Turtle Heart Villa

Yo u will not regret staying at Jeff’s place. Everything was as described even more beautiful in person. The staff and the recommendations were great and everybody was friendly and accommodating. Hope to be back soon.

We had such a wonderful time in this beautiful home. It was spacious, clean, and had the most gorgeous views. We were greeted by Eric and Paula who were so gracious and welcoming. We chose the meal service provided by Eric and Paula and it was fabulous. I would highly suggest it. They made the most delicious breakfasts, dinners and drinks. Paula and her team were so wonderful in keeping the house tidied and clean on a daily basis. Having a home on the beach with children can be challenging to keep clean so it was so nice to have that complimentary service with our stay. We also had such a neat experience with the turtle nesting and hatching on the beach. We saw so many mama's laying their eggs and little babies at night! It was so cool! However, If you struggle with instability, the beach has lots of holes from the mama turtles nesting and there is a lot of Sargassum seaweed along the shoreline. Overall, we had a phenomenal five star stay!

Jeff was very good in communication with me. Everything he posted was exactly what we got. The home is beautiful. The giant sea turtles were a bonus ❤️ Chef Eric & Paula were amazing!!! Everything they cooked for us was excellent!!! Thank you so much, we truly enjoyed our time there.

If you want a peaceful vacation away from people in a very relaxing environment this is the place. If you are looking for lots of activities and more to do within the complex this won’t be the place. You’ll have great beach access all though do some research on when you come because if it’s during sargassum season you may not be too happy if you want to swim . The beach itself is very nice, but a bit rocky. Turtles do nest there so if you go during nesting season the sand will be full of the nesting holes so not necessarily ideal to be in the beach. Inside the house is spacious, very nice furniture, and comfortable beds. Eric, the caretaker is very nice & welcoming, you won’t really see him unless you are needing something from him. The only con, I think would be the dirt road to get to the house, it’s quite rough and it is stated in the house manual, if you plan to go out and explore a car is 100% needed or you can take a taxi. Overall the house is beautiful and worth it.

Turtle Villa lived up to it's name & was magical. We were greeted by the on-site caretakers Eric & Paula, given a tour of the home with informative instructions for our stay. The home is stunning. Even better than the pictures. The furnishings/decor are magazine worthy. Everything was spotless. Mr. Eric had the kitchen stocked with our grocery supplies we had arranged ahead of arrival. Thoughtful amenities are throughout the house. Mr. Eric & Ms. Paula cleaned daily and refreshed everything. We took advantage of Mr. Eric's chef services. We had delicious breakfasts every morning along with dinner 5 of our 7 nights. Phenomenal!! It is a must. They took excellent care of us & are amazing people. The icing, we had large sea turtles arrive on our beach night;y to nest. We watched in amazement with red light flashlights provided. "Magical"- 8 - 10 turtles a night! Amazing trip, amazing villa, amazing people!!!!

Thank you! We had a great time. We are so thankful for Eric and Paula's cleaning service and the meals they cooked for us. Delicious!

Beautiful house that did feel like home. Eric and Paula cooked a breakfast and a dinner for our family of nine and both were delicious. The dirt road is in rough shape and sargassum is nasty in whole area (didn’t smell at the house or beach in front). Found all kinds of other things to do with lagoons, cenotes and parks! Loved the food, drinks and vibe at OTulum!! It is just a couple of houses down. Great place and thanks!

Book this house! Wow, this AirBnB was a dream from start to finish. I was organizing a trip for 9 people and had quite a few questions for Jeff before I booked and he was quick to answer them in detail. We also made plans with their groundskeeper and chef, Eric and Paula, to have a few dinners and breakfasts and they bought our groceries for us as well. We ended up adding breakfast every day and the meals were truly phenomenal. The only reason we didn’t eat there every night is that we promised ourselves we would go out once, but honestly we all agreed we should have eaten at home. Eric also whipped us up some amazing margaritas. The house looked even better than the photos and each bedroom was as nice as the next. We enjoyed lounging on the beach, using the pool, and enjoying all the decks. We also used Juan, Jeff’s recommended driver, and he ended up driving us places all week. He was incredible and really helped us with local suggestions. We hope to be back one day!

We were two families traveling together, and Jeff’s place was perfection. The location was peaceful, yet close to everything. Eric and Paula, the caretakers, were tremendous. We had them make us several breakfasts and dinners- each better than the last. To arrive to the house perfectly clean, greeted by Eric and given a tour, the fridge stocked, and margaritas served was truly a treat. The beds were comfortable, water pressure was good, the beach was walkable (we were there during seaweed season which we knew was likely). We tried a number of Jeff/Eric’s recommendations: Xel Ha, Akumal Animal Sactuary, several cenotes (favorite was the skull), and many restaurants- the adults favorite was Hartwood! We had a minor hiccup during our stay and both Eric and Jeff were tremendously attentive and helpful. Do not hesitate- you want to stay here!
