About the host
Hosted by Lissa Young
I'm a native of Colorado but have traveled all over the world. I kept returning to Mexico. I usually stay in rental homes, and decided I needed one of my own. After a career in an office, the openness of the beach and the Pacific appealed to me. When I retired, I chose La Penita as my new home.
Why they chose this property
I love Mexico, its people and culture, and its climate. I look out at the Pacific every time I leave the house. What's not to love? I wanted a place that was close to an international airport for the convenience for family and friends, but far enough away to be out of the frenzy of the tourist areas. My neighborhood is a slice of Mexican life - families, businesses, a school, recreation, great neighbors - and I am in the middle of it, drinking in all that La Penita has to offer.
What makes this property unique
The location to the beach is a big plus. I enjoy the walled courtyard and pool which provides a quiet retreat. The neighborhood has a realness that is often missing in the resort areas. Since I live on the property as well, I am available should you need anything. I'll leave you alone if you want, but am here if you need assistance or recommendations. Need more space? Ask about additional two bedroom unit on property!
