Water trucks deliver, septic systems for sewage, solar, wind or propane generator for electricity. It's off the grid, similar to the beaches down the coast. If you are looking for something economical, not complicated and an escape to splendid isolation but close to town, this might be the place. You can ride an ATV on the beach all the way to El Golfo if you are so inclined.
Not sure who can answer this - playaperro or Roberto - the yellow/green and pink houses in the pictures above - are those beach front or are they where Esperanza has hers on the beach front road.
Hi.....We are in Manzana 174. We are not beach front, we are 1 road up from the beach. We are in the same line as the houses in the photos. There are currently no houses beach front, but there is a huge palapa that was planned as a beach front restaurant "before the bottom fell out". I think we are 100m from the beach. We are over in the newer section......totally alone! Very peaceful regardless of where you are on the property. Great group of people; 2 homeowners live there full time, the rest of us are weekenders. Our plans are to build and retire there.
Miramar, don't think they are open at night....at least not this time of year. I don't believe you can see the water.
You're making this sound better and better all the time - I have mariposas in my tummy just thinking about having my own little beach house. I started thinking about beachfront, but we can't afford it. Then I realized that at some of the condos on Sandy Beach they don't have beachfront either. The walking distance between some of the buildings to the beach - especially the ones like Bella Sirena and Las Palmas with the homes in front are probably more than 400m off the beach anyway.
Just FYI, the eastern beaches- Encanto, Miramar, and Dorada all used to run solar. Although Playas Miramar and Encanto now have electric, I liked not having an extra bill (although our electric bill w/ solar running as well is about $3/month). As for water truck delivery, it's nice to know exactly your water usage each time you go down- just look in your tank. I think it makes you think about the cost of water, so you tend to use less.
I can't wait to get down there and check this out in person!
. We love being in Mexico.....hubby is sooooo much happier when there; not the CRAP we have to put up with here in AZ. Without "sinking" this thread, in the eyes of many, if you're NOT WHITE, your illegal! Don't have those problems when in RP ;-)
We know just what you're saying with usage of water & electric. Even in the States, we are conservative with water & electricity. It's just the "right thing to do"
. I fight with my kids all the time about how wasteful they are........and they come from Mex. DH is really sad that they've forgotten what it's like......they've become GRINGO-IZED....LOL.
