Lakefront casita on Ometepe Island with stunning volcano views, private kitchen, and beach access. Enjoy kayaking, wildlife, and serene sunsets in El Peru.
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 enjoy swimming at the calm beach while taking in beautiful views of both Maderas and Concepcion Volcanoes. Kayaks are available for rent to paddle up the Istian River. You can also rent a scooter to explore the island or simply relax on the beach or terrace, watching the sunset as monkeys and hundreds of birds and parrots return 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 casitas spaced about 6 meters apart. Each casita accommodates two guests. For larger groups, the other two tiny homes are located nearby on the map.
Location and Access
The casitas are situated on an island that is a natural reserve, surrounded by abundant wildlife including insects, mammals, birds, and reptiles. The 700-meter dirt road leading to the property is mostly flat and better maintained than many other island roads, but after heavy rains, some rocky patches may appear. Driving slowly is advised, and a vehicle with slightly higher clearance is beneficial.
Amenities and Features
- Private kitchen in each casita
- Access to a second-floor terrace
- Beach gazebo for relaxation
- Parking space available
- Kayak rental for river exploration
- Scooter rental for island touring
- Solar-powered routers ensuring Wi-Fi availability even during power outages
- Solar-powered charging strips in each casita for device charging during outages
- Rechargeable fans and lights provided in each casita for use during power interruptions
Important Notes
Power outages are common during heavy rains, strong winds, or routine network maintenance. The property is equipped with rechargeable fans and lights to help during these times. Although the islandâs internet may be affected by extreme weather, solar-powered routers help maintain connectivity.
As the island is a natural reserve, some insects and small wildlife may occasionally enter the indoor spaces despite efforts to bug-proof the casitas. You might encounter ants, geckos, or occasionally non-dangerous scorpions or spiders. It is recommended to keep doors closed to prevent flying insects from entering. If you find any threatening insects, you can remove them safely.
Please be aware that during the rainy season, the dirt road to the property may become rough in spots, so caution is advised when driving.

The property was amazing, felt like our little piece of paradise. The photos & description reflect the actual property. It was comfy and well laid out, really efficient use of space. A nice extra touch is the filtered bottle water in the fridge. Having access to the private beach area by the lake made for stunning sunset views as well as star gazing at night, especially on the terrace of the ownerâs own property. The host Birte was fantastic. Her instructions to arrive at the property were clear so much so that we found it with ease when we first arrived at night. Birte provided great recommendations for food and things to do including a guide to hike Concepcion volcano, as well well as recommendations for our onwards journey after leaving Ometepe. However Birte really went over and beyond when helping us with the ferry crossing as we were unable to get tickets initially but Birte provided some solid advice, and helped navigate the ordeal. A real personal touch as a host.

We spent 4 nights here to explore Ometeppe and loved the Casita and location. It was very clean and nice,and the hosts were so friendly with lots of great local suggestions. The location is terrific, with sunset views and lots of wildlife in the surrounding trees. We loved going up to the rooftop in the morning to see the howler monkeys and birds! We would highly recommend for anyone coming to Ometeppe!

We had a wonderful time in the casita of Federico and Birte. We received a lot of clear information in advance about the stay and about the area. Upon arrival we received a tour from Birte over the grounds with beautiful views over the lake. The casita was sparkling clean, fully met our expectations and was definitely worth the money. Occasionally the power may go out, but this has been warned in advance and the casita is equipped with battery-powered fans. Federico had given us a few recommendations for restaurants. These were great. To be able to see Ometepe completely, I recommend renting a scooter. Federico and Birte's contact person brings and retrieves the scooters. All in all a superb experience.

One of the nicest/coolest Airbnbs I have stayed at. The architecture is really amazing and itâs located on such a nice property. The sunset from the waterfront is next level. Federico and Birte are the friendliest hosts - they made sure I had everything I needed (and giving me recommendations), and are honestly such kind people. I had the pleasure of having great conversations with them over drinks while watching the sunset, as well as going kayaking and fishing. I highly recommend staying with them if you are on Ometepe!!

This stay was absolutely incredible! Our hostâs went above and beyond from start to finish. They truly took the time to get to know usđTheir itinerary was the best weâve ever received it laid out everything from how to get there, to local food spots, must-see places, and personal recommendations that made our trip unforgettable. The property itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and the views were stunning. You can tell so much care and love goes into hosting here. We felt completely at home and cared for. If youâre lucky enough to book this place do it! Easily one of our favorite stays ever! Thank you Birte & Federico

Awesome experience, everything was perfect. The apartment had a very nice private beach, I really regret not spending more time there. I loved all the helpful information that we were sent before arrival. Truly recommend this place for everyone!

Very nice and quiet place... Paul and his wife are very friendly and attentive. The only issue is the heat inside the house, an A/C should be installed. Otherwise, I have nothing to point out, everything is impeccable.
