Quinta Mai, True Lakefront, Paradise Found! Great swimming, fabulous colors,

Quinta Mai is a colorful slice of tropical paradise on the southwest shore of Laguna Bacalar in the town of Bacalar. It is perfectly located on the tip of a small peninsula that separates two deep blue cenotes. Because of the crystal clear water, the white sand bottom, the intense sunlight, and the variable depths of water, an incredible play of colors is before your eyes. The locals call it 'The lake of the seven colors' and you can see all seven colors, and more, from the dock at Quinta Mai. It is also excellent water for swimming. Some of the properties on Bacalar have muddy shorelines and other properties have a very steep approach to the water. Others are too low and they tend to get muddy. Quinta Mai is perfect. It's moderately elevated above the waterline so it's easy to get to the lake. The Lake bottom around the shoreline is firm sand and so the water remains clear. Furthermore there are living rocks called stromatolites just off the shoreline which are concretions a blue-green algae and extremely rare throughout the world. At the end of the dock the water is about 5 feet deep and so you can easily dive into the water. The snorkeling on the lake is beautiful because the water is so clear and there are large rocky ledges and drop offs to explore. If you swim out about 60 yards from the dock you will reach the beginning of a deep blue cenote where the water depth drops rapidly down to about 125 feet. Swimming in the other direction the water becomes quite shallow and it gets down to about 2 feet. This creates a play of colors that varies with the time of the day, the wave action and the cloud cover. Sitting on the dock under an umbrella and looking at the clouds and the colorful lake is absolutely mesmerizing!

My name Is Jim Baumgaertner. I am from Wisconsin and I grew up in Minnesota. I know something about lakes! This lake is perhaps the most beautiful lake in the world. It is listed as one of the worlds greatest lakes by the United Nations, right up there with Lake Baikal, Lake Superior and Lake Titicaca. This place is special! Unlike the aforementioned lakes, this lake is warm year-round and the swimming is wonderful. I swam in Lake Titicaca and Lake Superior, and I greatly prefer Lake Bacalar! It is also fine lake to go kayaking, or to go sailing, or to take a tourist lake cruise. If you are a birdwatcher, bring your binoculars and you will be in heaven! Come to Bacalar now before the rest of the world discovers it.

The town of Bacalar is also very special. It has a history that goes back over 1000 years. The Mayans, the Spanish, and the Pirates of the Caribbean have all played a historical role. There is a stone fortress built in 1715 that was used to protect the city from the ruthless pirates. The town has several public swimming areas and a Central Square that's fun to explore. There are plenty of little restaurants some of which are extremely good and all very inexpensive.

Bacalar is also a good central location to explore a different part of Mexico. You can easily visit the Costa Maya, many different Mayan ruins that hardly anyone else has seen, and the capital city of Chetumal that is only a half an hour away. You are also very close to the border with Belize and just a ferry ride from the islands of Belize.

We have two houses on the property. The main casa is about 1400 square feet, with a shower, a second bathroom, a large bedroom with an adjacent smaller bedroom and a total of three beds. Please look at the video for details as it's easier to see than to explain. There's a living room with mahogany furniture, a small office area and there's also a separate kitchen that is in a room to itself just outside the front door to the house. Surrounding the house are three palapa covered terraces. The covered terraces add an extra 1200 square feet of living space. The palapa awnings protect the terraces from sun and rain. You'll probably spend more of your time out door on the terraces than inside the house. See the video for details.

There is a second smaller shelter that is a small thatched roof hut that used to be a little dance area and bar area used by the previous Mexican owners. We call it the casita laguna, the small house by the lake. It is directly on the shoreline and so it receives magnificent cooling breezes from the lake. Great place to hang out.

Our property also has quite a few trees including two small mango trees, some banana trees, an avocado tree, and 4 coconut palm trees.

To really get a view of this property please look at the video that I shot on January 30, 2015. You can click on it from this website.

By the way, the name Quinta Mai refers to a special place that was a happy home to three children named Maria, Andrei and Isabella. Mai is the abbreviation for the names of the children. We chose to keep that name because our property really is a special place for children of all ages. I hope that you have the opportunity to enjoy it. It is very beautiful and very special!

Lovely spot for the lagoon
Have visited Bacalar many times. We have loved QM and i think the water is perfect to step into the lagoon from there as it is not deep. Excellent view and a well maintained garden by the property manager, Juan. Really attractive little property! it is a bit far from the centre, away from the busy parts but you have to walk through hills up and down to get there so if older don’t recommend to walk. Also it is next to a boating company so can get noisy but overall it is really a paradise. If we had any needs the owner Mr Baumgaertner was just a call away to accommodate with any needs! Really grateful to have stayed there with my loved ones! Thank you Mr Baumgaertner and Juan for your hospitality!

Amazing view
The dock and view were incredible. We would definitely stay again. The house was clean and the bed was comfortable. The house itself is a bit quirky. All the beds are in one room so there would be no privacy. The kitchen is in a separate room from the house. These are not necessarily bad things, just something to know in advance. The boat company next door was not an issue at all. We even took a tour of the Laguna with them which was excellent! The dock and view is what makes this house amazing! My only real con is the water pressure. It is nonexistent and difficult to fully rinse shampoo and soap off your body!

Beautiful place on the lagoon
This was a great place to stay and offered everything you needed. We loved our own private dock and water access! We also took advantage of the properties kayaks. This was the first place I've rented through apps like this where the owner required us to sign a renting contract before visiting. It was almost too much writing and information. For example, when clicking on "directions" there was paragraphs I had to scroll through before finding the information I needed. The property manager was very responsive. I read that there was boat ride business next door but we weren't bothered by them at all. I would recommend this stay and come here again!

Beautiful location, right on the water
The property is located on the Lagoon, which is great but lots of noise right next door from what I gather is a lake tour company with 5-8 pontoon boats and a barking dog. The interior needs updating. Overall though, I had a great time since the property is right on the water and a close bike ride into town for food.

amazing place!
The highlight of this property is the lake and wonderful dock. We used the kayaks and explored the area and enjoyed swimming. We also just enjoyed relaxing in the chairs by the water. The house itself was spacious. clean, although there is limited privacy inside because the bed areas are connected. Both the owner and property manager were helpful and responsive. No issues with the boat rental place next door- fairly quiet in the day. Highly recommend both the house and location.

It was a very nice stay. The owners are great!
The only draw back is the lack of privacy from the boat business next door. But other than that it is a nice place to stay. The lake is beautiful and the owners are great.

Paradise
This place was truly a slice of heaven . We did not want to ever leave . The pictures do not due this place justice . It was beautiful . The lake was clear and warm , the dock was spacious ! Beautiful birds of all sorts .. we saw many different fish while snorkeling around and my son spotted a turtle ! The kayaks James left us where very much put to use … we explored the lake morning, noon and night ! Cenote Azul was only a 15 minute walk from the house . Highly recommend swimming there as well . James always responded quickly with any questions we had . His property assistant Juan was a gem . So friendly and helpful . Bacalar is a paradise .. and thank you for sharing . We will be back !!!
