About this property

Private Colonial Boutique House with a Cool Pool in the Heart of Downtown Cancun

Casa Los Angeles is a private colonial boutique house and it was named this because in each room you will find angel faces within the cement wall. Just one of many elegant touches you'll find throughout the home. The historic 2 bedroom newly renovated family home is an ideal home for privacy, relaxation and comfort.
Great location! In the heart of the historic center of Cancun just a block and a half away from the ADO Bus Terminal (to all tourist attractions) and half a block from Parque de las Palapas. Across the street is the very popular La Habichuela restaurant (downtown) and in a few minutes walk you are at the restaurants and bars of the Yaxchilan Avenue.
Bus service to all public beaches of the Hotel Zone is a block away or a 10-minute cab ride awaits you outside the front door.
Historic Colonial 2 bedroom house fully restored and furnished beautifully with two recreation areas, the back private garden has a beautiful covered patio with antique French tiles and furnished with outdoor furniture, the private refreshing pool is 19.7ft (6M) long and 5ft (1.5M) deep with a lounge area and teak sunbathing chairs. The front terrace has a coal BBQ grill a table and chairs perfect for your cookouts with friends or for a nice family dinner.
There are two private bedrooms (The Sun and The Moon room). Both bedrooms are equipped with quiet inverter A/C units and ceiling fans, large closets, luxury pillows, high-quality sheets and beautiful queen size bedding. The Sun-room is the master with walk-out sliding doors to the covered garden patio and has its own private bathroom with large shower and high ceilings. The Sun-room also has HD TVs perfect to watch movies in bed. The Moon room has spectacular views of the pool and access to the nicely decorated second bathroom with a bathtub large enough for two people and designed to look and feel like a small pool.
The comfortably furnished living room and the master bedroom have beautiful restored antique Mosaic Pasta Tile floors ubiquitous to historic colonial homes in The Yucatan Peninsula (Google everything playadelcarmen/pasta-tiles/). Traditional baked clay floors are in the dining room, kitchen and foyer.
The kitchen is furnished with a nice high-top wood table and beautiful colonial windows with views to the front patio, It features a marble countertop, stainless-steel appliances, a gas stove, electric and microwave oven, toaster, coffee maker, cookware, wine/drinking glassware and table linen. The utility room is furnished with washer/dryer.

We have two ring security cámaras on the roof, one facing to the front and one facing to the back.
This cámaras are another layer of security for our guests, they are pointed to the outer perimeters of the house and are only monitored at nights, mostly when the house is vacant.
The back cámara can’t see the pool area giving our guests full privacy.

My bi-lingual (English and Spanish) property manager Lety, is a native of Yucatan and part of our family. She is on call 24-hours a day. She will make sure you have everything you need for your perfect vacation and Manuel, the gardener, daily takes care of the grounds and the pool.
Casa Los Angeles features secure, gated parking with room for two small cars.
100mbpsWi-Fi internet is available throughout the home inside and out.
We also have a Bose Bluetooth speaker for your music enjoyment.

Amazing!
We absolutely loved the property! Location was great for walking around and exploring. Many people would stop by and comment on how beautiful the yard was and take pictures of the bird wall. The house has a very calm, tranquil feel about it so it is a great place to relax and live a very simple, uncomplicated life. Lety, the property manager, is amazing. Whatever you need, she will help you with. Manuel, the groundskeeper, is also amazing. He does a great job looking after and maintaining the yard and pool. The fresh “cocos” were a very nice treat that we absolutely loved. This is a wonderful property and we are very much looking forward to our next stay!

We cannot speak highly enough of this location!!
The home was super clean and Lety was wonderful, especially helping us the the water situation 😄 and with airport transportation! It is surrounded by local restaurants, shopping and entertainment and everyone was just so kind and friendly. It was a great cultural experience. I find it very disappointing to hear anyone write that they felt unsafe in any aspect of the home or area, that is just not the case! We used another person's recommendation of using Senor Cruz for a tour to Playa Del Carmen and Tulum and he was absolutely wonderful!! Please consider him if you are looking to do any tours and pricing is reasonable for everything he provides (he loves to take photos, which we loved 😁). On a side note, we went during Covid and I give the whole area a 5+ star rating! From sanitizer, temp checks, and mask wearing, they did a great job on following protocol on making you feel safe! Thanks again for opening up your home and providing exceptional hospitality, we look forward to a return trip and will refer all of our family and friends!!

Rude and aggressive property manager
I stayed here for a month and a half during coronavirus lock down. I was constantly harrassed via whats app about my whereabouts, the owner was paranoid and spying on us via the cameras around the house and gardener. Their conduct was completely inappropriate to a level of harrassment. When I left the house I was treated very rudelt by the property manager, who insisted there were 3 beach towels and not 2, then proceeded to send me angry and aggressive videos about using pantry items such as sugar and coffee filters that she had told us we could use and other guests had left behind. I was there for a month and half and I sent money voluntarily above and beyond the initial arrangement to offset additional electricity costs for being home all day during lockdown. The property manager is incredibly rude and inappropriate and had absolutely no reason to be so aggressive and harrass me with her rudeness. Beware. Also, neighborhood is sketchy and I did not feel comfortable alone in the house at night.

8/10 Good

First Trip to Cancun
The house and grounds are great. Lety, the property manager, showed us the neighborhood, where to shop, etc. She's terrific. We're not beach people so we wanted to stay in town. Downtown Cancun, while lively, is a little beat up and not that interesting to visit. We took taxis the first several days and they are readily available. We later rented car which gave us more mobility. (The property has a great place to park a car.)(My wife had recently broken her leg.) Loved everything about the place except the location...though there is a wonderful restaurant right across the street.

About me

Love the city of Chicago life but not the cold weather, Cancun is my second home and very proud of the renovation I did to my dad's former home, an ocean lover and a secret beach bum want a be.

Why they chose this property

Newly renovated private family home from the 70's, one of the earliest and historic homes of Cancun. I love the Yucatan Peninsula, the culture and natural beauty it has to offer all within a mile from the home
Tropical landscaped grounds with a private garden, completely private refreshing swimming pool (no neighbor can look into it) 1.5m 5Ft dept and two furnished outdoor areas which include a covered patio with antique French tile, poolside lounge area, and a front terrace ideal for outdoor dining and grilling.

What makes this property unique

The house is so well located you can live here without a car, but renting one is very convenient especially if you are planning to explore all the beautiful sites and beaches the Yucatan peninsula has to offer.
Enjoy the perfect mix of colonial design and architecture with modern furnishings and amenities. This lovely home offers a serene tropical setting perfect for a relaxing couples’ get-away or family fun.
