Family-friendly vacation rentals in Santa Catarina Palopó

We had a fantastic stay at the property . The scenery and setting of this property is just serene . We were a group of 10 with adults and kids . The kids loved the place so much that they refused to even leave the property . Had a very restful 3 days of Christmas . We stayed over the Christmas break and walked to a nearby local church for the midnight service . Don Miguel ,,George and Theresa ( the helpers on the property ) were always available and very helpful . I wanted to leave a word of appreciation for Sylvia . She is super helpful and very responsive . Was always available to answer questions and provide a lot of helpful recommendations . By far the best Airbnb host that I have interacted with . Overall a wonderful experience

We stayed for 10 days and had a wonderfully relaxing time. Initially, we thought the description meant we could see the lake from where we stayed but it is really visible from the garden with a beautiful place to sit. The house is very comfortable and plenty of hot water etc. It felt very homelike, not a typical airbnb and we were very very happy there. Leisa even let us use her big kitchen oven to bake a cake and roast veggies although the one with the Casita was perfectly adequate for most things. Jaibalito is quiet, no doubt about it but there’s an easy hike to Santa Cruz if you want more excitement! Indigo bistro in front of the house is a great place to eat also.

Nuestra experiencia en casa de Nathalia fue sencillamente increíble. Estar en la casa nos permitió conectar con la energía del lugar y disfrutar de unas vistas, amaneceres y atardeceres que pagaron toda nuestra estadía. La atención de Nathalia fue clave para poder vivir una experiencia inolvidable y el apoyo de su equipo, quienes son lugareños de Jaibalito, nos hicieron la estancia aún mejor. Siempre recordaremos a Nicko, Venturo, Marina, Zulema y a cada uno de los pobladores que nos hicieron sentir como en casa.

Todo súper bien! La casa es cómoda y espaciosa tiene todo lo que se necesita para pasar un par de días descansando! El sauna y el jacuzzi en la tarde es la manera perfecta de terminar el día. El paddleboard es alegrísimo, las camas cómodas y una televisión grande y un sofá cómodo perfecto para descansar. Tiburcio y Marina también súper amables y dispuestos a ayudar!

The place was very nice, everything clean well put together, the kitchen came with alot of household items, coffee, cooking oil, plates , everything you would need.The view of the lake was beautiful, the outside little patio was a nice hangout spot for a coffee and to relax. Diego was very friendly, helpful and understanding. Responded quickly and had answers right away, provided us with transportation from the dock to the house and as our own little private tour guide around the lake. Very satisfied with the stay, do recommend to book with Diego and Oasis, definitely would come stay again! Thanks again Diego and Oasis for everything. Ask for Chema if your looking for some quick transportation around the area, very friendly, knows his way around.

Nice place, good, clean and safety. Kind full every time and help us in everything was we need. We hope find pool for the next time >.<

Beautiful home to be in touch with nature. Beautiful scenic views of the mountains. Location is private in a quiet town, with not much things to do, perfect for those who want quietness. Take note that theres a large amount of rocky steps before entering the home, however staff and helpers are available to help with luggage. Since the home is in the middle of nature, there are many bugs, but are harmless. Would recommend to shop for food before entering town, or communicate with the staff to set up cooking services a few days before. Host and staff were extremely helpful with accommodating us and connecting us to a personal boat driver, where we were able to visit the other towns. Instructions were clear and communication was great! Overall enjoyed my peaceful stay at the Seed.

The views here are INSANE. I would’ve stayed at the Airbnb the entire time if I could. Markus was also very friendly and accommodating. I mistakenly took the keys by accident and he was very understanding and we came up with a plan to get them back to him. Highly recommend!!! The stairs are KILLER but soooo worth it once you get to the top. We called one of the recommended tuc tuc drivers, Lucas, to bring us there and he helped carry our luggage all the way to the top. He was great!

El lugar es precioso, vale totalmente la pena. Muy seguro y tranquilo. La cocina está muy bien equipada, tiene de todo. Y la playa privada del condominio fue para mi lo mejor del airbnb. Muy recomendado!

We had the best stay at Rafael’s place. The location is unreal - directly on the lake with the most gorgeous views of the two volcanos! It’s a 15 min walk into the main Santa Cruz town along the water’s edge. We were able to wave down lanchas (the public ferries) to come straight to the port out the front of the house, which was convenient. The house itself felt very homey, exactly what we needed for our group of 6 friends. We did a big shop in panajachel and cooked big feasts every night in the kitchen, which was well equipped. Would highly recommend this stay for anyone looking to relax and soak up those insane lake views!

It is a beautiful place with good views and access to the lake. The house has a longer checkout time so in the morning we went to San Juan village and we are not that in rush to checkout. By the lake the volcano views is gorgeous, even sitting at the patio outisde the kitchen you can see the volcano and a lots of stars in the night. However, better to use a 4x4 car to arrive. And there is a 5 minutes staircases walking down to arrive the house. The house is quite warm, not as chill as in the outside. The house is equipped well. A good choice for a group of people accomodation.

Beautiful house right on the lake, bedrooms were very comfortable. I liked having the kitchen and lounge open air as that’s where I want to be when at the lake. We enjoyed the dogs, the friendly old cat and all the birds. Tons of flowers. Elaine was very helpful with trail info and a boat contact. We didn’t end up kayaking this time but you’re perfectly situated to do so.

Staying at Michelle’s place was great. Located perfectly between San Marcos and tzununa allowed for access to the towns while also a quiet and retreat, and space to get work done. If you have a chance head to tzununa on mondays to take a farm tour of Atitlan Organics and other permaculture projects. The cats were wonderful especially Oscar!

Casita pitaya es un lugar muy bonito, ubicado a unos cuantos pasos de la playa del lago, (llegar es fácil solo pongan IMAP en el mapa) la casa está justo a la par, hay una tienda de conveniencia cerca de la casa los señores que venden justo enfrente de la casa son de las personas más radiantes y amables que e conocido, al igual El buen Hernán, el caserío pachitulul es un lugar mágico como sus cercanías cerro de oro (dónde está la 🚪 ixbalam) lugar que inspiro al autor del libro el principito, la anfitriona IxChel, fue extremadamente atenta, la propiedad tiene múltiples árboles frutales (asta me permitieron tomar unos cuantos 🍋 hice una deliciosa limonada wow) pararse en la puerta de la cocina y contemplar la vista, vale toda la pena !!! baño, toalla, camas, todo impecable y limpio, ES IMPORTANTE ENTENDER QUE LA CASITA PITAYA es un lugar para alejarse de la civilización, no es un lugar como San Pedro, San Juan, San Marcos, es un lugar de paz dónde se puede tener conexión.

One of our favourite ever stays with AirBnB after many years. Amazing value & lovely apartment with incredible views. So easy to get to and from San Pedro centre with Tuk Tuk 10Q per persona. Host could not be more helpful. Isabelle Bistro good restaurant close.

El lugar es un lugar privado accesible mayormente por el lago (vía lancha) aunque se puede caminar muy a gusto por un sendero a la orilla del lago, un lugar hermoso con una excelente vista, a tener en cuenta es el horario de las lanchas, ya que regularmente después de las 6 se tiene que contratar una lancha privada, sin duda regresaríamos pues el lugar es excelente

Un Lugar súper agradable, con facilidad para llegar y para moverse desde ahí, el lugar ofrece buena opción de comida y una vista increíble hacia el Lago.

The place is beautiful and the host was great. We will back.

excelente lugar para salir de la rutina, tranquilidad, paz, un paisaje hermoso y cabaña presiosa tal como la de las fotos... Carolina excelente anfitriona y don Manuel un super señor... esperamos regresar pronto.

Excelente lugar, increíbles vistas al lago perfecto para fotografías, fue una estadía bastante reconfortante, recomendado para una próxima visita al lago

This place is really lovely. close to dining options, incredible view and landscaping. we loved the outdoor fireplace too! David and Daniel were on the spot with recommendations, travel arrangements etc. can't recommend more highly!

We loved our stay at Casa Bonita, the Airbnb is lovely, spacious, and well equipped, with comfortable beds and nice living area and kitchen. The outdoor terrace/pool area is beautiful and a lovely spot to relax in front of the view. Location is perfect - just outside of San Pedro so it’s nice and peaceful, but also close enough to walk or grab a Tuk Tuk into town. Finally a massive thank you to Marcos who was always super helpful and very responsive whenever we had questions. Would recommend to others in an instant. Gracias!

Came with a group of 5 Freinds … the grounds are beautiful and well kept. Bbq area, pool, hammocks, very serene and the pier is close by … there are lots of stairs so be aware with luggage and walking. We had Claudia and her mother cook two nights for us and the food was amazing… I would have a list of items you will require so they get them for you since there isn’t a store nearby. You are definitely pretty remote. Boat is the easiest way to get around. I’d come back again and explore the other villages/towns nearby. San Juan was fun with lots of shops and coffee and chocolate factories
