Excellent Vibes for Solo Women Travelers

As a woman, solo travelling is exciting but it also requires some additional safety measures no matter where you roam. After a long pause on travel in general, I was eager to jump on a plane and explore on my own again. Roxane's casita was the perfect place to rest my head near Melaque. Her gated property is well loved and well maintained, with excellent vibes if you're looking for a solo-lead wellness retreat, complete with roof top yoga & lush gardens. Compared to most rental places, the double bed is plush, cozy and has the appropriate number of pillows (7). The kitchen is also well-equipped with proper knives and at least three different options to make coffee, depending on your preference (French press, drip, AND a Bialetti!). Roxane was an excellent host and excelled in finding the perfect balance between allowing me my privacy and providing helpful suggestions. Don't let the shared space deter you from booking. I found it difficult to leave the property, it was so lovely!

Great little Casita and gardens!

My wife and I stayed here for one month and really enjoyed the Casita. Great location in a quiet area. Casita has everything you need and has a real Mexican flair. Roxane is a great host, accommodating and kind. Perfect for a couple! We will be back! Tom & Carmen

Loved our one month stay at Roxanne's casita. The casita was equipped with everything you could need. Bed was super comfortable. Lots of good dining and groceries close by. Nice little table on the patio to enjoy our coffee and cribbage in the nice green courtyard space with the flowers and hummingbirds. Then there was the relaxing sitting area up on the rooftop palapa for enjoying the mild evening airs. It is only a short block to the beach for watching spectacular sunsets. Also it was great to have the use of Roxanne's bicycles to ride into Melaque centro for calmer swimming beaches and many beach restaurants. Walking down the beach to either Barra de or Melaque centro was always enjoyable and probably took less than 20 minutes each way. Taxi back from Barra was an inexpensive option in the evening. Roxanne is super friendly and helpful, Quickly addressed any minor issues we had. All in all a great holiday and wonderful place to stay. Thanks Roxanne!

Retirement

We were thinking we wanted to explore Mexico and this was perfect. The casita is small but it was perfect we were looking for simple and we found it. The garden Roxane has created is to die for….. the fountain oh my it is so relaxing. This is a wonderful retreat from the world. Brenda & Jim

WONDERFUL STAY AT ROXANNES CASITA!

We loved pretty much everything about our stay at Roxannes. The place was very artsy, well kept and well equipped with so many appliances etc and she even brought us a blender and let us use her beach chairs & umbrella as well as her 2 Bicycles. Lovely interaction and overall we would stay again. my Only issue was the amount of dust on the street in the town which was sometimes hard on my allergies. One other thing was she went out of her way to give us restaurant and entertainment suggestions and we really appreciated that. Also the gorgeoud view from the rooftop deck and so many beautiful flowers and plants in the gardens. Minor complaint is I would suggest that maybe a small bistro table outside to eat on as otherwise we ate at bar stools and patio furniture might need some updating as the vinyl was old and worn and a bit dirty but again such a minor issue. It was also super quiet at night and we loved walking through the various parts of two and the beach was two blocks from us and lovely.

Beautiful, close to the ocean, amazing host.

My husband, 11 month old and I spent a week at Roxane's casita. It was so fantastic. Only a couple blocks from the ocean and a nice walk into town. I loved doing yoga on the roof under the palapa and walking the beach in the morning before it got too hot. Roxane was a super host. Giving advice, so kind, helping with the language barrier. The Casita itself was beautiful, peaceful and comfortable. If we come back to Melaque/San Patricio we will definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!!

Viva La Mexico

I stayed for 3 weeks at Roxane's beautiful little house in back. I really enjoyed the yard being a lover of plants myself. The roof top was my late night cooling off & watching the sunset just a short walk to beach. Roxane is a great lady, very helpful to offer rides, rainjacket or a bike to ride. Just loved her husbands art on the walls, she offered to show me more but regreat the time went fast. If you are looking for a quite, comfortable place to stay, enjoying and showing respect for the culture you came to visit. Thank you Roxane! Mucho Love, Debbie from Santa Cruz, California

Why they chose this property

Before my husband Edward Gilliam (renowned painter) passed away, he kept his paintings in an extra bedroom we had on,the property, I decided to add to that bedroom and create la Casita del Artista in his honor, which is now a complete apartment for your enjoyment.

What makes this property unique

Large lovely Garden, full of tropical plants, many sitting area throughout. A blooming cactus roof to relax, yoga or work if needed. The beach à block away. Two bicycles to get around town quickly. Beautiful paintings from my husband throughout the property. I think you will enjoy staying at Casita del Artista.. See you soon
