Holiday rentals with lake access in Santiago Atitlán

This Airbnb is what Airbnb was supposed to be 10 years ago. It’s not just another property from a manager that you never see. Jean was very warm welcoming and welcomed us herself on our arrival. She was very proactive by giving us some tips from what to do, where to go or eat. She answered really quickly and helped us organized some massage sessions. The property is as described. The heated pool, the private beach and dock. Be aware that there are a lot of steps in the property and that arriving there from San Marcos may be a little difficult because of the road. But in my opinion those aren’t a problem after you see how beautiful it is there. I hope I can return one day

This is by far the best Airbnb I have ever stayed at. I’ve traveled to a lot of Airbnb’s in many different countries and none compare to this. Finding this place is surely an adventure but once you are there, you don’t want to leave! I can’t say enough good things about the chefs that will cook you every meal. We had them do all the shopping for our meals along with other items we wanted such as water and beer. The housekeeper services that help coordinate private boat rides to other villages, keeping the place clean, or even small things such as turning on the hot tub while we are away are truly incredible perks of this place. The property and views are just amazing and I can’t wait to come back here for my next stay!

We had a little family vacation here and it was everything is was advertised to be and more! The staff are all very helpful and responsive. Salvador the property manager was incredible! From keeping the pool clean between our times in to doing grocery runs into the city, he was amazing. All the activities listed were so fun and very family friendly! The rooms were all very clean and there was even bug spray to help with the incests outside. All the local contacts for boat and tour services were also incredibly sweet. Very considerate, accommodating and for a friendly price! Overall, we would definitely consider coming back should we ever want to visit Atitlan and the surrounding towns.

This home was incredible! Not only is the location fantastic - private, right on the lake, easy to drive to, walkable to San Marcos - but it is decorated, furnished and staffed to feel like a luxury getaway. I would recommend taking the staff up on the option to have a chef and massage therapist come during your stay. I cannot say enough good things about this place. It was the perfect getaway for our family and we look forward to returning.

Great place to stay for a decent price! Taxis come by every now and then so you might have to wait awhile. House was just as beautiful as the pictures.

La Casita del Lago was the perfect location for a gun and relaxing family trip. Lots of room for everyone, outdoor and indoor areas were comfortable and well designed. We used the grill and fire pit, hammocks and paddle boards. The best part was the support by the staff at the house, Rudy, Rosa and Maria were fantastic and they made our stay memorable. we will definitely come back!

This was a nice apartment in a local part of San Pedro, close to a couple of Spanish schools. It was clean, the kitchen well stocked and the beds were very comfortable with clean fresh linens. The best part was the above board service from our hosts. We were provided with eggs and bread when we arrived and they responded immediately to any requests. Highly recommend and should we return to San Pedro we would stay here again! Thanks Rosa for all your help.

Espectacular lugar, vistas increíbles, el kayak fue un hit entre mi grupo de amigos, Juanito el guardián una maravilla de persona.... Sin duda volveremos!!!

The best view I’ve ever had at an Airbnb! The balcony was a dream, and the grounds that the apartment is based on are gorgeous. Deedle and Claudia were super responsive and helpful, and Diego was a superstar! We loved our time here.

The place has an amazing view—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. The check-in instructions were clear and everything went smoothly without any delays. The host was very responsive and helpful. We’ll definitely be coming back again! -— El lugar tiene una vista espectacular, ideal para relajarse y disfrutar del entorno. Las instrucciones para llegar y hacer el check-in fueron muy claras, todo sin ningún tipo de retraso. La anfitriona fue muy atenta y respondió rápidamente a cualquier duda. Sin duda, regresaremos en otra ocasión.

Jenny and Clemens’s place is truly magical and an ideal spot for first-timers visiting Lake Atitlán. We instantly fell in love with the stunning views and the peaceful atmosphere during our two-day stay. From the start, Jenny and Clemens were incredibly welcoming and responsive. They helped us arrange roundtrip shuttle service from Antigua and even organized a private lancha to reach their home, making everything so easy. Thanks to their great location, we could walk to nearby spots like Casa del Mundo, Isla Verde, and even take a cooking class in Santa Cruz. Getting around by public lanchas were also simple. Just flag one down at the dock, and the drivers know exactly where to drop you off on your return.

We had a lovely stay here on Lake Aitlan. It was so homely, Nico was very welcoming when we first arrived and throughout the trip, along with Venus and Mary - they were all so helpful. The views were incredible for the platform and so relaxing! All the villages were in easy reach via boat or tuk tuk. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking to be surrounded by a lovely community in a peaceful location.

We really enjoyed our stay at Rocio's place, the views are absolutely stunning! It was so peaceful and we enjoyed the fireplace upstairs. Would love to return one day!

Great stay, as others mentioned the view is better then the photos, would stay again!

Es un lugar muy acogedor, con una vista espectacular, mejor que en la fotos. Las instalaciones muy buenas. Super recomendado para desconectarse y relajarse. Esperamos volver muy pronto

Muy lindo el lugar gozamos de las piscinas, jacuzzi, temascal, la fogata, los kayaks, la mesa de Pool todo muy bien organizado. Nos encantaron todas las actividades !

Un lugar increíble La casa es hermosa, muy cómoda y con vistas espectaculares al lago. La atención fue excelente, todo superó nuestras expectativas. ¡100% recomendada!

Galileo is so caring and kind. He help us to take the luggage from the private deck to the house, and when we check out, he helped us to get on a boat to our next destination. He is very caring for his guests. For the property, one thing to note is that the shower head on the top is out of service, so you can only use the handheld shower head. But everything else is super good. Santa Cruz is a quiet town if you want to get dinner you have to reserve beforehand with the local restaurant.

Casita del Sol is a very special place in Santa Cruz. I came to do some soul healing and the casita was the perfect place. Marcelo the guardian was very helpful during the stay. I especially enjoyed the quiet, surrounding nature, incredible views, and private garden where I could meditate peacefully. There are also 2 little kitties that came to say hello everyday. Loved my stay here, Pat was very responsive and helpful. Thank you

Un lugar muy agradable, ideal para descansar en familia y disfrutar del uno de los lagos más bellos. La atención muy buena, amables, atentos. Cerca del pueblo, le jacuzzi se puede disfrutar a toda hora. Definitivamente volvería a hospedarme allí.

Great place! Absolutely loved the direct access to the water. The house is very cute and exactly like the photos. The steps to get to San Marcos can be a lot, but it was doable and really worth it in the end!

My friend and I had a lovely few day stay in Becca's place. It was nice to have our own little part of Santiago - lovely views of the lake and nearby volcano, a great restaurant on the premises, and of course, the cabin itself was well appointed. There was lots of purified water, a great kitchen with fridge and comfortable bedding. We would highly recommend this place for anyone wanting a special stay while visiting Santiago, and Lago Atitlan..

Un hermoso lugar para disfrutar del lago. Fiona respondió siempre con mucha amabilidad. Tomar en cuenta que son muchas gradas para llegar a la casita desde la carretera pero vale la pena.

One of the best Airbnb's I've ever stayed at. If you're on the fence, PICK THIS ONE, I swear. The location: close enough to Panajachel to take a $10Q tuctuc easily (Daniela's has recommendations of trusted drivers), but far enough to be away from the chaos. The surroundings are absolutely stunning. Better than the photos. The deck is the perfect place to do some yoga in the morning, or sip coffee overlooking the lake. Amenities: everything listed and then some. The bathtub is amazing. Paddleboards available for use at the private beach. I learned how to use an Italian coffee maker as well. Daniela was lovely, ask her about paragliding :) She was super responsive and helpful answering all of my questions about Pana, nearby towns, and best ways to get around.
