About this property

Villas Del Mar C 105, Best Location, True Beachfront, Luxury 2 BR Condo,

Villas Del Mar C105, otherwise known as Casa Kokai, is the single most popular two bedroom beachfront condo in all of Puerto Aventuras. It is in the perfect location. It is directly on the best part of the very best beach in PA, it is right next to the biggest pool in PA, it is in the very best condo complex, Villas Del Mar, and it is within very close walking distance to all the restaurants, the marina, the dolphins, the golf course, and everything else.

Puerto Aventuras is the crown jewel of the Riviera Maya. It is an incredibly beautiful, planned, gated beach resort community. It is the only location on the Riviera Maya with its own marina and so you will have easy access to dive boats, snorkel boats, charter fishing boats, yachts, catamarans, and other watercraft. There is also a dolphin encounter with over 20 dolphins, a sanctuary for manatees, and also sea lions and stingrays. It's almost like a mini sea world and it's all free. Of course if you want to swim with the dolphins or the manatees you pay a fee, but you can certainly watch everything for free. The dolphin area is lined with many restaurants and tourist shops as well as bakeries, drugstores, and small grocery stores. Because it is a gated and guarded community, The crime rate is extremely low, it's also quiet without any heavy traffic, or barking dogs. It is simply lovely...I call it PA Paradise.

My wife and I own two condos in PA, Villas Del Mar C105 (Casa Kokai) and Villas Del Mar C 205. Both condos have identical floor plans. Casa Kokai is on the ground floor, and VDM C205 is directly above it. The lower unit has the advantage of being directly on the beach with no need for stairs. The upper unit has the advantage of having a better breeze, better view, more privacy and it's quieter. Both condos were totally renovated within the last few years and they both have beautiful gourmet kitchen with granite counters new appliances and dining table with room for seven.

We have a separate utility room that contains a washer dryer a toilet and a sink. It offers the advantage of being able to close the door when the washer and dryer is on. Many of the other two bedroom condos don't have the utility room and so the washer dryer is in the kitchen and there's no extra toilet. Having the extra toilet when you have five or six people in the condo comes in very handy! We have 2 1/2 bathrooms and two bedrooms.

The master bedroom is truly masterful. It is quite large, in fact it's big enough to put down a king-size bed directly in front of the king-size bed and there would still be enough room to walk around. The master bedroom in VDM C105 ( as well as C 205) is bigger then any other master bedroom in the C building. The bedroom also has beautiful views in three directions. It has a king size bed and it has a chest of drawers with 16 different drawers, a dressing area, and a good size closet with a hotel safe. The master bathroom also contains a private Jacuzzi bath in addition to a shower. The second bedroom contains two full-size beds. In Mexico they call them matrimonial mattresses. The second bathroom has a shower. The second bedroom in Casa Kokai also has a sliding glass door leading to a step out terrace where you can quietly read or sunbathe or sleep in a hammock. It is the only private terrace that comes off of a second bedroom in the entire Villas Del Mar complex. The living room has two couches a flat screen high def TV, free Netflix and free wifi.

Please be sure to click on the YouTube video in order to see the beauty of the condo. If you can't get it via direct clicking through this website, simply Google VDM C105 YouTube. There are several videos including videos of the upper unit.

It's important to point out that the Villas Del Mar complex is the nicest condo complex ( by far!) in all of PA. It has a lot of green space, a very large two leveled pool, and a large private beach with powder white sand. The beach is beautifully maintained by our maintenance staff. The staff will also happily provide you with free lounge chairs and they can set them up underneath one of the palapas.

What is particularly important is that our beach directly in front of Villas Del Mar is fantastic for sunbathing, playing, swimming and snorkeling. The water is even safe for toddlers because we have a barrier that prevents the heavy waves from splashing a shower and washing out the beach. The barrier crates is warm lagoon with soft sand bottom that is perfect for playing and for swimming in shallow water. Beyond the barrier, there is superb snorkeling. As you walk down the beach heading south you'll come across other condo complexes including Quinta Maya, Quinta Sol, and Villas Del Mar 2. The beaches in front of these condos are much smaller, the sand is much coarser ( you will need sandals) and the water is not swimmable because it's way too shallow with a coarse rocky bottom. In other words it's impossible to swim off of those beaches. Please be aware that Villas Del Mar 2 is a totally separate condo complex from Villas Del Mar. It is much smaller, has a smaller pool, and a much smaller beach. The similarity pretty much ends with the name. Villas Del Mar (sometimes called Villas Del Mar 1) is more desirable and it is also much closer to all of the fun things in the marina area.

The beach directly in front of Villas Del Mar also has some of the very best snorkeling on the Riviera Maya. You do not have to go out in a snorkel boat to appreciate the reefs. You also don't have to purchase a wristband or pay for parking as you would need to do at Akumal or Xelha. Simply put on your mask fins and snorkel and paddle out until you get close to where the water is breaking. It will take you about 5 to 10 minutes to paddle out. The reef in this area is between 1 foot and 6 feet deep and so you will see the coral in all of its beauty with abundant fish life and you'll probably also see a few sea turtles and perhaps a stingray. I particularly like to do some night snorkeling. Simply go out with an underwater flashlight around twilight and snorkel for about an hour. You'll be able to see lobster, crabs, morays possibly cuttlefish. You can then come back to a hot Jacuzzi and a cold cerveza.

I bought these two condos beachfront condos in 1998 while they were being constructed. To this day, I am not aware of any other better two bedroom beachfront condos anywhere on the entire Riviera Maya.

Villas Del Mar C105

We had a great time during our stay. Having the pools and beach within a 1 minute walk from the unit was a big plus. It was aloo very convenient to have restaurants and the marina inside the community. The only thing that bothered me was the lack of a television in the main bedroom. We had a few hiccups the first day but Richard took care of everything within minutes. The kitchen was absolutely beautiful with plenty of space and beds were very comfortable. This is a great unit to rent. You open the patio door and you're looking right at the beach and if you look left you see the pools .everythingcovenientHarestaurants and the

Perfect location!

We were delighted by our stay in C105. Everything was perfect; location was ideal, Beach and pool were amazing, facilities are awesome…What a great trip! Only complaint was the prior individual who stayed and left dirty dishes in the oven, and towels and bedding in the wash, neither of which were the owner’s fault. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely property, Baumgaertners! All our best!

Loved it

The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. The only thing I never located was an iron. Richard, the property manager was helpful and prompt anytime we had a question and we appreciated him. This is a nice peaceful property if you’re looking for a calm, relaxing vacation. We would love to stay at the condo again in the future. And if I had not been obligated to go to Cancun to visit with my mother-in-law on this trip, I would’ve stayed longer. I definitely prefer this area over the busy craziness of Cancun.

We had a wonderful time during our stay at the Villa Del Mar condo. Everything was perfect including the location, the amenities of Puerto, and the condo itself. Being on the ground floor adjacent to the pool and beach was very convenient. We also felt very safe there due to the security of Puerto Aventuras.

Great vacation apartment

Came to the area for a friends birthday celebration. Everyone rented condos at villas del mar. Perfect location for a big group to get together. The resort was not crowded at all despite Easter weekend. Plenty of space around the pools etc. loads of restaurant and bar options, never had to wait for a table. Great beach. The apartment served very us well. Spacious with everything we needed, lots of bath and beach towels, beach chairs etc. good layout for hosting. Our only complaints were that the master mattress was very soft and lounge sofas are very worn and could do with being replaced but otherwise an excellent apartment in the perfect location and great value for money.

Great location!

We've always stayed in this condo community because of it's amenities and proximity to the marina! It's perfect for families with 2 large pools, and a semi private beach. The beach has a great break, so the kids can swim and enjoy the ocean without risk of strong waves. This condo is a perfect location within the community because it's so close to the pools and the beach.

Fantastic location! Condo needs some TLC

Overall we had a wonderful stay in PA. This condo’s location to the beach is truly 10 steps! The condo was clean...however the kitchen is in desperate need of replacing overall kitchen wear like knives, drinking glasses, and cook-wear. Most of the cook-wear had to be washed prior to use b/c it was not clean! There was not a matching set of drinking glasses of any kind, all mix match pieces. Many items such as forks, knives, coffee mugs and Tupperware like items appeared to be rinsed only and put back up like they were clean. Could not use the spa at all, in terrible condition. Bring your own beach towels b/c the ones in the unit are in down right deplorable condition! Furniture is dated and overall rough around the edges. The living room couch is like sitting on the floor b/c it sinks so far down and uncomfortable. In the guest bedroom my 17 year old daughter turned on the ceiling fan only for it to fall down about 12 inches luckily the wiring connection kept it from completely falling down and hitting her and her brother in the head. We took pictures and submitted it to property manager. Richard the manager was a delight and very helpful and willing to accommodate and answer questions. The local Restaurants in PA were very good, although we did not find them to be on the cheaper end when compared to prior stays Mayan Riviera dining. We will be back to this area but will look for other condos in better condition.

Perfect Location

We loved our stay at this condo! It’s literally just seconds from the beach which is absolutely beautiful. And It’s also only about a five minute walk to the restaurants and shops. We spent many days just hanging out on the beach and snorkeling in the cove. I would suggest bringing your own snorkel gear. The condo has everything out need for cooking and the beds were very comfortable. We often walked to the local grocery store which is across the highway-about a 3/4 mile walk. It’s much cheaper than the convenient store in PA. The property manager, Richard, picked us up at the airport (for a reasonable fee) which worked out very well. He was very responsive and helpful with our needs. James is also very helpful with questions and has lots of good information for your stay. As far as Covid is concerned, we felt very safe. Staff at the shops and restaurants were very good about wearing masks and sanitizing. Thank you James, Peggy and Richard. We will be back!

Christmas in Mexico

My family of six had a great time over Christmas and New Year’s staying in Puerto Aventuras. The location was perfect for all our activities. We loved having the beach footsteps away from the condo. Community felt very safe. The manager, Richard, was very responsive and helpful as was the owner, Jim. Our overall experience was 5 stars because of the amenities, the community grounds, the kitchen, and comfort of the condo. I gave 4 stars for cleanliness because of wear and tear has taken its toll over the years as some paint has peeled off, rust has formed, outside tub is not inviting and some of the snorkeling gear was broken and unclean. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this condo.

Best vacation!

This property rental exceeded our expectations on so many levels. First of all, it is directly on the beach. The beach is clean, not crowded, has chairs and palapas for shade. Pool is just steps away from condo too. The kids loved seeing the dolphins and eating at the restaurants in the community of Puerto Aventuras, I especially loved how safe we felt. The check in process was seamless and the condo had everything we could possibly need from beach towels, to a fully stocked kitchen, good internet connection and plenty of space. It was also so clean and comfortable. The property manager was very easy to get ahold of, super helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend staying here and hope to return.

Beach Bliss

The only vaguely negative thing I can say is the the pictures don't do this justice. It is RIGHT on the beach. The beach is private with its own loungers. It is also raked every day to ensure it remains pristine. The snorkeling in front on the condo is world class. My daughter and I saw a spotted eagle ray on a casual morning swim. Dealing with Jim is a complete pleasure. The house is well equipped and everything is provided for, and anything additional needed was sorted out quickly by Jaime, the property manager. Thank you.

Convenient grocery shopping and great restaurants. We ventured to Akumal but found the beaches busy and eager to get back to our own private beach. Snorkeled and swam in the ocean everyday.

About the host

Hosted by James Baumgaertner

Host profile image
My wife, Peggy, and I have been diving in Mexico since 1982. We live in Wisconsin and we love the Caribbean coast of Mexico. We bought two condos in Puerto Aventuras, Villas Del Mar C 105 and VDM C 205 in 1998. We also own a lakefront property in Bacalar on the southwest shore of Laguna Bacalar named Quinta Mai. We rent all three properties year round.

Why they chose this property

Simply stated Puerto Aventuras is the best location on the Riviera Maya. Villas Del Mar is the best condo complex in PA. The C building is the best building in the VDM complex because it's directly on the beach. Our two condos, VDM C105 and VDM C205, are the largest two bedroom condos in the C building and they are perfectly located with beautiful views of the beach and the pool. You simply can't do any better anywhere on the Riviera Maya!

What makes this property unique

Casa Kokai is directly on the best part of the best beach. There is jacuzzi on the large terrace, private jacuzzi bath in the master bathroom, a gourmet kitchen that was totally renovated in 2013. The master bedrooms in C 105 and C 205 are much bigger than any other master bedroom in the other two bedroom condos in the Villas Del Mar C building. The beach is the best in PA with powder white sand, great swimming, and fantastic snorkeling.
