This serene oceanfront, ground-floor condo is located at the quiet north end of the quaint fishing village of Puerto Morelos, in the Mayan Caribbean. Enter the tropical garden courtyard of your Casita Blanca condo, with its wild orchids, birds of paradise, banana trees, and coconut palms. The buildings and gardens are designed with lots of Mexican flair. Your living room and private patio overlook the sparkling pool and the calm, turquoise ocean just steps away. Walk out the sliders onto the fine white sandy beach that is never hot, and into the warm sea, or head out in a sea-kayak. Lie in your hammock and dream, or sit on the lounge chairs under a palm-frond palapa and watch gentle waves breaking over the renowned Great Barrier Reef, which offers outstanding snorkeling, diving and kite-surfing opportunities. Go fishing or tour the reef in a glass-bottom boat. Take a guided tour of the jungle by ATV, take a zipline from treetop to treetop, and swim in the warm, clear cenotes. Walk along the beach to the local markets and excellent traditional Mexican and international restaurants at the town square. (Ask me for recommendations!) Visit the pier to see the fishing boats and the pelicans soaring in formation and diving into the sea for fish. Take a short drive along the coast to bustling Cancun or Playa Del Carmen, or venture to the magnificent Mayan ruins and many theme and zoological parks in the area.
This bright, breezy unit offers one large bedroom with one queen-size bed with Sealy mattress and box spring, and two twin beds; plus a double futon in the living room for additional guests. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the living/dining room has cable TV, dvd player and library, and WiFi for your convenience. There are ceiling fans and dual zone air-conditioning to keep you cool. The bathroom is decorated with Mexican Talavera tile. The onsite property manager speaks English well and will graciously assist you. Drinking water included and maid service provided twice each week.
Entries to the complex, the unit, and the beach are ramped for wheelchair access; and the unit has a walk-in shower.
Come experience the magic of this friendly fishing village hidden on the Caribbean coast, only 20 minutes from the Cancun airport. I am happy to send you additional photos. Call now for availability and special rates. I accept Paypal.

The Unique Benefits at this Condo
When I stay at my condo, I usually spend most of my time improving it, but I keep hoping there will be time to lie in the hammock on the patio and simply soak up the warm moist sea breeze and watch the pelicans. It's also fun haggling in my very basic Spanish with shopkeepers on the village square (sometimes my lack of language skills results in unplanned humor!), snorkeling at the amazing reef, and taking day trips to nearby ancient ruins. On the village square, I always stop to say hi at Alma Libre, a most helpful bookstore run by Canadians; and at the Artesans' market and the women's jungle market, to buy traditional Mayan crafts from the artists who make them. A short drive or bus ride south takes me to a Mexican (Talavera) tile warehouse, where they are skilled at packing delicate hand-painted ceramics in underseat-sized boxes; and to the elegant seaside pedestrian mall in Playa del Carmen. Host/managers Roberto and Selena can tell you the best way to get around.
Owner's Map of Puerto Morelos
I live in upstate New York, in a Victorian house I saved from the wrecking ball, but haven't yet restored to its original glory, it's a work in progress, and some part of it always seems to be a work site. I rented this condo during a personal vacation 3 years ago, and my partner and I fell in love with it; she bought it and I've now bought it from her. This is my first real estate venture outside the U.S.

A fabuous seaside condo

Often the description and pictures of a vacation rental lead to expectations that are not quite matched by the reality when seen. In this instance, however, the actual and extraordinary experience of Lauren's codominium at La Casita Blanca in this old fishing village of Puerto Morales in the Yuctan greatly exceeds expectations. You walk right out of this excellent condo to a gorgeous garden, a modest pool within steps, and a fabulous beach only seconds away. Swimming in the sea (La Mar) every day is exhilirating, walking to the Plaza fun, and the nearby restuarants excellent and inexpensive. We've gone snorkeling at the coral reef, traveled to nearby Mayan ruins and the nearby best beach of all. It's fun too to see the reef and fish in a glass-bottomed boat. The warmth of the physical setting is matched by the warmth and welcoming spirit of the people of Puerto Morales. Don't miss these restaurants: T@co.com, La Palmeras (both off the Plaza), and El Cruzita (on Ninos Heroes Street), all within walking distance from the condo. In a word, it's all just terrific, one of the best vacations we've ever had. You will not be disappointed.

Couldnt have been a better place to stay for our holiday. The condo was perfect, very clean, tidy and just like the images on this site. The owner was very prompt in replying to emails. Roberto and Selene (managers on site) were really friendly and so helpful. We would definately go back. Puerto Morelos is perfect - away from the hustle & bustle, cute village with enough little shops/restaurants, and a convenient location for local excursions and day trips (there is plenty to do).
