Enchanted Monkey House with Breathtaking Ocean Views

Beautiful house, very well maintained, with stunning views from every room. Wonderful to watch monkeys, whales and the glorious sunsets from the pool and to wake up sounds of the ocean surf each morning.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Enchanted Monkey House. The layout is open and breezy with big windows and patio doors that look straight out to the ocean. Morning coffee on the deck quickly became a favourite part of our day. The view is incredible.You literally fall asleep and wake up to the sounds of nature and the ocean. It’s peaceful, quiet and feels completely tucked away even though you’re just a short drive from town.The bay below the house is a short walk down some steps and we went snorkeling there a few times. It’s a rocky beach but at low tide you can walk to a sandy area. Most of the time we had the whole beach to ourselves. Occasionally we saw people fishing or snorkeling but no one was ever there when we went down.We were a family of five and the house was perfect for us. The kitchen was fully equipped though we mostly used it for coffee and snacks since we ate in town. It’s only about a 7–8 minute drive to restaurants and shops in San Juan del Sur.The power did go out a few times during our stay but it was never a big issue. Only once did it last a few hours. The rest were just a few minutes and only one happened at night. We just used our phones as flashlights and carried on.Donna the host was always quick to respond and Yubran the caretaker was around if we needed anything. We felt really well taken care of.Highly recommend if you're looking for a peaceful scenic place that still gives you easy access to town. We’d happily stay here again.

This is one of the most beautiful places we’ve stayed at. The property has a spectacular view no matter what room you’re in and the outdoor spaces are great. We utilized the upper covered porch every morning and evening while using the pool area all afternoon. We enjoyed the property so much we found it difficult to leave the view we had and do sight seeing. We were able to spot whale spouts almost every day looking out at the water. The owners provided great information shortly after booking the property and communication with them was wonderful. They were always quick to respond to my many questions. We had Yubran prepare a couple of dinners and breakfast for us which were amazing. It was a very peaceful location yet very close to getting into San Juan Del Sur for meals and shopping. I highly recommend this property.

This property ticked off all of our boxes for a great vacation!! We were at this rental for one month and never tired of the great views. There were numerous birds during our stay, and one day we had around a dozen monkeys visit us and came feed in the trees which were very close to the casa. Were able to get a lot of good photos. Also enjoyed watching the divers snorkeling in Paradise Bay for lobster or sometimes they were fishing. There are great steps (100 or so) down to the shoreline below where we explored numerous times during our stay. My husband also snorkeled and seen quite a few fish. He also fished a few times but didn’t have a lot of luck. Think he was using the wrong bait, as we seen locals catching crabs and using those for bait. They seemed to catch fish with those. During low tide we were able to hike around into the next bay and then go through a land path back to our bay. We found the rocks and rock structures to be absolutely beautiful. Make sure you pack good sturdy water shoes for hiking below on the rocks. We were also seeing the whales going by during our stay and one day had two of them fairly close to Gorilla Head rock. Also enjoyed watching the pelicans and hawks circling for fish below in the bay. San Juan del Sur has lots of choices for restaurants and we enjoyed some good meals. This is a very good location for an excellent vacation and we wish to thank Dan and Donna for the opportunity to visit their property!!

Owners communication was stellar prior to our arrival.
