. Perched on a point 150 feet above the water, this charming casita enjoys a nearly 180 degree view of the lake. The three acre property it's located on is covered with lush vegetation and has numerous areas to sit back and relax, watch the boats pass by and the sun rise AND set. Enjoy the tranquility and beauty of Lake Atitlan from a truly spectacular vantage point. The space This Casita is a 860 sq. ft (80 sq. m) 2-bedroom house with a full kitchen and ample patio space from which to enjoy the impressive view. Constructed with adobe walls, the house stays cool during the day and comfortable at night. If you do get a chill, light a fire in the fireplace while you gaze at the stars and the villages across the lake. This is a place for lovers of nature and those seeking a peaceful respite from the noise and commotion of the bigger towns. * Note, the property is only accessible by boat to our private dock or by footpath from the neighboring villages of Santa Cruz and Jaibalito--each a 15 min walk away. Guest access The Casita is located on a large property which has another house (a two-apartment duplex), which is also rented on Airbnb. All guests have access to the the property dock, which is great for sunbathing, swimming or catching one of the public taxi boats which pass by every 15 minutes. All guests also have access to the shared pathways and gardens on the property. This Casita has a separate entrance and private patio and garden. Other things to note There is a friendly dog on the property and a cat who likes the company of people. As the Casita is very open, she can access the patio easily. Pests: The lake is in a rural, tropical area, which means bugs and insects are a part of life here. This area has a ubiquitous flat spider which will be found in every house despite the best efforts of any cleaning team. It is absolutely harmless. Rural Guatemala is also home to a non-lethal scorpion. Occasionally, you may find one in the house. We recommend using shoes when walking around at night/in the dark. As there are multiple units on the property, we ask all of our guests to be respectful of each other and keep noise down after 9pm. This is a tranquil property NOT a party location.
