If your idea of a great vacation is to travel half way around the world to find another Starbuck's, then this is not for you. If, on the other hand, you long to be at the edge of an authentic Nicaraguan fishing village, surf incredible waves by yourself or walk along a beach that Moon Handbook's Travel Guide describes as "relatively deserted, undeveloped and absolutely beautiful. This is a beach like no other.", then this is for you.

This new two bedroom beach house is ideal for families or groups. The master bedroom has its own entry from the beach. The open living/ kitchen area is flexible and can adapt to your needs. This retreat provides the perfect balance between private beach and an active village, with its dirt roads, thatched huts and an old lifestyle that is rapidly disappearing on the coast. There are no stores like you would find in the U.S. but you can find a lot of things you need from its Ventas, the small stores out of private homes, located 3 minutes walk away.

If you get tired of surfing the great waves right off your front porch, turn left at the beach to the turtle reserve with its undisturbed beachfront. Or you can turn right, watch the fisherman launch their pongas (fishing boats) and continue on to the village. Another option is to go to the Padre Ramos Wetlands Reserve, 1 to 5 day kayak tours with an ornithologist are available. This estuary is a "decidedly mellower place to swim than the ocean and is home to all the wildlife-especially birds-you could hope to see", as quoted by Moon's Travel Guide. Or you can lay in the hammock and watch the pelicans fly by.

Surfboards, surfing instruction, surfing and fishing tours, horses and about anything else you want can also be provided by Nicaragua Escapes. You can check their website for more information. They can meet you at the airport and provide transportation to the house and many other services.

You can easily walk to town and the caretaker can help you find your way around town. It's a ten minute walk down the beach to Monty's Surf Camp for a great meal and drinks. Beyond them is a fun place called Rancho Tranquilo, a vegetarian restaurant and bar. Close by Rancho Esperanza also offers internet service, inexpensive meals and coffee. These are English speaking venues, there are also numerous Spanish speaking venues nearby.

If you are a couple or a small family, I would like to recommend my son and daughter in laws house next door (VRBO # 272064). For groups of eight to twelve, rent both.

  • We had a fantastic time in Juquilillo. From watching the local kids play baseball on the beach to surf sessions on the boat to napping in a hammock during the afternoon heat, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in this great house. The estuary is ideal for exploration, and the house is a welcome respite for both the short-term vacationer and long-time traveler. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

  • Staying at this house was truly a great experience. The beach really is deserted, the locals are great, and there is so much to do that is way off the gringo trail. You surf alone in the waters, fish in some incredible waters, snorkle, watch turtles climb up the beach to lay thier eggs, climb multiple volcanos in the area and the list goes on. The area is safe, cheap and incredibly beautiful, and best of all, the house caters to anyone and everyone. Groups of surfers can pile in and thus it will be affordable for the budget travelers. Families with children can fully operate here. And it is the perfect place for a romantic setting. My girlfriend and I have been traveling in Central America for 3 months now, and we have been to all 8 countries. There is absolutely nowhere that I would recomend to anyone over this place.
