About this property

Beachfront House in Quaint Fishing Village - private beach!

Tana Pepem, or 'House of Butterflies' in Mayan, is a spacious beachfront house ideal for families or friends wanting to relax and enjoy nature. Only 2.5 hours from Cancun, it is easily accessible from its international airport. Perfect for long meals, beach walks, shell seeking, bird watching, and dreamy sunsets. We are taking extra cleaning and disinfecting precautions for you to have a safe stay.

El Cuyo is a small, non-touristic fishing village in the uppermost tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, within the natural reserve of Río Lagartos, close to several Mayan ruins, cenotes and colonial towns. We recommend renting a car in order to tour the area and feel the culture. It is a very safe and quiet town that allows visitors to witness and live rural Mexico. All restaurants serve local cuisine, seafood being the specialty!

The house is built so that all rooms have a view of the ocean. Kitchen and living room look out to the outdoor beachfront terrace equipped with lounge bed and hammocks. The downstairs bedroom is in the back, but built on a higher level with indoor ocean view windows. Upstairs bedroom is completely private with its own oversized terrace with lounge bed, dressing room and bathroom.

There are many fun activities at El Cuyo, including swimming, kite surfing, tours to see flamingos, salines, shark-whales (July to Sept), fishing, ATV rentals, and many other outdoor activities.

Beach front residence

The house was very nice well furnished, comfortable furniture , 3 hammocks, nice beach lounges, water was 60 yards from the house on a beautiful uncrowded beach. House staff responded quickly for requests for laundry and supplies. Very quiet and enjoyable.

Great stay

Very accommodating home rental with easy accessible path to beach. Inside is as listed. Could use some deep cleaning and replacement of the beach lounger and umbrella. Luckily there were other beach chairs available. Dining table was especially nice , it was well made and light to carry in and out the large barn doors to the outdoor patio. Plenty of shade and sun based on your preference. Recommendations to the owner: small table and chairs in the upstairs bedroom for guests to take out onto porch. I understand with the winds these cannot stay outdoors. Bottom line, wonder location! Easy walk into town and to the pier. Would recommend and stay again.

Beautiful stay in El Cuyo

We so enjoyed our stay in El Cuyo. The house was just as described and in walking distance to several places to eat. We enjoyed our coffee on the patio and our walks on the beach. We will be back ! Thank you for your beautiful home in this magical town.

About the host

Hosted by Yahaira Gavidia

Yahaira lives in Cancun but sought out the perfect beach to get away from all the hussle and worries and just RELAX. We built this house in 2007 and go every chance we get! Our 15 and 11 year old kids are big fans.

Why they chose this property

We've been visiting the area since more than 15 years ago, since good friends already had a vacation home here. We love the place and as soon as the first opportunity opened, we bought an oceanfront lot and Yahaira's best friend designed the house entirely to our taste and needs. We are right on the beach.

What makes this property unique

Relaxation, nature, private beach. El Cuyo es a place where you can definitely get away from it all- it's another reality. Whether you choose to stay at home all day and just lounge around, or you decide to be adventurous in the nearby natural reserve, you definitely RELAX. Also great for kite-surfers! El Cuyo is an up and coming trendy atmosphere.
