Our House, Yaax Che'
In this very Mayan part of the
world, it seems appropriate that
our beach house has an Indian
name.  It came up in conversation
with a Mexican friend that the
Mayans have a sacred tree and
its name is Yaax-Che' (yaz-chay),
which translates to "green wood".  
For personal reasons this is a
perfect name for our house, and
you will notice the solid wood
furniture and cabinetry are also
finished in deep, emerald green.
This is the front yard.

Beyond the cement wall is
another 30 meters of sand
beach between the wall and the
water's edge.

The Gulf of Mexico and endless
beach in both directions are just
beyond the gates.  During the
quiet season, which is other than
summer or two weeks at Easter,
you will often be the only person
on the beach when you go for a
walk.
You can barbecue every night on this beautiful
terrazza, and dine al fresco too.  We do!
This is the covered
parking area on the
back of the house.

Covered parking
adds greatly to your
comfort, keeping
your car and its
contents out of the
blistering sun. It's
nice to have when it's
raining too.
This is the view you will see from
the front bedroom windows.
This roadside
sign with the
house in the
distance will be
your first view of
your destination.
