About this property
Luxurious Private Residence in town of San Juan - Best Location and Amazing View
Casa Miramar is "IN TOWN" on the south side of San Juan Bay. It takes just four minutes to touch the sand (really) and maybe four more to reach the center of town, allowing for easy access to all town has to offer. Amazing views of San Juan Bay, back-up power and water, privacy, pool, AC, bluetooth portable speakers, extra surfboards...the house has it all.
Most groups book with us primarily due to our location and then are always pleasantly surprised by all that Casa Miramar has to offer. Casa Miramar is a spacious and private compound that contains two Villa's situated around an amazing courtyard full of lush landscaping. Both of the Villa's are situated to fully maximize the excellent ocean and town views. The front doors of each Villa open up to your private pool oasis and BBQ veranda. Upon your arrival you will be stopped in your tracks by the breathtaking views of the entire bay and beach. The exterior of the property is surrounded by tropical plants, flowers, and trees. No detail has been overlooked for your comfort. Well furnished and impeccably maintained. This is your home away from home.
Each bedroom has whisper-quiet A/C units and ceiling fans to keep you cool while you sleep.
All bedrooms are located on the upper story. Bedroom Breakdown: 1 oversized King Bedroom with en-suite Bathroom (view & balcony) 1 oversized King Bedroom with en-suite Bathroom (view & balcony) 1 King Bedroom with en-suite Bathroom (view & balcony) 1 Queen Bedroom with shared Bathroom (view & balcony) 1 Queen Bedroom with shared Bathroom (no view or balcony)
Living areas in both Villas are downstairs with two complete kitchens, two living rooms, two dining rooms and two half bathrooms.
The outdoor area consists of a beautiful pool with a shallow side and a spacious pergola-covered patio with a BBQ, Pizza oven, sink, and table and chairs. A pleasantly landscaped courtyard separates the two villas which are never rented separately and allows guests with larger groups to have more than ample interior space for everyone
With the ocean, it is easy for surfers to check the wind and wave conditions by glancing at the direction of the boats moored in the bay, and the size of the San Juan Beach Break. Boat trips for surfing or fishing can be booked by request on a modern and fast boat with a knowledgeable Captain for an excellent price.
As the owner of Zen Yoga, your stay includes half-off Yoga classes, and discounted massage (either at the studio or at the house). You can see the studio schedule and special offerings at ZenYogaNicaragua...just look us up on the web.
We also have a meal plan or cooking service if groups want to leave that detail to someone else. Just let us know.
Come enjoy this beautiful and luxurious home and make it a place you bring your family and friends when it's time to show them this amazing town.

An amazing way to start our vacation. Vanessa and her mom Debra were so accommodating. The house is beautiful with everything you need. We didn't even have to leave the property. The private chef is 100% worth it. The best authentic food. And the massages were fantastic. 12/10 we would return.

Our staff absolutely loved having you stay! Thank you for this wonderful review!
We had a wonderful stay at Casa Miramar. The property is in great condition with all the amentiies available for cooking and relaxing. The bedrooms were well appointed and comfortable. The views were great from the balconies. The living spaces and outdoor patios were roomy and comfortable for our group. There is adequate parking and a great location overlooking the town.Overall, we loved our stay and Vanessa and Deborah were responsive and helpful, which made it special for our girls reunion. Thank you!

Thank you for this positive review! We strive to make each guest 100% happy!
Perfect spot for a large group in SJDS. Beautifully done home with large bedrooms and great appliances. View is awesome...outdoor areas are great for lounging. Vanessa and her team went over the top to make sure our stay was top notch. Daily cleanings of our place, Laundry on site and generally very kind! She offered to grab us dinner upon our arrival (as we were getting in rather late) and helped with any other questions/asks we had during our stay.10/10! Hope to be back soon :)

Thank you for staying with us! We appreciate your kind words about your stay.
I stayed here with four of my sisters from Canada, and we had the most wonderful experience. The villas were beautiful, the location perfect, and the views absolutely breathtaking. The pool was the ideal place to relax and cool off. A big thank you to Vanessa and Deborah for their warm hospitality—we truly feel honored to have met you. Thanks to the cleaning staff for keeping the place spotless. We’re already looking forward to returning in January!

Thanks for staying with us again! Can’t wait to host you again! Take care!
Beautiful and clean home. Great location. We walked to town for dinners every night. Venessa is a great host! Highly recommend this home if you are in SJ.
We had a really wonderful stay at Casa Miramar with a group of adult friends. The two properties right next to each other give tons of space, the pool is great, the view is amazing. The hosts Vanessa and Debra could not have been more helpful. We loved being able to walk into town for dinners.
We spent some time in between Christmas and new years with family and the house was perfect. We enjoyed the pool and the proximity to town was ideal. We would definitely stay here again.
We loved our stay here. Very friendly host that responded quickly to any requests or questions that we had. Helped us arrange transportation to a nearby beach that was perfect for us. Rooms are in two houses connected by the patio. Worked perfect for our group as the teens could be in one space with two bedrooms and the adults in the other with three rooms. Easy walk down hill to town and beach. So close to town you can hear town party noises at night on occasion. Great outdoor and indoor spaces.
The house is very nice and well situated. We wanted to stay in town in walking distance to everything and the location of this house fit that bill perfectly. The house well designed, the AC worked and pool and veranda well suited for resting and enjoying one's vacation time. The owner was extremely helpful in organizing our shuttle from CR. She, or the property manager (a family member) answered any question we had promptly. We would not stay anywhere else if you returned to SJDS.
We had an amazing stay at Casa Miramar. The location is perfect and is only a short walk to town. The house also has amazing views. Vanessa and her mom were easy to communicate with and made sure special accommodations were made as we brought our one year old son with us. We hope to return soon!

Thank you, Scott! What an awesome group. We can’t wait to host you again!
Our group celebrated a milestone birthday and reunion, and we couldn’t have picked a better location. The villas are beautiful and situated close to town, so walking everywhere is possible. Our wonderful hosts, Vanessa and Deborah, helped us with details like a private sailing tour and a celebratory meal at the villa. I can’t recommend this property enough!
Property was great. I would recommend not having cleaning people daily. It is not necessary and kind of uncomfortable.

Thank you so much for your 5 star ⭐️ review! We appreciate your feedback about the house being great! We will make sure guests are aware of daily housekeeping and to let us know if they want to keep it as is or have less. All the best.
We had an unforgettable stay at Miramar House! The stunning ocean views took our breath away, and the comfort and warmth of the entire space made us feel like we were in our own home. The cozy bedrooms with breathtaking views were the perfect haven for relaxation. The location was ideal, with easy access to the beach, port, and city center. Vanessa and Barbara were exceptional hosts, providing us with all the information we needed. We can't wait to return!
This was our second time staying at Casa Miramar and it was perfect for our two families- easy walking to town and 15 minute drive from beaches. Our host took pains to be sure we had electricity and water while the town was experiencing shortages. Cooked meals at home were delicious.
Nice townhomes. A bit of a hill to walk back from town but manageable, even for my elderly parents. Attentive staff.

About the host
Hosted by Vanessa Pattison
We (Vanessa & Will) moved to San Juan in 2005 from Ventura, California, bought the proprryy and built a house because we love it here.
We had our three boys born right here in Nicaragua and love raising them in this gorgeous country. Keeping it simple and free.
Will builds custom homes and surfs as much as possible. Vanessa loves yoga and built and opened Zen Yoga in 2012, she is also very active in the community and at her children's school. Vanessa is also a doula.
We enjoy the simple and easy pace of life in San Juan. It is a great place to live and the temperature is always nice, so we are outside a lot...at the beach surfing, swimming, or just lounging by the pool.
We have all the connections here for any excursions, spa services, etc to make the perfect vacation.
Why they chose this property
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! The house is in San Juan and high enough for awesome views but still walking distance to everything. The neighborhood is safe, friendly, and you can purchase fish, shrimp lobster, or beer on the way home.
What makes this property unique
Since Casa Miramar is IN town a vehicle is not needed. But, we have an extra 4x4 to rent if you want to e xplore for a day or more. Many beaches can be accessed with a town shuttle, taxi, or panga boat trip.
The house keepers can shop and cook as well as their usual duties of cleaning. They make amazing ceviche, salsa, guacamole and fresh chips as well as natural juices. As mentioned, our guests receive half off yoga and discounted massage...feel free to check the schedule or contact us directly at Zenyoganicaragua. You can find us on the web.
