Vacation Rental Description
COCO CABANA, a round, two level house with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, is a real jewel of a romantic get away with lots of privacy, perfect for couples.
The first level houses a fully equipped open kitchen, a dining area, a sitting area and a full bathroom. The sitting area has a convertible sofa which folds out into a comfortable full size bed.
From the kitchen you step out onto a large terrace with fantastic views. The terrace is furnished with a dining table, chairs, chaises and a barbecue.
The second level of the house contains a very large bedroom/bathroom suite with even more spectacular views of thePacific. This suite offers a Queen size bed, a sitting area, rocking chairs, a writing desk and plenty of storage/hanging space for clothes.
Coco Cabana and Casa Coco are designed to balance luxury and openness to nature. There are no windows but mahogany louvers for comfort and privacy...
Both houses, although quite separate from each other and each quite private, are close enough to be combined which makes it ideal for family reunions or groups of friends who want to be together for a vacation of a lifetime.
They are equipped with radio/cd/I-pod players, games and some reading material.
Towels, bed sheets, soap, shampoo/conditioner and body lotions will be provided.
You are arriving! A spectacular boat ride from Puerto Vallarta along the emerald coast of the Bahia de Banderas and suddenly, like magic, the village of Yelapa and a beautiful beach with its palmed roof restaurants appear in front of you. A very special place indeed as you notice that there are no cars, no roads, just donkeys and horses. You disembark at Playa Isabel where Felipe, the caretaker, greets you and helps you with your luggage as he leads you on a 10 minutes walk along the water’s edge and up a hill towards your house. Having past the gate you enter a lush tropical garden of bougainvilleas, hibiscus, palm trees everywhere, tropical fruit trees such as mangoes, grapefruits, mandarins, lemons, bananas… a few more steps and there it is. You have arrived !!
Nestled on the side of the mountain amidst luxuriant tropical vegetation teaming with wild exotic birds both houses offer panoramic vistas of the Pacific, the mountain, Puerto Vallarta in the distance and the beach.
“Wahoo!”, “This is paradise!”, “Incredible!” or “What a View!” are often the first comments as people reach the terrace, with its lounge chairs, fronting either Casa Coco or Coco Cabana. The views are spectacular and dramatic. At night, as you sip a drink on one of the terraces, you hear the waves below breaking on the shore and, in the distance, the lights of the coast and the city. Truly one of the best locations in Yelapa.
We want to emphasize that due to their architectural design and openness to nature neither house is advisable for young children.
Please be aware that Yelapa is nestled between the ocean and the jungle with an incredible wild life right at our door. Jaliscan fauna includes a number of impressive creatures such as ocelots, armadillos, land turtles, and raccoons among others.
The birders among you will be delighted. You may spot sparrow hawks, royal eagles, scissor-tail frigates and doves or more exotic species such as, Beryl line Hummingbird, Laughing Falcon, Lilac-crowned Parrot, Black-bellied Whistling duck to name a few.
Expect to see lizards of many kinds including the spectacular iguana.
Unfortunately scorpions are also indigenous to the region. We do our best to spray and treat to keep them away from the house and its immediate surroundings and so far we have not had a problem. Nevertheless they do exist.
You should not consider staying in Yelapa or anywhere outside urban areas of Mexico if you are medically or visually highly sensitive to such creatures.
