Tierra Nahua  Eco Lodge Casa 🥥 a step from  beach - Villas for Rent in Limon 2, Nicaragua

We very much enjoyed our stay! The house looks into a garden where we saw some beautiful birds. It was quite, but it was easy to walk to the beach, to restaurants, and to some small grocery stores. We received helpful recommendations for a driver, for yoga, and for a masseuse. Not having AC was mostly fine. We live in Panamá so have a decent tolerance for heat and humidity. Opening the doors for a cross breeze made a big difference but then the trade of was bugs.

Quiet place for those seeking peace and relaxation. Thank you, Paz and Carolina, for the experience. We'll be back.

Lugar tranquilo para los que buscan paz y descanso. Gracias a paz y carolina por la experiencia. Volveremos

We loved our stay with Maria! The house was exactly as described and spacious. It is a few minutes walk from the beach and in a nice, quiet road. The kitchen was well stocked and the bedroom & living room were very comfortable. The shape of the house also meant that it was very breezy and fresh. Maria was also very accommodating and responsive! Would 100% stay here again.

Listing as described, quiet, and well located for exploring the surrounding area. A vehicle is required, whether a car, 4x4, or SUV. The “Avenida Principal de Popoyo” is a completely pot-holed dirt road, and it is mandatory to use it to get to the accommodation and to leave it for visits to the surrounding area; a 10-minute bumpy ride is guaranteed.😅 Otherwise, great, and a beautiful spot 🤩

Logement conforme à la description, calme et bien situé pour graviter aux alentours. Nécessite un véhicule, si voiture, 4x4 ou SUV. L'"Avenida Principal de Popoyo" est une route de terre totalement défoncée, il est obligatoire de l'emprunter pour accéder au logement et en sortir pour les visites alentours, 10 minutes de secousses assurées😅 Sinon, top et coin magnifique 🤩

Would recommend. Nice open house close to the beach. We had everything we needed!

Very nice place. Lovely outdoor bathroom and location very close to the beach

Veldig deilig sted. Nydelig ute bad og plassering veldig nærme stranda

The place is amazing for a relaxed getaway. It’s close to the beach (1min walk), there are some restaurants and two shops nearby if you want to cook. The house itself is just like it’s shown in the pictures. We felt at home immediately and Paz was an incredible host, who always helped us when needed. Just be aware that the wifi isn’t really strong and sometimes it’s totally gone. For us it was no problem, because we wanted to relax and catch up on our reading, but if you need to have a reliable internet connection it could be a problem. 
Thank you Paz for the amazing stay!

Paz was super lovely and always helpful if we needed something!!! The Cabin is really cozy, has a good energy and we loved our stay there really much. 
Also the way the cabin is built with sustainable materials, made the climate in the inside really nice, so we never needed an AC.

Thank you so much Lea!!! I really appreciate ♡

Maria was very responsive and helpful with everything. Cleaners came multiple times to make sure the apartment was clean and stocked. My only complaint is the mosquitoes in that part of town are prolific. Otherwise everything was good.

Lovely little Casita for a short stay. The hosts were amazing and very helpful and communicative!

A beautiful little house one block from the beach. Well-equipped and super quiet. Perfect for relaxing or surfing, I loved it!

Un hermosa casita a una cuadra de la playa. Bien equipada y súper tranquila. Perfecto para relajarse o hacer surf, me encantó!

Staying at Tierra Nahua for 3 weeks was perfect. It's a peaceful place in the heart of Limon 2, perfect for a couple and surfers. We had a lot of privacy and tranquility there. Paz is a wonderful human and a great host. She was always available if we had questions. The place itself is 2min walk from the beach and close to many things. We would stay there again for sure if we come back !!

Oh my goodness- where to start! Everything about Maria’s place was absolutely perfect! We felt right at home when we arrived- Maria was an amazing and warm host- helped us organize things beyond just our stay- like setting us up with a competent driver, making local recommendations and ensuring we felt safe and comfortable throughout our stay! Would come back here in a heartbeat, it was all we were hoping for and even more special than we expected! Thank you so so much, we are so grateful for you ✨✨✨

Absolutely loved this place! It’s very quiet, chilled and comfy. Great location with everything you may need nearby. We stayed 5 nights before Christmas and were sad that we had to leave, therefore, we came back for another 2 weeks! Paz is a fantastic host, great communication and she makes you feel right at home. Throughly recommend staying here.

We enjoyed every moment of our stay and felt home from home. The surroundings and beaches including the villa are beautiful, peaceful and the area has a sense of tranquility. We were able to recharge our souls and body’s and could have easily stayed longer. Waking up to the sound of the sea, birds and monkeys made the stay even more special. Maria is a very friendly host, always helpful and easily to communicate with. The memories we have taken from our stay are sweet and extra special. 🥰🙏🏽🌺🌅

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this thoughtfully constructed and furnished cabin/casita surrounded by lush vegetation in a small, quiet and very well-kept beachfront community. A simple kitchen, large open-air bathroom, comfy bed and spacious upper balcony overlooking the forest were the best features for us. Just 100 steps from the beach, with great waves for surfing, tranquil inlets with shallow water for kids or pets to play, and fascinating rock formations nearby (note: at high tide the beach mostly disappears but a dirt road makes it easy to get from one end to the other). Paz is a charming and responsive hostess who has made this a peaceful oasis.

We had a great stay at Tierra Nahua, it is a special place! The house is beautiful with great facilities and it’s a very short walk to the beach. Paz was an excellent host - super helpful, kind, thoughtful and friendly. Only downside of our experience was it rained a lot making the house feel damp and causing power cuts in the area.

Our stay was truly unforgettable! Maria, our host, was incredibly warm and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The house was open, airy, and minimalist, yet it had everything we could possibly need. We loved the relaxed, spacious feel of the place—it was perfect for soaking up the surroundings. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Maria's place was really a dream! The outdoor bathroom, the proximity to the beach - we would have liked to have stayed longer! :)

Die Unterkunft von Maria war wirklich ein Traum! Das Außenbad, die Nähe zum Strand - wir wären gerne länger geblieben! :)

Super nice place that has everything you need for a few days. Communication with Maria Paz was always flawless and she took great care of us and was always available for questions etc. Overall, we really liked it there:)

Super schöne Unterkunft, die alles hat was man für einige Tage braucht. Die Kommunikation mit Maria Paz lief immer einwandfrei und sie hat sich sehr gut um uns gekümmert und war jederzeit für Fragen etc erreichbar. Insgesamt hat es uns dort super gut gefallen :)

Amazing two-level cabin that is very spacious and private. It feels like you have a small house to yourself. Many shaded outdoor areas with an overgrown jungle vibe. Great location where you can hear the waves and are just a minute from the beach. The huge outdoor bathroom is a major bonus--I will miss it!

My absolute happy place on our trip through Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The connection to nature in various forms was the most beautiful thing for me. Be it through the sound of the sea and the animal sounds, the construction of nature materials, the outdoor bathroom, the private terrace surrounded by palm trees, the balcony from which we were always able to observe other animals, the absolute proximity to the sea. A wonderful experience for me and would never have gone again. Thanks also to Maria, who is so warm and helpful with everything. We will definitely come back. Happy to stay longer next time:)

Mein absoluter Happy Place auf unserer Reise durch Costa Rica und Nicaragua. Die Verbundenheit zur Natur in unterschiedlichster Form war für mich das aller schönste. Sei es durch das Meeresrauschen und die Tiergeräusche, die Konstruktion aus Natur Materialien, das Outdoor Bad, die private Terrasse umgeben von Palmen, der Balkon, von dem aus wir immer andere Tiere beobachten konnten, die absolute Nähe zum Meer. Für mich eine wundervolle Erfahrung und wäre am liebsten nie wieder gegangen. Danke auch an Maria, die so herzlich und hilfsbereit ist mit allem. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen. Nächstes Mal gerne noch länger :)

We had a great stay at Maria’s place, loved the walking distance to the beach, the local grocery store was right by and the hosts were super helpful with everything we needed! Even extended our stay for 9 more days!

Tierra Nahua is INCREDIBLE! The house is beautiful, clean and in a perfect location. I was lulled to sleep nightly by the sound of the ocean and enjoyed my morning coffee on the gorgeous balcony daily. Shay was the best host I have ever experienced, incredibly attentive and yet provided privacy. I can't wait to come back!

Very beautiful place, great location right by the beach. Host was amazing, helped us out with transportation and renting surf boards.

Love this place! My friend and I enjoyed our stay and we will definitely come back!

We spent 8 nights in Tierra Nahua. The place was really nice and we felt very much at home. Shay was very accessible and helped us with questions and concerns. On a next trip to Popoyo we would definitely visit again! :)

Wir haben 8 Nächte im Tierra Nahua verbracht. Die Unterkunft war wirklich schön und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Shay war sehr gut erreichbar und hat uns bei Fragen und Anliegend geholfen. Bei einer nächsten Reise nach Popoyo würden wir definitiv wieder diese Unterkunft besuchen! :)

Thank you a lot! Thé Place is Great, save and super cute. Maria gave us a lot of Nice tips to eat, surf etc. :-) we will come back for sure :-) The place is really big, we traveled with 3 people and even 4 could stay really good in the place :)

Shay was amazing! Helped out with everything in any hour. Great place to be for few days or even months.

Our month long stay at Shay’s was lovely. We absolutely fell in love with the area, the locals, the surf, etc. The Airbnb itself was a great location. We loved the kitchen, the outdoor bathroom and the shower was lovely. We had our dog with us and he absolutely fell in love with their dog Lola. She’s the sweetest pup and it made our stay so special to have our boy able to go run and play around with Lola. While a few things were lovely, I do have a few things to note: The laundry expense was quite steep. $30 for a large load of laundry. Coming from the states even, I was baffled that laundry was more expensive than dinner. So that’s something to note. We had a few other steep charges that we felt weren’t fair. But aside from that, shay and Maria have a beautiful property and popoyo stole our hearts 🙏🏽

Nice spot to stay in Popoyo closer to the playa Santana. Shay and Maria were super responsive and friendly! We stayed for a month. You’ll need a scooter to get to other surf breaks (you can rent from Shay or locally in town) — Beginners Bay ~8 min scooter ride — Popoyo main break ~12 min ride. Both would be pretty long walks… Santana break is super close! Comfy spot to work and cook and chill. Cozy bed. We had two fans which helped with heat and bugs. Anything we needed for cooking the hosts provided. Great space to cook your own meals! You’ll need to bring your own cooking spices, oils, and basics. Nothing like that provided. Shay has great recs for anything you’d like to do in the area! Overall a nice garden spot with outdoor shower, good wifi, fans and kitchen!

We had a lovely stay at Tierra Nahua. Shay was amazing, very friendly and helpful. But just to clarify there is no swimming pool, which is what it seems to say on Air B and B. Lovely place though, very peaceful and beautiful surroundings.

The best hosts! So friendly and helpful!! We loved staying here. The house was brilliant and in a great location. Highly Recommend!

We enjoyed our stay at the villa, it is a lovely place to relax and enjoy. Maria is a great host and very communicative. I would just recommend having a few more bowls and glassware but otherwise everything was lovely.

Maria was extremely attentive and responsive to our requests during our stay, always providing prompt and thoughtful assistance. The house is beautifully built, exactly as it appears in the photos. It was quite hot especially overnight (we visited in May), however Maria promptly provided us with an extra fan and extension cord which helped. The house was within walking distance of some surf spots and great restaurants and beachfront pool bars (Costa Oeste, Happy Coconut and 99 Surf Lodge were our favourites all less than 5-10 minutes walk), however the beaches were nicer over the other side of Popoyo.

Accommodation was mega nice. One small oasis in the immediate vicinity of the beach. Quiet and relaxedY The kitchen is in good condition, only the cutlery was a bit dirty from the previous visitors. Shay is always easy to reach and helps with questions. There is a good selection of surfboards. The restaurants on the beach are very great and easily accessible. In addition, there are two shops where everything you need to get. We would come back. :-)

Die Unterkunft war mega schön. Eins kleine Oase in unmittelbarer Nähe vom Strand. Ruhig und entspanntY Die Küche ist in einem guten Zustand, nur das Besteck war von den vorherigen Besuchern etwas schmutzig. Shay ist immer gut erreichbar und hilft bei Fragen. Es gibt eine gute Auswahl an Surfboards. Die Restaurants am Strand sind sehr toll und gut erreichbar. Zudem gibt es zwei Läden, in denen alles nötige zu bekommen ist. Wir würden wieder kommen. :-)

A little home in the jungle! Super close to the water, grocery store and a very good italian restaurent, we really loved our stay. You fully immerse yourself in nature and the house was super cute! María was easy to reach if you have questions. Also there is no A.C. but we were good with the fans !

I recommend 100%, the accommodation is what they show and say. Excellent hosts. Paz and Shay answered and resolved every concern we had and provided us with information during our stay in Limón 2. I would come back without hesitation!

Recomiendo 100%, el hospedaje es lo que muestran y dicen. Excelentes anfitriones. Paz y Shay respondieron y resolvieron cada inquietud que teníamos y nos brindaron información en nuestra estadía en Limón 2. Volvería sin dudarlo!

Our stay here was exactly what we needed . Popoyo is a bit off the beaten path but still accessible via taxi. The space is extremely close to two small grocery stores and steps away from the beach. Fully equipped kitchen, a fly net for the bed and an amazing outdoor bathroom. The hosts are super accommodating and friendly . Maria was a joy when we were greeted to the air bnb. Happy coconut was just down the street as well. We spent most of our mornings there sipping coffee watching the waves. Our stay here was pure bliss. Highly recommend popoyo and this accommodation for people craving the slow beach life for a recharge.

We got a awesome time staying at Maria's little cabana. Yes, it's wind season, but she was proactive about cleaning the beds and everything else. Efficient kitchen, clean bathroom (outside + hot water). Wifi come and go because of the wind that cause power shot down.Very quiet at night and remote. We loved that place and can't wait to book with them again. If you go by that place : please say hello to Lola (the dog) for us, we miss her already!

Thanks so so much Julie, we enjoyed having you guys! All the best in your trip and hope to see you soon!

Excellent! Thanks so much and thanks for picking us up to get down to the beach :)

When we arrived, Maria welcomed us warmly and took the time to show us everything and make us feel at home! This place is full of love and beautiful energy , we felt it right away. A magical and beautiful place. Maria was never far away to be of service. Perfect location. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Quand nous sommes arrivées Maria nous acceuilli chaleureusement et a pris le temps de tout nous montrer et nous faire sentir comme à la maison ! Cette endroit est rempli d'amour et de belles energies , nous l'avons toute suite senti. Un endroit magic et magnifique. Maria etait jamais bien loin pour nous rendre service. Localisation parfaite. Merci pour cette experience inoubliable !

We had an incredible time staying at Maria's for our recent honeymoon.  Maria is extremely helpful and did so much to support our family's stay in Popoyo as well as providing some great recommendations for massage, restaurants etc.  A genuine, warm AirBnB experience and one we will return to!

Maria was a great host and very friendly. The place is very nice and peaceful too.

It is a really nice accommodation, close to the beach and on a nice and quiet location. Transport comes in really handy if you want to check other locations or if you want to go to the shop.

One of the outstanding places on Airbnb. If it's available, book it, you won't regret it!!

This place is amazing. I loved my stay here, it's 5 mins walking distance to the beach, the sound of the animals in the morning was special. I also loved how you are able to appreciate nature more and make the effort to recycle and be part of this amazing community, I'll come back!

Maria and Shay are very good hosts, nice and helpful.  The house was quite comfortable, the bathroom was beautiful, but there were also a few disadvantages: inside it is quite dark and gloomy, the appliances and equipment look used, there are a lot of mosquitoes inside that make life difficult, no hot water.  A hot tub was also not available.  Nevertheless, the terrace was a great place to sit and relax.  Besides, the area is beautiful, the views are truly breathtaking, Santana beach is the most beautiful beach in Nicaragua with a wonderful climate!

The dream!!! A beautiful tropical cottage all surrounded by nature! The house is very comfortable, cool and safe. The location is perfect for quick beach access and surfing. Also there are bars and restaurants next door. The owners are really very helpful and nice. It was a lovely stay.

Le rêve!!! Une magnifique maisonnette aux allures tropical toute entourée de nature! La maison est très confortable, fraîche et sécuritaire. L’emplacement est parfait pour un accès rapide à la plage et au surf. Il y a aussi des bars et restaurants juste à côté. Les propriétaires sont vraiment très aident et agréables. Ce fut un séjour mémorable.

This eco lodge is a great location for a tropical getaway! Maria and Shay were awesome hosts and their love for simple living is very inspiring. Loved this magical place and cant wait to return!

It is an ideal place to rest, the natural atmosphere they have created together with the sound of the sea waves generate an ideal energy to relax and forget everything for a few days. The cabins are spacious and very clean, we really liked the second floor balcony. The hot tub was perfect to enjoy a night and a barbecue for the whole family. Hosts are super friendly and have special touches.

Es un lugar ideal para desansar, el ambiente natural que han creado junto con el sonido de las olas del mar generan una energia ideal para relajarse y olvidarse de todo por unos dias. Las cabañas son amplias y muy limpias, nos gusto mucho el balcon del segundo piso. El jacuzzi estuvo perfecto para disfrutar de una noche y un asado toda la familia. Los anfitriones son super amables y con detalles especiales.

We loved spending a month at this house! Maria and Shai have made us feel at home and have helped us with everything we needed. Everything has been perfect, the house is tastefully decorated, and they have a very sustainable construction and management of the place ( eco construction, compost, use of used waters, etc.). Many thanks to Maria, Shai, Alma, Gal and Lola for all!

Nos ha encantado pasar un mes en esta casa! Maria y Shai han hecho que nos sentemos como en casa y nos han ayudado en todo lo que necesitábamos. Todo ha sido perfecto, la casa está decorada con gusto, y tienen una construcción y gestión muy sostenible del lugar ( eco construcción, compost, uso de aguas usadas, etc). Muchas gracias a Maria, Shai, Alma, Gal y Lola por todo!

Simply stylish and comfortable place to enjoy a casual Nicaraguan vacation Very nice family !

I've stayed two weeks in this eco-house in this beautiful location. The family who built and owns the place are one the most welcoming and generous people I've ever met while travelling. You won't feel as a customer there, but almost as a member of the family. Everything was perfect in the house and the surrondings. There is even a garden where you can pick up things during your stay. I can't wait to visit them again in a few months/years to see how this place evolves. Don't hesitate to book, you won't regret it for sure!

The place is wonderful. The house is really spacious with everything you need. To relax and enjoy your stay you have your own terrasse with deck chairs, table, hammock, balcony with chairs and a couch zone inside. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook your own meals. Around the house is a wonderful garden that Maria takes care of with a lot of love for details and lots of plants. You can even harvest some herbs to cook. It is really a small paradise. Maria Paz is the best host we have met on our trip in Central America. She and her family are very friendly and helpful. Maria helped us in every possible way and more. You can rent surf boards and bikes. The beach is really near (150m). The Santana surf spot is ~10min walking distance. We really enjoyed our stay and stayed much longer than planned.

Maria and Shay are super hosts! A soon as I found the place I've sent a massage and got quickly responded. I've tried to reserve the place at short notice, Maria managed to make the place ready for us in no time! (Maria has 2 children, she's a super woman 💪). The place is Eco-friendly-they do compost, recycle plastic and burn paper. I really enjoyed my stay, great hospitality, super chill and family environment, awesome location (150m from the beach, aroind 12 min walk from begginers bay and 5-6 min walk from Playa Santana), the kitchen was perfect for us and the beds are super comfy. In conclusion- if you plan on going to Popoyo don't miss this place 😉

We absolutely adored our stay at Tierra Nahua. This little family is so sweet and so social, they will take really good care of you. The community of Popoyo is very nice; they gave us lifts to the bus stop, watched sunsets with us, even brought us swimming. I think Tierra Nahua is really an amazing place for anyone who wants to relax and learn more about ecology. We highly recommand this place :)

We where warmly welcomed by Maria, Shay and their sweet family. The accommodation was conformed to the description and our expectation with a real kitchen, a big fridge, a large living room and a comfortable and nice shower. We had the option to enjoy the balcony or the patio for the dinner, drink or chill out. The accommodation is at walking distance of one of the best waves of Nicaragua for surf lovers. We have enough intimacy to feel really at home. The interior is super well done and many little details. We can easily see that many efforts have been done for the details. We really liked this place, we came for couple of days and stayed for two weeks. The place is really on the spirit of Airbnb. I totally recommend Maria and Shay has a host. They are caring to their guest in a real positive way and will support you for everything.

The best place in Santana Beach, Nicaragua

It was overall a good 2 night stay at Tierra Nahua despite the really hot, dusty and very windy weather when we were there. Maria and Shay were lovely hosts during our stay and readily available for any help as they and their two little kids are staying in the building less than 20m away. The building that we stayed at was newly finished and the other one next door are just finishing construction. The outdoor bathroom was nice and spacious. Tierra Nahua is located about a 5 min walk to the beach area but the more surfable beach, Playa Sardina, is about 1.3 km away (about 20-30 mins walk one way). During our stay, we did some beginner surfing lessons from Shay during one morning and rode to Playa Sardina in his tuk tuk. The electrical power in the area went out for 1 hour during one day and about 5 hours the other day but it didn't cause too much problem except that the fans cannot be powered and they were much needed for the heat as it was too windy and dusty to open all the windows. We also did not have too much problems arriving in our standard 2 WD rental vehicle but note that road 62 (NIC 62) in the area is a dirt road and is very tricky to navigate without a high clearance vehicle.

Hi Laura, thanks for staying with us! sadly the season you choose is very windy, for that we really hope you will have the option to join us in other opportunity and time of the year. About the surf spot, we are just steps from Santana beach wish is one of the best wave and peak of surf. The beginner bay is 20 minutes walk as you say : ) This beautiful and not develop area still hiding from the eyes of most of the tourist so to get here sometimes can be tricky but always possible : ) thanks again for staying with us!! Tierra Nahua

We have had such a rich and wonderful holiday at Tierra Nahua that it's difficult to choose what to describe first. Maybe it will be a bit too detailed but that's how I'd like to thank them. Maria and Shay are just the best. They have build their lodges with so much passion for natural materials that it was almost palpable inside the little villa. The kitchen has all it needs to have, from a 4-pit cooking stove, to a coffee machine and even a 'smoothie-maker'. The main bed wide and is located on the second floor in a spacious room with a terras next to it .... ahh the terras .. an nice view on trees and green, very private with a cool breeze, we sat there often reading stories to our two kids. and then the bathroom ... spacious, clean, nicely decorated, and bright, the four of us easily could do our thing at the same time. Shay initiated us in the art of surfing, boards and bikes can be rented on the spot, Maria asked us often if we needed something or if she could help in anyway lik with the laundry. We felt taken care of. Maria, Shay, Gal and Alba, thanks for 'esta vacation mas rica' and we'd surely visit again if life brings us to Nicaragua again.

I was their first guest ever and I came back for a second, and will come again and again again. Everything is perfect. The family is lovely, adorable and chill. The house is alive, bright, breathing, and beautiful. The neighborhood is all good vibes and the beach is relaxing with great sunsets. Highly recommend for a solo trip, couple trip, or group trip.

Tierra Nahua was our favorite! The house is cool and breezy (and naturally insulated so it's even cool in the middle of the day!), and the garden was beautiful (we got to use the herbs for cooking and tea!). Maria and Shay felt like family and their son was so fun to play with! We brought our puppy and their dog, Lola, was also very friendly. We are definitely coming back here. We love the beach, the location, and the hosts!

i was only in the beautiful, eco-friendly house of Maria paz, but I will certainly take a longer vacation there. the hosts are very warm,helpful and I felt very welcome. the surroundings and the beach were great for me to relax,bathe and beach hiking.

ich war zwar nur kurz in dem wunderschönen,ökologiscg gebauten haus von maria paz,werde aber bestimmt dort mal länger urlaub machen. die gastgeber sind sehr herzlich,hilfsbereit und ich fühlte mich sehr willkommen. die umgebung und der strand waren für mich ideal zum erholen,baden und strandwandern.

I highly recommended the place. It is not only walkable to the beach but the owner himself is very accommodating and helpful. Shay's cabana has complete kitchen utensils, comfortable bed with proper netting and its surrounding makes you relaxed and just at peace. My boyfriend and I booked for 3 days at first but ended up staying a week. When you are looking for total relaxation and serenity, with a very reasonable price, you don't want to miss this place. Will definitely want to go back and stay in Shay's place again.

The attention to the best, the original place is beautiful, relaxed, super clean. We love it. Looking forward to coming back again soon <3 . And we're fascinated by the idea that you're making a coffee shop :) :b

La atención de lo mejor, el lugar original bonito, relajado, súper limpio. Nos encanto. Esperamos volver pronto <3 . Y nos fascina la idea de que estén haciendo una cafetería :) :b

Perfectly located Bungalows. Aside from the main road and still only 150 m from the Ocean. You can hear waves coming and going sitting outside and have a meal. from one side is a river so it is very quite and with great privacy too. I liked both owners a lot who know the area and Always Ready to help you. Shai is a surfer and help you with all what you Need and Location to surfe. give a try :)

Great place ! Eco friendly house, with everything you need for comfortable stay And! Just 150 meters to the ocean , where you can buy fresh fish. Shay and Maria very hospitable guys with nice kids . They answered all our questions and showed us best place where we can buy fish

Best place ever! We had a great time, the house was beautiful, perfectly clean and the service, one of a kind. I totally recommend it!! The owners made us feel like home, always aware of our needs and requirements. Really the best hostesses you could ever want!! I specially recommend it for families or couples who want to stay near the beach or enjoy aquatic sports. It completely exceeded my expectations. It is a must go place!!

This place is a gem and the family hosting it is adorable. The beach is only hundred and fifty meters away and what a lovely beach it is. We went for a walk at 6 am and found fresh fish and lobster sold directly from a fishing boat. We cooked a real feast of red snapper. The house is super comfortable, ecologically built and everything is very tastefully arranged. The atmosphere is very relaxing. The hosts were very helpful, easy to communicate with and they gave us many good tips where to eat out and what to see near by. We certainly recommend this place for everybody!!
