10 STEPS OFF THE BEACH! "PERFECT!" IS A COMMON REVIEW OF OUR GORGEOUS 3BR/3.5BA

**Can rent as a 2Br/2.5Ba* Please inquire with owner.

Don't forget to read some of our 70+ five star reviews. "Perfect" is a common description and we’d have to agree!

Indulge in the ultimate beachfront experience at our meticulously crafted 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath condo in Puerto Aventuras. Nestled in a private building with only eight units, our ground floor haven provides unrivaled convenience, location, privacy, and value—just steps from the patio to the pool and a pristine, Mexican white sand beach with crystal clear, blue water. There's great water access for swimming and snorkeling just steps away. Bask in the comfort of our hacienda-style retreat, boasting a fully appointed, modern kitchen with granite countertops, hardwood cabinets, and a full array of quality appliances.

The dining room, adorned with custom furnishings, sets the stage for memorable gatherings around a table for eight. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking ocean views seamlessly integrated into our living space through large glass patio doors. Step outside on the beachfront patio and have the Riviera Maya become your living room. With comfortable seating, hammock, and separate dining table for eight, there's no better place to enjoy our seaside retreat. Step back inside and our LED smart TV, equipped with a Firestick and Netflix, ensures entertainment, while high speed Wi-Fi internet keeps you connected.

The master bedroom beckons with a massive hardwood king bed, complemented by a luxurious mattress and 800-count sheets. Storm shutters provide black out tranquility when desired, and waking up to the ocean view is a daily luxury. Bathrooms are all finished with high end materials including marble counter tops and showers with glass doors. Two equally spacious guest bedrooms each boast two queen beds with plush mattresses and bedding, plenty of closet space, TVs, and share a large patio.

With accommodations for 10 guests, our condo offers the perfect blend of space and style. Beyond the living quarters, discover a convenient laundry room with washer and dryer, outdoor seating, charcoal BBQ grill, and a rooftop patio offering unparalleled views—the crown jewel of our community.

Don't be fooled by some of the other listings advertised as "oceanfront". Sure, their massive COMPLEX may be oceanfront, but it's often a several hundred yard walk from their unit to the beach! Our place is also perfectly located just a two block walk from the marina, featuring many great restaurants, shopping, groceries, fishing, snorkeling or scuba, and sailing charters, as well as many other available activities. There's also a fantastic amount of fun awaiting withing walking distance from the condo, such as a regulation 9 hole golf course, lighted nine hole Par 3 course and driving range, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, outdoor workout area, children's playground, and walking/biking trails in the large Central Park. If relaxation is your game it's about a hundred yard walk down the beach to a beachfront bar and restaurant.

Escape the ordinary and make Puerto Aventuras your next destination. Bask in the year-round sunshine, turquoise Caribbean waters, and white sandy beaches, all within arm's reach from our thoughtfully designed beachfront haven. Your dream vacation awaits—reserve your spot today and I look forward to speaking to you about your stay!

Excellent beachfront condo

This is a wonderful condo, spacious and beachfront. The neighbors were lovely, great location, walking distance to lots of locally owned restaurants. Puerto Adventuras is a low key Mexican beach destination, and we loved it. The owner and property manager are very responsive and helpful, and Anivi helped us with grocery delivery so the condo was stocked before we arrived. Highly recommend! This is an excellent vacation rental.

Great stay in Puerto

We have been to Puerto many many times and this was the best location so far. Couldn’t have been closer to the beach. Town was super close, too. Loved that the building only had 8 condos. We were almost always the only ones at the pool and beach. It felt very private. Thanks for a great stay!

Lovely Condo

This condo is beautiful and directly on the beach. We liked that it was part of a small complex. We had the beach and the pool mostly to ourselves. The unit is steps away from the pool and beach. The furnishings are very nice and the kitchen is extremely well stocked.

Fantastic property in every way. Our 2nd stay here it’s just perfect for us. PA is a great vacation spot and everyone is so friendly. The only thing was there was a good bit of sargassum but not anything you can do about it. Didn’t diminish our vacation at all. We will be back maybe later this summer….

Our stay was amazing. The property was clean and had so many little details included. The town itself was so friendly and had multiple great restaurants and cute little stores. We loved going around the town on a golf cart. The grocery store was a short cab ride away. The filtered water and ice in the kitchen was fantastic. We loved having a washer and dryer as well. Snorkeling right outside the condo was absolutely amazing. We will definitely be back!

Another amazing stay in PA!

We’ve been to Puerto Aventuras multiple times and Real Del Mar is our favorite condo building. Location, beach access, pool, and layout are just the best for what we need. Being in the gated community and renting a golf cart to get around is so stress-free. The property manager, Anivi, is a gem - she was so helpful with grocery orders, birthday cake order, recommendations, etc. The owners for the condo reply quickly and efficiently. It honestly doesn’t get any better than waking from your condo straight to the pool and the beach. Literally just steps away! The condo is completely supplied with everything you need. Can’t wait to come back!

Best place ever~

We have been in the Cancun/Playa area for weekly vacations for the last 13 years. This year we all agreed this is the best area and condo so far. First of all Stephen was a great communicater and the few times I emailed him, he repsonded less then 24 hours. The area we have stayed for the last 5 years, as we love Puerto Adventures as it is quiet and laid back. This condo is perfectly located with the nice pool about a 10 foot walk from the condo and down the stairs to the white sandy beach and water. There is only 8 condos in this place and the neighbors were friendly and helpful for any information. The condo was huge. Each room was spacious and the pillow top beds were amazing. I must stay the dehumidifiers in each room made the stay comfortable as it provided constant noise and the rooms comfortable and cool. I can not say more good things about this stay.. home we will be back again!

Can’t beat the view and great overall location

My husband and I and our two teenage daughters (15&18) stayed here and each daughter brought a friend along. I was worried about having teenage girls in Mexico because I honestly just didn’t know how safe it would be. The community where this condo is felt very safe and I had no issues with the teenagers walking around and exploring the gated village at all. The condo is within walking distance of so many restaurants. We tried a different one every night! As the photos show, there’s no better ocean view that can exist. Owners were super communicative and gave so much helpful information about the region and the condo. I also found Puerto Adventuras to be a perfect location as we enjoyed many of the Xcaret parks. Plus being situated between Tulum and Playa del Carmen was perfect for other day trips, in addition to proximity to many cenotes. The other cities felt chaotic and congested to me but Puerto Adventuras and the area this condo is in just felt like a more relaxed speed.

A lovely view to wake up to every morning.

We were doing our first big family vacation since the pandemic so it was important. Having stayed in PA 8 yrs ago, we already knew it was a wonderful place for young kids. They were teens this time around and it was still lovely. We rented a golf cart for convenience and fun. It was delivered directly to the condo. Palapas, a hammock, beautiful beach, pool & landscaping, plenty of seating - the outdoors could not be better. Inside there’s TV’s & ceiling fans in each room, a modern kitchen, 3 1/2 baths, lots of water toys. The local staff were always very helpful as was the property owner. We were so very fortunate to have a turtle lay her eggs overnight on the beach directly in front of the property and to interact with the wildlife biologists. That was a trip highlight. They’ve promised to keep us updated. Our entire family was extremely happy with both the condo and being back in PA. We should not have taken so long to return.

Gorgeous

We stayed 7 nights at Real Del Mar in Puerto Adventuras.It was wonderful. This spacious condo was a perfect place for our family aged 6-77yrs old! We are a very active family, and we took advantage of Tulum ruins, different cenotes, and on my birthday, we experienced the dolphins. We loved the convenience of how close Real Del Mar is to the village. We loved the pool and the sea the beach so close. We felt very safe there. The condo itself is beautiful. We loved the outdoor dining table and the covered veranda outside this lovely home. The kitchen has all the gadgets needed to make what every we wanted. Oh, and the filtered water!!!! Thank you for providing filtered, safe, good tasting water both in the kitchen sink and the refrigerator water and ice. That gave us great peace of mind. We found some activities to play with both on the beach, in the pool and even lawn games. We loved the beach towels and found Amazon has them. Aniva is the property manager and is top notch! She addressed even our most menial needs and even found us a cook to come to the condo to cook us a wonderful traditional Yucatan peninsula meal. YUM! Thank you for offering your beautiful home away from home to others. A shout out to the hard work of the landscaper crew. One suggestion to perspective renters, bring water shoes to wear in the shallow rocky bottom water out front of the condo unless your feet are toughened. There is sandy bottom a few yards to the left.

Paradise south of Cancun

Nothing better than waking up to the sound of surf and having coffee on a lovely veranda looking out on the azure Mexican caribe over a semi private pool. Then enjoying the last remnants of daylight with a margarita in hand, on the private pristine beach with amigo’s. This ground floor condo was immaculate, well furnished with a lovely outdoor dining table and comfortable outdoor furniture. The beds were great, which is important for us “senior” travelers. All the amenities had been considered for hospitality and entertaining a small group. Great to have reverse osmosis- in the past we were hauling drinking water all the time. Stephen had everything covered- including some great suggestions for airport transportation and Covid re-entry. Seamless. Communication was “ easy peasy”. PA is a busy area now, but the unit is private and luxurious. Access to the Marina/village was excellent. The bay offered swimming, snorkeling, surf fishing, charters , and one windy day there were dozens of kite boarders out! Hard to find fault. If there was one think I’d complain about it was the dishwasher…take this with a grain of salt ;-) ocean living is definitely hard on appliances. We’re hoping to return asap to the same property. BTW…Take advantage of the golf cart! Well worth the extra $$. The guys were running back and forth for Corona’s and limes from the markets every day.

Amazing stay in Puerta Aventuras!

Our family stayed here for 8 nights over Thanksgiving - I think it was even more beautiful than the pictures - which doesn't happen often with rentals! Spacious, beautiful, well thought out floor plan, GORGEOUS ocean views from all public areas of the condo. You literally can't get any closer to the ocean. Even with 9 people there (6 adults, 1 teen and 2 kids) - there is plenty of room to spread out and with TV's in each room and a separate back patio - if someone needed down time, it was easily found. Kitchen was top notch - there wasn't one cooking item we needed that wasn't there. Every bedroom has it's own private bathroom, beautifully done and the hot water never ran out AND they all had great pressure. There was also a 1/2 bath near kitchen which was really nice. The complex itself was only 8 condos - we basically had the pool to ourselves the entire week. When we did see neighbors, they were very friendly. Moe was the caretaker for the entire building and was there every morning keeping the pool, grounds and beach beautiful and a very nice guy. Easy walk to marina, having a golf cart was fun (but not needed because it was all so close) - the kids loved driving around on it. Easy walk up beach to Omni for afternoon drinks and/or lunch. We rented a paddleboard for the week from GoPaddle365, you could also rent kayaks by the hour at the Omni. Only 'cons' would be: thought there could have been more dishes...what was there were beautiful but if I remember correctly, it was a service for eight so we had to constantly wash the plates and not sure how old the mattresses are but they seemed a little sagging. Neither was anything that would keep me from renting the unit again...I have stayed in PA 3 times and this will be my go to from now on - blew the other two places I've rented away!

Great family vacation! We'll be back!

First off, the condo location is awesome! The beach is perfect for playing in the sand, snorkeling or just lazing around. The Omni hotel is close so you can go there and get a meal or a drink on the beach. There is a small town a short walk away where you can pick up general groceries from the store, grab a great meal from the many restaurants and even swing with the dolphins at the Dolphin Experience. We loved the Pub for drinks and appetizers, the gelato place was amazing (the one next to the Pub) and the Italian Restaurant was really good! There is also a great local breakfast spot right outside of the gates of Puerto Aventuras called Arbalito and it was so good. They have breakfast tacos, fresh smoothies and Mexican coffee. You need to get there early since they close at 11 am. Also be sure to check out Bamboo for their great breakfast and fresh made Empinadas. The condo itself was very nice and well appointed. We had 6 people and we never felt crowded and had plenty of room to spread out. While you'll spend most of your time on the beach side of the unit, there is a very nice patio on the back that you can get some quiet time and hang out with the local kitty cat who roams around the area. There were a couple of issues which should be expected when staying at a condo on the ocean but they were quickly addressed by the owner and local property manager. They were both great to work with and made the booking experience easy. The property manager was also able to give a recommendation for a woman who came and prepared a meal for us at the condo. It was fabulous and would highly recommend you treat yourself to this experience. The woman did all of the shopping, cooking and even cleaned up afterwards. We didn't rent a car but did rent a golf cart from Bruno (Carrito Tech) which was a great way to get around the area. We were able to drive the cart to the Colleta on the other side of the community and it provided great swimming and snorkeling. We ended up hiring a driver for a day trip to the ruins and beach in Tulum. This is a must! We used Memo from Memo Tours and he was very knowledgeable and provided a nice vehicle for us to ride in and and called ahead for reservations at a local restaurant for us. We took a cab to Playa del Carmen a day trip and it was ok but we preferred the quiet of Puerto Aventuras, Tulum and Akumal (where you can swim with the turtles in the bay). It was an amazing trip. Thank you Stephen for letting stay in your home!

I Can't Wait To Go Back!

We had a fabulous time at this property! Everything in the condo looks brand new and top of the line. The pictures do not do it justice. Everything is clean and new - it looks like a model/show house! It is literally steps to the beach. The view of the ocean from both the master and the living room of this condo was fabulous - I can't even imagine it being any better! And if you have teenagers, there is a huge back balcony/patio for them to hang out on as well! We really loved staying on the ground floor. It was so easy to grab our gear and just walk right out the sliding glass doors and take 5 steps to the pool or 15 steps right past the pool and onto the beach! The ocean can't be more than 30 steps. No more lugging stuff up and down elevators or stairs! My kids spent hours upon hours snorkeling in the ocean right in front of the condo. Plenty of fish and marine life to see right there. The water was practically like glass most of the time we were there and you had to swim pretty far out before it got very deep at all so I wasn't ever worried about the kids swimming in the ocean. Don't waste your money on a snorkeling trip when you can see it all right there! When they were not snorkeling, the kids were in the pool (very clean) and when they needed some time indoors the owners had board games available to keep the kids busy! The property is very low occupancy; I believe it is only 8 units or so. It was not overcrowded AT ALL. It often felt like we had the whole complex to ourselves! The people we did meet all seemed to be owners and were super friendly and nice. The complex is inside a gated community where you have to stop at a guard gate to get in and to get out and we felt very safe everywhere. There are many restaurants within walking distance at the marina where there is also a huge complex where you can swim with the dolphins and watch seal shows (a definite must for the whole family!). We walked everywhere we wanted to go within Puerto Aventuras. We even chartered a fishing boat right out of the marina. A big grocery store is outside the gates about a third of a mile down the road. It made it so easy to run there to get whatever we needed (I'm always sending the hubby out to pick up some ingredient I have forgotten for dinner). I love to cook and the kitchen has very nice cookware and anything you could possibly need to whip up a great meal. Not a cook? Walk to eat! Bottom line: quit looking elsewhere! It can't get any better than this place.
