For the last 15 years, Casa Del Sol has been the vacation home where countless friends and families have made their best memories.

From the moment they walk through the front door and set eyes on the view through our wide-open window walls, they’re hooked. Their eyes try to take it all in as they make their way through open concept living room and dining area, pausing to admire the expansive kitchen, its large, welcoming island, and two (yes, two) full fridges, then out onto the verandah where they can see their whole group will enjoy their meals every day.

Three steps up to the pool deck and they are speechless.

The large infinity pool that seems to merge with the ocean beyond, is unparalleled. When they realize that they only have to take the few steps down for their own private access to the beach, they can’t believe it. They can see themselves sitting on the loungers situated in our personal beach area, and taking dips in the cool ocean. They can also see themselves listening to music, laying on the pool-side loungers, and enjoying each other’s company as the day unfolds.

With a longing look at the view, they pass through the kitchen - once again admiring the family-style kitchen (and they haven’t even seen inside the cupboards yet!) as they head off to view the rest of the house. They see the powder room located near the front door, and then step into the main floor bedroom with its king-sized bed, ensuite bathroom, and easy access to the living areas. If they haven’t claimed that room then they head up to the second floor and are immediately greeted by the “kids’ zone” where they see children’s movies, games, and colouring books. The teens among them already have their eye on the blockbuster movies and comfy couches.

To the left they see an open door. Again, a king-sized bed in a large room with an ensuite; and are those bunk beds in the corner? The groups that come with young kids head on in there to unpack and unwind.

The rest continue to the right where they find the cheerful courtyard bedroom with its king-sized bed, cozy settee, and ensuite bathroom.

Maybe they continue from there to see what the beach rooms looks like, discovering not one master bedroom, but two. Sharing an expansive terrace, the first master, also with its king-sized bed and ensuite, has a couch that can be pulled out for those with little ones who aren’t yet ready to sleep alone. But then they walk through the double glass doors and suddenly they’re looking over the pool and the ocean. Once again, that amazing, breathtaking view!

If they can pull themselves away from there, they can check out the second master bedroom with – you guessed it – a king-sized bed, small desk space (who on earth is going to be working??) and its ensuite. The glass door access to the verandah and the lounge chairs for both rooms, as well as conversational seating is something they missed! How? Well, there’s that view again…

If they’re a bigger group, then they might have rented the third floor as well – “The Oasis”. They’ll come to the top of the stairs and be greeted by an expansive bedroom suite with its own sitting area, king bed, ensuite, and private access to the third-floor terrace and it’s comfortable seating under the shade of the pergola.

And that’s where they’ll get a little stuck, because the view from up there, the cool ocean breeze, and the sudden realization that this is ALL theirs, will stop them in their tracks. They’ll need a moment to regroup.

Of course, for those who don’t need that third floor, they still make their way up to the third-floor terrace via the outside stairs and, well, they get stuck too.

If we can lure the big group back in, then we can show them the seventh bedroom, tucked around the corner, with its quirky powder room access, private use of the ensuite and, of course, that king-sized bed!

Over the next 24 hours, they’ll realize they have an outdoor grill, six bikes, strollers for anyone small, pack n’ plays for anyone smaller, and a wagon for everything in between. They’ll see the pool light up for those late-night swims, they’ll discover they have access to the most expansive TV satellite system imaginable (US, Canadian, AND British shows?? Every sporting game they didn’t want to miss while they were away??), that the Wi-Fi is strong enough for everyone to be streaming, that the kitchen is ridiculously equipped with everything they could possibly want… including a dishwasher!!

Once they’ve settled onto the pool deck loungers, they see the sheer volume of floats, pool toys, and sand toys available to them; they realize they can play Bocce Ball, “Corn Hole”, frisbee, and football. And wait, are those kayaks??

When it’s time to eat, if they haven’t had Nina prepare an authentic Mexican meal for them, they amble 12 minutes down the beach to work up an appetite. They can barely manage to choose which restaurant to go to, there are so many amazing options. Should they visit La Sirena and listen to their live band? Or maybe head down the road to one of the authentic Mexican restaurants all along Niños Heroes Street or Rojo Gomez. Whatever they choose, the walk back is beautiful, along the quiet and safe beach, or via the road (or a taxi, of course, when the wonderful cuisine has made that necessary).

Throughout their entire trip they are so glad to know that Roberto, our Property Manager for all 15 years – who knows the house as well as (and maybe better than) his own – is just a message away. They love having Enrique – and Adrian and Alex, too – there each day to help get kayaks into the ocean, set up more loungers on the beach, blow up those extra pool toys, prep the bikes, and maybe grab some ice when they run out. And Rosy is there mid-week, of course, ready to tidy and clean, make beds, and sort out that kitchen.

They may have met with Tomas of Lighthouse Tours and chosen some amazing adventures to go on. Or perhaps they booked Gabriela to come and give everyone a massage on the verandah. They may even have reached out to Mina to set up a private yoga session on the pool deck.

Whatever they chose, from the moment they walked in, they were hooked. They knew they would have the time of their lives; they knew that this was a house purpose-built for making memories. And they knew – 100%, without a doubt – that they would be back.

Come make your own memories at Casa Del Sol. Get hooked. You'll be glad you did.

Perfect Vacation

First Name: Joni (Private Review)

Date of Stay: May 2016

Casa del Sol is absolutely heaven!  3 couples went down in June and we had the best time and the house was just perfect.  There is nothing better than having coffee by the pool and watching the sun rise over the ocean.  There are plenty of beach activities for anyone wanting to play volleyball or snorkel.  We snorkeled, we swam, we played volleyball and walked along the beach.  Every night we rode bikes into town for dinner and tried a new location out each night. Habaneros is a favorite.  The kitchen in the house was where we all gathered and we stayed so active that the TV never came on.  Highly recommend this beautiful house on the beach and the infinity pool was a welcomed refresher after being in the sun all day. If you dive, there is a Padi shop just up the beach (walkable) and they are terrific.
 

Best Vacation Ever

 

 

Great Beach House

Nikki G. (Online)

This place does NOT disappoint! It was everything our group of 8 friends (ages mid 20s to early 30s) could need. The house was beautiful, much larger than expected and very well kept. The pool was our favorite part as it was clean (the crew cleans it every day!) and large enough for a big group. Automatic waterfalls and lights that turn on during the day/night. Everyone was so helpful from the beginning- questions we had, booking it, transportation, and everything along the way. We did experience some rainy days while we were there, but the house had plenty to do and the book of information that was provided was helpful in finding some good activities (highly recommend the Jungle Spa - amazing!). Booking snorkeling was very simple and they pick you up on the beach in front of the house! Excursions are at an affordable price as well.

The beach is well maintained and you can walk either way down the beach to explore new parts of the town. The town is very safe and filled with amazing food. We loved the bikes that we could take into town as well! Friendly staff and locals everywhere we went. The grocery store was convenient for groceries throughout the week.

Do not hesitate to book this property! Meta and Jerry are so easy to work with and it will be worth every penny. Great for many ages, wonderful location and a beautiful, well maintained house! I can't wait until we can come back again sometime!

We stayed at Casa del Sol in September and discovered a little piece of heaven! The house is even prettier than the pictures. There were 5 of us on a girls trip. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom. The beds were very comfortable, as was the entire house. Meta and Jerry equipped the home with every amenity a renter would need for a great stay. Meta made the entire process from renting the home, recommendations on transportation (USA Transfers), restaurant recommendations, to returning the deposit, so easy. She even sent a friend down the beach to check on us! All the people we encountered in PM were kind and friendly. The staff at the house, Roberto, Adrian and Reyna, ensured our stay was hassle free. Someone in a prior review recommended having Nina cook early in the week, which we did, and we had great food left over for several days afterwards. In our search in town one afternoon for A/C, we discovered a jewelry store right off the square - ARTESANIAS AMBAR. The owners, Axel and his wife Rosalinda, were delightful. We purchased jewelry at a great price, and made some good friends along the way. I can't finish this review without mentioning the most amazing pool at the house. We spent everyday floating in the pool, which overlooked the beautiful ocean. We all agreed that this was the best, most relaxing vacation we have ever had. I love Casa del Sol (and Casa Margarita) and will be back again and again!

Outstanding Vacation

Mike - Virginia  (Online)

We recently spent a wonderful week at Casa del Sol and have already signed up again for next year. Over the years we have had many nice vacations but this is the first time we want to return to the same spot. There were nine of us (five adults, 4 children) and we all enjoyed the beautiful house, pool, beach, town, and restaurants. The owners are very easy to work with and truly care about their renters.

Rather than repeating all the kinds words found in the other reviews (although we agree with them), I thought it would be useful to comment on some questions we initially had.

Car Rental. There is really no need to rent a car. You can get reasonable transportation from and to the Cancun airport (we used USA Transfers and were very satisfied) and cabs are inexpensive and reliable to go grocery shopping. The town and its many restaurants are an easy walk from the house. If you use USA Transfers (or something similar) be sure to bring the house address and directions. Although Casa del Sol is listed on their website, the drivers were unfamiliar with it.

Snorkeling. Right off the house the water is very clear once you get out about 20 feet. There is enough to see to not be bored. But, there is a GREAT snorkeling spot off the beach that is about a 10-minute walk. When you get to the house, ask Roberto (the property manager) and he will tell you where it is. Of course, taking a boat out to the reef is even better.

Diving. We did two days of diving during the week. We used Wet Set Diving and they were wonderful. They are a 10-minute walk from the house. We also did the Akumal swim with the turtles through them and it was a great trip. Swim with the turtles in the morning and then a swim in a cenote in the afternoon. The cenote swim was the highlight. We did not use wetsuits on this trip for the diving or the snorkeling and did not need them.

My Paradise Bar. About a three-minute walk down the beach is a wonderful bar – My Paradise Beach Club. There are other bars but this was by far the best – very friendly people, great food, and good prices.

Dinner at home. We had Nina cook us dinner one night and the food was wonderful. We all agreed that it was the best guacamole we ever had. If you do this, do it at the beginning of the week and you will have lots of food to snack on throughout your stay. We did it toward the end and had too much food left over.

A piece of Heaven

Dorothea E. - Casper, Wyoming (VRBO)

We rented Cas del Sol for a family vacation with our adult children and Grandchildren. It was a wonderful home. The house in person is even better than the pictures! We loved everything about it. The property manager was so helpful. The owner was also very wonderful to work with. We have already planned on going back.

Top Notch VRBO Experience!

Corrine N. (VRBO)

I recently made my 3rd strip to del Sol and it was better than ever! Here's why a week at Casa del Sol is simply the best! Puerto Morelos (PM) is so easy to get to and has the same great weather as Cancun and Playa. PM offers the Mexico experience without all of the tourist traps or tourists! Great restaurants, shops (fresh tortillas, bread, seafood), artists (art fair on the square is great) and people!

Del Sol is a fabulous setup providing top notch accommodations inside and out. You have private patios, pool, covered decks (great massage spot), sun deck (to get that late afternoon sun) and beach. The view is 24/7 (yes even at night ... you can watch the ships moving, enjoy the sound of the surf or simply do some star gazing).

The del Sol staff makes it easy. Between the house manager, transportation service and grocery shopping service all we needed to do is show up and enjoy our vacation.

Muy Bien!

Diego - Bloomington, MN (VRBO)

What more can I say than the other reviews - or what I wrote last year? Casa del Sol will quite simply be the best vacation home you will stay in. The house and grounds are immaculate and the entire staff goes out of their way to ensure every need is met. Puerto Morelos is an awesome little town - it'll be hard to leave this beautiful house but be sure to get out and visit the locals. If you do only one thing be sure to see the band at Harbanero's.

This year we had Lisa pre-shop for us and I highly recommend that since it accelerates you in getting out to the beach as fast as possible. Kitchen is awesome - outdoor grill is perfect for the fresh seafood you can buy up on the square. We also had Martina come to the house and she put her massage table up on the second floor deck - talk about a relaxing massage. Book your time at this gem today!

Beautiful home in a fantastic town with amazing beach

Wendy Shediac - New Brunswick, Canada (VRBO)

20 of us just spent a week renting Casa del Sol and the home next door - Casa Margarita.

Absolutely fantastic location. Great snorkeling from the beach and absolutely amazing snorkeling if you take one of the tour boats out from shore for around $25 per person, don't miss this! The beach is fantastic right out front of the house, but if you prefer pools this house also has a beautiful pool and deck area. Absolutely loved how you could fully open the doors from the kitchen and living room to the outside pool area, really outdoor living!

15 minute walk to town with many choices of restaurants. Kitchen was well equipped, we had breakfast and lunch at the houses every day and went out for dinner. Were thrilled to have 2 double fridges in the kitchen. The new big grocery store in town is a great bonus, less than a $3.00 cab ride to the highway where the store is located.

The houses are located on a quite side street, but we always felt safe walking back after dinner in the evening. You will find lots of people walking back down the middle of the street to their condos and homes. The homes also come with bikes for you to use, literally a 2 minute bike ride into town to pick up ice or whatever else you may run out of.

I cannot recommend this property enough, but if you are interested do book early, it sells out quickly. Meta is very easy to work with and very prompt at answering any questions you may have. I hope to be back one day soon.

PARADISE

Cindy L. (VRBO)

Our family spent a week at Casa Del Sol. What a perfect piece of paradise. The house was more beautiful than we expected. Pictures do not do it justice. Everything was perfect. The staff was amazing and made sure we had everything we needed. Roberto even made a special delivery of some Wasabi...so appreciated. The rooms were large, spacious and beds comfy. The kitchen is huge. Lots of dishes, pots, pans etc. Meta was a pleasure to deal with and answered any emails in very short order. This is a MUST stay place. Thanks Meta and Jerry for making our family Christmas get away so special. Oh Yes! We even had a beautifully decorated Christmas tree waiting for us when we arrived.

The Perfect Vacation

Penny P. - Brockville, Ontario (VRBO)

Our family of 12 ranging in age from 3 to 81 just spent a week in paradise - Casa del Sol in Puerto Morelos. We enjoyed the beach, the pool, the bicycles, the patio and balconies and all the amenities. The large kitchen meant that we could prepare our meals easily and kids could make snacks whenever they wanted to. The staff was most helpful - arranged a snorkeling trip and answered questions and looked after all our needs. The town is close enough to walk to on the beach or even quicker is to ride a bike. Taxis can take you further afield but we spent most of our time at the house. Pictures online are exactly how it looks - immaculate and beautiful with lots of homey touches. Casa del Sol is probably the nicest place we've ever stayed in and we're already planning to go back.

Perfect Dream Vacation Casa del Sol Puerto Morelos Mexico

Dale W. - Punta Gorda, FL (VRBO)

My wife and 4 friends sent 11 days at Casa del Sol. We have traveled to many places over the world and rented homes before in Mexico. Casa del Sol had to the greatest of all of the rentals we have experienced. The home was outstanding with a wonderful interior of 5 bedrooms, all with their own bath, a additional powder room. A large kitchen with a large counter that we 6 could enjoy our meals together. You had a view from 3 floors of the pool, beach and ocean. Roberto the property manager and his staff were outstanding. Taken quick action on any of our questions or needs. The villa is located a short walk to town.(10 minutes) Puerto Morelos is a small town with great restaurants, bars and very friendly town people. When you are at the villa make sure you have Nina make you a Mexican dinner and Lisa cook you a dinner that will rival any fine restaurant.

Meta & Jerry our hosts took great care of our arrangements and answers all the questions we had about Casa del Sol, the town and things to do. We are planning on returning next year.

You will not be disappointed with your stay ay Casa del Sol

Incredible home, breathtaking view, and wonderful experience!!

Kelley - Indianapolis, IN (VRBO)

What can I say about Casa del Sol ot her than (despite the great pictures we'd already seen of the home on VRBO), it far exceeded any expectations we ever had!! The house was UNBELIEVABLE--every amenity, every need was anticipated! The pool and the view were to die for--simply breathtaking!! Words cannot describe the beauty you behold when describing them- and pictures so not do them justice!

We consist of two families who have vacationed together every year for the past 12 years. We've used VRBO to book vacations for the past 7 years and have always had good booking experiences and great vacations. However--I must say that Casa del Sol was BY FAR the most beautiful home we've been to yet! One can tell that Meta (the owner) prides herself on making sure that each renter has the best vacation experience. Roberto- the property manager, was always available to help in any way--which was very comforting to have while vacationing in a different country! Adrian and Reina- the grounds keeper and housekeeper, were also of tremendous help, as they were there to maintain the grounds and home. All three were just SO very nice and helpful--we never had a want or need for anything due to them! It truly felt like a relaxing and restful vacation!!

The quaint town of Puerto Morelos was absolutely wonderful--great shops, great restaurants, and great people! We loved walking into town every evening for dinner and we also enjoyed shopping and bartering in the little stores and talking with the town's locals. Everyone was so friendly!

If you would like a vacation that is second to none-- with every need met and every expectation surpassed, then I highly recommend Casa del Sol! We definitely would like to return someday--the sooner the better! Thank you Meta, Roberto, Adrian, and Reina for an AWESOME vacation experience!

Great Home, Great Management, Great Staff, Great Town, Great Beach, Great Pool, Great Week!

RollTide16coming - Denver, CO (VRBO)

We have rented a lot of VRBO homes over the years (many in Hilton Head, South Carolina and the Gulf Shores area of Alabama) and always had good experiences, but last week was truly Great! Great home, Great Management, Great staff, Great Town, Great Beach, Great Pool and I could go on and on....

If we were arranging our trip again, we would have brought binoculars, one of the only things we left at home that would have been nice to have to watch the passing boats and water activity. Casa Del Sol had everything we needed, and we appreciated the cleanliness and organization and thoughtfulness that your family and Roberto and the staff have clearly put into the home.

Nice things we did not really expect but appreciated - great beach towels, real wine glasses, plenty of dishes and cookware for a crowd, American TV (we watched several football games and the World Series), house supplied trash bags, dishwasher detergent, bottled water, toilet paper and hand soap (we left a bit of all of these as we purchased before arrival these items except water). Chedraui, the new local big grocery store - lots of selection and so handy!!!

We had a beautiful meal on Sunday night prepared by Nina (Roberto's connection). She cooked a great chicken dish, with rice, beans, tortillas, salsa, salad, guacamole, and chicken taquitos - beautiful dinner we enjoyed and we had enough of all the side dishes for another meal with salsa and tortillas for the week! We loved purchasing fresh seafood in town and grilling (in foil) fish and lobster at home. We loved a nice dinner in town at John Gray's, also enjoyed Cantina Habanero, Los Gauchos and Las Palmeras. Eating in was fun, but eating out was great (no dishes, no cooking, and the taxi service is super-fast and very affordable at 25 pesos each way to town).

The kids loved the freedom of hopping on a bike and going for breakfast or lunch at Pelican's, the bread bakery, and the coffee shop on the town square. We all enjoyed the convenience of Unico for an easy beverage on the beach or a light snack. Most all of us used the massage tent on the beach and had good experiences. Our entire crew of 10 went deep sea fishing (no luck fishing, but a nice boat ride), snorkeled at the reef and also snorkeled the "obstacle course" on the route to town on the beach.

Puerto Morelos is a real treasure, perfect sleepy family town -- we felt so safe (we did lock up valuables in the safes at Casa Del Sol) and had such a nice relaxing

Perfect beach vacation-cannot wait to go back!

Joni - Atlanta, GA (VRBO)

The newly renovated beach home is absolutely beautiful, especially with the new glass doors which open up the entire oceanfront side of the house. We had a wonderful trip during the week of Mexico Indepence Day. Our crew had a small rental car, so we ventured to Chitzen Itza (about a 2 hour trip from Puerto Morelos), to Cancun and to Playa del Carmen. Habeneros was our favorite local eatery and La Playaita just off the square had the best fish by far. Love Casa del Sol and Puerto Morelos and cannot wait to go back!

Absolute dream vacation!

Lisa - Atlanta, GA (VRBO)

My girlfriend and I came to Casa Del Sol with great expectations of a vacation to remember. As we arrived in the gated courtyard and walk to the entrance way of our rental, when the door came open it was beyond my wildest imagination. I felt like I was celebrity on TV in those homes that you can only imagine being in. The most gorgeous accommodation you could ever imagine.

We spent a week there and rode bicycles all over the little fishing village where people were so kind and hospitable. We dined at several local restaurants and had fresh fish from the ocean sautéed and cooked in the most perfect ways. Quaint Mexican restaurants served up some of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten.

The home was equipped with thick beach towels, lovely linens every, bedroom has its own private bathroom. The housekeeper and groundsman came by every day to check to make sure everything was okay and even came back by in the evening to pull our chairs up from the beach. I have traveled and stayed in many beach houses and none of them could compare to this one. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to have the most relaxing beautiful vacation!

Thank you for the opportunity it was unforgettable!!

EPIC Vacation ... EPIC, I say!!!

James r. (VRBO)

Everything about this house and the town was fabulous. The house is incredibly spacious. The view from the rooftop is awesome, the pool and beach are spectacular. The beds are crazy comfortable. Between the comfort of the beds, the breeze and the smell from the ocean, I slept like a rock every night. We left the A/C off and the door to the second floor back patio open every night.

I made great use of the bikes, going to the fresh fruit stand every day to stock up on fruit and vegetables, bought fresh tortillas from the tortilleria in town or any other supplies we might need.

We did almost no cooking on this vacation even though the kitchen and the grill outside are great. One thing I would do differently is ... cook even less than we did - like not at all! (Except maybe breakfast) This town has some great restaurants and it is affordable, so I would recommend eating dinner out every night. I found some great places to get takeout from as well for lunch, and as I stated already the local fruit stand is a great place to stock up for breakfast and snacks, etc.

While the house is very walk-able from the town center we learned quickly that it pays to just call for a cab. The phone at the house has a button to call for a cab ... you call and ask for a cab, and they are there 4 minutes later ... it is well worth the inexpensive fare, especially if you are travelling with kids or older family/friends. I made the walk several times, but ... 2 bucks for a carload is hard to argue with.

Some notes for those who might be wary of staying anywhere other than the big all-inclusives:

- This town provides a very good mix of friendly locals as well as folks in from parts north. If you enjoy getting some local flavor this is the place for you.

- We felt completely safe at all times. Everyone we met was fantastic

- If you have someone in your group that speaks a little spanish it helps, but you can get along just fine without any.

- You do not need a car. Cabs are readily available. From a finance perspective if you plan to leave town often to explore AND you feel comfortable driving in MX, then renting a car might be cheaper, but you can purchase excursions and/or take cabs just about anywhere you want to go

Stay here, you will never regret it.

We will be coming back to Puerto Morelos again I have no doubt. Now I just need to figure out a way to fill this house again because I don't think my wife will tolerate staying anywhere else!

Treat Yourself to a First Class Vacation Home Stay

Helene W. (VRBO)

This home is absolutely a AAA - 5 Star - #1 place to stay. We found everything in first class condition and plenty of all the supplies you could think of - dishes, cookware, utensils, towels, pillows, etc. The space of the living room and kitchen is wonderful and the bedrooms and bathrooms were all huge and spacious. The beds are extremely comfortable and plush that we want to change ours at home when we return to continue the "vacation feeling" longer. The sliding glass doors give you a beautiful view across the beautiful pool - beach - and ocean. The first breathtaking view from the front door is magnificent. This ranks as our #1 most restful and most beautiful vacation destination so far in our world travel.

Roberto is an excellent property manager and so very helpful and available with just a push of the "red phone button. He was there to great us upon arrival and helped unload the car with the groceries and luggage - then showed us around the home and how everything works.

Adriane and Reyna were also very sweet and helpful when we needed things - like a machette blade to open some fresh coconuts we bought - The flowers and pool area were kept immaculate every day for us to just relax and enjoy.

This was a great time of year to visit as the weather was breezy and not too humid - and it was not crowded yet with summer vacationers.

Meta - the owner - was also very professional to work with and answered emails and requests/inquiries promptly and with great information.

We are already planning to return next year at the same time if possible -

A truly restful and relaxing vacation and a first class trip for all of us

Try it and you will see for yourselves !

Great place in a great town

Brian B. (VRBO)

Great home that has been completely remodeled. Beautiful beach right out front and a very short walk to town. The owner is awesome. She contacted me before we went to make sure we had a ride from the airport and made a great and inexpensive recommendation for a shuttle service that allowed online booking for both a ride to and from the airport. Then when one of the kids forgot his phone she arranged for the next guest to bring it back to the states and mail it back.

On site manager and staff are super helpful. Bikes are provided and we never felt we needed a car. We will be back.

FANTASTICO!! Best property I have ever stayed at!

Kip P. - Lakeville (VRBO)

If you think the pictures are nice, the real thing is even better! The views, sounds, smells, and comfort are exactly what I wanted (and received) when I stayed at the Casa del Sol. This house is luxurious, and has everything you need to relax and unwind. The owner, caretaker, maids and lawns crews took care of our every need from guiding us off the plane to making us a HUGE tasty dinner. We will definitely be back (with and without kids!)

Casa del Sol! The perfect winter getaway!

fourgirlsandaguy - MN (VRBO)

Everyone in the winter States should be as lucky as us to have just spent 7 wonderfully warm days at del Sol! The extensive makeover makes del Sol better than ever. One couldn't ask for anything more for ameneties or living space.

With a fabulous home base to work from we explored Puerto Morelos. With morning and afternoon walks on the beach, bike rides (yes, some for the first time in years) into town to pick up fresh tortillas and our own little pub crawl to check out easy to get to and great food options at the local restaurants.

Easy access to and from Cancun (just email Eduardo), a great house staff to take care of you (Roberto is the best) and the fabulous house and beach this is a keeper for our destinataion vacation list.

Casa del Sol Saved My Vacation

Caribbean Dreamer - Minnesota (VRBO)

I cannot say enough good things about Casa del Sol and the owner that takes such loving care of this property.

In early 2013, I had secured a rental at another vrbo property. When I learned at the last minute that my rental fell through, I went frantically searching the internet for another place for two couples to stay. I looked at the beautiful pictures of Casa del Sol. I could not believe that the property might be available. I got lucky. It turned out that the property was not on the market for several days when I needed a rental. The owners were spending some time doing upgrades at the property and it had been closed to renting for several days.

Imagine my gratitude and surprise when the owner of Casa del Sol agreed to rent the downstairs two bedrooms and the beautiful grounds and pool area to our party for several days of our stay.

Talk about good fortune. The property lives up to everything you see on the website. It has the best location on the beach and is meticulously maintained. There is an on-site property manager available if you need help or assistance on anything from in-your-villa-home-cooked meals to an emergency. You have convenient gated parking and the kitchen has everything you could want for a gourmet meal or happy hour.

The pool and view are breathtaking. You are close to all of the action in town, with very little noise or disturbance. You are just far enough away that you do not have too many people walking or sitting on your beach. There is also a rooftop deck for star gazing and a great location for viewing the ocean.

I cannot say enough good things about Meta and Jerry Jennings. They own this and the neighboring property. They treat you like valued guests - not "renters." They were always quick to respond to questions and, in my case, were truly lifesavers.

I had the pleasure of touring the adjoining property, Casa Margarita, and can recommend both locations as a great spot for an extended family vacation or couples wanting to share expenses and a lovely, relaxing vacation.

The perfect location in the most fantastic place

James - Texas (VRBO)

We spent almost a week at Casa del Sol. Absolutely amazing. The property is perfectly located to offer you plenty of privacy yet provides an easy stroll, bike or car ride into town. The grounds and pool are just beautiful--the pictures do not do it justice. The owners are absolutely wonderful, gracious hosts. Staff on hand make your trip's adventures accessible, including arranging for snorkeling and fishing trips (as well as others, I am sure). The home is immaculately kept, with every need on-site (umbrellas, hair dryers, cookware, TV/DVD, DVD's, etc.). We have a 7-year-old daughter who enjoyed the games, books, and toys provided. We also enjoyed the kayak available. The house has bikes available, but we had a rental car which was nice to have but not necessary. My husband bought fresh fish on two mornings from the market, and we grilled them on the rooftop for dinner among breathtaking views of the sea. After walking the beach, I believe this is the best location in all of Puerto Morelos, and the fantastic house with all its amenities and awesome pool makes it the best property in all of Puerto Morelos!

Paradise Found!!

Barbara H. (VRBO)

This property is amazing! It's an easy stroll to town but far enough away so that you feel like you are in your own private beach getaway. The house is so well-equipped...everything you need for a fantastic vacation. We used the kayak and bikes often. Every morning we would head up to the rooftop terrace and drink our coffee as we soaked in the beautiful views and watched the tractor man groom the beach to perfection. We had planned to do several excursions, but we just couldn't leave our spots by the pool. There is no better stress reliever than to wake up, open up all the doors and windows, feel those cool Caribbean breezes, and listen to the gentle roll of the ocean. Our biggest stress was deciding which bathing suit to wear that day and what time we would crank up the blender! The owners were a pleasure to work with and the staff, Roberto, Adrian, and Reyna, were exceptional. The little village of Puerto Morelos has so many wonderful restaurants. It was a hard choice to make each time we decided to eat out. Las Palmeras turned out to be our favorite. Abundio, the waiter, was so friendly and attentive. We ended up going there several times. Try the grilled grouper..YUM! Can't say enough good things about this property. Paradise found! We'll be back!

Absolutely Perfect!

DJ Barnhill - Charleston, SC (VRBO)

Just returned from Puerto Morelos and Casa del Sol. What an incredible vacation?! This was my first visit to Mexico and it won't be my last. Casa del Sol was more than I imagined and expected. The house was beautiful and comfortable. The pool is incredible and then, of course there is the Carribean sea. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I spent every morning on the rooftop with my morning coffee and admired the view. We spent our days on the water and exploring the village, ether on foot or by bike. It was about 1/2 mile walk - very safe! There were small beach bars very close by, catamaran trips and snorkeling. It was convenient to everything, but quiet and not crowded - LOVED IT! We had one in our party that could not make the 1/2 mile walk. Taxis are plentiful and very inexpensive to take into the village. I will be returning. I can't say enough great things about Casa del Sol and Puerto Morelos..

Perfect Location & Accommodations

Michelle C. (VRBO)

I cannot say enough about this place! We've been to Mexico over a dozen times. This was our first time renting a house. Do not hesitate to forgo all inclusive! This was an awesome experience. We are a family of 4. Daughter 15 & son 9. The house has everything you need & want. The outdoor Accomodations are breathtaking from the balcony to beach & the best pool in town. The town is so interesting & offers so many unique restaurants. Meta is so amazingly helpful. Really, I can't say enough!! We will 100% be back!

Wonderful house & Beautiful beach

Tortuga Eden - Prairie, MN (VRBO)

We stayed at Casa del Sol with another couple in January and we loved it! We were so comfortable at the house and the view was phenomenal. We really enjoyed the view from the lovely pool and the living areas. The roof top deck had fantastic views as well and was lovely at night for star gazing. We were so relaxed and happy during our stay. The caretakers were all so friendly and helpful. The house is any easy walk down the beach to the small town of Puerto Morelos which was also a fun place to explore and had great dining options. There is so much to do in this area as well. They arranged snorkeling for us one day and we were picked up by boat right in front of the house and had a beautiful snorkeling experience very close to the house. We would definietly recommend this rental! Thanks for making our stay special!

Traveling Goddess (VRBO)

The most wonderful things about this house are the infinity pool and the location: right on the beach and a very short walk into town. It is so comfortable, attractive, and well-cared for. We had an amazing week here and can't wait to return. To watch the sunrise from the infinity pool is really awesome. We had everything we needed to have a beautiful week in paradise.

It doesn't get any better than this!!!!

Beach Lover - Dallas, TX (VRBO)

Wow! My husband and I stayed here for a month and can't wait to go back!!!! First, the pictures are beautiful but still do not do it justice!! Casa del Sol is perfect for a beach getaway! The home is lovely and spacious. Has everything you could need or want plus much more. The grounds are magnificent! The infiniti pool and deck area are perfect for basking in the sun, watching the cruise ships or just enjoying a good book! My husband and I really enjoyed the top balcony in the evening. It was a fun place to just relax and enjoy the incredible view and/or cook our dinner in the outdoor kitchen. We absolutely loved this place and will be going back. We used to stay at all inclusives but staying in a home on the beach takes the vacation to a whole new level. It was fun to "live like the locals". The town of Puerto Morelos is a precious little fishing village. It is within walking distance for anything you need or would want to do. We would go to the little market on the square to pick up food, wine etc. There are many places to shop and eat. One of our favorite restaruants is Tacos.com. If you go, make sure you get the green sauce. My favorite is "Chilly and Willies" which is chicken fajita tacos. I love to walk. Every morning I would take off in a different direction. I loved walking through town everyday. It is very, very safe here. I never once worried about anything! I felt safer here than in downtown Dallas!!!! I need to mention the most important thing....the BEACH!!! I walked the beach every day too. First let me tell you, the beach in front of Casa del Sol is kept pristine. A tractor comes everyday to clean the sea grass that rolls in overnight. The color of the water is so gorgeous! I was amazed when I would walk the beach. There are other nice homes but the beach is not maintained so there would be piles of smelly seaweed in front of these beautiful beach homes. So, if you are crazy enough not to stay at Casa del Sol, make sure you check out the beach wherever you rent. I can't say enough how much we LOVED THIS PLACE! And I also have to mention Roberto and Adrian. Roberto is the manager and Adrian is the grounds keeper. Roberto is super helpful and so nice! He speaks perfect English and answered any questions we had. Adrian will take care of anything you need around the house. This place is the perfect beach getaway! Can't wait to go back!!!
