Established Vacation Rental Business with Five Homes For Sale, Panajachel Lake Atitlán

An established vacation rental business on Lake Atitlán

Casatitlán is an established hospitality business, offered for sale together with its five rental homes. Four of the homes share a private walled estate in central Panajachel, a short walk from the main dock. The fifth, Casa Lavanda, sits on the hillside road to Santa Catarina Palopó with views of the lake and its volcanoes.

The business needs only one manager, who does not have to be in Guatemala, so a new owner takes over a working operation rather than building one.

The business

• The Casatitlán brand, with its own direct booking website alongside the major platforms
• 79% occupancy in 2025, with 92% projected for 2026 (owner figures)
• More than 1,000 Airbnb guest reviews, currently averaging 4.93 out of 5
• Airbnb, VRBO and direct bookings run through a single channel manager
• Reservations, payments, invoicing and guest messages handled online, so the manager does not need to be in Guatemala
• Four full-time local staff with established routines for every stay, backed by trusted local tradespeople and service providers
• A local accountant on contract, with booking and expense records kept for tax reporting
• Forward bookings continue through the transition, and the current operator helps the new owner settle in

Room to grow

With the systems and team already in place, a new owner can also manage vacation rentals for other owners, adding income without buying more property.

The homes

• Casa Lavanda: a contemporary hillside villa with lake and volcano views from almost every room, covered terraces on each level, a stone soaking tub and a hot tub
• Casa Tropical: a bright three-bedroom home in mature tropical gardens, with a corner kiva fireplace, green marble kitchen, covered upstairs terrace and private lawn
• David's Den: a three-bedroom brick and timber home among the treetops, with a round brick tower, a spiral staircase, wood-burning fireplaces in the bedrooms and a covered veranda
• Casa Histórica: the original home on the estate, with colonial character, beamed ceilings, a stone fireplace and an arched portico opening onto the gardens
• Love Nest: a one-bedroom garden cottage with a hanging fireplace and a loft bedroom under a vaulted wood ceiling

Together the five homes sleep up to 22 guests.

The location
