Tulum Townhome for Rent: New townhouse in the heart of Tulum Mexico-- with pool--free internet - Property 228174

Location: You will love Tulum. Although it is slowly going somewhat up-market, it still is the real Mexico. Just step off the main street to find all sorts of little shops. The people are friendly and helpful. There are many restaurants to suit every budget and they provide an easy alternative to preparing meals at home. Taxis range from about $3 inside the town limits to about $5 to $10 to the beaches. We have traveled to many countries and the Tulum beaches are some of the best we have ever encountered. Truly magical! In the town there are many, many Internet cafes for cheap email, and long distance calls home. We now have wireless internet at the home for your use. There is a good large supermarket a five minute drive away. Cars on the Internet rent for about $25 a day with the required insurance included. Although not necessary, a car does make it easier to explore all the different beaches and ruins. We have private off-street parking.

Our Home in Tulum: Although simple, you will find our home very comfortable and charming. You will enjoy Carolyn's paintings and our other art. We do have a TV/DVD but at the moment there is no cable service for T.V. available --so we enjoy good books rented movies, and conversation with our family and friends. We usually use the ceiling fans but air conditioning is available in the house as well. There are individual units in the bedrooms and the downstairs living and kitchen area. All cooking utensils, and some basic cooking and baking needs are in the house Towels, and linens are supplied. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need--even a crock pot so you can have a meal ready after a day at the beach. We have good appliances in the kitchen and a washer and dryer behind cabinet doors.

Beaches, Cenotes, Mayan culture: Most guests to this area come for the beaches, the cenote swimming and scuba diving, and the incredible history of the Mayans. The workers who built our little complex all spoke Mayan as their first language. There are many ruins nearby and even more within an hour or two of driving. We highly recommend a day trip to Coba and/or Merida, the old colonial capital of the Yucatan. You will will find lots of helpful notes in our guest book which is in the house. We are very happy to help you plan your vacation with hints and advice. We usually stay at our home for two or three months a year and love the area. Tulum is easy to get to from the Cancun airport with the new four-lane highway, either by rental car or public bus (about $12 each way). We look forward to sharing our home with you, your family, and friends.

Other Activities: kite boarding, cenotes, many Mayan ruins, miles of uncrowded beaches
