Loved sitting on the balcony and watching the sunset.
There is plenty of room and overall it is a fine place to be. It does need a sparkle since the furniture is well used and the lighting is low. It is a relaxing place to be. The hill up to the house seems daunting to walk up, but it really is not bad.

Great weekend
Casa Juanita was just what we needed for a weekend break to get some peace and quiet. We enjoyed the beach with our dogs and the house had everything we needed to kick back and relax. We hope to be able to return here again. Just one note the house has a TV but it is only for watching DVDs so suggest you bring some of your own with you if that's important. We brought our laptop so watched some TV shows on that.

Away from it all
We enjoyed our stay at Casa Juanita in the tiny village of Aticama. The house is clean, there is plenty of hot water, and the kitchen well stocked. Umberto checks on you daily to assure you have all you need. The house dog, Lulu, and cat, Stitch, are treats. There is only one small market in town that takes credit cards. Everyone else deals only in pesos, which you can get at the ATM in San Blas. The pollo place down the hill is excellent. Restarants all have the same menu of seafood and are very good. We found El Chaco on Mantachen beach to be very handy for food, drinks, hammocks, shade and bathrooms. About $2 US per person. Bring books and games as this is a very poor, family oriented town which closed up after dark.

Wonderful Stay
We had the most wonderful stay. Aticama is a paradise and Casa Juanita has everything we needed. It's clean and spacious enough for 2 couples or a small family. House keeper; Don Beto, is nice and helpful. We would definitely come back.

Two Weeks in Paradise!
We booked Casa Juanita for 2 weeks and could not have enjoyed our stay more. The main house and the guest house are both absolutely adorable, colorfully painted and with an artist's accents everywhere. The first week it was just my husband and myself and the second week another couple joined us. Casa Juanita is perfect for two couples because each can have a very private bedroom and bathroom of their own. But the common area, dominated by a long, open veranda with views of the ocean and red sunsets, is where we spent most of our time. The open air kitchen was well equipped and we made our own dinners almost every night preferring to stay home after days filled with outdoor adventures such as: a fishing trip, whale watching trip, bird watching trip, sitting on Aticama's beach (which is entirely empty of other people during the week), swimming in the ocean, and shopping and lunch-ing out in San Blas and the other nearby towns. The caretaker came to the house almost every day to do yardwork, maintenance, and check that we had everything we needed. The house is on a hill above the town (about 2 blocks down a cobble stone street very typical of Mexico) and is about 4-6 blocks to the stores and shops which have everything you need. Aticama is not a tourist town at all, which made it ideal for us as we prefer to have a more authentic experience when traveling. Most of all we were seeking peace and quiet, fresh air, beautiful scenery, and some hammock time with a good book. We felt entirely rejuvenated after 2 weeks in paradise and plan to book this house for at least 2 weeks every year from now on.
