Casa Mexicana Summary

Summary:
Casa Mexicana is located in the best block in town, only 50 feet away from the promenade. With its vibrant, elegant, spacious architecture, it is the perfect space to show off a traditional Mexican style. We meticulously decorated the space with the colorful talaverapottery, intense colors, and beautiful floral murals. You’ll love sitting in the sweet shade of the rooftop terrace and living room balcony, watching the sun set over the Sea of Cortez.

The Space:
Less than 50 feet away from the Malecón promenade, Casa Mexicana is located in the most upscale block in town. Quite literally, your backyard is the promenade.

As the name implies, Casa Mexicana is full of Mexican art and imagery, such as its colorful bougainvillea flower mural as you enter the house, and different Mexican-style murals in each of the rooms. The tasteful detail of the facade is so pretty that people often stop by to take selfies with Casa Mexicana in the background.

The house has 3 floors, with the patio, large pool, and charcoal grill on the ground floor, not to mention a small but very cute guestroom located between the garage and the backyard. The second floor is composed of the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Our guests really enjoy the living room with its small, very accessible terrace and view of the sea. The third floor has two beautiful rooms (and don’t forget to check out the view from the master bedroom). You can take the stairs up to the spacious shaded terrace on the roof— from which you’ll see the sun disappearing under the Sea of Cortez in the tranquil, but spectacular La Paz sunsets.

If you love to cook, this is the house for you: the fully-equipped kitchen is a gorgeous space with its hand-painted azulejo (Moorish tile) décor, and opens seamlessly into the dining and livings rooms, making entertaining a snap. Or if you prefer to feel the ocean breeze, fire up the poolside grill and dine on the fully furnished patio equipped with outdoor dinnerware.

And after a day of exploring, what better way to relax than to swim in Casa Mexicana’s spacious pool, surrounded by vegetation in your own personal oasis?

Guest Access:
Guests have access to all areas of the house, including the patio with pool and gas grill, rooftop terrace, bedrooms, and kitchen, living room, and dining room, and laundry room with a washer and drier. There are air conditioning units in every room of the house.

We take pride in using non-toxic cleaning supplies, providing a healthier and more natural alternative, while being just as effective to synthetic-based conventional cleaners.

We are making efforts towards water conservation in La Paz. We are adopting water-efficient technologies, growing mostly native vegetation in our decorative gardens, promoting responsible water usage, and building urban rainwater capture basins.

Finally, we provide canvas grocery bags you can use in your trips to the local stores, farmer’s and fish markets.

The Neighborhood:
The inexhaustible natural beauty of the Gulf of California begins on the promenade, a mere 50-foot walk from your door. You’ll find white sands and boat rides to the islands for scuba diving, snorkeling, and swimming with the playful sea lion cubs. Remember, this area is very popular, so there might be some loud noises during the weekends and holidays.

Don’t forget the cafés, shops, and restaurants that decorate its curve along the La Paz cove. Notable spots include Bismarckito, a famous outdoor seafood and taco restaurant with a fabulous view of the sea, literally around the corner from Casa Mexicana.

In fact, many more of La Paz’s finest restaurants are within a block or two of the house.
The neighborhood restaurants include Ambrusia, JR Ribs, Tres Virgenes, Sorstis, 1240 coffee shop, La Masa (a fantastic pastry bakery), a block away is the Mezcalería de La Paz, an inviting place heavily frequented by locals and tourists alike to savor its broad Mezcal selection.

When you’re in the mood for home-cooked meals, you’ll find the ingredients in two traditional Mercados within strolling distance, where you can buy fresh fish, meats and vegetables. And don’t forget to visit the farmer’s market which goes on in the mornings of Tuesday and Saturday.

Other Things to Note:
It’s worth reiterating that Casa Mexicana has a very cute ground floor bedroom with its own bathroom, excellent for older family members traveling with you. On weekends, there tends to be a lot of activity in the neighborhood at night, so you can hear music and conversations coming from the malecon, the street, and the Oxxo across the street.

Keep an eye out for the huge (but harmless) iguanas owned by our next door neighbor, which you can sometimes see sunning themselves on the big wall behind the pool.
