Ajijic Paradise

This is our second time to stay in this home. It is spacious and the backyard is sooo beautiful. This location is the best. Residential feel, but just one street over to Malecon and a short walk to the main section of town. Owner was always available for any questions and Prop Mgr. always answered promptly. We keep choosing this property as it is such a special place to relax. Pool cover keeps water just the right temp. This place will forever be our Ajijic go to. You can’t go wrong here!

Trying Not To Be Too Picky, But...

We understand that our stay in September was during the rainy season so the humidity was high and mosquitos were abundant. The home felt safe, the wifi was good and the location worked well for walking Ajijic. There is a small AC unit in the master bedroom which worked well but there is little airflow to the rest of the house so we had to purchase a pedestal fan and moved it around with us. There is some screening with the patio doors but no screens on the front door so no good access for a breeze. We decided to take drinks to the mirador but it was just nasty with nothing we wanted to sit on. Carpets don't really get cleaned they get swept so we took the the smaller ones outside and shook them as there was plenty residue from previous renters. The showers were a big dissapointment. There were 3 to chose from: The master was cramped with very little water flow and it did not drain well. The tile shower offered more room and better flow until you tried to get hot water then the flow went to a dribble as the single control handle was broken. The third was in a bathtub and offered equally disappointing flow. All three shower heads were damaged. I pulled the insulation off the pool and saw it was pretty dirty. I stuck my arm in it and the top 4 inches of water was warm and the rest was colder. I checked it 3 more times during the day with the same result - This means the water was stagnant with no circulation, we never used it for that reason. So, no mirador, no pool, no airflow, no showers to speak of, the house is old and smells like it to the point we didn't put our clothes in the walk-in closets, not the experience we were hoping for.

Ideal Location

We had a wonderful stay at this home. Gardens were so beautiful and outdoor lounge spaces were great for siestas. Home is very nicely appointed with interesting artwork throughout. Location was ideal as a short walking distance to everything: Malecon, Plaza, restaurants. Streets are cobblestone so be prepared with footwear. Wish we would have stayed longer. Owners were very communicative throughout and we thank them for sharing their home with us. You will not be disappointed.

Much better than photo's show

We lived in Ajijic at one time and knew this area and what to expect for the most part. The house was much better than the photos suggested and was perfect for our needs. Lot's of outdoor living space which is wonderful this time of year and pretty much all year. We were able to walk to our favorite dining places or drive there easy. Would certainly stay here again. Schedule a 1/2 day to just look at the interesting collections in the house alone!

About the host

Hosted by Randy Greene

My husband Andrew and I retired a few years ago and fell in love with the wonderful community of Ajijic. We enjoy the outside living and terrific friendly people. We prefer to leave the driving to others so a walkable location in town is perfect for us. We are fortunate to have an apartment in NYC, a country home on the Hudson River 2 hours north of NYC and now a beautiful mexican home.
I was a NYC school teacher for 30 years and Andrew was in real estate banking and a private consultant. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Why they chose this property

This house is quite unique, not only due to it's location in the village which contains restaurants, stores and financial services but also because it's only one block from the largest lake in Mexico. Although there is a circular driveway with two automatic garage doors, a car is not necessary.A taxi stand is only a few blocks from the house although drivers will pick you up right in front of the house if you call in advance.The local bus, 7 pesos, is 1 block away going towards the town of Chapala, the Wednesday market and many shops and restaurants, including Wal-Mart.
We just completed an entire paint job, in and outside although with the construction of a mirador to get sunset,lake and mountain views. This is located right outside of the kitchen door for easy access.
