The Space
Escape the busy pace of everyday life in this newly renovated, luxurious two-bedroom lakefront home situated on the beautiful Ometepe Island. Whether traveling solo, as a couple, or with a group, this house is designed to accommodate all your needs.
Upon arrival, you will be greeted by stunning gardens and an infinity pool overlooking the lake. This private residence is one of the few on Ometepe to feature a pool, surrounded by a mature garden filled with fruit trees bearing mangoes and coconuts, fragrant herbs, and vibrant flowers.
The property is located within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, bringing wildlife right to your doorstep. You may spot the distinctive Yellow-naped Parrots, locally known as Lora Nuca Amarilla, flying overhead. Howler monkeys often visit the mango trees during the fruiting season, and cows, pigs, chickens, and turkeys can be seen wandering nearby.
Relax in a hammock or on wooden rocking chairs on the outdoor patio. The infinity pool is accessible directly from the front porch and includes two shallow sections of varying depths, ideal for sunbathing or children’s play. A bench in the deeper end offers a perfect spot to enjoy breathtaking sunsets over the lake.
Inside, the house offers a luxurious tropical oasis with a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience created by opening the front double doors. The spacious open-plan living area features bright white walls adorned with tropical bird-themed artwork.
The fully equipped kitchen includes new stainless steel appliances such as a refrigerator with freezer, a six-burner stove with oven, and a microwave. You will find everything needed to prepare meals using fresh tropical ingredients. The unique dining table, crafted from a live edge wood slab, comfortably seats six and is one of several special Nicaraguan handicrafts throughout the home.
The living room prioritizes comfort with a sofa set and a pull-out sofa, ensuring ample seating for everyone. On quiet evenings or rainy days, enjoy movies on the Smart TV or browse local cable channels. The house is equipped with 20 Mbps fiber optic internet and a battery backup, allowing uninterrupted work or entertainment online.
The master bedroom is located on the ground floor and includes a queen bed and a full-size wardrobe. This room is slightly larger than the second bedroom and features both air conditioning and a ceiling fan. Screened windows allow you to enjoy breezy nights with fresh lake air and jungle sounds, enabling restful sleep without air conditioning.
Upstairs, accessed via a distinctive iron spiral staircase, the loft room contains another queen bed and bunk beds. Although this room is not air-conditioned, the entire outer wall is a screened door that opens to an upper deck. This deck is ideal for sunrise yoga or relaxing in a hammock in the evening after a day of activities.
The bathroom is located on the first floor and has been recently retiled with traditional ceramic tiles. It features an adjustable hot water shower. Additionally, there is a second outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off after swimming or hiking.
Location
The house is situated on a paved road just 1.5 kilometers from Balgue, a small local town. Balgue offers the trailhead for hiking the Maderas volcano and a natural spring for swimming. Numerous restaurants and small stores are nearby, providing options for dining out or cooking at home.
While some attractions are within walking distance, Ometepe is a large island, and taxi services can be costly. For broader exploration, it is recommended to bring your own vehicle or rent one during your stay. Assistance with organizing tours or transportation is available upon request.

Other Things to Note
Ometepe is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with diverse wildlife, including many insects. While most insects are harmless, some may bite or sting. The house is screened to minimize insect entry, but some may still get inside. It is advisable to close doors around sunset and avoid eating on the sofas to prevent attracting ants.

Very disappointed; wish someone had warned us. While the location is pretty, that is the only positive. Shortly after arrival, the power cut out unexpectedly & repeatedly throughout our stay, cutting the lights, fans, AC, WiFi & running water. The host just directed us to a router battery pack. It is misleading & cruel to not warn guests about frequent outages that leave you without necessities!! in a dark jungle. To add, the bug infestation is EGREGIOUS. Huge pregnant spiders, hornets, cockroaches & mosquitoes EVERYWHERE. Swarms upstairs forced us all to pack into the downstairs bedroom (the only room w/ AC btw). The pest control & sealing are incredibly poor. Cleanliness was also poor; the bathroom, stove & amenities were dirty & dishes were covered in dust & bugs. The cleaner would come & no difference would be made. Note that multiple workers show up daily & TV apps do not work except YouTube. Also, a friendly cat lives/eats here & lays on the furniture - beware if allergic.

Its a very nice house located in the best area of Ometepe (in my personal opinion) but I would suggest adding a mesh to the main door so that the bugs dont come in that easily. Also potentially adding a air conditioning for the upstairs bedroom, and just make sure that the mesh below the roof are well positioned so that bugs dont enter. Besides that, everything was clean, the pool was clean, bathroom was clean. Would totally recommend if you have no issues with bugs at night and throughout the day

Добрый день, мы были очень разочарованы своим выбором. Бассейн грязный. В доме было очень грязно, пыль, тараканы кукарача, паутина, пол вообще не мыт, туалет тоже был грязный. Посуда очень грязная, прежде чем что то взять, нужно было отмыть. Средства для мытья посуды не было, губки не было, пакетов для мусора не было. Написав хозяйке, она быстро реагировала, пришла помощница, но вместо моющего средства принесла нам стиральный порошок, я в шоке. Обещали что придут утром прибрать, но так никто и не пришел. С детьми лучше не выбирать это жильё, так как мы не спали всю ночь из-за тараканов, которые ползали по ребёнку. Впервые за наши путешествия, я была очень разочарована домом.

It didn't meet our expectations in terms of the value for the price. The photos misrepresented the reality a bit. It was not clean and very open to hot air and bugs. We should've read more closely to see there is only AC in one bedroom. There was also a cat inside when we arrived and one of our party is allergic. On the plus side, the pool is very nice and well maintained and the surroundings are beautiful.

Sally's home on Ometepe Island was beautiful. The natural surroundings are exactly what you visit this island for. The home is one of the more modern on the island and the only one with a pool we could find. The back patio and pool area overlooking Lake Nicaragua are a great place to relax and enjoy the birds and monkeys. I would highly recomend.

Hele mooie buitenruimte, rustig gelegen, midden in de natuur, proper zwembad. Snel responsieve verhuurders. De ruimte is langs het dak gewoon open dus kunnen er zo beestjes binnen. Paar keer geen water gehad, wc dat niet doorspoelde waardoor nadien de grond onder water stond. Niet echt propere binnenruimte.
