Xcalak House | The Best Location and House in Xcalak!

4 Bedroom House in Xcalak

Combine the most gracious and spacious beach home in the best location in Xcalak with the gorgeous Caribbean Sea and the second longest Coral Reef in the world in the back yard, and you have the formula for a truly amazing and relaxing get-away vacation. The marine area was recently designated a National Reef Park ensuring future protection.
Casa de Paloma – House of the Dove – was aptly named. Early risers wake every morning to the soft cooing of the birds and a spectacular sunrise that changes every day. A huge clay dove planter is a landmark that nests in our circle drive. What we did not know then, is what a place of peace and calm Xcalak really is. A place to recharge, relax, slow down and smile. We invite you to enjoy Casa de Paloma...in Xcalak...on the Costa Maya...in the state of Quintana Roo...on the Yucatan Peninsula!
Built in 2004, Casa de Paloma was designed for relaxed beach living and to capture every ocean breeze. Every room has a sea view. We enjoy our time there each year with our family and friends and pride ourselves in keeping it attractive, clean and comfortable for ourselves as well as our guests year round.
There are 4 King size bedrooms (2 down, 2 up) each with 2 bedside reading lamps, double closet and their own private bathroom. Both levels have a complete dining, living and full kitchen area. Mexican accents include rugs, blankets, pillows, Talevera sinks, dishes and glasses. Framed maps of the area hang on the walls and are helpful when planning excursions. Our handsome Mexican hardwood furniture is sturdy and comfortable and was built by craftsmen in a local sawmill/carpentry shop.
Rental options include the entire house to sleep 8 or half the house to sleep 4. A single brm or single brm w/kitchen/living/dining are also available. The unique design of the casa makes it a perfect flexible unit to rent as a whole or in parts. Contact us for details on renting just one level of the house. Rentals are available for a three day minimum up to several months.
The house is beautifully landscaped with bougainvillea, frangi pangi, hibiscus, and coconut palms and has large balconies, hammocks and lots of sea breezes and mature palm trees to keep you cool and in the shade.
Our green construction of solid masonry includes solar panels for electricity along with our generator, on-demand water heaters for ready hot water and a rainwater cistern for bathing, laundry and dishwashing.
And, best of all, it all comes with ROSA AND CECILIO, THE MOST WONDERFUL CARETAKERS ON THE YUCATAN PENINSULA! Excellent employees and problem solvers, they are our secret ingredient in guaranteeing a truly relaxing get-away with few concerns. Laundry, house maintenance, all paper products as well as daily beach cleaning are included in your rental.
Our location in Xcalak is the best for several reasons. Just 1.5 miles to town makes it a nice walk or easy flat bike ride for groceries or exercise – or to visit the school or the park office – or to get a pedicure from Candy in her pink and purple “salon” – or to get to a great meal. The dining in Xcalak is one of the biggest surprises of all. As small and remote as we are, the area continues to attract outstanding inventive chefs who are looking to slow down their pace of life and still practice their craft with local ingredients. Casa de Paloma is very close to the three perennial best:
Leaky Palapa - always amazing 5 star gourmet dinner creativity. (1mi.)
Costa de Coco’s - fish tacos, and lobster pizza (1/4 mi.)
Tierra Maya - local tasty dishes from soup to dessert (3 doors away)
Toby’s - in town with excellent fish fingers and conch/ shrimp ceviche and hosts special events like Super Bowl and Chicken Night.
New ventures appear yearly.
FYI for your own cooking, the venderos (small grocery trucks) deliver fresh produce and hot tortillas right to your door several times a week. There are also some small tiendas in town with an amazing amount of staples. Ask our caretakers about the bakery and the local fishing co-op and possible tamale and shrimp deliveries.
Xcalak is heaven for fishermen/women, snorkelers, divers and birdwatchers. Snorkel and fish right off the dock for snapper and bonefish and swim to numerous nearby coral heads to see Angelfish, Clownfish, Puffers Snappers, etc. etc.
Or charter one of our incredibly knowledgeable local fishing captains (Capt. Victor is our favorite…and he has brothers and sons!) for a day in their boat to go a little farther for tarpon, barracuda, permit, snook or bonefish in the flats of Chetumal Bay. Scuba divers will find several dive masters ready to certify or guide to outstanding nearby locations on day trips including Chinchorra Reef, the largest diving atoll in North America, just 30 miles off shore. For birdwatchers, there is Bird Island with the hefty Woodstork, but everyday you can see Frigate Birds, Yucatan Jays, Baltimore Orioles, Goldfinch, Pelicans, Egrets, Ibis, Parrots, Frigate Birds, Doves right around Casa de Paloma.
So – why decide to choose Casa de Paloma?
• Accommodations – comfortable, attractive, spacious, well-designed and maintained.
• Location - close access to town, restaurants - between well known Coco's and Tierra Maya resorts
• Rosa and Cecilio – the best caretakers on the Costa Maya – helpful, considerate, honest, polite

Summary: We stayed in Casa de Paloma for eight nights, albeit one was very short. We spent seven days fishing with Osprey Tours and had a great time. Because of the long days fishing, we did not take advantage of many of the amenities like the kayaks and bikes. The highlight of the visit was the Friday night meal we requested from Rosa and Cecilio, it was awesome. When I return to Xcalak, I will be staying at Casa de Paloma.

Summary: Before our stay, we were treated to great communication and making arrangements with one of the house owners, Tom. Tom and his wife were very responsive and accommodating when our plans changed. It was great to work with them prior to our arrival which isn't always the case when planning to rent a home. Thanks Tom!!!! We stayed at the Casa de Paloma for five nights. Our primary focus was fishing which made for very long days on the water and away from the house. Each day when we returned to the house, it was amazing to return to a clean casa and be able to cool down with a refreshing beverage then head our for dinner. The location of the house is perfect as our fishing guide, Jose with Jose Xcalak Tours, would pick us up and drop us off at the house every date. We were close enough to town to make it easy to have dinner in town every night. The house itself if beautiful, well cared for, clean, and has everything you need. In fact, the house may have more than what you need as the furnishings seemed a little grand for the size of the house but you defiantly won't go without during your visit. The true blessing of the house was the caretaker, Rosa. She cleaned the house everyday while we were gone fishing and even did our dishes - heaven!!!!! Rent this house and you won't be disappointed and most likely will not want to leave.

Summary: We spent five nights at Casa de Paloma and loved everyone of them. The property is very clean and cared for. The property caretakers were on hand to help with anything that we needed and very nice. The location was postcard perfect. We loved the time spent on our little beach and snorkeling right out the front door. We had the joy of swimming with numerous fish and sting ray. Our fishing/snorkeling guide Victor was fantastic and the kids hauled in so many fish that fishing was not boring. We ate at a few restaurants, bought fruit and cakes from the trucks that drive right to your door. We saw a manatee in the mangroves and birds on bird island. Lots of outdoor activities to keep you busy. A good selection of restaurants. The people are super pleasant. We thought the road to the Xcalak would be undeveloped but it was a great narrow highway the entire way and no problems at all. The house is located just outside of town so it was quiet but with easy access to town amenities. We hope to return one day soon.

Summary: I was a little worried about the place since it seemed so far away but all of those worries rapidly faded away as soon as we pulled into the driveway. There was relaxation as well as snorkeling and a trip to Belize. We didn't have enough time to partake in the extreme beach sports Belize had to offer, but there are plenty. Not one bite of food during the entire week I spent in the area was anything less than delicious. The small local restaurants are a must visit both for their food and tequila. I would more than gladly take another trip to Casa de Peloma. Make sure you stop in Tulum on your way down. A tour guide is more than worth the money.

Summary: Casa de Paloma turned out to be better than anticipated--the place is simply EXCELLENT! If you enjoy peace and quiet and a beautiful sea, Casa de Paloma is your place. The people are friendly, the restaurants are great, and the workers are accommodating. Fishing has no limits-ocean, bay, mangrove, up river-any kind you would want. And it all promises to be excellent. I would do this again and again.

Summary: Casa de Paloma is exactly as advertised. A peaceful quiet location with a comfortable home. Nearby restaurants are excellent or stay in and prepare your own meals in a fully equipped kitchen. The home is well maintained and caretakers are nearby if any assistance is needed. Although not an avid outdoorsman the fishing was excellent and the sea wonderful. Visited with long time friends and had an excellent time. The beauty of Mexico without the hustle and bustle of Cancun and Playa. Highly recommend.

Summary: Casa Paloma is a truly beautiful property, which is extremely well maintained. It has all one may think of at home (dvd, cd player, fully equipped kitchen, immaculate bathrooms), plus the most magical views of the Caribbean. Xcalak feels remote and is indeed a perfect place to disconnect from all. The sea is just amazing and feels like the private swimming pool of Casa Paloma....The house is very well located, close enough to town, close to diving activities, close to restaurants if lazy to cook at home. The caretakers are wonderful people, who make sure everything is in order during the stay. The owners are very responsive and make any logistics so easy to coordinate. Thank you Casa Paloma for an unforgettable experience, we will definitely be back soon!

Summary: Coming from England I wasn't sure if my money would be safe, but everything has worked out very well and I have even been reimbursed for a few things I bought for the house. I think I can say you are in safe hands with Tom. The description is accurate and the house clean and well kept. The house is beautiful and well maintained and the caretakers are lovely and hard working. The place is beautiful and you have your own beach and sea. The house is quiet and out of town, but not isolated. The kitchen is fine by Mexican standards and better than most locally, but this is Mexico not the US. We have baked cakes, made bread and cooked up some splendid meals and there are plenty of sharp knives, frying pans and now even bread and pie tins, so no complaints there. By english standards I would say rental kitchens in the US tend to be poor, but by US standards I would say this is at the top end. There are two kitchens, one up and one down! Each bedroom has its own shower and toilet. Transport is useful to get to the Leaky Palapa for dinners which are excellent and run by two Canadian women. It is as much social club as bar and restaurant. Diving is great at Xcalac dive shop, I can't vouch for the others as I haven't tried them.. Food comes to the house 3 times a week by truck. Vegetables and basics are either available from the truck or in the shops in town. Real coffee is not on sale nor is meat, although chickens are good and there is fish and lobster galore. Bring other stuff from a supermarket at Carillo Puerto or in Cancun or Playa del Carmen. I believe Rosy will cook for you, if asked and paid. She asked me if I needed washing done, for free! Don't forget to tip her when you leave if you think she has done a good job. I can't think of anything wrong to say about the place, even the price is good! So if you fancy a quiet holiday on the Carribean in a simple Mexican Town and you like diving or fishing... I can't see why you wouldn't come here it is apparently as good or better than the competition in Xcalac. Xcalac is at the end of the world and quite basic, Cancun it ain't! No TV. No Phones cell or otherwise!!! but on the other hand there is internet most of the time in the house. I recommend it.

Summary: My friend and I just returned from staying at this house for the week. It met all our expectations and then some. We had the upper level and our bedrooms were on opposite ends so we had our privacy. We even had our own balconies. The caretakers house is directly across the quiet dirt road and are very willing to help. They keep the property and the rooms very clean. Though their English is limited we had someone near who could help with translations a couple of times. We had considered a couple of other places but we are glad we picked this place as it is very attractive and has a homey feeling unlike some that are very stark. We also like the small town; it might not be for everyone but if you want to relax you can easily do it there. We went swimming and snorkeling every day and read several books. It was heaven. People say Mexico in unsafe to travel but I did not feel in danger or insecure. We just used common sense, On the drive down from Cancun (where we spent the first night) we saw lots of military along the road doing some random checks and they are even seen occasionally on the road in Xcalak but we were told they are looking for drugs being smuggled in - there was never ever any sense of a gang presence. I felt secure with them they (and they seemed very bored!). And 99.9% of the local people were very friendly which is always a plus. We also met nice people on vacation; Canada, Ireland, the U.S. I am already thinking about going back....

Summary: We concur with the statements of the previous reviewers. This villa is incredibly well designed and equally well maintained, perfect for two couples traveling together in that each of us has our own private bedroom/bath with wonderfully comfortable king-sized bed. Rosa and Cecilio were delightful, and we were doubly lucky to be here at the same time as owner Tom, a most gracious and generous host. Highlights--in addition to taking Tom's ocean kayaks out to the reef, snorkeling off the dock, and feasting at Leaky Palapa--included buying lobster and fish fresh off the boat at the village beach in the mid-afternoon. We do recommend that you follow the advice of Tom and our fellow travelers, in that you stop at a supermarket in one fhe last large towns before you set out on the long, straight, smooth road to Xcalak. Be sure to pick up butter, cheese, milk, salsa, chips and other staples and then hurry on to Casa Paloma. The hot fresh tortillas, delivered via motorbike, are not to be missed!
