Playa Gigante · Nicaragua
The only home in Gigante with its own sea shelf. Tide pools, snorkeling, and reef fishing — from your own platform.
The Explorer's Home
Private sea shelf for tide pooling, snorkeling, and reef fishing — from your own platform. Pool. Private beach. Twenty-minute walk to Gigante on shaded jungle trails, or 35 minutes by boat from San Juan del Sur.
On the right October morning, the water runs emerald all the way to the horizon. The sea shelf puts you directly into that — no boat needed. Just steps from the house to the reef.

What guests say
"The kitchen was stocked. Coffee provided. Nemer met us at the gate. By far the most beautiful beach on the whole Pacific coast."
"The sea shelf is unlike anything I've seen at a vacation rental. Walked out the back door and was snorkeling in twenty steps. Nemer was incredible — knew every reef, every fish."
"We came for a week and stayed two. The house handles itself — Danny got us from the airport, the kitchen was ready, the pool was perfect. Zero friction."
"Genuinely one of the best places I've ever stayed. The tide pools at sunset are something you can't get anywhere else. Rare is the right word."
