What a place
Overlooking K59, this is the place to be for waves, tranquility and an overall good time. Doug’s crew took care of us from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Very hospitable, safe and amazing access to the beach. Im still dreaming about Casa de Karma and can’t wait for my next visit.

It doesn't get any better then this when looking to be right on one of the best point breaks in EL Salvador. Doug and his crew were amazing. Just about a 30 second walk down the steps and right onto the beach. Clean pool with a great view. Cold ac in the bedrooms made for some excellent sleep along with the waves rumbling in the background. Nothing better then enjoying some local coffee in the outdoor kitchen watching the waves roll down the point. Pretty much the perfect surf trip setup! We will be back. Thanks again Doug!

Best Location, Amazing Views,Instant Access Surfing,Incredible Hospitality,Best Cultural Experience
My Family and I had an amazing stay at Casa de Karma. The Care Takers are incredibly friendly and very understanding of our lack of language skills. Maria’s meals that she prepared for us multiple times daily were so tasty and made with special touches. The beach and surf was just a short walk down the stairs and was perfect us as it was friendly, warm and uncrowded. The local kids knew our names by our 2nd day & brought us seafood galore, fresh fish, lobster, oysters (shucked and ready to eat) we were in Pacific Ocean heaven. We felt right at home, safe and incredibly welcome in this very special little neighborhood. We also had an amazing cultural experiences while visiting, as they set up daily tours of the different highlights of the Country, waterfalls, Mayan ruins, volcanoes, zip lining and too much to do on one trip. We look forward to returning next year! Gracias, Maria, Ernesto, Micol & Antonio

About the host

Hosted by Doug

Host profile image
I've been fortunate enough to have been a visitor to this wonderful Country and its incredibly hospitable, humble people for over 35 years now.
I have also traveled the globe for over 40 years and this place has captured my heart like no other
I especially enjoy showing people parts of this Country that you the average visitor would never see.
Believe me there are many magical adventures to be had within the borders of this small Country and the Islands that border the east of the country.
I know of many places in this tropical paradise that you would guess that you are elsewhere in the world.
My connection to this country is lengthy and ever developing as we have a very special neighborhood that I enjoy giving back to when and where possible.
My 1974 Land Rover has been nick named by the locals as Carro Fantasma (everything here has a second name) and is know up and down the coast as well as deep into the mountains and rivers.
No worries, we have professional full time drivers with current/safe vehicles if you are not in for an adventure in Carro Fantasma.
We can arrange a 1/4, 1/2 or full day trips to whatever you would like to do or see with in and around El Salvador and beyond!
We are also affiliated with other operations throughout different parts of the country, so if you desire a multiple location visit we can assist you there as well.
I encourage anyone of any age or family size to visit this incredible Country.
I have been all throughout Latin America and there is something phenomenal and special about this El Salvador.
Maybe it's the smell of the burning wood fires pushed by off shore winds as the local prepare fresh fish and pupusas over salt soaked drift wood as you surf a perfect right hand wave to the beach at sunset.
El Salvador has so much to do and see, as well as it is safe and secure to travel.

Why they chose this property

The Surf break out front has always been one of my favorites.
This property is out of town (La Libertad) and off the beaten path, incredibly beautiful / private.
It features perfect uncrowded surf (for regular and goofy footers) which is located right at the bottom of our stairs to the beach, with friendly locals that are a blast to surf, fish, laugh and play soccer with.
The house sits on a cliff away from the beach providing complete privacy.
You can sit in the pool or hammock sipping your beverage of choice while watching the surf and local soccer game.
The Property itself is amazing as it is spans over multiple acres with miles of walking trails through the dense surrounding jungle. Which will eventually lead you to to the KM 59 restaurant on the Pan American Hwy.
As you cruise the property there are mango tree's, almond tree’s, a Plumeria Tree forest, Mayan Caves, Natural Jacuzzi's with mineral water dripping from the ceilings, endless birds etc.
This is one of the largest Ocean Front properties in the Western region of the Country, many times I go weeks without leaving the property.
Our care taker and neighbors friend are two of the best fisherman in the area, therefore fresh sea food is abundant daily.
Being that the property is so large, you can easily separate from travel companions and enjoy some quality time alone.
With a great view of The KM59 & KM61 point breaks, you simply choose your point prior to walking down the stairs to indulge yourself in 86 degree water and perfect waves.
The Family will be sure that you are well fed before and after every surf session.
As will the locals, with fresh oysters, lobster, fish, pupusas to offer daily.
The local boys who fish the beach will also host your dinner seaside after preparing it in banana leaves over a fire pit.
When the music starts around the fire, you end up watching the sunset and off shore winds groom perfect waves.
We invite you to enjoy Central America's smallest Nation.
Saludos Doug

What makes this property unique

The original piece of property involved 3 terraces leading to the Ocean.
We spent five years just building Mayan style walls to secure the property for development.
We decided on a round structure with round cylinders for ambiance and Ocean views.
The home features two levels.
As you enter the house you are on the friends level which includes the friends bedroom with 2 twin beds (also designed to combine into a queen size) as well as 2 air beds. Guest bathroom with limestone shower and the large open air kitchen in the round which faces the Ocean and the Mountains.
You then proceed down four stairs to the second larger circular central living room, bar, master bedroom and two arched doorways out to the 200 degree Ocean Front terrace. Once on the terrace you are directly in front of a private swimming pool, beach with 86 degree Ocean water and perfect waves and friendly swimming.
To access the beach you simply walk down the stairs, through another doorway and onto the beach.
If you are off for a surf there is a waxing station at the bottom of the stairs.
If you notice the lineup out front is a bit more crowded than you prefer, just walk five minutes west to the next right hand point break K61, which usually has minimal or no people.
If your just beach cruising to the left (east) there are endless tide pools, little caves, private beaches etc. all of which the access is tide dependent.
Sunsets and sunrises from every angle of the property are some of our favorites as well as the full moon nights glowing over the Ocean.
From the top of the property you can see multiple points down the coast as well as the the mountain top.
Our care taker Family have been living on the property for fifty years, working around the property daily to ensure safety and beauty.
The Family will ensure that you have cultural memorable experience.
We also offer a menu of Country tours to waterfalls, ancient pueblos, fishing, historical Mayan sites, as day trips to other surf breaks.
