Description
We have been blessed with a variety of workaway people who have been very helpful during the past few months. At this time we will be looking for someone that is interested in staying for a bit longer to take care of the house and our dog Bella and of continue a bit of beach and plant/yard cleanup, watering plants and maintaining the house. If If anyone has some art skills and wants to be creative that's a bonus. . The property is a beautiful vacation rental property lakeside on a volcanic crater lake which is just 20 minutes from Granada, a beautiful colonial city in Nicaragua,. We are a Canadian/Nicaraguan couple that have owned this property for several years and are trying to make small changes/improvements to the property. There is also a caretaker family that reside on the property and work with you. At this time we are seeking an independent responsible couple who can work on their own . IYou will be responsible for your own food purchase/preparation but in exchange for a few house of work you get to live in a tropical paradise with swimming and hiking right out your door. There is a fully equipped kitchen for your use and you will have your own bedroom, bathroom and living space. Our dates are starting the first week of July until the end of July (some flexibility). Granada is just 20 minutes away and there is a daily bus (or 2) that goes to Masaya and as well a daily shuttle to Granada. We can normally meet you in Granada where you can buy your supplies and take you to the property to get you oriented. Expectations are to work approximately 3 hours per day with 2 full days free per week. Preference given to a couple that can stay for a minimum of 2 weeks. Let me know if this sounds like a fit for you!!!
