Casa Carlita could not have been better!

I did extensive research on where to say in Cozumel. I'm extremely picky and since I'm a mom I needed to make sure the area would be ideal for my husband & I and our 2 teenage sons. Let me tell you, it was! The 4 of us agreed the house was absolutely perfect!! We literally had not one complaint. These are the reasons why: 1) Location, location, location! --in very close walking distance to the grocery store, a larger grocery store is slightly further but still in walking distance. Taxi's are very affordable since the house was nearby most of the hot spots. Great restaurants very close by like Jimmy Buffet's, Rock & Java, Jeanie's. 2) Home felt very secure w/the gate & the safe in the bedroom. Nice to know I don't have to worry about my passport & pesos while being a tourist. 3) The casa has everything....no need to bring your beach towels, don't worry about bringing any entertainment because the DVD collection was quite impressive! The rooms were very comfortable & the home has great decor. Extremely clean! A/C in the bedrooms and living area worked great! 4) Knowing I could call the house representative at anytime, 24hrs gave me great peace of mind. When you are in a different country it's nice to know you have a contact close by to help. 5) Internet connection!!! Bring your laptop. We were there for 1 week and I will most definitely recommend staying at Casa Carlita.

Owner response:Thanks for all the positive comments. We appreciate you staying at Casa Carlita and we look forward to hearing from you soon. Carla and Craig

Casa Carlita was everything we could have hoped for and more. It was very clean, in a very convenient location, and I cannot wait to stay there again. We were met at the airport and show directly to the property, which is just down the street from a grocery store and approximately two blocks from both the beach and the main road. Whether we were enjoying the accommodations at the home (the pool, wifi, TV, and a great DVD collection) or coming back to rest after a long day out, Casa Carlita treated us very well. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wishing to stay in Cozumel!

Home Away From Home

I just returned from my second stay at Casa Carlita, and I will be back again and again. My first stay was with a girlfriend in October 2009 and the last was with my son and daughter-in-law. They all love the property as much as I do. The house is very comfortable and is well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen, plenty of beach towels and blankets, floaties for the pool, bottled water, and an extensive dvd & video collection, among other amenities. The Vonnage telephone is great for keeping in touch with family in the U.S. and there’s another telephone for local use. The wifi signal is excellent & we were able to use my laptop as well as cell phones & Ipad set for wifi reception. The housekeeper, Guadalupe, keeps the place spotless. On several days of our vacation, we slept in and Guadalupe rearranged her schedule so could clean later in the day so she wouldn’t disturb us. Also, after we were quoted an outrageous taxi fare, she helped us find an affordable taxi to one of the beaches on the southern end of the island. Her help was greatly appreciated. The house is conveniently located. It’s only a block to Chedraui and about 3-4 blocks to Mega for groceries. We walked to and from downtown many times, roughly a 10-15 minute trek. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, and the wall around the courtyard makes the pool and patio area very private. The pool is immaculate and welcoming after a hot day exploring the island. I highly recommend Casa Carlita. It’s perfect for 2 people, 2 couples, a family with children. I’d give the property 6 stars if I could.

Casa Carlita - Cool, clean, and comfortable

A little late in posting, but wanted to post my impressions of my stay at Casa Carlita. I first stayed at Carlita about 6 years ago. I quite liked it because of the location and it was very peaceful. I had tried several more times to return, but it was always booked and I can see why, I lucked out and had a 2 week stay the first two weeks of April. I loved and appreciated the improvements - outdoor shower was great for rinsing after using the pool, the vonage and internet, lots of dvds and books. I have stayed in all types of properties on the island in town - some fairly "high end", but I must say Casa Carlita by far is probably the best stocked. Lots of towels, good beach/outdoor furniture, a well stocked kitchen with lots of dishes, cooking utensils, pots and pans, etc., (even spices), first aid kit, I could go on and on. Property is spotless, great area, extremely safe, fantastic location. The owners have ensured that any guests have all the comforts of home and then some and have thought of everything. The weather was hotter than usual, but the a/c and ceiling fans are great and the house is kept spotless - very important, especially in hot and humid conditions. I wouldn't call this a complaint, but would not be adverse to a larger screen tv in the living area, not that a great deal of time was spent in front of the tv. Owner was very flexible and accommodating and all questions and requests were actioned immediately. I was so pleased with the property, that I am returning for another stay later in the summer.

Owner response:Thank you for taking the time to submit your comments about your stay. We truly appreciate it. We are glad your stay was a good one and that Casa Carlita was once again a comfortable home. We thank you again for staying at Casa Carlita. We always look forward to having you stay in our home and having it become......... your home away from home. Take care. Carla and Craig Hanson

Carla, The visit to your home was once again AWESOME. I feel so at home in your house. I love what you have done to the place. I especially love the outdoor shower. I actually used it most of the trip. My sister was with me this time and she is hooked, just as I am. Thank you sooooooo much for letting us stay at your home. Guadalupe is the sweetest person and Victor was most helpful. I wanted to bring them both back home with me. I am seriously considering retiring to Cozumel. I love it down there. I want a house just like yours. Wanna sell? Cozumel is such a quaint island and everyone is really nice. Needless to say I love it down there. Thanks again Carla, you are an angel for having a "Great Escape". Debbie Bishop

Dear Carla, I want to thank you so much for the lovely stay that my son and I enjoyed in Cozumel. We had continued on to a timeshare resort for the next couple of nights in Playa, and although it was incredibly expensive it in no way compared to the elegant, comfortable, safe and quiet that I found so appealing at Casa Carlita. Victor was truly ever so helpful, and I think Guadalupe is a beautiful lady, and very gracious. They add to the atmosphere of a well balanced and content living. Cozumel still holds the charm and sweetness of the people-and makes traveling an exceptional experience. Many thanks, and well wishes, Helene Toewater

Dear Carla, We really enjoyed our stay at your villa, and in general, liked the island of Cozumel. Victor, your representative was such a great contact, he set up out excursions and even drove us to one excursion. We like your location, very central to everything and said we would come back again. Take care, Sharlene.

We just got back from a week stay in Casa Carlita, and we could not have been happier. This is a beautiful, well-maintained, fully stocked house that has everything you could ask for. The location was perfect for us, only a couple minutes walk away from our dive shop and main plaza. In addition, the island representative that the management company assigned to us went well above and beyond to make sure we had an outstanding experience. He was there for us whenever we had any questions, and he set up any activities we were interested in doing.

Hello Carla, I wanted to extend my heartfelt "thank you" to you. First n formost, your casa was indeed a home away from home, very vibrant, cozy and just very very comfortable. I was very very impressed by the way you have maintained your villa: very well organized. Victor and Maria( housekeeper whom I named Maria) were very helpful and especially Maria who would sometimes help me with chopping vegetables, such a delight. I have come with alot of good memories and longings( yes, I wish I can come back again). I miss sitting and sipping tea near the pool in the veranda. I have experienced peace and positivity in the serenity of Casa Carlita's premise. I am so lucky I was there. Thanks you again, Sincerely, Neetu December 10-18, 2010

Myself, my husband and his adult son stayed at this property 8-23 - 8/27, 2010. We thought this home was furnished more than adequately. It had a great kitchen, master bedroom and plenty of closet space. There was so much entertainment available in the home. DVD, TV, CD,wireless internet, books, cards, games, IPOD dock. Anything you could think of to do was there. The vonage phone was a nice plus. Being able to call the states was very nice. We made use of it several times. The management company representative was excellent. Met us at the airport as planned. Helped us with excursions and transportation.He was always a phone call away. He was prompt, polite and friendly. The housekeeper was great. The pool was also cleaned while we were there. There are plenty of towels and blankets. The air conditioning is excellent. The pool even has floats. This home is complete. I had packed facial tissues and bar soap, but I didn't need to, they were in the house. We were so pleased with our experience and plan another stay at this property.
