About this property

FOREST VIEW AND OCEANFRONT VIEW - SEVERAL OUTDOOR SPACES - DIRECT BEACH ACCESS

Villa Caracol has a very private 7 m pool with infinity view to the forest at the famous Playa Maderas. From the front side of the villa you have as well a view to the rock, waves and the sand in the small bay closest to the rock. An amazing view from a small terrace in shade under trees and surrounded by romantic garden as well. Or use your direct private access to the beach. Retire in high privacy at a great pool area with grass and fruit trees – and change to the ocean view side as you like. Stable wifi for many devices. 24/7 security. Perfect for families or friends seeking a blend of modern comfort, service staff and peacefulness to enjoy all elements of nature. All beds can be single or for couples. Inside Villas Playa Maderas - just a turn of the costal highway - in to paradise.

Spaces around the villa:
The villa has a very special privacy around the pool to the forest side, which also has good shade and tranquility. This includes a big dining area with a water fall and lights in different colors and a grill area as well. Also a grass area for deck chairs.

On the front porch there is an ocean view – and a dining space outside the kitchen in shade – a set of chairs with a small round table - and a hammock. Further is a small terrace under shady trees with tropic garden and chairs from where you can watch Maderas Rock as well as the white sandy beach and the waves rolling to the beach in the small bay closest to the rock.

About food during your stay:
You have an outdoor grill and a fully equipped kitchen including a stove with owen, microwave, refrigerator with small freezer, coffemaker, kettle, toaster, blender and what else you need. Remember to buy the food you need in 1 of the 2 local supermarkets "Ahora Mas" or "Pali" on your way to your villa. You can find them on Google maps - as well as our destination "Villas Playa Maderas".

You can go to 4 restaurants at the beach or get quick delivery from restaurants in town. You have any freedom to cook and organize this as you want – and the staff always online can as an extra service help cook any type of meal or diet for you. You have a lot of options anytime you like.

Other restaurants in the remote maderas area are Hush, Espejo, Machete Market Cafe and Mango Rosa among others. In San Juan del Sur you might try one of the beachfront restaurants and maybe have some seafood - or find one of the other restaurants in town.

Traveling with kids:
It is normal to bring kids, including small kids and babies. We have a high chair and a cradle. We have family games for outside as well as inside. And you can go on a monkey trip. Pool stairs has an area for small kids. And the pool has shade in the afternoon.

Temperature can be regulated with a/c in bedroooms and movable fans and the breeze as well as shaded and fresh areas.

Family games:
We are focusing on how a family can have some fun to do except the pool. So you can play mini american soccer or mini european football at the green turf in front of the outdoor gym or jungle gym as we like to call it. Ask the staff to bring the stuff for you. We also have bocce.

Also you find fun games like cornhole/juego de mais, mini jenga and mega jenga, outdoor domino, hit the racoons, and different toss games with rings and ladder golf or jungle golf as we call it here.

Games for your villa:
Right now we have Twister, Monopoly and Uno, Checkers, Chess, Memory, Domino for small kids. Any other suggestion let us know and we might have if you visit.

Access to our forest trails and the beach:
You can find signs showing the trails "Mono Congo" and "Mapache" and our staff can explain. The Mapache (racoon) trail is also the easiest way to get to the 3 villas on the other side of the ravine. On each side of the small forest ravine going to the sea are 3 rental villas. Each side has its own private beach access.

Wildlife:
On our property you can find the black "Mono Congo” monkeys and maybe also a sloth and a variation of birds and butterflyes. A staff member can help you find the monkeys if the are not coming close to your house.

Staff:
Always online, 24 hour security and housekeeping, kitchen staff on request. Daily cleaning is included. Staff is discreete but always close. Very flexible and personalized services. Tell us what you need.

Wellness:
If you like to order a private massage or other kind of wellness at your villa it is possible through our contacts. We have yoga spaces and equipment and private yoga teacher is also possible. Also we have an outdoor gym. If a surf interest then just go down to the beach – and rent a surf board or a boogie board - and there are also surf instructors.

San Juan del Sur area:
If you are looking for any special type of activity in the San Juan del Sur area you can ask our staff for advice.

As you can see here is a lot to do for a family and therefore you might consider a stay here as a perfect base for a holiday in southern Nicaragua - close to the higway - where you each day might be back in this special peaceful kind of paradise before 6 pm so you can enjoy another sunset.

Transportation and parking:
The Villa has private parking right next to it. You can also arrive by taxi – as well as go by taxi when you want. Or try the very local truck bus. We can also help arrange transportation directly from airport.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

A week in paradise

The team at the villas were very kind, attentive and were in communication with us throughout our stay. We loved the place so much. It is like being in paradise. We spent a lot of time at the pool. Watching the sunset. Its off the beaten path but worth the travel to get to it and they even started a fire in the grill for us to cook some chicken.We will definitely be back and are very grateful to Wilfredo, Justa and their whole team for their help!

Forest and Ocean Front View

This is a beautiful location high on the hill overlooking the Pacific with backyard pool surrounded by forest. The continuous sound of the surf and tropical birds was not drowned out by the Howler Monkeys even though they tried. These amazing Howlers and birds woke me each morning and could be heard throughout the day. The pool is nice size and sparkling. I’m 66 years old and not as athletic as I once was but had no problem navigating my way down and up from the beach. The nearby restaurant/bars on the beach were fairly easy for me to access across the beach and rocks. The host put me in touch with transportation I used to and from MGA and to visit Ometepe Island for the day. It is less than one hour from the house to the port to catch the ferry. Once there I rented an ATV and visited Ojo De Agua. I arranged several trips to SJDS where I went deep sea fishing catching two very nice Dorado and a catch-and-release sailfish the captain estimated to be 10 feet long. Read the reviews on FishingBooker and you’ll know who to hire. I’m glad I hired transportation that took the stress off of me after my late arrival to MGA. While having my own 4x4 would have been best in some respects, the total cost of a rental for 7 days would have been slightly higher considering the cost of diesel. I can’t imagine driving anything but a 4x4 due to steep inclines and muddy roads. I encountered no problem that was not quickly addressed. Thank you for letting me visit your home.

About the host

Hosted by Dan Oestergaard

Host profile image
After taking a break in renting on Vrbo I finally decided personally as the owner to enjoy hosting here as I love this contact and guiding you. We are Villas Playa Maderas and have many guests and the staff is very experienced in hosting – and can help you with what you ask for.

I have enjoyed Nicaragua partially for 20 years and can help you arrange what you would like to do here. I love the nature, the beaches, the culture and the lifestyle here and the villa reflects this original nicaraguan lifestyle - and combined with the surrounding and the amazing views this is a unique experience of some of the best of Nicaragua. I love to share this place.

Why they chose this property

It is very special along the coast to be 30 m above ocean level to enjoy amazing views and at the same time have direct private beach access to a white sandy beach with restaurants and a local vibe. And also at the same time to in the edge of a forest with trails and howler monkeys.

Playa Maderas is a social beach still with an original nicaraguan vibe. You can go to rustic restaurants on both sides - swim - surf - ride a horse - or just lay back and enjoy the sun. Our villa is beachfront with the best location, in the edge of a forest with trails and howler monkeys. And the location has some of the best views in Nicaragua – including the view to Maderas Rock.

What makes this property unique

For a kind of family adventure inside the property there is a lot to do. We have a gym, and obstacle course and a turf area for excercises and games like hockey, european or american football.
You can also play several games with your kids at the games area or take the games to your villa.

We are very family friendly. You are very well organized with 24/7 security, a/c, great wifi for many devices, service staff. And at the same time you have this kind of adventure with activities inside the property including hiking and monkeys. You have pool and direct beach access. and can go surf or take surf lessons at the beach. Bonfire and horseback riding is also popular there.

There are many possiblities for doing things together - and combine it with each of you can do some of your own. Private massage and pedicure, yoga lessons, private fitness trainer are also options.

A perfect family base where you easily can keep your kids occupied. And feel like home – and on an adventure at the same time.
