Tulum beachfront 20min from hotel zone<br>Housekeeping-amazing food

COVID FREE - NOT JUST ANY BEACH... THE STUNNING VIRGIN BEACH OF THE SIAN KA'AN BIO-SPHERE RESERVE: TULUM'S AND QUINTANA ROO'S MOST UNIQUE, UNSPOILED AND EXCLUSIVE DESTINATION.

Escape the crowds in a luxury, newly re-modeled, eco-chic beachfront villa located in the stunning Sian Ka'an bio-sphere nature reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Set on a breathtaking private beach with pristine fine white sand and warm clear turquoise Caribbean ocean; amid lush tropical vegetation; and flanked to the west by the beautiful blue Campechen lagoon. The world's second largest barrier reef is just offshore.

LOCATION
Perfectly situated only 6km (4 miles) into the Sian Ka'an bio-sphere reserve - far away enough to feel like a secluded tropical paradise escape, yet close enough to Tulum's relaxed bohemian chic beach zone where boutiques, cafes, Riviera Maya's best restaurants, and cold-press juices are only a 10-15 minute drive away, which attracts at thoughtful traveller. This private community is accessible via the arch at the top of Tulum's beach strip.

LIVING SPACES
The house has separate areas indoors and outdoors where one can relax, read, sunbathe and dine.

Relax, curl up and read a book under the brand new adjoining INDOOR/OUTDOOR BEACH DECK LOUNGE AND DINING ROOM (with palapa roof) while listening to the ocean or watch friends light up the BBQ. Make the most of morning tranquility with a rooftop yoga or meditation session on our newly appointed YOGA DECK. Have lunch brought to you while relaxing under the GAZEBO ON THE BEACH or on the villa's NEW SUNBATHING DECK situated on a dune overlooking the ocean (great location for evening meals!). Take cover and enjoy an afternoon merienda in the NEW STANDALONE COVERED BEACH DINING PATIO. Indulge with a sunset cocktail on the ROOFTOP TERRACE with its adjoining yoga deck with 360 degree views of jungle, lagoon and Caribbean; with its wildlife such as pelicans diving into the crystal clear ocean, frigates gliding overhead, herons, egrets, manatees, sea turtles, and even an occasional spider monkey.

Get away from it all!
The owner, Jesse, was incredibly proactive with sharing info ahead of time and responsive when the need arose. I really appreciated him!! As others have mentioned, the house caretakers Chucho and Chari are incredible. Highly recommend eating all meals at the house! The decor and layout of the house are just gorgeous and we enjoyed all the decks and palapas. My only important tip is that if you are there in the Fall (like we were) the road to the house is very challenging. We saw multiple cars enter the Reserve and then turnaround because of it. So don’t plan on a lot of back and forth to town at this time of year. All reports from locals suggest that this is the time of year where it is a real issue so spring break and summer travelers should be better off!

Fantastic property
I really needed to decompress. I did a lot of searching for the ideal place. I wanted something fairly private and isolated but not too far away from civilization. This was it! The property is fantastic, I especially loved the upstairs terrace. I was there the first 2 weeks of March. There was miles of beach to walk. The beach was clean and well maintained. There was little seaweed. The last couple days I was there there was some in the water. Chucho and Chari took great care of me. I did not have to go into town at all if I didn't want. My only regret is that I could not spend the rest of my life there.

Casa de los Pelicanos - Wonderful family vacation
Perfect location just inside the Sian Ka’an reserve south of Tulum and the Tulum strip. Arrangement and booking was easy and plenty of info from the owner. Easy drive from Cancun passing through Tulum where you can stock up at the local Chedurai supermarket, pass through the Tulum strip with some great restaurants and into the reserve. Three generations and 9 of us spent the Christmas vacation and it could not have been better. Weather was fantastic, beaches unbelievable and the house was perfect with beautiful furnishings and plenty of room inside and out. The on-site staff looked after many of our culinary needs and cooked some wonderful meals, kept the house tidy and provided endless supply of beach towels. Enjoyed fishing and snorkeling trips as well as snorkeling and diving in the cenotes. Perfect place to watch sunrise over the sea and sunset over the lagoon and the stars at night!

Check for seaweed first...If no seaweed at all, I would give a 5 stars review...
To be honest, this is one of the more difficult reviews to write. The house is beautiful, isolated, but really well equipped. Housekeepers are the most valuable point, by far...(unfortunately, Chucho's car was stolen in the area a few days before we arrived, so we needed to drive for groceries most of the time) The owner is always reachable and friendly, and the property manager too. Our experience... The seaweed was present from day one until the end of the stay (9 days). And let me tell you this, its not just "some seaweed"... its a lot ! If you are the unlucky guy that have to experience this, forget about the wonderful pictures you see in the website and try to find some other beach to stay for vacations. Again, this has nothing to do with the house, or the owners but....be aware...really aware...if you book really in advance, you will take a risk. This house is paradise but only if the ocean stays as you see in the pictures, because if the Sargassum is present...any other place will be better for you. Think that this guy, Chucho, spent more than 3 hours a day trying to clean the beach...which is impossible... I have some photos I'd like to share with anyone interested. I want to also say that the owner (he was not obligated to do it) gave us a kind of compensation (equivalent to less than one night of the 9 nights we stayed) but we could not agree as this is kind of legal interpretation vs common sense. Anyway, no hard feelings. Conclusion: The house is awesome and if Mother Nature is with you, you will have a blast, you will experience real paradise (try to avoid the hottest season) and have fun at the beach...If you see seaweed is present, avoid the area, save some money and postpone the trip. May be its just a bad season and the cristal clear waters are now back again and will stay most of the time ..who knows the global warming effect, right?

Great stay, everything as described
We had a wonderful vacation, loved the property, enjoyed the quiet. Views from the roof were terrific. Saw very few other people on the beach. Was windy for several of the days of our visit, which resulted in quite a bit of seaweed on the beach, but the caretaker and his nephew worked hard to clear it each day. Cooking was straightforward, fresh and good. All in all, a very relaxing break, in a great property and fabulous location.

House is impeccable and beautiful
We just came back from Casa de los Pelícanos. The place is absolutely beautiful. Alan and Valorie have decorated the place with such great taste and dedication. Each detail makes the house perfect. Chari and Chucho keep the house very well maintained and extremely clean, and they cook delicious food. From the roof of the house you have the ocean to the east, and a lagoon to the west, all in the same place, amazing. The beach is long and empty, nature at its best, nothing but different colors of blue ocean and white powdery sand. We took a night walk on the beach and saw two turtles laying their eggs (we were lucky enough to meet two men hired by Flora and Fauna that knew absolutely all the details about the turtles that come to this beach, and what can and can't be done when you see them come out of the sea or laying their eggs, so it was a like a private tour...). How incredible is that. The only thing we would recommend is to stock up on food and drinks, because the next grocery store is about 30-40 minutes away (the road to the house is not paved, since it is in the Sian Ka'an Biosphere (in Maya this means door to heaven, which is kind of true...) a protected natural reserve, which makes it the unique place it is). If you are thinking about resting and absorbing nature this is the place to be.

Fantastic vacation with family
My husband and I invited our three sons and one daugther-in-law to spend a week of family time here in Tulum. We absolutely loved the villa. We opened the door and were impressed with the spaciousness and openness of the living area, dining, and kitchen. Perfect for a big group. The indooor furniture was comfy. Our family loves to be outdoors so we loved the covered deck. It had a dining table, another table, and a variety of seating options including Adirondeck chairs, sofas, and chaisses. There are some special lighting options indoors and out. There was no need for air conditioning except for the downstairs room. The fans and wind made for comfortable tropical temps. The bedrooms were equipped with lots of closet /storage space, excellent lines and mattresses,and views, The view from our shower was incredible---a palm tree and ocean or looking the other way, a deserted beach. Shampoo and soap provided. Each bedroom was private and if one family member got up early, the others didn't hear a sound. The road is close to the house. At night, i estimate two or three vehicles passed by between ten and six. Birds will start chirping at six am prividng a natural alarm clock. Beach: gorgeous. The water is warm, sometimes with waves, sometimes calm. Most days, we could look up and down without seeing another person. We never needed the beach towels provided by the villa. The staff rakes the seaweed off the beach. If you walk either north or south, you will see lots of weed and plastic garbage. When the wind died down, we snorkeled off the beach and saw turtles, rays, fish. Highly recommend having Chari and Felipe cook for you. Their meals are better than what you would get at a restaurant. We enjoyed their dinnners every night. On their night off, we went into the hotel zone and had a mediocre dinner. We rented a car, mainly because there were six of us, we had luggage, and we went into town several times a week for scuba diving. I would have been happy staying at the villa without leaving the entire week. Bottom line, we would not hesitate to rent this villa again.

Luxury in paradise
This beautiful home and setting more than met our expectations. The home was spacious and comfortable with many amenities. We had meals prepared by the caretakers on three of our nights there and all were delicious. The guacamole with every meal was a favorite. But the outdoor space is truly breathtaking. We felt like we had a private beach that went on for miles and spent many hours both on the veranda and on the beach. We hope to return!

Family trip for our parents 50th anniversary
We were fortunate enough to spend 2 weeks at this beautiful Casa in the Sian Ka'an in March. We were a group of 7 adults there to help celebrate our parents 50th anniversary. We could not have asked for anything more, everything was absolutely perfect. The house was exactly as describe, in fact I would say even better. Felipe and Chari are the greatest hosts and provided everything we needed. As we are a group who enjoy cooking so we took care of most of our meals and the kitchen and grill were just great, one of the best equipped kitchens I have seen in a vacation rental. We did take advantage of Chari's cooking for a special anniversary dinner one night. To say that it was excellent would be a huge understatement, I would recommend anyone staying to have at least one of their meals. Being that some of our group were sun people and some were shade the combination of covered and uncovered areas was just perfect. Most of our days were spent on the beautiful beach where we saw few if any other people. We usually had dinner on the outside terrace enjoying the fantastic breeze off the ocean. All in all it was a fantastic trip and the house was perfect, we could not have asked for anything more!

Stunning house, stunning location!
This was the perfect place to celebrate my wife's 40th with our closest friends. It's a stunning property. Standing on the roof viewing porch, we could catch both sunrises and sunsets over water. Each of the three masters is excellent, and the fourth bedroom with the single beds has a lot of space. This stretch of beach is very private, only a few houses every coupe hundred yards or so. The house also has sea kayaks, boogie boards, etc that makes ocean time super fun. On the homefront, the in-house chef is the best chef of Mexican cuisine any of us had encountered. All around a great choice for a group or family.

Second year in a row and still a blast!
We love Casa de los pelicanos so much, this was our second year in a row staying there! The house is Amazing, the rooms are quite big, the staff so kind and they keep the house and beach so clean! we came back because we love the seclusion having a beach to our selves, the access to kayaks, snorkel gear, boogie boards. Never a dull moment, plenty of things to do if you are an active person and plenty of private space (decks, patios, beach chairs) if you just want to relax with a book or take a nap. It is such an easy drive from the airport, renting a car is the best way to go! the dirt road to the house is no problem at all, this year there was a lot of rain the weeks before our trip but the road was mostly graded and only a few pot holes nothing big. We still were able to drive 25 mph easily to the house and it does not take long to get there. The grocery store is convenient, only 20-25 min drive, we love their bakery! Donuts and everything! The town of Tulum has many great resturants, but we preferred to cook most of our meals at the house.The kitchen is huge and very well stocked with every appliance and utensil you could need or want. We loved driving to Dos Ojos cenotes only 30 min away and the Tulum Ruins are a meer 15min away so much is so close and yet we are just as happy staying at the house. We had my husband our two kids 12 and 8yrs and my nephew who is 13 yrs old, they Boogie boarded every day, built sand castles and tried building forts (LOL). My husband and I played too, but also had plenty of chill time. I would recommend this home to any persons or groups of people, who want to have a great vacation!
