Altos De Colorado-8000 sq ft Beachfront Luxury Surfing Estate

Altos de Colorado is a brand new luxuriously appointed estate located on the sand in the guard-gated golf course community of Hacienda Iguana, just west of Tola, Nicaragua. Altos de Colorado boasts 8000 square feet of living space on over a third acre of beachfront property.

This luxury estate has 5 bedrooms (2 Master) and 5 1/2 baths and has one of the largest private pools on the beach in all of Hacienda Iguana. The house is directly in front of the world class surf break Playa Colorados, and a 5 minute sand walk south of Ponga Drops, another world-class surf break. The house comfortably sleeps 12 people in 5 bedrooms (one of which is a very private 'honeymoon' casita), each with their own beautiful custom cabinetry and granite counters with beautiful stone sinks. As stated before, two of the bedrooms are master suites... each with it's own full size bathtub, one of which is a jacuzzi tub! Both Master Suites have views of the surf while just lying in your king size bed! Each of the other bedrooms has Twin XL beds which may be pushed together to make one king size bed. These additional bedrooms have there own walk-in closets with built-ins for plenty of storage. All bedrooms are independently A/C cooled for maximum comfort and energy efficiency, and are conveniently located on the main floor for a quick exit to the surf and sand! On the second floor is a beautifully appointed large kitchen with oversized island food preparation area, a dining tables both inside and outside (on the second floor veranda) large enough for place settings for fourteen, and a very large second floor patio with a 36 inch wide built-in gas BBQ perfect for parties overlooking the surf firing off from either Colorados or Ponga Drops!

The upstairs and downstairs living rooms are equipped with large screen TV's and Blu-Ray/DVD players. There are also 40-inch WiFi Smart TV's in each of the master bedrooms with Blu-Ray DVD players available for each TV as well. Netflix can be streamed on each TV.

The third floor observation deck has unprecedented views over all of Hacienda Iguana from Colorados up to Ponga Drops and Los Perros/Rancho Santana...perfect for surf/landscape photography...or just hanging out to check the surf, watch beautiful sunsets, whatever!

Altos de Colorado also has high speed internet throughout the house, and a whole-house back-up generator and to obviate any potential power outage.

Our property manager is a home-owner in our community as well, so he and his staff will attend to your every need 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Arrangements can be made for catering and transportation/excursions in advance or on a whim. All of the comforts of home on one of most beautiful beaches in all of Nicaragua!

Altos de Colorado also offers membership access to our private golf course. This 9 hole course is quite challenging and uncrowded, offering tee times pretty much whenever you want.

Also included with your stay is full access to the exclusive Community Beach Club just a 3 minute sand walk south of the house. This Beach Club is a wonderful place to have lunch and relax with friends, or have a dunk in the pool and play volleyball, or just watch the surf fire off at Colorados!

Also within the community is Don Eloys Restaurant, a great place to hang out with your friends for lunch or dinner and swap stories, or relax at the bar with beer and watch sporting events on their big screen TV. There are a handful of other great restaurants that are accessible by car, taxi, boat, or a nice hike to a small fishing village. A sunset dinner at Rancho Santana, our sister development to the south, is a must! As always you'll find beautiful sunset views from any beach on the beautiful west coast of Nicaragua!

Beach Trip
My friends and I very much our stay at the house, the house was very clean as well as all the amenities, including the pool. The property manager was also very helpful, the refrigerator was not working properly and within a few hours he had arranged for a new one to be delivered. I would highly recommend this house to any one looking to visit the coast and do some surfing or just beach lounging.

Incredible surf getaway
If you’re a surfer, then there is nothing better than this VRBO. It is right on an incredible break and a beautiful beach. My friends and I stayed there and had a complete blast. In fact, one of the days we were there was probably one of the most beautiful days of our lives. The waves were pristine and the sunset was magnificent. David, the property manager, helped us whenever we needed anything. Daniel, the owner, was very helpful as well. Finally, get the catering! The chef is absolutely awesome! Cannot recommend this place enough!

Best location in Playa Colorados!
The most ideal location for guests who surf! We could watch our husbands and kids from the perfect pool and all the decks. We scored with waves and it was difficult to not just lay in the pool and watch! The house is a great size for two families (10 guests) with lots of public space and the bedrooms are spacious enough to hang out in with well working AC. The staff are attentive and kind! We will definitely be coming back to this home in the future!

Best VRBO we’ve ever stayed at!
This property is amazing. It’s immaculately kept and the staff that works at the house is amazing. Great surfing out front and plenty of activities for my family. We can’t say enough good things about the property.

Surf Trip
We had a boys surf trip for a total of 7 who all stayed at the house. Even with that many people we were all still very comfortable. The location of the house right in front of Colorados was absolutely perfect. You can walk down the steps from the backyard right onto the sand and waking a few steps to the ocean. You can’t get any better than that if you’re a surfer or love the ocean. The food from the chefs/maids was some of the best food i have ever had. I will be coming back to this house for many years to come. Also a shoutout to Matteo who was our surf guide/manager who took care of all our needs. 5 stars all around.

The house is beautiful and exactly as advertised. The daily service was an added bonus. The location is perfect. The best spot on the Colorado beach. The only negatives were the poor WiFi service and lots of creatures (bugs).

Beautiful house. Great location.
Property is exactly as pictured. Maybe better if that's possible. Property is very clean and well-maintained . Staff was amazing. They prepared great food and the cleaning staff was always present. Ownership and management were very helpful. And quick with the security deposit refund. The drive from the airport could be long if you have kids but once there it's amazing. It is in an isolated location with limited restaurants and attractions. But excursions can be setup easily through the management group. I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone.

Paradise!
It takes your breath away when you enter the lst floor of the house and look out to the pool and ocean beyond! We loved everything about staying here and are already planning next year's trip. We were a group of 8 and used all 5 bedrooms (one of which is a garage apartment out front). The four bedrooms are on the ground floor with a living area downstairs in addition to the large great room upstairs which is kitchen, dining, and living combined. Each bedroom has its own bath and the two larger bedrooms have incredible ocean views from bed. We felt totally safe at the house - never even had a key and never locked the house. There was always staff on the property - a guard at night and housekeeper during the day. The team from NIca365 were terrific and took great care of us... whatever we needed they provided. I highly recommend having them cook meals for you. We had massages two days and did two side trips. Granada is a little far for a day trip. Wish we had stopped for a night there on our way in rather than take a day away from this great house to go... We cancelled our day trip to Imotepe because none of us wanted to leave again. Our afternoon outing to Rivas was fun and just a few hours. We saw a turtle lay eggs right in front of the house and there were monkeys in the trees one morning. Lots of birds. A house is under construction next door so the house is not quite as private as it appears on google earth but still fine. A great beach - only one surfer in our group - but the rest of us loved boogie boarding, body surfing, playing in the warm ocean, and walking the beach.

Surf honeymoon paradise in Nicaragua!!
Where do I begin and where do I stop talking about how amazing this place is?!?!?! Communication with the owners was simple and while in Nicaragua, Dave the property manager took excellent care of us. We stayed at the house (okay it's really a surf mansion) for 5 days for our honeymoon. We couldn't think of a better place to stay. My husband would wake up early, surf Colorado barreling steps from the house, then I'd wake up for fresh brewed coffee and Gisela cooking this insane breakfast for us. We'd then go for a walk and explore the basically deserted beach right out front or swim in the infinity pool. Daily the house is being tended to and kept immaculate. There is also security 24 hours a day. The first night we were sitting out when we actually saw the guard walking around the property with a flashlight, so we felt even more safe than we did within Hacienda Iguana. Gisela also cooked us dinner which was absolutely amazing - chicken, fish, shrimp, lobster! The best meals we had in Nicaragua. Panga Drop, another surf break is a little further north up the beach as well along with another break further up closer to the rocks (can't remember the name of the break). So perfect to have 3 places to surf within right outside the most epic house on the beach. Oh and at night, go to the 3rd floor observation deck and check out the stars - insane. I've never seen so many! We can't wait to visit again. We will definitely come back, but I don't think we'll be allowed to come alone, all of our friends said they are coming with us next time. Whether coming for a surf trip or a surf honeymoon, Altos De Colorado will blow your mind!
