Beachfront Villa - Playa Coco (near San Juan del Sur)
The property is situated directly on the Pacific coast with a beautiful white sand beach called Playa Coco spanning nearly one mile directly in front of your Villa. Playa Coco is one of the most spectacular beaches in Nicaragua.
This property is exactly what you need to unwind on a secluded beach! Your spacious 2000+ square foot luxury Villa offers unparalleled proximity to a world class beach - and it is an END UNIT with the most natural light within this small development. Only local materials were used to produce this magnificent place, which gives it a unique feel that sets it apart from many other vacation homes in Nicaragua. The furniture is made from local wood and custom made. The unit comes fully furnished with all the amenities you could want, including a flat panel LCD TV (recently upgraded to 55"), Satellite TV, superior sound system, wireless internet connections, fully stocked kitchen and more!
The rooftop deck, master bedroom deck and living room patio are all facing the beach so you can enjoy the sun setting on the Pacific Ocean while you reflect on the natural beauty of Playa Coco. Local trees provide natural shade during the day and privacy. You will find that with the onsite pool and the ocean literally steps away from the front door, you won’t want to leave this tranquilo life!
If you choose to venture outside of your Villa, the most popular tourist destination in Nicaragua is just 25 minutes to the north - San Juan del Sur. In SJdS, you will find many shops, great restaurants, and a mix of locals and tourists enjoying the town. Closer to your Villa is The Wildlife Reserve La Flor where you can see Olive Ridley turtles. If you come at the right time, you can witness thousands of turtles laying eggs, or better yet - newly hatched turtles crawling back to the ocean! You will also find that some turtles use Playa Coco as their local grounds.
We were one of the first ones to own in Playa Coco and have steadily improved our casa throughout the years. We take meticulous care of our place and this will show during your stay. We come down once or twice a year and have also observed the steady improvement in the beautiful grounds in and around Playa Coco. Enjoy your stay!

Great place to Be Alone and Zen Out
The pictures accurately represent the space. The house is nicely appointed and Playa coco is a beautiful beach with few visitors.
Dave’s instructions on bringing in food are necessary as there simply isn’t anything nearby. We had brought in food expecting to have the housekeeper cook for us only to find out she was on vacation. The local restaurant was also closed, which meant we needed to drive 40ish mins to SJDS to eat. Annoying, but a small price to pay to enjoy the beautiful house and beaches.
As noted in other reviews, the road often has animals, pedestrians, and motor bikes and is only paved 1/3 of the way and grated the remaining 2/3. If there’s no rain, a small sedan could do the trip. If it’s raining, I’d definitely want the 4x4 to navigate some of the roads.
The internet is 5 d/1.5 u, so it’s just barely enough for zoom. If you need to work remotely, this probably isn’t the place for you as Claro and Tigo cell service is also kind of sketchy.
The security roams the grounds periodically and were helpful with luggage, opening the gate, and even helping light the stove. We felt safe our entire stay. Note that no one speaks English. We got by with apps, but Spanish helps a lot around here.
5 star stay for the house, location and beach. No negative feedback, just some notes to ensure others have a great stay here too by knowing what to expect.
The turtles at la Flor are a 10 min drive so no need to take a tour for this.

Beautiful place
Great experience. Beachfront paradise. My only feedback is they should have a booklet with all information for guests upon arrival: wifi code, TV instructions, things to do, where to buy fish, how to hire a cook, etc etc. We speak Spanish and can figure it out by asking but any non Spanish speaker would be lost! Otherwise a terrific experience and we all be back!

Definitely the Best Place to Stay in Coco!
We stay at Dave's condominium twice a year and always have a wonderful time. Even in July when they get some rain the place is delightful, relaxing and fun. There are turtles hatching down the beach, the waves are perfect for kids and adults and the pool is almost never occupied. Nicaragua is very safe and the people are friendly and welcoming. We will keep coming back and highly recommend it. Dave is very easy to deal with and the staff at the condos are great as well. Ask Veronica to cook for you!

We Love this Place, definitely stay here if you are coming to Coco!
We have stayed here at least two times a year for the last five years and we wouldn't go anywhere else. The beach is beautiful and virtually deserted so you feel like you are at an exclusive resort. All the staff couldn't be more friendly and attentive and you feel completely safe. There are turtles laying eggs on the beach and a nursery at the end of the beach where they release babies. A great place for kids and adults alike! Make sure you ask Veronica to cook for you, she is a great cook!

Beautiful beach and abode
Staying in this beachfront property on Playa Coco was certainly a treat and definitely the highlight of our family's trip to Nicaragua! We absolutely loved it! The house is clean, spacious, and very comfortable for a family of six. The complex has a pool that is very well kept and the grounds are beautifully maintained as well. The beach is secluded and peaceful, featuring amazing waves that are perfect for playing around in, surfing, and boogie boarding. The beach is adorned with a variety of beautiful sea shells that are fun to look for and the sunsets are absolutely breath taking! This rental is great for a couple's retreat or for the whole family!
