the beach is your own private beach.

Fabulous property, rustic house, poor furnishings

First of all, this is a fabulous piece of property with a million dollar setting on the Pacific Ocean and an almost deserted stretch of beach. The groundskeeper, Fernando, is friendly and helpful (but unilingual Spanish). The large screened-in porch is a fantastic place to sit and admire the view and enjoy the ocean breezes. Normally, I'm sure it's very restful, but unfortunately during our three-week stay, the neighbors were having a pool and stone terrace installed so the soothing sound of the ocean waves competed with the unsoothing sounds of construction, including an electric stone saw, from about 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. The house itself is serviceable as long as you don't have high expectations and are okay with no hot water and an outdoor shower. The beds and dressers are fine, although the double bed is sagging a bit in the middle. However, the furnishings consist only of a few tables, four rocking chairs, four plastic patio chairs (not loungers) and two barstools made for very tall people with very small bums. It seems to me it would be an easy and cheap upgrade to include a few patio loungers in the porch and a sofa (even a patio sofa with a cushion would be an upgrade) inside. With the current furniture setup, I can't recommend Casa Pacifica for longer-term stays - the seating is just too limited and uncomfortable. Which is a shame, because otherwise this is a superb place to get away from civilization for a while.

Stunning beach, quaint house.

We knew it was going to be a place to get away from it all. We were a little surprised that the caretaker was just outside our window sleeping in the hammock during most of our stay. He did save the day when the water suddenly stopped. The road in was gravel, may need a 4 wheel drive vehicle, we barely survived with a two. Best to buy groceries in Chinendega, unless you plan to subsist on beer! It was great to have laundry and a kitchen. The outdoor, cold shower took a little getting use to. The cold part was nice! The beach was perfect and the screened porch area was nice for playing games late into the night. In the picture the yard looks like grass but it was more a mix of underbrush and leaves.

Loved it!

This property was beautiful, we absolutely loved it. It is situated on a gorgeous, wide open beach. Amazing sunsets every night. Lots of land for my dog to run, and it felt very private. Land is well maintained by caretaker and guard, Fernando, who was a pleasure to have there. The house was comfortable and had what we needed. Of course, the outdoor shower was a special treat, in addition to the large screened in patio. There is also a nice outdoor grill we used often. We stayed approx. three weeks so property management company sent clean sheets and towels and checked in on us. They even escorted us there when we arrived, to be sure we found it. Majorie at the property management company helped me with whatever I needed and was excellent. Also, Borris from property management company lent us his motorcycle helmet when he saw we were missing one. Steve, the owner, recommended some great places to see, our favorite was kayaking the Estero Padre Ramos. There were lots of things to do in this area. I would definately return to this property.

Very nice- loved the beach

This is a great rental. The owner was very helpful, it's clean and well cared for. The beach is truly something special and we loved having the night watchman. The stars on a moonless night are legendary.

Great beach

We had a very nice time at casa Pacifico. It is truly right on the beach and the beach is truly deserted. We only saw the fishermen coming and going and some local Nicas on Sunday's. It became so normal until I showed friends the photos and they kept asking where are the other people. Anyway, the house is small but clean. We spnt all of our time in the hammocks or in the enclosed porch. I loved the shower. It is outside, so that could bother some people, but It is blocked from view. This is not the Ritz on South Beach, but for the money, quality and seclusion, you cant beat it. Great for a relaxing surf vacation.

Excellent stay

A few Friends decided to check out Northern Nica for a long weekend and we ended up staying here. It was an excellent place. It has everything we needed along with some bonuses like like the bocce ball game. I don't want to focus on it too much, but the yard is absolutely huge- the owner said almost 3 acres, and I'd say it might be more. Anyway, we played all around it after our morning surfing. The surf in the area is sick. We loved the Boom and Nahualapa. My boyfriend spotted a nice left not too far from the house, some locals had never even surfed it. There's literally no one around. That said we did meet some folks for cocktails in town, so if you're looking for that sort of thing, it is around. This is no SJDS and we liked it that way, but if you're looking for a scene, this is not it. Anyway, beds are comfy, there's fans in all the rooms, dinners in the screened porch were great. We'd love to stay here again.

Great value

My wife and I lived here for a month while she worked on her research project. We could not have been happier. To be honest we were worried that based on the price it would be a dumpy surf casita, but it was really well done. The screened porch was amazing, and having the beach right out the front door was just perfect. The support staff at the real estate office helped us set up weekend trips and the owner was always available both before and during our stay. The outdoor shower was something to look forward to a few times a day and we even had a big BBQ party on our last night. It rained (only time the whole month!), but with the huge covered patio we didn't miss a beat. We got internet daily at Al Cielo or the Tapas place at Nahualapa, but we really felt like we were completely on our own. All of our needs were easily met and exceeded. Thanks for a great stay.

Loved it

4 of us decided to leave our Spanish school in Leon and spend a week at this house. We couldn't have had a better time. We walked to the surf breaks at Nahualapa daily, then spent the afternoons being lazy at the house and cooking dinner on the awesome BBQ. The screened porch was where we spent most of our time and we couldn't be happier. Thanks!!

Why they chose this property

Some things in life are just obvious, buying this property was one of them. Sometimes you come across a truly special place and for me, this is that place. I was living in San Juan Del Sur and as a realtor at home, was interested in property options. After looking around there and being disappointed with the quality and price, I asked about the North of the country. I was told it is too under developed, that there is nothing there and that it might never turn into a hotspot like SJDS. I immediately decided this was the perfect place. I viewed the land and bought it that day. A few years later while camping on the land I met the neighbor who said he was interested in moving farther from the ocean, I knew I couldn't pass it up, so I purchased his house and land. We painstakingly renovated the property and we so excited to share it with others !

What makes this property unique

This property is perfect if you want to get back to basics, its very far away from the real world, although if you want it, its easy enough to obtain- My phone works perfectly for instance. Its just a really special thing to have an entire beach to yourself in such an idyllic place. Over the years we've found out about all the activities that are available. They are amazing, and they are not expensive or over run with tourists - There are almost no tourists at all! Come see this place, enjoy the gardens and the yard, pick mangos and limes, swim alone on the beach, cook up the days catch on the BBQ and feel Central American life the way it is really lived, far away from the tourist hang outs and hawkers.
