Family-friendly vacation rentals in Totonicapán Department

good and nice place

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!

I cannot describe how beautiful and peaceful Casa Julia is. A slice of paradise. Hollie provided clear instructions and provided numbers for local drivers and Markus to assist us during our stay. We will definitely be returning if possible!

This place was absolutely beautiful. The ladies that came and cooked for us were amazing. Food was amazing and so worth hiring them to cook for us. There really isnt anywhere to get food from around the area. Josue went and purchased the groceries for us and made sure that we had everything we needed. I cant wait to book this place again.

Great stay. Two families each with two kids and plenty of beds and space for kids to run around. We hired a local chef, Juan Carlos, to cook dinners, which really turned the trip into a vacation. Plenty of coffee shops, restaurants, etc within 5 min walk. Mariano, caretaker, met us at dock to help carry luggage to the house. Temescal was very relaxing at night and we loved hearing the birds and wildlife scurry around. We had some cloudy weather so pool/jacuzzi wasn't warm, but we cant change the weather! 100% recommend.

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.

We stayed for 10 days and had a wonderfully relaxing time. Initially, we thought the description meant we could see the lake from where we stayed but it is really visible from the garden with a beautiful place to sit. The house is very comfortable and plenty of hot water etc. It felt very homelike, not a typical airbnb and we were very very happy there. Leisa even let us use her big kitchen oven to bake a cake and roast veggies although the one with the Casita was perfectly adequate for most things. Jaibalito is quiet, no doubt about it but there’s an easy hike to Santa Cruz if you want more excitement! Indigo bistro in front of the house is a great place to eat also.

Where do we begin? Juan Carlos' home in Cerro de Oro is magical. It's situated in a bay right on Lake Atitlan with incredible views every single day. It might honestly be the nicest place we've ever stayed in - all around exceptional. The house is two stories, living room & kitchen upstairs & beds downstairs. The grounds are spectacular - this family really thought of everything. They have a 2-person kayak which we took out every morning as well as a couple of paddle boards. There are 2 hammocks under the trees which we definitely relaxed in and then there's the hot tub. Oh, the hot tub. Words cannot describe the magic of this tub. It takes 2-3 hours to heat up so make sure to tell Tiburcio ahead of time and he'll get it all ready to go. We also spent the extra money and had Marina cook us all of our meals (for approx $10/day - it's coffee money) which helped us completely relax. The staff team were all wonderful and treated us like royalty including dogs Rocco & Negra!

It is a beautiful place with good views and access to the lake. The house has a longer checkout time so in the morning we went to San Juan village and we are not that in rush to checkout. By the lake the volcano views is gorgeous, even sitting at the patio outisde the kitchen you can see the volcano and a lots of stars in the night. However, better to use a 4x4 car to arrive. And there is a 5 minutes staircases walking down to arrive the house. The house is quite warm, not as chill as in the outside. The house is equipped well. A good choice for a group of people accomodation.

Beautiful house right on the lake, bedrooms were very comfortable. I liked having the kitchen and lounge open air as that’s where I want to be when at the lake. We enjoyed the dogs, the friendly old cat and all the birds. Tons of flowers. Elaine was very helpful with trail info and a boat contact. We didn’t end up kayaking this time but you’re perfectly situated to do so.

The main house is a great spot for yoga, the kitchen is where I would spend the daylight hours, brightly coloured and airy. The outside space is very natural with trees, birdsong and squirrels. Bats at dusk. The lake is close for some spectacular views, the IMAP and nearby shop have everything you need for the kitchen. I enjoyed my time here 🙏🏼

Was a pleasure to stay here! Away from the noisy city, amazing hosts who helped us with everything we wanted ( fan was broken and they got us a new one right away), they also have an amazing Italian restaurant that they give us a discount for, beautiful place, a view of the lake, great WiFi, it’s a walk from town (which we loved to get our steps in) or a Q10 per person tuk tuk

Amazing little spot in Santa Cruz, walkable to any area. Quiet and cozy, perfect for some vacation time. It's not the first time by boyfriend has booked this house and this time I was able to come as well. Super plus point: it's pet friendly and our dogs LOVED this short holiday!

Liliana was responsive throughout the whole stay and very helpful. The house is in a beautiful area at the bottom of the walkway. very quiet and about a 10 min walk towards the lanchas/ strip in san pedro

Beautiful cabin in a very quiet street. We felt very safe. Very little traffic, and close to restaurants.

Great place a few blocks from the central park with a responsive host!

We had a great time with my family. The place was cozy, clean and very well located, close to everything we needed. It felt like home, with details that made our stay comfortable and special. The host was very nice and helpful at all times. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for everything!

The pictures do not do this place justice. The views are incredible, and the natural light that the home gets during the day makes the stay feel so calm and peaceful. We extended our stay multiple times and could easily live here for a few months if we had the time. There aren't many pictures of the bathroom on the advertisement, but this was one of oru favourite parts. It is outside, which is small hindrance at night, but the view from the washroom is unmatched as you can see the volcanoes. The hosts were wonderful and very responsive, and Juan, the property manager, was always available to help us. Our dog, Evie, loved the small yard and we got some beautiful pictures of her on the sun deck. We were very glad to have a safe space for her to be outdoors. We hope o come back again one day.

The house is very beautiful. A lovely design and filled with beautiful touches and artwork. An amazing view off the veranda, and the gardens are relaxing and full of birds. We all enjoyed the clean pool very much too. Overall it was an amazing place to relax and recharge. There is a walk up to the local village of Santa Clara or tuk tuks to take you up the hill, and the village has a produce market on Saturdays. We also recommend CECAP for great meals with the best view, as well as fair trade traditional handicrafts. It was easy to get a boat at the public dock. It’s probably easiest to arrange your own driver and boat to the private dock as then it’s easy to contact them if they do not turn up or know where to go (problems we had through no fault of the host). Definitely shop in Pana as the shops are very small in Santa Clara. Be aware it was hazy every day for 6 days and apparently this is common in April (or other months too?) because of cane burning. However, the advantage of the

We had a fantastic stay at the property . The scenery and setting of this property is just serene . We were a group of 10 with adults and kids . The kids loved the place so much that they refused to even leave the property . Had a very restful 3 days of Christmas . We stayed over the Christmas break and walked to a nearby local church for the midnight service . Don Miguel ,,George and Theresa ( the helpers on the property ) were always available and very helpful . I wanted to leave a word of appreciation for Sylvia . She is super helpful and very responsive . Was always available to answer questions and provide a lot of helpful recommendations . By far the best Airbnb host that I have interacted with . Overall a wonderful experience

Great place very peaceful and secluded if you’re looking to disconnect. Beautiful surroundings with games and watercraft’s for our entertainment! Don Manuel was very helpful and everyone in town was very friendly and helpful also. We had a great stay and great time. Just be ready for very steep terrain 4x4 recommended for peace of mind, but doable in a 2 wheel drive

Great place for the price. Great view.

This place is such a gem. The house is beautiful and clean. The views are unmatched, absolutely breathtaking. We rented this Airbnb and our extended family rented the neighboring one, with others staying at the resort across the street. The cherry on top was all the concierge services (add-on costs) like breakfast, transportation, etc. that were smealessly arranged, taking the pressure off logistics. The concierge, Daniel, was amazing, so responsive, always helpful. We cannot recommend this place more highly.

Very nice place, the photos don't do it justice... we had a good time as a family, the service was good, the facilities well cared for, clean, quiet and you enjoy nature... Pd. it's worth paying for the pool heating
