Incredible short stay at Casa de Larry! Larry was very communicative ahead of time, even offered flexibility when our plans could have potentially changed very last minute. Elena is an incredible cook! Highly recommend! Larry connected us with a boat captain that we used for our entire stay which was extremely helpful. Would return here again and again! Thank you Larry and Elena!

We traveled with our family of four, including two preteen kids. Everything about this stay was great, starting with the stellar communication and detailed information Larry provided. Before our arrival, we had a wealth of resources at our fingertips covering transport, food recommendations, and key tidbits to ensure things went smoothly. Some highlights: - Elena's cooking! We had two breakfasts and two dinners, and each meal was terrific Better, and even more affordable, than any restaurant we visited in the Santa Cruz area. Take advantage of this wonderful perk of Casa de Larry. - There is a trail that connects local villages Paxanax and Jaibalito which we used often. Beautiful and nice for adventuring, finding new swimming holes, and spots to post up for a cocktail. - The dock directly in front of Larry's place was nice, but equally great was the public dock next door. Our kids probably jumped off it a hundred times. - There's a soccer field adjacent to the property which can be accessed for a fee. We used it for sport and to workout while visiting.- The house is bigger than pictures suggest, and has every possible thing you could need to live comfortably. The kitchen is stacked with cooking supplies.

Relaxing Place

Beautiful and peaceful location with views of volcanoes and lake! I loved that any question I had, was answered quicly. We lost lights the second day and we were given steps on how to turn on the generator! This is our second time at Casa de Larry and we enjoyed our stay there. I will definitely stay there again!

Larry is very helpful and communicative. He is definitely a part of the community in Santa Cruz La Laguna. Larry has a wonderful local woman, Elena, who was able to cook us several meals and assist with a few groceries. The Guatemalan food she made was a delicious highlight!The location is fantastic. It’s a short 5-10 minute boat ride from Panajachel. There is a walking path that goes from the front of the property, along the waterfront to the public dock and beyond. There were several restaurant options and a little tienda there. The property is also next door to a manicured soccer field which can be cheaply rented by the hour (to the delight of a 10 year old boy in our group). The hot tub was clean and hot! There are several outdoor hang-out areas to choose from. Coffee on the palapa was serene and lovely.

A vacation amidst our vacation

This is a wonderful place to enjoy the beauty of the lake. It’s totally comfortable with beautiful gardens and views. The kids loved jumping off the dock and swimming. Elena, the housekeeper, is a great cook which was much better than going to restaurants. It was easy to get around. Lots of cozy places to read a book and relax. I would highly recommend staying here!

Best VRBO in last decade of our travels

Absolutely amazing! I’ve never once gotten to a VRBO or other rental and said to myself: “holy s&@t, this place is far better than advertised.” From the spaciousness of the home and outdoor areas, to the lush gardens, to the sauna and hot tub, and to the absolute best location and view on the lake (you’re looking out across the lake right in the middle of the two main volcanoes) this property never ceased to impress us during our stay.

Excellent stay right on the lake

Everything was great. We were only 5 people but the house could easily fit more, so there was plenty of room for us to spread out. The housekeeper cooked us a few meals and did laundry which was a nice option and reasonably priced. Having a private dock allowed us to have a private boat drop us off with our bags right at the house. The outdoor and lounge areas were great too. Highly recommended.

So good that we will be back!

Ideal location: spectacular unbroken view of Lake Atitlan guarded by 2 volcanos, garden beautifully cared for with a riot of colors, many outside "rooms", mid-century modern house, clear water swimming off the dock, hot tub with view, 5 minute walk to Santa Cruz. Larry, is easy to reach, quick to respond. Look no further!

Loved our stay at Casa de Larry!

We loved staying at Casa de Larry! What a unique place to stay and visit. Our stay in Santa Cruz will be the most memorable of our entire Guatemala journey. The host was very responsive and also helped us in some ways to navigate the country even away from the house. The house was like it was described in the listing with many places to relax and it was just a short walk to the main dock in Santa Cruz. My only regrets were that we didn't book a few more days and that we chose a hazy time of year to come. The view across the lake wasn't as nice as the pictures, but nothing can be done about the weather.

Luxurious Lakeside Retreat

Casa de Larry is perfect for a relaxing escape from daily life. Eleven of my close friends and family and I enjoyed our stop at Atitlan along our trek across Guatemala. Casa de Larry afforded ample space to socialize in every setting on could seek. Soaking in the sunset and stargazing from the spacious deck and playing cards in the groovy lounge were favorite experiences at this exceptional property, enhanced with lavish gardens and exquisite views, with all the conveniences of home. The private dock made transport to Panajachel easy and the jacuzzi soothed all of our muscle aches from daytime hikes. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. Highly recommend.

Amazing unwind destination

Casa de Larry was an amazing place to stay to unwind and enjoy beautiful views from sunrise to sunset. As a frontline worker, this trip was cancelled for me at the start of the Pandemic. Working hard thru the pandemic as an ER nurse, this was exactly what was needed to forget and relax a bit. Larry is an amazing host and a great communicator. I will definitely be back for a family reunion that will include my three boys, who would love to jump into lake Atitlan!

Paradise

We all agreed Casa de Larry was our favorite stay in Guatemala! Check in was easy so was check out! We were given advise where to eat and boat prices. Swimming at the lake was our favorite activity so enjoyed that there was a dock to jump off of. All rooms were spacious and the kitchen was stocked with needed items. And yes, we will definitely come back and stay our only wish was that we stayed longer!

best christmas on the lake

My family of 12 stayed at Larry's house for Christmas for 3 nights and it was the most amazing experience. He welcomed us at his private dock when we arrived from Panajachel and helped us take all of our luggage and things in. The house was very clean and fully equipped! We made christmas dinner there for our entire family and he had enough kitchen supplies for everything. Even had some things in the fridge and said we could use (honey, juice, strawberries). There was also a helper than came in to help us clean up the kitchen, wash dishes, sweep, etc. All twelve of us comfortably fit in the home and there were various communal spaces around the house to enjoy. We really liked that because there was space for the older people to just sit down and talk but also another space with couches where the younger ones could play games without disturbing the rest of the group. (There is also a game closet that we took full advantage of) The house was picture perfect with a private palapa with comfy couches that we sat on to see all of the fireworks from the surrounding towns on christmas eve. We had such an amazing view of the lake from the front door and even the master bedroom. What a beautiful sight to wake up to! We were able to get into the lake right from the private dock too! Overall Larry was an amazing host, and truly gave my entire family a magical christmas that we will never forget. Thank you Larry for sharing your amazing home. We really hope to be back one day.
