About this property

Beach front twin home - central courtyard - great for families and large groups

Casa Que Canta (House that Sings) is a Spanish style villa with a central courtyard and 2nd level terrace facing the ocean. The bedrooms are all on the 2nd level - each has a terrace and are fully airconditioned. We also have a backup generator for the occasional power outage. Two have a king beds, two have queens and twins.. We also offer on site all inclusive meals The villa is a located 5 miles north of Mahahual Mexico. The beaches are white sand with a coral reef just 250 yards off shore. Ideal for swimming and sun bathing. Area is know for world class snorkeling and diving. Reef in front of the property has a number of beautiful corral heads.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ENTIRE CARIBBEAN COST IS HAVING ISSUES WITH SARGASSO SEA WEED AT TIMES. NO WAY TO PREDICT BUT WHEN PRESENT CAN MAKE SWIMMING DIFFICULT AND HAS A BAD ODOR. Snorkeling & dive trips also available in nearby Mahahual. There are many restaurants, fun shops, & great Mayan ruins near by. If you like to fish there is both world class Fly fishing for Tarpon and Bonefish and excellent off shore fishing available for charter in town. Fishing is consistently good. Things to do at Casa Que Canta: The area is rich in Mayan culture and history. Nearby ruins of Chacchoben are a must visit along with Kohonlich and Dzibenache if you have time. Lake Bacalar and the old Spanish fort also make a great day trip. The area is also rich in Cennotes some of which are almost too beautiful to describe. Hidden Worlds Cenote has been featured on a National Geographic special.
Majahual itself is a fast growing Mexican fishing village with many good restaurants and nice shops. Very busy on cruise ship days, but extremely quiet in between. Beaches are wonderful.
Water Sports: Traveling to Mexico for many is all about the Ocean and the beach. The Costa Maya is blessed with some of the most beautiful beaches in Mexico - almost all of them protected by the worlds 2nd largest barrier reef. The reef at Casa Que Canta is only 200 meters off shore. This means the swimming is exceptional - no currents - no rip tides - extremely safe even for small children. The waves are very light and the depth drops off slowly - you can walk out 100 meters and still be waist high. The reef provides great snorkeling - tons of corral - fish - even an occasional lobster if you watch closely. The nearby fisherman go out almost everyday and can provide fresh fish for use on the grill. Or if you like bring a spear gun and try getting your own.
Snorkeling from the kayaks we have is great on the calmer days and very safe.

Would have been 5* but...

It’s a great house right on the beach. Joe and his caretakers Sandra and Emanuel were very welcoming and available. You have to be aware that Joe lives in half of the house and as it is not totally separate does use the “communal” areas. The bedrooms and bathrooms are lovely, nicely done and clean. Some work needed in the kitchen. The sink and tap could do with replacing as could the cooker. The fridge works perfectly but doesn’t look very good. There weren’t 4 wine glasses and not really any serving dishes This is all simple stuff and probably sounds petty. We did enjoy our stay but sometimes it’s the little things that make a stay perfect.

Private paradise

We had a lovely stay with two families including kiddos ages 2, 3, 4. We loved the privacy on the beach front and how well they took care of the grounds and kept the beach clean for us so we could enjoy the sand and water. The kayaks were a fun bonus to paddle around the water with the kids. The host was so helpful and responsive when needed. The town was never too busy or closed up, we did lots of cooking at the house and could have used a few more kitchen conveniences but were able to manage and eat well. The house was clean in general but could use a deep clean. I did not see the washer for clothes but also never asked. For the price, location and private beach we were very happy and would stay here again!

Sargesse

Nous étions 9 dont 6 enfants entre 4 et 16 ans et nous y avons passé 7 nuits. La maison est correct, mais sans plus. Elle est un peu loin de tout, 20 minutes pour Mahahual et il n'y à rien a proximité. L'équipement de la cuisine est lui des plus minimal et pas en très bonne état comme le reste de la maison. Mais c'est surtout la plage devant qui était recouverte d'une épaisse couche de sargesse ce qui rendait la baignade impossible et qui empestait l'air à la limite du supportable. La piscine sur le toit n'est pas filtré, et après quelques jours elle ne donnait plus très envie que malgré un dosage excessif de chlore. Nous avons eu également des soucis la première nuit avec l'alimentation électrique qui était sous dimensionner pour faire tourner les clim des chambres. Heureusement, Emmanuel, le gardien de la maison a reglé cela le lendemain. Emmanuel à vraiment été le meilleurs coté de ce séjours. Il a été au petit soins avec nous. Heureusement qu'il était là!

Could not stay

We arrived at the home and the caretaker did not know we were coming. The pool was empty and filthy with tile falling off. All the lounge chairs outside were broken. Trash on beach, though I know it is an issue for the area. It would probably been taken care of if they knew we were coming. Had small children and was not safe for them. Oven on bricks and BBQ outside was awful. The owner would not return $600 of our payment saying VRBO keeps that. When i contacted VRBO, they stated they do not do that . Owner refused to give back payment in full. Sent VRBO pictures and they agreed property was not what was advertised. The place does not look like pictures in the description.

About the host

Hosted by Joe La Bore

I retired to Mexico in 2009. We choose Mahahual because of the great beaches, laid back life style, and great diving. The town is safe, quiet, and a great place to vacation or retire. The weather is nearly perfect your round - 70's at night - 80's by day. Warmest months are early Fall when the temps are 5-8 degrees higher and the breezes die down.

Why they chose this property

Casa Que Canta is just north of Mahahual on great beach. It is about as close to town as one can get and yet still have a secluded home on a private beach. We consistently are one of the highest rated properties in the area by our guests. In addition, our caretakers have been with us for 7 years and provide an exceptional level of service.

What makes this property unique

You will be vacationing in a home - not a hotel room. I furnished the entire villa not as a rental, but as a home we would live in. Guest are always amazed at the level of detail and quality of the furnishings. As a result we get a lot of repeat visitors and are often booked early in the year for key dates.
