From Washington, DC (USA) November 27 2019 - December 01 2019

Wow, what an incredible beach house! We spent thanksgiving at casa luminosa, and it was unforgettable. Hard to overstate how wonderful it is to have the ocean just steps away from your door, with the surf sounds lulling you to sleep every night. We definitely plan to come back.

From Atlanta, Georgia (USA) October 12 2019 - October 19 2019

We had a wonderful week at Casa Luminosa in Playa Colorado. The house was pretty and clean and exactly as advertised. Property manager was very responsive as things came up over the week. Daily house and pool cleaning was great. Would definitely recommend.

 

As a note, if you go off season (October) the beach club and several restaurants in the compound were closed, but we were able to find several nearby restaurants in Facebook and had fun exploring the surrounding area.

From San Diego, CA (USA) September 08 2019 - September 12 2019

Casa Luminosa has it all. While our focus during the trip remained on the waves (which were pumping everyday with grooming offshore winds), we fully appreciated the beautiful amenities of this house. Clean, big kitchen with a great central bar area. Plenty of hammocks for lounging in the front yard, and endless ripe coconuts to keep us fueled in between surfs. this place is special and I look forward to my return.

From Tampa, FL (USA) May 17 2019 - May 19 2019

The house was really pretty. It’s so clean and the view is beautiful. The pool was so nice and relaxing and the hammock and the chairs and really comfortable. Be prepared for lots of little crabs! The property was beautiful and well maintained.

 

The house was so comfortable and beautiful on the inside and felt very homey. The owner did a good job decorating it to make it feel like a family home. The bathrooms are nice and big and the master room is incredible. The kitchen is huge and has enough space for a whole family to be in there prepping and cooking together. The only thing to keep in mind is that the price changes depending on how many people you have in the house.

The house was great! It's located right in the middle of panga drops and colorados, and is an easy walk to each break. The pool and outdoor area were perfect for relaxing after a surf. This place has everything you need! My friends and I hope to be back soon!

The Luminosa house on the beach is a great option and I would highly recommend staying here. With views of two great surfing breaks, the location could not be better. Maria the housekeeper kept the place super clean and the guys working outside kept the pool clean and the garden looking great. The host David was more than willing to help out with anything we needed and available to answer any questions.

From Dallas December 19 2017 - December 26 2017

Casa Luminosa was our second time to rent a house at Playa Colorado. We love this beach and the staff at Nica 365 are awesome. The house was perfect for our family of 3. Plenty of shady places to sit, pretty palm trees, kitchen had everything we needed. Loved the hammock. The beds were comfortable, plenty of hot water, and the internet worked great. Maria, the housekeeper, somehow, always stayed out of our way but managed to keep the house spotless for us. We rented a car this time and did our own shopping and meal prep or we ate at the great little restaurants right in Hacienda Iguana and nearby. Just can’t say enough good things about Nicaragua, this beach, this house, the waves, and Nica 365. Already working on a rental for next year...

Iguana is our happy place! We loved this house. Rooms were nicely equipped and nothing beats a hammock while looking out at the waves.

 

Maria was excellent. She was quick at doing a morning cleaning at the house and very helpful during meal times. We are looking forward to our next trip to Iguana.

From Charleston, South Carolina October 01 2017 - November 29 2017

The villa is as advertised and the photos just do not do it justice! In person, the Villa is even better. You can see both Colorados and Panga Drops from the property. The infinity pool was amazing and who ever gets the upstairs master bedroom is in for a treat. Its a must stay for your next vacation.

From Los Angeles September 22 2017 - September 29 2017

We LOVED our stay at Casa Luminosa. It was exactly what we needed for our group of 5 although you could comfortably have 7 people here. We never wanted to leave.

 

The location is perfect - right between the two main surf breaks in the area so you can walk out to the beach with your coffee and see which one is going off. It is a bit far from amenities so I would recommend renting a car for your time here.

 

The house itself is clean and quiet. The beds are decently comfortable and the AC is awesome.

 

If you stay here, you MUST book Maria to cook for you. It is such a good deal and so worth it. Her cooking is amazing and it feels so luxurious to not have to deal with any of the clean up! Seriously the best money we spent on the trip.

 

If a quiet, low key trip is what you're looking for, this is the perfect place. The house and the team who manage it are fantastic and we would definitely stay here again.

Incredible

Rating starRating starRating starRating starRating star

From San Diego September 01 2017 - September 08 2017

We had it all at this place - surf, sand, ocean, a private swimming pool, and a housekeeper/cook - all within the private and secure gated community of Hacienda Iguana. We had an amazing vacation stay in this home. We enjoyed the private pool looking directly out over the ocean and the hammock every day. The house was tastefully furnished and decorated and totally made us feel at home. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook every day and Maria kept the house spotless. The master bedroom was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The house manager, Iain, was always available to help, regularly checked in on us to make sure we didn’t need anything and had helpful suggestions. We had a great maid, Maria, who also cooked for us one of the days (extra cost but so very worth it!). We had a rental car and drove to the small town San Jorge one day to take the Ometpe ferry and to other nearby beaches a few other times too. There are three good restaurants within walking distance of the house. We loved the warmth and friendliness of the house management, staff and the community and can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend this property to anyone visiting this area. It’s big enough to sleep 8, but it is also great just for two. Jeremy and Alicia from San Diego

My family of 6 stayed at this house for 10 days. The location was perfect with great surf, sandy beaches and pool overlooking it all. I can't say enough about how great it was dealing with Nicaragua365. James, David and Iain were able to coordinate everything we needed prior to and during our stay. We own a Vacation Rental and NIC365 level of service was above and beyond all other properties we've stayed. Absolutely take advantage of the meal plan. We LOVE Maria! Every meal she cooked, my kids would say that it was the best ever! Our family will be definitely be back :+)

Perfectly Situated

From Portland, Oregon July 22 2017 - August 02 2017

We've been coming to Nicaragua to surf for the past three years and have stayed at Casa Luminosa every time.

 

It's perfectly situated right on the beach between the two breaks so you can check which one is firing and walk there in no time at all.

 

Nicaragua 365 provides all the service you need whether it's boat trips, massages and transportation. They even found me a guitar I could rent for the duration of our stay. This is the spot if you're a small surf crew or a family with surfers a beach goers.

Start to finish - staying here was a great experience. The house is beautiful, clean, comfortable, and directly on the beach as advertised. The location is perfect and the service is top notch. David, Iain, James, and their whole crew are extremely attentive, responsive, and considerate.

 

If you want to have your own spot right on the beach with very high quality waves out front, you can't beat this spot. Our primary mission was to surf as much as possible and have a super relaxing week and we did exactly that. I would gladly recommend this spot to friends/family. Thank you!

From Ventura, California April 26 2017 - May 07 2017

This house is even better than the pictures represent! We could watch the surf at Panga Drops and at Colorados from the couch or the pool, and even better from the upstairs balcony. It is very clean and spacious and comfortably accommodated 5 of us. Maria, the housekeeper comes each morning and keeps the house immaculate. There is a groundskeeper who cleans the pool each morning and is on site to answer any questions. And then there is Iain and David, the house concierges who make sure your stay is perfect! They arranged our transportation to and from the airport and arranged any excursions we wanted to take. Iain checked in regularly and made sure that we were all comfortable and happy. The service was top notch!! This was one of the BEST vacations we have ever taken. We definitely plan to return!!

From Philadelphia, PA (USA) February 23 2017 - March 05 2017

Truly an amazing House with a lot of small details that really stood out to us. Location was fantastic and everything was within walking distance inside the community. I suggest a scooter like we had or a golf cart for community transportation. Service was too notch with Ian. He was funny and a pleasure to deal with. Maria was great with her cooking and cleaning and we really appreciated her help.

 

Our only issue was the shower head in the master which was terrible and didn't belong in such a spacious and well built shower. We requested it be replaced and sadly it was not. I was close to offering to pay for it because it would have changed our Showering x 100% hopefully they get this replaced for the next guest. We stayed for 10 nights and this was the only issues we had. The house itself is truly incredible and we would highly consider staying again if we head back to Nicaragua.

This was the best surf vacation. Maria in the kitchen is a must, two delicious cooked meals per day. Fresh fish delivered to the door, lobster... Awesome. Silvio can come thru with any request you can think of and quickly. The house was more than we could have imagined. Now for the surf, it was really consistent and fun. Silvio planned a boat trip to catch each spot at the right tide as well as miss the crowds and other boats. This place is the perfect set up for surf and relaxing. Thanks again.

From El Salvador December 26 2012 - January 01 2013

We were at Casa Luminosa for New Years, and we are so happy we found this beautiful house at such a peaceful beach! It is a surfers beach, but you can totally go with small children, we were two families with kids from 9 months old to 7 years old, and we had no problem with the waves, we spent a lot of time at the beach

 

The people that work at the house are very nice and cordial. Julieta helps with the cleaning, cooking if you want, washses dishes, and she makes wonderful Gallopinto! The house has central AC! and each room has an AC as well, it is fully equiped with everything you would need at your city home, so that makes the experience a lot better!

 

The only that we would have enjoyed most would have been to have a nice pool umbrella since the sun hits hard at noon and the children specially like to play a lot in the pool, so that would have been nice. And there is a BBQ!! But it would have been an even better experience to have it facing the beach so that the view is enjoyed! Right now it is at the back side of the house, next to the kitchen.

 

We are definetely returning and recommending the experience at Casa Luminosa to everyone we talk to! Thank you for everything!!!!

From Brevard, NC USA December 22 2012 - December 26 2012

Don't miss this one if you are headed to the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua, specifically Tola.

 

Casa Luminosa is located directly on the the beautiful Colorado beach with surfing at Colorado to your left and Panga Drops to your right. There was nothing like hearing the surf at night and then getting up in the morning, out the door with a cup of coffee and a walk on the beach. The villa is very comfortable and well maintained, even a pool between the villa and the ocean. The caretakers, Julieta and Antonio, are fantastic. They are on property and are there to help you in any way they can. We used Julieta services to cook for us and it was the best decision we ever made in our travels. The food was delicious, flavorful and healthy. Go for this service. As you know the grocery store is not just around the corner in this area so having them do the shopping and the preparation is well worth every penny. More time to play and relax.
