Summary:
Casa Mexicana is located in the best block in town, only 50 feet away from the promenade. With its vibrant, elegant, spacious architecture, it is the perfect space to show off a traditional Mexican style. We meticulously decorated the space with the colorful talaverapottery, intense colors, and beautiful floral murals. You’ll love sitting in the sweet shade of the rooftop terrace and living room balcony, watching the sun set over the Sea of Cortez.
The Space:
Less than 50 feet away from the Malecón promenade, Casa Mexicana is located in the most upscale block in town. Quite literally, your backyard is the promenade.
As the name implies, Casa Mexicana is full of Mexican art and imagery, such as its colorful bougainvillea flower mural as you enter the house, and different Mexican-style murals in each of the rooms. The tasteful detail of the facade is so pretty that people often stop by to take selfies with Casa Mexicana in the background.
The house has 3 floors, with the patio, large pool, and charcoal grill on the ground floor, not to mention a small but very cute guestroom located between the garage and the backyard. The second floor is composed of the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Our guests really enjoy the living room with its small, very accessible terrace and view of the sea. The third floor has two beautiful rooms (and don’t forget to check out the view from the master bedroom). You can take the stairs up to the spacious shaded terrace on the roof— from which you’ll see the sun disappearing under the Sea of Cortez in the tranquil, but spectacular La Paz sunsets.
If you love to cook, this is the house for you: the fully-equipped kitchen is a gorgeous space with its hand-painted azulejo (Moorish tile) décor, and opens seamlessly into the dining and livings rooms, making entertaining a snap. Or if you prefer to feel the ocean breeze, fire up the poolside grill and dine on the fully furnished patio equipped with outdoor dinnerware.
And after a day of exploring, what better way to relax than to swim in Casa Mexicana’s spacious pool, surrounded by vegetation in your own personal oasis?
