Beach House Vacation Rental
Isla Holbox, Atlantic Ocean - Quintana Roo, Mexico
Description
| Our 3 Bedroom, 2 bath with a living/dining room, kitchen (with refrigerator and stove/oven, AC, TV, DVD) and front porch sits right on the beach. We do not have a phone in the house as US based cell carrier neworks now work on Holbox.
This beachfront home can comfortably sleep 8 - 10 (2 king sized beds in 2 of the bedrooms, 2 twins and a bunk in the other room plus 2 floor pads for sleeping bags). We have a lovely couple who take care of Casa Blanca. She is the manager of a beautiful local hotel and he takes care of the property itself.

| Amenities
| Walls are white plaster and floors are terra cotta tile. You simply can not get more privacy or get closer to the beach and the beautiful Caribbean Ocean than in this well maintained private home.
3 Bedrooms (2 with king size beds) are as follows:
The First Floor has a small private room. Very quiet with one king sized bed. Also has hammock if you prefer!
On the Second Floor you will find 2 bedrooms that share one bath. The first one is a large master suite with views of the water and a back porch with views looking to the West. There are 2 twin beds in the room as well as a bunk bed and a pull out couch. The second room is smaller but with a king sized bed. Both are in excellent shape with terra cotta floors, ceiling fans and large screened windows.
Linens and towels are in the house but feel free to bring your own as well.
Bathrooms
Both bathrooms have terra cotta floors with a single sink, commode and stand up shower. The toilet in the downstairs bath has just been replaced and the septic recently pumped.
The kitchen has a new refrigerator, new stove, a sink with running well water and plenty of counter space. There is a coffee maker, toaster, blender (of course!) as well as kitchen utensils and pots and pans – not a ton of them but enough to work with. (sometimes things disappear, which is unfortunate! No blender on our last visit was a bummer. We do our best to keep the house stocked) There are also cooking knives and plenty of cabinet space. The kitchen has a water dispenser and the homes caretaker can get you water delivered directly to the house.
The house has glasses, silverware and plates to serve 10 guests.
Air conditioning units were added to the kitchen/living room/dining room area and all bedrooms very recently. Coupled with the ceiling fan this keeps the area comfortable on warm evenings. We request limiting the use of the AC units as electricity is very expensive and is actually generated on the island!
Like adding another room to the house, the front porch is where we spend so much of our time. The porch has beautiful views of both the beach and the sea. We have 2 plastic tables and many chairs that can be easily moved throughout the porch or house. There is also a hammock as well as a hammock swing for you to relax in. There is nothing better than a little siesta in the hammock following a day of fishing and a few cold cervesas like another room in the house, the front porch has beautiful views of the beach and the sea.
Play cards, dominos or just enjoy the view from one of the house's crown jewels!
| Policies
| Have fun! The island is very remote by US standards. There is no dentist, no full time doctor, no bank, no ATM machine, no movie theater, library, traditional shopping center or major supermarket and that is just how we like it!
Before deciding to visit Holbox, we strongly recommend you prepare to change cultures and embrace the rustic but lovely way of life. For fishermen used to this type of trip, you will find Holbox to be an amazing place where the fishing is very productive. We began visiting to fish and have now bought a home, bringing our families and take vacations there regularly.
The only 'property policies' are to take good care of our home and respect the lovely people that live on Holbox. These are our friends and we love them!
