Summary:

Experience the best of Huatulco at Casa Santa Cruz! This stunning 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom house features a private pool and is perfectly situated near Santa Cruz beach and marina (10 min walk). Enjoy easy access to the Oaxaca coast and relax in your own private retreat, surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the nearby National Park. Your perfect vacation starts here!



The Space:

This spacious home has everything you need for a fun, laid-back vacation! Splash around in your private pool, or take a short stroll to the heart of Santa Cruz for restaurants, shops, and adventures.



Welcome to your family’s home away from home in beautiful Santa Cruz! This spacious house is designed for relaxation and adventure, offering the best of both worlds: your very own private pool and easy access to one of the area’s most family-friendly beaches.



The main floor features a cozy living room overlooking the pool, a fully stocked kitchen for family meals, a dining area perfect for gathering, and a bathroom for convenience. With high-speed satellite internet, everyone can stay connected—whether it’s for streaming movies, remote work, or a quick check-in with friends back home.



Upstairs, you’ll find 4 large bedrooms and 3 bathrooms—plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Three bedrooms have comfortable queen beds, while the fourth is set up with 3 single beds, perfect for kids or cousins who love a sleepover vibe. Each room comes with air conditioning and fans, and the views range from the quiet park across the street to the sparkling pool in the backyard.



Just a short walk away, you’ll find Santa Cruz Park, home to the lively Saturday Organic Market and Café Huatulco, surrounded by shops, restaurants, and the marina. A couple blocks further is the national park, ideal for exploring nature together as a family. And when you’re ready for the beach, Santa Cruz Bay is waiting—calm, sheltered, and perfect for swimming with little ones.



Whether you’re splashing in the pool, enjoying a beach day, or strolling through town for ice cream and souvenirs, this home is the perfect base for your family’s Huatulco adventure. No crowded resorts here—just comfort, space, and fun all to yourselves!

You will have access to entire house & the back yard pool area. The pool is approximately 5m by 2m with a depth of 1.2m.



A car isn't really required as most things are within walking distance or a very short taxi ride. However gated parking is available if you need it.



The Neighborhood:

Santa Cruz beach and the nearby marina, park and restaurants is the heart of Huatulco & is only a 10 min walk away. No need for a car, most things are in walking distance or a quick taxi ride away.



Getting Around:

Taxi's are affordable and plentiful, most fares are between 35 and 70 pesos. Its generally less then a 10 min ride to get to Crucecita or some of the other numerous beaches that you can explore.



Other Things to Note:

All 4 bedrooms are up one flight of stairs.

owned and operated by Canadian & Mexican couple



Interaction with Guests:

As we are not always personally in Huatulco, we prefer to interact vía the app as we can generally solve any requests quicker that way. Of course when we are in Huatulco we are happy to respond in person.



Either way we strive to make sure your vacation a memorable one.



If you have any questions regarding the property or the area in general we are happy to answer any questions you may have

First time - Family vacation in Huatulco

We had a great time in the house and enjoyed all Huatulco activities! House is clean and has all amenities you need for your staying. AC in the dorms is a plus! Our host Norma kept us in the loop to make sure we had what we needed. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Stay!

The property and photos were spot on for the listing. It is a beautiful home in a peaceful and safe area. We were just a short walk from the beach, restaurants and shops. Many taxes also pass up and down the road so it was an easy option as well. Norma was super quick and responsible throughout our trip. In the evenings it was nice to relax by the private pool or lay in the hammock with the kids. We loved Huatulco and will definitely be back!

Casa Santa Cruz

Enjoyed our stay, Norma was great in staying in contact with us and as well as helping with anything we needed. Great location and no problem getting a taxi, as they go by the house frequently. Only complaint, are the neighbours dogs. Not at night but every morning for a couple of hours. Not much you can do about that. Would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous House!!!

A group of 5 of us stayed in this house for 11 days - absolutely loved our time in Huatulco. The house is in a great location - easy to walk to the beach, into the little town for food, or even into La Crucecita - either along the road or up the walkway. It was VERY clean, and all the necessities were provided. The kitchen appliances were all top notch, and lots of cups and glasses!It was wonderful having 4 bedrooms - and if you had all the windows closed, they were very good at keeping unwanted noise out! (there were a couple of local dogs who occasionally barked, and a couple of pool parties near by - but it is a Mexican beach town!) The AC & fans in the bedrooms were fabulous as the overnight temperature outside was in the mid 20's!! Norma was great - answered all our questions quickly and THANK YOU for the water!!! The pool was very well used! The 1st day or 2 it seemed 'cool' -- not sure whether it warmed up or we got used to it but it was a welcome relief during the hot afternoons!! Highly recommend both this house and Huatulco. Spectacular beaches and great weather!

Lovely week in Bahia de Santa Cruz

My friends and I enjoyed our stay at the house! We had everything we needed to make our week in Huatulco comfortable and enjoyable. Norma was very good at answering questions and communicating with me before our stay, as well as during our stay if we had questions. The house is on a fairly busy street, but there was not a lot of traffic noise at night, and the neighbours were quiet for the most part, with the exception of one night when the neighbours behind us and over one, had a 'fiesta'. Santa Cruz beach was only a 5-10 minute walk away, which was great, and when we wanted to go into La Crucecita (10 minutes away by taxi for $35 pesos), or to another beach, it was very easy to get a taxi by waving one down right outside the house. Taxi prices were fair and consistent. There are restaurants and stores within walking distance of the house as well. The only issue worth mentioning, which we have shared with Norma, is the address of the house needs to be clearer on VRBO. On the way to the house from the airport, our taxi drivers were confused and had a hard time finding it. Members of my group arrived on 2 different days and it happened both times. The area is divided into sectors, so the sector letter to identify the neighbourhood is a key piece of information needed to locate the house. Overall, Huatulco is a lovely part of Mexico! The weather was fantastic, the pool was nice and cool after a hot day at the beach, and all the people we met were super friendly.

Great Location but Noisy

We loved the house and it’s location. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes and appliances (coffee grinder, blender, coffee maker and toaster). There was also laundry soap, dish soap and a good supply of toilet paper (I mention these three things as I have stayed in rentals that did not provide these things). Norma was a great host who did responded promptly to our inquiries and she allowed us a later checkout (2:00) which accommodated our flight departure times. Check-in was with a property manager with very little English so that was a bit challenging but I am striving to learn Spanish better. This was our first time renting outside of a condo complex and we were unprepared for the neighbourhood dogs barking at 4:30/5:30 in the morning (pretty much daily). Our solution to that was to then sleep with the windows closed and run the air conditioner but it took three early sleepless mornings to figure that out. Overall, a fabulous place...if you sleep with ear plugs or have a sleep machine this place would be no problem.
