Guest House
MEET US
Mia, Ina, Jim & Finn (American-German)
​
Jim found Playa El Coco on the search for the perfect spot to build his beachfront dream house in 2002. He immediately fell in love with the beautiful white sanded beach, that is not only very secluded, but also provides for his private little surf break in the back yard.
Ina moved to Nicaragua in 2009. She first lived in Granada where she did the marketing for a hostel and founded a small NGO dedicated to educational projects.
Jim and Ina met on the beach, fell in love and started La Veranera together.
Their daughter Mia was born in 2016. Mia loves to go snail hunting during low tide, looking for crabs together with Canela and got her first surf lesson from Daddy when she was 6 month old.
​
Finn was born in 2020 and enjoys laughing, exploring, long walks in his stroller , and taking it all in.
Itza & Cornelius Holzer
​
We are an artist couple from Nicaragua and Austria, Itza a Painter
who finds inspiration in nature and color, and Cornelius is a passionate chef and musician who loves bringing people together through food and music. We met Jim and Ina several years ago, and from the very beginning, we clicked and became really good friends.
We’re both very outgoing, love meeting new people, and enjoy sharing good conversations, meals, and moments. It would be a real pleasure for us to host you and do our best to make your stay relaxing, fun, and memorable.
Elsa and Anna
​
Love them or Hate them- a house cat has always been a fixture at La Veranera. Elsa and Anna have made themselves right at home. Elsa (the ice queen) fiercely protects her food from the beach dogs that wonder up and let’s them know who is boss. But, if things get tough, Anna is always there to back up her sister.
