Location: Jiquilillo, Nicaragua, Central America (Jiquilillo is About an Hour Northwest of Chinandega City) View Map
Accommodations: Beach House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 6)
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 provides the perfect balance between private beach and an active village that can provide everything 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 a couple minutes south, down the beach, is a turtle reserve. And close by is the Padre Ramos Wetlands Reserve. 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 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.
The people are warm and friendly. 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. Close by Rancho Esperanza also offers inexpensive meals and coffee. Both places offer tours of the local area.

Why the Owner Chose Jiquilillo
I chose to buy this property and have the house built because it's beautiful, sunny, tranquil and near my grandson and his family.
The Unique Benefits at this Beach House
Relaxing, relaxing, relaxing. My family, the beach, pelicans, ocean, sun, food. What more can I say?
As you take the main road into Jiquilillo, we are on the left after the school, just before you reach town.
Owner's Map of Jiquilillo
I am a 95 year old woman whose grandson owns Nicaragua Escapes, a surfing lodge and restaurant, in northern Nicaragua. I fell in love with the area, and with the help of my son, designed and built, my beach house. This has been a family adventure with 4 generations involved at this point. I'm happy to be able to share the beauty of this place with others through my beach house. I hope you find the same kind of contentment I find while I'm there.
