It is a new-build house with modern design including two identical separate bedrooms, each with private bathroom and access to its own backyard. The outdoor kitchen and dining room make it ideal for the evening BBQ's. Casa Catarina is a great choice for families, couples, individuals or for anybody who seeks silence and quietness. The Space: Note: There's another similar house available next to Casa Catarina. In case of bigger group please visit our profile or contact us directly here. Both houses can host up to 10 people. Buenavista is located about 20 minutes from the town of Bacalar, 30 minutes from the Caribbean coast of Mahahual and 50 minutes from the boarders of Belize. There are many archeological sites near by, as well as countless free-time activities on the lagoon. Our house is located on the edge of the town with walkable distance to the "downtown" of Buenavista, where you can buy some groceries or prepared local meals. There is some basic stuff for cooking in the house such as oil, salt & pepper, different spices, ketchup, mustard, hot sauces, tea & coffee. We have also a potable water barrel for our guests free to use. Guest Access: The access to Bacalar lagoon is only about 300 meters from our house. There is a public access, as well as entry thru local lido with 35 pesos (2 USD) fee with possibility of renting kayaks or paddle boards for additional fee. This part of Bacalar lagoon is very quiet with no motor boats around, so you can enjoy total peace! The Neighborhood: In case that you are planning to cook, we are recommending to make some groceries on your way to the house, preferably in town of Felipe Carrillo Puerto or Bacalar. Buenavista is a small town with few local stores where you can buy only some basic food as pasta, rice, fruits & vegetables, soft drinks, beer and more. We also recommend to buy some mosquito repellent. Also, please note that there is not any ATM and money exchange in Buenavista, so if you need to withdraw or exchange money, you can do it in Bacalar town or somewhere on your way as well. Getting Around: Make sure to follow the link provided in our welcome message. There is very poor cellphone service in the town of Buenavista, so in case that your maps application needs data to work, open it somewhere with still good cellphone service. There's a public bus stop right in Buenavista as well, but own or rental car would be the best. Other Things to Note: PLEASE NOTE Reservations for 2 guests includes the whole property with ONE bedroom only. In case of booking for 3 or 4 guests, both bedrooms will be available. If the house is booked by 2 guests which prefer to sleep separately, a second bedroom is available for an additional cost. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Things to do - Cycling nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,076 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107280000/107272100/107272084/6dd24532.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury Villa with jacuzzi in Bacalar ( 5 min from the lagoon) Bacalar - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Pet-friendly 9.0 Wonderful 4 reviews CA $178 CA $296 total includes taxes & fees Nov 5 - Nov 6 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=107272084&PinnedHotelID=107272084&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91760000/91758600/91758549/22eab35f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Alebrije, pool, AC near lagoon Buenavista - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 7 reviews CA $66 CA $157 total includes taxes & fees Nov 9 - Nov 10 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-09&endDate=2025-11-10&selected=91758549&PinnedHotelID=91758549&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99820000/99812200/99812132/f0a4e083.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Ek Balam Pool, AC, Beach club by Aqua Viva Xtomoc Uno - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 3 reviews CA $106 CA $253 total includes taxes & fees Nov 4 - Nov 5 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=99812132&PinnedHotelID=99812132&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99610000/99601100/99601054/d6f7b5bb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villa Chicana Pool, AC, Beach club by Aqua Viva Xtomoc Uno - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 2 reviews CA $126 CA $279 total includes taxes & fees Nov 20 - Nov 21 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=99601054&PinnedHotelID=99601054&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/50000000/49040000/49039100/49039081/a2b6a456.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cabin located on the shore of the Laguna de los Siete Colores Pedro Antonio Santos - Kitchen - Parking available - Barbecue grill - Water view 2.0 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-17&endDate=2025-11-18&selected=49039081&PinnedHotelID=49039081&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73450000/73448600/73448554/e1ae0d4e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### LAKEFRONT AMAZING VILLA!

Sep 2, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Buena vista is about 30 minutes from bacalar town so not an ideal location. The house is remote and in the jungle , very rough terrain getting in there Read all the small print , the house is only enclosed from the elements in the 2 bedrooms , the rest ( which is essentially just a tiny outdoor kitchen , no living room at all ) is totally open to the elements and the MOSQUITOES!!! We arrived to check in and were eaten alive in 5 minutes. There were also many wasps , a few in the bedroom. We left and never even spent the night. We did not want to have to be confined to bedrooms for our entire stay. The host has not offered any compensation so beware ! ##### Taryn B. Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tereza J. Jan 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cool apartment in the jungle! The place was clean, outdoor garden and massage pool beautiful. There is an outdoor kitchen and dining table between the two bedrooms. Great for playing games or having a glass of wine. Very peaceful and charming. Beds are very comfortable. Staying in a unique jungle place was an experience and I can now check off my bucket list. I am still thinking about going back and staying a month in this peaceful serene apartment. The outdoor kitchen and dining area is great for playing games. Short distance from Belize ##### Tereza J.
