Exactly as promised by the pictures

Hello Mary,

We had a great time at your villa. The only thing we were not happy about is that we could not find a thinpeeler, That is why we left one.
Just joking. Really it was wonderful and exact as promised by the pictures. Just those picture perfect sunsets every day was getting boring.


Thanks again for the service and we will gladly tell everybody about your great house.

Paradise!

From the moment my sister and I stepped up to your beautiful villa on our first day, we knew we were in Paradise! Your house was beautifully built, immaculate and furnished with all the decor and amenities that make a vacationer instantly feel at home. We said to each other many times, "I could live here!" The kitchen was really nice and comfortable to cook in, equipped with everything from corkscrews to cutting boards to beautiful dishes. The bedrooms were serene, and the beds completely comfortable! In general, you seemed to have had every detail of comfort and luxury in mind for your visitors!
The outside was just as much of a treat--the sparkling pool and comfortable patio, with the sand and ocean just beyond the back gate!
We spent a good part of the time birdwatching and collecting shells along the beach, or just relaxing around the pool. One of the locals sold us coconuts from his yard so we had a fresh supply of coconut water and delicious meat of the coconut most mornings. We walked around town and all the merchants we talked to seemed very gentle and helpful. We did a couple of excursions--the mangrove tour in nearby San Crisanto, which had a crystal-clear cenote (sinkhole) that we were able to swim in. Also we visited the nearby Mayan ruins in Xcambo and another boat tour in nearby lagoons for
more birdwatching.
It was always such a treat to come back to Villa Isla Negra after an outing. It is such a quiet, peaceful place and we hated to leave! Thank you so much, Mary, Gary and Ivonne, for making our vacation the very best we ever had!

Your home is the best we've rented in many years

Review submitted: June 28, 2011   Date of arrival: June 20, 2011

I just wanted to thank you for making your beautiful home in Telchac Puerto available to us. We just got back to Cancún and my friends and I , and Max had an absolutely fantastic time, due in large part to your incredible property. You're home is incredibly warm and welcoming, the best we've rented in several years of renting through VRBO. We've always had great experiences but this surpassed them all.


We spent quite a bit of time in the pool, in the sea and looking out over the sea from your upper patio. It was a very pleasant surprise to see all the flamingos flying back and forth. In fact for the first few days we didn't even leave the villa, except to run to the store.


As I promised we took great care of your home. It must take a great leap of faith to allow strangers to enjoy your special place in paradise, so I appreciate that. The villa was absolutely beautiful and clean when we got there, your manager seems to do a great job, she was attentive and easy to work with.

Sorry this mail is so long, I just wanted to thank you again for allowing us to stay in your home, I'm sure you can't wait to get down to enjoy it. Hopefully, we'll be able to stay there again soon.


thanks again,
Steven

a great option!

Review submitted: August 23, 2010   Date of arrival: February 5, 2010

What a wonderful way to stop the world and get off! This home is well equipped and spacious with the beach at your back door beyond a great pool. We thoroughly enjoyed spending several weeks exploring the Yucatan Peninsula from this home base. The town of Telchac Puerto is small and friendly and Safe! At no time did we three women feel uncomfortable walking the streets or beach. The management company was quick to resolve any problems and Yvonne had lots of suggestions and answers.
If you are hoping to get away, this is a great option!

We loved your house

Review submitted: August 18, 2010   Date of arrival: July 29, 2010

Just want to say thank you for sharing your villa with my family and I. It was such a pleasure to see the house after the traveling experience we had. It was beautiful. You had done a terrific job, we could not ask for anything more, the house had everything and the set up is just wonderful. All of us loved it. The cell phone along with all the instructions you gave us were very helpful. We had a chance to meet Gary. He was very nice and helpful with the pool. Ivonne finally caught up with us. She was very kind and so willing to help with anything if we needed, again we could not ask for more. We were very pleased with the house and all your services. My family will not return to Mexico any other way such as at a resort. We loved your house. With the feeling of home my family wants to visit my relatives again. We would love to repeat this in the future. Thank so much once again.

Wonderful Christmas Vacation

Review submitted: August 14, 2010   Date of arrival: December 28, 2009

"The villa was outstanding and the area wonderful! We fell in love with the small village and warm friendly people of the yuctucan. Since we were there during the new year the locals invited us to attend their celebration and they were very happy when we did! We danced the night away. The villa is very comfortable and we loved the view of the gulf. I only wish the weather would have been more cooperative, it was very windy more so than normal. And Ivonne(property manager) was a great help and always available when ever we needed anything. She even stayed late on our arrival night, since we got lost, and had gone to the store so we would have food for the night and the next morning! That was a pleasant suprise! We had just a great time and wonderful members that we are considering purchasing a home in the yuctucan.! Thank you for sharing your home! And all the photos and information was very accurate!"
