CASA BELUGA, Private home in the HEART of Downtown La Paz

Only 900 meters from the tranquil blue waters of the bay & the bustling Malecón (boardwalk), Casa Beluga is the ideal home base for your adventures in La Paz. Comfortable, secure, & private, Casa Beluga offers two spacious bedrooms, air-conditioning in all rooms, a work station, private outdoor spaces, & a fully equipped kitchen.

As marine biologists who live + work in La Paz, we offer our guests unique opportunities to connect with their natural surroundings and appreciate this special place.

a while. Hanging closet space and plenty of drawers.

>The 2nd bedroom offers a small work station for modern nomads, and for uploading
all those rad photos you'll take.

Should you need anything we are always available by phone/text, WhatsApp messenger, or email. Our contact details will be provided once your reservation is confirmed so feel free to contact us in advance of your trip with any questions or requests and let us know how we can help make your trip even more special.

For those of you looking to make new friends or tap into the marine science scene here, we offer lots of opportunities to explore and see and learn more about our marine wildlife and our beautiful bay and surrounding islands.

We offer optional activities and services to make your trip more enjoyable:
* Marine biologist lead tours and excursions
* Authentic Mexican meals cooked for you in Casa Beluga
* Kayak, paddle board, snorkel gear, and bicycle rentals

Getting Around:
Casa Beluga is in the perfect location for anyone visiting La Paz without a car. You can easily explore the town on foot and local people are friendly and helpful should you need directions or suggestions.

If you have any tours or excursions planned you can walk to all the local marinas and typical pickup points in less than 10 minutes. Though the Malecón is beachfront you won't find local residents swimming here. I guess you could say we are spoiled for choices. It is however, a perfect spot to launch kayaks or paddleboards, or sit under a palapa to soak in the view. Our stunning beaches all require a little drive out of town or a boat ride to the islands. We can help with car service and boat excursions if you want to visit these beaches. Uber and taxis are also readily available in La Paz and you can make arrangements with your driver for a return ride home.

If you do rent a car, Casa Beluga offers safe and secure shaded parking in the carport for up to two vehicles as well as plenty of easy street parking.

The bus station for longer trips (i.e. Los Cabos) is only 900 meters from the house, and the local buses pick up in various locations around town.

No agenda? How awesome is that! Our in-home guest book is full of much more information and our recommendations for what to do, where to eat, what to see if you're looking for suggestions.

Neighborhood Description:
Enjoy daily walks up and down to the bayfront Malecón and visit all the local eateries, bars, galleries, and shops in the neighborhood. Evening strolls are a must to take advantage of the cool breezes that come after sunset and feel the vibrant night culture...and speaking of those sunsets, they are stunning so we highly recommend taking them in with a cold cerveza in hand from a rooftop terraza along the Malecón. La Paz is a progressive town with something for everyone. From established restaurants, bakeries, and retailers, to new cafes, bars, and craft breweries. Many of these establishments cater to people with dietary restrictions and preferences, and there are several small health food markets in the neighborhood too. With unique food offerings, crafts, and arts, our weekly markets pop up in various places downtown. We encourage you to patronize our local businesses and support the talent and creativity found in so many of them.

Great Location
We stayed for three weeks and found Casa Beluga to be very comfortable and a great location. It is only blocks from the main attractions in LaPaz and there are many amenities nearby. We found the neighborhood to be safe and quiet other than the barking dogs which is pretty standard in LaPaz. Our hosts were outstanding, the communication was excellent and they went out of their way to help us get the most out of our stay!

Absolutely lovely stay! The home is super spacious, kitchen was stocked with everything I could need to cook, and beds and pillows were comfy. Victoria and Ricky were wonderful hosts! Incredible responsive to any general questions I had about the home and things to do around La Paz. I felt super safe in the home and neighborhood as a solo traveler and can definitely recommend it to anyone visiting as a central home base! Can’t wait to visit again.
