"The Mayan Palace Resort is beautiful and has the best beaches on the Sea of Cortez - www.Vidanta.com"

"Mile's of untouched sand and no vendors, calm and relaxing - no one there to bug you. By far the best beaches in all of Puerto Penasco. "

Just a 20 mile drive to downtown Rocky Point that offers shopping, local fresh seafood market, local entertainment, cinema and marina. Only 4 miles from the new Mar de Cortes International airport.
*****
We have 2 private pools in the back yard (unheated). The splash pool and Main pool are unheated but very refreshing for summer days. The decking goes all around the house and pools. There is also a large roof top Sky Terrace with wet bar and fireplace. It is amazing to sit up here for those spectacular Sea of Cortez Sunsets and mountain views. At night (because there is no light pollution) the show you get from the stars is unbelievable – Meteor showers, satellites, constellations and the Milky Way all show themselves with grandeur. We love to sit in the back yard with a cold beverage on those hot sunny days. We have the house professionally decorated and furnished in classic items that reflect the culture of the area and the comforts of home. Flat screen TVs, and unlimited WiFi. (Can be temperamental )Stainless steel appliances and Spanish colonial furniture. This is a great location to privately unwind and spend quality time with the family, explore the surrounding nature and estuary / waterways within the wildlife sanctuary. The house offers many places to relax, including the roof top Sky Terrace.

Wading along the estuary as the tide pulls us along, shelling, fishing, swimming and just enjoying the quiet that comes from having a private gated community off the beaten path.

A Private Paradise

My friend and I had a great stay in Mayan Lakes. The house was very comfortable, and well-appointed. The proximity and free use of the Grand Mayan Resort was also incredible. All of the staff there were very friendly, and we were made to feel right at home. I look forward to returning soon!

Great second stay at this Mayan Lakes property

This is our 2nd stay at this property, and once again it was perfect! We love to cook and relax while on vacation and this property checks all the boxes. Having the use of the Mayan resort is a huge perk/bonus for us. Only comment (and this is not a reflection on the owner or property) is I am sad that they haven't developed this area more in the past 4 years that we have been staying here. But we still love the privacy and quiet. Thanks again!!

Amazing and relaxing stay

Can’t say enough about this well kept property.. very clean , relaxing and quiet. We got to enjoy the hotel grounds at the Mayan Palace in our stay. It’s about 20-30 mins past Rocky Point but the beaches and water are amazing this side of the sea. Totally recommend this place!

Great house with private pool!

This is our second stay at Mayan Lakes (different properties). We really like having an entire house with a private pool for our family. Having the ability to use the Mayan Palace for the gym, pool, or other amenities is great. It is a short drive to the resort. Great place!

Beautiful Home

The home was absolutely perfect. We had 6 total (3 adults and 3 kids) and we had plenty of space. The only issue we had was slow draining sinks in the master bathroom. We had no issues gaining access to the Mayan and it was only a 4 minute drive to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay

Great spacious home! Had everything we needed.

House really is better than the pictures, it had everything we needed. 2 pools and a big kitchen. Wifi not working was the only downside but hey we were not needing it much anyway. Mayan palace was 10 min away and so was the beach! Would stay here again!

Great experience

We had a great experience with this house. From booking, to the stay, to check out. The house was clean, AC worked great, water was hot, kitchen was awesome. We didn’t use the pools at the house because we went to the Mayan Palace daily to hang out, as it’s a short 5-8 min drive away. It was nice to be able to escape the resorts for a quiet crowd free evening at home. We had a great time. Hosts were very available to answer questions before and during our stay. We will stay here again.

Mayan Lakes

We were hesitant to book a place that wasn't right on the beach, but we absolutely loved Shauna's house. The beach is just a 5 minute drive up the road at the Mayan Palace and it is absolutely breathtaking. We spend the days at the Grand Mayan but it was nice to come back to this peaceful house after all days of activities . The house was well appointed with everything we needed. VERY clean , bright , spacious and was perfect for our small family. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing house with us. We will be back :-))

Perfect property to relax

We have visited Puerto Penasco several times and wanted to try something a little off the beaten path. This was the perfect property to relax and enjoy the quiet. It was right before a busy holiday weekend but the house was super quiet. The kids loved having pools right outside the door. The adults enjoyed the rooftop deck and looking at the stars. The resort was a short drive away and we spent several days relaxing at the resort beach and eating at the restaurants (the bridge is fixed). The internet was fast and we had several movie nights after swimming all day. Highly recommend!

Deceptive location

The map pin in listing is way off. It looks like the unit is right at the golf course, which is why I chose it. The unit is actually in the Mayan Lakes complex, which the listing avoids mentioning. The unit is somewhat run down and needs maintenance. It was not cleaned very well. The rental manager was unresponsive.

Secluded but beautiful

We all enjoyed the house. It worked great for our group. We were pretty much the only people on the property for most of our trip and that was nice. The beach and resort are really close, yet it was nice to get back to the quiet, secluded house in the evenings. We didn't have many issues. There was a DVD player that didn't work, and the kids' room got bright in the morning without a real curtain. There weren't any fitted sheets on the beds. We asked the concierge but never received them. Thankfully we brought some extra blankets. The kitchen, dining room and living room were perfect for hanging out all together. The sectional couch is perfect and our kids loved stretching out on them. Overall, it was a great place to stay!

Misleading property posting

the home itself was very well kept and spacious. However when you arrive to the house is looks as if it is something from a horror movie. The properties around the home is unfinished and looks awful. When we checked in no one at the resort or property rental had any idea of where the home was. Once checked in the house had no hot water and even after they came to fix was extremely limited and had to have the shower turned a specific way. The ocean and resort are about 10-15 minutes from the actual house. This is not ocean front property. As much as I was hoping for a better stay I would not recommend this property to anyone or ever stay here again. Please also keep in mind that this house is at least 30 mins from the actual town and is a journey if you are wanting to be near night life or any life in general.

About the host

Hosted by Shauna Rowell and Ginger

Host profile image
What can I say! We love to golf, we love the water, and we love the secluded beaches of the Mayan Palace. We've have got it all in this private house overlooking the estuary and waterways of the nature reserve. Because we are a private gated community within the Mayan Palace Resort - We can use all the Mayan Palace facilities including their outdoor and indoor pools, tennis courts, spa, gym, pool bars and their fantastic restaurants. Sometimes we go into town to buy our own fresh seafood and cook it up back at our home. We love having the space that a condo can't give you and the tranquility of being away from the lights and sounds of the city.

Why they chose this property

We love to fish, play in the sand and have family get together's for the Holidays. This house holds everyone, and has lots of room to move around. Best of all we love to get a way form it all and this is the place to do it. We are 20 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Puerto Penasco nestled in our quiet community. We just came back from our trip over new years and have always felt very safe and relaxed both at the Mayan Palace resort and our trips into town. The local people are always friendly and helpful Our private gated community offers 24 hour security and is within the Mayan Palace Resort. We have never had any worries!

What makes this property unique

You will not get the space and room from any other rental in the area. You will not get drinkable tap water and American standards community. For fun, we get to walk the beach in our own little world where you feel like you are the only one who has ever walked here before. The shelling is wondrous, and unique because of the way the ocean tides bring in life to the estuary’s tidal pools. We can fish near our house and catch supper; we can dive for clams and cook them up at our home. This is a new and better way to holiday. Private and secluded home to unwind and spend quality family time - then if you want a little action you can head to the resort and partake in daily resort activities for adults & children, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis, secluded private beaches, restaurants and bars, Fitness Center and Health Spa. You also have access to the Jack Nicklaus Signature Peninsula golf course. You can't beat it! the best of both worlds.
The best place for sea shells is to drive out past the golf course as far as you can go and walk into the secluded beach area. The size and sheer number of shells are mind blowing; some are big enough to be used for soup bowls!
