Family Friendly Walled Villa w/ Solar Heated Pool

Unlock the door in the wall and step into flower filled grounds with abundant fruit trees, tropical birds, a solar heated pool, and enough space for a game of croquette or bocce ball. This 4,800 s.f. home is nestled in the foothills of Ajijic with views of Lake Chapala. The 2-story residence is about 3/4 mile from the city center of this tranquil English-speaking town and only 40 minutes from historic Guadalajara.

The villa provides the perfect getaway and is the ideal location for lazy days of sunning, swimming, bird watching, sipping margaritas, or reading. In the evenings you can enjoy superb meals at charming nearby restaurants or create your own meals in the villa's gourmet kitchen and eat on one of the outdoor terraces. The balmy breezes and quiet nights will soothe and revive you; and when you are revived, you can work online or keep in touch with folks back home using our wi-fi and high-speed internet connections.

Problems in Paradise
Beautiful house and grounds. There is no air conditioning, hot tub, or water! Host told the property manager that we were arriving 2 days after our arrival. As a result we had a 1 1/2 hour wait for the key. House was not cleaned from last guests. Then we find out the water is out. After 3 days of Lalo, the best property manager ever, trying to fix it to no avail, we moved out. Do NOT expect any help whatsoever from VRBO. Their customer service is non existent. They have done nothing to help. This is a nice place, just wish they had tye amenities i paid for, and working water.

A great place to get away
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Casa Mimi. It accommodated all our needs, and was close by to lots of amenities. The check in process at the property did not go that smoothly. We now know what to do in the future. Having some instructions available regarding replenishing things like toilet paper and water along with information about garbage days, recycling, etc. would be helpful We enjoyed our stay there, and hope to be doing it again next year

Ajijic Trip November 2022
It’s a testament to the beauty of this city and to Rancho Del Oro that we made two trips here within a 4-month period. It is a true oasis; from the gorgeous gardens and to the relaxing pool and the several terraces to relax upon. The house itself is absolutely stunning. The details like the boveda ceilings and gorgeous brick cupola are spectacular architectural details. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with everything we needed. There’s a cute market within a 5 minute walk we frequented. Overall, an incredibly spacious and relaxing space. A glass of wine in the master jacuzzi at the end of the day is a must 😄 The views from the property of the lake and mountains is absolutely stunning. The staff is very helpful as well! There are several amazing restaurants within walking distance (we were partial to the Blue Rose, Yves’, D’Shanti, and so many more.) The main square of Ajijic and the Malecon along the lake are a short walk or drive as well. I can’t close without mentioning it all exists within one the world’s most perfect climates. Average of mid 70s high, low 60s in the evening. 365 days a year. We’re already planning our next trip and can’t wait to get back!

The Casa was more beautiful than the pictures represented. It was a very relaxing and pleasant stay. The greenery and the birds and the fountain, provided a lush background. I would only ask that there be more lounge chairs available in the pool area. I couldn’t believe how fortunate we were to have found this Villa.

Beautiful House and Town
We loved the house and had a great time there. The house was beautiful and clean, inside and out (just as it looks in the pictures). The pool was big, so my sons really enjoyed swimming there. There were so many delicious restaurants in Ajijic, and everything was within 10 minutes or less (driving).

Beautiful property!
We had planned to arrive at the property at around 4 pm. However, due to complications with the airlines, we had to be rerouted and ended up arriving at Mimi’s place after midnight. We stayed in contact with Lalo throughout this ordeal (WhatsApp) and he was very responsive. Because of the late arrival, Lalo planned/gave us instructions to access the house as soon as we arrived, which was great! On our first morning, we walked through the house and the grounds. I want to say that the house and the grounds are beautiful! We noticed some upkeep needed around the pool area and the terraces, which we discussed with Lalo, and he immediately made arrangements to address the issues. Lalo explained that the upkeep needed was caused by the torrential rain the night before. Lalo stopped by the house to make sure we had everything we needed and to let us know that one of the TVs was damaged by the storm—needless to say, we did not have a need to watch TV during our entire stay. We were at Mimi’s place from Thursday to Thursday, and it was wonderful! Words do not give justice to the views from every angle, the peacefulness, the sounds of the birds in the morning – it was exquisite! The property accommodated our family of seven + an eight-month-old comfortably, and we felt at home! During the day, we walked to Ajijic and to the tianguis (Wednesday) and felt safe. Ajijic is a beautiful and friendly town; we loved it! A few suggestions: 1. Include the instructions in the User guide regarding the shower’s hot water (i.e., let the water run for 5-10 minutes) 2. If guests are arriving in the afternoon (depending on the time of the year/the hottest part of the day), open a few windows to allow the house to air out. 3. Ajijic is about 1.5 hrs drive by car to the center of Guadalajara or Tlaquepaque. 4. The third bedroom has a twin daybed with trundle, which is the equivalent of 2 twin beds. 5. The sofa in the office area is the pull-out full-size bed. This bed could use a new mattress. We used a thick comforter to add more cushion, which helped some. 6. For families traveling with an infant, it may be useful to have a portable crib or playpen to accommodate an infant at night. Overall, the house was amazing, and our family made wonderful memories! Lalo, Monica, and the pool-keeper (we forget his name) were wonderful! Thanks, Mimi, for checking on us via phone. Again, we are grateful to you and Dennis for allowing our family to stay in your beautiful home!

Week of tranquility
The house is very spacious with comfy furniture, lovely patios, and a variety of sitting areas where you can enjoy a book with the beautiful lake Chapala and mountains in the back ground. The kitchen is well designed and fun to prepare food in. The pool and garden areas are super pretty and relaxing! The property manager was attentive, friendly and very helpful. Two suggestions: the larger bedroom downstairs would benefit from curtains for privacy, and the patio furniture by the pool is showing their age. Apart from that everything was super pleasant and we are looking forward to another stay.

Clean and well managed
City lost water for a few days but the property manager was able to get a water truck delivered the next day and 3 days later. Solar water heaters did not work well enough and propane water heater would not stay lit so we did not have hot water for the entire week. Everything else was very nice and the hot water should work most of the year.

Lovely Property
After an exhausting 34 hour travel experience we were really looking forward to checking in to our rental. The communication with the property manager was not the best and we waited on the street for several hours until a neighbor took pity on us and let us in to rest on their couch. We were finally able to contact the manage and were given the code to get in. The housekeeper that came the next day took the time to show us all the workings of the house and answer all our questions. Once inside we were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful garden and lovely patios. The house is expansive and beautifully decorated. The rooms have comfy beds and nice sheets. The bathrooms are large and filled with big fluffy towels. We enjoyed our stay very much but feel as though the property manager could do a better job of maintaining the property. Checking on burned out lightbulbs, the cleanliness of the pool and filling up the drinking water. These are small things that all should have all been done before check-in, especially given the fact that we arrived a day and a half late. There really is no excuse for these things not being done in advance. One more thing potential renters should know about is the deferred maintenance on the roof. It is causing extensive damage to the ceiling in one of the bedrooms and bathroom. It didn't bother me in the slightest but if you are sensitive to mold it is something to be aware of. On the whole this is a very nicely located beautiful hose to stay in and I would definitely rent again.

This property is stunning! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only issue we ran into was check-in. We arrived in town at 4 pm and did not get into the house until after 6 pm. That was a frustrating way to begin the trip, but it was all uphill from there. The house is amazing and clean as a whistle. We could spend all day out on the patio! We will definitely be back.

Instructions need to be updated. Wifi information was not for current modems or current passwords. Our reservation had been mistakenly canceled which we learned day before by contacting the Host. Thus roof repairs were scheduled which was ok but solar hot water heater was disconnected due to roof repair and so relied on hot water tanks and so ran out of hot water quickly.

It's a lovely property that is very well taken care of. I enjoyed walking around the garden and watching the sunrise. Thunderstorms take on a certain importance when in the master suite. I highly recommend it. I felt comfortable from the first day. Everything worked, and the keys and doors were easy to work out. Monica and Eduardo are there for you, and being close to Ajijic is a huge bonus. Huge.

I think this marked our 7 th trip to Mimi’s and I can honestly say that we have never been disappointed with the experience. The only drawback this year was our early departure due to Covid 19.

We had a great time staying here for a week this past November. The place is great. We enjoyed everything from the spacious rooms and plentiful decks to the beautifully landscaped grounds and heated pool. The full sized kitchen was a definite plus as we did end up making several meals and happy hour snacks there. The location was perfect in order to absorb the local culture as well as nearby activities and all of that great food. The temperature was very enjoyable 76-80 all week. I would definitely consider going back. We even made a couple of friends!
