Casa de Coco – Private Beachfront Eco Retreat Near Mahahual
Casa de Coco is a private beachfront home offering exceptional privacy, natural beauty, and a peaceful Caribbean setting. Located where the jungle meets the sea, this well-maintained home allows guests to fall asleep to the sound of the waves, wake to stunning ocean sunrises, and enjoy miles of uncrowded sandy beach just steps away. With convenient access to Mahahual and Xcalak, Casa de Coco is ideal for travelers seeking a quiet, authentic coastal escape.
________________________________________
Location & Privacy
Casa de Coco is located approximately 15 km south of Mahahual, just 1 km off a paved road, with paved access all the way into town. Mahahual is a comfortable 15–20 minute drive, and Xcalak is less than 30 minutes away.
The home is one of the last properties on the beach road, resulting in very little traffic—typically only a few vehicles per day. There are no neighboring houses on either side of the property, providing a high level of privacy. The home backs up to the jungle, and guests can enjoy long, uninterrupted walks along the beach in either direction.
________________________________________
The House
The main living area is located on the second floor to capture consistent ocean breezes throughout the year—an important feature of this eco-friendly home. Large, double-pane tinted sliding windows provide excellent airflow, added security, and beautiful views. The exterior of the house has been freshly painted, giving it a bright and well-cared-for appearance.
Casa de Coco is powered by an upgraded solar energy system with a backup generator. Water is collected in a large cistern, and hot water is available throughout the house. The solar system supports hair dryers and other small appliances.
Please note: There is no air-conditioning. The home is designed for guests who enjoy open-air living, natural ventilation, and an environmentally conscious lifestyle.
________________________________________
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
• Master Bedroom: King-size bed with en-suite bathroom
• Second Bedroom: Two twin beds that can be combined into a king
• Second Bathroom: Located across from the second bedroom
Both bathrooms feature attractive tile work, glass-block showers, and Mexican ceramic sinks.
________________________________________
Living, Dining & Kitchen
The open-concept living room flows into the dining area and kitchen, creating a comfortable and inviting space. The fully equipped kitchen includes:
• New stove/oven
• New refrigerator
• Large sink
• Mexican tiled countertops and backsplash
Ceiling fans are installed throughout the home, and all windows are fitted with curtains. Dark wood cabinets and closets add warmth and character to the interior.
________________________________________
Outdoor Living
A large covered balcony runs the full width of the front of the house and is accessible from the master bedroom, living room, and dining area. It is furnished with a dining table, chairs, and lounge seating, making it an ideal place to enjoy meals, read, or relax while watching the ocean.
The private beach area features coconut palms that provide natural shade, along with a landscaped area for beach chairs. The balcony offers beautiful sunrise views and is a favorite spot for morning coffee.
________________________________________
Beach & Water Activities
The private beach is located directly across the beach road and is part of the property. The sandy bottom has a gradual slope and no turtle grass, making it excellent for swimming. Kayaking and snorkeling are easily accessible, with the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef located further offshore.
Provided amenities include:
• Kayaks
• Snorkel gear
• Life vests
• Beach lounge chairs
________________________________________
What’s Provided
• Bottled water for drinking, cooking, and brushing teeth
• Fresh bed linens, bath towels, and beach towels (weekly)
• Toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, and cleaning supplies
• Wireless internet and internet TV (guests may log in using their own Netflix or Amazon account)
________________________________________
Dining & Transportation
Despite the private and remote feel, dining options are nearby:
• A beachfront restaurant and bar less than ½ km north (lunch and dinner)
• A hotel restaurant within 2 km north (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)
Most guests purchase groceries and supplies in Tulum or Chetumal before arrival, or shop at small local stores in Mahahual. A rental car is required and strongly recommended.
________________________________________
Important Information
Casa de Coco is not a resort and may not be suitable for everyone. The home is located in a beachfront jungle environment, and guests should expect insects and wildlife typical of the area. Guests should also be comfortable staying in a home without air-conditioning.
Like much of the Caribbean, Mahahual can experience seasonal sargassum seaweed. Conditions vary and cannot be predicted. This location generally experiences less impact than many nearby areas, and even when seaweed is present on shore, the water is often clearer. When conditions are unfavorable, guests often choose to swim downtown, sightsee, or explore other nearby beaches.
________________________________________
Caretaker & Guest Support
An on-site caretaker lives in a casita attached to the house and provides 24/7 security and assistance. They are available to help with any issues during your stay. We can also assist with arranging experienced tour guides and excursions throughout the region.
________________________________________
Is Casa de Coco Right for You?
Casa de Coco is ideal for guests who value privacy, tranquility, and a close connection to nature. It is well suited for couples or families who enjoy open-air living, eco-friendly homes, and a peaceful beachfront setting away from crowds.
We hope you enjoy a memorable stay at Casa de Coco and come to love Mahahual as much as we do.

Relaxing and Remote Getaway

Beautiful house with a private beach, the perfect place to relax and unwind. House was outfitted with everything we needed, and the housekeeper Daribel checked in on us every day and had some of the cutest pets. Kathleen was incredibly helpful and responsive and made sure we had more than enough information about the house and the surrounding area. Overall an awesome experience!

Great location

We could tell that this place had been rented numerous times before we arrived just by the first viewing of the premise.. As we settled in we realized we didn't have hot water for the first week , toilet was broke, shower head was broke, no seasonings for cooking, the French press bottom was cracked, there's no broom for cleaning the floor of the sand.. Numerous odds and ends (nothing too serious) that should be readily available for tenants, shouldn't need to ask.. We overlooked most of it and made it all work, if you are not real picky.. This is a great location! Great beach front!

Beautiful home away from it all!

Booking and communication we're easy and straightforward - Kathleen was a prompt, friendly and helpful host. The property itself is out of a dream! Right on the beach, with incredible views and peace and tranquility. A few people walked by every so often, but unless we went somewhere, we didn't see anyone! The onsite caretaker, Daribel, is polite, helpful and friendly. The apartment is well equipped, we had one issue which was dealt with quickly, and the information given beforehand put us at ease. Kathleen made a recommendation for Mahahual Ecotours, owned by Victor Rosales - we spent the day with him, and if you can, do it!! He was amazing! From the property, we spent the day at Bacalar Lagoon, Mahahual town, and Hayhu beach club - all brilliant days with lots of incredible experiences. We didn't get the best weather at the start of our 6night stay, so unfortunately couldn't get out to snorkel or use the additional equipment on offer, but if you had calmer days, it would be awesome! We were really happy with our stay - a dreamy location for a very reasonable price 👍

Beautiful stay in a tranquil place and incredible hosts!

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Coco. The location is stunning - it is so secluded, other than a few houses down the road it was just surrounded by jungle for miles and a beautiful, essentially private beach. We barely saw anyone else throughout our stay. It’s the perfect place if you are looking to escape the the tourist trail and find some real tranquility. It’s easily accessible by car also as the roads are of surprisingly good quality. The property itself was very cute and super clean - it suited our needs perfectly and you can’t argue with being right on the beach! The sound of the waves , the sunrise over the sea and the stars at night were simply magical! We noticed other reviews had mentioned the problem of seaweed / debris in the area but we didn’t find this to be an issue and the caretaker made sure to clean the beach for us each day which we were very grateful for. Kathleen was also an amazing host - she really went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and was super helpful with quick communication. She gave a lot of useful advice about the area and getting around and really helped us out with a couple of issues relating to our trip. We are very thankful and we really couldn’t have asked for more / our only wish is we could have stayed longer!

Great Place to Stay!

The house was just as advertised. Communication with the owner before and during our stay was excellent and very prompt. The beach and ocean in front of the house are beautiful, we were able to swim to the reef and snorkel from the beach. Stargazing from the rooftop deck was AMAZING! The house and property were peaceful, private and very relaxing. The caretaker, Daribel and his wife, Flor were helpful and kept everything cleaned up and nice. Flor even cooked us a meal one evening that was delicious! They were accessible when needed, but otherwise respected our privacy. We highly recommend this property for a relaxing beach get away.

Beautiful beach view, totally isolated!

We had a great time in Mahahual in Casa de Cocos. We were looking for isolation due to the pandemic... and got It here! Kitchen was well appointed, but grill wasn’t working. There was a lovely beach in front of the house and use of kayaks. The only issue we had was the amount of garbage on the beach itself... not the fault of the house owner of course, just a bit of a surprise. (we took walks for miles but there was quite a bit of plastic / sargasso on the vast expanse of the beach ...) PS: the on-site house manager Daribel is super helpful and nice to get kayaks and beach chairs out — and his wife can make you the best shrimp ceviche!!

Great Potential

As much as we wanted to love this place there were just too many problems to ignore. Several plumbing issues, kitchen poorly stocked for cooking, and unsightly garbage on the beach immediately adjacent to the property boundaries. Beach road traffic can get busy at times but you only notice it when you are in the house… can’t hear it from the beach. The house, balcony and beach have comfortable furniture. The floor plan of the house is laid out well with a full balcony providing views of the beach. Nice location between Xcalak and Mahahual. No noisy neighbors. Kind caretakers who cooked us a delicious chicken mole meal… some of the best mole I have ever had. The house is well kept for the most part but some issues and basic maintenance needs, brought to the attention of the owners, need to be addressed to provide a comfortable and fully functional rental.

A+++++

This was our first experience using VRBO, or any other site like it. We were thrilled by how it all went! The communication with the property owners was top notch, and we left the states feeling secure from that communication! The property was super clean, and as described! In fact, we can't think of anything to complain about... Which is rare because we're spoiled Americans. :) This place was a gem. Next time, we will stay here the whole time, instead of breaking up our trip visiting different places. Thanks for making our "firstime" so easy. Craig & Tia

Very nice and comfortable house with a large balcony and steps to the rooftop to watch the sunset. It's very private and has great breezes . You will definitely need a car as it is fairly remote. The house was stocked with plenty of linens, beach towels, etc. It's located on a beautiful sandy-bottom beach. There's a convenient beach club down the road with good food and atmosphere.

Paradise found!

Wonderful fully equipt home with a patient caretaker! My children wanted 2 coconuts a day! Absolutely stunning location with a fabulous beach club within walking distance. Mahahual is about a 20 minute drive with lots of wildlife to see along the way if you keep your eyes peeled! Kathleen was very easy to deal with and everything was as she said it would be. Highly recommend for families, my children loved it as did my husband and I. The stars over the ocean were quite literally dazzling, I would not have changed a single thing

About the host

Why they chose this property

We chose our property because of it's location. We love downtown Mahahual, as well as Xcalak. We very rarely eat at the house so we like to go to restaurants for every meal. We are 15 Kilometers south of Mahahual on the beach road. The beach road can be very rough so most of the time we take the paved roads. Our house is less than a kilometer off the first cut through between the paved road and the beach road heading south to Xcalak. Taking the paved road we can be in town between 15 and 20 minutes. In addition, since we are south of town we can take the paved road and be in Xcalak in less than 30 minutes. There are very few house directly off the first turnoff.

What makes this property unique

What is so unique about our house is the beach. The first time we were in Mahahual, we drove up and down the beach road trying to find the location of our dream beach house. As soon as we saw Puerto Angel beach, my husband and I looked at each other and said this is the most beautiful beach we have ever seen!
