Our condo is special because of its unique location in a low-profile development within a protected "Biosphere" on the blue waters of the Yucatan coast in southern Mexico.

Although our condo is comfortable, what is so wonderful lies beyond: the view, sand, and water; the wildlife, the peace -- and the sense of connection with nature.

We never know what we will see from our breakfast table -- maybe a beach fox, a coatimundi, a Mayan Mot Mot. And if nothing exotic walks by, we are always entertained by at least a dozen hummingbirds or pelicans diving for fish.

We are literally "on the beach", steps away from the (usually) gentle surf. Our beach is one of best on the coast, with fine sand (no rocks) and a gentle slope far out into the water. Wonderful for swimming -- or just bobbing about! The beach itself provides an ever-changing backdrop for hundreds of seashells.

Our living space includes a Great Room (Living, Dining, & Kitchen) and screened full-length porch -- ALL with wonderful views of the ever-changing sea. We often eat dinner in the Central Atrium (open air, but also screened); there are 2 bedrooms & 2 baths. The Master bed/ bath has a comfortable King bed; the second bedroom has 2 twins. A child could seep on a single "put-up bed".

Because of our precise location, we are treated to incredible sunsets at least half of the year. We are generally out of the path of tropical storms, and although summers are hot, we are cooled by the sea breezes -- and three air conditioners, if the breezes fail.

Our development is rather isolated, and you won't run into a lot of people on the beach. It's a place for nature-lovers and adventurers. We are 5 km. on a dirt road from the small village of Celestun. Here you can buy basic supplies and enjoy a variety of village restaurants, as well as take boat tours to see thousands of pink flamingos (in season) and launches through the mangroves to see countless birds and mammals most any time of year.

Because of our isolated location, renting a car is advised. However, transportation from the city of Merida (a couple of hours away) can be arranged, and several of the condo owners get by fine without cars.
