Casa del Desierto: un paraíso desértico

My name is Monica. I grew up in Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, and have lived La Paz in 2008.

Since then, I've grown roots into the community through educational programs and efforts to advance environmental conscience in the form of organic gardens, recycling, and sustainable water-management practices.

As the name suggests, Casa del Desierto is decorated with a desert theme, from an intricate mural in the entranceway to a variety of rustic imagery throughout the house.

The house is 3 floors, plus the rooftop terrace with ocean view. This spacious rooftop is a great place to hang out and spend the afternoon barbecuing with friends and family or soaking in the hot tub and enjoying the sunset.

As you arrive, a staircase leads up to the main entrance on the second floor, which opens up into a living and dining room with a fully-stocked kitchen and an ample countertop. There is a small outdoor lounge on the second floor balcony, and the master bedroom on the third floor also has its own balcony.

The garage, which sports an electric gate operable by remote control, provides easy access to the large, first floor bedroom.

Guests have full access to the entire house. This includes kitchen, living room, dining rooms, and 3 bedrooms, each with their own full bathrooms. Two sport King beds and one has two Twin beds that convert into a single king bed. There is a rooftop terrace with a kitchenette, charcoal grill, hot tub, and a nice ocean view. There is also a laundry room on the ground floor with a washer and drier. There are air conditioning units in every room of the house.
We take pride in using non-toxic cleaning supplies, providing a healthier and more natural alternative, while being just as effective to synthetic-based conventional cleaners.

As La Paz doesn’t have a city recycling program, we go the extra mile and arrange for recycling ourselves. We offer recycling bins for our guests, which we then transport to proper recycling facilities outside of town.We are making efforts towards water conservation in La Paz.

We are adopting water-efficient technologies, growing mostly native vegetation in our decorative gardens, promoting responsible water usage, and building urban rainwater capture basins.

Finally, we provide canvas grocery bags you can use in your trips to the local stores, farmer’s and fish markets.

The ground floor bedroom, with its own full bathroom and king-sized bed, is easily accessible from the garage without a need to climb stairs making it excellent for older family members. That said, the home’s vertical, 3-story layout will often require climbing stairs to access common areas.
Only a block away from the boardwalk promenade, Casa del Desierto is in a quiet neighborhood with very little noise. Essentially, the promenade is your neighborhood.

On the promenade you can find a variety of restaurants and bars, as well as kayak and paddleboard rentals.
