Florence and Roberto together at Casa Origen

Founders & Owners -
Roberto and Florence

A story of love, family, and life by the ocean.

Some places begin with a dream, and Casa Origen is one of them.

Our story began long before this house existed. At just 12 years old, Roberto discovered his love for surfing in the waves of El Zonte, right in front of what would eventually become Casa Origen.

Florence and Roberto met over 35 years ago as high school sweethearts. Together, they built a life filled with love, adventures, and shared dreams. Sixteen years ago, they turned one of those dreams into reality by building their own home by the ocean.

Every corner of Casa Origen tells a piece of their story, from the thoughtful details to the handcrafted wooden furniture Roberto created with Florence's help.

More than just a place to stay, Casa Origen is an invitation to slow down, wake up to the sound of the waves, experience the beauty of El Zonte, and create memories that last a lifetime.
