From Keys to Oranges…
Keys
It is wise to take your keys with you whenever you leave the property. While the street gate is most often open during the day, it is sometimes locked if we are away from the property. Please remember to return your keys to reception when you check out.
Kites
Feel like flying a kite? We might have one or two around. Ask at reception.

Laundry
There are two laundry facilities within easy walking distance of the Casita. Laundry is priced by weight so it is less expensive if towels, for instance, are dry. If you take your laundry in before 10:00am, you should be able to pick it up the same day, generally after 4:00pm. Laundry is washed, dried, folded neatly and wrapped in plastic. Dry cleaning is not available in La Peita or Rincon de Guayabitos.
Library
Our Put & Take library is located on the lower patio at the base of the stairway. Please feel free to borrow a book, and leave any books you feel other guests might enjoy.
Linen
Linen changes are available twice per week at reception. Simply bring your sheets, pillowcases, towels and face cloths to the desk for exchange. We prefer to make linen exchanges between 9:00am and 12:00pm if convenient for you. Many thanks.
Liquors
We carry a supply of rum, beer and red & white wine in reception for your convenience. In addition, most grocery stores along the Avenida also carry a good supply. Don Pedros, a small grocery store down the left side of the Avenida normally discounts for our guests. Just tell them you are staying at Casita de La Peita. Supermercado Lorenas also has a good supply of liquors. A good local rum is Antillano, which is available in white, amber and sometimes dark. Some local wines are Padre Kino and Domecq.. Concha Y Toro Chilean wines are also readily available.

Music
You will find the music of Mexico everywhere. Mexicans love their music and generally like it loud, whether it is Salsa, Ranchera, Mariachi, or Latino. CDs and tapes with Mexican music can be found in abundance at the Tianguis Market on Thursdays, and at a few street stands in La Peita. Beware though, a high percentage of these CDs are copies, and wont always work in all machines. Make sure you try yours soon after purchase in case it doesnt play!!
Oranges and Orange Juice
Oranges and their juice are plentiful in La Peita. You will find street vendors in the residential streets and on the Avenida selling fresh squeezed juice (usually in plastic bags with a straw) in the mornings. Or you can buy fresh oranges and use the available juicers we have in reception to make your own!! A 50 pound bag of oranges is about $5.00 dollars.
