Shared yard with another property. You will be welcomed and enveloped in the beauty unique to Choya Bay. The house is complete enough to live in full time, which we actually did when we first moved to Mexico. This allowed me to perfect details in the house; very complete kitchen, all you will need. Park on the pavers directly in front of the house and enter through the front door. We love dogs and the large yard is secure, however if your dog is small enough to push through narrow fence posts, then a leash would be advised. One or two dogs are welcome; they are an extra one time $15.00 a dog per trip. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Gym ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22480000/22471400/22471399/da9bfa9f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Las Conchas Home w/ Patio: Steps to Beach Las Conchas - Ocean view - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air-conditioning 9.6 Exceptional 93 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-12&endDate=2026-04-13&selected=22471399&PinnedHotelID=22471399&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach, sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36540000/36534300/36534238/9538a16b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casita by the sea Playa Encanto, Mexico Playa Encanto - Pet-friendly - Air-conditioning - Parking available - Microwave 9.8 Exceptional 84 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-12&endDate=2026-04-13&selected=36534238&PinnedHotelID=36534238&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101020000/101012300/101012242/ed2944a6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Caballo De Mar Beach House - 3 bedroom/3 bathroom house right on the beach Sandy Beach - Ocean view - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi 6.0 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-12&endDate=2026-04-13&selected=101012242&PinnedHotelID=101012242&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31180000/31175600/31175558/cd3e49b8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### BEACHFRONT 3 bedroom Spacious Comfy.
