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.

(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!

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.

Mi Casa Soñada Spacious Beachfront House + Studio - Houses for Rent in Tola, Rivas, Nicaragua

Beautiful beachfront location. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but did have some minor complaints. -no spare paper towels, however they did bring some the following day. -no sponge in kitchen to wash dishes, they did bring one the next day -coffee maker but no coffee provided -no soap/shampoo/conditioner in bathrooms -wifi was very unreliable -the stove doesn’t work very well, which makes cooking very difficult. -not one TV in the entire home -dog poop on pool deck right next to pool when we arrived. -only one bar stool by bbq bar top when it could easily fit 3-4 Host did respond to all of our requests but it did take quite some time to get a response back. Home is not super modern, and has a lot of wear and tear. Loved the community and we will be back but most likely will try to find a newer/more modern home next time we stay in this community.

Hello Paul! Thank you for your feedback. We do not provide personal hygiene amenities nor food items in our properties. There is a TV in the room that is off the kitchen, perhaps you didn't go into that room and didn't see it. There is also a TV in the detached casita. We appreciate your feedback on the other items and are always working to improve our guests' experiences!

A house with a view and a pleasant atmosphere to enjoy as a family!

Una casa con una vista y un ambiente agradable para disfrutar en familia!

We loved our stay at NSR. Great property and amazing beach!

Great host. Beautiful place. Amazing beach.

Perfect stay - not a single complaint. Cant way to go back ASAP !!!

A great house, matched description. Kitchen has necessary supplies for cooking although oven and stove do not work well. Don’t plan on using the oven. But the grill is great! Stove works ok, one burner works well and the others are slow. Outdoor space is amazing - loved the pool, location, access to beach. Beach towels provided and the housekeeper does laundry when she comes which was very helpful. Jose was very helpful checking in and arranging transport when we needed it. Beds are comfy, AC is great and house was clean. Community feels very safe.

Thanks for your honest review, Mandy! We are in the process of procuring a new stove, so for your next trip you will be all set :)

Fantastic beach front property with fabulous pool, gardens, amazing beds right at Panga drops surf spot. Communication with NSR was super smooth, responsive and detailed. The shuttle service, personal cooks, and house keepers we had were incredible. We will return again!

It definitely felt like home with a beautiful natural setting.  My whole family really enjoyed the stay. Recommended.

Definitivamente se sentía como en casa con un entorno natural precioso.  Toda mi familia disfruto mucho la estadía. Recomendado

Una de las casas más lindas que nos hemos quedado.  Ordenamos  el servicio de comida y fue excelente. La casa súper limpia bien equipada y muy bien ubicada.  Totalmente recomendada.

Excelente lugar. Muy lindo, ordenado aseado y muy acogedor. Recomendada al 1000

Ubicación perfecta, es un lugar que supero mis expectativas. Nos encanto! Seguridad única, vivimos una gran experiencia. Definitivamente vamos a regresar.

Our stay here was amazing! I can’t speak highly enough about NSR (the property management company that runs the listing). They answered all our questions leading up to our travel, and helped us massively with logistical issues and a few changes to our itinerary that in my experience some other hosts would have been less accommodating with. Once we were there they had someone in the area who took care of organizing all sorts for things from surf board rentals and boat trips, to taxis and horseback rides. All in all highest quality service accommodations I’ve ever had from an air bnb.

Muy bonita casa, acondicionada y con una vista y ubicación única!

Fabulous house, location, and hosts! Couldn't recommend more highly!

Buena ubicación, pero no es una casa acogedora y los muebles del área común son muy incómodos para estar sentado

The host canceled this reservation 36 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Excelente ubicación, muy funcional y acorde a la descripción, si te gusta la cercanía al mar esta es una gran opción
