Beachfront

I was born and raised in San Francisco, CA but both my parents were from Nicaragua. I lived a few years in Managua between the ages of 2-5 years of age but had no memory of living there. Initially, I had no desire to return to Nicaragua and get to know the birthplace of my parents, mainly because of the earthquake and subsequent civil wars, etc. As I became a parent of two, my wife convinced me it would be great for our children to learn of their heritage. At this moment in time, the country had stabilized and I was hearing positive new from family members who had visited recently. I decided it was time and we headed to Nicaragua for the first time. I did not have any set expectations. Even my mother warned me that I wouldn't like it in Nicaragua and that it is not like the states, lots of poverty, etc. Well, I fell in love with Nicaragua almost immediately. Especially with Granada and San Juan del Sur, so much so that four years later we purchased a condo in San Juan del Sur and now we regularly make the annual trek to Nicaragua. The condo is in a great location minus the noise from the night club. Maybe one day I will buy them out and demolish what's there and build more condos, who knows. Regardless, it's a great spot. Unfortunately or maybe fortunately, all the walls were white and the condo did not have much character. Over the years, I have painted the walls and added nice touches throughout the condo. I do my own remodeling so I end up doing something to the place every year I am there. I cannot stress the natural beauty that you will discover in Nicaragua. Yes, it has its problems but still, the people are super friendly and happy go lucky.

The building is one of the few on the beachfront road with the bedrooms in the rear of the condo to help minimize the noise from the street. Being located on the beachfront means you will enjoy incredible sunsets and the location is great as there are restaurants and night spots within steps of the building.
