2 pers, Off Grid on the Costa Maya for Two Weeks! Nov 20 – Dec 04
Mahahual, QR, Mexico
Looking for a reliable animal loving couple who can enjoy a fully off grid, rustic stay in a natural environment.
We prefer a couple who live on the Yucatan peninsula or is traveling through. Arrival by plane has proven to be too complicated for all parties.
Our home lies relatively secluded without neighbors off grid km 6 south, Mahahual on the Costa Maya. (Great break-away opportunity for a couple from Playa del Carmen, Tulum or Bacalar.)
It still is a natural environment with the 2nd largest barrier reef in front and a huge area of mangroves and wet lands behind. As all over the Caribbean, sargassum is also an issue on our beach.
The two of us (no staff) run a small restaurant and an airbnb with 2 rental units. We enjoy our local "wild life" including a big variety of birds, racoons, foxes, opossum, nosebear, lizards, and more plus kayaking straight off the beach, stargazing, cooking etc. You are welcome to use our solar powered restaurant kitchen without microwave/blender or other high powered electrical equipment.
We are happy living with less amenities like air-conditioner, hairdryer, television etc. without roughing it. Proud leaving a smaller footprint. We are fully solar powered plus catch our own rainwater. Therefore we are careful with our limited natural resources.
To make it all run as smooth as possible we like to add a 2 day getting to know each other/the place/pets/questions/instruction time.
You will stay in one of our two rental units with a constant refreshing sea breeze. Fans available if needed. No air-conditioning! All over the property there is WIFI access.
There are different busses and colectivos going and coming to Mahahual. Town is about 5 km north of us. If you have no car we have 2 (reasonable) bicycles you can use.
Tes 9 years old, our main lady! Rubia 7 years, Bullterrier mix we saved from dying of a tick disease leaving her with permanent shakes. Very sweet. Even though she drools she is usually the most loved one by guests. Vecino the lodger/stray, comes for visits to check on his girls. He is a shared responsibility with neighbors down the road. Kit our young playful cat.
Tes, Rubia and Kit sleep inside the main building at night.
We have no fences so the dogs take themselves for a walk. They follow us all over the place and love to join and play when having our happy hour on the beach in the afternoons.
Responsibilities
1. Feed and care for dogs and cat.
2. Pump water to the tanks on the roof if necessary .
3. Watering inside and outside plants and fishpond.
4. Be on the property after sunset and most of daytime.
5. Raking the garden once in a while and collecting plastic off the beach.
