Quiet Ocotal Hilltop Retreat - 3 Min to Beach - 4 Pools - Fast Wi-Fi - Sleeps 5

Upper-level 2BR condo in peaceful Ocotal with mountain views, 3 minutes to Playa Ocotal's calm bay and 8 minutes to Coco's dining and tours. Four pools, 100 Mbps Wi-Fi, in-unit laundry, and shaded outdoor space for quiet mornings and stargazing.

MAIN DESCRIPTION- Your Peaceful Ocotal Home Base

Tucked into the hillside above Playa Ocotal, this upper-level condo offers quick access to beach and town with the calm you need to actually rest. Wake to mountain views and birdsong, walk to one of four community pools, or drive 3 minutes to Ocotal's protected bay for swimming and snorkeling.

Unlike Coco's busier downtown, Ocotal stays quiet at night—ideal for families with early risers, remote workers needing focus, or anyone who wants proximity without the noise.
