About this property

Enchanting Beach Front Villa - Sleeps 4

If you are looking for a private, relaxing vacation getaway, Xcalak is the place for you. Located on Costa Maya's southern most tip, Xcalak is in the last undeveloped area of the Yucatan Coast. Whether you are interested in World Class Diving on the nearby Chinchorro Banks, bonefishing on the Chetumal Bay flats , great snorkeling right in front of our beach or just enjoying the varied wildlife, the area is a nature lovers delight. Located on the Mexican Caribbean 7.8 kilometers north of Xcalak, the house's upper unit has a fully equipped kitchen, a Queen bedroom with a King bed (which can be separate in 2 single beds), a beautifully tiled bath and living room. The dining room (seats 6) has a thatched roof which opens on to a beautiful terrace. A large master bedroom with it’s own personal bathroom and patio has been added to the apartment. It features a king bed which can become 2 separate single beds and a single futon. Facing the sea, one accesses the beach patio by a slider. You can also enter the room via a spacious breezeway with queen bed.

The house's environment: Besides being a beachfront property, behind the house's garden, there is a lake (laguna) which is great for kayaking and fishing. Theses 'lagunas' are home to many different species both aquatic (bonefish, baby tarpon, ...) and land (birds, small crocodiles, ...). The Xcalak area is know for its flyfishing and generally for fishing. It is also a superb area for diving with its great barrier reef and with 'Banco Chinchorro', an atoll 2 1/2 hours away by boat. The island of San Pedro, Belize is only a 1 1/2 hour boat ride away and makes an interesting day trip as does Mahahual , a town 60 km north of Xcalak. Finally the Mayan ruins of Chaccoben are only 2 hours away.

Further information: The house is located in a marine park. Upon arrival, please stop at
at the Park Office to purchase your entry bracelet. It is located on Xcalak's southern beach.

A fabulous trip!
the house and grounds are immaculate. It is the best kept beach in the area! My favorite spot was sitting in the lounge chairs on the large balcony outside our bedroom overlooking the beach and the ocean.The amenities are great. The advance info was very helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with our gracious hosts. They included us in their local community activities & dinners! I am sorry I had to leave before I could go snorkeling with my host.

Des vacances de rêve ....
Un site au bout du monde magnifique, une maison superbe et des hôtes charmants et très attentionnés ….. des vacances comme on en rêvait. Imaginez une plage de sable fin qui vous amène dans un lagon ou là vous découvrez dans votre masque de plongée un monde merveilleux de coraux vivants et colorés, de poissons très variés, de raies léopard qui dansent devant vous, juste pour vous, de barracudas qui vous accompagnent dans votre randonnée palmée… Philippe, notre hôte, nous fait découvrir des sites dont un où il réveille un requin dormeur pour que nous puissions le voir évoluer doucement dans l’eau, un autre où il charme avec des sardines une énorme murène verte qui sort presque entièrement de son trou pour un spectacle tout en poésie ….. Et au retour d’une de ces promenades, Gisèle, notre hôtesse, nous fait goûter un guacamole fait maison autour d’un verre …….. Merci beaucoup à tous les deux de partager ce lieu magique empreint de sérénité, de poésie où sur le toit de la maison nous pouvions admirer le matin le soleil levant sur la mer et le soir le soleil couchant sur la mangrove.

Absolutely wonderful location and hosts!
First of all, the house is spectacular. You're steps away from a pristine beach and ocean life. We were stunned when arrived and were shown the premises. The accommodations are amazing. The upper level of the residence is divided between two units with one unit containing the kitchen. Both units have balconies that overlook the beach and ocean, with one being under an enclosed palapa. You also get access to a rooftop the provides amazing views of the ocean and lagoon. There is an original unit with a bedroom and the addition with the second master. The original doesn't quite have the luxuries of the addition, but we had no complaints about either. The master and bath located in the addition has shower that overlooks the ocean and beach, and we found it a treat to use daily. In the addition bedroom, you literally open your eyes every morning to palm trees and a spectacular ocean view. Initial communication from Gisele and Phillipe was great. They provided very detailed travel information and recommendations along the way. They also provided information on Xcalak before our stay, so we knew what to expect as far as restaurants and amenities go. The stay was fantastic. Gisele and Phillipe are amazing hosts. They stay in the lower level of the residence, and are some of the most friendly and amazing people we have had the chance to meet. They make your entire stay comfortable, whether that means taking you on snorkel tours or waking up in the middle of the night to make sure your vehicle and belongings are safe (which was above and beyond anything would we expect). While you are sharing the premises with them, they make it clear that it's your house and beach for your stay. They interact with you as much or as little as you want. They also went out of there way to help us accommodate our dining wishes. Daily housekeeping visits ensure your quarters are always neat and tidy, and it seemed that Phillipe was up as the sun was coming up every morning to make sure that the beach was immaculate. Kayaks and snorkel gear were provided. All in all, I can't recommend this enough. This isn't a place for folks who like nightlife and populous locations; however, if you're looking for comfortable accommodations off the beaten path then look no further. We will vividly remember this trip for a long time, and hopefully we get a chance to visit Gisele and Phillipe again!

About the host

Hosted by Gisele Muller

Host profile image
Philippe is French and Gisele is Canadian. They work in France in the entertainment business doing cultural shows.

Why they chose this property

We chose to buy in Xcalak and more particularly Casa Caracola because the snorkelling is fantastic right off the beach in front of the house. There are many coral heads there and the reef is not for off.

What makes this property unique

Philippe loves the sea and they both spend much of their time doing water activities such as snorkelling and free diving.
The other positive point is that the area is very peaceful and relaxing. It is truly a unique and authentic spot.
