Casa del Perro Feliz, Tankah Bay

"Idyllic Location, Perfect Vacation” A guest comment from Jan. 2015

Come to Tankah, and relax and reconnect with family, friends and nature at Casa del Perro Feliz. Well appointed and well maintained, Casa del Perro Feliz is a very comfortable private beachfront villa. Located minutes from Tulum and the Tulum Ruins, Tankah Bay is a quiet, security gated neighborhood in the Mayan Riviera, and has three restaurants and a cenote in walking distance from the villa.

Casa del Perro Feliz is a 3 Bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home, and is available for rent to guests who appreciate beauty, quality and nature. Tucked into the curve of Tankah bay, the villa is built among the palms and the indigenous trees on a half acre lot, behind a large, gated, stone wall. Casa del Perro Feliz has one of the larger lots on the bay with 99’ of beach frontage. The villa is very comfortable and open, and has many windows with magnificent views.

The floor plan is very user friendly and all bedroom suites have their own baths, comfortable beds, cotton bed linens and ocean views. The culmination of many years of planning and dreams, the house features Mexican tile floors, Mahogany trim and doors, a gourmet kitchen with granite counter tops, a Bosch gas stove, and handmade, custom, furniture.

Our on-site staff is there to make your stay in Tankah a comfortable and enjoyable one. If you don't feel like cooking, chef services are available. Our caretakers Lourdes and Ruben, are excellent cooks, and can prepare your breakfast or dinner for a reasonable fee. Ruben is also an excellent bartender. In addition to our caretakers, who live on-site in a separate house, we have an English speaking property manager to help make your visit more enjoyable.

Designed to be eco-friendly, and not require air conditioning, the passive solar design, 9 1/2 ft. high ceilings, and strategically placed, screened windows, provide soothing Caribbean sea breezes along with views of the ocean and keep the house comfortable. Enjoy the sound of the waves lapping on the shore, and the breezes rustling in the palm leaves instead of the hum of the air conditioner. Shaded by the native palm trees, the front of the house, and our palapa, are ideal spots for relaxing in one of the hammocks with a good book or getting a massage.

No vacation is complete without a visit to the rooftop which features a large open area with a built-in sofa with and has a million dollar view. Relax on the rooftop sofa with a Margarita or your favorite drink, and enjoy the stunning views of the turquoise Caribbean. Watch the indigenous birds and the sunset over the jungle. It is the perfect way to end a great day at the beach.

We have been visiting Mexico and the Mayan Riviera for over 30 years, and feel that Tankah offers the best of both worlds; nature & seclusion, minutes away from Tulum and nearby amenities such as shopping, internationally recognized restaurants, cultural sites and cenotes. Casa del Perro Feliz has been the home away from home for many, many, satisfied guests visiting Tulum and Tankah. We have found that the volume of repeat guests is by far the best testimonial we could ask for! We invite you to come visit and experience Casa del Perro Feliz for yourself!
