Casa Kootenay Waterfront Bnb

Casa Kootenay was a great place for me and my family. We enjoyed every little bit of it and Leanne and the rest of the stuff were very friendly and helpful. We absolutely loved it

Friendly staff, nice pool, good ac, spacious and clean.

Checkout was early and nothing was open after checkout. We could use the pool and store luggage but no bathroom to use

Gorgeous views

The breakfast was amazing. It was wonderful having kayaks, SUP Boards, and snorkel gear to use. The pool was lovely too.

Everything!

La comida de la Sra. Alma una maravilla, delicioso todo lo que nos preparaba

Todo me encantó

The location, the Mexican look of the place and the wonderful host, chef and staff

There is nothing to dislike about this property, it is so perfect

Leeanne was very supportive of my unusual circumstances! <3

Perfect location to just chill and enjoy the ambience and location and facilities. Leeann is a very friendly and engaging host. She has a genuine attitude for caring for her guests and we always feel welcomed in a personal way. I like how easy it is to use the outdoor kitchen to prepare our evening meals and just hang out on the patio or the upstairs deck. We have had wonderful breakfasts with the other guests and Leeann has provided us with lots of great places to visit.

nothing. That's why we have returned to stay several times

Beautiful beachfront location. Friendly owner/host. Very nice to be able to borrow bikes and kayaks at no cost. Also, the breakfasts were excellent. Nice to chat with other guests at the breakfast table. We also enjoyed quiet afternoons by the pool.

It was a little far from downtown for walking, although we did walk a few times, it takes about 45 mins.

Es tranquilo

El lugar muy bonito,y la habitación también ,el personal excelente

No me puedo quejar

Peaceful waterfront location, great amenities

One of the best places I have ever stayed at - and i normally dont write reviews but casa kootenay was worth it

Lilli führt das kleine BnB unkompliziert und fast familiär. Jeden Tag gab es ein anderes Frühstück zu den Fruchtsäften, Joghurt und Müsli, die man selber zusammenstellen konnte. Das Pool war sauber und erfrischend und die Dachterrasse, von der man Vögel und sogar Delfine beobachten konnte, war genial. Danke an Lilli, auch für die Fahrt frühmorgens zum Airport.🤗

Wenn man nicht Luxus möchte, gibt es in diesem BnB nichts zu beanstanden.

Enjoyed the room, breakfast and being right on the water. We loved watching the sunset from the rooftop balcony.

La disponibilité de l hôte, la flexibilité pour le petit déjeuner et l arrivée tôt. Leeane avait tjrs une attention particulière pour notre fille de 5 ans. Sans aucun doute nous reviendrons. La maison est sublime et la terrasse très agréable :)

The pool and the rooftop terrace

Wonderful staff and hostess. Laid back in the water

Beautiful property, close to UNESCO World Heritage site Balandra beach; close to many different types of excursions and activities, such as swimming with whalesharks - an absolutely amazing experience! - swimming with sea lions, hiking, etc. Breakfast was beyond expectations! In our ten days of staying there, we had a different 4-course breakfast EVERY DAY! The host was very welcoming, friendly, helpful, and responsive to requests, and introducing us to a wide range of excursions, activities, places to eat etc. As a native speaker of English, LeeAnn was very easy to communicate with. The rest of the staff was very accommodating and very pleasant.

It would have been better to have a table and chairs in the room (Purcell), rather than an additional - and unused - twin size bed, and maybe a king size bed, rather than a queen.

Perfect place to relax , close to great restaurants ( walkable) we particularly like the excellent roof terrace with views of the water for early morning coffee and evening drinks.

Vue fabuleuse du roof top et l'hôtesse est adorable. Très bon petit déjeuner mais pas de choix possible, c'est un menu.

Chambre sombre en rez-de-chaussée

So many details to ensure our comfort and convenience! Really appreciated the kayaks/ boards/ bikes to use ( and kitchen, tho we did not use it this time except for ice- so thoughtful she even had blue ice packs for coolers!). The rooftop terrace was lovely. Room was spacious and great bed. Nice to have an easily refillable pitcher for water, with dispenser right outside our room. There was a bit of a view of the water from the room, tho people should know they are back behind a bit, not directly on the beach. As others have mentioned, beach is a little rocky/ muddy at low tide, but still walkable.

The Malecon/ downtown is a little further than I thought. 2.6 k , host told us. There is a bike path but it is on a somewhat busy road. It’s in a residential area without stores, restaurants super close. Of course, that dos make it quieter, which is nice.

The owner was very welcoming and helpful. The cooked breakfasts were very good. The place was nicer than I expected.

The location was farther from the Malecon and town than I anticipated. Had to use a taxi to get there. The pool was too cold to enjoy.

Beautiful property. Roof lounge area is amazing. Food was spectacular

Nothing

Es war ein sehr persönliches B&B, wo wir uns direkt zu Hause gefühlt haben. Hervorzuheben sind: Die persönliche und herzliche Aufnahme von Leeanne in ihrem Haus und ihre Hilfsbereitschaft, die tolle und ruhige Lage direkt am Strand, das tolle frisch zubereitete Frühstück, die Dachterrasse, der erfrischende Pool….. Es hat einfach alles gepasst!

Alles war Ok.

Wonderful Breakfast, right on the water.

Helpful staff for recommendations & responsive to requests, beds were comfy, and breakfast was delicious! Very relaxing stay and look fwd to returning :) Appreciated the onsite amenities and ability to borrow equipment for beach outings! Only surprise was would have been nice to know ahead of booking of the 2 guard dogs that roam on-site.

Very calm and relaxing. Close to malecon.

High comfort, high quality. The breakfast changes everyday and it's cook on the day. The bed is very comfortable. All details are taken care off. This in an excellent place to enjoy your holidays. It's a cosy feeling with very high standards. We had a fantastic holiday and Casa Kootenay help a lot in that!

It was unclear by talking with the locals if it's ok to swim in the beach close by. It's quite a closed bay, plenty of boats and surrounded with buildings, so we stay on the safe side and we didn't swim there. But we loved how you can sit in the back terrace of the house and enjoy your morning coffee while enjoying the view and the passersby.

Quiet area in the outskirts there is 5 bedrooms in the property. Nice simple

Beautiful property. Loved the property , was directly on the water. The sunsets on the top patio were very relaxing. The breakfast was great and overall hospitality was top notch. First time staying at a bed and breakfast. My husband and I had an enjoyable stay. Highly recommend to stay here.

Very friendly, good breakfast, relaxing environment.

The breakfast was delicious and the front beach was a plus!

The room was perfect. The host was amazing and very helpful. The breakfast is a must so amazing. Definitely will stay here again in the future.

Leanne is simply amazing. Great suggestions. And extremely helpful. I hope to see her again.

This is a wonderful place to stay with comfortable rooms, so so many places to relax in and out of the sun. A lovely pool, great breakfasts, quick access to central La Paz and walks on the beach. Leeanne and her staff have thought of everything! Go stay!

Loved La Paz in generation. Casa was very helpful and accommodating.

nothing.

Leanne was an amazing host easy to talk to. Property and rooms were extremely clean easy. access to beach. Great parking breakfast was amazing Great views of Bay.

What a delightful spot! Leanne obviously takes pride in providing a warm, welcoming stay. Our room was comfy and clean with a roomy bath and shower. The breakfast area is such a sweet spot with glorious views of the bay, and Alma cooks up delicious breakfasts. Even more impressive is Leanne’s knowledge of the area. With her help and free bikes & kayaks, we had the perfect vacay!

We had an incredible stay here. Leanne was welcoming and warm, with a wealth of local information. The breakfast was delicious—such a treat to have fresh fruits and yogurt in addition to warm savory dishes each day. We enjoyed the paddle boards and bikes that Leanne has for guests. And the rooftop deck made for amazing views of the sunset! Highly recommend.

This is a little gem of a place to stay - away from town in a residential area on the beach. There’s only four rooms so if you’re up for a quiet relaxing stay, this is the place to be. Leanne, who owns the property has thought of everything for a perfect stay. You’ll have access to beach towels, snorkeling gear, kayaks and a whole bunch more stuff for a perfect day on the beach or on the water. A lovely breakfast is included - I was on early tours for half my stay so couldn’t always breakfast - so instead I was provided with some fruit and packed breakfast to take with me. The view from the terrace is stunning - I spent a lot of time taking photos of a palm tree close to the property and the light effects that the setting sun had on it. The room (there are 4 individually named rooms - I was in the ‘Columbia’ room) is spacious and comfortable with good climate control and an excellent shower. While you’re at breakfast your room is cleaned ready for another day. The TV is packed with ‘extras’ such as Netflix. The only VERY slight downside to the hotel is the distance from the centre of town. There are a couple of local restaurants and corner shops close to the hotel but the centre of La Paz is a good 45 minutes walk away. However, it is a lovely walk to and from town - the whole town is very safe so you’ll have no worry about walking safely at any time of day. Additionally, you can use one of the bikes from the hotel or take a quick taxi. I would highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Kootenay. Leeanne was an awesome host, and we enjoyed our mornings together with the other guests over breakfast, and had a fun bonfire on the beach.

We loved our stay! We borrowed bicycles and rode around the malecon! Leeanne was wonderful. The food was great! We felt like family! Such a wonderful piece of heaven! Can't say enough good things about this gem! We'll come back!

Casa Kootenay is a beautiful little B&B that has everything you need. The rooms were great & the shared garden/roof top lounge areas are wonderful-amazing sunsets overlooking the beach & water. Leeanne was a wonderful host & pointed me in the right direction for fun places to check out in La Paz. She invited me to join a local cooking class that was so fun-great way to end my vacation! I didn't have a car, which would have been helpful, but she's only a 10 minute Uber ride ($5) to the center of town. I had fun chatting & getting to know everyone at breakfast & the food was amazing.

Wonderful, knowledgeable hostess. Excellent breakfast.

We loved our stay. The property is beautiful. The room was very nice and a very comfortable bed. The guests were friendly. Breakfast was fantastic. And the beach fire was special. Thank you!

Casa Kootenay was a resort-like experience. The rooms are clean, beds extremely comfortable, shared spaces luxurious, provided breakfast delicious. Parking was easy, bikes/kayaks all provided as well as a run-down of local points & contacts of interest. The vibe is on-point across the board- this is perhaps my favorite vacation b&b/hotel experience, ever. I'd highly recommend Casa Kootenay and hope to return again!

We booked this property because of its amenities and we used them all: paddle boarding to the mangroves from the property, kayaked with the dolphins in front of the property, biked to the downtown and beyond on the wonderful bike path, used cooler and umbrella and beach chairs to drive to Balandra beach. The property is super clean! The staff is very friendly! The room is comfortable and nice hot shower. Great shared rooftop space to watch sunsets or watch for dolphins. The bonus was the delicious breakfasts shared with other guests. The host, Leanne, would join us for fun conversations. We stayed for 6 nights and Leanne and her dogs became a welcomed family for the week. We highly recommend this lil gem in La Paz!

What a beautiful place. Even better than the photos. The weather wasn't the best, but we were able to ride the bikes supplied along the malacon, which starts nearly in front of the bnb. The area by the swimming pool is protected so we were able to enjoy the sun while being out of the wind. We loved that kayaks and paddle boards are also supplied, and the next time we go we hope to make use of them. Note that the bnb is on an estuary, but ocean beaches are a short drive. Thank you to Leeanne for making us vegan breakfasts and giving lots of tips for what to see in the area. We loved this beautiful oasis.

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Kootenay. Leeanne is an excellent host and had good recommendations for wonderful tacos. Breakfast was excellent - fresh fruit and juices every day along with yogurt/granola then a hot dish.

Leanne is amazing and the property was great for a relaxing vacation and breakfast any day we wanted it. Always good company and food as well as views and things to do on the water. We loved our stay and would definitely stay again!

The access on the beach

Nothing

What a great choice for anyone wanting a place with warm hospitality, lovely character and great vibes. So much more personal and authentic as well. Leanne was a big help, too. It's a winner!

The property is beautiful. Located waterfront less than a mile from the Malecón. The room was clean and well appointed. The rooftop patio overlooks the bay and whas comfortable furniture, including a day bed which I took advantage of by taking an afternoon siesta. The common breakfast area was also quite lovely. We also took advantage of the bicycles which are available free of charge for guests. The breakfasts were delicious, and and included a variety of beverages including a selection of fruit juices and horchata. My wife received special breakfast which were tailored to her unique dietary needs (celiac). Nubia runs the only gluten free bakery in the state (Manu), and delivered her breakfast daily. They were outstanding! I highly recommend it. I have included a photo with her contact information below. Hit her up!

We would have enjoyed the small swimming pool if it was heated.

What a wonderful place to stay and fully deserving of its great reputation. The owner, Leeanne is charming and knowledgeable with a keen eye for detail. For example: a guest was checking in with celiac disease. Leeanne's kitchen is cross-contaminated, and so she arranged for breakfasts that had been cooked in a gluten-free kitchen to be brought in for that guest. Alma, the cook, provides wonderful hot Mexican breakfasts. The beds are very comfortable and there are big jugs of bottled water distributed around the property. We parked on-street with no problems. Leeanne has quite a bit of equipment available to borrow and we used her bikes a few times. Not performance bikes, but they get the job done. The roof patio is glorious and a wonderful place to hang out. While it's a bit of a walk to get to the Malecon (yay bikes!), the beach in front is very walkable, and there is kind of a mangrove park an easy walk away. This is in a residential neighborhood- quiet and safe. Staying with Leeanne, you see the La Paz she loves- with the wonderful people, the terrific food and the incredible bucket list of outdoor adventures available. Stay here. You won't regret it.

Breakfast was homemade every morning and very good. The view from the breakfast table was incredible! Great spot for bird watching and walking on the beach every morning. Great little bay for kayaking.

Location. Excellent breakfast prepared fresh daily.

Nothing. Excellent!

Beautiful, clean place, friendly, helpful staff that accommodated my GF vegan diet, comfortable bed, and a great shower! The traditional adobe architecture, ocean front dining room and decor are lovely. There is a rooftop patio with a gorgeous view of the ocean and comfortable seating. Our bedroom and bathroom were large and comfortable. There was a fridge in our room. We also appreciated the use of a shared outdoor kitchen and the ground floor. The host was super helpful in providing us with connections in the community. She pointed us towards a place where we could go dancing, and a place where we could rent a car and get a driver. These definitely improved our visit experience! Our host had snorkel gear that we could use, along with there being bicycles and paddle boards available for free use.

It's further from the downtown waterfront walkway/ tourist area than I thought. There was often a strong sewer smell in our room/bathroom at night. The pool is advertised as being heated, but it wasn't; it was VERY cold, which was disappointing given some of the cooler, windy days we had. And the beachwater in front of the B&B is a bit dubious as far a cleanliness for swimming, with a warning about stepping on sea urchins and very sharp shells. And just a note, in case this is of concern to you, the host has 2 dogs that look like pit bulls (not positive that they are) that wander the property freely when the host is home.

Loved our stay at this beachfront BnB! We stayed as a couple for 3 nights during a 2 week road trip. Extremely comfortable beds, amazing breakfast and accompaniments (so many sauces, tea, cereals to choose from) and so many spaces to hang out. The beach day offerings and bikes were amazing as well, we didn’t use everything but had we stayed longer surely would have!

Casa Kootenay in La Paz is a gem! Our host, Leanne, was incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming, making our stay truly special. The breakfast was excellent, featuring delicious options that fueled our adventures. The beds were comfortable, ensuring restful nights. We loved the beautiful rooftop with stunning views and easy beach access. The availability of kayaks and bikes for free use added to the experience, allowing us to explore the area effortlessly. Highly recommend this place!

There was literally nothing left to wish for—a perfect getaway!

Casa Kootenay is a beautiful property located right on the sandy beach of El Conchalito. It’s a beautiful property that includes the use of their on-premise bicycles, kayaks, paddle boards as well as other activities. The best part of this facility is the staff. Leanne and her team were gracious hosts throughout the entire stay. They were very accommodating to dietary and travel needs and provided a wealth of information regarding local tours as well as various activity and dining options. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to an opportunity to stay here again.

We had an amazing time at Casa Kootenay. It was beautiful and relaxing, and the neighbourhood felt safe and quiet. There are just a couple of rooms so it felt intimate but still social—ideal! We had access to everything we needed, including bikes which we used to bike into/out of town in about 15 minutes. Leanne was a fantastic host and it was great waking up to breakfast every morning. Also, baby tortoises! We hope to make it back one day.

This is a wonderful B&B LeeAnne is wonderful. If you want to relax this is the place. The veranda is wonderful, if your lucky you might see dolphins swimming in the bay. You can walk to 2 wonderful restaurant's La Posada and La Mariva. The large grocery store is within walking distance. Overall try it, you won’t be disappointed.

Everything about the property was wonderful…..super clean…:: had everything you needed and more great host !!!!! Definitely would come back and highly recommend it !!!!

Property manager was awesome, very knowledgeable about the area and very helpful. Rooms were clean and breakfast was very tasty. Would stay there again.

Beautiful location; amazing ambience and decor; fabulous breakfast; the most gracious and helpful host.

It was exceptional - no suggestions for improvement.

This accommodation goes above and beyond expectations! It offers comforts of home with all of the details necessary for travel guests. Enjoy the varied warm breakfasts, the oceanfront, the tranquility and the convenient location.

Breakfast was great and the setting was wonderful!

Leann is a hidden gem

What a gem! This property is jaw dropping gorgeous from the beautifully appointed house and guest rooms to the million dollar views. It completely exceeded our expectations & is easily worth double what we paid. Delicious breakfasts where we met interesting friendly people, borrowed the kayaks & paddleboard & swam & paddled in the bay right in front of the house. We had vacationed in La Paz before & loved it, but stayed in hotels where we didn't get the relaxing stay we were looking for. This B & B was perfect & we'll return with our adult kids or friends next time.

Breakfast was delicious and plentiful with a lot of variety and options. Location is beautiful and safe for walking or riding bikes. Leeanne the host, is lovely and personable along with her very well mannered pups. She helped me to get settled, listended to my plans and helped to make suggestions - and even invited me join in with her and friends during Carnival.

Everything was perfect!

It was a chill relaxing oasis. Leanne makes everything about your stay special. Beautiful casa, amazing breakfasts, all amenities. It was perfect

What an amazing 15**** STAR retreat, My husband and I were very impressed with the large room, authentic decor, super comfortable beds, mini fridge, beach towels, house coats, books, games, paddle boards, kayaks....I could go on and on... Oh Yes, AND ALL on the BEACH.. Very clean bathroom, bedroom.and entire Casa. The dinning area is where the best breakfasts are cooked by the host/owner. Every single thing was "on point". The Decor in the dinning area is Magnificent. There is an abundance of interesting items that will keep your jaw dropped in amazement.The vibe is so tranquile. Surround that with the most helpful lovely owner and assistant. We were so happy and grateful.. i can't wait to return.

- really nice and spacious room - super comfortable bed - very friendly hostess and homemade breakfast every day - nice rooftop terrace with amazing beach views

- it’s located a bit outside of the city (30 min walk), but there are bikes for free use which make getting around without a car easier (7 min ride to the city)

This place is so great: beds are so comfortable, the terrace and breakfast room overlooking the beach are so relaxing, but the best part is the owner who is just so thoughtful and caring all the while never intrusive. We loved it so much here!

The only thing we regret is not spending our mornings sitting on the hammock overlooking the sea. This spot of the house is only accessible if the owner is present or during breakfast/morning times as it closes off when she is away and is a real treat!

Leeann is the best host, and Casa Kootenay is the BEST place we've stayed in Mexico! We stayed here for Christmas Eve night and had the most relaxing time. From Leeann's welcome upon arrival, to the thoughtfulness of the decor, to an insanely comfy bed, to a delicious homemade breakfast in the morning (we had the yummiest banana pancakes and eggs), it's quickly clear how much love Leeann puts into the property. She is also the sweetest person to chat with, and her pups are adorable. This is an absolute gem of a place - one that relaxes you as soon as you step in. The views from the rooftop are not to miss. Do yourself a favor and book!

That we had to leave!

Great location and beautiful views. Leanne is a wonderful host.

Nothing

Can’t say enough wonderful things about Casa Kootenay. Beautiful place, right on the beach. Very quiet. Terrific location, easy access to the bike path to the malecón. Lovely rooms and amenities.

Leeanne was very accomodating during my stay. She takes great pains to connect with all guests, makes suggestions as to where to eat or explore. What most impressed me was that she has thought about the little things a guest might need and provides them. IE a touch lamp with 5 pulg-in's for electronics, bathrobes, little fridge pre filled with chilled water, small safe....all those things you never knew you needed. Additionally, her home is tastefully and beautifully decorated with items from her own travels. Subtle touches that make the place feel like home.

The property was absolutely beautiful and the host thought of every single detail! Our breakfast was so good and we had a full spread! The views were incredible and the room was extremely comfortable.

Came back from a 4 day yacht trip to a lovely Casa that felt so nice and peaceful. Just loved it! Rooms are big and feels so relaxed. Jumped into the cold pool everyday after a long hot day.

Easy to get to the Malecon. Free bikes! Leeanne was an amazing hostess!

Water could have been warmer in the shower but not a big deal.

Beach front property with incredible views from the main common area & on the upper terrace. The host was very friendly and accommodating in various ways. Very generous portions for the breakfast. You won’t go hungry in the morning and should hold you well into lunch time.

Nothing.

The house is big and beautiful, also has a nice view. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the also have amenities such as water all the time, coffe or tea. Breakfast included is delicious. Leeane is such an incredible host who gives you all the facilities for your stay.

LeeAnnn was a fantastic host. You can walk on the beach, have a nice view on the veranda or just relax in the swimming pool. The room was clean and had all that is needed. Including homely breakfast just makes you feel comfortable. Theres is absolutely no noise which i really appreciated.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Kootenay, it is a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Lili and her staff have been very kind and helpful throughout. Every day we enjoyed the delicious breakfast, the pool, beautiful and clean rooms and as a highlight the rooftop overlooking the bay. We rented SUPs and kayaks, paddled to the mangroves and saw dolphins. Couldn’t have wished for more.

Everything was super nice

I liked everything

Casa Kootenay is a wonderful spot to relax, discover La Paz and the area and enjoy life! Lili has a special gift to make you feel at home, you'll wake up to homebaked cookies every day and a delicias breakfast, get free bikes, kayaks and a lot more than you would have ever thought of to discover the beautiful bay and feel welcome all along. The house is beautiful, a stunning terrace with a view above the bay, nice little pool for a dir and a lot of common spaces to share. The rooms are cozy and comfy (highly recommend the upstairs rooms), there is a lot of extras like nice shampo etc, free drinking water and coffee as much as you want at anytime, and a lot of little things that you are really super welcome in this house. We had a great time and will be back!
