Stay in an eco-friendly ecocasa near Playa Maderas. Tired of cramped lodging in town or on the beach? Rent a two bedroom ecocasa by the day, week or month and share an oceanview pool with your neighbors. Ecocasas on a ridge between Playa Majagual and Playa Maderas give you easy access to San Juan del Sur's best surf breaks in the morning or at sunset. Ride the beach shuttles or water taxi from San Juan del Sur to your little piece of paradise.
Considering a move to a slower, more earth-friendly life-style? Try life here in the slow lane for a week or two. Catch every wave. Wiggle your toes in the sand. Count the monkeys and parrots during breakfast, eat lunch at Pitahaya Vaya under a palapa on the beach.
Do you want to know where your food comes from? Visit our community farm and learn how we grow our own fruits, vegetables and landscaping plants.
Experience life in an ecological reserve teeming with wildlife and natural beauty. This small, private neighborhood has been custom designed using green building concepts, native hardwoods and stone.

Vacation in the progressive community of Balcones at Majagual, 30 miles from the Costa Rican border and located in the lush Pacific coastal region, nestled amongst abundant flora and fauna on rolling hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean 12 km north of San Juan Del Sur.
Experience seclusion and privacy amidst an exotic landscape steps from the beach. We have monkeys, sea turtles, surf breaks, hiking, kayaking, sunsets, quiet, tropical forests, and especially beaches. Yet, our proximity to the lively beach town of San Juan del Sur allows for markets, restaurants, bars and entertainment.
4WD is recommended on the roads outside San Juan del Sur and within our community. In most ecocasas, solar hot water and battery backup systems keep the lights on, the refrigerator cold and the showers hot when local power is disrupted. House includes concierge service, maid service and 24 hour security.
