This modern oceanview home in Playa Gigante offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle just minutes from some of Nicaragua’s most well-known surf beaches, including Playa Gigante, Playa Amarillo, and Playa Colorado, along the Emerald Coast in Tola. Designed with a timeless, low-maintenance aesthetic, the home is ideal for buyers who want ocean views, rental potential, and freedom from HOA fees, all while living outside of gated communities.
The property sits on a spacious 0.57-acre (2,340 square meter) lot and features approximately 126 square meters of interior living space. The two-story layout includes Two Bedrooms and One and a Half Bathrooms, along with multiple terraces and wraparound balconies that capture sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding green valleys. More than 50 square meters of windows, all fitted with mosquito netting, allow natural light and ocean breezes to flow throughout the home.
A separate cottage measuring 16.8 square meters, complete with a powder room and carport, adds flexibility for guest accommodations or immediate short-term rental income. The generous lot size also allows room to add additional cottages, small rental units, or even a large infinity pool if desired. The landscaped garden features palm and fruit trees, creating a private and tropical setting. Construction was completed in May 2024 using durable concrete block, and approximately 70 meters of the property is enclosed by a wall for added privacy.
The home is well-equipped for comfortable full-time living, with air conditioning on both levels, 220V electrical service, fiber optic internet, video surveillance, and tiled interiors throughout. The kitchen comes ready to use with a gas stove, Samsung refrigerator, and Samsung washing machine. Water infrastructure includes a reliable 74-meter deep well, a 1,600-liter elevated storage tank, and a Franklin pump system, along with a prepared generator connection and an instantaneous water heater.
Access to the property is easy via a well-maintained dirt road, and the home is located just meters from the newly constructed coastal highway. This location places you a short drive from the luxury resorts and golf courses at Guacalito de la Isla and Hacienda Iguana, with two premier golf courses located within three to six kilometers. As the coastal road continues toward completion, travel times to Popoyo, Rancho Santana, and San Juan del Sur will become even more convenient. Nearby restaurants and boutique hotels such as Hotel Brio, Ingigante, and Juntos Beach Bar contribute to the area’s growing appeal for both travelers and residents.
With no HOA fees and strong lifestyle and rental potential, this modern oceanview home in Playa Gigante represents an excellent opportunity on Nicaragua’s Emerald Coast.

My name is Eric and I just wanted to share a quick comment on my experience working with Joel. He actually handled both the purchase and sale of my property. Both were closed smoothly, completely remotely.
