The guest casita has two more bedrooms and a bathroom accessed via the porch, with more hammocks. Bedroom #2 has a queen bed with single bunk bed above, and Bedroom #3 has a king bed. Outdoor shower for rinsing off the salt & sand, and surfboard racks next to the main house for convenience.

The Location:
Los Pelícanos , located in the Finca del Mar beachfront community, is 50 steps from a beautiful empty tropical beach. Wonderful for early morning or sunset walks, collecting shells or driftwood, and, of course, surfing. You will watch a sky every evening with more stars than you can imagine and you will hear the waves lull you to sleep each night. Los Pelícanos is also a 2 minute walk from the Los Cardones Restaurant. Los Cardones is a wonderful place to get delicious meals and meet new friends or old while watching the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. At Los Cardones you can also rent surfboards, boogie boards, sign up for yoga or a massage, take surf lessons, help release baby sea turtles, or set up adventure outings that range from horseback riding to snowboarding down a volcano!
The Surf:
Ranchos surf break right out front is fun for beginners at low tide and intermediates & experts at other tides. Ranchos almost always has fun surf, but for intermediates and experts there are other excellent breaks within walking distance.
The Community:
The Finca del Mar community and Los Cardones Ecolodge are committed to sustainable, environmentally friendly and low impact development, designed to support the local community and support local educational development. You can volunteer to help out during your visit!
Rental manager Laure will do everything possible to make your stay fantastic. She can arrange airport shuttles, or have the house pre-stocked with groceries if you want to come straight to the beach without spending time shopping in Managua.
