Lake Front Paradise, - Nature, Adventure & Mayan Culture Collide

"I had an amazing stay at Casa Paxanax. My house was well equipped, nicely decorated with fresh flowers and what a patio. Nothing like eating a meal on a cool patio surrounded by beautiful potted plants and that view of the lake and volcanos. I enjoyed my private dock which I would go sit on everyday; soak in the sun , watch the boats go by and feel that I was right in the lake. Also enjoyed a swim in the lake. Paxanax is a short distance from where you can catch a tuk tuk to Santa Cruz, but public or private boats are easily available. I had a view issues with the house. Main one being that there was construction going on behind the house and on the neighbors house to the side. Started at 7 am six days a week. That was a negative because I was counting on more quiet while enjoying my patio and outdoor area. Overall, very positive feelings about my stay. Flora the property manager was extremely responsive and always got back to me if I had a question. Paolo the property caretaker was so friendly and always helpful. I had a cleaning lady come in several times and what a thorough and beautiful job she did keeping my casa clean. Thank you to all involved. I loved being there." - Phyllis B., Minneapolis..

"My family stayed in Casa Paxanax for 4 incredible days. The location is amazing, the house is always clean and Flor is amazingly responsive to any questions. If you’re looking for a great place to stay on the lake I would not hesitate one second to lease this home. Honestly was one of the highlights of our trip to Guatemala." - Lance H., 02/20/2020 (VRBO Review)

"Very nice experience, a very pleasant house. Clean, comfortable and very well furnished. The most beautiful is, the contact with nature." - Erick D., Vive en Ciudad de Guatemala, Gu, 04/20/2019 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"We were a group of six and we all fit comfortably. The house was clean and well decorated. We spent most of our time on the deck having beers and fighting for the hammock and taking in the view. We came in pretty late and only stayed one night but would all gladly stay for longer. Flor and Santos were very helpful. They left us the cutest welcome baskets and were very available if we needed anything." - Billy K., 03/13/2019 (VRBO Review)

"Hi Flor, Thanks for the stay! It is a great house in a great location! Santos was very cordial. We loved our stay. The garden is beautiful, and the views are stunning. Cheers, Juan Carlos " - Ste &., California, Es, 12/26/2018 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"If you are looking for a quiet getaway on the lake, this is your house. Six of us arrived by boat after dark. It was quite an adventure pulling up the dock, but once we were on land we were truly in paradise. It is a smaller rustic dwelling, but the beauty is outside anyway. The sunrise from the dock, sunsets from the balcony, the hammock, the antique textiles are just a few of the great things about this house. We also walked along the trail to San Cruz where we found a great restaurant and lots of friendly locals. We highly recommend this house to adventure seekers and those looking for a quiet getaway. Not for luxury seekers." - Ennie H., Houston, 12/24/2018 (VRBO Review)

"We stayed at Casa Paxanax for a week in October. The property is exactly as it appears on this profile. It's absolutely awesome! Plenty of room for the four of us. Flor was incredible with her assistance before and during our stay. Santos the caretaker is very kind, though he speaks almost no english so when in doubt text Flor and all communication is made 100% clear. We reached out to the neighboring property Villa Sumaya in advance of our stay and were able to book yoga classes, a hot tub, massage services and enjoy meals there during our stay at Casa Paxanax...and you can even pay them in american dollars! They were awesome too! I really can't say enough good things about this place. Thank you to everyone that manages it!" - Kirsten W., 11/07/2018 (VRBO Review)

"This truly is a Lake Front Paradise! Our stay was wonderful! This house was fully equipped, has a lovely and cozy decor and being welcomed with sweet treats really made our stay memorable. This house has everything you could need and want for a lake getaway and having an easy access to the lake is a huge plus for when traveling with kids. My 8 year old didn't want to leave. Flor and help at the house were very attentive and " - Claudia C., Ciudad de Guatemala, Gu, 04/08/2018 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"Great big house with excellent amenities, good lake access and great views. Easy to find and get to. A great bargain for my friends and I. Finally we enjoyed some space to spread out and some privacy. Highly recommended" - Kathleen & Richard R., 04/02/2018 (VRBO Review)

"We loved the lake and your home, we all had a great experience. Santos and Josefina are very helpful and beautiful people." - Carolyn C., 03/30/2018 (VRBO Review)

"Perfect small house, lying devat lake and volcanoes.Perfect facilities, like a second home.Sergio is there for any worries and Flor answers all our questions so that our stay is as pleasant as possible.the best rental of all our holidays" - Séléna C., , 03/04/2018 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"The house was breathtaking and had great space. Awesome view of both volcanos (Atitlán and San Pedro)." - Chelsea B., Denver, Colorado, 03/03/2018 (VRBO Review)

"This place was amazing! Casa Paxanax is right off the lake. It was big enough for our party of 5 and was big enough for a family member that visited us for the day. The view is amazing and the view on the top room was even better. I would definitely return to this house." - Gerardo S., 03/17/2017 (VRBO Review)

"This is a great place is maybe in the best place of the this area of the lake you can swin! If you don't mind some cool water, house is nice have everything you need but cable tv (anyway you don't need it). Pros: location, hot water, kitchen, chimney, people who works here (santos and cleaning lady) are really helpful, info book Cons: slow internet but a least we had it, pier is really a little high and if you have a lot of things is a little problem... santos help you out with you things, power goes down, we spend of last night and half of day with no power... sad Also I have to said that walking to Santacruz for me was so fun but is not for everybody really challenging, and maybe is worth it no many things to do there, stay on lake and have fun! Get all you need from pana or where you staying, reserve the boat you get a better price talk to santos or Paola... anyway I like the house maybe I come back" - Cristian P., 01/23/2017 (VRBO Review)

"We loved our stay here. It is a charming rustic cabin on the lake outside of Santa Cruz. Santos is so helpful and the managers are great communicators making everything go smoothly. There are a couple restaraunts in Paxanax and you can walk to Santa Crux, but asking Santos to help get a boat is the best way to get around. It is really worth getting away from the bustle of Panajachel or San Pedro. Nt he nights are generally peaceful and the morning coffee on the patio is a dream when the volcanoes and lake are at their best. We loved he service and getaway." - Marika R., 09/03/2016 (VRBO Review)

"I've rented other lakefront properties and our experience with this was outstanding. Communication with the staff and property owner was fast and easy, and they were always willing to help.

"Wow! What incredible views! This is the second time I have stayed here and would highly recommend it! My family of five stayed here and everyone had a bed. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Rent a karaoke in the morning and take a swim to the right of the property on the rocks. Just amazingly beautiful!" - Brinson B., 11/09/2015 (VRBO Review)

"We loved our stay at this lakefront home on beautiful Lake Atitlan! The views are expansive and unrestricted, best enjoyed from the hammock and outdoor dining table. It was the perfect way to unwind after some long days of travel. We enjoyed cooking in the well-equipped kitchen while our kids played games left for guests to use. The home is tasteful and relaxed, very comfortable, and the owner provides detailed information about what to do at the lake. The caretaker was wonderful and made us feel welcomed and safe. This was my favorite stop on our entire vacation. Very highly recommended!" - Mary, State College, PA, 11/28/2014 (VRBO Review)

"We really enjoyed our stay at Casa de Phillipa, loved the gardens, Santos, the caretaker, the availability of the washer and dryer, the well-equipped kitchen, and the gorgeous porch where we spent most of our time. The location was private, yet we loved to watch the people going by. It was very convenient to have internet, which worked well. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of room for the two of us, and also for guests. Lake Atitlan is gorgeous, and each of the villages around the lake offer different opportunities for exploring. " - Greta B., P.O. Box 193,Be, 03/16/2014 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"We spent 11 days at Casa Paxanax in January 2013. The things we loved about this place were the fantastic lake and volcano views, the garden area, the patio, the roomy kitchen/dining/living room space, the upstairs master bedroom with private balcony and a helpful caretaker. However, there are several things on this listing and in the owner’s information sheet that did not line up with what we found when we arrived. 1) The wireless internet is not \" - mm, Boise ID, 02/20/2013 (VRBO Review)

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Paxanax, we found the house really comfortable and cosy, the VERY well equiped kitchen was perfect for cooking all the delicious ingredients purchased at the local markets, and having Parsley, rosemary and chiles in the garden helped. We used the boat and driver, but it is really easy and lots of fun to flagdown a taxi/boat to head for any destination, that is with many interesting stops, for less than a dollar ( 5 Q) We had lots of fun with the ping pong table and the kids loved the fact that they could watch a movie in the evening while we enjoyed our glass of wine and the breathtaking view.

"We stayed here in April and absolutely loved this charming home and garden as well as the fantastic views! It is truly a paradise and offered us the tranquil setting we were looking for at the end of our Guatemalan adventure. The staff at this home - especially the caretaker- were so helpful and accommodating and made us feel very welcome. My only word of caution to future guests would be that the speed boat had a bit of trouble with the weight of the six people in our party and broke down a few times. However, we still managed to get back forth as necessary so it was no big deal. I would recommend this house to anyone!" - Anonymous, Portland, OR, 07/15/2011 (VRBO Review)

"I very much appreciated your well equipped kitchen with all the necessary appliances to be able to cook up a really gourmet mea. Being open planned, it was fun to be able to cook, sip my wine and chat with our friends all at the same time. Our candle lit dinners outside on your front porch really made it for us! Many thanks." - hunn, New York, 04/14/2011 (VRBO Review)

"What a wonderful stay! The place was absolutely ideal. We loved being right on the lake front and having our own dock too. The house is not large but the huge out door patio doubles the size of the house and with such beautiful weather, we were mostly outdoors, or sunbathing on the round dock. Thank you, thank you for such a wonderful stay. We will be back!" - Pamela , Houston, TX, 04/14/2011 (VRBO Review)
