Location: Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Yucatan, Mayan Riviera, Mexico (20km south of Cancun Airport, 20km north of Playa del Carmen)
Accommodations: Condo, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-5)
Casbah del Mar is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, luxury condo located directly on the ocean in beautiful Puerto Morelos, Mexico. Designed for indulgent relaxation and getting away, a stay at the Moroccan-inspired Casbah del Mar is best served chilled.
Not your typical condo, this rental comes with a very large furnished terrace that overlooks the azure ocean. The terrace contains comfortable seating for six and a separate seating area for conversation and entertaining. This fully-equipped unit contains a master suite and a guest bedroom, for a total of four adult guests.
All beds come with top-quality linens and down pillows for your sleeping comfort. Each bed has been fitted with very comfortable memory-foam pads for a restful sleep after a hard day of sunshine, the ocean breezes, and exciting exploration.
The well-kept grounds contain a swimming pool with beach access. Having just six units in the building allows for intimacy and privacy.
Only a short twenty-minute walk to town along the beach, Casbah Del Mar sits in a quiet little section of beach homes secluded from traffic and noise. We have discovered that this little area of the Yucatan has managed to keep its charm and character, and we want to share our little secret with you.
"How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then to rest afterward." ~Spanish Proverb

John, I wanted to thank you so much for allowing us to use your condo in Puerto Morelos. We had such a great time as the weather was perfect and the location was fantastic. We fell in love with that sleepy little town, enjoying the culture, shopping and especially all of the restaurants. Dan and Sandra were easy to work with and always available if we needed them. Being right on the beach was awesome. We enjoyed long walks up and down the beach as well as the great snorkeling out at the reef. The condo itself was clean and comfortable but by far the best part is that great terrace. When we weren’t on the beach, we spent our time out there. All of the outdoor furniture was great and the kids especially loved the hammocks. We didn’t want to leave and had one of our most memorable vacations yet! Thanks again, Brice McPherson

Hi John, My husband and I stayed at your condo last year the last week of Feb. I don't know if I ever thanked you. Your place is very wonderful! It was all of the little things that made all the difference. The comfy couches (inside and out!). The nice linens, the well-appointed kitchen (especially the juicer that we put to good use) and best of all- all of the great outdoor seating. We are hoping to come back again this year. I hope you and your family are doing well. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us! Sincerely, Joan Tognacci

John, Our trip was AMAZING in every way, and the perfect getaway. Honestly, my students are going to be so thankful for the two weeks I spent in the Mayan Riviera between semesters. I’m not typically a sunrise person (musician, go figure), but I woke up every day without fail to go sit out on that beautiful terrace and greet the new day. From there, our time was filled with yoga, swimming, adventuring, eating, drinking, and much joyful play. You and Elaine have really created a special place, and we are so grateful that you have chosen to share it with others. If there is anything I can do to promote your little slice of paradise, please don’t hesitate to ask. I truly hope to return some day, and I can’t thank you enough for a wonderful, amazing trip that may have very well thrust me into some really healthy and exciting new life choices! Namaste, Rob
