Denis and Carolyn invite you to share our very private, beautifully decorated 2-story, rare corner-penthouse condo located within the Tao Residential Community. We are here in Mexico from November to the end of March and have been doing projects to make our home even more comfortable for us and our guests. New inverter air conditioning units, new Italian furniture on the penthouse terrace and a beautiful bureau in the dining room. A major attraction for us is the gated community offering security and little traffic with no construction noise. Our area is double gated with an entrance off the highway and another gate to enter the residences where we live. We feel completely safe day and night and love going for long walks or bike rides with almost no traffic.
After owning a condo in busy Tulum for sixteen years we are thrilled to now own our new “place in paradise”. While we still enjoy the excitement of Tulum on a day trip, we love the quiet peace and security of the Tao community. Tulum is exciting but very busy.
We are retired teachers and have lived and worked in Jamaica, Puerto Rico, England, Australia, and Canada. We have now found our special place in the sun here in Mexico. Carolyn is a professional artist and many of her original paintings are in the home.
When you rent “Casita Caribe” you are renting from the owners—not a large rental company and you will get personal attention from us and our wonderful manager Darren who lives nearby. Since this is our only holiday home where we spend much of the winter, we do like to know a little about our guests to make sure our place is suitable for you. We do not host parties or event groups. Our home is perfect for sharing with friends, couples, and families.
This luxury condo is elegantly decorated with handmade furniture crafted from the finest local hardwoods, Carolyn's original art, authentic Mayan crafts, and private gardens. The open floor-plan living/dining area comfortably seats 6 and opens out onto a furnished terrace. A rare corner unit with more room to relax.
Details include granite countertops, exquisite Mexican hardwood trim and furnishings, and high-end sunshades and blinds. The condo includes modern remote-controlled AC; a new large flat-screen TV with Roku-TV, good Wi-Fi, a well-appointed kitchen with breakfast bar; and all appliances including a new gas stove, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, air fryer, and washer-dryer. All new ceiling fans were installed in April 2022. Both the master bedroom with a king bed and the guest bedroom with a queen bed have en-suite bathrooms. Both bedrooms have A/C. There is also a new pull-out sofa bed in the living room.
New for 2024, we now have a sleeping loft/ work space with desk and internet on the top terrace area with two individual beds and air conditioning for comfort. There is no bathroom and users will need to use one of the ensuites in the condo on the main floor. Our older grandkids love being away from "the adults" and having their own space!
Our unique rooftop terrace is private and only accessible from the condo. It has fragrant and flowering tropical plants and provides ample outdoor living space. It includes a Jacuzzi, eating areas, an open-air kitchen and bar, and living areas - all with magnificent views of the pristine jungle. Rooftop living offers occupants private sunning, stargazing, and relaxing on the gardened terrace while enjoying Mexico’s gorgeous sunsets. This private rooftop is a magical place for an early morning cup of tea, breakfast, or an evening glass of wine. The top terrace is accessible by interior stairs and children would need adult supervision at all times on the terrace, and in the Jaccuzzi.
This corner unit has expansive views of the sky and jungle.
There is free parking in the very secure, gated, community of Tao which is a wonderful place for morning walks along the clean and well-maintained paths.
The Akumal/Tulum area offers fascinating things to see and do.
Akumal (a 5-minute drive) is home to the protected sea turtles, and you can swim with them at the local beaches. Nearby is world-class snorkeling, diving, and fly fishing; underground cenotes; Mayan ruins; a 1.3 million acre bio reserve; and of course the famous white-sand beaches. There are many area restaurants that offer great authentic fare for very reasonable rates. A list of our favorites is available to you at the condo. This condo is professionally managed You will be provided with a QR code that grants you access to the Tao Residential Community.
The Tao Wellness Centre with a new restaurant is only a five-minute walk away. Enjoy the peace and quiet of this wellness community The wellness community offers you yoga classes, two lap pools, a full spa, a Mayan sweat lodge, and a fitness area for a modest fee.
The Kay Ocean Beach Club at Akumal Bay for Tao residents is a lovely beach club and you can take the free shuttle to it and enjoy the restaurant on the beach. There is no fee to use the beach. Palapas and loungers can be rented if you wish. We usually take our own food and drinks and enjoy the public beach for free.
There are several other beaches that are only a short drive away plus there many nearby beautiful cenotes for great freshwater swimming. The vibrant town of Tulum, with Mayan ruins and its beaches, is only 20 minutes away. After a busy day in Tulum, return to the peaceful setting of the Tao community. On our terraces, you will see and hear birds--not traffic or construction. We love the warm, quiet nights.
Once booked, we will provide you with details about car rentals, easy directions, things to do, and places to explore. Great nearby authentic Mexican villages with family restaurants at non-tourist prices are only a 10 minute drive away. We take a personal interest in our guests to have a great visit while enjoying our home.
We look forward to helping you to have a special visit to the Mayan Riviera.
