The Space

Welcome to your coastal sanctuary! Escape to our enchanting traditional home, where breathtaking views and a true getaway from the hustle and bustle await you. Only 2 minutes from the stunning Playa Rosada, this spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom gem is spread over two lots, offering plenty of room to relax and unwind in a secure luxury development.

This home is geared towards those who value simplicity, timeless beauty, nature, and adventure. It has been well-loved by my family since May 2023 and, like most Nicaraguan homes, comes with its quirks. Some things to be aware of include:

• There is no television, but we do have high-speed fiber optic internet that allows you to stream on your personal device.
• We do not have a dishwasher, but we offer a cleaning service three times per week (days can be reduced if you prefer your privacy).
• We have a washer but no dryer; clothes are hung on the line. If you would like anything washed, please allow our housekeeper to do it for you, or you can hand wash and hang them yourself.
• A portion of our house is open air, which means little critters might come for a visit. Please keep all food closed off in the kitchen at the end of the day to prevent nighttime visits.

Other quirks of being in Nicaragua include:

• Sometimes the power goes out for random amounts of time. We do have a battery backup that allows you to run most appliances, except for the air conditioning.
• You might have to go to multiple stores for groceries. Message your host for recommendations to make your stay as easy and comfortable as possible.
• You are surrounded by nature, so you might encounter mosquitoes, spiders, raccoons, and feral cats (most of these are harmless).
• You might see cows, pigs, dogs, or chickens crossing the road around town, which can occasionally hold up traffic.
• The local food scene may not be what you're used to, but we have plenty of recommendations for tasty options.

Remember that this is our family home that we are opening up to you with love and is not intended to be a perfect luxury hotel. The price reflects these quirks, and for access to Rancho Santana, it is a good deal.
