About this property

The Sea House, San Juan Del Sur, Paradise Bay ...Tranquility Beckons

DEAR VISITOR, ~~ All Covid Related Travel Restrictions have be Lifted ~~
It is with great pleasure that we share our family home which offers many one of a kind features that will ensure you experience the natural wonders of Nicaragua both inside and out! We did our best to mesh nature with unique antique objects with modern comforts. The traditional, Spanish Colonial style is comfortable and relaxed and easy to settle into so you can choose whether to detox from your hectic life or use as a home base as you fill your day with activities. Read on to learn about the many activities available without ever leaving the property.

You will be greeted by our property manager and two caretakers (who live on-site) in addition to their furry companion, Petey. The first floor has incredibly high ceilings, is open concept and boasts a modern kitchen with full size, stainless steel appliances along with a view of the Pacific Ocean. Seating for the entire gang is guaranteed with a formal table that seats 10 and bar seating for 8. Counters are both black granite and reclaimed barn wood which add natural charm to the house. From the multiple sofas you can watch a large screen TV or enjoy the colorful inside garden which contains a unique wall fountain which sports an antique seahorse spout. Also available is Smart TV; a DVD and movie selection; bluetooth and aux stereo connection so you can connect to our multi floor sound system; HDMI cord, and of course Internet. A half bath that has both inside and outside accessibility is adjacent to the living room. There is a rustic wood dining table on the outside patio which sits atop locally crafted tiles and lounges to sip drinks by the pool or snooze in the two hammocks. Palm trees and flowering vegetation surround the pool and perimeter of the house. Then you and a partner can shower side by side al fresco in the sunken shower area. There are terraced gardens with fruit trees and flowers galore.

To arrive at the bedrooms, you pass a sweet sitting area midway where a fold out sofa and lamp and inlaid, wooden compass rose. The first bedroom you pass is deemed 'the bunk room' because there are 3 sets of bunk beds that sleep 6. The height between bunks is substantial enough for an adult to NOT feel like they're away at summer camp. The bunk room has A/C, a private bath with two sinks and also a private balcony with ocean and hillside views. Down the hall are two additional bedrooms one with a king bed and one with a queen bed, A/C, an abundance of closets, private baths with on demand hot water, and access to the large furnished second story patio. Check out the pics because this is a really nice, private area with sofa and chairs to watch the whales breach during certain seasons or an amazing lightening storm, the sun set, read, or host a gathering at the concrete counter/sink bar. There are also outside speakers for your party music!

Overall the house has super high ceilings and fans to help keep it cool and massive iron chandeliers to light the night. The bedrooms have air conditioning and hot water on demand. There is decorative iron work through the house along with countless seahorse accents. The official spacious parking area is directly across from the entrance door. Almost forgot to mention the pool, which has a nice shallow end for lounging with a drink or a safe place for little ones to splash. If you must work off some calories, you can tread in the deep end or do laps.

Most recently added in our spacious parking lot is a covered rancho with two hammocks and fans and lots of room for yoga overlooking the hillside and ocean. If yogas not your thing, then you can play horseshoes, practice balance on a slack line, which is part of the "Sea House Gym for Muscles" where you can also do pull ups, chin ups, dips and play tug of war with our dog, Petey. Parking is allowed in our parking lot only, not behind the tall, wooden gates.

We love the location and our friends and family have unanimously commented about how quiet it is which is a bonus because you are so close to the town of San Juan del Sur which offers many options for dining and drinking and dancing. Or, if you choose, there is a wood/charcoal burning or propane grilling station along with a sink for convenience along with an herb garden and fruit trees at your disposal. Nothing beats a dinner of fresh fish which can be purchased at the fishing docks at the bay.

If this is your first trip to Nica, please note that it is ultra casual so, ladies, leave those high heels and super fancy clothes and jewelry at home. Instead bring your sunscreen, comfy shoes, hats and sundresses to enjoy the warm weather and activities. There are so many things to do in the area. So far, we've gone horseback riding on the beach, zip lining, taken in the view from the Jesus statute on the hill, gone deep sea fishing and surfing, watched baby turtles be released to the ocean, taken day trips to the colonial city of Granada and the Volcan Masaya, swam in the glorious waters of Laguna de Apoyo (a lake that formed in the center of an extinct volcano).

I hope you will choose to allow us to share our home away from home in San Juan del Sur. Our caretaker Marina can be hired to cook fabulous meals and her husband, Eddy, can help you start the charcoal grill and rearrange the patio chairs to your favorite location. Both will help make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Petey will make you smile all day and night. Please do note that he is the king of his castle so no other pets are allowed. We ask that you do not feed him table food.

The Sea House is approximately a 5 minute drive to town or about 15 minutes on foot to the bay in San Juan del Sur.. Please note that fancy clothing or shoes are not necessary in Nicaragua, especially if you want to walk to town. If you rent a vehicle, we recommend a 4 x 4. Or you may utilize a very reliable transportation company, Gaby Transporte, for rides back and forth to town or for all day excursions.

Note: electricity is incredibly expensive, but we include 25 kilowatts of electric per day. Meter readings are taken day of arrival and day of departure. Client is required to pay for additional kilowatt usage.

RATES: $150/2 guests; $25 each additional guest
$50 administrative fee to offset credit card fees
$500 refundable security deposit, held by VRBO.

We have a strict no refund on cancellation policy, as we depend on funds to make constant necessary improvements.

Finally, if you'd like the opposite experience of skiing the breathtaking Colorado Rockies, please checkout our VRBO listing 450895, which will describe the gorgeous Grand Lodge on Peak 7. It's a ski in/ski out, 5 star accommodation that will make cold weather seem heavenly :)

Breathtaking Views
Our stay at the Sea House was Incredible! Upon arrival we had a wonderful meal prepared!! Omg so delightful after our travels and delicious!! We had the jalapeño chicken with salad and rice!! Incredible fruits and ice cold beer! The house itself is gorgeous and so comfortable!! You never want to leave in fact we spent several days just enjoying the pool, the sounds and the peacefulness of the view! I will never get sick of that view!! We did take in many of the near by beaches and Hermosa was our favourite!! The water is so nice and the people amazing. San Juan Del sure is an incredible town where you will find so many amazing places to eat and relax. Don’t be afraid to try some of the hidden tiny restaurants!! We found their food was the best if you want to enjoy the try culture… be sure to hit the fish market every day wow the seafood is incredible. The jumbo shrimps and lobster!! The staff at the home are incredibly kind and wonderful!! Always there if we needed anything and Peety the dog is lovely and very affectionate!! I would absolutely recommend The Sea house and San Juan Del Sur!! Warm, Friendly, Safe! Thank you so much Rose!! We hope to back soon!!

Perfection
I can't say enough about my experience. From the time I booked Rose made me feel like a friend. The pictures on here do not begin to do this house justice. The detail on everything had me in just as much awe as the sunsets. The bed was super comfortable, the pool couldn't have been better and Eddy and Marina were great. And Petey took me on a walk that had even more amazing views. Marina's cooking is fantastic too. I could go on and on about how great everything was. Thanks so much Rose !

Do not miss this property
The Sea House really lives up to its excellent reviews!!! We all felt like we were in an absolute dream. The house is beyond gorgeous with every single detail thought of. Marina was an absolute gem, cooking amazing meals and helping pick up our groceries. The view is stunning and if you can believe it the pictures don’t do the house justice. The house is a 15 or so minute walk from a very secluded and beautiful beach, it has all the perks!! The beds were so comfortable all of us looked at the brand individually to see if we could buy the mattresses ourselves at home. We can’t wait to come back!! Do not skip this incredible home.

About the host

Hosted by Rose Downs

Host profile image
We are a family of four travelers. Our two boys (now in their 20s) have accompanied us across oceans, on cruises, up and down the Rocky Mountains, and now have settled in to enjoy a Pacific Coast paradise in none other than Paradise Bay, San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. We fell in love with Latin America when we visited Costa Rica. The sunsets were like none we'd ever seen!! But, at the end of the day, we all agreed the country felt too commercialized. After visiting Nicaragua, we knew we'd need to build a home because it had that Wild West feel but still was incredibly safe and civilized. The Paradise Bay Development in San Juan del Sur had everything we wished for....peace and quiet, phenomenal views, very close access to town and markets and incredible surf spots but, and best of all, people so friendly they feel like family.

Our long term goal is to escape some of the harsh New Jersey winter months at our paradise home. Right now, we are content to enjoy several weeks a year and offer the house to other families to enjoy while we are not there.

NOTE: IF YOU WOULD ENJOY A 5-STAR SKI IN-SKI OUT VACATION, PLEASE VISIT OUR VRBO LISTING #450895.

Why they chose this property

Once you visit this house, you will know exactly why we find it so appealing. Our furniture is all hand crafted and we worked very closely with our builder to design every element to ensure it reflected our personalities. That being informal and comfortable; unique and interesting. After countless changes, we have a home that is nothing less than wonderful !! Thanks to our builder, we believe we have successfully achieved a home that delivers the WOW Factor! Also, as you will see, we have a seahorse theme running throughout the house. Someday we will count them all, until then, we invite our guests to count them for us. More will be added each year, so you'll have to return to re-count :)

What makes this property unique

The Sea House is unique because it was created with the ultimate goal of providing a comfortable space not only to entertain friends but to watch generations of our family grow. As proud parents, we look forward to someday having grandchildren splash in the pool or explore the yard for frogs and geckos; to watch the flocks of parrots fly by; to ride horses on the beach; catch giant fish and surf giant waves. Until then, we invite you to make your own memories with your family and friends at our lovely home away from home.
