About the host
Hosted by John and Geoff Bramwell
Outdoor oriented brothers whom set off in 2004 to find a good surf break on a quality beach to build a nice surf shack. And thus avoid the North America January cold. After a furious search, we settled at this beach in Nicaragua and named it Playa Tesoro. After 20 years work, we have a best in country, fully private fresh water system. And an electrical system that works well with private ownership of all the equipment. In Canada, we have over 40 years as business partners in construction. Come see this awesome 3 kilometers of beach spread over 204 acres, in the friendly country of Nicaragua.
Why they chose this property
Playa Tesoro is a great swim beach with warm, shallow, salty water. You have 7 miles of beach all to yourself. All sand, no rocks, no garbage, no people, no logs, no rocks. Just turtles, birds, fish. And a few well built homes.
Nicaragua is a great country full of wonderful people. This is a very peaceful, secure, beautiful country. Leon city is the university town of Nicaragua with 11 universities, many language schools, good music and strong arts community. Also, the second oldest town in all the Americas behind Panama city, so there is amazing architecture. The people are warm, peaceful and kind. In summary, Leon is a safe, intelligent, artistic, friendly community that is welcoming and interesting. Leon state and area has a vast array of intriguing places to visit and enjoy on day trips as well.

What makes this property unique
Even in Nicaragua, this property is unique because it is nestled between the Pacific Ocean and a 24 mile fresh water river in the back. Playa Tesoro is the ultimate swim beach as it is all sand, gentle waves and warm water. The river is absolutely pristine, with absolutely no person on it. No garbage, no bottles, nothing but fish and birds. The beach is 7 miles long and we ride dirt bikes from one end to the other at sunset seeing nobody, just turtles. Yet, the second largest city in Nicaragua is a mere 45 minutes away.
Playa Tesoro is 45 minutes from the second largest city in Nicaragua, called Leon. Leon is a 500 year old architectural jewel in the rough. Leon has an amazing array of 400 year old mud/straw homes, 14 churches and 11 universities. Leon has a lively arts community. Our beach and beach accommodation is the best in Leon.
