Vacation Rental Description

Castillo de' Arena (translated means: Sandcastle) is our Dream Beach 
Vacation Home.  We decorated it as a home, not a daily rental unit. We 
purchased only the best and you will benefit from the quality. Each 
and every room was decorated with love and care.  Each piece hand 
selected. All the rooms are floored with beautiful tile. If you are 
looking for an UPSCALE retreat, to relax and enjoy, then we 
welcome you to our Sandcastle on the beach.  Natural, undisturbed 
beaches stretch for miles.  Rarely will you come across another 
person.  The pace is slow and your days and nights are totally up to 
you.  We are constantly adding new things to the house with every 
visit. While we wish we could be there full time, we can't and we 
decided to share our dream with you. 
 
This luxurious home, with over 6500 square feet, is located on 5 
private acres.  Included in the 5 acres are 30 meters of private beach 
front. The lot is planted with over 100 young, coconut palm trees and 
various native vegetation.  Many of the coconut trees have begun 
producing delicious coconuts. The house is built to American 
specifications.   
 
When you arrive to Castillo de' Arena, you will immediately be greeted 
by the wonderful beach breezes blowing through the palms and the sound 
of the tranquil ocean. Depending on what time you arrive, you will see 
and hear different things. You will also get a wonderful first glimpse 
of the beach path and the gorgeous blue, green waters of the gulf of 
Mexico.  You may have seen the wild, bright, pink flamingos that are 
across the road from the house.  If not, you will have many 
opportunities to experience this wonderful, rare  moment during your 
stay.  Then you will walk on the sidewalk that is bordered with pink 
and white flowers, to the front entrance.   
 
Open the door and enter the marble foyer and the beginning of the BEST 
VACATION OF YOUR LIFE!!!!  To your right is the living room, dining 
room and kitchen.  Also the large sliding glass doors that open off 
the living room to the over sized, covered, soapstone patio.  If you 
go to your left, you will encounter the only downstairs bedroom and 
bathroom.   
 
The living room has 2 very comfortable leather coaches and a over 
sized leather chair.  There is a hand made coffee table, a TV, and a 
glass writing desk that sits near the sliding glass doors. 
 
The kitchen is oversized and has All the conveniences of home. There 
is an abundance of counter space and cupboard space.  Plenty of room 
in the kitchen for more than one person without tripping over one 
another.  The perfect place to try your hand with the local cuisine of 
fish and fruits and vegetables.  While in the kitchen, you have 
beautiful views of the ocean, breathtaking sunsets through the coconut 
groves, various Yucatan Audubon recognized birds , and the constant 
intoxicating breezes of the ocean. 
 
The large, marble dining room table seats up to 8 people comfortably. 
There are very large windows to not obstruct the beautiful outdoor 
view while you eat.  There are also Roman shades on every window if 
you would like a more intimate dinner, or to block the sun during the 
bright, sunny days.  It overlooks the soapstone terrace, beach, path 
to beach, and native plants and of course, the coconut trees.  There 
is also an island/bar off the kitchen. 
 
The downstairs covered patio has several lounge chairs and 4 different 
choices to place a hammock.  The view is hard to describe as anything 
less than perfect.  The beautiful gulf waters, the 
vegetation, the various birds (flamingos, humming birds, pelicans, 
seagulls, cranes, sandpipers, mocking birds, owls, etc...).  Fishing 
boats, sail boats, and dolphins will occasionally pass by in the distance. 
 
The downstairs bedroom has a queen sized bed, dresser, hand made 
armoire wardrobe, built in nightstands with three drawers each, a 
ceiling fan, built in corner cabinet, and a large window that faces 
east.  Spectacular sunrises can be viewed from this room.  If you 
prefer, there is a custom made, roll down curtain.  The bathroom has a 
glass shower with seat, pedestal sink and toilet.   
 
To your right is a small hallway and door that lead out to the back 
patio, one room apartment or maids quarters and laundry facility.  
 
Up the stairs, when you reach the first landing, you will be head 
level with the large window that faces the flamingo reserve.  You will 
also see the second floor landing to the large sized patio that 
comes off the first bedroom on the second floor.   
 
When you reach the second floor, to the immediate right is the first 
bedroom.  This room faces east and south.  Early sunrises and a 
constant, uninterrupted view of the flamingo reserve decorate this 
room.  There is a queen sized bed, built in night stands, built in 
corner cabinet, and a mirrored closet.  There is also a ceiling fan. 
There is an attached bathroom with glass shower with seat, sink, 
plenty of storage space, toilet, large mirror and another ceiling fan. 
There is a door that leads to the balcony facing the flamingo reserve. 
It is over sized and a perfect spot to use binoculars or a high 
powered zoom lens on a camera or camcorder to view the flamingos. The 
reserve is protected and completely natural. Early in the morning, you 
can hear their very distinct communication sounds.  There is also a 
spiral staircase attached to the balcony that allows you to use the 
large flat roof for a more spectacular 360degree, unobstructed view of 
the area. 
 
Returning to the hallway, facing the ocean, there are two bedrooms 
that are side by side.  There is also a hand crafted armoire wardrobe 
in the hallway. 
 
The bedroom to your left is the "Master Bedroom".  It too has a queen 
sized bed, built in nightstands, TV, clock radio, built in dresser 
with 6 very large, cedar lined drawers. A large window facing the 
ocean and a door that leads to the second balcony.  There are many 
locations to hang a hammock.  The view from this balcony is pristine. 
Endless blue skies, unobstructed view of the many colors of the Gulf 
of Mexico waters as far as the eye can see.  Local fisherman 
frequently boat across in front of the house, pelicans soar overhead 
and skim the ocean water.  We've seen dolphins and many fish jumping. 
Sunrises and sunsets are also viewed from this room.  The starry night 
is inspiring.  Since there aren't any city lights, the stars are so 
bright and seem so very close.  Relaxing in a hammock and looking at 
the stars is the perfect way to end the day.  You can still hear 
the ocean and feel the breeze.  When there is a full moon, it is 
spectacular to see it bouncing off the ocean waters.  Every day comes 
complete with a unique sunrise and sunset, never repeating itself.  
There is a small, wooden desk that faces the ocean.  I have sat there 
many times, writing letters, and keeping a journal.   
 
The attached bathroom has a large walk in, glass shower with a bench 
seat. It is big enough for two. There are many drawers and cabinet 
space.  It also houses an enormous walk in closet with mirrored doors. 
There is a ceiling fan, sink and toilet. In the closet you will find 
an iron, ironing board, and  3 sealed rubber containers that keep the 
towels and sheets and extra blankets for the entire house, clean and 
smelling freshly washed.  
 
The bedroom to the right is very similar in size and has the same 
amenities as the "Master Bedroom".  A queen size bed, built in night 
stands, a mirrored closet, attached bathroom and a large,sliding glass 
door that leads out to the shared balcony with the Master Bedroom, TV, 
built in corner cabinet and attached bathroom. There are also a set of 
windows that face East, allowing the Sunrise to greet and wake you. 
The bathroom has a glass shower with ceiling fan, seat, sink, toilet 
and plenty of drawer space. 
 
The apartment/maid's quarter, located on the first floor, facing west, 
makes up the 5th bedroom and bathroom.  This room is a mini apartment, 
with it's own refrigerator, shower and bathroom.  This would be a 
perfect spot for the family with an older teen that wants their own 
space, or for a nanny, or for a hired housekeeper.  (Not included in 
the rental price.)
