About this house rental
Casa del Cielo de las Estrellas is a charming beach front villa located just 5 miles south of Mahahual. It is a tranquil place far from mainstream tourism and full of options for discovery, adventure and relaxation. Enjoy activities like swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, fishing, beach combing, or bird watching.
Our two-story vacation home has been tastefully decorated and furnished and is designed to accommodate up to six guests. It is rented as a single unit only. You never have to share our exceptionally wide private beach (210 feet) or its amenities with other guests! This is an eco-friendly, self-sustained house. Our water supply is maintained by rainwater collection and electricity is generated with a solar-electric power generation system.
The villa sits sea-side on an extraordinarily large (1.5 acre) and delightfully landscaped beach lot. It is very secluded and private. The caretaker casita, with the caretaker family providing assistance and 24/7 security, is in 200 feet distance from the main house and neighboring lots are not developed. For additional privacy and security access to the property has been restricted with lateral fences and a fence at the beach road. The beach road does not cut through, but is set behind the property in 200 feet distance from the main house.
The house has two full bathrooms with warm water showers. Downstairs the house features a large kitchen- living-dining area with a fully equipped kitchen. A beautiful catalox (a native hardwood) dining table and rustic spiral stairs around a hardwood tree trunk set special accents to this room. Custom-build very large arched mahogany windows open to the ocean side for unobstructed views and optimal ventilation. The tiled front porch is shaded by the balcony and is our favored breakfast spot. A seating area behind the house is accessible through the back door. Here you can fully enjoy the beauty of our lush tropical garden and jungle park and observe birds and other animals. It also provides tranquility and shade during exceptionally windy days.
Upstairs our villa features two cooling-fan equipped bedrooms, each with a double bed and a roll-out bed and one of the rooms with an additional couch. A small locker room for storage of suitcases and cloths also contains a security lock box for valuables. Independently from both bedrooms, you can step out onto our spacious shaded balcony, which is a favorite place for hanging out in hammocks and catching a fresh sea breeze during hot afternoon hours. It is also a great place for an unforgettable moonlight dinner and to enjoy the spectacular sunrise over the Caribbean Sea. Stairs from the balcony lead to the tiled rooftop patio, which offers panoramic Caribbean views. It is ideal for tanning during the day (nude sun-bathing possible here) and for fantastic stargazing during the night (hence the name of the house).
Our private beach has many fruit-bearing coconut palms and for additional shade we build a palm-thatched hut for guests to recover from the intense rays of the Caribbean sun. You can string a hammock to one of our Sea-Grape trees and relax listening to the waves or reading a good book.
Instead of converting our beach into a sand desert– unfortunately the common practice at most beach properties– we landscaped our beach by retaining and planting native salt-tolerant plants that interlace in large patches open sand areas. These patches are not only much more beautiful, but also prevent erosion and provide diverse habitats for beach-dwelling animals.
The drop off at our beach is very good and in contrast to other Costa Maya beaches you don’t have to wade through very shallow water for hundreds of feet before you reach greater water depths, but you can swim and snorkel directly from the beach. The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef in front of Casa del Cielo de las Estrellas is arguably the finest snorkeling site in the Mahahual region. Minimal tide action, the lack of currents and of high waves provide for safe swimming and kayaking conditions, even for beginners.
In addition to free bottled water, weekly changed fresh towels and linens, propane gas, board games, CD player, etc., we also offer special amenities to make a beach vacation enjoyable: These include the free use of kayaks, life vests and snorkeling gear, an outdoor grill and the availability of a large and diverse library that includes a comprehensive collection of Caribbean and Mexico nature guides.
Last but not least, our very friendly caretaker will be always happy to assist with your problems, questions and special needs and to help making your visit at Casa del Cielo de las Estrellas an unforgettable pleasant vacation.

Reservations and communication were easy and clear. Caretaker Oscar was super friendly and helpful. The kitchen was a bit sparse— no spices, oils, etc.—but the house had everything else needed for relaxing. Appreciate the snorkeling gear and guidebooks.

From the very beginning of reserving this property the owner was in great communication. Throughout the stay, and after our stay the excellent communication continued. The property itself felt like a post card of tropical paradise. The secluded location was a great "get away" from the tourist heavy coastal towns of the Yucatan. The snorkeling and kayaks available were all in great shape. I highly recommend going out with them! The star gazing roof was amazing. I live in a major US city, and to see this many stars was almost disorienting! The comfortable chairs on the roof made it hard to peel yourself away form the sea of stars! The kitchen is somewhat primitive, but has all the basic needs to make good meals. There is a fridge, 2 burner stove, sink, pots and pans, dishes, silverware, and plenty of counter space. The beach on their property is in great shape! The caregiver keeps it clean and inviting. There is plenty of lounging areas all along the beach on the property. The caretaker Oscar, and his wife, were super nice, helpful, and made us feel like friends! They were also intuitive to know how much attention/privacy we wanted. The home owner is lucky to have them! The ONLY complaint is also one of the things that makes it great. The beach road to get there is in rough shape (partly due to excessive rain during the dry season). This is good because you don't many other tourists coming to the area. If you want a remote beach paradise, this is it!

Absolutely thrilled in every aspect of our visit here… the location, the house, snorkeling, the amenities and more than anything… the friendliness and attention of the caretaker and his family! Went above and beyond every expectation we had in order to make sure we enjoyed our stay! I am definitely coming back as often as I can

Mahahual is a great little village but now growing due to cruise ship visits. The house is about 8.5 k from the village down a very bad road with many huge potholes but we made it a few times in and out! The house itself was ok but it seems like it needs some TLC and maintenance. There is no oven or microwave so plan around that. There are many books however in a humid climate they suffer. The grounds were landscaped but are now very messy & need to be
cleaned. Unfortunately we didn’t have hot water during our 3 day stay but the caretaker tried to fix it. Hayhu restaurant (south) is excellent and the Travel In’ restaurant was great. You have to call them 24 hours in advance & select your food. We didn’t get in the water much due to storms.
