About this house rental

PLEASE NOTE: I will NEVER ask for payment OUTSIDE of this app (via PAYPAL, Bank Transfer etc.), All forms of payment will go directly through VRBO for your protection.


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.

We stayed for a month ‘workation’. THE HOUSE: well laid out, nice and open, loved the balcony that runs its entire length. The AC in the bedrooms worked great, the main part of the house does not have AC but has fans and there is always a breeze being at the top of a hill. Kitchen was well outfitted, lots of appliances, dishes and cutlery. Had a great BBQ. We worked remotely and the internet was great – we asked the host to increase the bandwidth speed to be sure for $90. Worth it. THE PROPERTY: The pool and its view is outstanding. The monkeys visit the trees around it. There are chairs and a hammock, the chairs are pretty uncomfortable. Would be nice to have more comfortable chairs or a loungers so you could hang out. The pool is shared with the house below but no one was ever at the pool when we went. They have done a really nice job with the grounds, lots of plants and bougainvillea, feels quite private. The house is called Casa Colina for a reason. The hill is steep, you are breathing heavy/have a good sweat on by the time you get to the house. We are in our late 40s and in good shape so we didn’t mind it. THE LOCATION: You can walk into the heart of SJDS in less than 10 mins. Lots of shops, restaurants and bars, car rentals, markets. This is a town where locals live, so you walk through a neighbourhood on the way in. It's rustic and gritty, but we never felt unsafe and people were friendly. Loved all the dogs, cats, and chickens cruising around.

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 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.

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.

great location, very near town as well as experience the wonders of a jungle setting. gorgeous views, rustic, but comfortable with everything you would need to enoy your stay. It is open to the elements, with the best outdoors, so make sure you are ok with the occaisional encounter with the local wildlife.
