 Title/Quick Description

 Specific information about property

In addition to the main casita, a second 20’ x 20’ open-air palapa located next to the sea wall offers a dining area and simple outdoor kitchen with sink and gas grill. Attached to this outdoor palapa is a bathroom with shower. The simple but clean casita has 2 bedrooms, a dining/kitchenette area, and a small living room area. Authentic “rustico” furniture and Mexican dishes, glassware, and decorations add to your experience. Appliance and cookware are all newly purchased. AC, high speed internet connection, and an extra inflatable queen size air mattress are provided as well.

Situated on a gently sloping sandy beach, children and adults will enjoy safe swimming, body boarding, stunning sunsets, and few foreign tourists. The 3 mile long beach is also perfect for walks, playing in the surf, or watching fishermen in pangas lay their nets. At times dolphins and whales are visible. The Mexican community of Santiago is two blocks away. Here you can explore a traditional market with fresh produce and seafood; you can also board inexpensive taxis or buses to various sites including two large nearby “American style” grocery stores.

Our friendly English-speaking caretakers, Armando and Lupita, will greet you upon your arrival at our Casita de la Playa or at the airport. Armando is then available to provide a 3-4hr. city tour and Lupita (or a friend) is available to prepare a traditional Mexican breakfast and lunch if you wish. All services beyond greeting at the Casita are available for a minimal charge.

Purified drinking water, bath towels, and all bed linens are provided. Please bring your own beach towel. The casita is cleaned every week but more frequent cleanings are available on request. Smoking is not permitted inside the casita and no pets are allowed.
