Houzz Escape: Down Old Mexico Way
Soak Up a 5-Minute South-of-the-Border Getaway
We've been trying to beat the post-holiday blues with a visa's-worth of virtual travel destinations this past week. So far we've soaked up the Mediterranean sun in Greece and Italy and island hopped from the Caribbean to Hawaii. For our last installment, we're looking (longingly) south of the border to Mexico.
Vibrant fuchsia flowers greet you at the door of this romantic Mexican casa.
Drop your things here and give the dog a pat. Though the view from your little balcony is killer, you're not likely to be spending too much time here.
... Because the backyard is way too enticing to ever want to leave.
Pick a chaise and set up shop here for the day.
When the sun gets to be too much, slip into the nearby cabana.
It's the perfect spot to enjoy a drink...
Or spread out for a mid-day siesta on one of the comfortable banquettes.
The gorgeous view can easily lull you to blissful sleep.
Then, take a quick cannonball into the pool to wake yourself up.
In the evening, watch the tide roll in over an outdoor dinner under the setting sun.
