We had a wonderful vacation here. The owners are wonderful and helpful. We hired a cook and she delivered delicious breakfast and dinner meals. The Villa was spotless and roomy. The pool was spectacular and the grounds were beautiful. The two villas easily accommodated our party of 20 (ten adults, ten kids). It's a little inconvenient to get to the beach, but we enjoyed our time there. We will return on our next trip to Mexico.

Absolutely amazing spot for 17 adults. Food and service was the best part. Easy to get to the beach, less than 2 minute walk. Everyone was very accommodating for our intimate wedding service. The grounds and pool are beautiful and there's so much room between the 2 houses for everyone.

This was listed as ADA wheelchair accessible even spoke to host. He said two steps. There 17 steps to get to bedrooms. Never mentioned it two separate house. No private beach. Had to move twin beds down stairs an sleep in living room. Host would just walk unannounced. We rented property he had no right to do that. Ceiling in master bath had mold on it. When it rained stair carse got wet and it was very slippery. No handrails in bathrooms. Property was beautiful. Made host aware that this was my husbands last family trip as he was diagnosed in Dec. with ALS. Very highly disappointed in whole experience. I have text an emails where the ADA stuff was talked about. I don’t want another family having to go this. Chef was wonderful and food was delicious.

Our group of 8 adults and 8 kids (ages 9 to 16) loved this place. 5 stars! We would stay here again. Things to note: the villa consists of 2 separate units: one with 6 bedrooms and one with 3 bedrooms. They are located right next to each other, but are separate structures. Our group congregated in the larger of the 2 units, which had 2 kitchens and 2 dining rooms and lots of living space.The owner Martin lives on or near the villa, and we saw him each morning. He is friendly and chatty and will assist with anything you might need. Martin had already filled the fridge with cold drinks when we arrived, which was great. The private chef was awesome! We had her prepare 3 meals for the group. The food was fantastic! And there were leftover for lunch the next day, which was great. The subdivision seems a little like a ghost town, with some houses appearing abandoned and others in various stages of being built. Not a lot of people. It is gated, with a security guard. It felt perfectly safe to us. The walk to the beach takes about 3 minutes, and goes by an empty lot that has some trash in it. The beach itself was average, but we enjoyed it. The pool at the villa was great, both for kids playing and adults relaxing.These things noted did not significantly detract from our enjoyment of the vacation. It is a GREAT spot for a group to gather!Thank you Martin for a great rental experience!

The property owner, Martin, was very quick to answer any questions we had and helpful in answering our questions about the area. The dinner we had prepared by the chef was amazing and one of the best meals of our entire trip. Everyone from our group highly recommends this property and the property owners.

Group of 16

Our stay was incredible! The house was perfect for our group of 16. There are plenty of places to hang out as a big group and space to go off on your own and have some alone time. The beach was a little hard to access, so we ended up spending more time at the house which was fine since it's very beautiful and private. The food was amazing and overall we're so happy with our experience!

Our week at Martin’s place was wonderful! The house and property were beautiful and large enough for our whole family of 20 people to have plenty of space. And Martin even provided a crib and high chair for our youngest granddaughter. The pool was amazing — warm and had plenty of pool toys for all our grandkids. We had a chef for a few meals and that was wonderful too. They accommodated our food needs and worked very hard to please us in every way and then cleaned up all the dishes afterwards. The quick walk to a beautiful beach was wonderful! It really is a gorgeous beach! The kids also loved seeing the coatis that lived in the jungle behind the house. Martin lives on the property, so he was right there if we needed anything. Stay at this place! You won’t be disappointed!

It was a great house/houses. Plenty of gathering spots both inside and outside. A quick walk to the beach. The chef, Mercedes, made all our dinners and it was more than worth it. Cirque de Soleil is almost withing walking distance. We went there on Thanksgiving evening and it was wonderful, as usual. I would definitely recommend this villa/villas.

We had a family reunion and really enjoyed our stay. The food was excellent and so convenient. The fridge was stocked with water, sodas, beer. Margaritas were provided. Our family had people from 8 to 80 and accommodated us well. The pool was warm, almost hot. Martin was extremely responsive. Something to know about the villa is Martin lives on site so he was around which was ok by us. Also the beach is close, 5 minutes walk however was somewhat small. It is an easy location to get to Playa del Carmen. Definitely recommend staying here!

It was a surprise to learn that our group was staying in 2 different buildings. You should make sure the description of the property corresponds with the internet. I had a room above the kitchen and the cook and helpers were very loud early in the morning usually 6AM! The food was good, but I had enough tortillas to last me a while.

Lovely Villas close to the beach

The villas were perfect. Two huge kitchens that were very well equipped. The location was so great. Just a minute walk from the beach. The access to the beach was a little precarious, I just wish I knew that to prepare the group that I was with. I am a yoga instructor who is hired to bring groups on fitness vacation. This group had a lot of requests and Martin was very quick to respond each time they needed something. Martin was helpful through out the whole process leading up to the trip as well and provided a lot of information and fast replies to questions.

Great place great food great staff and great times!

We were a large family group consisting of grandparents, their children and grandchildren (17 people ranging in age from 10 to 72) The property was very clean, the pool was warm and beautiful, and the villas were perfect. The women who provided the dinners for us were friendly and cooked delicious meals. The beach to the left of the villa was not crowded and good swimming but a little challenging to access. The beach directly to the right was quite crowded. Kitchen was well appointed and there were many options and nooks for visiting. Martin, the host, was very helpful and friendly. The only item to improve our stay would be better access to hot water for showers. A note to other renters to ask for boogie boards and extra toys if they are not left out for you to access.

Great place for a family vacation!

This property was perfect for our family vacation. It is exactly as described, so no surprises upon arrival. Our group consisted of 8 adults and 6 kids. There was plenty of space for group gatherings, and enough bedrooms/ bathrooms for everyone’s privacy. The kitchens were spacious and well equipped for meal preparation, with 4 refrigerators. We used the chef services for dinners, and the food was exceptional. The staff could not have been more pleasant or accommodating. The house was immaculate upon arrival, and cleaned thoroughly and frequently throughout our stay. The pool was perfect for our group which included kids from 3-14 . The entire pool was heated, so swimming at any time of day was comfortable. The shallow pool was perfect for the little ones, and had seats to allow the adults to congregate as well. We could all fit in the pool without crowding. There were 2 beaches with walking distance. The closer beach was a 2 minute walk, but required navigation over some stones to access. There were high winds during our stay, which made it a little tricky but doable. The other beach was a 10 minute walk, and was much less crowded, and calmer. Both beaches were clean, and offered snorkeling opportunities. Our host Martin was very helpful, and offered lots of information on sightseeing and local customs. He was available at any time, and made us feel very welcome!

Disliked: Location
We enjoyed the property itself, but our interactions with the owner, Martin, made our stay extremely uncomfortable.Martin entered the house every day without announcing himself or asking permission, often when my 30-year-old daughter was there alone. During these visits, he repeatedly criticized her or other members of our group about minor matters, including our plans for the day and where we chose to shop. His manner was consistently negative and condescending, and these interactions occurred every day of our stay.The washer and dryer were also kept locked, and we were not allowed to use them until we asked multiple times. Additionally, there were cameras inside the house, which I photographed. Martin told us they were unplugged and were only used to monitor workers. However, their presence made us uncomfortable, particularly because he seemed to know when someone was at the house alone.I have rented through Vrbo before and have never experienced an owner entering a rental daily without notice. We paid for a private and relaxing vacation, but instead we felt watched, criticized, and uncomfortable throughout our stay. The experience was not what we expected from the listing.
