Casa Linda
About the Home
Richly decorated with saturated colors and hand-painted tiles traditional to Mexican design, Casa Linda is as welcoming and comfortable as being in your own beloved home. Nor will you be short on privacy, since the first bedroom is downstairs, next to the pool and the second bedroom is upstairs in a darling “granny flat” unit. We also love that it is just steps away from our famous malecón beachside promenade, as well as a few blocks from our most beloved local restaurants. Casa Linda is not an impersonal “house” but rather a true home, full of warmth and character. It’s so cute my daughter-in-law wants to steal it!!! Traditional ceramic floors and intricate murals cover the well-lit, rustic rooms, all of them vibrant with the colors and textures of Mexico. The kitchen, dining room, and living room together create one large common space. It opens up into the backyard terrace and pool area, which can be independently accessed through the master bedroom. The backyard “granny flat,” which sports its own kitchen, affords the possibility of housing an additional party—friends, children, or the in-laws—providing the privacy of their own environment, while keeping the proximity one gets by sharing a house. Casa Linda has a very spacious garage with an electric door, easily capable of fitting two SUVs. A two-minute walk away is the seaside promenade. When you’re not in the mood to stroll or splash in the warm waters, you can explore the many restaurants and bars that overlook the Sea of Cortez. Just around the corner from the house is a small restaurant, La Casa de La Abuelita, with regional snacks and hors d’oeuvres. Only a block away is our favorite breakfast place, María California. Within the same radius are two great restaurants: La Casita, an excellent place with tasty salads and entrees and a nice patio bar, and Dulce Romero, a hip, organic sandwich shop and bakery. There is also a great butcher shop nearby where you can buy excellent meats in case you want to have a cookout. Casa Linda is the perfect place to explore Baja California Sur’s only true Mexican city, set like a pearl in the crown of the Bay of La Paz. Your days can be spent wandering the shops and markets, strolling the Malecón or heading to the islands for scuba diving, snorkeling, or playing with the sea lion cubs. Casa Linda is an excellent place for housing two parties, due to the separate granny flat that has its own lounge and kitchen. The granny flat is on the second floor, and is accessible via stairs in the backyard.
