Casa Tranquila - Relax in our beachfront home
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
Casa Tranquila is a quiet escape with great surf, undeveloped beaches, and a serene environment just steps out the front door. Our guests appreciate the tranquility and privacy of the community, sea turtle conservation, the ocean, and feeling disconnected from everything.
Long term stays welcome! Reliable internet, diverse shopping options and all services are available in Managua just 40 min away.
The ocean, just a few steps from the house, is a source of endless wonder: long walks on the beach, spectacular sunrise and sunset, safe wading for the whole family, horseback riding, bodyboarding and fun surf.
Casa Tranquila is in perfect condition both inside and out. It is approximately 1000 square feet with large outdoor patios on both the front and back of the home. The front patio looks out at the ocean and features a handmade dining table and adirondack chairs - perfect for morning coffee or watching the sunset. The patio also offers several hammocks for lounging after a perfect surf session or delicious local meal.
Stepping inside, the main living area consists of an open kitchen with island and comfortable living room. The kitchen comes equipped with everything you'll need: fridge, stove, coffee maker, barbecue.
Off the main living area are the master suite and guest bedroom and bath. Both bedrooms furnished with king-size canopy beds. All are spacious and inviting and perfect place to lay your head at the end of each day. All rooms have high cathedral ceilings finished in local hardwood and cane.
The property manager is fluent in English, Spanish and French and will strive to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Guests may submit a grocery list and have their food and drinks in the house upon arrival. Guests of Casa Tranquila may utilize the services from Los Cardones Ecolodge which is a short walk from the house. Services include restaurant, surf board rentals, surf lessons, child care, day excursions, yoga and more. Also nearby is the Gran Pacifica resort with a golf course on the ocean.

Wonderful Break
Delightful property 150 steps from the ocean. Very reasonable long term rates.
The host (Laure) is the best.
The only downside for the squeamish, is no A/C. I personally did not find this to be a problem, even though the daily temperatures ranged from ~ 75 degrees to 90+ degrees with high humidity.
All in all, highly recommend.

Casa Tranquila is well-named
Our family of 4 stayed at Casa Tranquila for 5 nights and loved every minute. The location of the house, just few steps from the beautiful, quiet beach and also from Los Cardones (where there is more to do and eat) was perfect. We loved spending relaxing mornings and evenings on the hammocked terrace interspersed with beach walks, swims, surfing, and meals. The beds were comfortable enough. Though there's no AC, we found the fans to be sufficient to keep us cool at night. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook some meals. Be aware that there's no hot water; In our experience though, it wasn't needed. The water was a perfectly refreshing cool temperature.
Janelle was wonderful to work with. We would love to come back!

Great place to relax and enjoy beautiful beach and surf
The property was nice. The airflow was little stagnant and made it very warm sleeping. Ended up sleeping outside in hammock. The adjoining surf hotel was hit and miss on friendliness. Depending who was working it could be very pleasant or you were made to feel unwelcome to be hanging out. However, most people were incredibly nice. Janelle and Dan were awesome. Without them and their knowledge the trip would have been much less enjoyable. We were going to rent car but after learning about the local law enforcement supplementing their income by extorting gringos we decided to pass on car rental. This was a disappointment. We really like exploring local towns. Nicaragua needs to address this issue. Overall, great trip. Again a huge thanks to Janelle and Dan!!

Perfect Paradise Beach Vacation
Myself and a group of seven friends came to Finca del Mar in July. We rented Casa Tranquila and the neighboring house, Casa Pelicanos. Both houses were beautiful and very nice. The homes in Finca del Mar would be nice by U.S. standards and they are quite luxurious compared to most of what you find in Nicaragua. These houses are just a 2 minute walk from Los Cardones along a shaded stone path where you might see the occasional passing Iguana. Los Cadones is an Eco Surf Lodge serving amazing food morning, noon, and night. The beach here is very beautiful and there are hardly any people on it. The busiest day at the beach had only about dozen people. But one of the best parts of any stay in Finca del Mar is dealing with Janelle, the property manager. She is incredibly attentive and friendly and always a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend a visit to Finca del Mar and the Los Cardones Surf Lodge.

Perfect in every way!
The house was perfect. Very clean, lots of towels, nice sheets and nice pillows, nice big bathrooms and big showers, beautiful king beds with comfortable mattresses, well equipped kitchen, great outdoor eating area, just perfect! It's literally right next to Los Cardonnes, where they have great food, yoga, surfing, lounge areas and a view and access to the beautiful beach. The caretaker, Janelle is wonderful and so helpful. Her husband took us fishing and we cooked and ate the most delicious dinners all week. The closest supermarket is very far, but Janelle was nice enough to pick up a few things that we forgot to grab on our big shop upon arrival. She hand delivered homemade baked goods to us twice that were amazing. She and her family are wonderful, so helpful and they were always available to answer any questions and help us in any way. We highly recommend Casa Tranquila and like the other reviews say, it is truly a gem and will not disappoint! Can't wait to hopefully return someday! Maddie
