Beachfront House in Quaint Fishing Village - private beach!
Tana Pepem, or 'House of Butterflies' in Mayan, is a spacious beachfront house ideal for families or friends wanting to relax and enjoy nature. Only 2.5 hours from Cancun, it is easily accessible from its international airport. Perfect for long meals, beach walks, shell seeking, bird watching, and dreamy sunsets. We are taking extra cleaning and disinfecting precautions for you to have a safe stay.
El Cuyo is a small, non-touristic fishing village in the uppermost tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, within the natural reserve of Río Lagartos, close to several Mayan ruins, cenotes and colonial towns. We recommend renting a car in order to tour the area and feel the culture. It is a very safe and quiet town that allows visitors to witness and live rural Mexico. All restaurants serve local cuisine, seafood being the specialty!
The house is built so that all rooms have a view of the ocean. Kitchen and living room look out to the outdoor beachfront terrace equipped with lounge bed and hammocks. The downstairs bedroom is in the back, but built on a higher level with indoor ocean view windows. Upstairs bedroom is completely private with its own oversized terrace with lounge bed, dressing room and bathroom.
There are many fun activities at El Cuyo, including swimming, kite surfing, tours to see flamingos, salines, shark-whales (July to Sept), fishing, ATV rentals, and many other outdoor activities.

Fantastic view of the ocean
The property was exactly what I was hoping for. More than enough space, beautiful view, and nicely isolated.

Great stay
Very accommodating home rental with easy accessible path to beach. Inside is as listed. Could use some deep cleaning and replacement of the beach lounger and umbrella. Luckily there were other beach chairs available. Dining table was especially nice , it was well made and light to carry in and out the large barn doors to the outdoor patio. Plenty of shade and sun based on your preference. Recommendations to the owner: small table and chairs in the upstairs bedroom for guests to take out onto porch. I understand with the winds these cannot stay outdoors. Bottom line, wonder location! Easy walk into town and to the pier. Would recommend and stay again.

Beautiful stay in El Cuyo
We so enjoyed our stay in El Cuyo. The house was just as described and in walking distance to several places to eat. We enjoyed our coffee on the patio and our walks on the beach. We will be back ! Thank you for your beautiful home in this magical town.

Great beach location
We enjoyed our stay very much, and the location on the beach is outstanding if you like a wide expanse of comfortable beach mostly to yourself. We had come from Puerto Morelos which is also known for good beaches, but not only was El Cuyo much more private, the beach itself was much better for walking and swimming. There were a few negatives. The air conditioning is in bedrooms only, but there was usually a strong breeze though the house so it remained mostly comfortable in the living room and kitchen in February. The house next door is very close, so if you happen to have loud neighbors (during our stay this was not a problem) you will be bothered. And the road to town is in horrible condition. It is a bit less than a mile into town so it can be walked, but if you drive you will not be moving much faster than walkers due to constant potholes. But overall a very nice stay.

The location is great. Right on the beach and an easy walk to town.
The house is cute and we love the upper deck facing the ocean. Also the lower patio is nice with hammocks and the day bed. Yahaira, the owner answered all of our questions and made sure that Sara (the rental manager) was available to address any house issues. We did loose power several times during our stay which affected our water supply but Sara had somebody come to fix the problem. Other then that we had a wonderful stay.

Beauty and tranquility
Our small family had an amazing week in El Cuyo! From the beginning we felt well received and relaxed... Yahaira was very responsive, providing timely answers to our many questions. The house is clean and modest, with a basic kitchen. The highlight is the big doors in the living room and upstairs bedroom that open onto a surreal beach view! The beach, town are beautiful and charming. Lots to discover if you take your time and poke around. We made day trips to Ek Balam (and cenote) and Holbox. A very special place where we now have fond family memories.
