About this property
Welcome/Bienvenidos to our slice of paradise
Welcome to our Home. Bienvenidos, your home away from home. Our charming Mexican/Guatemalan home, where modern and authentic Mexico meet to offer you a true vacation in our 24/7 gate-guarded community of Las Gaviotas.
This home has the genuine ambiance of Mexico, thanks to the Spanish-style architecture and rustic décor that give the home a warm and inviting feel. Each room is full of color and character, with gorgeous exposed wood and brick, and lots of natural light. It’s easy to fall in love with this home instantly, as it hosts all of the comforts of your own home but with the breezy atmosphere of a relaxing vacation. Step outside onto the terrace or roof deck to feel the ocean breeze on your face while sunbathing on one of our few padded lounge chairs and an umbrella overhead, or grilling up an evening meal and sitting by our fire pit. We know that you will enjoy our home as much as we, our friends and many guests have over the years. We only have a handful of reviews because our guests have said that if they leave too many glowing reviews, the house will become too popular and won’t be available when they want to stay. We consider that the best compliment that we could ever receive! Our many repeat guests are the best testament to the home’s welcoming nature, and we are utterly confident that you’ll agree! We are happy to provide the number of a previous guest as a reference if you prefer. The maximum number of guests that we like is 4 and this is only for the upstairs. We may extend the use of the downstairs depending on the situation

About the host
Hosted by Alexei
I was born and raised in Guatemala. I lived in New York City, where I attended and graduated from NYU. I have since made Las Gaviotas my home. My wife and I are avid travelers, and we have decided that Mexico is the way to go. I am a homeowner in Las Gaviotas, so when you arrive for your vacation, I will meet you to get you situated for your stay
Why they chose this property
I am grateful to my friend Dan for helping us with the purchase of this home. This home has been from family to family. I have great familiarity with the area, should you need any advice or recommendations please reach out to me.
What makes this property unique
The house hosts many unique benefits. The goose down sofa, the fireplace, the open concept kitchen and Mexican tiles give the fully stocked kitchen an inviting feel, while the stainless steel appliances provide everything you’d need to cook from breakfast through dinner.
The living room and dining area overlook the crystal blue waters of the Pacific through the front window, where you can watch the sun set on the ocean while decompressing in front of the fireplace. The upstairs bedrooms are colorful with great natural light, qking size beds with down comforters, while the bathrooms are decorated with authentic Mexican tile and are equipped with amenities including hair dryers, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash to help lighten your suitcases while traveling to our home. When not enjoying the view, the fireplace, and the home’s WiFi and Satellite TV, head down to the community pool and hot tub, or out to the tennis courts for a lively match!
Finally, not every home has a personal concierge, but because I live close by, I am available to address any questions or needs that you may have.
Last but not least the huge roof deck
