About this property

Breathtaking Ocean View from Amazing Infinity Pool

Casa Mariposa is a beautiful, ocean view home only 25 minutes from San Juan del Sur offering breathtaking ocean views and just a short walk to Playa el Coco.

The secluded half mile wide beach, is perfect for surfing, fishing, and sunset walks. When you are not in the mood for sand between your toes head back up to the house to relax with a book or cocktail on the expansive patio by the infinity pool. Unwind in the cool ocean breeze listening to the sound of the ocean waves or cool off with a dip in the pool. Take in the views of the mountain and the Pacific Ocean. You may even see a migrating humpback whale in the distance or be entertained by Howler monkeys passing by in the surrounding trees. No need to leave the house for meals as you can use the well equipped kitchen or the outdoor brick oven to prepare your dinner. Or better yet, treat yourself, and have Casa Mariposa’s cuidador, Freddy, spoil you with one of his famous local dishes. Enjoy a hot shower and then a restful night’s sleep in one of the four spacious, air-conditioned bedrooms. This exotic location offers many modern comforts like high speed internet, whole house air conditioning, filtered water, hot water, and solar power with lithium battery back up for reliable electricity.

If you are looking for some adventure and exploration, you need not look far. Casa Mariposa’s cuidador, Norlan, will be happy to assist you in making arrangements for guided or unguided excursions. Venture out to Ometepe in Lake Nicaragua for spectacular views of the volcanos and a taste of the local decadent chocolate. Thrill seekers can take a day trip to Cerro Negro, near Leon, for the once in a lifetime opportunity to go volcano boarding. On the way back to Casa Mariposa stop by Masaya Volcano to be awestruck by the molten lava bubbling up from Earth’s interior. Closer to home you can go horseback riding on our beach or visit Playa Hermosa (where Survivor seasons 29 & 30 were filmed) for world class surfing and relaxation.

Whether you are seeking a vacation full of fun and excitement or rest and relaxation you will find it here at Casa Mariposa.

Family fun

The house was perfect for us! Two families, with 3 kids between us, we stayed for 4 nights and loved the pool, being a short (steep) walk from the beach and having Freddi cook us dinner a few of the nights. The road to Playa el Coco is rough, but other than that, this was a perfect spot for a family holiday!

My husband kept saying, 'this is the ideal vacation."

We stayed in Casa Mariposa for nine days. We found the house to be extremely comfortable and homey. The view was incredible. Freddis was so wonderful. The surfing, horseback riding and variety of beaches to explore made every day fun and exciting. We loved that it was outside of the tourist scene in San Juan del sur. We can't wait to come back again!

FABULOUS!!

We stayed almost a week at Casa Mariposa over Thanksgiving 2015 with our son, his wife and 3 children and it turned out to be more than we could have ever imagined. We all loved it! The view is spectacular and the beach breathtaking. Freddie, the caretaker, couldn't have been nicer and took care of all our needs and cooked dinner several evenings for us which was yummy. the house is great - very comfortable and easily accommodated all of us. We hope to go again and recommend it highly.

Beautiful place

Absolutely beautiful house. We loved the fact the house has 3 bathrooms for each bedroom. Peaceful and quiet surroundings. You can even hear the sound of the waves. The pool is a huge plus. The two guys who work there are very attentive. They clean the pool and the surroundings every morning. The communication with the host is easy and very informative. A sign on the side of the main road would be way better to find the house. Other than that, we loved staying in this house. I'd come back to it all the time! Thanks so much to DJ and to the two workers on site for giving us a wonderful experience.

Unbelievable

Let me be clear: casa mariposa is great. Our stay was both relaxing and invigorating. I highly recommend it. We spent hours lounging on the pool's floating toys, reading in the sun and enjoying the sights and sounds of the ocean. We watched movies on the digital cable. We cooked in the kitchen, which provided all necessary amenities. We walked down the hill (under the swinging branches of trees filled with howler monkeys) to coco beach to enjoy a drink and swim (perfect waves!). We also visited the beach 5km south at night to see thousands of large turtles laying eggs - an unforgettable experience. The house was exceptionally clean, except for the occasional visit from a moth the size of a bird - this surprise made our stay all the better! Our only regret is that we didn't have more time to enjoy casa mariposa.

Not the Luxury that we Expected

Luxury. A simple word used by the property owners to describe the experience. A simple word that raised our expectations about what we would find at the home. It is from this perspective that we share these insights: Upon our arrival, we met the local property manager. He was either checking up on or installing an additional refrigerator because the home's kitchen fridge was not working. It was clear at that time that this fridge was very noisy, but there were no alternatives; loud fridge or no cold food. We were pleased that the situation was addressed before we arrived. Not until the property manager left was it obvious that the noise of the new fridge was so loud that it blocked out the ocean sounds. The home was advertised as air conditioned. However, upon reading the welcome notes we found that the a/c units must be set at 28 Celsius (82 Fahrenheit) or higher. That's pretty warm. We were a group of four adults. We intended to spend time around the pool. To do so, some pool chairs were required. There were only 2 rotting lounges at the pool (not 6 shown in the pictures). Additionally, the beautiful hammock pictured on the homeaway site was not there. Outside Jacuzzi: According to housekeeper, it will work for about 4 minutes, so we did not attempt to turn in on. Kitchen: The property manager suggested that we don't use the dishwasher as it doesn't rinse the soap off the plates. Clothes Washer: Not sure if there is a problem with the washer or the way it is designed, but water needs to be added "by hand." Not a big deal since the housekeeper volunteered to run a few loads for us. The refrigerator, lounge chairs, and hammock issues were addressed by the property owners a few days after we sent them an email explaining the situation. We didn't mind the delay as time moves slower in Nicaragua. Our concern is that the home we experienced was quite different than the home as described on homeaway. It is unlikely that we would recommend this home to others. If our review does not dissuade you then make sure that the home and the description are one and the same. Playa el Coco is a great beach, it was deserted while we were there; there are 2 restaurants on the beach and a little shop nearby. Do your shopping in San Juan del Sur. The house is a 5 minute walk to the beach; beware, the walk back is up a steep hill. If you are old or out-of-shape you might prefer to take your car down to the beach.

Way over-priced

I would love to tell you all the details about why I believe this place is extremely over-priced, but I don't want to bore you. I will say, it is somewhat far from the beach, a bit of a hike. You can rent a clean and modern house in Rancho Santana or Iguana, right on the beach, for half the price. This house has a limit on electricity usage, so don't use the air conditioning units too much or you will be charged. The beds are extremely uncomfortable and towels are stiff. If you like privacy, this is not your place. Although Fredise is very nice, he is always there cleaning the pool and sweeping around it. I appreciate cleanliness, but I also appreciate privacy. It would have been nice if the house was as clean as the pool area. Twice we came back from the beach and our stuff looked like someone had rummaged through it. It really didn't bother me because I have nothing of value; what bothered me more, was the house wasn't clean. If you are going to go through our belongings, the least you can do is clean the dishes and the bathroom floors. I don't want to make this place sound horrible because it wasn't. I just know you can get more for your money.

COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER!

We spent two weeks at Casa Mariposa in February 2012. There were two families of four and the house provided plenty of space. The view and setting are AMAZING! The house is located on the top of a small hill and the walk to the beach takes only a few minutes. We had a great time playing in the pool, which was quite large for a single family home. The pool deck was in the sun all day, but the outside sitting area provided shade if it was needed. The beach was beautiful and rarely had more than five people on it. The waves were gentle and the kids (ages 9 and 6) had no problems wading out as there were no rocks. Freddis, the caretaker, was a true gem. He worked so hard, even when no one was looking. He was a great cook and was very patient with us when we tried to speak Spanish to him (he does not speak much English). The house is about 45 minutes from San Juan Del Sur so we were not able to do many day trips to other areas. Because of this we had some great adventures near by and did more relaxing than we would have done otherwise. There was a small store at the base of the hill which provided most of what we needed. The kitchen of the house was perfect for eating in for most meals. The owners were VERY helpful when we were planning our trip and were always quick to respond to any questions. All in all Casa Mariposa provided an unforgettable vacation for both families and enough memories to last a lifetime.

Beautiful home in a very relaxing setting

Our family of five really relaxed at this lovely home and infinity pool perched above a beautiful and quiet beach. The enclave of Playa el Coco is serene, friendly and setoff down a rugged road from the touristy crowded town of San Juan del Sur. We loved it here. Jeanne's care and exceptional decorating made this home and pool an easy and relaxing place to be. It is beautiful with wonderful touches. Our agenda was reading, swimming and enjoying time together as a family - - this was perfect. Our big excitement the week we were there was a scheduled lengthy family horseback ride and a baby turtle release on the beach. The owners and housekeeper made it an easy and enjoyable process from inquiry to leave taking. We heartily recommend this property.

AMAZING

We spent our honeymoon at Casa Mariposa and it was absolutely perfect! The house is obviously beautiful, but is also extremely comfortable and convenient. The pool is awesome as we spent most of our time in the pool looking out over the ocean. The beach was just a quick drive down the hill by truck, and under a five minute walk. Playa el Coco is beautiful; it's clean, peaceful, and was always empty. We rented a four-wheel drive truck for the week that we were there. Four-wheel drive wasn't necessarily needed, but it was nice to have. The road to the house is quite bumpy and we crossed a few rivers. It's approximately a 35 minute drive to the house but the scenery is well worth the drive. There is a little local store, and two restaurants with bars located at Coco so it was perfect when we ran out of rum and Coke or didn't feel like cooking. We also drove to the little town south of Coco, Ostional, to buy fresh lobster tails. This is the perfect house if you want to feel away from everything and enjoy a peaceful vacation. There is a housekeeper on-site and he is AMAZING. He came in everyday to clean the house and was always available when we needed him or needed something. He also grilled our lobster tails for us. The owners were also very helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this vacation home, and we are dreaming of our next vacation to Casa Mariposa with family and friends.
