House in State of Oaxaca
Reasons to book
About this house rental
A secluded home right on the sand at El Puertecito, with calm rock pools, open-ocean surf and a bay at the door. You get a private plunge pool, an entrance jacuzzi and a rooftop terrace with loungers and a hammock for sunsets. Three queen bedrooms plus a sofa bed sleep seven. It's 40 to 45 minutes by car from Puerto Escondido, the last 3.5 km on a dirt road, so bring a car. Built for surfers, families and nature lovers.
The Space:
The open-plan kitchen, living and dining area flows out to two interior patios, built around the view and the sea air. The rooftop is the heart of the house, with a big terrace, sun loungers, a hammock and seating for sunsets and stargazing.
Bedrooms: three bedrooms, each with a queen bed and a ceiling fan. One of them also has air conditioning. A sofa bed in the living room sleeps one more.
Bathrooms: two full bathrooms with showers and hot, pressurized water, with separate sinks in an open space.
Kitchen: fully equipped, with a 4-burner gas stove, fridge and freezer, coffee maker, blender, toaster, cookware and utensils.
Pool and jacuzzi: a private plunge pool, plus a jacuzzi with hydromassage at the entrance and a small sandy area where kids can play with supervision.
Beach gear: beach chairs, an umbrella, and bath and beach towels are all provided.
Laundry and service: a washer with detergent, and weekly cleaning is included (extra cleans available). A crib is available too.
Guest Access:
The whole home is yours: all three bedrooms, the kitchen, living and dining areas, both interior patios, the rooftop terrace, the private pool and the entrance jacuzzi. Self check-in is by lockbox, and private parking is on site.
The Neighborhood:
At the door: three different beaches, with calm natural rock pools for easy swimming, open ocean for surfing and a bay for strong swimmers, on a quiet stretch of sand full of marine life. About 1 km along the beach is a coastal lagoon full of birdlife, including the pelicans that gather right in front of the house.
Puerto Escondido is 40 to 45 minutes away by car for dining, nightlife and supplies. Highlights include Playa Zicatela's big-wave surf, Playa Carrizalillo's sheltered cove (down a long stairway), and La Punta's sunsets and seafood. The bioluminescent night tours at Manialtepec lagoon are a popular outing, and the Chedraui supermarket and ATMs are in central Puerto Escondido.
Getting Around:
A car is essential here, both for the 3.5 km dirt access road and for getting to town, beaches and restaurants. Private parking is on site. Puerto Escondido and its airport (PXM) are 40 to 45 minutes away by car via Highway 200.
Taxis and colectivos run on the main highway but not reliably down the dirt road, so a rental car is the practical choice. Check road conditions and the recommended vehicle type with us before you travel.
We'd love to host you. Send us a message with any questions before you book.
Other Things to Note:
Getting here:
El Puertecito is genuinely off the beaten path. It sits off Highway 200 (around Km 167), then 3.5 km down a dirt road to the beach (watch for the handmade yellow sign).
A car is essential, and the dirt road is part of the adventure, so plan your vehicle accordingly.
Supplies: the village is very small with only basic shops, so buy groceries and drinking water before you arrive; Puerto Escondido has a large Chedraui supermarket about 25 minutes away.
Climate: the coast is hot and humid; one of the three bedrooms is air-conditioned and all have ceiling fans, so pack for warm nights.
Safety: The home currently shows no smoke or carbon monoxide alarm, and with a gas stove on site, we strongly recommend installing both.
Swimming: the beaches range from calm rock pools to strong open-ocean surf and a bay for experienced swimmers, so match conditions to your comfort and watch children closely.
Before arrival: all guests sign a short rental agreement via a secure link, required to receive access details.
Cleaning: a weekly clean is included; extra cleans are available for a fee.
