Accommodations: Large Private Residence B & B, 1 Bedroom + Other (See Description), 4 Baths (Sleeps 14)
Casa Iguana Mar y Sol is a large, new, private house which was built with 5 separate entry suites. It is a three-story property with spacious living units and unbelievable views of the Pacific Ocean and marina. Casa Iguana Mar y Sol is only 100 meters from the shoreline and is the finest, most carefully finished property on the island of San Cristobal. Each of the second-floor suites has a private entrance, private bathroom (with warm-water shower) and spacious sitting area. All suites open onto a large, covered walkway with balcony seating.
Guests are invited to use a shared bar and kitchen area on the Terrace Floor (third-floor) where breakfast will be provided daily. An elegant Honeymoon/Penthouse Suite is completed on the third-floor. Rental is available per-suite; contact us for special pricing on rental for an extended stay. I will meet my private clients at the airport if desired.
