From the owner

Casa Cielo Azul is a 4,000 square foot home designed by renowned architect Matthew Falkiner of Simplemente Madera. Experience peaceful treetop living in eco-luxury with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Sounds of the waves from three nearby beaches can be heard from the bedrooms and living spaces, harmonizing with sounds from birds and howler monkeys.

The heart of the house is the main level. You enter through the large deck among the trees and raised high above the forest floor. Sliding doors open into the open plan dining area and kitchen. The hallways are columned with beautiful pieces of eucalyptus hardwood and lead into the main sala or living room and another viewing deck.

The house has two master bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, his and hers sinks. A third bedroom also with an ensuite bathroom is located with its own entrance at the lower level of the house with its own deck. An additional fourth bedroom is located on the upper level.

The house has wi-fi through-out. Located on the lower level is the laundry room equipped with washer and dryer - very handy during the green season. The house is also equipped with back-up power powered by inverter so can continue a tranquil holiday without noise from generators - a must in Nicaragua.

Casa Cielo Azul a is part of the Balcones de Majagual, a gated community. Parking is available with security 24 hour security. Your security man is also equipped with a two way radio that links him to the property supervisor should you have any questions about the house, the town or if you need assistance with additional services. Cleaning service is available biweekly at no extra cost.

Guests marvel at "the house with no windows". We say "what do you mean no windows? It is one massive window". See for yourself Other guests comment how we the feel as though they are living outside yet when it rains, we stay dry. Alternative lifestyle, open to adventurous minds. Only 15 minutes from the pretty little town of San Juan yet still far away from it all, nestled in this forest home sharing the space with the local wildlife. Enjoy the ocean and beach from three different beaches - Majagual, Playones and Maderas.

Getting Here and Getting Around...

Our meet and greet team will be hear to welcome you on arrival, providing a tour of town, assist with grocery shopping, and escort you to the house- an extra we include for you at no charge!

Nearby Town and Beaches...

15 minutes north of the town of San Juan del Sur, close enough to drive down to shop for a few amenities, chat with the local surfers or go to a restaurant or bar for some live music and eats but far enough to retreat from all that hustle and bustle.

If however, you and your friends are here for a surfing adventure, you will be glad to know that you can stash your boards on your truck or ATV and drive down from the house to Playa Playones in 3 minutes. Park the car and walk 5 minutes south to Playa Maderas. Walk from the house with the board in about 20 minutes. Playa Remanso, breaks on sand, excellent for beginners is about a 35 minute drive.

Once again a fantastic stay
Dec 2018

Last year we stayed at Casa Arbol, right next to Casa Cielo Azul, so we knew what to expect. We did not get disappointed - for a larger group or family Casa Cielo Azul is ideal. We love it!

Owner's reply:
Hello Wendy, Thank you for the honest review. We will be updating our appliances soon and save up to upgrade the furniture as well. We have just purchased a new battery back-up system to help with power outages. Power outages are so common in Nicaragua that unfortunately it has burned out our old power back-up system. The doors and walls are a bit of a design feature and changing these would not be in-keeping with the architect's original vision, so i am afraid art wins over some functionality here. Locals do not speak English or speak very very little, unlike neighbouring Costa Rica and we do need to brief our guests about this so they are prepared when they visit. Some guests opt to go with the services of an English speaking concierge for this same reason. I am glad you had a good time overall and had a great adventure! Hope to host you again soon. Thanks again. Cheers! Ana and Glen Ross
