About this villa rental
Located on the town (beach side) of Puerto Morelos. Sea views from upstairs in la palapa. A short 4 minute walk to wide beach entrance. Easy 20 min walk to town on beach or paved road for biking or walking. 8 minute drive to town. 10 min on bike. A private home with stunning new pool in one of the most beautiful settings in Puerto Morelos. A stay in our two story Beach House offers “the best of all possible worlds”
Combining a 'traditional' Mayan Palapa with a modern Adobe home, great snorkeling and swimming with easy beach access. Large front sundeck and back terrace deck with heavenly outdoor shower and gorgeous completely private pool.
Downstairs fully air conditioned living room bedroom air conditioned with en suite bath.
Upstairs in la palapa is also fully air conditioned shower on outside terrace.
We are located in the town of Puerto Morelos, only twenty minutes south of Cancun airport and ten minutes from the main highway leading to historic Mayan sites, popular tourist attractions and modern shopping and dining.
The upstairs 'Palapa' (newly air conditioned) has a twenty-five foot high thatched peaked ceiling with varnished wood beams and tiled floors, a king size bed and hammocks, a private bathroom and two outdoor sundecks – one facing the ocean where you can sunbathe and enjoy the Caribbean breezes – fabulous sunsets over the jungle from the back terrace. You can watch the sun rise from your upstairs bed or luxuriate in an invigorating outdoor shower surrounded by palms and bamboo trees.
The town plaza of Puerto Morelos is only five minutes by car, taxi, an easy bike ride or a twenty-minute leisurely walk along the beach. Puerto Morelos, a small unassuming town with all the conveniences you could desire and no tourist congestion, boasts fine restaurants, a pizza parlor, cafés, a playground, church, beaches, a grocery store, a bookstore, a travel agency, and a dive shop (if you decide not to snorkel from the beach in front of the Palapa) and once a week an outdoor fresh produce market.
You can also sun and shop and play in Cancun or Playa del Carmen or tour the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, Coba and Tulum. The entire coast (the Mayan Riviera) is one long stretch of beautiful beaches, cabanas, and ecological environmental parks where you can horseback ride, swim in ceynotes and underground caves and visit the historical Mayan Ruins. Taxis are plentiful and reasonable for trips up and down the coast. There are also tour buses to various Mayan sites that can be booked in Puerto.
The biggest problem? You'll never want to leave!!

La Palapa was spacious, immaculate, well-equipped and a perfect location for our family. A bit out of town, easy to bicycle, quiet and with access to the beach. Colleen and Nora were terrific - responsive hosts and they gave us great tips for local restaurants & snorkeling. The kitchen was especially thoughtfully equipped. We hope to return to La Palapa!

This house was an absolute gem, and the backyard truly felt like a little oasis. We enjoyed our time at the house just as much as we enjoyed exploring the surrounding area. Watching the wildlife and relaxing by the pool was a highlight of our stay. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the amenities plenty. It’s always a bonus when the owners are wonderful—and that was definitely the case here. We received so many helpful tips from both Colleen and Nora. Their communication is great and they genuinely want you to enjoy your stay. As vegetarians, we also appreciated the restaurant recommendations. (El Huerto del Puerto was excellent, and the rooftop dining at Portside PM was fantastic—their black bean burger was top-notch.) We truly cannot recommend this stay enough. Thank you for sharing your home with us; what a cool experience!

Our hosts Colleen y Nora were awesome! They were always available to answer any questions, big and small. The house was very clean, and comfortable. The access and availability of our host to answer any questions, offer suggestions for places to eat, help setup car rental, and transportation to and from airport are just a few things that made our first experience in Mexico a very positive experience.
