Paradise Bay House | Enchanted Monkey House with Breathtaking Ocean Views

3 Bedroom House in Paradise Bay, San Juan del Sur

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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!!

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed staying at your property. The only downside was that Ubran didnt speak or understand English very well. But, overall this was a very relaxing stay! Thank you for allowing us to stay here!

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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!

Summary: This was the second time for me staying at casa de mono, beautiful home with great view of the ocean. Me and my wife just relaxed and enjoyed.
Ana R. May 20, 2023 09:04:09 AM
Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.
