Casa Tranquilo








At long last -
You've found your own little slice of heaven.
Casa Tranquilo has been newly remodeled and is available as a guest rental.
In the little fishing village of Santa Clara, on the Yucatan peninsula, is a charming little bungalow nestled among forty two coconut trees.

Flamingos congregate across the street in the salt lagoons. Sit on the porch, put your feet up and watch them fly.

It's an easy stroll to a local restaraunt where fresh fish, shrimp, octopus and cold beverages await under a large palapa roof.

A double bed sleeps two, a hammock can also be hung for napping or for those looking for an authentic sleeping experience.

While there is much to do in the area, Casa Tranquilo is not for those looking for non stop action and fast paced activities. Nor is it a place in which to party. It is, however, the perfect, quiet spot where you can experience a genuine local flavor while being hosted by an English speaking couple who. They will be right next door to offer suggestions, answer questions, and serve you breakfast ( lunch and dinner are up to you. A refrigerator is in the casita, there is no cooking).




















The nearest airport is in Merida. Rent a car to explore the area- charter a boat, experience the mangroves, visit a Mayan ruin, a colonial city, tour an hacienda, swim in a cenote or take a dip in the pool. Stop on the way and pick up some food. Drive north from Merida a short half hour to the beach town of Progresso ( home of the worlds longest pier). From there, head east for a one hour drive along the gulf coasts blue waters passing villages and estuaries that are home to large flocks of egrets, herons and flamingos. As you enter our puebla, be looking for the Santa Clara sign - stop. You've arrived!


Unpack, settle in, grab a hammock, a good book, a cool drink and relax.
Casa Tranquilo is $50.00 (US) a night with a three night minimum ( breakfast included). If you'd like a longer stay, let's talk...
