Ometepe Casitas - Cabin with private Kitchen on peaceful and beautiful lakefront property in El Peru, Ometepe. Guest can swim at the calm beach and enjoy stunning views of both the Maderas and Concepcion Volcanoes, rent a kayak and paddle up to the Istian river. Rent a scooter and explore the rest of the island or just sit back and relax at the beach or terrace and see the sunset while watching monkeys and hundreds of birds and parrots flying back home to our neighboring trees. The space Our property consists of a lake front house with a second floor terrace that guests can use, Beach gazebo, parking space and a total of 3 cabins with about 6 meters of distance between each other. Each Casita accommodates 2 guests. If you are a looking to book for a larger group you can find the other 2 tiny homes on the map next to this one. Other things to note Staying on an Island in paradise has its price: Power outages are very common when there are heavy rains or strong winds or just the regular network maintenance. We have some rechargeable fans and lights in each cabin for these situations. Extreme weather may also affect the islands internet. Our routers are solar powered so wifi should be working even if there’s power outages. Each casita has a solar powered strip to charge your devices in case of power outages. Insects and Wildlife on the island: Given Ometepe is a Natural Reserve, the island is home to a lot of insects, mammals, birds and reptiles. We have tried to bug proof our indoor facilities as best as we can, but there is still a chance of finding little ants, geckos, an occasional non deadly scorpion or spider amongst others. Luckily these insects are not the quickest, if you find a threatening kind you can either broom it out or send it to heaven. We recommend keeping your doors closed to avoid flying insects going into the house. Please note that during the rainy season the 700 mts of dirt road to our place might be a bit rocky in some parts after heavy rains. Even though it mostly flat and better than many other dirt roads on the island we recommend driving slowly , having a slightly higher vehicle is a plus!

## The Space

Ometepe Casitas offers a cabin with a private kitchen located on a tranquil and picturesque lakefront property in El Peru, Ometepe. Guests can swim at the calm beach while enjoying breathtaking views of both Maderas and Concepcion volcanoes. Kayaks are available for rent, allowing visitors to paddle up the Istian River.

For those wishing to explore the island, scooters can be rented. Alternatively, guests can relax on the beach or terrace, watching the sunset while observing monkeys and hundreds of birds and parrots returning to the nearby trees.

The property includes a lakefront house with a second-floor terrace accessible to guests, a beach gazebo, parking space, and three cabins spaced approximately six meters apart. Each casita accommodates two guests. If you are booking for a larger group, the other two tiny homes are located nearby on the map.

## Location and Access

The property is situated on an island that is a natural reserve, offering a unique environment rich in wildlife. The 700-meter dirt road leading to the casitas is mostly flat and generally better maintained than many other dirt roads on the island. However, after heavy rains, some sections may become rocky. Driving slowly is advised, and a vehicle with slightly higher clearance is beneficial.

## Amenities and Facilities

- Private kitchen in each cabin
- Access to a second-floor terrace
- Beach gazebo for relaxation
- Parking space available
- Kayak rentals for river exploration
- Scooter rentals for island touring
- Solar-powered routers to maintain Wi-Fi during power outages

## Important Notes

Power outages are common during heavy rain, strong winds, or routine network maintenance. The property is equipped with rechargeable fans and lights to help during these times. Although extreme weather may impact the island’s internet, solar-powered routers generally keep Wi-Fi operational even without electricity.

Because Ometepe is a natural reserve, the island hosts a variety of insects, mammals, birds, and reptiles. While the indoor areas have been bug-proofed as much as possible, guests may still encounter small ants, geckos, or occasionally non-venomous scorpions or spiders. These creatures are generally slow-moving and can be removed easily. It is recommended to keep doors closed to prevent flying insects from entering the cabins.

Lakefront cabin in Ometepe’s El Peru offers stunning volcano views, private kitchen, and easy kayak access. Relax on the terrace or beach amid lush wildlife.

Casita # 1 With Kitchen on Lakefront Property - Tiny houses for Rent in Merida, Rivas, Nicaragua

This was by far the best Airbnb experience we had in Nicaragua. The host was very informative and nice, giving us many recommendations and tips for the island. The house and the nature around it are 100% worth it. I would recommend this spot to anyone visiting Ometepe!

We felt so comfortable at the place that we extended our stay by two nights. Communication with Birte and Federico was impeccable - we felt super warmly welcomed. There are countless recommendations from both on what to do on Ometepe. At the same time, both also gave us helpful tips for our onward journey. The place is beautiful. Modern and quiet location; but you can also get to the lively surroundings quickly by scooter. We can only recommend everyone to spend time in the accommodation and with Birte and Federico!

Wir haben uns in der Unterkunft gleich so wohl gefühlt, dass wir unseren Aufenthalt direkt um zwei Nächte verlängerten. Die Kommunikation mit Birte und Federico war einwandfrei - wir haben uns super herzlich empfangen gefühlt. Es gibt von beiden unzählige Empfehlungen, was man auf Ometepe unternehmen kann. Gleichzeitig gaben beide uns auch hilfreiche Tipps für unsere weitere Reise. Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön. Modern und ruhig gelegen; man ist aber mit dem Scooter auch schnell in der belebten Umgebung. Wir können Jedem nur empfehlen Zeit in der Unterkunft und bei Birte und Federico zu verbringen!

The stay was great. Very quiet, perfect for relaxing but also perfectly located for any activities that are easy to reach by ATV or scooter. Accommodation was simple but nice and clean, everything you need for a few great days on Ometepe.

Der Aufenthalt war klasse. Sehr viel Ruhe perfekt zum entspannen aber auch perfekt gelegen für jegliche Aktivitäten die einfach per ATV oder Roller zu erreichen sind. Unterkunft war schlicht aber schön und sauber alles was man braucht für paar tolle Tage auf Ometepe.

Federico and Birte's casitas are real little wonders. They are functional and offer comfort in the middle of the jungle! While swimming in the lake, you can have an extraordinary view of the Conception volcano and the sunset! Birte and Federico are very responsive to help you if needed and they recommend great activities to do! Congratulations to both of you and thank you for this stay

Les casitas de Federico et Birte sont de vraies petites merveilles. Elles sont fonctionnelles et offre un confort en plein cœur de la jungle ! Lors de vos baignades dans le lac, vous pourrez avoir une vue extraordinaire sur le volcan Conception et sur le coucher de soleil ! Birte et Federico sont très réactifs pour vous aider au besoin et ils vous recommandent des belles activités à faire ! Bravo à vous deux et merci pour ce séjour

We loved our stay in Ometepe and the place was perfect. Very clean, well ventilated and very welcoming hosts. The land is beautiful and the surroundings superb. We recommend this Airbnb! 😊 Thanks for the good times.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour à Ometepe et le logement était parfait. très propre, bien aéré et des hôtes très accueillant. Le terrain est magnifique et les environs superbes. Nous recommandons ce Airbnb ! 😊 Merci pour les bons moments.

We loved our stay in our little casita! From the interior to the surrounding, everything was perfect. Birte & Federico are the sweetest hosts, always making sure you have everything you need and helping out with anything! Their place is beautiful, peaceful and super well thought and maintained. You can enjoy your time in the hammock, on the rooftop, playing ping-pong, doing some yoga, swimming, kayaking, etc. It’s a little paradise in the nature with a private access to the lake and the view on the volcanos and for sunset is incredible! Highly recommended! Muchísimas gracias and see you soon

Great place to stay! We had some wonderful time here, Birte and Federico are really nice and friendly hosts, it was really easy to communicate with them and they were always really helpful for anything we needed. Definitely would recommend staying here

i absolutely loved this place! Birte was such an attentive host and i felt so welcome at their place. swimming in the lake and watching the sunset in the rooftop patio  was the highlight.

Great accommodation, great contact with many helpful tips and a place to feel good <3

Tolle Unterkunft, toller Kontakt mit vielen hilfreichen Tipps und ein Ort zum Wohlfühlen <3

Federico’s casita was the best AirBnB we had during our trip in Nicaragua and definitely made our stay in Ometepe memorable. The room is even better than the pictures, super clean with all the basic amenities and more. They even had cold filtered water in the fridge at our arrival. The exterior installations were well-maintained and absolutely stunning with views from both volcanoes. Communications with Federico were easy and he made sure to provide us all the information about the island prior to our stay, including guide contacts and dining spots. The location is ideal and close to great beaches and restaurants. We have absolutely nothing bad to say and cannot recommend it enough. Thank you again for everything!

We loved our stay! The private beach was beautiful and the house was very clean. Federico sent us a detailed description of how to get to the house which made it easy to find. He also sent us a folder of handy tips and things to do in the area and he was very responsive. Thanks a lot!

Together with my sister, I had two wonderful days here. The cottage was as we had hoped and the garden overlooking the volcano was beautiful. Communication with Federico went very well. All in all, a very nice stay.

Samen met mijn zus heb ik hier twee heerlijke dagen gehad. Het huisje was zoals we hadden gehoopt en de tuin met uitzicht op de vulkaan was prachtig. De communicatie met Federico verliep erg fijn. Al met al een zeer fijn verblijf.

Amazing place, it’s so quaint and Frederico was an amazing local host who really enjoys looking after his guests. The Casita is so homily and perfect for anyone looking for a getaway.

Federico was very helpful from the start!! He sent a guide for activities to do on Omotepe and restaurant recommendations! But the real gem is the location! A peaceful oasis just a little further out where you have complete privacy and very own swimming spot on the lake with views of the Vulcan. This is the perfect place to relax and recharge. My advice would be to hire a quad bike as Federico's oasis is located a bit further out but it is not an issue! Gracias por todo Federico

What a beautiful property and a very friendly host. Perfect for a couples get away to relax and be in nature. The only downside is that the quiet hours are 8pm as the owners house is below the communal areas.

Very nice, clean and special design! It's worth it!!

Muy bonita, limpia y diseño especial! Vale mucho la pena!!

The property is about an hour from the port. The area isn't as populated as other parts of the island but you can still find everything you need. The lakeside has beautiful old trees with great views of Concepcion Volcano. I got some of my favorite pictures on the island from this property. The host's house has a large rooftop terrace where we enjoyed watching a rain shower. Even though a storm was blowing in, Birte greeted us upon arrival. The house was just as pictured and had everything we needed. As the listing mentioned, power did go out randomly but battery backups were supplied for lighting and the WiFi was on solar and never went out. The tiny houses are relatively close to each other so be respectful with noises made outside at night. Also, Birte provided all the information you need to know about the house and area prior to arrival. Our stay here was the highlight of our trip!

Ometepe casitas was great! One of the best locations in the island, between the two volcanos (geat views all over!) and close to the main touristic attractions. Birte was there to welcomed us and showed us around their incredible property. The little casita has everything that you need, with a fully equipped kitchen, big shower and a powerful ceiling fan. Also it was one of the cleanest places that we’ve seen in Central America 🤗 The best part of this place is the stunning terrace with the Maderas in the background and the private beach with the Conception right in front, you’ll get your best photos without even leaving the property 😉

The stay with Paul Federico was fantastic. The location is very quiet and private, yet the other casitas do not make you feel alone and very comfortable. The house was equipped with everything and very clean. The co-host was always available and gave us tips for the area. I 100% recommend the AirBnb!

Der Aufenthalt bei Paul Federico war fantastisch. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und Privat, trotzdem fühlt man sich durch die anderen Casitas nicht alleine und sehr wohl. Das Haus war mir allem ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Der Co-Host war immer erreichbar und gab uns Tipps für die Gegend. Ich empfehle das AirBnb zu 100%!

We had a lovely stay at here. The hosts were so accommodating about changing our reservation dates a couple times last minute. We appreciated their communication and recommendations during our stay. We rented a scooter so we had no issues getting around. The beach and covered rooftop were grea amenities we enjoyed every night. If you can go without A/C we recommend staying here!

The best place to sleep in Ometepe with private beach and amazing sunsets

המקום הכי טוב לישון באומטפה עם חוף פרטי ושקיעות מדהימות

The accommodation was very nicely located. There was private access to the lake, which was inviting to swim. The terrace was also very nice! The hosts went to great lengths and we felt very welcome. We would come back.

Die Unterkuft war sehr schön gelegen. Es gab einen privaten Zugang zum See, welcher einladend war zu schwimmen. Die Terrasse war auch sehr nice! Die Gastgeber haben sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben und man hat sich sehr willkommen gefühlt. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

We absolutely loved the house. The design is beautiful, the beach is lovely, and the terrace is a perfect place to relax. Communication was quick and easy, and the location is great—this part of the island feels more natural and peaceful. Great price - quality ratio

Incredible stay in a very comfortable, clean and well equipped cabaña. Shared spaces are also amazing with private beach area to swim and watch sunset. We loved enjoying our morning coffee on the top deck. Paradise.

Amazing stay. Super chill and relaxed the owners are very friendly and welcoming. Had a great time.

A beautiful piece of Nicaragua, with everything you need for a good rest.

Un precioso pedazo de Nicaragua, con todo lo necesario para un buen descanso.

Very nice accommodation! Hosts were super nice and could offer many tips and help. There is a small "private" beach... the sunset is really fantastic. Highly recommended!

sehr schöne unterkunft! gastgeber waren super nett und konnten viele Tipps und Hilfe anbieten. Es gibt einen eignen kleinen „privaten“ Strand.. der Sonnenuntergang ist wirklich traumhaft. sehr zu empfehlen!

Federico and Birte are very nice and helpful! The way to the place is a bit demanding, but it's worth it! The grill right on the lake was my highlight! It may happen that you encounter some animals, but Federico had pointed this out and we were lucky and had no uninvited guests. All in all a great place to stay!

Federico und Birte sehr nett und hilfsbereit! Der Weg zur Unterkunft ist wtwas anspruchsvoll, aber es lohnt sich! Der Grill direkt am See war mein Highlight! Kann vorkommen, dass man einigej Tieren begegnet, aber darauf hatte Federico hingewiesen und wir hatten Glück und hatten keine ungebetenen Gäste. Alles in allem eine super Unterkunft!

Great stay at Frederico and Birte's in a little piece of heaven! They are very welcoming and gave us all the good recommendations for visiting the island. The accommodation is very clean and very convenient with everything to make food. Small downside on 2-3 missing amenities such as somewhere to hang laundry or more blackout curtains for a little more privacy with the 2 other adjacent casitas. Everything else was absolutely perfect with the highlight of the show, the private beach overlooking the Conception volcano and the fantastic sunset right in front. Most beautiful view of the island in my opinion. As a bonus, a family of howler monkeys in the tree just above with whom we share the sunset. What a dream! I would recommend it 100%

Super séjour chez Frederico et Birte dans un petit coin de paradis ! Ils sont très accueillants et nous ont donné toutes les bonnes recommandations pour visiter l'île. Le logement est très propre et très pratique avec tout pour se faire à manger. Petit bémol sur 2-3 équipements manquants comme de quoi étendre du linge ou des rideaux plus occultants pour un peu plus d'intimité avec les 2 autres casitas adjacentes. Tout le reste était absolument parfait avec comme clou du spectacle, la plage privée avec vue sur le volcan Conception et le coucher de soleil fantastique pile en face. Plus belle vue de l'île à mon avis. En prime, une famille de singes hurleurs dans l'arbre juste au-dessus avec qui on partage le coucher de soleil. Le rêve ! Je recommande à 100%

Everything’s was great, except that the WiFi didn’t reach our house, which made watching videos in bed not possible unfortunately

Hi Carlotta! Thanks for your nice review! you are always welcome here :) We are working to improve and place an extra router for each casita for perfect signal. We haven’t had major complains on the wifi in this casita, but maybe some devices have better reach than others. Either way we are aiming to improve:) Thanks for your feedback and have safe travels !

A great place to stay, directly with access to Lake Nicaragua and a great facility. Highly recommended!

Eine großartige Unterkunft, direkt mit Zugang zum Nicaraguasee und toller Anlage. Sehr empfehlenswert!

It’s a very beautiful location, there is a hammock and beach access and it looks over the volcano with beautiful sunsets. The host are very proactive and responsive. They actually sent a guide ahead of time that was very helpful with things to do and how to get there and a very detailed map that showed exactly how to get there. A scooter, atv or motorcycle is the best way to get around the island. Very clean and comfortable unit. There was a stove to cook as well. Hosts were so friendly, I would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

Our stay at Ometepe Casitas was amazing from start to finish - we wish we could have stayed longer. The hosts were so helpful and welcoming. The casita was beautiful and clean and was set up perfectly. Cannot recommend enough. Thanks for a fab stay!

Staying at Federico and Berte’s place was an absolute dream! The photos don’t do it justice – the space is even more beautiful in person, offering incredible value for money. From the moment we arrived, they went above and beyond to make our stay special. They provided detailed instructions and fantastic local tips, making it so easy to explore Ometepe. Their hospitality was unmatched – they even brought us fresh melon and took the time to stop for chats, making us feel truly welcome. The location is heaven, with the most breathtaking sunset views we’ve seen on the island. This was, without a doubt, the best place we’ve stayed on our travels. If you’re visiting Ometepe, don’t think twice – book this place!

The best hosts we ever had! Frederico and Birte are the most amazing hosts. They gave us PLENTY of information, they answered all the questions and provided us with the contacts of the best people to move around the island, hire scooters and organise our days. They are awesome people. The casita is great, super super clean, with everything you may need to cook or just relax. Their place is a bit secluded but lots to do around and with a scooter you can go anywhere. We wish we could stay longer, honestly do not look for another place is the area, just go there. We recommend at 10000%

Great stay in Ometepe! Quiet and peaceful place, the view, the fauna, the flora: wow, beautiful. Communication was easy with Birte and Paul Frederico!

Superbe séjour à Ometepe! Endroit calme et paisible, la vue, la faune, la flore : wow, magnifique. La communication était facile avec Birte et Paul Frederico!

Lovely Airbnb exactly as shown in the picture. Beautiful location by the lake with beautiful sunset. Scooter is needed to get around the island. If I come back to Ometepe, I will definitely book this location again!

Heerlijke Airbnb precies zoals op de foto. Mooie locatie bij het meer met prachtige zonsondergang. Scooter is wel nodig om het eiland te verkennen. Als ik terugkom op Ometepe boek ik zeker weer deze locatie!

Some of the best host I ever had on airbnb. Federico and Birte were so lovely, helped us out with everything you can think of and responded within minutes to every question we had. The cabins and the property in general is a paradise of beautiful plants and has its private little beach. We totally recommend spending your time on Ometepe at Federicos place!

We had a lovely stay in this air bnb, it was definitely one of my favourites in our trip! The hosts were very kind and the views were gorgeous. I’ve never felt so at peace on the hammock watching the sun set. We saw monkeys in the trees too! The casita was very clean and very bug proof!! Thank you again 😊

Amazing casita right by the water! Newly built, incredibly clean and comfortable, with stunning views. Federico was an outstanding host. He was super welcoming and friendly, and provided so much helpful information. Highly recommend!

What can I say, this was a perfect Airbnb, with a perfect host. Not only was he responsive, he was very detailed on what to do on the island, and even while he was in another country, he answered our questions within a few moments. I highly recommend this Airbnb. If I could live at this spot, I would. Thanks my friend for the great stay.

Great place to stay in very nice surroundings. Apartment is functional and nicely designed. The garden with direct access to the lake incl. Terrace is fantastic.

Tolle Unterkunft in sehr schöner Umgebung. Das Apartment ist funktional und schön gestaltet. Der Garten mit direktem Zugang zum See inkl. Terrasse ist traumhaft.

Federico’s place was absolutely stunning—we would stay there again in a heartbeat! The Airbnb was spotless, and while we were initially concerned about the lack of AC, it turned out to be unnecessary. The breeze from the open windows, combined with the fan, kept the room perfectly cool and comfortable. To get around, you’ll need a scooter, motorbike, or quad, but a lot of the main attractions—like the waterfall, Ojo de Agua, kayaking spots, and Chocolate Paradise—are within a convenient ~20-minute ride. Overall, it’s the perfect relaxing & peaceful spot. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay. Federico was great, gave us lots of great tips for the area and was immediately available and reliable for any questions. The apartment and the entire property are beautiful and offer plenty of space for privacy and relaxation. At night you can see fireflies and monkeys.

Tolle Unterkunft. Federico war super, hat uns viele tolle Tipps für die Gegend gegeben und war bei allen Fragen sofort erreichbar und zuverlässig. Das Apartment und das gesamte Grundstück sind wunderschön und bieten viel Raum für Privatsphäre und Entspannung. Nachts kann man Glühwürmchen und Affen sehen.

We had an extraordinary stay with Federico! The place felt like it was in the jungle, offering great privacy. Federico was extremely friendly and attentive, even giving us bananas from his backyard. The location was perfect, very close to everything with a motorbike, and the place itself was the nicest on the island, newly built and beautifully maintained. Highly recommend!

This was such an amazing experience! It’s an absolutely beautiful place to stay, with an amazing beach and beautiful view. Our host Federico was beyond amazing, very friendly and easy to communicate with! He gave us all the best tips for navigating the island, from transportation to finding the best spots! Would highly recommend if you are looking for a nice relaxing getaway!

Very nice host, always helpful, gave us very good tips, also for our further trip. Even drove our luggage from the harbor to the accommodation and so we could enjoy the great area. Very clean space with a lot of privacy. Everything was wonderful

Sehr netter Gastgeber, immer hilfsbereit, hat uns sehr gute Tipps gegeben, auch für unsere weitere Reise. Hat sogar unser Gepäck vom Hafen zur Unterkunft gefahren und somit konnten wir schonmal die tolle Gegend genießen. Sehr saubere Unterkunft mit viel Privatsphäre. Einfach alles war wunderbar

Exzellent Host! Excellent location Casitas are small but well designed. Very clean architecture. Apartment was clean, however it would have be great that from time to time clean the apartment / empty bins. Common area is very nice, maybe a few more seatings on the roof to view the sunset! We can fully recommend this place! Book it!

We enjoyed the stay in our apartment in a beautiful landscape on Ometepe. Federico and his wife Birte are nice hosts who are very communicative and provide all necessary information upfront. During the stay they are trying to meet all your needs and wishes. The location of the bungalow is isolated on the island, as most of the neighborhoods, but has nice little local shops and few restaurants and bars around. A high car or motorcycle should be considered for traveling there, instead the hosts are happy to assist in organizing a smoothly-going shuttle ride. Many thanks for having us in this very special place!

We had a great stay in ometepe!! The owners welcomed us friendly and were super helpful. Also they responded super quickly and had all kinds of great tips for things to do. The owners helped us with scooter rent, taxi and more. They even gave us some tips for our next destination in Nicaragua. The houses are really clean and have everything you need. The houses are nearby (15min walk) mango beach, so you can enjoy the beautifull sunset every night. I would definitely recommend this stay!!!

We had a wonderful stay in Mérida! The house has everything you need, is super clean and you will feel right at home. Also Frederico and Birte are very nice and will assist you with anything you need! Thank you!

A paradise. Beautiful private place. With private water access. Great starting point for activities. Everything can be found in the property and the kitchen is also very well equipped. Federico was very helpful with any question we had. Even after the stay, he gave us tips for our next destination. The place itself is so nice that you can easily stay there too. The sunset terrace is so idyllic - birds fly around, monkeys climb trees, and fireflies fly around.

Ein Paradies. Wunderschöner privater Ort. Mit eigenem Wasserzugang. Super Ausgangspunkt für Aktivitäten. In der Unterkunft ist alles zu finden und die Küche ist auch sehr gut ausgestattet. Federico war sehr hilfsbereit zu jeder Frage die wir hatten. Selbst nach dem Aufenthalt hat er uns Tipps für unsere nächstes Ziel gegeben. Die Unterkunft ist selbst so schön, dass man gut auch dort einfach verweilen kann. Die Terrasse für den Sonnenuntergang ist so idyllisch - Vögel fliegen rum, Affen klettern auf Bäumen und Glühwürmchen fliegen rum.

Beautiful waterfront location with amazing sunset! I can recommend Casitas Ometepe.

Prachtige locatie aan het water met waanzinnige zonsondergang! Ik kan Casitas Ometepe aanraden.

Had an amazing stay ! The Airbnb was spotless and with great kitchen equipment for cooking, had everything you would need. Federico was so welcoming and helpful and made the stay all the more enjoyable ! Highly recommend!
