Incredible!

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, so many species of birds, and, yes, some unwanted critters (scorpions, snakes), which actually made the experience that much more raw and exciting. We hope to return one day in the near future!

Pros and Cons

The property is beautiful, staff is friendly, sunsets are stunning, and the beach is great! We had a few minor issues that were taken care of promptly with the help of Veronica. And, we had two tasty meals prepared by the local cook, Erica. However, we booked this property because it was listed as secluded (no neighbors, with nature/animals). Most of the 9 nights were spent with earplugs as the neighbors were partying until the early morning (the next villa is steps away from Casa De Mono, which is deceiving based on the property listing). The community has quiet hours, but this is not enforced. Unfortunately, we did not have the restful jungle experience we had hoped for.

Peace of mind

This is a very nice place to stay at, if you are looking to get away from the noicy city this is it. It has a very nice view to the beach, cool breeze at night. I really enjoy staying at casa del mono. If you are planning to stay here, just come with everything you may need. No supermarket or stores around. But you can find a few restaurant down at the beach.

Paradise!

Our first trip to SJDS was amazing! From the moment we walked into this home we felt at ease. The views are stunning, and the home is immaculate. We spent hours in the pool and sitting in the rockers enjoying the wildlife and reading books. Home is very welcoming and very clean with everything you need. There were 2 couples and we always had plenty of space to relax. The location was perfect - quiet and relaxing and away from the hustle of town. We had in house massages that were incredible - highly recommend! We also had Jennifer cook in for us on 3 nights and she was amazing! Her cooking was out of this world, and she was very accommodating. This is a must do for sure! Our host, Veronica, was extremely responsive and helped us navigate the entire process. I cannot wait to come back to paradise - I was sad that we had to leave. Thank you for sharing a piece of it with us!

About the host

Hosted by Carol

Casa De Mono is owned by a Dave, Carol and Ed. We live in Southern California and try to visit a few times per year. Our style is adventurous, and we like to go to exotic places and try different things.

Why they chose this property

When we arrived in Nicaragua, we stayed in San Juan Del Sur and loved it. The Nicaraguan people are wonderful and the expats are cool and very interesting - I can see why they never leave. After looking at land in various places, we picked our area 'Balcones de Majagual' because the beaches were so beautiful and secluded. In addition, the developers believed in preserving nature and building in a way that uses local, sustainable woods and building materials. We were sold on it, bought a lot and decided to build a custom home. Our home, Casa De Mono, was finished at the end of 2008. At Casa De Mono, you get lots of nature, the best beaches in Nicaragua, yet are still close enough to the nightlife of San Juan Del Sur - about a 20 minute drive.

What makes this property unique

Our house is one of the most private in our community and positioned so you won't see or hear the neighbors. The views and sunsets are spectacular! We have a very nice private infinity pool and GREAT outdoor space. We're one of the closest to the beach as well. An easy 20 minute walk down the private nature path. The drive is just a few minutes.
