Enchanted Monkey House with Breathtaking Ocean Views

Perched 100 feet above the Pacific coast, Casa de Mono Encantado is a brand new (March 2015) luxury villa built by Will Pattison in the desirable Paradise Bay gated community, with magnificent ocean views, semi-private beach access and continuous, soothing sounds of crashing waves.

If you are searching for tranquil serenity, you’ll find our House of the Enchanted Monkey offers everything -- with unending ocean views, gentle breezes year round, lounging and sunning by the infinity pool with a covered swim up bar and outside grill, whale watching (seasonal) from the top floor balcony or pool, or observation of local howler monkeys, iguanas and parrots.

The house design is elegant and contemporary, with oriental hints and traditional finishes throughout. Kitchen and bathroom countertops are quarried from various beautiful Honduran granites and local onyx. The house boasts three expansive king size bedrooms with full baths, rich handmade wooden doors, cabinets and furniture, stunning stainless steel and wrought iron railings, an assortment of original cubist paintings from Romanian painter Iov and others throughout, plus an array of modern appliances and kitchenware that is probably unsurpassed in the San Juan del Sur area, should your desires move you to cook or create your favorite liquid refreshments.

If you have a sense of exploration, take a short 150 foot hike to the pebble beach surrounding Paradise Bay to search for sea shells, venture to the small sandy beach 200 feet further, swim in the crystal clear waters of the Pacific, hike through secluded jungle wilderness or attempt to scale the big monkey. Snorkel for lobster, octopus or other delicious sea creatures if you are truly adventurous. We have eaten several sea critters right there in the water, but have also prepared delicious octopus soup, fish tacos and some of the most delicious ceviche we have ever tasted.

You will have no choice but to relax and be indulged in these luxurious surroundings. You will feel safe and protected with 24-hour on-site caretakers and full security system. This private paradise is at your footsteps, but you are still only one mile from the restaurants and night life in San Juan del Sur. We think you will agree that Casa de Mono Encantado offers a mix of solitude, tranquility and natural amenities that is unparalleled in San Jan del Sur.

Everything you hope it will be!
This was our first trip to Nicarauga and although we've spent lots of time in other countries throughout Central America, we weren't sure what to expect. All I can say is absolutely believe all of the wonderful reviews. This house, this property, the cuidadors, and SJDS are absolutely magical. The house is one of the nicest VRBO's we've ever stayed in. (And by far the best value!!) Spotlessly clean, beautiful, and had literally everything we needed for our week long stay. The cuidadors also helped to make the experience flawless (they even humored my feeble attempts at conversational spanish). The pool is the perfect size and the outdoor area was wonderful for enjoying the indescribably beautiful view and amenities. The house is close enough to town that it feels easy to pop in for food, shopping, or services, but far enough away that you you feel like you're in your own private beach resort. The instructions aren't lying though when they say you need a good vehicle. We were there in the dry season and still wouldn't have wanted to be without our 4x4 SUV. The owners were also great with communication and sent tons of helpful information prior to our trip. Last thing - while traveling in Central America is certainly a very different experience than say, an all inclusive in Cabo or Waikiki, our whole family agreed that SJDS is the safest we've ever felt anywhere in CA. We had the time of our lives and can't wait to go back!

Fun in the Sun!
Our stay was excellent, the upper deck was the spot to watch the sun set. The Ocean view was ever changing, we even spotted some whale spouts even though we did not see them, and it was exciting to see. While our stay was great, there were plenty of spaces to sit, yet no place to relax meaning, lay back to read a book! (Sorry I have had skin cancer so sun is not my friend.) The house was spacious, nicely planned, decorated, very privately located and an easy drive into town. We did have Yubran, cook a fabulous meal for us! Yubran cared for the wonderful grounds and pool was kept perfect (we never saw him) yet always available to answer our silly questions. Yuban’s English was by far better than our attempt at Spanish. Yubran made us feel very safe, if he was on days off he made sure he had someone there for us. We would defiantly recommend this home!

SJDS May Trip
The house is beautiful, amazing view, great location and outstanding local service by Yubran the property caretaker. Yubran made our stay pleasant. He cooked a few authentic Nicaraguan meals for us for a price not included in the rental fee. He provided excellent and superb service. The house has breathtaking views. We walked down to the pebble beach. We spent most of our stay at SJDS on tours across Nicaragua. Therefore, we did not enjoy the house to the fullest. The one thing we would do different is spend more time at the house. Our first night, the AC in one room was not working. The AC was fixed and replaced the next day upon notifying the property caretaker. The house states max occupancy up to 8 guests. The house has 3 bedrooms which accommodate 6 people/guests comfortably in air-conditioned rooms (two guests per room). Two guests can sleep in the living room for a total of 8 guests. It is noteworthy to mention the living room does not have AC and it does get warm/hot. You are in San Juan Del Sur and the weather is warm. The service and hospitality rendered by Yubran “caretaker” is one of the main reasons we will come back to this amazing house. Through the booking process Dan the owner was extremely responsive and provided detailed information relevant to our stay.

Lovely home
We enjoyed the hospitality of this vacation home which is located in a safe, gated community. The kids loved the infinity pool and we enjoyed the outdoor rocking chairs. The caretaker, Yubran, is a spetacular chef and did a great job of shopping for us. We enjoyed trips into town, lunches at Play Hermosa and Tree Casa. We took a day trip to see Granada and the Volcanos. It was a wonderful vacation for our family and we hope to get back there some day. I definitely recommend travel to San Juan del Sur and a stay at this home, Casa de Mono Encantado.

Beyond expectations!!
First off, just want to say, Dan & Donna’s place is so beautiful! One of the most beautiful places we’ve ever stayed at! (& we’ve stayed at different places in Costa Rica, Jamaica, puerto rico, Mexico, Peru)The view from the infinity pool with drink in hand was amazing! You definitely have to go down the stairs to rocks & beach below & enjoy all what nature has to offer! Went into San Juan del sur for a couple of dinners (which were good) but honestly, our best meals were prepared by Yubran the friendly & kind caretaker. (& we got him to join us for one of them. He was so nice!) Each room was beautiful, all beds were comfortable kings. Kitchen was stocked with everything you would need, including a cooler that we used on our daily excursions. The wind was crazy there some times, even at night. Not sure if that’s normal or not. There are some pretty steep roads getting to the villa, but we were able to do it in a “short bus”, except the night it rained & then got stuck trying to get up a hill & so walked up the last hill to the villa. Pride of ownership is apparent in this house! We loved looking through their photo book on the whole building process. & we loved when Willy the dog came over for rubs or to join us on our walks! This place is definitely value for money, was nicer than we even imagined & we were so happy to have found it on Vrbo!

Thank you for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful home! The house is beautiful, the view is stunning. Yubran was always friendly and helpful, and your suggestion for Gaby Transport was much appreciated! Richard was super friendly and gave us some contacts (Mario for fishing, Rudolfo as a tour guide in Granada) that really enhanced our experience. We loved, loved, LOVED the pool and spent many evenings out there. Sadly, we only saw 2 sunsets that weren't impeded by clouds, but it was lovely nevertheless. Thank you for allowing us to spend our vacation in your home!

What a trip
We had the most amazing time in Nicaragua. The amt of things to do were endless and the people were amazing. We loved the Enchanted Money House and everything it had to offer. Yubran and Yolanda made our time care free and so pleasurable. My husband and I work long hard hours so we really needed this vacation to vacate. Yubran really made that happen for us by cooking such wonderful meals, even food my daughter would not eat prior to visiting!!! That was a score in and of its self. Yolonda was a champ by doing our laundry so I would not have to worry about doing it when we got back. I highly recommend staying here. Everything was carefree and easy, also the view didn't stink lol! We hope to visit again soon to visit. We loved the people and truly loved the home

We absolutely loved staying at Casa de Mono Encantando The house itself is stunning with a welcoming 2nd story porch and infinity pool both overlooking the ocean and Gorilla Head rock. The surrounding landscape further adds to the beauty. There are steps down to the ocean and a where you can access a beach as well. The location is absolutely perfect. No spoiled views and surprisingly only a couple minutes from town, talk about best of both worlds. The caretakers were fantastic and very helpful. Heck of a chef as well. We would return to Casa de Mono Encantando in a heartbeat !

Sadly, we were not able to go on our trip to this beautiful home because our daughter tested positive for Covid. We were very disappointed, but have rescheduled and are counting the days down (again) until we can go. Dan was so gracious and accommodating for us. He gave us the option to reschedule or be refunded even though we got her results just days before we were to have arrived. We also found him very responsive to messages and helpful with our questions leading up to the expected trip. Thanks Dan! We are so excited to spend our vacation at your beautiful home.

Piece of Paradise
Absolutely loved every second spent at this beautiful home. The views and ocean crashing below are some of the best I’ve ever witnessed at a rental. They took great care to make sure you have everything you need. Very well appointed kitchen too. The master bed feels like you’re sleeping in a cloud and when you wake up to those views, you feel like you are in heaven. Yubran is a killer chef, so make sure you ask him to cook for your group a few nights. He rivals any restaurant in San Juan. Town is nearby if you need anything as long as you have a 4x4 which doesn’t come cheap… that’s about the only negative in my opinion and it’s certainly not the hosts fault. Hoping to stay here again in the near future. Don’t hesitate to book! Also, might be one of the quieter spots near SJDS too which is a HUGE PLUS!! 10/10

Breath taking views
This property is absolutely amazing and it is quite obvious the owners were very meticulous with every detail while they crafted this incredible home. From the views looking out from the amazing Infinity Pool and bar to the fantastic set up of the interior of the house. This place was meant to accommodate 3 adult couples with ease. The support staff was friendly and very accommodating and even cooked us an authentic local meal on our last evening. The only difficult part of the trip was the hyper inflated cab rides to and from town costing on average $15-20 USD each direction. This is due to the very difficult 2km hike Into town, with a hill or two that are quite difficult for most taxi cars. Would recommend renting a side by side or 4x4 truck if staying here.

Get staycation for our family during Covid 19. House was perfect for us! Home away from home!
We had an amazing little vacation during Covid 19. We live in country and needed a getaway. This house was perfect for us. We were 4 adults, a teen and a tween. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The House is beautifully decorated, but very conducive to making you feel at home. We enjoyed the pool everyday as well, as some walked down to enjoy the rocky beach. Such beautiful scenery. We ate all our meals at the house in the fully stocked kitchen. The staff is always available and very willing to help. There is a beautiful terrace to enjoy our morning coffee or afternoons just chatting. The owners and manager were quick to respond for any questions and concerns. We ended our trip driving to Playa La Flor where we were able to help release baby Turtles back into the ocean. An unforgettable experience for an unforgettable trip. We can’t wait to go back!

What an AMAZING place to stay for a week in San Juan Del Sur! Gorgeous House with a beautiful beach!
This property was one of the nicest homes we've ever stayed ANYWHERE, let alone in central America. Let me start with the bed: they rival any Beautyrest and it wouldn't surprise me if they are Beautyrest mattresses. The beds are TRUE king beds (not 2 twins pushed together). I normally sleep about 5 hours per night, but this bed had me sleeping 7-8 hours every night. The VIEWS! If you are an avid outdoor photographer or just love to wake up to amazing views, this place has it in spades. Gorgeous views from the house balcony, both the Master Suite and the kitchen/great room as well as the two lower bedrooms and the pool. The beautiful POOL was kept IMMACULATE by the wonderfully thoughtful cuidor (sp?), Jubron---the young man who was the caretaker of the home. It was a beautiful infinity edge overlooking Gorilla Rock! The design of the outdoor living space is phenomenal and very user-friendly, including a swim-up bar and a grill. We cooked most nights and on one of our last two nights, Jubron (sp?) actually came over to the house and made a lobster and shrimp dinner for minimal including clean-up! He went to go and get all the seafood that day (about 2 lbs of shrimp and 3 lbs of lobster) as well as side items and as soon as we arrived back from our excursion to Ometepe, he was cooking that fresh seafood. The BEACH! You walk down a series of well thought out steps (wear comfortable water shoes with thicker soles) from the top floor down to an incredibly beautiful beach that is essentially private. There are perhaps 3 other houses around the cove that may utilize it too, but on the 3 days we played on it, we had it to ourselves! I went snorkeling all 3 times and saw different species of fish, including puffers. Visibility was only about 15-20 ft, but it was still a joy to take underwater photos that were enabled from a beach entrance because we were in a cove. The other 2 days we went to two other beaches: Playa Madera, a great surf beach with surf schools, and Playa Hermosa ($3 entrance fee, but well worth it); a child-friendly beach which was wonderful because you had a cabana (no charge for its use as long as you're ordering drinks and/or food). The prices of food, drinks, and beer were very reasonable: about $1.50 for a beer and my wife had mojitos for about $4.00. Safety: The cuidors place is a separate structure near the entrance of the house and we always felt very safe. We never felt unsafe anywhere we went around San Juan Del Sur.

Paradise !
This house is amazing, pictures are spot on and as described. The rooms are large, the house is spotless, the pool and view are amazing. The walk to the beach is a must do and we did it daily. We loved sitting on the deck listening to the ocean, sitting at the swim up bar enjoying the view, and watching the sunset from the beach. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed for preparing meals, the outdoor grill is large enough to cook for a large group, and the fridge in the swim up is an added convience. Our two week stay was not long enough! We enjoyed every minute of it and would go back again. The caretakers are wonderful, and take excellent care of the house and grounds. The location of the house made for a peaceful and secluded trip away from town but still close enough to stores, beaches, and restaurants. All of our questions during the booking process, before our stay, and during our stay were answered in a timely manner. There is a book on the counter with all kinds of information about the house, the area, and local activities. We utilized this book for trips to town and planning excursions. We enjoyed every minute of our trip and would go back again. Thank you Dan and Donna for an amazing vacation experience.

Wonderful Escape
If you're looking to step away from it all, soak in sun with sweeping views - Enchanted Monkey House is the perfect place to do it. The pictures and all descriptions are all accurate - you will not be disappointed. Dan and Donna are incredibly warm and gracious. They provide an extensive breakdown before arrival - what to expect at the house and surrounding area - i highly recommend reading through carefully as it's very informative. Definitely rent a 4 Wheel Drive to tackle the steep hills and unpaved roads, and to get yourself to surrounding areas like Playa Hermosa. Spent 5 nights with three friends and we all wish we had more time at the house - just means we'll have to visit again.

a beautiful home with a stunning view
My husband and I stayed at Casa de Mono March 5th -19th 2018. Two full weeks of perfect weather and accommodations. The house is exactly as depicted with 3 large bedroom suites, each with their own ensuite bathroom. There are 2 additional powder rooms for shared use. The floor plan is well laid out and obviously thoughtfully designed to maximize the use of the shared spaces, the private bedroom areas and the view from every room. The view. The view. The view. (Because we were only one couple, we used the upstairs space and kept the downstairs rooms closed. This house would be ideal for three couples if you like to share your vacation. We don't. This house was still perfect.) We have been renting vacation homes for approx. the last ten years and this was probably one of the best equipped and laid out houses we have had the pleasure of renting. The kitchen has everything you need to cook great meals at home, which we did often, and a BBQ located in the pool bar. Yep, there is even a sunken pool bar with an outdoor beer/wine fridge. The infinity pool is a good size with bar stools to "belly" up to the bar. The pool is cleaned daily and is spotless and a refreshing but pleasant temperature. Not sure how they manage to keep that water from heating up. The property is spotlessly maintained by onsite caretakers who are absolutely lovely and accommodating. All of the outdoor spaces are wonderful, both upstairs and down. You will be mesmerized by the view (did I already mention the view?) and watching folks fish from boats and the rocks below. In March (dry season) there were no bugs, day or night. You can access the beach using easily managed stairs. Be prepared for a bit of a hike/drive into town. It is just a couple of kms. but the roads are steep. There are lots of restaurants and stores/markets in San Juan del Sur where you can eat out or purchase groceries to eat at home. Both are very affordable options. This is the perfect spot for the laid back type of vacation that we enjoy, but would also be perfect for a group that wants the perfect place to return to at the end of a day of site seeing or beaching. Dan makes the rental process easy and provides useful and detailed information about car rentals, taxis, restaurants and food. Our first morning we watched monkeys playing in the trees nearby. This is indeed an enchanted monkey house. You will not be disappointed.
