About this property

Incredible Views with Peace and Tranquility – Easy access to Mahahual & Xcalak

Casa de Coco is a well-maintained Beach Front House, located 15 KM south of Mahahual down the beach road but 1 km off a paved road. The house offers peace and quiet with the convenience of Mahahual in 15 to 20 minutes by paved roads. We are also less than 30 minutes to Xcalak. The location is the main reason that we purchased this house. We used to rent a house in El Placer and it took us more than 30 minutes to get to Mahahual.
The house now has brand new double-pane tinted sliding windows both upstairs and down. These were added at the end of 11/18. These windows add additional security throughout. The whole outside of the house was also painted in April of 2019.
The house offers Kayaking, Snorkeling and swimming on one of the most beautiful sandy bottom beaches in Mahahual (We might be a little Biased). There is no turtle grass. Our beach is very private since there is not another house on either side of us. You can walk on the beach for miles.
The beach is located across the beach road which is steps from the house and is part of our property. You sleep to the sounds of the ocean and will wake up to views of the beautiful beach. We are one of the last houses on the road so there are only about 5 or 6 cars that pass by each day. The location of the house offers great protection from the storms.
The main living area of the house is located on the second floor which provides wonderful breezes throughout the whole house year around. This is extremely important since the house is an eco-friendly, self-sustained house. The electricity is provided by a solar system with a backup generator and the water is collected in a very large cistern. There is a water heater that provides hot water throughout the house. However, there is no air-conditioning and no hairdryers. The use of Hair Dryers will damage our electrical system, so they are strictly prohibited.
The house sits on a 20 by 50-meter lot which backups to the jungle. The closest house is about a ½ km to the north. There are no large houses to the south which offers complete privacy. However, we do have on-site caretakers who offer security 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The caretaker’s casita is attached to the side of the house.
The house offers a master bedroom with a king-sized bed and an En-Suite master bath. The second bedroom is very large with 2 twin beds which can be combined into a king bed. The second bathroom is located next to the second bedroom. Both bathrooms have beautiful tile with glass blocked showers and Mexican ceramic sinks.
The living room is open to the dining area which has a passthrough bar to the kitchen. The fully equipped kitchen has an oven and new refrigerator, as well as a large sink with Mexican tiled counters and backsplash. There are ceiling fans throughout the house, as well as new curtains on all windows. The house is full of dark wood cabinets and closets.
There is a staircase that leads to the roof which offers incredible views of the beach and jungle in all directions. It is private enough for (nude) sunbathing during the day. The roof offers beautiful views of the stars at night.
There is also a wonderful, large covered balcony that runs across the whole front of the house. The balcony can be accessed from the master bedroom, living room and dining area. A table and chairs are provided on the balcony for enjoying your meals alfresco as well as lounge chairs. The balcony is great for reading or just watching the ocean. It offers delightful views of the sunrise over the ocean every morning.
The private beach has several large coconut palms which offer plenty of shade. There is a landscaped area for your beach chairs. As mentioned previously, the beach offers a very sandy bottom with a gradual drop and is excellent for swimming. Further out, there is the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef which provides great snorkeling. We offer lounge chairs for the beach as well as kayaks, snorkel gear and life vests.
We provide free bottled water for drinking, cooking and brushing your teeth. We also provide fresh bed linens, bath and beach towels weekly. The house is equipped with toilet paper, paper towels, dish and hand soap as well as cleaning supplies. We also provide free wireless internet and an internet TV. With the internet TV you can sign in with your own Netflix or Amazon account.
Even with our remote location there is a great restaurant/bar located north of the house, on the beach less than a ½ Kilometer away, which serves lunch and dinner. There is also a wonderful hotel restaurant which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner within 2 Kilometers north. Of course, you can purchase all your food and supplies on the way in Tulum or Chetumal and prepare your own meals at the house. There are also several small stores in town where you can purchase enough food and alcohol to survive your stay. A rental car is a must.
Please understand that our house is not for everyone. The house is in the jungle and with the jungle comes bugs and jungle animals. Not everyone can live without air-conditioning and hair dryers. There has also been an issue with Sargassum seaweed in the area. This issue has stretched the shoreline from Florida to South America. Some areas are worse then others. At certain times of the year there is none and other times the sea is full of it. It can be gone one day, back the next and vice versa. No one can predict how the Sargassum will be during your vacation. We are not in a cove, so we have less issues than other areas in Mahahual. Even when it is bad on our beach, there is generally very little in our water. The beaches are cleaned in downtown Mahahual daily. Our caretaker will do his best to try to keep the beach as clean as possible. However, there are times when the Sargassum is overwhelming. On days that our beach is bad, we spend more time at the beaches downtown or sightseeing.
Lastly our caretaker is always available to help you with any issues you may have. We can arrange a great tour guide that can take you anywhere you want to go. Our house offers the ability for your vacation to be as active or as restful as you want. We want to ensure that you have a wonderful and memorable vacation at Casa de Coco. We want you to fall in love with our house and Mahahual just like we did.

Relaxing and Remote Getaway
Beautiful house with a private beach, the perfect place to relax and unwind. House was outfitted with everything we needed, and the housekeeper Daribel checked in on us every day and had some of the cutest pets. Kathleen was incredibly helpful and responsive and made sure we had more than enough information about the house and the surrounding area. Overall an awesome experience!

Great location
We could tell that this place had been rented numerous times before we arrived just by the first viewing of the premise.. As we settled in we realized we didn't have hot water for the first week , toilet was broke, shower head was broke, no seasonings for cooking, the French press bottom was cracked, there's no broom for cleaning the floor of the sand.. Numerous odds and ends (nothing too serious) that should be readily available for tenants, shouldn't need to ask.. We overlooked most of it and made it all work, if you are not real picky.. This is a great location! Great beach front!

Beautiful home away from it all!
Booking and communication we're easy and straightforward - Kathleen was a prompt, friendly and helpful host. The property itself is out of a dream! Right on the beach, with incredible views and peace and tranquility. A few people walked by every so often, but unless we went somewhere, we didn't see anyone! The onsite caretaker, Daribel, is polite, helpful and friendly. The apartment is well equipped, we had one issue which was dealt with quickly, and the information given beforehand put us at ease. Kathleen made a recommendation for Mahahual Ecotours, owned by Victor Rosales - we spent the day with him, and if you can, do it!! He was amazing! From the property, we spent the day at Bacalar Lagoon, Mahahual town, and Hayhu beach club - all brilliant days with lots of incredible experiences. We didn't get the best weather at the start of our 6night stay, so unfortunately couldn't get out to snorkel or use the additional equipment on offer, but if you had calmer days, it would be awesome! We were really happy with our stay - a dreamy location for a very reasonable price 👍

Beautiful stay in a tranquil place and incredible hosts!
We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Coco. The location is stunning - it is so secluded, other than a few houses down the road it was just surrounded by jungle for miles and a beautiful, essentially private beach. We barely saw anyone else throughout our stay. It’s the perfect place if you are looking to escape the the tourist trail and find some real tranquility. It’s easily accessible by car also as the roads are of surprisingly good quality. The property itself was very cute and super clean - it suited our needs perfectly and you can’t argue with being right on the beach! The sound of the waves , the sunrise over the sea and the stars at night were simply magical! We noticed other reviews had mentioned the problem of seaweed / debris in the area but we didn’t find this to be an issue and the caretaker made sure to clean the beach for us each day which we were very grateful for. Kathleen was also an amazing host - she really went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and was super helpful with quick communication. She gave a lot of useful advice about the area and getting around and really helped us out with a couple of issues relating to our trip. We are very thankful and we really couldn’t have asked for more / our only wish is we could have stayed longer!

Great Place to Stay!
The house was just as advertised. Communication with the owner before and during our stay was excellent and very prompt. The beach and ocean in front of the house are beautiful, we were able to swim to the reef and snorkel from the beach. Stargazing from the rooftop deck was AMAZING! The house and property were peaceful, private and very relaxing. The caretaker, Daribel and his wife, Flor were helpful and kept everything cleaned up and nice. Flor even cooked us a meal one evening that was delicious! They were accessible when needed, but otherwise respected our privacy. We highly recommend this property for a relaxing beach get away.

Beautiful beach view, totally isolated!
We had a great time in Mahahual in Casa de Cocos. We were looking for isolation due to the pandemic... and got It here! Kitchen was well appointed, but grill wasn’t working. There was a lovely beach in front of the house and use of kayaks. The only issue we had was the amount of garbage on the beach itself... not the fault of the house owner of course, just a bit of a surprise. (we took walks for miles but there was quite a bit of plastic / sargasso on the vast expanse of the beach ...) PS: the on-site house manager Daribel is super helpful and nice to get kayaks and beach chairs out — and his wife can make you the best shrimp ceviche!!

Great Potential
As much as we wanted to love this place there were just too many problems to ignore. Several plumbing issues, kitchen poorly stocked for cooking, and unsightly garbage on the beach immediately adjacent to the property boundaries. Beach road traffic can get busy at times but you only notice it when you are in the house… can’t hear it from the beach. The house, balcony and beach have comfortable furniture. The floor plan of the house is laid out well with a full balcony providing views of the beach. Nice location between Xcalak and Mahahual. No noisy neighbors. Kind caretakers who cooked us a delicious chicken mole meal… some of the best mole I have ever had. The house is well kept for the most part but some issues and basic maintenance needs, brought to the attention of the owners, need to be addressed to provide a comfortable and fully functional rental.

A+++++
This was our first experience using VRBO, or any other site like it. We were thrilled by how it all went! The communication with the property owners was top notch, and we left the states feeling secure from that communication! The property was super clean, and as described! In fact, we can't think of anything to complain about... Which is rare because we're spoiled Americans. :) This place was a gem. Next time, we will stay here the whole time, instead of breaking up our trip visiting different places. Thanks for making our "firstime" so easy. Craig & Tia

Very nice and comfortable house with a large balcony and steps to the rooftop to watch the sunset. It's very private and has great breezes . You will definitely need a car as it is fairly remote. The house was stocked with plenty of linens, beach towels, etc. It's located on a beautiful sandy-bottom beach. There's a convenient beach club down the road with good food and atmosphere.

Paradise found!
Wonderful fully equipt home with a patient caretaker! My children wanted 2 coconuts a day! Absolutely stunning location with a fabulous beach club within walking distance. Mahahual is about a 20 minute drive with lots of wildlife to see along the way if you keep your eyes peeled! Kathleen was very easy to deal with and everything was as she said it would be. Highly recommend for families, my children loved it as did my husband and I. The stars over the ocean were quite literally dazzling, I would not have changed a single thing

Why they chose this property

We chose our property because of it's location. We love downtown Mahahual, as well as Xcalak. We very rarely eat at the house so we like to go to restaurants for every meal. We are 15 Kilometers south of Mahahual on the beach road. The beach road can be very rough so most of the time we take the paved roads. Our house is less than a kilometer off the first cut through between the paved road and the beach road heading south to Xcalak. Taking the paved road we can be in town between 15 and 20 minutes. In addition, since we are south of town we can take the paved road and be in Xcalak in less than 30 minutes. There are very few house directly off the first turnoff.

What makes this property unique

What is so unique about our house is the beach. The first time we were in Mahahual, we drove up and down the beach road trying to find the location of our dream beach house. As soon as we saw Puerto Angel beach, my husband and I looked at each other and said this is the most beautiful beach we have ever seen!
