This house is a 3 story house with a terrace and balconies that have views of the Sea of Cortez. La Paz is known for its sunsets and this house shows them off at their best.
The 3 bedroom, 4 and a half bath house is located one half block from the waters of La Paz bay. Along the shore of the bay is what the locals call the malecon (the wharf); this man-made walk parallels the shore of the Sea of Cortez. No traffic crosses the malecon so it is a relaxing walk. The locals walk it morning and night. They walk it in the early morning for exercise and after dinner as a social event. Good coffee and espresso are available. And there is always ice cream. And now a wonderful new gelato shop opened a block from the malecon.
The water of the bay is a half block away. Although not a true swimming beach, you can get wet and sit under a palapa to soak up the sun. Restaurants are close by for margaritas and food. Swimming beaches are not far away.
The house is about 5 blocks from the city center and the open city square. You might see a wedding party coming from the Catholic Church here. Pseudo Starbucks (Fifth Avenue Cafe) is on the corner. La Paz, the capital city of Baja California Sur, is a city of about 200,000 friendly people. There are many restaurants within walking distance; a pizza place (Pizza Rin Rin)is a half block away. Fresh seafood (Los Mariscos Restaurant)is a block away. A Chinese restaurant is on the malecon, 2 blocks from the house. There are a number of Europeans in La Paz who have opened ethnic restaurants. Seafood is fresh and tasty. Plan on going fishing your first day in La Paz and use the handy, well-equipped kitchen to cook your catch!
The house is in the city with convenient shopping, internet cafes, restaurants, and grocery stores within blocks. The Arumburo grocery store is well stocked with food and tequila choices. A taxi stand is a block and a half away. Within walking distance is the local Ibarra pottery shop; it is hard to visit here and not buy a keepsake to take home. A rental car agency (Eurocar) is a block away. Other major rentals (Budget, Avis) are within walking distance also. There are 2 Spanish schools within walking distance.
One bedroom with its own bath is on the bottom floor (very private) and two are on the third floor, each with their own bath, one with a balcony. Above the living quarters is a terrace with a charcoal barbecue grill. It is great for watching the frigate birds fly, for watching the boats coming and going into port, and for watching the famous La Paz sunsets.
If you love the convenience of a city, with a wonderful climate and views of the water, you'll love your stay here. |
