The eastern seaboard of Mexico’s Caribbean coast is a rare jewel on this planet, and Casa Espiritu del Mar is one of the few reasonably priced gems available along this rapidly developing coastline. The Casa is located in the Uvero neighborhood, about 35 km north of the cruise ship port town of Mahahual, soon to be designated Carnival Cruise’s signature Caribbean port. The paved road from Mahahual to the Uvero access is about 30 km north of Mahahual, with the last 6 km to Casa Espiritu del Mar enjoying a well-maintained, compacted sascab beach road.
The Casa’s 25-meter-wide lot is in and of itself a treasure. It is one of the few beaches along this coast that is growing larger every year – by a lot! Espiritu del Mar has gained roughly 72 meters of clean, white sandy beach over the past 12 years, and it continues to grow.
Casa Espiritu Mar was designed and built by the Sellers in 2013. This beautiful two-bedroom retreat is replete with all the comforts and conveniences that you might be looking for, starting with the welcoming stone patio entrance flanked by colorful bougainvillea and magnolia gardens.
A cozy screened porch sitting just off the spacious first-floor living room is a perfect sanctuary by day or night. The dining area is open to the living area and accommodates multiple guests and easy entertaining.
The second-floor master bedroom has a private screened porch, flanked by a generous outdoor patio with a truly magnificent sea view. In addition to the 2-bedroom, 2 1/2 bath main living quarters, this versatile Casa has a separate second-floor apartment for lucky house guests, an independent rental, or even an on-site caretaker.
Since its construction, the Sellers have invested $10,000 in additional improvements, including eight new 48V solar panels and six new lithium batteries that serve the entire house. The refrigerator-freezer as well as the washer-dryer are high-end LG appliances. The Casa is wired for air conditioning, but the breezy location, in addition to multiple ceiling fans, has not warranted the need for air conditioning.
The exterior windows and doors are simulated mahogany, maintenance-free aluminum throughout. The interior doors and built-in cabinetry feature custom-built tropical hardwood construction. The floors throughout the house are minimal-maintenance ceramic tile as are the kitchen and bath countertops.
As icing on the cake, the entire house comes fully furnished with tropical wood, custom-made furniture to match the tropical wood doors and cabinetry throughout.
At the asking price of $499,000, Casa Espiritu del Mar is truly a Caribbean beachfront bargain.
