About this property

Home with Rooftop Terrace & Pool, 3 King Beds, 3min to Beach, Restaurants, Shops

There is nothing quite like watching the sunrise over the ocean… except perhaps, after a long day at the beach, watching the sunset over the jungle. From the rooftop terrace of Casa Perros Afortunados - the House of the Lucky Dogs - you can do both, AND you can also sunbathe with privacy and cool down in the rooftop plunge pool.

With its treetop view of the mangrove jungle on one side, and the ocean view on the other, Casa Perros Afortunados offers our guests a beautiful place to say, with all the amenities you might need while on holiday. A 3,000sf private house in the quaint fishing village of Puerto Morelos, Mexico just 20 minutes from the Cancun airport, Casa Perros Afortunados is ready to welcome you.

Just a short stroll to the beach, a four-minute walk to restaurants, and steps to the town square where shopping, markets, and all the action happens, the House of the Lucky Dogs is situated perfectly. Puerto Morelos is still a colorful and traditional village with neighborhood roosters, local street produce stalls, and fishermen selling their fresh catch. It is a wonderful place where locals and visitors mingle effortlessly.

You can visit the Frutaria (fruits and veggies) across the way, and the Carniceria (meat shop) down the road, along with your neighbours, or there's always the big grocery store by the square. You can share the lively nights of music at the restaurants nearby where the main street is closed to traffic at night, and chairs and tables line the road. Everyone enjoys their meals with fairy lights overhead and both traditional music and songs of the 70's-2000s playing. You can experience it all and still have a wonderful place of your own to relax.

The house is designed with comfort in mind while still presenting guests with interesting and creative elements. Handmade masks, woven baskets, bright colours, and well-placed wall hangings mean that Casa Perros Afortunados will delight everyone who enters.

The functionality of the house has been given every attention. The fully equipped kitchen, which includes a five-burner gas stove with griddle, is spacious and offers seating at the granite-topped island peninsula. We have a reverse osmosis water filtration system, blender for those icy beverages, microwave for quick warm-ups, coffee maker for your mornings, and every imaginable utensil for when you decide to cook up a little something. You can enjoy a relaxed meal at the island or gather around the dining room table, which seats up to eight. And if you don't want to cook but don't feel like going to a local restaurant, we have two wonderful chef options for you, both of whom are amazing cooks with incredibly reasonable prices.

In the sitting room is a comfortable sectional couch, ottoman, and three armchairs, lit by beautifully woven local basket lights. The open concept main floor means that hopping up to refill your beverage doesn’t mean a pause in conversation.

The second floor Media Room has a smart TV, and is connected to Expat TV which offers every show, sport, or movie, shown live from the US, Canada, or the UK. We even have a DVD player and movies for you, and comfortable lounge seating, providing a place for relaxed viewing on those quieter nights. And if you really need to work, the room also has a long desk for your use. Wifi is strong and fast!

When the day is done, you can find rest in one of the three bedrooms, all of which have high-quality king-sized beds. The second-floor bedrooms are identical master suites that each offer ensuite bathrooms, and large, private balconies. The main floor bedroom has big windows with lots of light, and the full bathroom is adjacent to the room. It is situated off the living room area so provides easy access to all the main floor amenities. All our bedrooms come with white noise makers for light sleepers.

When you arrive at Casa Perros Afortunados, you can enter via the secure gate and park your vehicle inside. The gardens surrounding the property are lush and offer a beautiful setting for relaxing with friends and family. A covered patio overlooks the rear garden and includes an outdoor ping pong table for those friendly competitions.

The local community loves their dogs and, being a House of Lucky Dogs means we will gladly also welcome your dog family members! We request that they not be over 30lbs though and that they not take any dips in the pool.

Puerto Morelos offers an amazing array of activities: dive or snorkel along the coral reef (a protected national park and part of the world's second largest coral reef), sport fishing in the Caribbean, in-home private massages, biking, golfing, beautiful underground cenotes with crystal clear water, or short drives to shopping and nightlife in Cancun or Playa del Carmen.

We can connect you to all of it through our wonderful local guides and service people. Just ask! We strive to offer you the best possible holiday and will gladly support your planning.

This is a beautiful property in the heart of a Mexican seaside town. Our neighbourhood is safe and people are friendly. We truly have the best of both worlds: excellent restaurants, live music, and amenities that appeal to visitors, while also having the privilege of local neighbours on either side of us. This is a beautiful area that mingles visitors with locals, and the sounds and experiences of real life in Mexico are authentic. We back onto the jungle so you may see harmless and sweet coati families hanging out in the trees, and on top of our laundry room in the back garden where it's sunny and warm for them (no they don't approach you). We often hear a rooster in the morning (we call him Ramon). This is town life here in Mexico and we urge you to come and enjoy both the luxuries available to visitors and the regular way of life lived by our community.

We look forward to welcoming you to Casa Perros Afortunados: The House of the Lucky Dogs!

Excellent Holiday Stay

My two adult daughters, their partners, and I stayed at this property for 11 nights over Christmas and New Year. The house was perfect for us and is as described and portrayed in the pictures. Puerto Morelos is very safe and walkable, and the house is well situated for the 5-10 minute walk to the great beach, local (excellent!) coffee shop, restaurants, or supermarket. Katherine was very responsive before and during our stay. Would stay here again.

Wonderful for family stays!

We brought both sets of our parents down with us for the first time and they had a wonderful time. The house was perfect in every way. Within walking distance to all our favorite things and plenty of local wildlife to engage with. I would highly recommend this place for anybody with a group size from 5 to 6 people.

Great house for a large group

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is perfect for a group of 6 and is in a great location. The beach, restaurants and shopping are all short walks. There is a fantastic breakfast place about 100 feet away and a little shop with snacks and drinks right across the street. The furniture is comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. The dining table is large enough for everyone to dine together or play games, and the rooftop terrace is wonderful with covered seating, a bar and a small pool. The back courtyard is also pleasant and the ping pong table was a lot of fun. There are a lot of excellent restaurants on the next street over and a modern, well stocked grocery store a few blocks away.

Lovely Home

We had a wonderful time at this house with my two adult daughters and their significant others. I love the decor of this home. It was so nice to go to the beach club (unico) and then return home to this lovely place. The pool was a nice bonus. We felt comfortable contacting the owner for any concerns. I love the location. Just steps away from a nice bar/restaurant… and being across the street from the convenience store was very “convenient” :-)… the owners of the SIX(convenience store) were sweet people. Definitely recommend staying here. It was fun to get to know some of the local people.

This place is the best!

This large 3-bedroom home is walking distance to everything. The kitchen is large and well equipped, and there's a private plunge pool on the roof. But the best feature for us was having two huge king master suites since we were there with another adult couple. That's a very rare commodity for vacation rentals. And Russ, the owner/manager, is top notch! You won't find a better host to deal with, believe me. We highly recommend this property.

This was our first time staying in Puerto Morelos. We have had day visits in the past. The location is ideal for walking around the entire town. The space for the seven adults was also perfect. Loved spending time on the roof top and playing ping pong.. The kitchen provided everything we needed to prepare meals. Lucio responded to all my messages within minutes as well as any requests we had. Russell the owner as well was very helpful with recommendations and was quick to reply even when on Safari!! We would definitely return again.

Great house, great location

House is very much as advertised. Two or three short blocks from the beach -- maybe a three-minute walk, tops. Beds are comfortable and AC units cool rooms quickly. Rooftop bar and pool catch a good breeze. We had a minor hiccup with the water shutting off, but Lucio came over quickly and fixed it within an hour. Lots of good restaurants are an easy walk. We rented a car, which we parked off street in the courtyard without incident, and which gave us easy access to restaurants on the colonia side of town, which were also very good and much cheaper. Puerto Morelos is a great place to visit, and the snorkeling in particular was awesome.

Puerto Morelos holiday

We stayed at this house for 9 days at the end of March and we all feel fortunate to have had the opportunity! The house was spacious and comfortable. It was beautifully finished with lots of gorgeous wood trim and whimsical decor. We would start our day with coffee and croissants from the Bellville bakery listening to all the birds on the back patio and end our afternoon having Happy hour and a dip in the pool on our rooftop patio. The location was good too. Quiet but close to good restaurants, the beach, and town square. Thanks Russ l hope we can return again soon!!!

Adorable property with plenty of space and amazing location!

Russ was super nice from the start, recommending transfer services and car rentals that we never would have found ourselves. The property was super clean and well furnished and the ac pumped COLD - it was perfect after walking the block or two to dinner (literally) and coming back. Amazing location. We spent most of our evenings on the roof but - beware - pack LOTS of bug spray. I should’ve used more and that’s my fault, but there are tons of mosquitoes because - well, you’re right next to the jungle. We enjoyed both Louis’ friendliness and recommendations and his wife who cleaned once while we were there. Seriously the only negatives I can come up with are - mosquitos (which will be everywhere) & there was only one tv in the middle sitting area on the second floor. We watch lots of tv when hungover - but it didn’t matter bc everything was in Spanish anyway. Great place and seemed much larger than in the pics! Will rent again!

Perfect getaway walking distance from the beach

Booked this for my birthday weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The property was exactly as pictured but the location was even better! Short walk to the beach with amazing restaurants and lots of activities! We brought our own snorkeling gear and went off the beach and we did a tour of the reef as well (lighthouse tours) which was a short walk to the pier! The house had everything ! Full kitchen, beach towels, a pool and bar on the roof (lovely for morning coffee)! Very quiet area and we had friends who had never visited Mexico and it was a treat! So many people speak English so easy to get around if your not bilingual. 10/10 booking this house again !! Internet was spotty at times but hey, not there to be online anyways!

About the host

Hosted by Owner / Property Manager

Host profile image
My family and I have been coming to the area for almost 20 years and we can't imagine anywhere more wonderful to spend our time together. We're excited to be offering this property for rental; a house that has been a well-loved destination for many groups over the last 10 years. As with our other listings, across all platforms, we look forward to welcoming you, and to continuing to offer the 5-star accommodation that guests of Casa Perros Afortunados have come to expect over the last decade.

Why they chose this property

When searching for our vacation home on the Mayan Riviera, we considered both what we wanted in the location, as well as what we did not want. Of course we needed walking access to the beautiful blue Caribbean water. We also wanted easy access to the Cancun Airport to make it an easy trip for visitors. We wanted an authentic Mexican experience, where you know you're in Mexico, and not surrounded by predictable glass and steel high-rise resorts that could be on a beach anywhere. We wanted a small location with the colorful and interesting experience of having locals as neighbors. Where we could easily walk to cool cafes, restaurants, diving and snorkeling, and local Mayan markets.

What makes this property unique

We found all that and more in Puerto Morelos. A seaside fishing village perched between a stunning reef-protected beach and mangrove jungle, both beautiful features that prevent excessive growth of the town. Yet it's just a 25 minute drive to the Cancun international airport. So with privacy as a main objective, we chose a recently built two story house a block and a half off the beach, and just two blocks to the shops and restaurants around the main square. Close enough to stroll easily to either, yet set just far enough away for privacy. Then to enhance the experience, we built up the top of the house, adding a rooftop observation deck with our own large terrace and pool for complete privacy and a 360 degree view that includes the ocean reef, the lighthouse, the coco palm treetops and the mangrove jungle. Inside, we have upgraded the decor, kitchen, WiFi, music systems, etc. to provide modern luxuries. We are proud of what we have accomplished. We love our time here and invite you to enjoy it as well.
