Casa Brisas de Popoyo Yoga Surf house right in front of the Ocean

David the greeter was very attentive as was Jerome the owner. The house has a beautiful garden and a nice breeze from the ocean. Views from the balcony upstairs are beautiful and it is a peaceful place to sit at night. The kitchen is a little bit tight but it has all of the dishes and utensils you need for cooking. Bring your own salt, pepper and cooking oil. The rooms have A/C for a fee. Please note that this home really doesn't have a living room. The living are and dining area are set up outside. It would have been nice to have a larger hammock and/or a second hammock to lay down in. The location on the beach is great. We walked to Nica Vibes one night and it took 7 or 8 minutes. Also, you can walk like maybe 15 minutes south on the beach to a great spot where the beach connects with a river. Overall this home is a great value for a beachfront property.

There were many wonderful pieces of Jerome’s place one of which was Jerome himself - he greeted us warmly, gave us a tour of the home, introduced us to an awesome local surf lesson guide and in general was very kind and welcoming. The location with the ocean in the backyard was stunning especially for a family from Montana in the US. A couple of heads up if you are traveling to this beautiful place with young kids - this part of the beach does have very strong waves and we found it best to walk down toward the tide pools (10 to 15 min walk up the beach) for swimming safety. The other spot great for kids is beginners bay but it does require a 15 min drive to get there unless you walk down the beach and cross a small river more than a mile - probably fine with older kids but hard to do with younger ones especially if you are headed that way for surf lessons. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need but make sure to purchase and bring everything including salt and papertowels. Jerome suggested we purchase what we needed in Granada where we were staying first which was very helpful because there’s not a large grocery store out there. Do not assume the electricity will stay on in this small town so bring battery operated lights for your Littles. One night we had rain so the electricity was off until the next morning. Overall it was an incredible four nights that I believe our kids will never forget in the best of ways.

I didn’t end up going due to family stuff, but my friends that went said it was fine, good waves, intermittent wifi and electricity, and apparently there was an unfortunate miscommunication about some chocolates left in the fridge, but other than that all was well and fine.

Tiny poorly appointed kitchen, no screens on windows( they were necessary!), beds double and uncomfortable, not one single comfortable chair! Nice location though.
