La Pura Vida

When we first visited Nicaragua in 2005 our family immediately fell in love with the off-the-beaten-track charm of Nicaragua's Emerald Coast. Lined with dense jungles and white sand beaches this small portion of pacific coastline offers several world class surf breaks. Our colonial style home, Casabella, is located within Hacienda Iguana, one of Nicaragua's premier gated communities, perfectly nestled between 2 of Nicaragua's top 10 surf breaks (Colorado and Panga Drops). Designed and built in an authentic colonial Nicaraguan style with a beautiful courtyard garden and lagoon style pool, Casabella is a stunning mix of modern luxuries and natural elements. We love our Nicaraguan home and know that you will too. Come enjoy la pura vida with us.
