Ideal for a family getaway, Casa Tora is a two-story house located on remote Playa El Coco beach in southern Nicaragua. Casa Tora is located within an ecological beach community, Parque Marítimo El Coco ( just 2.5 hours from the airport in Managua, Nicaragua. The park is 2 km from La Flor turtle reserve where thousands of turtles come each year to lay their eggs. The house is sheltered on a wooded lot 50 meters from the beach. Playa El Coco is a one km long white sand beach where monkeys, possums, parrots and other tropical birds come to feed. A natural paradise for relaxing, nature watching, biking, boogie and surfboarding, snorkeling, fishing, swimming and more. Playa El Cocoa is just 17 km south of San Juan del Sur, a charming seaside town with supermarkets, restaurants, and other services.

The house combines traditional colonial design with modern amenities. The first floor has a large porch, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and spacious bedroom for two. The second floor has a porch, two bedrooms, and a bathroom.

We live in Managua and can help arrange travel to and from Playa El Coco.

    Playa El Coco is such an amazing place. Casa Tora was a great place to stay, and Jenny was very responsive and helpful throughout the process.

    Casa Tora is beautiful, well maintained and equipped. There were days we were the only people on the very, beautiful beach. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The bus stops close to the house if you do not have a vehicle. We had a terrific vacation!

    First of all, Jenny was an AMAZING host! Full of tips and recommendations from the moment we reserved. The house was comfortable and we slept well with no AC. The kitchen was well stocked and great to cook the fish we caught on a fishing charter. The proximity to the beach was the highlight of this house! It is a quiet beach with very few people. Even on New Year's Eve, it wasn't crowded. It was a great place to celebrate with bonfires along the beach. We also saw howler monkeys, parrots, and iguanas from the porch. Jaunita was a wonderful housekeeper and came every 3 days with fresh towels and linens. The store on the grounds is closed, so stop in town to get groceries before you arrive. San Juan del Sur was close enough to restock every few days-once you got used to the roads. The roads were rustic, although they are now paving them-which will be so nice once done. A few places we loved that were recommended by Jenny and few we found on our own:Big Sky Ranch for trail rides and lessonsOcean Surf and Sport for fishing and snorkelingLa Flor for sea turtle arribadas (we saw 3 come up to lay eggs in less than an hour!)Restaurante Puesta del Sol is right on the beach, so getting a drink or food was easy-and delicious!Gaby's Laundry in SJdSOne thing to note, there is no hot water. This is a thing throughout Nicaragua that I did not know about being a US citizen. However, after a hot day at the beach, it was invigorating and would not deter me from staying here again!

    Our family spent our last three days of our vacation at Casa Tora, absolute best decision. The house was perfect for our family, and the location was fantastic. The beach was so quiet, and clean. The water was warm and crystal clear. Would stay here again for sure.

    First of all, I like to say this is one of the places I have liked the most! If you would like to be out of the city noise, and crowed places, this is it! There is a beautiful two story house all to yourself. No a/c but you get a cool breeze at night. And the beach is only thirty seconds from the house by foot. You hear the wave crashing from the house, beautiful sand, clean, and no little rocks on the beach, all flat smooth sand. One thing to keep in mind, get everything you need (grocery) before you get to the house, if you don’t mind the driving. There is a pali supermarket on your way to the house which is like thirty minutes driving. Also, like to thanks Juanita, the house keeper, very helpful and friendly. Winston, your main contact, also very friendly and helpful. Very nice place to stay, keep it up! Definitely will be back?

    The house is nice, fully functional with 3 bedrooms in a private community. Location is very convenient to the beach at Playa Coco, probably less than 2 minutes from the door to the sand. Lots of bird activity and also a troop of 10 howler monkeys early one morning right outside the house. The master bedroom upstairs has huge windows that allow the breezes to pass through. Bed was very comfortable. The water pressure in the downstairs shower was very strong. The caretaker had advised us that was the better shower to use vs. the one in the master upstairs. Everything we used in the kitchen worked fine and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of dinnerware, drinkware, utensils, pots & pans, etc. Communication with the host was great, always responded promptly and gave good information leading up to our stay. Only slight issue was the caretaker did not show up at the predetermined time (even confirmed with the host the morning of our departure) so we needed to leave without the official check out process completed. We waited 15 minutes but needed to depart due to a commitment later that morning. All in all, a pleasant stay in a nice quiet beach. Just what we were looking for.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Tora. Nice and close to the beach. We saw whales, monkey's, and baby turtles going into the water. It was very clean and comfortable. Easy to communicate and get info when needed. The only thing that was a little hard for us because we didn't have a car, was there was not many ways to get into town other than the bus and i the house is far away from everything. But if you feel adventurous the bus wasn't hard to take and it was a fun experience!! We are so thankful we stayed here and had such an amazing time!!!

    We loved our stay here. The house had everything needed including good WIFI. The close location to an amazing beach was the best part. Jenny was very accommodating and is an excellent host.

    I spent new year with my family at Casa Tora it was nice, very clean, had all the main house supplies, close to the beach, good neighborhood. But the microwave didn’t heat at all and there weren’t paper towels or napkins. It’ll be awesome if the house had WIFI and AC, specially for summer when the weather is so hot.
