We would like to thank everyone who uses our websites, subscribes to our newsletter and trusts us to promote their home, rental, business, restaurant and/or real estate. We will continue to work hard to keep you informed, entertained and to spread the word about local businesses and our community as a whole!  Read More

Photo of the Week 
Nature's Brilliance
by Dianna Belitski
Dianna Belitski Guayabitos Sunset 9875
These photos were taken on the beach in Rinc�n de Guayabitos on one of the days we slowed down enough to share Mother Nature's paintings. I have taken dozens of images of beautiful sunsets and they consistently remind me of my need to slow down and wonder at the miracle that we can sometimes take for granted.  Read More

A worry free vacation for you

"Our Mexican rescue dog Kenja has been boarding at Beachdog boarding kennels for the last 3 years and is booked in again for this Christmas. Kenja loves and enjoys the time she spends there, especially as she has so many other friends she can play with or have time alone, if she is so inclined. Melanie is a truly special person, who loves her work and it reflects on the happy guests that stay with her!"

I recently read an article in my northern home's local newspaper about an animal welfare charity offering $157,920 CDN to sterilize and ear-tattoo 1,500 cats (just over $100 per cat) over the next two years.

Ants Be-Gone!
by Lori Schneider Wood
Ants Be-Gone Recipe
Have you ever posted a homemade recipe to get rid of ants? I have a great one and as you can see from the pic - it works to attract them. This pic was taken about 20 minutes after I put out the trap. They take the food home to the mother and nest, and it kills them. I was good for days and days and then another colony found their way...  Read More
