About Puerto Morelos and "La Casita"
Puerto Morelos is a tranquil fishing village just 15 minutes south of the Cancun airport. It was the first town in the state of Quintana Roo to be designated a "Pueblo con Encanto." The Caribbean waters are calm here, as the world's second-largest barrier reef is located just 500 meters offshore. 

La Casita is within "Las Tortugas," a nine condominium complex, which is steps from the sea and a 5-minute walk to town via beach or road. 

This 1400-square-foot, second-floor two bedroom and two bathroom condo is spacious and beachside. Perfect for two couples, or a family of five! A large terrace overlooks the pedestrian access to the sea. Puerto Morelos' whitest and widest beach is just steps from the door. A fully-equipped gourmet kitchen, living room, and dining room are combined in an open floor space. 

There is a Weber gas grill on the entryway terrace. There is Wi-Fi throughout the condo and in the pool area, and multi-zone air conditioning. A phone in the condo is available for making calls to the US and Canada free of charge. The condo is equipped with a gas detector and a carbon monoxide and smoke detector. 

Within a beautifully landscaped common area are a shared pool, hot tub, lounge chairs, picnic table and a shade palapa. There is on-site parking, and an on-site property manager available to assist you with any needs throughout your stay.
