Casa de Larry, Lakefront 3 Bedroom Villa, Private Deck and Palapa over the Lake

We have a lakefront property with a private dock, large deck with a Palapa roof over the lake. The house is a large 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bathroom modern villa. Magnificent views of the lake and volcanoes.

All stays at Casa de Larry will help our local Amigos de Santa Cruz foundation by donating 10% of the cost of the stay to building a new school for the children of Santa Cruz. Ask us about how you too can learn more and help with the Siqajan School building capital campaign.

The Palapa over the lake is one of the most unique features of this property. Ideal for weddings, parties, yoga, or just lounging in the sun. It consists of a 1000 sq ft deck with a palapa roof over half of the deck, providing ample sun and shade. Deck furniture, lounge chairs, hammocks and swings.

The house is a grand villa with huge bay windows looking out over the lake from the living room, dining room and bedrooms. There are three very large private bedrooms, each complete with a private bathroom consisting of double vanities, shower and tub. The master bedroom has a king sized bed, while the two guest rooms consist of 3 beds each (1 King sized, 3 doubles, and 2 can be rearranged to suit your needs). The house also has a fully equipped kitchen, patio, dining room, living room, and meditation room. Perfect for groups of couples, families, or individuals. The house can comfortably sleep up to 12 guests.

The house has a beautiful yard with palm trees, plenty of outside sitting and hammocks, outside furnished patio, lakeside hot tub/jacuzzi, dry/wet temazcal/sauna, Starlink WiFi Internet access, hot water, and a full kitchen with appliances.

Our house sits on the main lakefront path that runs from Santa Cruz to Paxanax. There are hotels and restaurants to enjoy within a 10 minute walk from our home. You can also reach any of the other villages around the lake for day trips by boat. The first public boats begin by 6 AM while the last ones return at 5:30 PM. Private boats can be arranged to pick you up or drop you off at our private dock at any time.

Enjoy the spectacular views of Lake Atitlán and the volcanoes while relaxing in comfort at Casa de Larry. We offer the perfect place for you and your guests to experience the wonders of Lake Atitlán.

Guest Access:

Guests renting the house will have full use of the entire house, yard, palapa deck, and private dock. We have a small casita behind the house where the onsite caretakers live.

If needed, we can recommend private shuttle transportation from the Airport in Guatemala City to the docks of Panajachel and a private boat ready to take you to our private dock. The cost is usually about $150 for the private shuttle for 6 people from Guatemala City and $20 for the private boat. My son and daughter-in-law, Larry and Sarah, are live in caretakers who live in the casita behind the main house part of the year. They will greet you when you arrive and be glad to answer any questions you may have about the property and the surrounding lakeside. Part of the year, we will have a property manager/housekeeper/cook Elena who will be available to assist.

Getting Around

The only way to arrive to Santa Cruz is by boat. If you arrive by car you can easily leave it parked in a secure car park in Panajachel called Kayucos Marino for 100Q a night, located right next to the public docks to Santa Cruz. Public boats run from the docks in Panajachel every 20 minutes and service all the villages from Panajachel to San Pedro. The rate for a public boat from Pana or San Pedro is Q25 per person, while a private boat can be negotiated for around Q150.
