This is a perfect home for a vacation. Why stay in a hotel when you can stay in a nice private home for less? Our house is on the western edge of Ajijic, just a 15 minute walk to the middle of town.
Our home is almost 1200 square feet with two full bedrooms and two full baths. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, a walk-in closet, shower, and a large tub. It is light and bright with many windows and a patio door that opens to a private back yard. An electronic gate opens to four homes with secure parking. It was built in 2003 and has a view of the nearby mountains.
A walk to Ajijic's main shops on Colon takes about 15 minutes. There are at least 10 restaurants within walking distance, as well as many small shops and stores. Very inexpensive bus service is also just steps away for those who choose not to have a car.
The town of Ajijic is about 500 years old with narrow cobblestone streets. It is located on the north shore of Lake Chapala, Mexico's largest natural lake. The Lake Chapala weather is semi-tropical and rated as one of the best in the world. It also hosts the largest number of US and Canadian ex-pats in the world. It is difficult to walk down the street without visiting with someone. It is town to fall in love with--we did.
The main shopping area in Ajijic has unique art galleries, antique shops, custom clothing, sewing, and even second-hand stores to find valuable treasures. The local outdoor market operates every Wednesday. Here you can find fresh fruit and vegetables, jewelry, clothes, CDs, DVDs, etc.
After a hard day's work of golfing, hiking, shopping, or at the spa/bathhouse, what could be better than relaxing with a margarita (or a coke)on your own private patio in Ajijic. |
