Blessed Beyond Belief
Casa Isabel
A peaceful retreat for the enjoyment of nature and rejuvenation of the human spirit…
Casa Isabel is an extravaganza of unique and artsy accommodations whose clear sense of privacy comes from lush shrubs and flowering vines planted a long, long time ago. We are Yelapa’s oldest continually running guesthouse, with a garden that is only possible from decades of input. Successful friends marvel that the whole place was rebuilt with its own earnings, a labor of love by Isabel’s chosen new “owners” (soon to become ownees!) whose other main-season jobs supported rainy season construction.

Passion Palace
Enjoy sweet dreams in a hanging double bed under the soothing vibes of a passion fruit vine. Look out past a lawn and the fire circle to the sparkling sea where you swim.

The nook is a little room with a high ceiling and everything a single needs. The Nook has a single bed (non-hanging), shares the Casa Central shower and bathroom, and is our most economical offering here in the high-rent district.
Cool Corner
It’s a room with a view, with a raised double bed to insure your wake-up view of bougainvillea blossoms and beautiful blue ocean.
Canopy Camp
If your favorite living space is natural but polished, and it sounds sweet to sleep free under a tree by the sea, Canopy Camp may be for you.
Isabel first leased this land in 1971. She welcomed and inspired countless guests over the decades, and two dozen people testified at her memorial that
they were surely her best friend. Her personal charis had her convincing guests that temporary glitches in hot water heaters were jungle adventures. All the houses were run down when she made her celestial transfer, but a magical encounter with a fairy godmother nicely alleviated a family-inheritance issue, leaving the builders in charge when building was sorely needed. Casa Isabel has been fully, sustainably, and artfully reconstructed since beloved Isabel passed away in 2009.

Guest Reviews
“Starlight, lingering long with the clouds- hummingbird and morning butterflies- with fresh lime on everything! We’d love to return some day. Enjoy and savor this rare vintage at Casa Isabel!”
“”Such a magical place to stay in Yelapa! Mesa & Beverly were amazing hosts. Stayed here for a yoga retreat, it was perfect. Butterflies, birds singing, you can hear the ocean from any room. We stayed in Canopy Camp. Comfortable bed, everything you need in your room, a hammock to enjoy the view. Every detail was considered when they built Casa Isabel. Make sure to get a massage from Beverly! I can go on and on about how wonderful our stay was here. Can’t wait to return!”
“Amazingly beautiful as always. So much to see and do here. The nearby town is amazing. Multiple waterfalls to see. Casa Isabel has so many neat room offerings from a 3 bedroom house to nooks and other houses up the hillside. As well as ample showers and toilets and solar heated hot water to boot. There were paddleboards to rent this time, yoga, energy work and more. The night sky was amazing!”
“Gorgeous Location right on the beach. Open concept living with separate little bungalows. 2 waterfalls nearby, depending on how much of a hike you want. Many food options in the small town of Yelapa, just a short walk away.”
