Casamara is a private, family friendly 3-bedroom beachfront rental on the slower side of Los Ayala, ideal for families or small groups seeking space, calm, and authentic coastal Mexico.
Part of Elena’s on the Beach, a family-run property with deep ties to the area, Casamara blends traditional charm with modern comfort. Walk to jungle trails and tacos in town, fall asleep to the sound of waves, and wake to ocean breezes. This is the Mexico travelers fall in love with.
Casamara offers the charm of a classic Mexican beach home—arched ceilings, hand-tiled details, and breezy indoor-outdoor flow—with the ease of professional hospitality and ocean views. Every room is thoughtfully designed to help you feel relaxed, connected, and right at home.

The story behind Casamara
Elena’s on the Beach is named for Elena, an American who fell in love with Los Ayala in the 1960s—back when it was little more than a quiet fishing village. She and her husband built their home here and became part of the fabric of the community. Now 98, Elena remains active in supporting her local library and children’s programs.
The property is family-run, cared for by local residents who have lived in the area for over a decade and are proud to carry forward a legacy of hospitality, connection, and care.
