Guanacaste Eco-Casita House

Overall, I think the Eco Casitas are a great option for family vacations in Iguana Beach, and Randy's property is very well located.

En general creo que las eco casitas son una excelente opción para vacacionar en familia en Iguana Beach y la propiedad de Randy está muy bien ubicada.

The place was perfect!!! One of the best Airbnbs we’ve rented in Central America!! And what can I say about the impeccable service provided by Jhezlia, the property manager? Excellent communication and very dedicated to guest comfort!! I would 110% recommend it.

Le logement était parfait !!! Un des meilleurs airbnb que nous avons loué en Amérique centrale!! Et que dire du service impeccable de Jhezlia , la gérante de l emplacement. Communication excellente et très dévoué au confort des clients !! Je recommande à 110%

Great place, clean, close to the beach by bike and with use of great swimming pool, Randy and team always responsive

Eco-house #3 is very comfortable, spacious and has everything you need for a great stay. And Randy and Jhezelia's service was excellent. The place is amazing. I really liked everything. There were all the necessary household utensils. Approved

A ecocasita#3 é muito confortável, espaçosa e com tudo que é necessário para uma ótima estadia. E o atendimento de Randy e da Jhezelia foi excelente. O lugar é incrível. Gostei muito de tudo. Havia todos os utensílios domésticos necessários. Aprovada

Awesome experience! Great Host and great house!

Great place to stay, close to everything you need.. Apartment was well stocked and comfortable!! Extremely helpful with letting me check-in early and checkout late. Would definitely stay again!!

Excellent hosts, very nice and pleasant house, everything was as indicated. We loved the house.

Excelentes anfitriones, casa muy linda y agradable, todo estaba a como se indicaba. Nos encanto la casa.

Great house in a beautiful location. Very comfortable for our family of 4. The house was the cleanest we’ve had in nica

Our stay at the eco-casita was very nice. It has a nice pool right behind and the salty koala has good food and drinks. Randy was very responsive and put me in contact with Jhezlia the property manager who was absolutely incredible. She arranged transportation for us and was very responsive. We had a few minor issues, such as no propane but after messaging her they showed up in just a few minutes to change it out. It is a very friendly neighborhood and not far from the beach, maybe 15min walk. Only recommendation would be more than 1 towel per person or a place to do laundry or at minimum a clothesline. Other than that everything was great! Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay. The gated community felt very safe and we enjoyed surfing, the beautiful beach, the pool, great restaurants nearby and cruising with the bikes that were available too!

Great Place in hacienda Iguana. Ideal for a fanily of four. Near the shops to buy food. Randy and the landlady where very helpful. I strongly recommend.  You can walk to the surfing spots, or you can go by bike (there were bikes in the house).

The house is located in a very nice green plant environment the feeling of entering the house and seeing the plants is fantastic It has two bikes that are great to move around there Very good stay

La casa está en un entorno de plantas verdes muy linda la sensación de entrar a la casa y ver las plantas es fantástica Tiene dos bicis que son estupendas para moverte por allí Muy buen hospedaje

Everything was great!  really enjoyed our stay

Beautiful house and surroundings. Owners and team are helpful and responsive. The place is super kid friendly. Our favorite place to stay at playa Colorado!

Beautiful surroundings, with a 10/10 restaurant called the Salty Koala down a short pathway right out the back door. Beautiful natural looking pool steps from the back porch. Backyard patio was a nice private spot for night caps with friends. The casita itself was clean smelt fresh and had everything you need for home cooking. The bikes are nice to have since the closest beach was approximately 10 min walk. We rented a moto from the surf shop for a week because it was easier with small kids to transport them around in the heat. The beach club was farther away, approx 20min walk. The beach club has a volleyball net, hammocks, infinity pool overlooking the ocean, fresh water river flowing into the ocean (this river was great for the kids to play in), little playground, restaurant, bar, washrooms& turtle sanctuary. Jhezlia was terrific and was responsive to all the queries we had. She set us up with a hired chef who got groceries and cooked for us. 10/10.

Great location. Right next to a restaurant where you can get great food and drinks. 2 min ride to the beach. Great stay.

Great place, will definitely be returning!

A couple of friends and I stayed here to be close to the nearby surf - We had motos so it made for a quick 5 min ride to Colorado and/or Panga Drops, while even closer to food and drink "downtown". The place was super comfortable and we loved coming back to it after long days surfing. The pool was the perfect temp, and the covered back patio was where we spent most of our time. The local property manager was very sweet and extremely responsive which was great. Highly recommend!

Great home base for time at the beach. Manager was prompt when responding.

Awesome stay, we’ll be back for sure. Quiet and tucked away, 5 min walk from the beach and close to the stores. Iguana brewery has the best burritos. Great communication by David and Randy and their Nicaraguan contacts.

This is our second time at the Ecocasa and I highly recommend it! Very close to the beach and restaurants or shops of interest. And the price is wonderful!

Es nuestra segunda vez en la Ecocasa y la recomiendo mucho! Queda muy cerca de la playa y de restaurantes o tiendas de interés. Y el precio es maravilloso!

tiny little house tucked into nature... swim pool was nice couldn't really see it from the house but only becaue of the nicely grown tropical feel of the landscape. The Hacienda iguana area was just what we needed to relax for the few days we were there. the beach is nice and very clean. the resort area is probably one of the nicest I'veseen in Nicaragua. no garbage everywhere nice clean and green. road down was smooth. We were able to take our little CRV with no problem. there is a nice little community of all types of people from all over the globe. highly recommend Hacienda iguana area. rent a golf cart, you won't regret it.

Randy’s place is a great landing pad for Hacienda Iguana.  It has everything you could need during your time there.  Internet worked flawlessly and the bikes were so nice to have.   Easy walk/ride to the beach and our kid lived in the pool right in the front door.

The Ecocasita was great! It is furnished with all the necessities, but not cluttered. The house is designed well for lots of airflow and the perfect space for a family. It was very clean and well kept. The landscaping provides lots of privacy from the other casitas and the pool is a nice communal space to get to know the neighbors, which are all very welcoming (some are vacationing and some live there). It is a short walk to the grocery/golf cart rental/surf rental stores and a slightly longer walk to the beach and beach club (but a quick bike ride or golf cart ride).

Excellent choice of accommodation inside Hacienda Iguana, with the bicycles provided you’re at the beach in no time, the house is amazing. Excellent stay.

The Eco House is beautiful; its location is fantastic, safe and stylish! My family and I loved it... It has everything you need to have a great time and rest! I highly recommend it!!!

La Eco Casa está preciosa; su ubicación fantástica, es segura y tiene mucho estilo! A mi familia y a mi nos encanto... Tiene de todo para pasarla rico y descansar! La recomiendo muchísimo!!!

A perfect place for 2-4 people.  Pool was close, AC was strong, house was clean.  We loved the use of the two bicycles and being able to rent additional bike and boogey board for reasonable prices at the store on the resort.  Delicious restaurants and a beautiful beach.  You can walk to the beach but sometimes we rode bikes or drove our car.  Certainly a great space!!

Nice place for enjoying beach life. We had a great time with our family of 6 and even released some turtles back in the sea

Very nice place, the house and excellent management from Jhezelia.

Muy agradable el lugar la casita y excelente administración de parte de Jhezelia.

Amazing Place. Nice cozy eco house with all the essentials. 10/10! Super recommended.

Great little house, just steps away from a great pool. Very comfortable and clean. We hope to stay here again!

Excellent place, very calm and tranquility, in addition to having everything nearby, restaurant,mini supermarket, bicycles, golf carts. The beach is a two-minute drive away.

Excelente lugar, mucha calma y tranquilidad, además de tener todo cerca, restaurante,mini súper, bicicletas, carros de golf. La playa a dos minutos en carro.

Solid 5 stars all the way around. The house was perfect in every way possible. It was extremely close to the restaurants and was a quick and scenic bike ride to the beach. My girlfriend and i loved everything about the place and will 100% be staying there again!

Great place. Very secure. The locals and staff are super friendly and helpful. There are several great places to eat. No need to cook. There were bicycles to get around on or you could rent a golf cart to lug your boards. The house was really nice, fast internet, big TVs and cold AC. The pool was right out the back door with the bar and restaurant next door. Quiet and relaxing with incredible surf everyday. Can’t wait to go back!

We loved the eco casita. It stayed cool and had an open feel. Although the space is small, it was the perfect size for our family of 4. Small is good because less ac power is needed. You can leave it off until you need it. The space cools down quickly after a day in the heat. The pool was right outside the door as well as casa Maderas restaurant. They have a great happy hour. The house has two bikes. I really enjoyed taking an early morning ride before the kids woke. Oh and the back up generator is a plus in Nicaragua 🇳🇮. It keeps the fridge, fans and some lights working, which is super valuable when the electricity goes out.

Casita Guanacaste was very nice, comfortable and close to the wonderful beach. The two restaurants are very close - we had our food delivered to the casita-. The local rep, Jhez, was very informative. We are planning to come back soon. Good experience.

What an amazing stay. Dave and Randy had all the transportation ready for us upon arrival into Managua.  Our driver was waiting in the terminal when we walked out of customs.  The driver stopped at the grocery store on the way to hacienda iguana for food and drinks that we never really used because the restaurants were plentiful and ridiculously inexpensive.  We stayed for a week and every day had a different adventure.  The casita was more like a luxury suite at a resort.  The only thing missing was the hotel lobby and the expensive price tag.  The casita is brand new and fully furnished.  There is an amazing private pool steps from the back porch.  One of the restaurants is opposite the pool. The staff will bring food to the casita. They also know about activities around the compound and booked us a round of golf at the golf club. Every Tuesday is a golf scramble.  We rode the beach bicycles provided by David and Randy to the course.  It was in great shape and only $25.00 per person which included food, drinks and a golf cart.  After golf and every night we went to the beach club for drinks and watched the sunset on the beach.  David arranged for a fishing charter.  We rode the bikes to the beach club and the fishing guide picked us up on the beach in his boat.  After about a two mile run offshore we were thick in the birds and destroyed the tuna.  The Captain told me it was a slow day. The cooler was full in 45 minutes.  We took two Tuna and gave the rest to the Captain.  The kitchen at the casita is fully stocked to make your own meals.  We ate fresh fish for 3 days.  Everything you need is right there.  Bars, beach, fishing and pool.  It was the perfect place to get off the grid  and decompress.  We can’t wait to go back!

excellent, I will really come back many more times, the hospitality and service is the best, everything is within reach, the bar, the pool, the mini-supermarket and the sea, it was spectacular

excelente, realmente volveré muchas veces más, la hospitalidad y la atención es de lo mejor, todo está al alcance, el bar, la piscina, el mini-super y el mar, fue espectacular

Excellent place, the house is super comfortable with a pool a few steps away, the  location of Hacienda Iguana is great, beautiful beach and delicious restaurant food.

Excelente lugar, la casa súper cómoda con piscina a unos pasos, la  ubicación de Hacienda Iguana es estupenda, playa preciosa y la comida de los restaurantes deliciosa.

An excellent beach to relax, the place has the amenities for whatever. 1 minute by car there is a mini super where you can find everything you need and more, just like some restaurants and bars. The house also includes two bicycles that allow you to tour the place in the best way. There are two food spots within walking distance of the house. Very grateful for the hospitality and service offered, I recommend this place to anyone who wants to relax and spend time as a family.

Una excelente playa para relajarse, el lugar tiene las comodidades para lo que sea. A 1 minuto en carro hay un mini super donde podes encontrar todo lo que necesitas y más, igual algunos restaurantes y bares. También la casa incluye dos bicicletas que permiten recorrer el lugar de la mejor manera. Existen dos lugares de comida a pasos de la casa. Muy agradecido con la hospitalidad y servicio ofrecido, les recomiendo a cualquiera que quiera relajarse y pasar en familia este lugar.

I wanted to thank the attention and hospitality. Especially Jhezlia and her husband, from Casa Madera, who gave a lot of attention, care and hospitality to our stay.

This place is paradise!  The property was incredible.  It was clean and close to the beach, local restaurants, outside pool, and golf course.  The community was incredible and very helpful.  If you're looking to get away, surf amazing waves, or play some golf, this is the place to do it.  I will definitely come back.  Dave was also very helpful, quick to respond, and helpful with recommendations.

Hacienda Iguana is a great place and the Eco Casita #3 was set in a perfect spot. Walk to the beach for sunsets. Across the street or out the back porch for restaurants and bars. Walk or ride to the beach club at Playa Colorados. Food really good up at the beach club too. The Eco Casita was great. It had all the amenities we needed and if you have Netflix or Amazon Prime, there are 2 smart TVs. The kitchen is perfect for quiet dinners and morning coffee. There are a couple of small stores where you can gather some supplies for your adventure. This is a great place for not only a surfing vacation but also to just check out and relax. The pool behind the Eco Casita is great for when you get back from the beach. With restaurants right by the house, we were able to grab food and eat on the back porch. Everybody is super nice and so willing to help you have a great trip. The Eco-Casita is the place to be if you want to be within range of a variety of differents surf breaks. Dave or Randy can connect you to a boat captain that also does airport transfers. Super easy to communicate with and very cool. This is the stop for you, if you want relaxation, adventure, authentic Nicaraguan food and to be in the best place in all of Nicaragua. If you don't want the hustle and bustle of other Central American countries, make the Eco Casita #3 the place for your next holiday.
