Appliances and Furniture

New member - First post.

Sorry if this question has already been covered, but I couldn't find it through searching.

We are planning to build a house on Lake Atitlan in a village with no road access. Every item we plan to get to the new house will need to be driven to Panajachel dock, and then ferried by boat to our dock.

Can anyone suggest the cost cost-effective place to buy big ticket items like household furniture and appliances 9dishwasher, washer/dryer, stove, fridge), which will need to be shipped to the house via road and boat. I know that there are some major stores in GC (the names of which I don't know), but I'm wondering if it's just as easy/cheap to buy these things in Antigua? My guess would be GC.
