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!

Nature's Brilliance
by Dianna Belitski
| |
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

We love sharing photos from our readers. Please email your photos (at least 500 pixels wide) to [email protected] along with a photo title, the photographer's name and a description of what the photo is and/or where it was taken. We can't wait to see what you've been up to lately!

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!"
Review for Beach Dog Boarding & Salon in Lo de Marcos by Kenjas' Mom from Beautiful Vancouver Island, Canada

Ants Be-Gone!
by Lori Schneider Wood
| |
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
