Quinta Mar y Estrellas Guest Beachhouse

Quinta Mar y Estrellas is a beautiful property on the gorgeous unspoiled beach of Playa Hermosa in Huehuete, Nicaragua, just 90 minutes from Managua. The Guest house on the property is perfect for a relaxing cosy beach getaway for one or two couples. This little house is self-sufficient, with fully-equipped kitchenette and a refreshing dipping pool. Discover the unspoiled beauty of Nicaragua's Pacific coast, unwind and enjoy life at a slower pace, and practice your Spanish with the locals! The Guest House is designed for beach living, two bedrooms with their ensuite shower rooms and a small common area between the bedrooms with a couch, easy chair, dining table and kitchenette. Ouside on the lower deck, rustic lounge chairs are arranged around the dipping pool, great for when it's just too hot to be on the beach. The area is extremely quiet apart from the distant sound of the waves, although on weekends you might see a bit more action on the beach. In addition to hanging out on the property, a 20-km stretch of pristine beach is just a short walk across the lane for beachcombing and long walks. Walk to Huehuete village for a beer (or bring your wine!) and a meal of fresh fish at Rancho Segundo's (4-star food in 1-star decor), take a short drive to La Boquita for some surf lessons or to Casares to watch the fishermen come in. We have a wonderful family of caretakers living on-site who are responsible for maintenance, security and even preparing your meals if you so desire! They love having guests and will help you with anything you need, including hiding the local rooster who starts crowing at around 4 a.m.... The advantage of staying in our part of the coast, as opposed to popular developed areas such as San Juan del Sur, is the opportunity to live with the Nicaraguan people and to experience their way of life. Shopping in the market, participating in a village hipica on a Sunday and deep-sea fishing with the locals will introduce you to some of the most friendly and serene people we have met in our travels, in spite of their tumultuous history and relative poverty. Easy day trips also allow you to discover the natural beauty of Nicaragua's volcanoes, typical towns and villages and authentic handicrafts, as well as its beautiful colonial cities, Granada and León. There is private parking on the property. We recommend having a car on-site, as there is only one convenience store and one restaurant within walking distance (10-15 minutes). There is also a local bus to Diriamba and Jinotepe for more adventurous souls! The closest market town is Diriamba, about a 40-minute drive, where you can stock up on food and other necessities. There is also a convenience store for emergencies 10 minutes away from the property on foot.
