We invite you to our new vacation home, located next to San Juan del Sur, an up and coming eco-tourism mecca. The Tortuga Azul is a brand new luxury home and is exactly what you are looking for in a vacation home! The house is designed and built to North American standards and has all the conveniences of home... plus a few!!

CHECK OUT OUR GUEST COMMENTS! THEY ARE THE BEST!

We have A/C in every room for the hot days and the house can be opened up for an indoor/outdoor living environment leading directly onto the open pool deck. We also designed the home to provide fabulous views from almost every point in the house.

Wake up in the morning in the Master Bedroom and you overlook the infinity pool with views of the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop! The master bedroom is an oasis of its own. At about 600 sq.ft., it has a wonderfull round built-in sitting area designed for lounging, french doors opening directly to the pool deck, a King size bed that will make you want to stay in bed all day, and an awesome walk in tile/glass block shower with double heads for two!

The second master is also spacious and is complete with a tile and glass block bath/shower, a nice window seating area and has a queen size bed also of the highest quality. The two masters are separated for privacy by the kitchen and living area.

We designed the main living area in a Great-Room design where everything flows together and again views abound! From the elevated kitchen there is a sitting bar made from the local wood. The entire home is accented with the beautiful woods and canes of the area. The great-room area is vaulted to a stunning 16 feet with open wood beams and a cane ceiling for an exquisite effect. Open the double doors and again experience indoor/outdoor tropical living at its best. The giant glass doors lead to a covered porch area spanning the entire length of the house and open to the pool deck area for suntanning and pool fun! You will enjoy some of the most spectacular sunsets on earth lounging in the swinging porch chairs or relaxing in the infinity edge pool.

The pool itself was a creation from the many pools we have seen in our travels, combining a Waterfall spilling into the pool at one end, a curved infinity edge that spans the entire pool, and seating along the back side of the pool with jets to massage your back, all facing the incredible sunsets you will see while soaking an evening away!! The pool also has a large shelf that is appx 18 inches deep and is perfect for small children and lounging! A turtle "swims" on the floor of the pool. For the evening, we've equiped the house with satelite tv with western U.S. feeds. We are also set up with both back up water and power systems, for those occasional unexpected outages.

We are located overlooking the bay to the North of San Juan, Nacascola Bay, which puts us about a 10 min. walk to San Juan, or a 5 min. drive. We are right on the way to the surf beaches to the North, Marsella, Maderas, Majaguel, etc. Guests of the house can look forward to relaxing privacy in close proximity to points of interest both North and South.

The home comes with a fully equipped kitchen with all the utensils and cookware you might need to prepare your best seafood feast. San Juan del Sur boast many outstanding resteraunts including El Jardin which is right next door to Tortuga Azul.

A caretaker lives in a separate quarter in order to help clean the pool and home.

We are happy to share our knowledge of the San Juan area as well as other parts of Nicaragua, just send us an email with questions!!

We know that you will enjoy a wonderful vacation, as we have many times, to this enchanting part of the world.

  • The owner's description of the house on the beginning of this page pretty much sums it up. My girlfriend and I just returned from Nicaragua and we had the time of our life. The house was incredible. It is really clean. Everything still looks brand new. The views are incredible and the sunsets are even better. The pool was a welcome respite, because Nicaragua in June can get a little warm. William, the caretaker, is warm and caring, and will do anything to help. I would highly recommend this house. We are already trying to plan a return trip. Thanks John, for sharing your house with us.

  • Just got back from 10 days in San Juan. Loved the place, loved the house! It was beautiful, clean, had great views. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. William was great, as well.

  • I couldn't have planned better for a more relaxing week in Nica. I visit San Juan del Sur 7 or 8 times a year and this is by far the best place I've stayed. Private yet near town, secure and the pool is incredible for 1st thing in the AM dips - not to mention after siesta, for the sunset, midnight, etc. We were there in November and the sunsets were exact bulls-eyes in the bay. The house is 1st class with great bathrooms and very comfortable beds. Kitchen is perfect for entertaining. The final touch is William the caretaker. Complete gentleman and knows everything about the house and property in the event of any pilot failure (me not knowing how to work something simple). Enjoy!

  • This was my 3rd trip to Nicaragua. I decided to rent a house rather than stay in hotels. “Tortuga Azul “was great. It is so peaceful, clean and private. The house and pool are fantastic. The house is fully equipped and ready to go. I made several short trips into the country and really enjoyed being able to return to a place of my own. Much more private and relaxing than any hotel could ever be. San Juan del Sur was far enough away to afford a quite environment but close enough to be able to go eat, get supplies or enjoy the night life. The owners are a great resource and were able to answer all my questions about the area. Also they made some great suggestions on new places to explore. I’m in the process of planning another trip to Nica and plan to stay at “Tortuga Azul”. If someone is considering a trip to Nicaragua, San Juan del Sur is a great destination.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the Tortuga Azul! It was our honeymoon and we couldn't have picked a better spot. The house was very comfortable with all the amenities. Beautiful views of the bay below from the front porch and in the pool ( saw whales swimming by one morning ). Perfect location, 10 mins to San Juan Del Sur and 10 mins to Maderas beach. Serene, relaxing and beautiful! We'll be back. P.S. William is awesome! Make sure to do something nice for him, he's a good man.

    This place is exquisite, and the view is breath-taking. I have enjoyed “Tortuga Azul” on three occasions and have not been disappointed. (Sept. ’07; Oct. ’07; Mar. ’08) My husband & I experienced one of the most relaxing vacations ever in October 2007. I am currently planning my fourth stay at “Tortuga Azul” to attend language school with four friends. The owners are great to work with, & the grounds-keeper, William, is a gem. The description on the listing is spot on; the master suite is, in fact, an oasis of its own. Waking up to the view of the Pacific just over the infinity edge pool is heavenly. The pool is luscious. The plantings are beautiful and the complete and utter privacy is phenomenal. If you can’t wind down and decompress at this luxury vacation home, then you’ve got serious issues! The people of Nicaragua are the friendliest you’ll find. You’ll fall in love with them. I serve the people of Nicaragua through Project H.o.p.e., based out of Springfield, Missouri. After years of coordinating short-term mission teams, I finally took the time to enjoy some R & R and soak up the beautiful sights of San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. “Tortuga Azul” is a great find! What took me so long?!! You definitely need your own transportation for driving from the house to town. Likewise, you’ll want to venture out to the nearby beaches. It’s nice to have your own transportation. With the new Pali grocery store in town, you won’t have any problem finding what you need for dining in. When you’re ready to dine out, I highly recommend El Pacifico (in close proximity to the house). In town, visit El Timon (Try the batter-fried lobster tail – You get three for $12), Brisas (The shrimp are delicious!), O Sole Mio (Incredible pasta!), Mauricio’s (Great pizza and pasta.) El Gato Negro (Great for breakfast and lunch. Try the chocolate chip banana muffins and the espresso brownies!). I have heard great things about El Colibri, but haven’t tried it, yet. If you absolutely have to have a “fix” from the States, you can visit Subway in the heart of town, but why would you? If you’re not too stuffed after your beach-front dining, stroll down to Eskimo for a cone or sundae. For that extra-special night out - Pelican Eyes for happy hour to view the sunset, then stay for an incredible meal. You can’t go wrong staying at “Tortuga Azul,” while soaking up San Juan! Nothing will disappoint you, except for having to leave it all at the end of your stay.

  • This vacation home represents the charm Nicaragua with stellar amenities. This is a no-stress zone because as soon as you step onto the open patio and look over the beautiful infinity pool which overlooks the ocean, you can only take in a deep breath and feel the tranquility. The open living/kitchen areas have beautiful views of the ocean, so whether sipping your first cup of Nica coffee or ending the day with a flavorful Nica rum n’ coka. You are surrounded by lush landscape and the open bay. Though there is no need to head out for dinner as the kitchen is fully equipped, espresso machine and all, the casa is only minutes to the heart of San Juan del Sur where you’ll find access to some of the best cafés and restaurants.

    This is a great property! After a long search of rentals in the area this house proved to have the best combination of location, price and amenities (plus friendly owners willing to answer questions!). The home has all of the western amenities you might expect plus a fabulous view, pool and stylish local Nicaraguan finishes. The property is just far enough away from San Juan del Sur that you can easily go into town for fun or supplies and then retreat to the peace of the house or the northern beaches as needed. Adventure in the form of canopy tours (Flying Frog) and surfing (Playa Maderas) are minutes away and great regional day trips are also possible.

    We had a wonderful time at the house. It had everything that we needed, and the pool was great. Both Kerstin and William were very helpful. The house was so great that we kept thinking that it would be fun to come back with Nicole's family! Thanks again for sharing you wonderful Nica house with us, Scott
