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.

The house was very nice well furnished, comfortable furniture , 3 hammocks, nice beach lounges, water was 60 yards from the house on a beautiful uncrowded beach. House staff responded quickly for requests for laundry and supplies. Very quiet and enjoyable.

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.

We were looking for a remote place to stay and have a true getaway from our normal daily lives! We found it in El Cuyo at Tana Papen! Perfect house for tow couples, beach front, comfortable and very clean! The property caretakers, Sara and Gabriel were spectacular and very helpful during our stay! We had a terrific experience and would def recommend.

This property is great! Check in went smooth and we enjoyed our stay. The view is amazing! Everything you need is in the house for you the only thing we were missing was spices in the pantry but you can easily bring your own. We will be staying here again.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the "Butterfly" house. With two young children (3 & 5), our idea of a relaxing vacation is slowing down and enjoying them while they are little. The house offered everything we needed to do that. Some highlights included a boat trip out to the estuary to see the flamingos and the short walk into town for dinner or a trip to the bakery. Mostly, we played in the backyard or on the beach. We will definitely be returning!

Beautiful back patio and rooftop deck. Great location on the beach. Cute house. Nice little town. Water heater breaker kept tripping and this led to cold showers. Have to keep pumping water so you don’t run out. Stove top burner needs replacing.

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.

This house was amazing for accessing the beach - literally out the back door. We had so much fun lounging around, shell collecting on the beach, swimming in the ocean, and watching the kite surfers when the wind picked up. We went with our two kids (8yo and 7yo) and we all had an awesome time - there were so few people out on the beach you literally felt like you had miles of it to yourself. We ended up in El Cuyo on a whim, and so glad we did! Like others said, the internet was spotty - worked fine for the first 2-3 days and then stopped working probably the night that the entire town's electricity went out for a couple of hours. Not a big deal, but if you're relying on it to triage work emails, etc., then make sure to get a roaming plan before you go. Sara and Gabriel were helpful in getting some laundry done, connecting us with a fisherman to take us on a boat ride, and even hooking us up with a machete to cut open coconuts. There is a portable A/C in the downstairs bedroom now, which makes it much more comfortable for sleeping (the upstairs room gets plenty of breeze from the ocean). Definitely recommend doing your shopping in Cancun before coming here. Tizimin is the closest place with a large grocery store if you want anything substatntial. You can find some fresh fruits and vegetables near restaurante Tibaron and apparently restaurante del pato will sell you fresh fish but we never got there. Naia café had great coffee and what looked like delicious breakfast and was just down the road from the house.

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.

We loved the slow pace of El Cuyo and the friendly people. House is super cute and spacious with the beach right at your front door.

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.

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.

Very well located, far enough from the centro that yellow house is the perfect place to enjoy El Cuyo. I attribute 5 stars overall rating because of the amazing service from Sara and Gaby the house managers. For having rented houses many times in El Cuyo and where else in Mexico, this was far away the best service I never had. My only comments would be attributed to some little issues in the kitchen but I’m sure the owner will make sure solving them shortly and the fact the patio of the house on the left side when facing the sea is almost overstepping on to our patio. That house is quite big and can accomodate groups of 8 peoples + There were some noise issues (loud music, late night drinking party on the patio), mostly on weekend when the house gets rented. Overall I will rent that house again knowing I will have to deal with the possibility of having noisy neighbors.

Nous avons adoré séjourner dans cette région du Yucatan : la maison est au bord de l’eau. Elle est équipée simplement mais confortable. La plage est très belle. Le voisinage est calme. El Cuyo est un village authentique, encore protégé du tourisme de masse. Si vous souhaitez visiter la région il faut absolument avoir un véhicule. Sara et Gabriel qui nous ont accueillis sont charmants. Un très beau séjour.

We enjoyed our stay at this home. It is situated right on the beach with a lovely view of the water from the lower patio and the upper balcony. We slept out under the stars on the upper balcony and it was beautiful. The house was clean and convenient. The kitchen was supplied adequately. A number of people have mentioned that town is a 10 minute walk, but I have to disagree. I guess they walk a lot faster than we do, as I would say it's more like 20 minutes or even a little more. And then when you are in town, there is the time walking around if you are going anywhere. We were glad to have a car so we could drive to town when we needed to and walk for pleasure when we wanted. We found plenty of fresh produce at a small produce store on the main street. They also had fresh chicken on occasion. There is also produce available at a number of small stands around town and in the small general stores. There is a meat store that is now on the main square, but the choices were somewhat limited. We got some excellent Chorizo there. They have cheese, although we didn't try it as we had brought ours with us. There are two bakeries with bread and pastries, and lots of tortillerias if you want fresh tortillas. The best dinner restaurant is El Chile Gordo. The meals are prepared by an amazing Chef named Oscar and served by his partner Kathy. Kathy has a website elcuyo dot net which is very helpful. They are open at 4 PM Thursday through Sunday. Go early to get a table. Naia Cafe is the best place for breakfast and lunch. Delicious and fun outdoor setting. We enjoyed the quiet setting for eight of our eleven days. The other three were when neighbors with three barking dogs moved in and were very annoying. Thank goodness they weren't there the whole time, as it would have ruined our stay. The internet was broken for a couple of days, but the managers were helpful and got it fixed, after that it was fine. We used the WiFi at the Naia Cafe while it was out. The owner and the managers were always helpful and available when we needed them. I hope we can come back again, we enjoyed the house, the town, and the ocean. Enjoy! Renee

Lovely modern house in a very quiet village, popular with kite boarders and beach walkers--and a world away from Cancun! Spacious, gracious and cool, the house had fabulous views of the gulf from an upstairs bedroom, and protection from the winds on the lower terrace. Bring wine, coffee and cheeses as desired, but be prepared for fresh local seafood. WiFi was a bit sketchy for our tele-commuting son, but worked fine with some tweaking. We loved it!

Ein richtig ruhiger Fleck. Zwar waren über die Feiertage 2 Großfamilien direkt neben uns, das hatten wir so nicht erwartet, aber nachdem sie weg waren- Ruhe pur und ein erholsamer Urlaub. Die Fotos sind allerdings nicht mehr aktuell. Es ist deutlich enger bebaut, und die Baulücke von der Meerseite rechts ist mit einem sehr großen Haus gefüllt. Das wäre schon gut gewesen, wenn das vorher zu sehen gewesen wäre und auch das Fahrrad gibt es nicht. Aber das tat dem Urlaub keinen Abbruch, wir hatten mit Sara und Gabriele ganz liebenswerte und hilfsbereite Menschen. Auch die Besitzerin hat unsere Fragen jederzeit sehr ausführlich beantwortet. Alles in Allem toll- wir würden wieder kommen!!! Vielen Dank!

We spent ten days in El Cuyo, a nice little fishing village about a 2.5 hour drive from the Cancun airport. Before our trip I had many questions which Yahaira was great about answering in a timely manner. We had a little trouble connecting with the rental caretakers when we first arrived, but that was because our cell phones didn't work. But Sarah and Gabriel showed up about 15 minutes after we arrived and got us settled in. They checked in on us almost daily, and even offered to give us a tour of the town. The house is great! Lots of room and all the cooking utensils we needed and it was very clean. The location is great, especially if you do not want to do the touristy thing. The house is located down a quiet (bumpy) road, and almost every time we swam we had the entire beach to ourselves, as far as we could see. Swim towels are provided for you, as well as towels for your showers, sheets and dish towels (I was impressed that they even provided new bars of soap and a new scrub pad for the kitchen!). The only suggestion I have is that they provide more fans. We had four, but two didn't work very well. I realize that Mexico in July is very hot, but with no air conditioning the downstairs room was very hot at night. We even kept all of the doors and windows open at night but the air just couldn't get back to that room. But other than that, the rental was wonderful and we loved our very comfortable stay. We took some day trips to the ruins and cenotes and enjoyed some of the small quaint local restaurants. The locals were very nice and we had a wonderful vacation.

El Cuyo is a rustic fishing village with friendly people and a welcoming atmosphere. Small, it is quiet, slow moving, and genuinely peaceful. Virtually tourist free, this is the place to be if you want to slow down and relax on a secluded beach. Exactly as advertised, the house is a spacious two bedroom / two bath with an open floor plan. It could comfortably sleep two couples and a few children. Good showers and kitchen, etc. Great second story balcony and first floor patio for ocean views and ocean breezes. Plenty of fans for warm days. The white sand beach is twenty steps from the patio and stretches for something like 20 km. Morning walks and evening sunsets were uninterrupted - we rarely saw another person while wading or swimming. The water is generally calm with mild waves on occasion. It's a ten minute walk into the town - a few small restaurants (La Conchita and TIburon are good) and bodegas for small items. Rent a car to get here - a couple hours from Cancun - then day trips to Rio Lagartos (tour the reserve and see the flamingos), Ek' Balam (less crowded than Chichen Itza and you can climb the ruins), and a variety of nearby cenotes. Yahairia (owner) was easy to get in touch with and easy to work with. Sara (who lives in El Cuyo) was wonderful - she met us at the house with keys, answered questions, and was available should we need anything. Aside from the solitude this place offers, the highlight of our trip was watching a massive sea turtle swim ashore to nest one evening. Truly magical. We only stayed for a week but plan to return for longer - we will definitely come back to Tana Pepem!

There is always a bit of mystery that comes along with renting a place online. When we found the house on the edge of the small village of El Cuyo, we were not only pleased to see that it was on the beach, but also that the shoreline was beautiful. Our family has rented homes on the gulf coast of the Yucatan closer to Progresso, (Chicxulub, Uuymaytin, San Bruno) and the beach at El Cuyo is clearly the finest. You will likely have a car if you got to El Cuyo in the first place, but the drive to town on the sandy road is slow, pleasant, and not very far at all. You could walk along the beach to town in about ten minutes. The house is lovely. It is homey, but well cared for, and the two bedrooms ( one upstairs and the other in the back of the house) offer a lot of space and privacy. The bathrooms are clean and the water is hot; the kitchen is spacious with more than enough utensils, crockery, microwave etc.; the bedrooms have good sheets, blankets, and the towels that are provided are quite nice. There was one standup fan, but perhaps a second fan would make the upstairs bedroom a bit breezier on the hot nights. Yahairia answered our questions quickly on email and her kind and friendly neighbours, Sara and Gabriel, got us set up with our keys, organized a day trip to Isla Holbox with local fisherman, and helped us with a laundry service. We do not speak much Spanish and their English was good enough to help things move smoothly. I would recommend this home to anyone who wants to take it easy for a few days or more. Things are quiet in the house and "El Cuyo" is a friendly and proud town without the trappings of many tourist destinations. The town square was full of families and music each evening. You can walk the beach to the edge of town and it goes on for about 20 km without any development. Clean and no seaweed. The swimming is great. The water isn't too rough or deep ( we saw dolphins in the morning) and the birding in the area is terrific (parrots, falcons, loads of flamingoes). There are two small and simple restaurants in town, but we cooked every night. There is a good bakery ( it opens in the evening, but not in the morning) and every corner seems to have its own stores selling basic goods. For a big grocery shop, head to the supermarkets before hitting the highway. A very nice drive to El Cuyo after leaving the double highway; ranches and villages along the way. Hammocks and surf at the end of the drive. A special place.

Everything went smoothly. The drive from Cancun to El Cuyo is about 3 hrs. Remember that there is a 1 hr time difference between Cancun and the rest of the Yucatan. Load up on groceries at a Walmart or something in Cancun and off you go. The roads are paved all the way to El Cuyo. The house is exactly as advertised. Great view on the ocean, lots of places to hang hammocks, day beds, and chairs to lounge on. The two bedrooms are spacious and there are several options for cots, hammocks, cribs on the available floor space. Fresh bath and beach towels were waiting for us. We were 4 adults and 3 kids and all found places to sleep. The kitchen has most of what you need and the gas stove worked well. Microwave, toaster, blender, coffee maker, fridge/freezer all worked well. The sandy front yard is great for lying around or the kids to play in...like living in a sand box. There are lots of beach toys and a couple of little pools for the kids to use. There are also umbrellas and a sun shelter available. Ceiling fans keep you cool, but the wind did that for us mostly. The beach is truly endless...you'll turn around out of fatigue before you run out of sand. There are no rocks in the water and the water stays shallow for a while (I see why the Kite surfers love this area). Sarah and Gabriel greeted us and showed us the house and recommended some day trips. We went to Ek Balam Mayan ruins (about 2 hrs away) which were great and not nearly as crowded as Chichen Itza. The adjacent cenote is fantastic to swim in. We also drove the bumpy road from El Cuyo to Las Coloradas seeing pink flamingos and secluded beaches along the way. Five minute drive back into town for any shopping or restaurants (Conchita is good, and great for kids since there is a small playground for them to use while you wait for your food) Overall, great stay (only 6 days for us unfortunately). The house has a great calming energy...will stay longer next time. Yahaira is very prompt with communication and details.
