Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Little Corn Island

The rooms were well appointed. Best restaurant on the island. Incredibly beautiful property. Activities easily arranged through the property

This house is is roomy and in a great spot right on the beach! The porch is amazing and we spent many nights out there. We had no issues with mosquitos. We chose this house because it is on the windward side of the island so there was always a breeze blowing in off the sea. There are three doors that leading to the porch that face the sea that open and provide a great colling breeze through the house. The fans also helped keep our rooms cool. There are two fans on the wall and two fans that post on the floor. The fan in the room with the king bed is not noisy in the low position. We just used the floor post fans in the other room. We didnt cook but the kitchen has plenty of appliances to use. We liked that we had access to the washer machine. There are many restaurants within a 10 minute walk to choose from that are local and affordable. The north areas of the Island do not seem to have that option. The snorkeling on the beach in front of the house is almost non-existent, just a lot of sea grass. You would need to walk to another beach with rocks or a reef to see any marine life. The reef that protects the beach in front of the house is a far swim away. The car taker cleaned the sea grass from the beach daily and checked on us almost daily. The host does send someone to the dock upon arrival to help carry luggage, its about a 10 minute walk from the boat dock. I would suggest tipping them as does a note in the house.

Location was perfect, close to the port (1-2 minutes away and most of the islands restaurants. The local family who own and run the hotel were very kind and friendly, had some nice conversations. Quiet location (island is generally quiet, minus a few louder restaurants far enough away). Our room was immaculate clean as they have higher standards here than most hotels we’ve stayed at in Nicaragua. The air conditioning in our room was nice to have. Hammocks in the shade were great. Yard is very well maintained and manicured. We felt safe staying here. They also stored our bags for us after check out while we killed time before our Panga ride back to Corn Island. Nice hotel, kind people there. We’d stay here again and I highly recommend it to anyone.

Really nice staff. Best maracuya juice on the island (I tried 5 other places), but it's not always available 😔 The bed in the basic room is really comfortable and big! Basic kitchen. Nice sunrise views and I even got a good full moonrise view with the light reflecting on the water so pretty! They let you use the wash basins and lines to wash your clothes, which is essential in Nicaraguan heat where your sweat stinks up your clothes in less than an hour 🤦🏼‍♀️ Nice area in nature. Bring a headlamp (I found a AAA battery open one in Managua RadioShack for about $15) for walking to town at night and watch out for the crabs! The dogs didn't bother me thankfully, which is saying a lot because I got attacked by 7 pet dogs in Nicaragua (probably being overly friendly, but grabbing my shoe or liking my leg without my consent is not okay), so it's nice when the dogs are calm. These ones barked and got close, but no contact. Close your door to keep the cats out, though. A cat also jumped on the chair next to me as I was eating my lunch one day. About a 15 minutes walk to the center, 20 to the ferry if you carry your own bags because you're just dripping sweat. I recommend paying the C100 for a wheelbarrow helper. I'd been having a not so great time in Nicaragua thanks to sleezy men, disrespectful dogs, and many minor annoyances that kept adding up. My time at Little Corn (and later San Carlos/El Castillo) was so refreshing and back to being treated with kindness and being welcomed like I grew accustomed to in other Latin American countries (compared to Big Corn where was ignored at most every shop and locals seemed to hate visitors and their resting btch faces were well set in like most Nicaraguan from west of Lake Nicaragua). I'm glad I made it to the east side of the country, so the bad experiences could be balanced out by good ones!

What Anna and Derek built is a true paradise. Beautiful cabanas on the remote part of the island. I particularly liked the common area. It was raining all the time while I was on the island, and I spent most of my time there. Anna and Derek are very friendly people. On some nights we listened to music, on others we played games, or just socialized. I also enjoyed talking to Derek. Prior to my arrival Anna got in touch with me, to arrange all necessary transportation.

it’s such a magical place to stay. I loved everything about it. The location, the buildings, the animals, the owners, literally everything was amazing

The view, the sea, the sounds and the breeze, and a great breakfast everyday! Carlitos and his family were warm, welcoming and wonderful. Tishany went for walks with me to help me familiarize myself what path took me where.

We liked the location of the hotel, the two owners, Georgia and Virginia, were so kind and accommodating. They would make us tea or coffee or even a chicken soup if we requested it. Heck, we even had some shots of tequila and rum a few times, of course we paid for all of that, but it was nice to know that we could count on them for stuff like that. They were also very approachable and easy to talk to, even shared a little bit of their lives with us. Both of them were always smiling and made us feel welcome and relaxed in their presence. Since the hotel is located right in front of a swamp, sometimes there would be a bad smell coming from behind our room, but our host was so sympathetic that she allowed us to change rooms completely free of charge to one where the smell was no longer a problem. I would definitely return there in the future and recommend it to friends and family.

The view from bed is enough to book it! amazing view for sunrise right next to the water, beautiful view of ocean, free range chickens roaming, cutest cat to exist, and more renovations coming to make the property even better! It’s also in walking distance to everything (although the cabs are cheap) and there’s a store right next door. it’s on the other side of the island from a lot of the tourist attractions which makes it a more secluded area which we loved.

Big comfy bed, soft towels, lovely owners + steps away from the beach!
