Casa Caleta, In Its Best Light
From the moment you step inside Casa Caleta, the Caribbean coastline becomes part of the room. Sunlight moves across the stone floors, the pool appears almost level with the sea, and the entire space opens effortlessly toward the bay. It’s the kind of view that doesn’t announce itself; it simply settles in and holds your attention.
This was the setting for our open house in Puerto Aventuras. Kim O’Connell and Tracy Beitz welcomed guests with the ease that comes from years of experience – knowledgeable, relaxed, and confident in the home they were presenting. Their approach allowed everyone to explore at their own pace, taking in the atmosphere and the design without interruption.
An Entrance Shaped by Light
Casa Caleta’s entrance is deliberately paced. Moving through shaded stone and filtered light creates a gradual reveal rather than a single opening moment. Nothing is rushed; the space is designed to slow you just enough to register the texture, the temperature, and the shift in scale before the home opens toward the water.
Inside, the architecture introduces a different kind of calm. A linear water feature runs along a quiet interior corridor, its movement subtle but intentional. It doesn’t mirror the entrance; it refines it, establishing a rhythm that carries through the rest of the home. Together, these early transitions set the tone for the property: composed, thoughtful, and shaped by the way light and water move through the day.

Architecture With a Clear Point of View
Clean lines and strong materials define Casa Caleta’s exterior. The pool sits just above the bay, edged in stone that catches the afternoon light and keeps the water in view.
The layout is open and direct, creating an easy link between the terraces and the coastline. Architect Alejandro Escudero’s influence shows in the balanced proportions and the way each outdoor space complements the landscape. It’s a focused, disciplined design that lets the setting lead.
A Moment Meant to Slow the Day
There are parts of Casa Caleta that are designed for a pause, not to look at anything in particular, but to feel the place settle around you. The terrace is one of those spaces. The open air, the quiet shift of light across the stone, the easy rhythm of the water below, together they create a moment that feels both grounding and expansive. It’s a corner of the home where the day naturally slows, and the landscape becomes part of the experience.
Light That Settles Into the Room
As the afternoon light moves through the interior, it softens every surface and brings a sense of calm to the room. Nothing here demands attention; instead, everything contributes to an easy, collected atmosphere. The textures, the shadows, the stillness, they work together in a way that feels organic and intentional. It’s the kind of environment that encourages quiet focus, where even simple objects take on a sense of presence.
An Afternoon With Its Own Rhythm
As the afternoon settled in, the home found a comfortable rhythm. Guests moved through the terraces and open-air spaces naturally, some pausing by the pool, others taking in the view from the upper levels. Casa Caleta handles movement well; every area feels connected, and the flow between indoors and outdoors is seamless.
The atmosphere stayed relaxed throughout the event. Conversations formed easily, and people gravitated toward the spaces that suited them: shaded lounges, garden pathways, or spots overlooking the bay. It’s in these moments that the design shows its strength: the home supports the way people actually gather and spend time, without feeling structured or staged.
Even as the light shifted, the environment remained steady, offering the same sense of openness and ease that defines the property.
The Warm Light of Late Day
As the afternoon moved toward early evening, the tone of the home changed. The terraces picked up a softer warmth, the colors along the bay shifted, and the exterior took on a quieter presence.
It’s a time of day that suits Casa Caleta exceptionally well; the materials respond gently to the fading light, giving the property a calm, settled feel.
Spaces That Encourage Conversation
Inside, the atmosphere carried that same ease. Small groups gathered in comfortable corners, conversations slowed, and the rooms felt more intimate without losing their openness.
The house holds this hour naturally, offering a balance between openness and calm that becomes even clearer as the sun drops.
Sunset on the Caribbean Coast
As dusk settled over the bay, Casa Caleta shifted into a calmer, more grounded presence. The terraces held the last of the light, and the outline of the home rested cleanly against the water. It’s a moment that shows the property at its most understated, yet still unmistakably confident.
Ending the open house at this hour felt natural. The home moved from sun to evening with the same ease it carried throughout the afternoon, revealing how well it supports both activity and quiet.
