Avis Stunning Oceanfront Mansion, HUGE Private Outdoor Space & Private Pool

We loved the large grounds and the convenience of the extra large pool and the ocean in your back yard. The location was private and quiet. It entertained our kids for the whole week. The house is a different story. It is large with lots of rooms and bathrooms, but the kitchen is very small and not really equipped for cooking and serving food. The washer/dryer didn't work. When it rained there were several leaks in the walls and ceiling. The water pressure in several bathrooms was so bad we only used 1/2 the showers. With some paint, repair and updating, the house would really shine. We did enjoy ourselves and appreciated the outdoor experience. If you don't have someone who speaks in your group it would make staying here difficult. The grounds keeper Hilario was great, attentive and helpful, just didn't speak English. Nor did any of the guards at the gate.

Five stars is not enough! Location location location!!!! Essentially a private white sand beach, crystal clear water, beautiful flora and fauna! Scenery was straight out of a movie. The caretakers were amazing. We came back from a long day on Isla Mujeres and they had picked coconuts from the trees on the property, husked them so that the fresh coconut water could be drunk! Bonus they were in the refrigerator so ohhhhhh soooooo cold and refreshing! Truly next level care for our party of 12! If you are looking for a private beach getaway hidden in the jungle with all the privacy, security and comfort…..this is the place! Can not wait to come back to paradise!!!!!

We booked this property since we had a wedding nearby. It is a lovely spot right on the ocean, with its own cenote. The place was private, clean, and had ample space for a large family or group of friends. Many beds available, A/C, swimming pool, options for chef and babysitters. Not super luxurious but that's not that the place is about. Would definitely recommend it, and may even look to book it again in the future.

Later I will review.

With one of my children in a wheelchair this is one of a very few beach options. Did not disappoint! Daniel is a perfect host and chef Ismael serves up tasty meals. Altogether a very good stay!!

everything was wonderful and better than expected. Highly recommend. Definitely get the chef!

We had 16 family members and we all loved the house and property. Wonderful place to relax. Great beach, lovely grounds with lots of quiet spaces to read and fun areas for kids to play. Helpful, friendly staff clean daily and take care of everything you need. Highly recommend adding the chef services. Amazing food at very reasonable prices. We started letting the chef pick all the meals bc everything was so tasty and it was nice to not even think about it.

The house was absolutely beautiful. It felt like a mini resort. It had everything that could possibly be needed. The host was very good at communicating with us. There were workers part of the property that would accommodate to all your needs. Definitely would recommend hiring the chef for lunch and dinners. The food was amazing. Overall had a great experience.

Our family of 15 just returned from an incredible 10 day stay at the Secret Jewel Beach Villa and can't stop talking about the fun we had. Even though the house wasn't new it had plenty of space and tons of "Mexican Charm". The EXTRA LARGE grounds, which were lit up at night, made you feel like you were in your own private oasis with your own private staff. There was ample room for everyone to enjoy. The property itself is centrally located on the beach between Cancun and Playa Del Carmen in a gated community with virtually NO PUBLIC access. Even the house was gated which gave us all an extra sense of security. This is one of those rare beaches that didn’t have vendors selling stuff. Privacy Plus!!!! Most of the living was done outside by the pool or under the gazebo that over looked our private beach and ocean. You could see for miles and listen to the waves crashing below. There was a private senote next to the hammocks if you wanted a quiet place to chill or swim. The separate games room and pool were far enough away from the house so those who went to bed early weren’t kept awake by the younger adults who stayed up into the wee hours of the morning. One of our best decisions was to hire the Chef a couple of times. Not only did he prepare two separate meals each day, but his staff cleaned up after each meal. Keep in mind there is a Costco & Walmart in Cancun if you need to shop. Otherwise, Puerto Morelos has two well stocked grocery stores (Aki & Chedraui) just 5 minutes drive north of the house. A rental car would be recommended for this location and is a great way to get around to see all the sights. Check online "driving in Mexico" before you go so you know the basic rules of the road. For those who are looking for the “night life” action, this is not the place for you. This is for people who want to get away from the crowds and enjoy the people you're traveling with. Thank You Daniel & Abraham for all your help, knowledge and hospitality. We truly had a spectacular time.

Had a magical stay at the Sea Jewel Beach Villas, where I celebrated my 40th birthday with eight of my friends. It was the perfect place to chill and connect, and the vibe was just my style. It is not a luxury villa — the house is a bit dated and there are bugs because you are in the jungle —but it is well kept and clean. The grounds were simply amazing. We loved the pool, and the beach-viewing platform. You have direct beach access and just need to walk a few steps away to reach a sandy area where it is easy to go go for a swim. From the photos, I was a bit worried that the beach and ocean would feel closed off, given the gates, but it absolutely was not. We experienced the beach fully from the villa. We also loved the feeling of security that came with a gated villa — we were able to lounge in the pool late at night without feeling like others could access the space. The grounds crew made us feel safe as well. This place is secluded — a bit in the middle of nowhere — so perhaps not an optimal choice for those wanting to be in the heart of town. Also, I gave the owner some feedback that I would have preferred some more proactive communication, particularly around the chef services as I was planning a birthday dinner the evening we arrived. I ended up using Uxata chef services instead, and it was perfect. Thank you, Daniel, for an incredible stay and a magical birthday experience! Tips - Bring ecofriendly sunscreen and bug spray - Bring reusable water bottles — the house has a big water dispenser that you can use to fill your bottles - Either pre-arrange your transportation or rent a car — car rental will likely be cheaper if you plan to go out - Be mindful that the staff on premises do not speak English. You can reach the owners via the app, and they are accommodating - There are dogs on the premises so if you have any aversion, tell the owners in advance so they can be locked up - Bring ziplock bags to house any food you want to keep in your rooms — food attracts ants. We had issues with ants in the bed after food was left in a room. - Be mindful that this is not a luxury accommodation (and nor is it at that price point) — it is completely lovely and magical, but you are in the jungle, there are bugs and the house itself is fairly dated (but clean and comfortable) - Hiring a chef service - either thru the villa or Uxata - is recommended. There are no restaurants “right around the corner” — the closest are about a 15 minute drive away.
