Manjos Kashid Cottage a minute's walk to the beach

Manjos Kashid Cottage is another of our villas in Kashid.. It is very quaint little cottage built in 1930 and the beauty is that it is a minutes walk from Kashid Beach.. Excellent for families and groups.. everybody comes here for the beach and the water sports like parasailing, jet skis , banana boat etc.. Murud Janjira Fort is 18km away.. We have a cook and a caretaker in an adjoining house preparing freshly prepared home made Konkani food on request and serving in the cottage. Manjos Kashid Cottage is a quaint beachy cottage that is a minutes walk from kashid beach famous for its 3km white sand beach and its watersports like parasailing, jet ski etc.. Kashid Cottage is a 2 ac and 1 non ac room villa.. total 3 rooms with one room having an attache toilet and the other 2 rooms sharing one common toilet.. We have 3 double beds and provide extra floor mattresses if needed.. The dining table and Flat screen tv are in the living room.. There is a porch and garden too for your comfort.. We have a kitchen next door with our caretaker and his cook wife serving freshly prepared home cooked konkani food on request in the villa.. Our caretaker Mangesh is there 24/7 to look after you but would request you to relieve him at the earliest in the night if possible ( 10pm should be fine) Atm & Grocery stores are walkable too..( half a minute) The entire villa Hi.. I live in kashid.. so if you need any insight into the local culture or idea of the nearby tourist spots you can call me anytime between 10am and 7pm.. You can even invite me for a drink in the evening.. We are 100 metres from this beautiful 3 km white sand beach called Kashid Beach famous for its water sports (Parasailing, Jet Ski, Banana,& Bumper), ATV s,Horses, Camels, Dinghy Rides,Fresh Seafood,the list is endless. 15 Km away is the Murud Janjira Fort on an island so involves a boat ride to get there. Also 15 km away is the Phansad Wild Life Sanctuary which has more birds than animals. My personal recommendation is the Korlai Lighthouse & Fort which comes 10kms before Kashid if you are coming from Mumbai Or Pune. Kashid besides being a just a beach gives you a sense of inner peace everytime you come here.. the air here is the freshest I have lived in a long time.. the jungle and mountain backdrop behind kashid has some wonderful wildlife.. monkeys are a common sighting in kashid.. I love the local cooking where they cook meat on a hot stone in a banana leaf or meat in a pot kept underground and cooked to perfection.. I go fishing too and can take you too provided it is a weekday.. Kashid is a photographer's delight as some really stunning backdrops are there.. The water sports on the beach are a bonus.. If you are coming by car then it's a four hour drive from Mumbai or Pune.. There are direct buses to kashid from Mumbai and Pune but the final destination mentioned will be Murud and kashid bus stop is 18km before Murud.. From Mumbai however there is one more option the ferry from the gateway of india to mandwa which is my favourite.. If you take tha PNP ferry it is appr 190 for a one way ac cabin fare to alibaug which is 20kms from mandwa as they have a bus waiting at mandwa jetty especially to transport all passengers to alibag ( inclu in ferry price).. Once at Alibaug drop point there are various options like private taxis, autos, ST buses etc.. Kashid is 30 kms from Alibag so I would personally recommend the open air auto ride along the coastline which can fit 8 comfortably as it is big and costs appr 700 from alibaug to our property.. Private taxis cost anywhere from 1200 to 1500 to kashid.. If you want there are also private taxis available at Mandwa Jetty too ( all the time) and charge 2500 for an ac innova for 7 to 8 people directly to kashid.. Public Transport in Kshid is sparse.. like a share a auto every 30mins or an ST bus every one hour.. Public Transportation like Buses, Share a rickshaw,private taxis all available.. If you wanna hire a bike then you have to do it from alibaug.. Kashid Beach has ample on the beach parking where they charge you 30rs but safety is taken care of.. Electricity cuts are not that often but can happen so we have an inverter in place which can last you appr 8 hours if used judiciously.. geysers and ac s do not work on the inverter..
