Avis Beach Front with Pool: Casa del Mar, Condo #4

We stayed in this apartment 6 years ago and when looking for a low stress trip to take from the US it made perfect sense to return to the same location and property we had stayed at previously. Off season, you basically have the pool and the beach to yourself; it is a gem. The property and pool are clean and well maintained. You can walk north and south along the beach for 25-30 minutes in each direction. The area is safe and clean. The town has grown a lot since we were last there; there is now a Chedraui supermarket in Puerto, more tourists, and more restaurants. The quality of the restaurants has declined (an abundance of Tex-Mex tacos) although there are a few places still worth a visit. For more authentic local food go across the highway to Villa Morelos. Don't miss the nearby La Ruta de los Cenotes. Cenotes Zapote was excellent.

My family of 4 enjoyed the condo, pool and beach. The condo has a pool and ocean view from the living room and patio. Its about 1.2 miles from town or a 5 $ cab ride. I usually gave the cab drivers 6 or 7 usd and they were pretty happy. The cab to the airport is 25 / 30 usd plus whatever you want to tip. When I found a nice driver I asked the cab driver for his phone number and texted him when I needed a ride, always replied 10 mins. Its nice not to have to find parking in town. The condo and town were very safe. The neighbors in the complex were extremely friendly and helpful. They live there full time and I would not plan on using this complex as a party spot as its pretty quite. My 3 and 5 year old loved the pool and beach and look forward to going back. Wifi was good, plenty of towels, well stocked kitchen. We would return. Hope this helps......

Because of the pandemic, we weren't able to take this trip, but we can't wait to get back!

The property is well located an easy short drive from the Airport, very quiet. Perfect place to enjoy the beach. Puerto Morelos is close and offers a lot to do. Tomas is taking care of the property grounds and always there if you have any questions or need anything. We don't really like the big hotel places so this appartment was perfect for us. In the week we met a few people from the neighborhood and learned a lot about the local life and the environment. We highly recommend this place to stay around Cancun area.

Our group of 4 stayed at Casa Del Mar #4 (ground floor unit) from Jan 21-29, 2019. The Unit was clean and cool upon our arrival. Other reviews mentioned the sounds from the washer/dryer conveniently located just steps from the door, but we didn’t notice that. The pool and grounds were beautifully maintained by Tomas the caretaker. Tomas was also helpful with any concerns we had. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and utensils. We love to cook, and prepared most meals at the condo. I would have appreciated real wine glasses and plates rather than the plastic ones provided. The owner, Steve Snyder was quick to reply to all communication that we had. We would definitely stay at Casa Del Mar #4 again.

Great condo and good location...private pool and quiet beach...having a car is very helpful but it is walkable to town by "beach" route. The owner of #4 unit was very helpful on a few issues that occurred during our stay.

My family loved the condo. The kitchen was well equipped and the decor was cute. We loved swimming in the evenings in the clean pool. The showers worked as intended and so did the AC. There is Direct TV and the TV's are up to date and working.

Condo was very nice, fully equipped and lovely. The grounds and pool are nicely maintained by Tomas who lives onsite and helped with anything we needed. But really, there’s nothing better than your own private white sand beach - simply amazing! The condo is about 30 minute walk from town, so a car, a bike, or lots of cab rides are required but the peace and quiet and private beach were worth it!

Great condo right on the beach! Easy to find and far enough away from the all-inclusive hotels for a tranquil and relaxing stay. We only used one bedroom, and the bed was comfortable. Plenty of space to put your clothes. The air conditioner works well, along with the ceiling fans. Very, very clean! Big refrigerator and gas stove/oven. The kitchen was well stocked with many utensils. If you enjoy cooking, this place will work for you. A big bottle of filtered water lasted most of the stay. The Dish television and WiFi worked great! There are two large supermarkets on the main highway that I purchased basic groceries. Went to Aki, which had better ratings, but it was still the basics. The taxi guy dropped me off and actually waited for me to take me back. I gave time 300 pesos for his time and trouble. He seemed very happy with it. The next day we asked him to pick us up and take us to Croco Cun zoo, and again he waited and dropped us off downtown after the tour. He charged 300 pesos. Nice beach right out back. Plenty of beach chairs and beach towels. We were approached by at least a dozen beach walkers wanting to know more about the property and price. We directed everyone to VRBO. We didn't use the pool as it was a little too cool and windy outside. But, it looked very clean and well maintained. There are 2 bathrooms. The master bath has fair water pressure. The smaller bath had less pressure. There is a shared washer and dryer right outside the entrance door. Worked well and we used it a few times. The noise from the laundry took a little getting used to, and most folks were thoughtful and didn't start a load until the morning. Lots of nice, quiet people renting here. This is a very good place if you have your own car, take taxi cabs or enjoy walking a lot. There is a phone right outside of the entrance door that you use to call a cab. They know the place well. It takes about 10 minutes for the cab to arrive. Most cabbies charge 60 pesos. If you find a cabbie you like and trust (most), get his card and call him directly. There is also the option to rent a bike for a few hours or days from the town center. I'd consider this place senior friendly. No stairs. Walk-in showers. Marble floor in shower very slippery. Steve, the owner was very helpful and all communications were professional with great customer service. We want to stay here again. Thanks to Steve for providing his place as a vacation rental. Much appreciated!

Everything was great.. will be returning..
