House rentals in Ajijic

Casa Jorge - Next to Lake Chapala Society
Great location close to everything, attentive hosts, spotless house that was well stocked. The highlight was the mirador where we sat and watched the sunrise and sunsets.

Casa Manantial 4 Senderos del Lago Jocotepec, Jal.
The house was well appointed. And it was in a peaceful development. We enjoyed outside space and the pool area. The hosts were friendly and helpful. We all agreed we would return!

House for rent, short or long term
You couldn't ask for a better host than Juan. This is a huge home for a large family or two couples with all the necessities. If you enjoy pickleball, it's half a block away! Everything is virtually within a 10-20 min walk - so no car is necessary unless you want to explore further. With the perfect weather we spent most of our waking hours on the patio and couldn't have asked for a more relaxing environment, apart from the music from the hotel on the lake on weekends - though probably not an issue for most who don't go to bed at 9 😉 My wife and I spent 2 months here, and we're still trying to figure how the time went by so quickly. You will not regret choosing this wonderful home to explore the uniqueness that Ajijic offers, and that is from a couple that have traveled extensively around the world.

A good stay, quiet place, the pool water was cold at the beginning but it really improved the other days... excellent communication with the host who was always on the lookout and answered our requests very quickly. A quiet and relaxed stay that was what we were looking for.

Casa Con Comfortable
Beautiful and calm place from busy Ajijic. Very private space with a pool, it was more than expected.

Chapala Glamping Jacuzzi/Wifi/Air Conditioning
Perfect for spending one or two nights, you can go out to visit Ajijic or Chapala and return to the dome to enjoy the jacuzzi at night outside. With the heat, the inside of the dome heats up, so during a certain period of the day you may prefer to spend it outside. 10/10 we really liked spending the night

Javier's house is beautiful and very spacious. We stayed very comfortably and it was always clean thanks to the help of Mr. Miguel. Highly recommended for a relaxing weekend with friends or family.

House in Buenavista for 13 people with an option for 17
The place is very spacious and beautiful. Perfect for having a good time and relaxing. Upon arrival, there were communication problems as Ephren was slow to respond and the address was not accurate on the platform. Basically, it was the only drawback we had. We left a table behind and Mr. Gabriel was very helpful in delivering it to us days later.

Vacation in the most beautiful place, Ajijic
Despite it being winter, the pool was always warm, and that definitely made the difference for us. Always on time, everything was clean and tidy, and we would definitely like to return

Your guide to Ajijic
All About Ajijic
Set on the north shore of Lake Chapala and nestled in the Sierra Madre Mountains, Ajijic is known for its low-key atmosphere and rustic scenery. Given distinction as a Pueblos Magicos or “Magic Town” by Mexico’s Ministry of Tourism, Ajijic’s uniqueness is felt walking its cobblestone streets lined with colorful buildings, murals, and gardens. To the north, Sierra de San Juan Cosala Park offers hiking trails and waterfall views. Vistas of Lake Chapala, Mexico’s largest body of fresh water, can be taken in while walking the Malecon de Chapala promenade, and be sure not to miss the Danza de la Voladores, a traditional aerial performance, along the way. Boutiques, malls, and markets abound, and many locals congregate at the Lake Chapala Farmers Market every Wednesday for fresh produce. Known for its mix of locals and expats, the area exhibits an array of dining, including taquerias, tequila bars, pizza shops, French restaurants, and Thai cuisine.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Ajijic
While Ajijic is located at a tropical latitude, its mountain elevation gives it a moderate climate with mild temperatures, making it a comfortable destination year-round. The region is warmest between April and June and the rainy season usually lasts from June to October. Ajijic offers an abundance of fiestas and events annually. Carnaval and the Fiesta de San Sebastian are popular events held in January, both of which include traditional parades. The area’s most popular event by far is the National Chili Cookoff, which usually occurs in late February. The annual hot air balloon festival is another local favorite that takes place in November. Teams of participants sponsored by local businesses prepare paper balloons weeks before the event where they are released amid food and beverage vendors.
Top things to do in Ajijic
Ajijic Farmer’s Market
Ajijic’s weekly farmer’s market, still known by its ancient Nahuatl name, tianguis, is filled with vendors selling fresh produce, fish, groceries, and flowers along with stands of prepared food. Taking place every Wednesday morning, the market also features a mix of craft vendors selling local artwork, curios, and jewelry.
Tepalo Waterfalls Hike
Lace up your hiking boots and hit the trail to see the waterfalls at El Tepalo and encounter Ajijic’s namesake — “the place of water.” Along the way, bask in the stunning views of Ajijic and the spectacular Lake Chapala below. The best time to view the waterfalls is during the rainy season, after a few days of heavy rain, as El Tepalo is dry until the rain makes the water flow.
Boardwalk
All the beauty and vibrancy of Ajijic can be found on a stroll along its seaside boardwalk. Dotted with shops, restaurants, and ice cream vendors along with musicians, exercise equipment, and spots to catch golden sunset views, this charming promenade has it all. Visit at different times of day to catch the changing light on the lake.
