Vacation Cottage for Rent, San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala

Are you ready for your best vacation ever?

We’ve renovated his sweet cottage at Lake Laguna just in time! Just steps to the beach and in the best neighborhood.

Everything about this cottage says “someone cares”. You’ll get it as soon as you come through the gate … it sits on a big double lot, nicely landscaped with grass, hedges and flowers. And the cottage itself? It’s sweet! And a lot of it is new. What an awesome home base at the most incredible lake ever!

THE SUN ROOM: The home was one-story until we built a covered sun room with an almost 360-degree view of the lake and volcano. There’s a futon/pull-down couch (with pillow top and linens for sleeping), plus chairs and a small table. It has big windows so you get the view … we love to eat, read, or just visit with friends up there!

THE LIVING AREAS: The living room is spacious and comfortable, with a desk if you want to work and Bose speakers you can connect to your device.

THE BEDROOM: The new double bed with pillow top is in a separate room at the end of the living room. It’s wonderfully sunny with windows all around and curtains for evening privacy and great sleeping. The steps to the sun room are here too, so you don’t need to go outside.

THE KITCHEN: If you like to cook with quality items, you’ll love the kitchen. It’s a small enough space that you just need to turn around to get what you need. It also has ample counter space, a new oven, and a good-size fridge. We even installed a silent water pump outside to get great water pressure in the kitchen (a rarity in San Pedro).

PEACE & QUIET: We’re in one of the quietest sections of San Pedro — you will almost never hear a vehicle, and there’s only the occasional music. There are street dogs in San Pedro that occasionally disrupt the peace … but not for long.

SAFETY: San Pedro La Laguna is rated as very safe. Tourists can walk freely without fear, even at night. This might be due to the extensive security system they have in place — or it could be the awesome residents who don’t put up with crime. We have lighted security cameras on the path outside the cottage to be sure kids don’t spray graffiti on the cottage.

THE BACK STORY: This cottage is a labor of love between the owner, a Mayan with a wife and two young children, and a semi-retired creative writer.

They both loved the house, so they struck a deal: she would rent it and, with his help, would renovate the house to create a B&B which he could then manage, sharing any profit.

All this to say that you’ll feel at home because we worked together to make a space that feels good … a cottage we hope you’ll fall in love with!

THINK GLOBALLY, ACT LOCALLY: The Mayans at Lake Atitlan don’t have a lot of opportunity — this is our attempt to help create some. Please join us by renting our sweet cottage!
