Beach Front, Ocean Front Living, Affordable Price - Family Friendly

Pack your bags and treat yourself to total rest and relaxation at Casa Colibri (Humming Bird House) a lovely beach house situated at Costa Cumana one of Puerto Escondido's most exclusive communities.

This lovely architecturally designed home is literally on the golden sand beach which stretches for kilometers in either direction. Built for comfort and relaxation, Casa Colibri is beautifully decorated and landscaped, yet is family friendly. Call us today, its as simple as that!

Costa Cumana is an ecological beach resort just outside of Puerto Escondido.

Fronting directly on to the beach, Casa Colibri is the place to watch the waves, count the pelicans, enjoy the mantas that dance in the surf and 'ooh' and 'aah' at the dolphins and whales that make regular appearances. The beach is an active nesting area for turtles and if you are lucky you will get to see a 'nido' or turtle nursery as the baby turtle’s hatch and make their way to the sea.

Casa Colibri is a perfect rental for families with kids; girlfriends on 'retreat' or anyone who wants to escape the hustle & bustle of day-to-day life and soak up the sun, sleep in a hammock, sip margaritas in the pool or walk the beach at sunset. Our wonderful staff, Sergio, Flora and Carlos will take great care of you!

Humming Bird House is great for families. The outdoor living space and dinning area allow you to soak up the heat whilst staying in the shade (and keeping an eye on your kids)! The kitchen is fully equipped and opens to the palapa so if you are cooking you can hang out with your friends & family. Our beautiful palapa is the heart of the home providing indoor/outdoor living. With a constant light breeze from the ocean, and four overhead fans this is a delightful space. Lounge on the comfy bancos, hang out in the hammock swing, watch the waves and count the dolphins!

The house comes with a large pool facing the beach, with a lovely shallow section perfect to hang out with babies and young children

The master bedroom is light and airy and sophisticated featuring a King-sized bed, lounge area and gorgeous onyx lighting . With an en-suite bathroom, plenty of closet space and a lovely private patio- which is perfect for morning coffee - this space is bound to please. Wake to the morning sun and sleep to the sound of the ocean. Patio doors open directly on to the ocean at the front and and on to the pool to the right.

The guest bedroom features two queen sized beds, a large closet and a safe. With its own private patio, and a great view of the beach, this is a relaxing space for your family or friends. With both air-conditioning and an overhead fan it is wonderfully cool on the those hot Mexican nights. The guest bathroom is cool and calming featuring plenty of cotton towels, and all the amenities you would expect.

The media or TV room is a multi-purpose space. By day it is a work space or TV room. There is a flat screen TV, Sky satellite, internet, DVD player, and space for two computers. With double doors at both ends, during the day you can open it up and make it part of the outdoors. At night it converts to another bedroom comfortably sleeping two adults and one child. With air-conditioning and an overhead fan this is a cool comfortable space at night.

All bedrooms have Sealy pillow top mattresses and 100% cotton sheets. Whilst the bedrooms and media room have air conditioning all of the rooms have ceilings fans - so you never get too hot! With two bedrooms in the main house (1 with a King, 1 with 2 Queen’s), a media room that can comfortably sleep two and a single bed that can be placed in any room as required there's space to spread out!

The kitchen is clean, bright, comfortable and functional - the owner is a foodie and always makes sure to leave the pantry with some of the basics you'll need for your stay - olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar and some spices. Bottled water is provided, the fridge produces ice on demand, and there is a second fridge to hold all those important beverages you'll want to keep cold! Our housekeeper is a wonderful cook of local style food, she is available to cook at an extra cost, give us a call to find out more!

The pool deck provides both sun and shade. The pool is designed to be family friendly with a lovely shallow area for toddlers. The pool can be seen from everywhere in the palapa, so children can be in view but not underfoot. With sun loungers and hammocks and fabulous views of the ocean, this is where you'll spend much of your time soaking up the rays and enjoying a cold Corona.

The sunset bench is the perfect place to sit and sip aperos, snack on appies and watch the magnificent sunsets

Our staff is available during the day. Sergio takes care of guests and maintenance, Carlos takes care of the landscaping and pool, and Flora takes care of the house keeping, including your laundry, the dishes, and cleaning. They are all super sweet and helpful. There is a laundry room with a washer, dryer and iron - so no need to pack too much!

The team are available to ensure your stay is perfect offering first class concierge service. If you need something special, ask Sergio he can help arrange:

Massages out on the patios
Manis and pedis
Yoga in the sun
Deep sea fishing
Dolphin watching
Lagoon kayaking tours
Birdwatching at Manialtipec with a naturalist
Paddle board or surfing lessons
Cooking classes
Market tours
Taxis in to town

Whilst many people rarely leave the house, Casa Colibri is just 10 minutes from Zicatela beach and all that Puerto has to offer - surfing, deep sea fishing, bird watching, kayaking, and dolphin watching, sailing, and hiking.

Puerto is home to loads of good restaurants (everything from Japanese, Argentinean, Italian and of course Mexican) and oodles of fresh seafood. The local mercado is a lively authentic daily market with everything from food to flowers to artesania available; and the Adoquin and Zicatela offer up lots of shopping.

Whether you want to listen to the ocean waves at night, relax in the pool, entertain under the large palapa in the spacious living/dining room areas, enjoy the sun in the poolside lounge chairs, or watch the sunset over the ocean, Casa Colibri and owners Penny & Joe welcome you, your family and your friends to a vacation you won't forget!

Casa Colibri offers the perfect vacation mix – sunshine, sea, and sand in a luxurious, relaxing setting with all that Puerto has to offer just 10 minutes away. We invite you to come and discover this wonderful part of southern México. Welcome.

**During the winter months, often from November to the end of February the owners and their two small dogs, are in residence in the Casita Colibri on the back of the property. There is complete separation of the two spaces, and each has it's own pool. The owners are available and willing if asked to help guests plan activities and figure out how to get around, and to ensure all aspects of the house are in perfect working order, but are also happy to be completely ignored!

Spectacular Location, Amazing House, Grate Service!
I chose this house to celebrate my anniversary with my wife and our dog, we stayed there for 3 nights. The House is brand new, everything was clean, we had all we needed and the service staff was allways there to help us. The beach is amazingly clean and virgin. Perfect for dogs!

You will never find a better house in Puerto Escondido!
The house is gourgeous, it is fully equipped. Macry and David will treat you as KINGS! The location is incredible, the beach, the weather, the food, surfing and all kind of sports. I recommend Colibrí House for full family vacations. It is so comfortable that you never want to leave! I'm really greatful for finding the house through this site.

Dream Vacation
January 2013 We spent three wonderful weeks at Casa Colibri and loved every minute. It was the most relaxing holiday spent in a lovely, well-kept home, in a beautiful place. From the stunning sunrises to the dependably fabulous sunsets, it was 21 days of perfect weather. The beach is a stunning stretch where one can walk for hours in either direction and never meet another soul! From our palapa we saw whales in the distance and on New Year’s Day were treated to a lovely dolphin dance! What a sight! Macri and David met every request with “no problemo”. What lovely people. Thank you, Penny and Joe, for sharing your wonderful home with us. We can’t wait to go back! Jack and Kathy Bennett Gananoque, Ontario

Review
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall really great. A few discrepancies between the listing and reality. The extra house thing is not actually included even though it was listed as being so. There isn’t a washer and dryer, but the maid will do your laundry for you which is nice. The media room sleeps two, but it’s not terribly comfortable and doesn’t have any storage for clothing. The other bedrooms have limited storage. Beyond that though it’s a pretty solid place.

We loved Casa Colibri
We stayed in “Casa Colibri” for a week…and we will never forget it! If ever we rented a house that matched the website images - and exceeded our expectations - it was Casa Colibri. The Palapa- house has an open and welcoming atmosphere, with spacy rooms and comfortable sits for everybody. It is decorated tastefully and harmoniously, as well as convenient and well equipped (bathrooms, beds & kitchen). From the open living room you get a look over the garden and swimming pool…right at the beach. A perfect view at the ocean from early morning to starry nights. Situated in a wonderful surrounding with it’s own beach where you can walk all by yourself and swim in the pacific ocean ….Casa Colibri is closed to Puerto Escondido and the various beaches (like Zicatella) where we went out for dinner or shopping. We really felt ‘spoiled’ at Casa Colibri, not in the least by Macri and David who took care of the house and chores every day and made us feel at home in an very unobtrusive way. We had the greatest week, thank you!

Comfortable Stay
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My guest and I stayed at Casa Colibri 21-25 Aug 2022. The house was excellent! The furniture was clean and well appointed. With access to the beach within steps, it was relaxing and peaceful. I opted to use the chef services but found that the website menus and onsite menus were completely different, which necessitated choosing meals from scratch. However, the chef, Flora, made the entire process enjoyable and smooth. The meals were ample and delicious. Recommend for a comfortable stay.

Ahhhhhhmazing house!!
This place is just epic! It’s better than you can even imagine. Practically private beach. Awesome pool. Amazing grounds. Comfy beds. Outdoor spaces. We spent 5 nights there and hired Flora to cook. Yummy food served up with an ocean view every day. So good. 15 minute drive into town but we never wanted to leave the house.

Ideal place for a quiet beach vacation
This beautiful serene property located steps from the beach is ideal for a quiet family vacation. The outdoor living area allows you to monitor the kids in the pool while you are able to relax! There is a property manager who is extremely responsive and willing to help you with any of your needs including hiring cooks, recommendations for things to do in town etc. Daily cleaning staff come to maintain the house/pool/garden. Everything about this rental enables you to come and put your feet up and enjoy coastal living!

Spectacular house in a spectacular location. Great daily maintenance. All facilities just fine, tho kitchen equipment could be updated a little. You don’t see or hear neighbours unless you want to. Kids love the beach although the surf a little much for swimming. Great holiday.

A Fabulous Stay
We just returned from a fantastic week at Casa Colibri. The house is wonderful and the beach is beyond beautiful. We loved every minute of our time there and can't wait to go back. Penny is a great host. She responds quickly and is easy to communicate with. Flora took such good care of us! She's an excellent cook and a meticulous housekeeper. She made three meals a day for us for five days and they were all delicious. Every single one. If you book a massage - and you should - ask for Maria. She's terrific. Casa Colibri is a very special place. I highly recommend it.

Pictures do not do this property justice
I have have stayed in properties all over the world, and none even come close to this amazing property!! For starters Penny does a remarkable job communicating with you before you arrive, and Mauricio, the manager, was also excellent and helpful. The property is spotless, and there is staff there each day keeping it clean and tidy. The beach, which spreads out miles in both directions, is perhaps one of the nicest beaches in the world. The sand is soft and the waters, unlike other parts of Puerto Escondido are safe for swimming and bogey boarding. And while at Casa Colibri, spend the extra money and have Flora do the cooking. You will not be disappointed with the ceviche, tlayudas, Aqua frescos and moles. We are looking forward to coming back to this amazing place. What a wonderful experience.

Whether you are single, a couple, a group of friends, or a family this property has it all in a very safe, friendly, and quiet environment or if you need action take a short drive in to town for all of the activities and restaurants you might want.

Incredible stay for small group or family
I spent a week at this beautiful home as a couples trip with my wife and two friends. Casa Colibri is situated in Costa Cumana, which was a quiet residential area that was very safe and comfortable. Proximity to restaurants and markets is a perfect distance; 10 minutes to La Punta, 15 to Zicatela and food markets. The kitchen is outfitted nicely that we cooked most meals, and had a cooking service for one day which was excellent. The beach is sandy, and was great for swimming and boogie boarding which we did every morning and evening (the water is so clear!). Sunset every night became a big event for us so we planned our day around that. The photos posted are completely accurate. Most of the home is open air, with air-conditioning in the bedrooms if the evenings are still hot. We found that the home has enough air movement that it was always comfortable (we had high 80’s every day for weather). Casa Colibri made experiencing the Puerto Escondido area so easy, and I will be looking to come back.

Stunning beach location
Stunning location that would deserve more than five stars. Direct at a lonely beach. The house is very well equipped with ACs in all rooms and everything in the kitchen that one might need. Communication with the owner was always nice and friendly. Very different picture with the local management, which was unreliable and difficult to communicate with and actually made it more difficult for us to enjoy our vacation. Rest of the local staff, especially Flora the wonderful cook, was great and very friendly and helpful. What could be improved: The second bedroom has no curtains which really limits your privacy while the local staff is around (the gardener arrives at around 7am...). Internet speed is very slow even for just reading the news and wifi coverage spotty, which is frustrating because the neighbors network next door seems to easily cover the whole house, too. Overall, a wonderful place if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful beach retreat a bit off the beaten tracks. We would definitely be happy to come back there.

Amazing beach front house in a gorgeous location!
Our family visited Puerto Escondido this past week and had a great trip. Casa Colibri is the perfect spot to relax and unwind. We had the beach in front of the house to ourselves and swam in the ocean daily (until the waves started to get too big!). We took morning walks along the beach and spotted baby sea turtles hatching. It was incredible! We also loved swimming in the pool at the house. The house is open and spacious and was a great spot for us to play cards, cook, tell stories and relax. The house is about 15-20 minute away from town and restaurants so you should get a car or plan on taking taxis. The town of Puerto Escondido has multiple cool beaches, shops and plenty of good restaurants. This was a great trip for my husband and I and our 3 teenage kids.
