Description:

Townhouse #3 is a comfortable two-story, two bedroom home that offers over 1,500 square feet of living space. Located between two neighbourhoods of the Hacienda Iguana beach and golf course community, the townhouse is a short, picturesque walk from the beach, and just a few minutes walk from restaurants and shops. An ideal place to spend your vacation!

The townhouse has a lovely porch with rocking chairs and a fan. Relax in a hammock on the upstairs balcony off of the master bedroom overlooking the golf course. There is an outdoor shower and sink located at the entryway. There are also two bicycles included for guest use.

The first floor is open concept, with the kitchen flowing into the living and dining room. There is also a convenient half bath downstairs. There is a TV in the living room with a Roku and Wi-Fi Internet access throughout the house.

The kitchen is fully stocked with enough dish ware and up-graded appliances to facilitate cooking, or order in from one of the restaurants in the area.

Upstairs there are two en-suite bedrooms. The master has a king size bed, while the second bedroom has a queen and 2 single beds (trundle bed style). In total, the house provides sleeping accommodations for up to 6 visitors. There are a/c units in the bedrooms and downstairs, in addition to a wonderful cross breeze the home receives when the doors and windows are open.

Please note that the housekeeping staff will do any laundry you may have as they are the only ones with access to the washer and dryer in the house. 1 free laundry service is included with stays of 3-7 nights. All subsequent laundry requests will be an added charge of $10 per load.

**Please Note**

During construction of the new coastal highway in our area, power outages are being scheduled two or three times weekly in order to install new electrical supply along the road. Unfortunately, notifications for these outages are often last-minute or non-existent. NSR will notify our guests as soon as we have confirmation of a power outage date.

This home does not have a power back-up source, so please be mindful of opening and closing the refrigerator doors during an outage in order to conserve any cold items. If you require internet, please reach out to your reservations agent or our concierge for suggestions on local places where you can connect.

Enjoy the shared pool located steps from the property!

Activities:

This home is located within the Hacienda Iguana development, which is known for its world-class surf breaks. There are 4 surf breaks within walking distance- Playa Colorado, Panga Drops and Los Perros are in the neighborhood and Playa Amarillo is to the south of Playa Colorado (walkable at low tide). We also have a beautiful 9-hole golf course. The course is well designed, beautifully maintained and very affordable to guests.

We would be pleased to arrange airport transfers or a variety of other tours, activities and excursions for you before or during your stay:

- Private and group yoga classes

- Surf lessons and guided surf trips

- Boat and fishing charters

- Massage and spa treatments

- Hot springs

- Horseback riding

- Local community tours
Food supplies:

The best place to get groceries is La Colonia in Rivas, 100m south of the turn off for Tola on the right (west) side of the street. (While in Rivas, you should also top off your fuel because these are the closest gas stations to where you are staying). We HIGHLY recommend stocking up on all or as many of the groceries you will need for your entire stay OR if you don’t want to deal with planning, shopping, and preparing meals ask us about booking the meal plan, our full service catering option.

Eating out:

There are several great food options within the Hacienda Iguana development. The most visited and only beachfront option is Pili`s Kitchen, located at the Beach Club in front of the Colorado Break. It offers a variety of fresh foods, juices, smoothies and full bar. In La Joya next to the Eco Casitas is The Salty Koala, serving up amazing Asian cuisine and craft cocktails. In the commercial zone of the development (where NSR is located) you will find the rest of the culinary options. Above our office is the legendary Casa Ananas, which offers authentic Italian cuisine, pizza and daily international special nights. Next to our office/surf shop you`ll find Downtown Iguana, which offers seafood and authentic Nicaraguan cuisine at a fair price. Across the street you`ll find Scoops and Spokes, which serves up some amazing homemade ice cream, good coffee, baked goods, paninis and fresh juices. A few doors down is the Iguana Brewery, offering sports bar fare and local craft beer.

Other spots and restaurants in the general area (but outside the Hacienda Iguana development) that are worth checking out are: Gigante (El Pozo, Juntos and Giant’s Foot Surf Camp for Burger Night every Monday), Rancho Santana (The Club House, La Boquita tapas restaurant and La Taquería -ask us how to get to la Taquería walking from Iguana) Limón 1 (Avila’s taquería), Limón 2 (La Calabria brick oven pizza), Jiquelite-Playa Santana (Malibu Popoyo, Buena Onda, Costa Oeste, Aloha Bungalows) Popoyo (Mag Rock, Café con Leche), Las Salinas (Todo con Amor restaurant) Guasacate (Finca Wayuu, Dutchy`s Deli, Viento Este) and many more!

Shopping:

We have a well merchandised store (NSR Surf Shop) located inside the Hacienda Iguana development, which offers souvenirs, surf accessories, clothing, beach towels, flip flops, sunscreen, sunglasses, swimsuits, wet suit vests and tops, rash guards and more! We also rent scooters, dirt bikes, surfboards, boogie boards and SUPs out of this location as well.

Other businesses in the Hacienda Iguana community include Pure Spa, 2 small convenience stores with a variety of grocery items, and an ATM is located on the property. Other activities in the development include yoga, horseback riding and in-home massage.

The Riviera commercial plaza is located within a half mile of the Hacienda Iguana entrance. Businesses in this shopping center include BAC bank with ATM machine, a small grocery store (with the basics) and Bagels and Bakes, a cafe with daily home-baked goods and coffee.

Getting Around:

This property is located a 2-2.5 hours drive from the Augusto C. Sandino International Airport in Managua, and approximately 4 hours from the Liberia airport in Costa Rica. Most of the major vehicle rental agencies have locations at the Managua airport (we recommend you make a reservation in advance).
If renting a vehicle, we feel its only necessary to have a 4wd if planning to travel to some of the beaches further south (in the San Juan del Sur area). If one prefers not to rent a vehicle, we can arrange airport transportation and daily sightseeing/surf trips. We have motorcycle and scooter rentals available and we can also arrange vehicle and boat transport to other surf breaks in the area. There is also the option of renting a vehicle from Alamo and National, which has an office next to Hacienda Iguana.

Located in Tola, this villa is next to a golf course and near the beach. Hacienda Iguana Golf Club and Guacalito de la Isla Golf Course are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Gigante Beach and Playa Amarillo. Motor boating and surfing/body boarding offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails and horse riding nearby.
