Colina Escondida:monoAmbiente - Superb central location with oasis-like escapism

*** Description ***

Superb location & convenience coupled with oasis-like escapism, this home is purposely positioned to be your perfect hideaway when seeking to be near downtown, yet need a haven to retreat to on foot. You can be carefree (and car-free) at a moment's notice to stroll towards the energy of the beachtown, yet easily recharge back home perched high above it all with gorgeous golden-hour views of the town and hillsides. From this hidden hill, you can walk to town in just 5 minutes (7 to the beach)!


*** Property ***

✓ That’s right! NO Cleaning Fee & NO Aircon Fee. Welcome to our cabaña, traveler!

• BACKUPS include 8,000 liters of water tank storage (because SJDS and many homes often run out of water) and multiple UPS batteries to keep the high-speed fiber WiFi running when the town loses power (up to 3 hours).

• Monoambiente—Spanish for "Studio Apartment"—perfectly highlights our stilted cabaña studio home, which includes 30m² of living space and another 30m² of balcony space surrounding the home. There are 2 ceiling fans, an aircon unit, and large sliding glass doors and windows (with screens to keep the insects out) that let the cool westward breezes from Lake Nicaragua whip right through the interior.

• BEDROOM comfortably sleeps 2 on the floating queen bed, but if a 3rd wants to sleep on the couch, we can accommodate that and provide you with extra linens. The sofa is 185cm (6ft) long, designed to fit most people. There are bedside tables with outlets and a freestanding closet with hangers, drawers, and shelves.

• BATHROOM has a "nightlight porcelain sink", toilet with bidet attachment, and a cabinet & shelves. The tropical, hot-water shower is located outside—yet privately enclosed—where you can watch the blue skies or stars & moon, as well as a view of the whole town and hillside from one of the best shower-views in SJDS.

• KITCHENETTE with microwave, slow cooker, mini fridge, coffee maker, large countertop space, and a variety of kitchen tools, because this house is not just a rental home. It's our home as well and we love to cook in it and keep it well-stocked!

• PATIO DECK is partially covered by a traditional clay-tile roof and there is also a French bistro-style wrought iron table and chairs. Warm, glowing string bulbs dangle around the home and bring extra tranquility to this space at night. The views of the town and hillside, along with the height of the balcony and the property (~55m above sea level), creates a sense of blissfully soaring above the town.

• SHARED POOL, a few steps down the hill below the house, is a gorgeous saltwater pool and patio overlooking the downtown. This is where another bathroom and outdoor shower are located. The pool is sometimes shared with our 2nd home on our property when that one is occupied.

• SHARED PLUNGE TUB is a fresh-water lounge area located at the very top of the property where 6-8 people can soak in the tub, soak up the sun, or soak up the moon with soaring views of the beach, bustling town, and sunsets.

• OUTSIDE your door hangs a hammock, a mini-wilderness, and sometimes you can see monkeys foraging in the treetops around our hidden hill. "monoAmbiente" can also take on a second Spanish meaning—Monkey Environment!


*** Guest Access ***

• ENTIRE CABAÑA is private and available for you and your group, as well as the outdoor covered deck area and the space underneath the stilted home. The pool, plunge tub, and entrance steps are sometimes shared with our 2nd home on our property, but when that home is not occupied, the 1,400m² outdoor property is all yours. You can view that 2nd home here:

• PARKING right below the pool area for smaller vehicles such as rented motos, ATV/Quads, or UTV/Side-By-Sides. For cars and trucks, there is offsite parking about 50 meters away in an empty lot at the top of the street, or public street parking at the base of the hill.


*** Guest Interactions ***

• CHAT/TEXT in the app, as we enjoy answering any and all questions. Instead of wasting precious vacation time trying to find something in the home, figure out how something works, or questions about the town, just send us a quick message.

• GROUNDSKEEPER Manuel is sometimes available to address any concerns or problems in person. He's fantastic, even helped build both of our homes, and is knowledgeable of many things SJDS and beyond. He will be cleaning the pool daily as well as tending to the plants and gardens around the property. He can help you run errands or pick something up. Oh, and he is learning English!

• WE THE HOSTS sometimes live in SJDS (when not in Boston or traveling) and may be living in the other home further down the hill. Come down and say hi! We are very gregarious and sociable, love hosting our guests, and even introducing them to the town if they want! We can interact with you as much or as little as you prefer.


*** Other Details ***

• STEEP HILL/QUICK WALK to get to the house ~55 meters above sea level that requires a brief but steep walk. Most visitors can walk up to our home in less than 4 minutes. While the location and view are worth it, it is impractical for people with asthma, breathing issues, knee problems, injuries, or walking difficulties.

Let us know that everyone in your group is fine with this short but steep walk. We are excited to have you book with us!
