About this property

Charming casita with pool, in quiet part of Antigua and walkable to everything!

Our casita is super comfortable, charming, safe and a convenient place to call home while visiting magical Antigua, Guatemala. Our fully-equipped home has all the conveniences of modern living in the timelessness of old world Central America. The kitchen was fully renovated in 2023, adding the modern comforts we all appreciate to this charming home.

It is an ideal house for couples, families, groups of friends, volunteers at the many nonprofit organizations surrounding Antigua, those who are attending Spanish school, or anyone who simply wants a peaceful place to enjoy beautiful Guatemala.

The house is located within walking distance of everything in Antigua. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to the Central Park, dozens of restaurants (just 5 minutes to the famous Hotel Panza Verde), the best grocery store, the food and craft markets, a wonderful spa, a gym, and even a movie theater.

The exact location is 9th Calle Poniente between 5th Avenida Sur and Santa Lucia. It is a small, gated community of townhomes with a security man on duty 24-hours a day. Our cheerful home is located at the back of the property, across from the pool, and farthest from the cobblestone street so the noise of traffic is far away and you can sleep peacefully, waking to the cacophony of birds in the trees behind the house.

The house has everything you need to make your stay in Antigua comfortable and memorable. The colorful dishes, fabrics, and wall hangings bring Guatemala indoors, and locally-made rod-iron chandeliers in the upstairs rooms hang from 15 foot ceilings. The modern kitchen has a good selection of pots, pans, and utensils to make cooking easy, and you can stay connected to the rest of the world through the cable TV and fast and reliable high-speed internet access. The comfortable beds are fitted with 100 percent cotton sheets and the bath towels and pool towels are 100 percent cotton. The full-sized washer and dryer will make vacation laundry a breeze. You'll also appreciate the screened windows (unusual in Antigua) that will keep the mosquitoes out so you can enjoy the great Antigua weather all year round. We also have pressurized water - a rarity in Antigua - so your showers will be powerful!

Upon your arrival you will find the Welcome Book, complete with helpful information about restaurants, sites, activities, excursions, and tips about the house. Our property manager lives in Antigua and our house keeper is also an excellent cook if you would like to hire her to cook you a typical Guatemalan meal.

So, enjoy a glass of wine or a cup of coffee while sitting on the tiled patio watching your kids swim in the huge pool just in front of the house. Or stroll the grounds and look up to see the volcano Agua keeping a watchful eye on you, while you pick limes from the garden trees.

And at the end of a day spent in Antigua, you'll be happy to return to our quiet and peaceful community. You'll walk through the gates, be greeted by the security men who are always on duty, return to our lovely casita and feel instantly at home!

Lovely place, quiet location
Great house, cosy and clean, out of the main hustle and bustle but still very walkable to everythhing. The pool is a real bonus on a hot day. We liked the local sourdough pizzza place as well.

Lovely lovely casita
Our family of 4 (teens, ages 15, 17) loved staying in this casita. It is clean and safe and welcoming! Plenty of room for everyone inside the house and around the pool in this gated community. All of the furnishings were appreciated and the communication was excellent. This casita is close - only about a 10 minute walk to the central park and near everything. We swam in the pool and could see the volcano! Very beautiful and peaceful. Highly recommend. We will come again!

Quiet and nice place to stay
This house is very quaint and comfortable. We stayed here for five weeks while I studied Spanish at CSA It’s a condominium housing project. That’s very quaint and quiet. We had great neighbors. Property manager Valerie, is very responsive to any need. The cleaning lady Zoila is an honest, hard-working, kind and friendly lady. She only charges $20 to clean the entire house. We had a very nice time in Antigua.

About the host

Hosted by Julie Stewart

Host profile image
We live in Washington, D.C. I ran a nonprofit for 25 years and am now retired and my husband is the Dean of the University of Baltimore School of Law. We have two daughters, ages 18 and 15, who love our house in Guatemala!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Antigua during the adoption of our youngest daughter from Guatemala in 2003. After returning for visits for a couple of years and staying in other people's houses, we decided to buy our own house because we always want a connection to Guatemala.

What makes this property unique

Our house feels like home. It's very comfortable and welcoming and it takes no time to feel as if you belong there. It's proximity to central Antigua is perfect: you're close enough to walk to everything in 10 minutes but far enough away to escape the noise. You'll awake to birds chirping instead of the sound of cars bumping over cobblestone streets. It's also wonderful to have such easy access to the pool (which is hardly ever used) and the grassy open space. You can invite your friends over to swim or host a party in the grassy area in front of our house. The security men provide tables and chairs to seat a large group, at no extra cost. Make the most of your stay in this charming city and our welcoming house!
