The Vibe: The interior features a beautiful tiled grey and blue color scheme and a large living room for relaxing.

Indoor/Outdoor Living: Large sliding glass doors lead to your patio, personal outdoor table, and chairs. Natural Shade: While Hurricane Beryl stripped the old canopy, we installed a new shade but the palm trees are much larger now and provide great natural shade for the area as is. The Beach & World-Class Snorkeling Direct Access: Relax on your large terracotta patio with direct beach views. You are literally 10 to 20 steps from the water, depending on the tides. The Shoreline: A beautiful white sand beach stretches for about 25 meters before the coral begins, with gently sloping, calm waves. The Reef: This is the second-largest reef in the world. Expect to see turtles, mantas, Tropical fish and maybe even a Manatee! Pro Tips: Head to the left and past the first set of corals for the best snorkeling spots. Don’t skip a night snorkel—the lobsters are everywhere! The Cenotes: After heavy rain, watch for the unique sight of underwater cenotes pouring fresh water directly into the ocean.

If you’re sharp and quiet, you’ll see monkeys, parrots, toucans, and iguanas on a daily basis. The Terraces: Responsible adults are welcome to hang out on the 3rd and 4th-floor terraces. At 40 feet high, the views of the coastline are absolutely amazing (not suitable for small kids). Local Dining: If you don't feel like cooking, there are now two beachside restaurants within easy walking distance. The Reality Check (Read Before Booking) This is "basically" luxury camping with walls. This off-grid house was built to embrace the raw beauty of a natural paradise, not a sterile, million-dollar city resort. Off-Grid Living: This is not a perfectly climate-controlled environment. We provide the essentials in the rooms and kitchen, but the salt, sand, and wind are part of the experience. Wear & Tear: Being this close to the ocean means the salt air causes some natural wear and tear. The Guest: We’re looking for easy-going travelers who value privacy and nature over "pristine" hotel appearances. We mention this to make sure we filter out the picky people who only look at the pretty pictures and immediately book it and wonder where the Air Conditioning is. You get the entire 2nd floor apartment mentioned above and access to all common areas, two terraces, jungles and beaches. There are third and fourth floor beautiful balconies which all responsible adults are welcome to hangout on top (not for kids)- about 40 feet high, Great Views! (early and late hours may be limited) On-Site Support & Caretakers Depending on your booking, a host may or may not be on-site for your entire stay. However, we have two full-time caretakers who work day and night shifts. They are there to manage the complex off-grid systems and assist you whenever needed. Supporting a Cause Your rental proceeds directly impact our marine environmental agency. You may see our part-time employees working nearby; they focus on environmental protection, removing beach plastics, and advocating for the reef. They generally stay far from the house and won't disturb your privacy. Off-Grid Security & Efficiency To run this secluded property efficiently, we utilize: Coded and Key'd door locks for easy access. Security lighting and exterior-facing only motion cameras for your peace of mind. While the area is very safe, we ask that you use common sense: Do not leave valuables lying out on the beach. Keep windows and doors closed when you are away from the house. Puerto Angel is one of the most coveted, beautiful beaches areas in all of Mahahual and Costa maya. When the conditions are right, it gets a perfect 10; sometimes mother nature chooses otherwise though too! We have only 6 neighbors within a 30 mile radius and we know them all very well PLUS- We now have 2 bar/restaurants within WALKING distance of our house if you don’t feel like cooking or driving back in town! (the close at sunset and 9 -------- Let me tell you a little but about how we found this area and Villa Costa Maya if you like. I founded a small, automated, online vitamin company right out of college. It was fairly successful and allowed me to travel unhindered in search for a perfect beach and beach house which became my obsession. We took about 5 years and checked out almost 50 countries to find the best beach within approximately a days travel of Texas to have a beach house on and have some fun along the way - we finally found the largely unadulterated Costa Maya. We took 2 years and checked out 52 lots/properties along the 80 mile stretch of coastline to find the best beaches in Costa Maya, it was Puerto angel. Then we waited 3 years for the right property to become available, only in this small section of desirable, very snorkel friendly beach and we finally found it! Enter "VIlla Costa Maya" ! Thanks Very easy to get to mahahual via cancun, playa, tulum, bacalar or chetumal with ADO buses, super nice and affordable bus line. Mayab works too. With that being said a vehicles is Highly recommended and it’s a super easy drive from cancun or playa. We do it monthly for supplies and to pick up friends. You do not need an SUV, any car will do. Taxi's are doable but are kind of a pain and cost $7-15 per trip from mahahual. THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE PROPERTY. Eco-dwelling, please be smart with trash, impact, nature, energy and water and all the like. Once they are used up, they are usually depleted until the next day. All household water is thermal warmed by the sun in the huge black solar tanks on the top of the terrace and can vary from quite-hot in the summer months to sometimes chilly in the latter- really depends on the sun, wind and usage Try your best to bring as LITTLE PLASTIC to the ocean as possible!! Our Caribbean and our planet are already completely over-run with plastic wastes- DO YOUR PART. We voluntarily walk the beach and remove at least a FULL truck-load of plastic from the beach every other week with the changing tides in our local 10 kilometer area we actively support. Its 100% off-the grid- not connected to anything but internet ;) so please keep that in mind, we must pay for the water trucks, propane for cooking, generator gas for storms and pumping septic when there is too much consumption, It can get very costly and is difficult to orchestrate way out here with many of them not available until at least the next day. We do not run the generator if the power cuts late in the night, It will come on sure as day, at dawn ;) Normally, everyone is asleep and no one ever notices around these parts. We have Double sized solar panels and a wind generator, lithium power wall and tesla starlink internet, still every extra person is felt in the system- more water, electricity, septic and so-on, so yes, We must charge extra per person/bed. That being mentioned- We get a lot of Solo, nature travelers, so the price includes 1; after that there is a small extra charge per person, per night to help offset these issues. The weather changes fast out here on the ocean, 85% of the time its beautiful sunny day with little clouds and a nice westerly trade wind breeze, but sometimes it’s not. The winds, tides and currents dictate everything out here. Sometimes the beach looks like a lake, smooth and perfect for snorkeling. Sometimes it's more windy and it's better for playing in the waves, boogie boarding and feeling that perfect ocean breeze. Changes daily even! The winds and currents will occasionally bring in loads of sargasso or beach plastics to our yucatan coastlines. We have better beach position than most others in this scenario though and spent 7 years finding it! The beach portion in front of the house is normally raked for nearly every reservation, usually on the morning of the second day, as many people get in too late on the first day to even see the beach in the daylight- It would be unfortunate if the beach was “dirty” again when you awoke as it can do during those times. Note: We can not clean everything mother natures ocean brings in, if it is still currently being brought in by the currents, it will immediately be replaced and is fruitless. If it is a time of heavy waves or seaweed, please take a look around and see how much it affects our entire Caribbean, it is mother nature. Maid/Cleaning Note- Hey Y'all so the previous owner was telling us how hard it was to keep the beachfront places really clean up to certain "more-picky" guest's expectations as it's directly on the beach and designed with air-through open style concepts. So we came up with a new Idea, in which you decide what type of cleaning you would prefer based on your ideals and cost. There is no "maid service" way out here in remote paradise. Any maids which live in Mahahual, live in-city and are full-time employed by the big hotels and are always highly sought after as Mahahual is now Touristy Booming and "good maids" are few and far between and therefore much more expensive too- so much more even than other "more advanced" trades like mechanics, electricians and plumbers!! It's an actual weird problem out here. He does a good job for not being a maid, but undoubtedly he will miss things if you are scrupulous/ more picky with things being clean, type-person. This is the cost of being less than 10 meters from the ocean trade winds, fine sand and crashing waves. This house lies between the ocean and the tropical jungle, It will be nice and ready but hopefully your group is the type who understands these locations and if something is very evident, simply ask our guy to come in and clean/fix it- that's what they are there for! We actually lose money in this transaction when including his pay and the Gas/Laundry expenses. The laundry is another object out here being off- grid, we must get it done by a professional laundry company in-town, which does a GREAT job, but is also very timely (one week turnover) and expensive (over $10 for a normal reservations worth of laundry). If you would like the $90, hired-maid option we can pay our guy drive to the next town over "Limones" and pick up an "Actual Maid" and drive her back to the house. She will work the normal 6 hour shift on the house and then he will drive her back to Limones and then back to our house (2.5 hour RT). We do not make money on this either. This is 2.5 hours of driving/gas, the cost of the maid, the cost of our guys time and the cost of the Laundry. This is your decision 8) So in a nutshell, please do not reserve the place unless you are a nature lover and easy going, this is nature at its finest. Basically if you can’t enjoy camping, you're just not that kind of person- It's doubtful you'd enjoy it anywhere out here, jungle beach off-grid secluded paradise. It’s truly silly and mind-blowing we have to say a lot of this cautionary stuff about the property when most everyone absolutely loves it, but some expectations are completely different than others and that’s just how life is and rentals go! It’s a very dynamic, unique property so we really try our best to sort out who would and would not like it out here by saying these things. Thanks
