2 independent houses next to each other - 8 guests

Las Casitas de Chanche are 2 cozy houses next to each other that comfortably hosts up to 8 guests. They have the same layout, fitting 4 guest in each house: 2 independent kitchens, 2 living rooms and 2 bathrooms. The houses are surrounded by the jungle and 5 minutes walking from a few cenotes and 10 minutes walking from Playa Xcacel, the best beach of the Riviera Maya. Well located and yet far away from the tourist crowds. The place to relax :) Perfect to accommodate 2 families traveling together, two couples that want their own space, or a big family/group of friends that want to stay together and have some extra space. Las Casitas de Chanche are next to each other (literally 20 steps away) separated only by one house in between: Tio Charlie's home. Tio Charlie is a local guide and scuba diving instructor that will be happy to share all the knowledge of the area. Each house has 2 bedrooms: one with a double or king bed and another with 2 single beds - fitting 4 guests in each house. Also each house has its own fully equipped kitchen, living/dining area, and its own bathroom. Also both houses have a front yard and a backyard (unfurnished). They are located off the beaten track between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. It is situated right in front of the jungle and 10 minutes walking from one of the best beaches in the Riviera Maya: Xcacel (a virgin beach with a cenote that is a turtles sanctuary). Crystal clear water and a white sandy beach, the perfect beach for snorkeling, swimming and relaxing. On your way back you can swim in the fresh water cenote (underground lake) 100 meters away from the house! There is also a bigger cenote less than a mile away in the middle of the jungle. We do not live on the property, but we will be available any time! Las Casitas de Chanche are in Chan Chemuyil, a quiet, charming, colorful international community of 220 single family homes located between Akumal and Tulum. It is walking distance from the village of Chemuyil, a local and authentic Mexican village where you will find restaurants and patio bistros that serve delicious and cheap meals, small markets and a full laundry service. Our unique location gives you the opportunity to have a more authentic travel experience. You will be within walking distance to the Pueblo of Chemuyil (15 minute walk) and Xcacel Beach (12 minute walk) Note: you must cross a highway with a wide median in the center to get to the beach. It is great located for easy access to Mayan ruins like Tulum and Coba, to the Sian Kaan Biosphere, Eco-parks (Xcaret, Xplor, Xel-Ha) and other great trips like exploring Cozumel, great snorkeling, spectacular white sand beaches, cool jungle cenotes... If you plan to visit the Mayan ruins and do a lot of sightseeing, or have small children, renting a car at Cancun Airport will be your best option (highly recommended!). Public transportation is easily available just around the corner on the main street: The "colectivos" (small public buses), go by readily between 6am and midnight. After hours, you can get a taxi from Akumal (10min) or Tulum (15min). Airport transportation can be arranged by private transfer, or by public transport/ADO bus. Parking is provided in front of the house. Be aware of the insects, you will be in the middle of the jungle ;)
