About this property

Ocean Front Villa 1st Floor unit

Relax and enjoy our little retreat villa in the Caribbean. Our first floor villa allows you to walk directly to the infinity edge pool or white sand beach from either the living room patio or master bedroom patio. Enjoy your morning coffee as you watch the sun rise over the Caribbean Sea. The second largest barrier reef in the world is right off our patio. Our completely remodeled villa has a large master bedroom suite with its own separate bathroom and patio/porch. The second bedroom has its own separate bathroom. The living area has a large couch, dining table, full kitchen, and patio/porch. The two bedroom areas are separated by a lockable door for privacy, making the space ideal for two couples or a couple with children.

The Villas is remotely located giving you a quiet and peaceful sanctuary in this Mexican paradise. The quaint fishing village of Puerto Morelos is only one mile to the north and the El Cid Resort and Marina is only one mile to the south. All within walking distance to restaurants and activities.

The restaurants in Puerto Morelos offer excellent choices of cuisines from around the world with that authentic Mexican touch. A new grocery store was built in town and fresh seafood market is also available. You will also find local dive shops, fishing tours, and snorkeling tours in town. And of course, shopping at the local artisan shops. The town square is always bustling with activity. At the cab shack you can find a ride to anywhere.

Snorkeling & Scuba Diving - The Great Mayan Barrier Reef located directly in front of the complex is the second largest reef in the world. The reef is home to lobsters, turtles, groupers, barracuda, dolphin, sting rays and a host of other colorful Caribbean fish. Cenote cavern swimming and diving in crystalline fresh water is just a short drive away. All the local dive shops offer scuba diving and snorkeling packages.

Fishing - Charters can be caught at the world class El Cid Marina just down the beach or you can go into town and book a trip with the locals and enjoy Billfishing and light tackle fishing.

Nice little place

My family and I stayed 8 nights at this property. We quite liked our week. The condo was nice and met our expectations. It's located 10 to 15 walk from downtown which was fine with us. Taxi's always available and eager to take you where ever you needed to go. The pool area was nice but what we liked most about it was how quiet it was. Nice little deck area right off our patio with a table to hang around at night. We'd stay again. Restaurant next door was a bit pricy so we only ate there once. We preferred eating in our unit or in town. Loved the water bottle to your door. That was a perk:)

Perfect

Jeff’s condo was perfect for us, from the fully equipped kitchen and comfortable living spaces, both indoors and out, to the spacious and beautiful, seaside pool. The property manager, Arlene, was very helpful. It’s a bit of a walk to town, and so we rented bikes to get around in Puerto Morelos and get over to Colonia. We will definitely be back.

Lots to love here

The condo is great and the property is well maintained: everything is clean and in working order. The grounds of CRV are neat and nicely landscaped. The beach is narrow and rocky and the thick seaweed made getting in and out of the sea difficult but we did manage to swim several times. People are friendly and helpful. Walking to town was treacherous in places due to the lack of sidewalks. But Puerto Morelos is a charming place and worth the walk. Taxis were $10-12 usd one way. We had a very enjoyable vacation.

Caribbean Reef Villas

Lovely condo overlooking huge swimming pool and the Caribbean Sea. Very private and quiet. Nice beach. A little too far from town for me (too far for me to walk), but everything else was super. The owner was very nice, and the property manager and grounds staff were very helpful and responsive. The guests and owners who lived on site very friendly.

Wonderful stay at CRV!

Jeff's condo is a great and safe location. The pictures don't do it justice at all. The kitchen was wonderful, as our family very much enjoys cooking together. It was supplied with knives they could cut and a nice selection of pots and pans that were well taken care of. The area is nice and quiet and you are just steps to the pool. Highly recommend!

Location, Relaxing, Great community of Owners!

LOVED this condo, the location, the pool and the beautiful gardens! The unit was immaculate and the mid-week cleaning was a nice surprise. Kitchen has everything you need including spices and the pots & pans are in great shape! There is also a hair dryer, lovely pool towels, and Tommy Bahama chairs if you want to go for a beach walk and part yourself to enjoy the view. The complex is quiet and shows great pride of ownership. During our stay several of the owners were there and they all welcomed us warmly ~ we even had a great impromptu pool gathering at sunset; there may have been drinks and appies involved! We would highly recommend this condo and hope to return. Thank you to Jeff for sharing their lovely second home with us. Carolynn

Lovely property on a quiet beach ❤️

This is a perfect spot if you want to get away from the crowds of Cancún, yet be close enough to the restaurants, shopping and adventure! Jeff responds right away, and it was an absolute pleasure working with him booking this property. We rented a car for the duration of the stay and found it useful when we wanted to take a day trip to Tulum, various Cenotes in the area, went swimming with dolphins, did zip line and other jungle adventures all within an hour drive. Property is close (5 min drive, 20 min walk) to a lovely little town of Puerto Morelos where you can find large grocery store, many fantastic restaurants and little shopping spots as well as companies that offer snorkelling and other trips. Property is very well maintained, very clean; great infinity pool steps from the condo overlooking sandy beach. We truly enjoyed our stay and it was a combination of days that were either packed with adventure or complete relaxation by the pool / beach. We hope to be back to this lovely area some time ❤️

Beautiful Property on the Caribbean

We just spent 9 nights at Caribbean Reef Villas # 211. This is a beautifully appointed condo with wonderfully stocked kitchen with great appliances, a large patio with lovely furniture, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and everything one could want for a wonderful break from the snow and cold of Minnesota. Although the beach is rocky with lots of the ongoing sargassum problem, the pool is wonderful, and we enjoyed many hours of poolside and Caribbean side relaxing and enjoying the wonderful seaside experience. We often walked into the fine little town of Puerto Morelos and enjoyed margaritas at Cantina Habenera and Don Ernestos. The new Super Chedraui gives you gourmet grocery shopping. and breakfast at El Nicho is always a treat. We also enjoyed meals at our condo with all we needed to make delicious breakfasts and delivered burgers from the very tasty Burger Underground. Don't miss the Wednesday market with homemade lasagna and delicious breads from the German baker. We have visited this area for five years and hope to continue our visits in years to come.

Awesome, peaceful, restful vacation. Jeff’s place delivered as promised.

Jeff’s place was beautiful, clean and functional. Ocean view right out the patio doors and steps away from the gorgeous pool. Lots of chairs, loungers and umbrellas. 20 minute walk along the beach to Delphinus where we swam with dolphins. A 20 minute walk along the road the other way takes you into the quaint town of Puerto Morelos where there are shops and many restaurants to enjoy. We made our breakfast and lunch at the condo and went out for dinner every night. A taxi to town is only 50 pesos and the taxi company is on What’sApp which works great. One afternoon the app wasn’t working so we stood at the end of the driveway and hailed a taxi within minutes. Overall a great experience and one of our most relaxing vacations.

Definitely exceeded our expectations

I think this is an excellent property situated just far enough away from town to make it both easily accessible and maintain privacy . The unit had everything we needed for our stay and has been recently renovated . Arlene was always available to handle any minor issues and the view from the pool area is magical especially at night .. Jeff even has a hammock on hand to totally relax on the patio .. this was the family vacation that we will remember for a long time ...

Perfect place to Recharge and Relax

The end of May is a very quite time of year in Puerto Morelos. A great time to relax and enjoy the locals who are enjoying the slower season. They have more time to sit and visit and give you an extra dose of friendly hospitality. The weather is warmer but the constant breeze off the Caribbean Sea keeps it very comfortable along the coast line. Going to the interior of the Yucatan, it will be very warm and humid. There are a number of fishing tournaments going on, so you will see many more larger fishing boats heading out in the early morning hours. The villa was very comfortable and accommodating. Everything you needed was there in the kitchen. We turned off the A/C at night and let the ocean breeze come in and help put us to sleep. We will be back for another visit soon.

Great place to spend a relaxing vacation

A very nice unit; well stocked to provide for all of your needs in a well maintained condo complex. Close enough to town to walk or bike ride while far enough away for quiet solitude. You will not be disappointed in staying here and enjoying all that Puerto Morelos has to offer. Would not hesitate to rent again and had absolutely no complaints.

Great Condo with two walk out doors to the pool!

This was our fourth stay at Caribbean Reef Villas. Condo #211 was very comfortably furnished and everything was in good order. The toaster oven refused to work on the very last day, but it might have just been a fuse. We loved the location, so close to the pool. The place was spotlessly clean.....thanks Arlene and Staff! We had great weather while we were there. Not as hot as in April, so we will most likely return next year about the same time. Puerto Morelos is a terrific little fishing village with plenty of restaurants, shopping, and local entertainment on the weekends with the Mayan residents. That's what I love about this place. You get a real feel of what Mexico is.......nothing like Cancun.......and I hope it stays that way! See you Soon!

This is the place to be

We returned for the fourth time and were greeted by Arlene with the key. Upon entering the condo as usual it was nice and clean and ready for our stay. Likewise the exterior grounds with the pool are cleaned daily, and the landscape is a pleasant sight which adds to our overall satisfaction. We come mainly to relax and take daily walks along the beach. We eat some meals at the condo and the rest in town. There are almost too many eating places to choose from, but all offer good mials and diverse menus. This is how we spend two weeks relaxing and escaping the bitter winters of Wisconsin. but if one chooses, there are many other things to do such as golfing, fishing, visiting Mayan ruins or just driving to other towns to shop or for sightseeing. Besides our daily swims we meet a variety of different folks who like to talk and visit with, and there is a nice selection of books, videos and CD's to entertain your self. I believe there is no better place in the Playa del Carmen area to be than at Jeff's villa. We are returning again next year; so what better recommendation could one ask for?

About the host

Hosted by Jeff

We just remodeled and updated our villa in 2018. This same year the Caribbean Reef Villa complex remodeled and updated its deck railings, new tile patios, decks and entryways. Extended 1st floor patios. Freshly painted the exterior of the building and freshly tiled the swimming pool. The landscaping both around the pool and around the front has been refreshed and upgraded. A new entrance and signage was added also.

Why they chose this property

Scuba divers paradise - Beginner to Expert.
Some of the best recreational scuba diving around. Many dive profiles to choose from such as shallow reef, deep water, drift, night, and cavern & cave diving in nearby cenotes. Cozemel wall diving is close by.

What makes this property unique

Small 21 unit complex isolated south of town with a very quite beach. Very relaxing in the morning for drinking your coffee by the pool and watching the sun rise over the Caribbean Sea. In the evening enjoy a cocktail while watching the cruise ships depart from the island of Cozumel and head to their next stop.
