3BR condo in Cozumel

Cozumel oceanfront beauty - Relax with a view - Condominiums for Rent in Cozumel, Quintana Roo, Mexico

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful condo. My wife and I are super hosts and have been to Cozumel many times. The location was our favorite of anywhere we have stayed in the island. The place had lots of space beautiful views and super comfy beds. You can snorkel just past the pool where a ladder leads down to the water. Bill is a fantastic host and super responsive. We will definitely be staying here again.

Great place! Beautiful views. Right near everything!

This place is a gem. The view is amazing.  The pool is very nice, and I noticed them cleaning the chair cushions every morning, which I appreciated.  It’s a great spot for snorkeling too.  Everything in the condo was very clean. The location is awesome, just a few minutes from the airport and downtown. 10/10 recommend this place!

Thank you Jennifer! It is so great to hear that you had a wonderful stay. We hope you enjoyed all that Cozumel had to offer. We appreciate your kind words and I will pass them along to Laura, Gerardo and Fatima - they are amazing and help me keep the home stocked and ready for amazing guests like you. We hope to see you again. Cheers, -Bill

We just had an incredible stay at Bill's condo. This was my fourth time in Cozumel and I never want to stay anywhere else. The location is perfect; we loved the quiet privacy this place offeres. The condo had everything we needed and more. It is beautifully furnished and the beds are very comfortable.  Absolutely wonderful service from all the staff, the pool deck and lounge area is kept immaculately clean. The views of the ocean were unmatched.  We felt so comfortable and at home here, we will definitely be back!

It is so warming to hear that you had a great stay and found everything and everyone so easy and welcoming. I will pass along your kind words to Laura, Gerardo and Fatima. Have a great rest of your spring and summer! We hope to see you again. Cheers, -Bill

Nice for a family vacation.  The snorkeling by the condo was really nice and the ocean view was amazing.

We just returned from a 5-night stay at Bill & Abby's beautiful condo! Everything was just as described, right on the Caribbean with gorgeous views, incredible sunsets, a great pool area and a nice balcony overlooking it all. The condo is quite spacious and sparkly clean. There were 7 of us, including 3 children, and we all felt like we had plenty of room to spread out and not be stepping all over each other all week! The housekeeping crew does a great job of keeping things squeaky clean, including the pool area & loungers. So glad we chose this place for our family vacation! Thank you, Bill & Abby, for sharing!!

Bill’s condo was gorgeous. The view from the master bedroom and the balcony was worth it all. We could spend hours gazing at the pristine waters. The condo was super spacious and comfortable. We would love to come back and spend more time.

Great apartment for our family of 6 adults to hang out for a week. Plenty of space, well equipped kitchen, helpful and friendly staff at the building. Location was nice and quiet away from the cruise terminals. Everything was an easy, short drive away on the coast road. Couple of good restaurants were a short walk.

We stayed here with 4 adults and 3 kids. It is a very big condo and the view is amazing! Communication was excellent even before we arrived and Laura was amazing at helping us coordinate a chef and go grocery shopping ahead of time. This was great as I wanted food and diapers for my kids when we arrived. Totally recommend the chef for at least one night! The snorkeling right out front is some of the best on the island!

We so enjoyed this large condo even though it was just the two of us it could accommodate 3 couples easily. The views were like being on a cruise ship seeing the ocean thru the Hugh sliding glass doors and main bedroom windows. The condo grounds were spotless enjoying sunsets from the pool which often was just the two of us. Beds were comfy. Kitchen well stocked living room w large couch very relaxing. If you are looking for a quite upscale condo this is it. Bill and Abby were always a text away and have great staff on the island to assist with any needs you have. We were here in early Nov w Norte Easter winds so access into ocean at condo was a bit rough if you are not a strong swimmer... we just took the plunge and saw many beautiful fish up and down the coast. If you are up for kite boarding or body surfing we had a blast at Chen Rios beach on the eastern side of the island. It's an amazing coastal drive along the eastern coast and a must see by car rental or scooter!!!! Great trip!

Our group stayed here for a laid-back diving vacation and were extremely happy with the property. The unit was clean and modern, all listed amenities were included, and communication was always quick and helpful. The pool and grounds were spotless, ocean access couldn’t be easier, and the view from the primary bedroom and the deck is second to none. Truly a 6 star stay.

Great condo with breathtaking views of the ocean! We felt safe and secure in Bill's condo and communication was excellent. Will definitely stay again :)

We had a AMAZING stay in Cozumel. I have a group of friends who like to meet up once or twice a year and this year we picked Cozumel. We were thrilled with the spot. Right on the beach with gorgeous sunsets each night. Kitchen was fully stocked with spices and cooking oils. There was security downstairs always giving friendly greetings when we came in. We always felt super safe and secure. The downstairs neighbors chatted with us and offered local resturant advice. It was just a magical trip! If you are looking for a beautiful place right on the ocean, you have found it! ❤️❤️❤️

We loved it. We were there for a full month and already planned when we are going back. Absolute best views. ❤️

Excellent place to stay with hosts that cannot be beat!

Hello Scott! Thank you for choosing to stay with us. Enjoying your time is the best feedback we can hear! Have a fabulous summer and please look us up when you return. Cheers, -Bill and Abby, Owners

Absolutely amazing panoramic views of the ocean & sunsets. Beautiful condo! Very quiet location and hardly anyone at the pool. Great place to snorkel steps from the swimming pool. Very safe area. I went for a walk and run by myself and saw many others doing the same. Restaurant recommendations from Bill were great! Laura helped us set up parasailing. We also did a snorkeling tour and spent the day at Mr. Sanchos’ Beach Club. We rented a car for the week and drove around the island one day. We had lunch and drinks at Playa Punta Morena on the other side of the island. Worth the drive! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience overall and hope to come back! This condo and Cozumel are the perfect combo!

Happy Summer Sara! Thank you for the kind words and choosing to stay at our home. We are so happy that you enjoyed your time and did not have to worry about your stay. Please look us up when you come back, we would love to have you. Cheers, -Bill and Abby, Owners

Thank you so much Lisa! We really appreciate you. Please look us up when you come back again. Cheers, -Bill and Abby, Owners

Loved our Spring Break trip to Bill’s condo. Had everything we needed and conveniently located. Only regret was not staying longer!

Bill is a great host.  The condo is beautiful and well stocked.

This place was stunning. Love the open floor plan and how you look over the water. Very comfortable and spacious. The host was super responsive and helpful. 10/10 would stay again.

Beautiful spot. Only a 30m walk to downtown and lots of taxis for $7-$10 one way any time of day. Great snorkeling right off the patio and to either side we saw swordfish and lots of colorful tropical fish. The place is luxurious and the staff was generous and kind, Bill was also responsive throughout our stay.

Picture perfect. Very accommodating and spotless. Hope to return next Christmas.

It's so beautiful and peaceful! Being able to walk to Buccano's Beach Club is a great thing -- excellent food and a sandy beach. The pool felt for the most part like a private pool; it was almost always empty. The kitchen is very well-stocked! We did rent a car for a few days, and we appreciated not having to rely on taxis. Laura was an incredible help with local questions (what bus do we take to the Cancun airport from Playa? what grocery store should we go to?, etc.). And Bill's local recommendations for restaurants were spot-on and kept us out of tourist traps. Very glad we found this place!

Loved staying here!  Very convenient location, wonderful staff at the building, excellent communication from Bill and his co hosts. Would absolutely come back and recommend to others

Beautiful view and location, comfortable space with a great kitchen and amazing master suite. Would love to return!!!

The condo was amazing… amazing views, amazing deck, amazing location, amazing condo, and last but not least people that accommodated to our personal matters like flight issues and things of that nature. I would definitely recommend this condo to anybody looking for a great relaxing get away in Cozumel!

Bills place was lovely. The photos matched the home. Fantastic view, pristine pool area and really wonderful snorkeling directly in front with easy access in and out of the water. Sunsets were glorious and the open kitchen and living room space were great for our family. Laura and Gerry were wonderful as well. We will be back.

Wonderful stay, great location beautiful views!

This listing was just as posted…perfect! Snorkeling directly in front of the condo was amazing. We arrived  Friday after the hurricane hit the island and an hour before the condo was supposed to be ready. Laura was very gracious and allowed us to wait while they finished cleaning. Due to the hurricane, the water was off the first 24 hours and groceries were hard to obtain. Through all the chaos, Laura was extremely helpful providing information on restaurants that were open and providing drinking water for the unit. We had an amazing vacation and will definitely stay here again!

Bill was very responsive and accommodating.  We traveled with our two young kiddos and elderly parents.  the condo was perfect and met all of our needs.  We all enjoyed the pool, it was like having our own private pool!  We would definitely book again!

I'm hesitant to be honest about this place because I want to keep it all to myself. It is FANTASTIC.  Quiet. Unreal view. Sunset from a postcard. Safe taxi service or car rental. 3 minutes from ton of different eating spots. Super helpful host and staff. Great A/C in rooms so you can set your own comfort zone for sleeping. Kitchen is great. Nespresso machine for morning coffee on the balcony. Snorkeling right out the back door. Just so good. Can't wait to come back. And the city is full of great local restaurants and is totally safe to walk around in. Cozumel feels like a small town, not a resort town. Wonderful local community.

Deric, thank you so much! It is great to hear that you loved your stay and the location was perfect. It sounds like you got out and about, experienced different locations, food stops and the water! It is wonderful that Cozumel and Villa Serena were everything you wanted them to be. Please come back to visit again and look us up when you do. Cheers, -Bill and Abby, Owners

Thank you so much Trey! It is great to hear that your trip and stay was amazing! Please come back anytime, we would love to host you. Cheers, -Bill and Abby, Owners

Spacious and very comfortable condo. Couldn’t have been happier with it. Bill and team were responsive hosts. Great location. Perfect views.

Hi Jeff! We are so happy that you had a wonderful trip. Please come back and stay anytime you are in Cozumel, we would love to host you. Cheers, -Bill

We've been visiting Cozumel since the mid 1980s.  There have been changes (more travelers) but the local folks are just as friendly and it is safe.  Bill's condo is very spacious and tastefully decorated.  Gorgeous views.  We were only 2 but the condo could accommodate a large family.  We were never in need of anything, all amenities were supplied.  The pool and grounds are very well maintained every morning.  The pool has a shallow and deep end and is fresh water.  It was a little rough snorkeling because of wind but there are plentiful beautiful fish to gaze upon.  We rented a scooter for our transportation but you can walk into town for exercise.  We ate at Guidos (wood fired pizzas and pasta are excellent, skilled and friendly wait staff, manager and owner), Buccanos (fancy) and La Monina (casual,) our favorites.  We are divers but chose to do a few dives as we get chilled quickly.  We had a very nice visit and thank Bill for hosting us.  And Yamille was very sweet.  Thank you.

Laureen, Thank you so much for choosing us for your stay! We are very pleased that you enjoyed your vacation and for your kind words. You certainly have seen some changes in Cozumel over your time coming to the island and it is wonderful that you enjoy the area so much that you keep coming back. I hope that we can host you again on your next trip, please do not hesitate to contact us even if our schedule looks booked. Sometimes we have to reserve time for updates, upgrades or just to let the home rest and breathe. Have a great rest of your 2024!! Cheers, -Bill and Abby, Owners -Laura and Yamile Property Manager and Coordinator

My family and i absolutely loved Villa Serena, the amenities, community and the views. My family of 4 adults, 2 teens, and 1 baby found that this location suited our needs perfectly. There were enough bathrooms and so much space! We enjoyed the sunsets, warm pool, recommendations, watching the snorkel illuminated waters at night, the butterflies and iguanas were very cool. We would absolutely stay again as our host was so gracious and helpful. This spot matches the pictures perfectly.

We are so happy that you and your family enjoyed Cozumel and our home. What a great way to start off the New Year. Have safe travels and a prosperous 2024. We hope to see you again in a future visit. Cheers, -Bill and Abby, Owners

Hi Kelly, Thank you so much for staying and taking the time to share your experience. We are very happy that you had a great stay. Please come back anytime!! Have a happy holiday season and safe travels. Cheers, -Bill and Abby, Owners

Fantastic apartment with the most amazingly sea view you could wish for. All bedrooms and living spaces are immaculate and spacious. Beautiful condo.

Hello David, Happy New Year! Thank you so much for spending time in Cozumel and choosing to stay with us. We hope you found the people, culture and activities interesting and exciting. Have a wonderful holiday season and wonderful 2024! Please come back anytime, we would love to have you. Cheers, -Bill and Abby, Owner

Bill & Abby’s condo was exactly as pictured and described. The condo is HUGE!    Plenty of space for 3 couples without feeling the least bit  crowded! The balcony was also large which is not always the case. Very secure building. Great pool. Always good  snorkeling in that area. Very quiet. If you’re looking for a “party vibe” at all, this is not the place for you. If you’re looking for a beautiful, large, relaxing, safe, very quiet place to stay with breathtaking views, you will not be disappointed! Bill is a great host and is very responsive.

This is my new favorite vacation spot! Amazing views, responsive host, helpful staff, wonderful area...I wish I could stay forever! It was mine and my boyfriend's first time in Cozumel, but the other three with us have been staying nearby several times. We all agree that this place is spectacular! Thank you!

This place is amazing! This was on the higher end for us, as usually we would go for a cheaper place. But we thought we would treat ourselves and go with this one. It was TOTALLY worth it! The place has a stunning view on the turquoise ocean. It has amazing snorkeling literally downstairs. One of the best in the island, and more importantly, a quasi empty one. Most often we were the only ones swimming. Although it is a tall building, somehow we felt we were the only ones there. The pool and sea felt like our private pool sea access. And this was really amazing. It made it very peaceful. We ended up spending most of our time in Cozumel right in the apt enjoying the pool and snorkeling. Needless to say the apt itself is very well equipped and really beautiful. Once again, the views are incredible! Some Cozumel restaurant recommendations: - Cocay (Great pizza) - Bobcanos (Great atmosphere) - Go to the mercado municipal and buy your own fresh fish. - El Pezcozon (Sea food and good price)

Loved our stay! It was the perfect escape and felt very inviting for me and my two teenagers. Our host and the staff at the condo were all very friendly and accommodating.  Would definitely stay again and recommend it to friends!

Bill’s place was just what we were looking for. The place was clean, kitchen well equipped and the beds and pillows were comfortable. Everyone we came in contact with at the condo was pleasant and helpful. The pool was △⃒⃘lways clean and we had the pool to ourselves the majority of the time we were there. The snorkeling at the condo was the best we had while in Cozumel. I do recommend some sore of fins or footwear….there were a lot of sea urchins while we were there. Taxis were easy to catch and not expensive if going into town. The view from the master bedroom and the balcony was just gorgeous. Being on the second floor gives you a beautiful view without having far to go. If we had neighbors, we did not hear them. This is a quiet place. The water pressure in the master bathroom was really low but I am not sure that can be helped and I certainly wouldn’t let it stop you from staying here. This place was a perfect stay from host to the place itself. Thank you for sharing your place!!

Excellent option, great location and a spectacular view! Very complete and comfortable apartment to spend a few days and relax

Excelente opción, muy buena ubicación y una vista espectacular! Departamento muy completo y cómodo para pasar unos días y relajarse

Gabriela, muchas gracias por elegir quedarse en Villa Serena. Eres un invitado increíble y te invitamos a volver en cualquier momento. Usted es amable y considerado con las personas aquí para apoyar su estadía y trató muy bien al condominio. Que tengas un buen viaje de regreso. -Bill and Abby, Owner

The condo was great! Very comfortable and peaceful

Amazing place, 100% matches the photos, very good location, great view, always attentive to our arrival and needs.

Increíble alojamiento, coincide 100% con las fotos, muy buena ubicación, excelente vista, siempre atentos a nuestra llegada y necesidades.

Bill and Yamile were wonderful host. We really did not need for anything! Definitely be back again!

Wow this place is just magical, amazing oceanside condo with amazing views out of a postal card. The condo is big and it has a great air conditioner system, the house had everything we needed and more. We loved snorkeling in the ocean and then jumping right into the heated pool. We spent our days swimming, snorkeling and playing games. All the workers are very attentive and keep everything very nice. Bill is such an amazing host, thank you so much for letting us stay at your place. 100% recommended.

What a great stay we had! Accommodations were top notch and better than expected. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking our own meals and having a washer and dryer was super convenient. Yamile and Laura were very helpful and had great restaurant recommendations. Wonderful location, too. We'd love to back!

We loved every bit of our stay! The place was beautiful. Perfect for 6 adults. Super clean. Completely updated. Really nice. We loved being able to jump into the ocean right in front. Snorkeling here might be the best. We would drift down to the public beach and get out and walk back up. We will be back!

As others have written, this place is better than pictured.  Truly, the view from the deck is unbelievable.   Its location on the second floor provides a panorama of the horizon.  The pool is rarely crowded and is only a few steps away.  Only two of us stayed there, but there is ample room for three couples or a large family.  The neighborhood is safe.  We walked to breakfast both directions.  Arranging a taxi for the evening or for the entire day is easy.  The town offers many great restaurants with enough variety to satisfy any palate.  We will be back.

Bill and his team are excellent hosts!  Their condo is nicer than the pictures and description even show!  We have been coming to Cozumel for years and this is the best place we have stayed in!  We will definitely be back!

Having lived in Cozumel a number of years ago, we are familiar with the island and knew that we wanted to stay on the North end of Cozumel, where it's quiet and traffic is minimal.  Bill's condo offered the perfect location, and proved to be quiet and secure. Access to the pool and the lounge areas was easy and never crowded. The unit was beautifully furnished, super clean, and featured a well-equipped kitchen with an array of spices and basic cooking ingredients.  The layout is very open, which allows lots of light into the kitchen/dining area, living room. The staff was friendly and service-oriented (Martin was especially helpful with parking and with getting a taxi), and housekeeper Fatima did an excellent job cleaning the condo during our stay.

We had a great vacation, the place is conveniently located near downtown and has quick access to the ocean. The pool was great and the apartment was very clean and cozy. The hosts managing the listing were very welcoming and helpful.

Great stay in Cozumel!  We had 5 people stay over Thanksgiving.  This condo has a great layout.  The kitchen is very well equipped.  The beds and bedding are comfortable.  The ocean was warm with small fish right in front of condo.  Some days the current is stronger than others, but you can easily see puffers. Parrot fish, etc.  There is a line of boyies about 10 feet out.  There is a nice drop off 20 feet off with good snorkeling but tons of boats and jet skis coming through here so I would recommend bringing your own Snorkel gear and buy one of things to alert boats of you while you Snorkel.  The pool was nice and warm and rarely anyone out there.  Condo was very quiet and you could easily get a cab into town.  from 7 to 12.  Airport taxi $$$ due to some law.  Walk out and walk a couple blocks out from airport and seriously a taxi will be there in a minute and you will pay less than half.  Enjoy!

The apartment is in perfect condition as seen in the photos, it is 100% equipped. The guards of the building are super friendly and help you for whatever you need the same as the administrator of the apartment and is very well located 5 minutes from the center by taxi.

El departamento esta en perfectas condiciones como se ve en las fotos, esta equipado al 100%. Los guardias del edificio son super amables y te ayudan para lo que necesites lo mismo que la administadora del departamento y esta muy bien ubicado a 5min del centro en taxi.

I know, I know the pictures don't look real, but they are! This place was the perfect set up for my family of 4. The condo gave us enough space to spread out after all our adventures. The employees that work there were very professional and friendly, kept the pool area/lobby super clean. Honestly we had some of the best snorkeling there at the condo, so many colorful fish, then we'd just hop up to the room to enjoy a cocktail with a view! We decided to take a car one day around the island and I was able to reach out to Laura and she had one ready at the front in under an hour.  We took a lot of taxi's, literally just walk out front (we never waited more that a few minutes) and they all knew exactly where the condo was when we returned (around $12-$15 roundtrip into town). The whole time we felt safe! We will 100% be back! Thanks for sharing your place with us.

If you are looking to stay in Cozumel, this is the condo. Look no further.  It was perfect in every way for my family of 5!  After long days  exploring Cozumel, it was so nice to come back to the condo and relax on the back deck, swim in the pool, or snorkel out back. The view is absolutely gorgeous from watching the sunset or cruise ships passing by.   The condo had everything we could possibly need and incredibly clean.  From a fully stocked kitchen to very comfy beds.  It was so nice to have king beds and a bathroom for each of the 3  bedrooms.  It was also convenient having the washer and dryer.  The location is perfect!  Everything was just a few minutes drive away.  Bill, Yamille, and Lauren were super helpful and were always fast to respond.  Love this condo and hope to go back again!

Tracy, Thank you very much for the feedback. We always want guests to have a great time and enjoy where they are staying while away from home. It is wonderful to hear that Villa Serena was everything you had hoped for and that you had a great experience.  Come back to visit Cozumel any time and we would love to have you stay at Villa Serena again. Safe travels!  Cheers, -Bill and Abby, Owner

This place was gorgeous! Truly a beautiful place and such great hosts! Laura was amazing and always ready to help! Thank you for opening your home to us for a week and making it feel like luxury! 5 stars

This place is just as good as the pictures show.  You will not be disappointed.  My family liked all the space to spread out and my kids liked having their own bedroom and bathroom.  The view is incredible.  Wake up to blue skies in the morning and watch beautiful sunsets in the evening.  The cabanas and pool were a great place to hang out during the day when we were not doing other activities or to just relax in the evening.  The sound of the ocean at night was so peaceful.  You have everything you need.  There are several grocery stores not too far away so we could eat in for breakfast and lunch.  We snorkeled, did helmet diving, and scuba diving.  We also took the ferry across to Playa de Carmen and a shuttle down to Tulum to see the Mayan ruins.

Thank you for the kind words Mark. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay, the island, culture and experience. Please come back and visit anytime! Cheers, -Bill

What an beautiful place to stay while visiting Cozumel!   10 out of 10!

Michelle, Thank you for being a great guest! We are happy to hear that you loved your time in Cozumel and that Villa Serena was a great home away from home! Please come back anytime! -Bill and Abby

We really enjoyed the spacious feel.  It is in a great location for snorkeling and quick access to the main town.

Villa Serena is indeed a luxury condo on the north side of town. It was quiet yet close to San Miguel for shopping and restaurants. I’ve been to Cozumel many times over the past 40 years and I will say this is the nicest place I’ve stayed! The condo is as gorgeous as the pictures show, with super comfy beds and a well equipped kitchen, where we cooked quite a bit. The view of the ocean and sunsets are amazing from the balcony and it’s a quick flight of stairs or elevator down to the pool and ocean side. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a great stay in Cozumel!

Beautiful place to stay with comfortable beds. The place is a gorgeous as the pictures look.  Laura answered all our texted messages quickly.   She arranged for the cleaning maid, Fatima, to prepare a meal for us in the condo one night and it was delicious!  Snorkeling was fantastic right in front of the condo.  We would go south a ways to go into the water and the current would float us back to our condo as we snorkeled.  Taxis were easy to get (just go out to the street) and reasonably priced.  We never waited more than 5 minutes for a taxi to show up.   Highly recommend Cozumel as a place to visit and this condo as the perfect place to stay.

Wow, what a beautiful place! The views are incredible. The unit was spotless and had everything we needed. The pool area was perfect, very quiet and relaxing. We can’t wait to go back!

This property is fantastic!  The pictures don't do it justice.  It's enough out of town to be nice & quiet, while still being within walking distance if you wanted a little bit of exercise.  Taxi's are abundant - we rented a car.  Yamille handled the car rental and it was great.  The beds were very comfortable with first class bedding.  The towels were nicer than the ones I have at home.  You will be pampered.  I was impressed that the kitchen had good knives and spices.  You don't usually see that in a BNB.

The condo was just as amazing as it looked on the pictures. The views from the bedroom and balcony are unreal. The condo is spacious and light filled. The host, Laura, was sweet and responsive. All and all a great experience. Only slight downside is the lack of a small convenience store close by. All shopping needs to be done in the city, which is not far.  Not a big deal in the end. We loved it.

What a great place. Incredible views. Plenty of room for 6 adults. The check in was easy and it was clean. The co-host was very helpful when we needed her. Swimming right out the door in the ocean or pool is an added bonus. Such a relaxing place to stay. We really enjoyed it!

Excellent attention from the hosts, the house is beautiful,  comfortable with beautiful sea views, it is only important that in high season they check the prices to avoid surprises.

Excelente atención de los anfitriones, la casa está hermosa,  cómoda con hermosas vistas  al mar, solo es importante que en temporada alta chequen los precios para evitar sorpresas.

the description is accurate and the place is marvelous. at the end of our stay our porch was inundated with little flies. it had nothing to do with the room but mother nature doesn't always play fair. I would recommend this room to anyone who is looking for a class

It was a beautiful place in a great location. We even found an octopus living nearby! THANKS for a great vacation!

Lovely stay,  lovely views and Ocean front access. We enjoyed much our stay thankyou!

This was an amazing find on the island. Located the just right distance from everything. I loved how peaceful it was in the evening!

Wow, I loved the deal , the view, but mostly the service

Wow, me encanto el trato , la vista, pero sobre todo el servicio

Everyone, the pics of this condo look too good to be true, but I assure you, the pics don’t even do the beauty of this place and the ocean views justice. The condo is incredibly clean—good job, Fatima. The communication is outstanding—world class job, Yamile. Seriously, she was unbelievably helpful—it was like having a concierge service while in country! The property management team go above and beyond! Here are a few examples: 1) We had our 11 month old son and needed a portable baby bed. They showed up with a pack n play that they scoured the island to find (short supply due to COVID) within an hour or so after we arrived. Got it all set up for us so we could lay our little guy down right away. 2) Couldn’t find anywhere to salsa dance so Fatima called and reserved us a spot at a local place. I showed up and the guy greeted me by name. 3) I needed reservations at a particular restaurant but when i called, everything was in Spanish so Yamile graciously called and made my dinner reservations for me. She was literally on call no matter the time of day. Super grateful! SAFETY. Just as advertised, camera and 24 hour security at the front desk—a bellman of sorts. Also, the couple right across the hall (Deborah is the wife) are so kind and welcoming. There wasn’t a moment where we did not feel totally safe (me, my wife, our nanny (24), and three kids (11 months, 5, and 8). My oldest are girls and being able to watch them swim in the beautiful infinity pool from the deck/patio was perfect. LOCATION. 8 minute drive from Cozumel airport and less than 10 minutes from downtown Cozumel with all the shopping and necessary restaurants (also the ferry if you plan to head over to Playa Del Carmen for the day). We rented a keep (Yamile can hook you up with a guy who charges much better rates than any of the car rentals via the airport rental agencies. I payed $100 / day for a/c automatic 4 door Jeep (which if you plan to explore, i highly recommend—the fun drive down the road that leads to passion island excursions—which is only like 7 minutes from the condo by the way). Everything I saw at the airport for a Jeep was more expensive (and that includes the mandatory insurance coverage). Make sure to eat at Lobster House—trust me on this. Also, get the Lobster sand which from LaChef—it’ll change your life. Also, if you have your own snorkel gear (we don’t) there were several people snorkeling right in front of the condo (that nice ladder that goes right to the ocean is super convenient). THE VIEWS I can’t stress this enough: everything is even better than it looks in the pictures. Also, the open concept layout makes it feel even bigger. The 6 of us had all the space we needed. The sunsets from the living room, patio, and master bedroom are unreal. COVID TEST Def go with the recommended doctor. He shows up and performs quick test and emails your results for travel back to the U.S. THE COST 100% worth the cost. I compared a number of Condos in the area. This was very reasonably priced—especially for the time that we went (8 days over the 4th of July holiday). Looking at making this an annual situation for our young family each summer!

The condo is absolutely beautiful. Location is great. Pool and cabanas right outside the door, and the ocean is too. Perfect for 3 couples or 3 friends. Every room has its own bathroom. Already ready to return.

we had a amazing time in this place. the apartment is amazing, the view breathtaking and the communication fast and helped in any case... the pool is great too! we can definitely recommend this place... thank you!nn

This place is wonderful! It was very clean, amazing views, very spacious, and snorkeling right outside the condo. We will be back!

We had a fantastic time in Cozumel.  Our stay at Villa Serena was perfect.  The entire Team from the owners to the property managers were so attentive, responsive and proferssional.  The location and the views were spectacular.  This condo was perfect.  We enjoyed the beautiful pool and we snorkeled right in front of the complex.  We had two day trips a jeep tour and a fishing trip that we really enjoyed.   The food and hospitality on Cozumel were top notch.  Dinner at Buccanos was excellent.  We enjoyed the AM bar and Novena Ola for breakfast - Novena Ola located- above the museum - worth the visit.   La Monina - was a great stop for food and drinks.  Otate - for the best tacos.  On the jeep tour they have a cool tiki bar stop - MIAMI - best Mojito's and drinks - hand crafted in front of you.  The Thristy Cougar and Dive Bar George were great stops!    Music was great on the weekends and plenty of it.   We will be back ASAP!  Thanks for a great experience - Bill, Yamile, Laura, Eduardo and the entire Team at the complex.

This condo is spectacular! The views are incredible. We saw nothing but ocean and sky outside the window. The sunsets were stunning. The place is immaculate and furnished so beautifully. The sofa changed from pure white to black, and this was a relief because I was nervous about the white sofa. The black is just as nice. The pool is even more beautiful that the photos show, l deep blue and surrounded by lounge chairs and the beach cabanas you see in the photo. The water is very warm and we enjoyed swimming at sunset. It such a relaxing place and I don't think I have slept so deeply as I did on this vacation. One very pleasant surprise was the care and attention we received from Yamile and Laura, the property managers. In fact, they are more like concierges than property managers. Attentive and helpful, they respond immediately to any question or concern. They can help you arrange anything, from chefs coming to the condo to cook, to excursions and car rentals. I have never had such service in any airbnb I've rented. The other surprise was the very kind 24 hour security personnel. These men made us feel safe (even though the island seems very safe already) and even helped us communicate with our photographer who had the wrong address. On top of that, one of the men found and returned my son's wallet which had fallen out of his pocket. Good to know--this property is about 2 miles from downtown so you may want to rent a car. We did, but we almost wish we'd followed Yamile's advice to use taxis instead because renting cars is expensive and parking downtown can be tricky. Restaurants we'd recommend: We had great meals at Guido's, Hemmingway's, La Classica, and Pancho's Backyard (very strong margaritas!!). We did our open water dive certification with Cozumel Dive School and recommend them without reservation. We did a family photo session with Renata Corichi and she was amazing! She and her partner "made" us have fun and relax while doing photos. I'd never experienced anything like it. We usually look like those stiff people from 1900 in our photos! She recommended Jennifer Arce Studio for hair and makeup and Jennifer did a great job!

One of the BEST Airbnb's I have EVER stayed at. I am a digital nomad and have done long stays at many beautiful homes and condos, and this one stands right near the top. If you want an unforgettable experience, with a gracious host, in the perfect location, look no further, YOU HAVE FOUND IT! I believe that we were the first people to stay at the Airbnb and it was such a pleasure. Bill & Abby were so kind in giving us a fair price on our long stay. We booked it because as my girlfriend said "the pictures took my breath away" and with that, after weeks of searching, we knew this was the place for us. The moment we arrived Lyne, the property manager, was there to greet us with kind words and handle any concerns. We had a water leak problem our first night and after a few hours it was fixed and they nicely offered us 2 free bikes for our month stay to make up for it. I will never forget the great feeling every morning waking up, opening the main bedroom curtains, and seeing the stellar view of the ocean. Then after going to the balcony to do my morning yoga/meditation routine overlooking the ocean. The brown wood table was great for working and for eating meals. The large couches were great for the 4 of us to spread out and use the large TV when watching programs. The balcony was our favorite place to eat meals, and of course watch the sunset every night (when it wasn't cloudy). **Keep in mind, mosquitoes come in waves especially around sunset, winds can pull thousands of them to the balcony at times and you will get bit. My favorite part of the place was the desk in the main bedroom, which is brand new and I could look at the ocean or sunset as I worked all day. Lastly, the ocean. I loved that I could be in ocean in 30 seconds any day or time I wanted. Snorkeling right from the back patio and seeing hundreds of fish right away. That was so fun! *Highly recommend renting a scooter if you are going to stay for a while, we got for $10-$15 USD/day. Taxis to downtown are $5 each way and it can add up. Also biking is super fun! If looking for a gym check out Greko Gym, it was only $25/person for the month and was an old school rocky balboa boxing type gym (say hi to Margarita at the front desk for us, say Paul & Michelle sent you and they will take care of you). Do your best to avoid all the touristy restaurants. They are expensive and not always the best. The Indian restaurants were so great! La Monina (and the one next to it) are great, right on the water for sunset (live music can happen any night). If you go 2-3 blocks from the water you can find local restaurants where your whole meal for 2 will be $20-$30 ($1 a taco typically and they so good). Make sure to drive around the island (in a moped is best in my opinion) Go to Miami bar at thesouthern tip, great smoothies right on the water and a pristine untouched beaches where all the locals go. If you are into biking, running or swimming Cozumel is the place for you. They have a bike path around the entire 50-60 mile island all by the water, perfect for triathletes. For breakfast, highly recommend Rockin Jazz by the Mega grocery store, big portions (get the breakfast tacos trust me). Also go to local grocery stores for fruits and veggies (Mega is best for meat). The island has been hurt with no cruises so do your best to go to the local stands and mom/pop restaurants as they are struggling, the big restaurants/stores will be fine. Remember everything is negotiable, always get a fair price. The resort places on the water are nice, although all are expensive. Even jet skiing or parasailing, quite expensive, negotiate hard. Don't be afraid to walk away if need be. We did not drink at all the whole time we were there and had so much fun. Being by the water, biking, mopeding, eating great food for cheap, Cozumel was the best. Although I do not know what it is like when the cruise industry is back up and running, I have fallen in love with Cozumel and miss it already. Please say hi to Martin at the Palmas Reales front desk he is my favorite (remember don't pay more then $100 pesos for a taxi from PR to downtown or back). Also ask Antonio (the fixer upper, Lyne's right hand man), for the best chicken in town, he will hook you up and bring it right to the apartment for you. You will not want to leave Cozumel or this place, I promise you that, BOOK IT NOW! Tell them Paul & Michelle sent you and they will love you even more haha. Thank you Bill, Abby, Lyne and Antonio for one of the best Airbnb stays we have ever had. Peace & Love, Paul + Michelle Follow our digital nomad journey IG @ michelle garabito IG @ cr3ate yourself
