About this property

Villa Alebrije, pool, AC near lagoon

Summary:

Villa Alebrije is located just a few steps from the famous Bacalar lagoon in a small Mayan town called Buenavista (Nice View). It is a new-build house with modern design including two identical separate bedrooms, each with private bathroom and access to its own backyard. The kitchen and dining room make it ideal for the evening BBQ's.



Villa Alebrije is a great choice for families, couples, individuals or for anybody who seeks silence and quietness.



The Space:

Note: There's another similar house available next to Villa Alebrije. In case of bigger group please visit our AirBnb profile or contact us directly here. Both houses can host up to 10 people.



Buenavista is located about 20 minutes from the town of Bacalar, 30 minutes from the Caribbean coast of Mahahual and 50 minutes from the boarders of Belize. There are many archeological sites near by, as well as countless free-time activities on the lagoon.



Our house is located on the edge of the town with walkable distance to the "downtown" of Buenavista, where you can buy some groceries or prepared local meals.



There is some basic stuff for cooking in the house such as oil, salt & pepper, different spices, ketchup, mustard, hot sauces, tea & coffee. We have also a potable water barrel for our guests free to use.



Guest Access:

The access to Bacalar lagoon is only about 300 meters from our house. There is a public access, as well as entry thru local lido with 35 pesos (2 USD) fee with possibility of renting kayaks or paddle boards for additional fee. This part of Bacalar lagoon is very quiet with no motor boats around, so you can enjoy total peace!



The Neighborhood:

In case that you are planning to cook, we are recommending to make some groceries on your way to the house, preferably in town of Felipe Carrillo Puerto or Bacalar. Buenavista is a small town with few local stores where you can buy only some basic food as pasta, rice, fruits & vegetables, soft drinks, beer and more. We also recommend to buy some mosquito repellent.



Also, please note that there is not any ATM and money exchange in Buenavista, so if you need to withdraw or exchange money, you can do it in Bacalar town or somewhere on your way as well.



Getting Around:

Please just do NOT follow the AirBnb's location, it doesn't work properly! Make sure to follow the link provided in our welcome message. There is very poor cellphone service in the town of Buenavista, so in case that your maps application needs data to work, open it somewhere with still good cellphone service.



There's a public bus stop right in Buenavista as well, but own or rental car would be the best.



Other Things to Note:

PLEASE NOTE

Reservations for 2 guests includes the whole property with ONE bedroom only. In case of booking for 3 or 4 guests, both bedrooms will be available. If the house is booked by 2 guests which prefer to sleep separately, a second bedroom is available for an additional cost.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The property is exactly like the pictures beautiful we enjoyed our stay at the house so much that we spent very little time at the lagoon, it is a quick walk to where you pay a few pesos to get in use their facilities to access the lagoon right in Beunevista sorry can not comment on that as we went to Bacalar.

Awesome spot away from the crowds

This place is pure magic! Perfect for 2 couples bedrooms are on either end so privacy is given. The outdoor showers in both bathrooms are like a trip to the jungle. The little plunge pool is a great place to chill. Make sure you hit the Walmart or Sam's Club to get your booze and food before you arrive... Then check in and chill! Only warning (haha) is the area around the pool (kinda natural) is a bit uneven after a few cerveza or tequila exercise caution

Very pretty unique property!

The house is very nice and very unique! The outside shower is amazing along with the dipping pool! Manager was great! Is located in a RURAL area! Very rough roads! Town folks are friendly just not a lot of interaction. Shop before you arrive. You can go rig hey and there is a close large town for food or left and drive to Bacalar.

The villa was in a private garden with a wall for security and parking inside the wall. A suggestion for improvement would be to incrrase the water pressure for the outside showers as it was difficult to wash my hair in the weak stream of water. Also a bigger, more prominent sign to show where the villa is located. There was a big tree stump at the corner where it caused a hazard when returning to the villa after dark with limited lighting. We drove into the stump and damaged the underside of our truck. It really should be cut off at the ground level for safety purposes.

The price point was great and the house itself was perfect. Extremely clean, check in process was easy, I loved the plasticized booklet leaving detailed information about this wonderful property and included great dining and touring information. Very well organized. The ambiance of the home itself is fabulous. Offers individual privacy with each bedroom having its own patio with sliding glass doors and the outdoor showers were wonderful with plenty of hot water. The lighting throughout the home is perfect reminding me Canadian standards verses the Mexican bare necessity approach. . Leaving drinkable water, coffee and bare necessities were a welcome addition and very gracious of the hosts. My only suggestion is make the driveway a bit clearer so a car can turn around easily as the road into this location is somewhat precarious. It is doable but rough and narrow. I would not want to back out at night that’s for sure. Without hesitation I would rent here again. Thank you so much to the hosts of this delightful find!

Buenavista

Das ist geräumig und bietet genug Platz für 4 Personen , es war sauber und sehr gut ausgestattet. Der Garten ist sehr schön und voller exotischer Pflanzen . Der Pool war sauber und haben jeden Tag gebadet. Wir würden die Villa jederzeit weiterempfehlen und wieder buchen. Grüße aus Deutschland
