Self check-in

Check yourself in with the lockbox.
Casa Stella invites you to kick back and experience life in our easygoing, remote surf town. Just a 5 min walk to the volcanic black sand beach and best waves in Guatemala, this modern & stylish guesthouse was thoughtfully designed by the homeowner, who is a well-known local chef. With a chilled & relaxing atmosphere you can escape the midday heat in the sparkling pool, work in peace and quiet with fast Wifi and AC, and prepare meals with local produce in the kitchenette. Welcome home.

The space
Casa Stella is located on a residential property, just steps from the mangroves and 300m to the beach. You will enjoy a queen bed with comfy linens, AC, pool, fast WiFi, hot water shower, bath & pool towels, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, a well-appointed kitchenette (stocked with coffee, tea, extra virgin olive oil, and filtered water), private terrace and a private entry. There is plenty of lush, tropical outdoor space for lounging with a book, listening to the birds or sipping a fresh coconut from the garden.

The entire property is shared only with the homeowner, who lives in the main house adjacent to the pool. Her two beloved cats, George and Larry, can often be found napping in the garden or lounging poolside.

Guest access
Guests have access to the following shared areas:

~ Swimming pool
~ Pool bathroom & outdoor shower
~ Pool patio
- Tropical garden
~ Surfboard rack

Other things to note
A key feature of this stay is that the homeowner lives on site and Paredón is her year round home. This is a real neighborhood in a tight-knit community, so respect for the area and in regards to noise is very important. For personal safety reasons, Casa Stella only accepts guests with verified profiles and reviews on the platform.

Where I went to school: University of Colorado at Boulder
My work: Owner-Chef El Deli
Hola! My name is Tarra and I’m a professional chef, living full-time on the enchanting Pacific coast of Guatemala. Formerly a ski bum and food truck owner in the mountains of Colorado, I traded my snowboard for a surfboard and warmer adventures in 2018. After a yearlong backpacking trip through Latin America, I found myself with a new life and reenergized purpose here in Guate. I hope my story inspires others to travel and think outside the box.
