It's getting tough to find quality accommodations in San Juan del Sur this summer.
Casa Tranquila is a great choice just north of town at the surf beaches. Looking for a special get-away in your private eco-retreat or to enjoy time with 3-4 couples?
Lots of privacy in three separate bedroom buildings clustered around a zero-edge pool, with free WIFI, hot tub, patio, wide-screen TV room, gourmet kitchen and large dining porch with huge stone dining table. Sweeping ocean views from every vantage point. Ceiling fans in every room and on three outdoor covered porches. All this is yours, whether you are a single or a larger group. For larger groups, we can suggest additional nearby homes in our neighborhood.
Open air living and only 10 minute drive down our private road to the best surfing and swimming beaches in Nicaragua: Playa Maderas and Playa Majagual.
USA Today includes Playa Madera in their travel tips.
We offer secure, private parking for your car or ATV at our home and our beach club.
Considering a move to a slower, more earth-friendly life-style?
On December 11, 2009,
The New York Times recommends Balcones at Majagual and shows this home as a great example of the retirement lifestyle available in Nicaragua. Try life here in the slow lane for a week or two. Wiggle your toes in the sand. Step out of bed each morning onto exotic hardwood and hand-fired tile floors. Count the monkeys and parrots during breakfast, eat lunch under a palapa on the beach and pick fresh, organic produce for your dinner table.
Experience ecoresort living in an ecological reserve teeming with wildlife and natural beauty.
