Fabulous time in Ajijic

The casita has everything needed for a short stay. All amenities are as described on VRBO website. The property is well maintained. Great location - less than a 5-minute walk to the lake boardwalk.

Great location near the malecon, was a pleasant walk into town. The owner was away, but still responsive. The property management, not so much.

My daughter and grandkids had a great time!

Our small house was too small to accommodate three guests, and this turned out to be a much appreciated alternative. The location is fabulous, a quiet respite just a couple of blocks from the west end of the malecon, and a couple of blocks from the heart of Six Esquinas. Close to the center of town via waterfront walk. The house is spacious and in good condition, the hosts are friendly and helpful, and it is a relatively very good value.

Beautiful Casita!

We couldn't have asked for a better property and location for our first visit to Ajijic! The casita and grounds are as advertised! We enjoyed the beautiful gardens and pool. The casita had everything we needed for our 10 day stay. The communication with Franz was excellent and Reyna was a phone call away if we had any questions. The location was perfect! About a block from the malecon which easily took us to centro and the Ajijic plaza. A short walk to Seis Esquinas which had everything we needed...tiendas, tortilleria, panaderia, and an excellent taqueria (Taqueria Pillos) a few short blocks away.

A treat for the soul

Our first time in Ajijic and we couldn't have chosen a better place for our stay. We had a wonderful time staying at Alex's inviting casita; it's comfortable and well-maintained. Alex was helpful starting from our initial contact. The location within Ajijic works out very well in that it's in a quieter part of town yet close to the Malecon and easily walkable to anywhere else. The gated neighborhood is a big plus. The grounds are a beautiful, a literal botanical garden professionally maintained by Eduardo. Reyna, the maid, greeted us upon our arrival and was very helpful with acquainting us with the place. The beds are comfortable and "back friendly", plus you get to wake to the wonderful songs of the local birds greeting you in the morning. We would definitely stay there again.

Carmen was pleasant and available for a late check in as we had transportation difficulty. I stayed in touch and she met us to deliver keys and instructions. After that we had poor communication with property manager and no action/response regarding a toilet that didn’t work, (day 5 we had a response) and no running water last day with no explanation or work attempted until the night before we left. No response until day 5 to simple things like no coffee maker, supplies, drinking water.

A wonderful respite!

What a charming casita! A darling two bedroom home with a lovely living room (with fireplace!) and a nice, modern kitchen with all amenities. The bonus was the exterior - beautiful, secluded garden with a salt water swimming pool. This lovely casita was nestled in a quiet "Old Mexico" gated community where the homes and surroundings, with all its lush vegetation and beautiful flowers, made the experience of staying here so relaxing and peaceful. Another bonus was the wonderful communication from Alec! His follow-up to us was impeccable! He was responsive to every need we had - a wonderful feature when traveling abroad. His staff, Rejna and Eduardo, were especially wonderful too and took extra time to ensure that we were comfortable and happy with our temporary home. I would highly recommend this wonderful place to anyone who wants to take in Ajijic in a beautiful, peaceful and cozy casita. One note: be prepared to hear the roosters wake you up in the morning! I loved it! Ah, the charm of being in Mexico! Thank you, Alec for being a superstar host!

Sweet Casita in Charming, Secret Town

This little spot makes for a lovely getaway for two. Ajijic is adorable, affordable, and fun. We shopped, strolled, hiked in the mountains, listened to live music, ate great food, got massages, and all within steps of our place. Our host connected us with great information and was responsive if we had any needs. Que bueno!!
