Casa De Cocos: A Private Beachfront House at own secluded oasis on Gulf of MX

Stunning views and quiet

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was everything we wanted in a getaway: quiet, private, and on the beach.The house was well-equipped.

House is right on the beach, very quiet, relaxing and private. The pool is convenient for a morning or late evening swim. Big kitchen, nice patio and all facilities required for a comfortable stay.

We stayed for 5 days and really enjoyed this place

Our stay at this property got off to a rocky start before we got there. After booking months in advance for 9 nights, we were informed by the owner/property manager(?) a month before check in that 3 of our nights were no longer available. We spent HOURS searching for a new place for the 3 nights. While the owner did provide some compensation, which was nice, the hassle of moving in the middle of our trip plus the extra cost of booking a new place a month out did not equal out. Once we were there... Pros: - Awesome location. Very private. We loved being on the beach but set back a bit. Great pool and views. Telchac Puerto is a cool little town just a few min drive away. - Nice space. The layout of the house worked well for our group of 2 parents, 3 kids (6.6.9) and a grandpa. - Communication with the owner and local property manager was prompt and professional (other than changing our dates!) - We felt safe in the house and in the area. Cons: - The house needs updating. There was a giant rip in one of the lounge chairs by the pool. Multiple pieces of window hardware fell off. Bedding left a lot to be desired. - It was not well equipped for our stay. We had to buy our own trash bags, paper towels, etc. - The master bedroom has a weird sound issue when it's windy, which was often. Nothing the owners can do about that but it was unpleasant and hard to sleep. Overall, loved the location and pool but wouldn't book here again.

First, the many positives others have already touched on: Lovely, peaceful setting RIGHT ON THE BEACH, clean and huge house with fantastic kitchen and excellent amenities, proactive host, excellent beds with clean sheets, all appliances worked. Really, it was a lot of little things that added up to my removing a half to 1 star - I speak with almost 20 years experience staying at VRBOs all over the world, and I'm trying to just offer a few friendly tips for the host as well as future guests. What would get this to 5 stars: 1. Accurate location coordinates. There were plenty of photos and descriptions, but when coming given the postal address is useless for navigation, an actual GPS cordinates would be excellent, especially if arriving at night like we did. For future reference, it is: (21.3415540, -89.283169) in Google Maps. 2. There are literally no condiments of any kind. I understand no one expects a fully stocked kitchen, but to earn 5 stars, many of the best at least start you off on the basics - salt and pepper, a bit of oil, small stuff. There is literally nothing to even get eggs going the next morning. 3. There are no paper goods. 4. Cleaning supplies like detergent or soap, or basic bath accessories are non existent. 5. The hot water did not work when we arrived. Only after a day we called the local super Mauricio, who did fix it, after which it worked great. 6. A set of clear instructions on how things worked from keys to washing machine etc. would be SUPER helpful.

We really enjoyed this place for our 8 day stay. The house was ideally located on a beautiful beach, and close to the charming Telchac Puerto. Each day we went on an adventure exploring nearby archeological sites, cenotes, and reserves including the one near Dzilam de Bravo. We also enjoyed seeing nearby Flamingo colonies. After our daily adventure we would unwind on the back patio by the beautiful pool with a view and breeze from the beach. Every night at 6:30 we joined others on the beach to watch the beautiful sunset. The house was large for our needs as we were only two, and would be comfortable for up to 6, but it met our needs perfectly. Communication with Dagmar and Mauricio (the manager) was excellent. We initially did have trouble locating the place as the address on the listing conflicted directions given, but Mauricio guided us in by text. For the most part the house was very clean when we arrived, but some of shelves in the kitchen area were dusty and would benefit from a deep clean. Personnel arrived to clean the pool, the grounds, and pick up garbage somewhat regularly which we appreciated. As per the agreement, we knew we would be charged for electricity. Thus, we really conserved by using the AC in our room only at night. The charge only came to about 50 USD, but would have been a lot higher with a full house. We fell in love with Telchac Puerto. We will likely be back and would be happy to stay at Casa de Cocos especially if we have others with us.

We had our second stay in this beautiful house that was recently remodeled. The house is modern, very roomy and confortable. The large garden is nice and the new pool beautiful. And then, at the end of the garden, the ocean…The breeze in the palm trees, the sun, the peace and quietness…all this contributes to creating very nice memories. Travelers have to be aware though that the area is extremely quiet. If you look for quality time and peace in family or in a group, you found the right place. If your idea of vacations is noisy parties, cheap booze flowing, people screaming, then you might not fully appreciate this lovely place.

We’ve stayed at several beach homes in this wonderful area and this one tops the list. Modern, comfortable house fully stocked and gorgeous pool and property. Dagmar was always prompt with replies and pleasant to communicate with. The location is outstanding. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to spend our vacation. We will definitely return.

Thanks to great communication from the property owner and manager we found the place just fine, and found it quite clean. The pool and patio with the fabulous views facing the beach are the stars of this place. It was great to birdwatch while in the pool, play games poolside with friends, and head down to the beach to collect shells at sunrise and sunset. We saw only a few other people around, and heard a couple neighbors, but everyone seemed friendly and laid-back. There was some sargassum on the beach from previous storms before we arrived, but nowhere near the volume we encountered on the east shore in Puerto Morelos and it seemed to be clearing up towards the end of our stay. We didn't swim, but saw others doing so, and walking down the beach was fine. There was very little trash compared to other beaches we've visited in our travels. The house itself fit our party of six well, and felt safe and secure. The upstairs bedrooms opening to the balconies were very nice, and the everything was well maintained. You'll need to bring paper products, trash bags and spices, because no extras are provided, but finding those things in town is not challenging. We were able to make do just fine with the assortment of kitchen supplies they had on hand. Having a good washing machine and clothesline was a convenient bonus. It's easy to get into the center of Telchac Puerto for a bite to eat or to visit the pier,and Merida is an easy 45 minute drive. We really enjoyed visits to Xcambo and a nearby mangrove tour. We saw more flamingos than tourists, so I would take the Casa de Cocos experience over a resort anytime!
