Why the Owner Chose Celestun
Villa Mariposa is a private single home on a large beachfront lot. It was remodelled with high standards, easy maintenance, and in a quiet, beautiful location, yet still close enough to town to make it the ideal vacation get-away. It has easy maintenance tile floors and lots of natural light and ocean breezes, perfect for my love of painting undersea scenes.

Extremely disappointing rental - no discussion with owner or representative - beware

The photos showed a beautiful place with some character. Unfortunately upon arrival, very cold reception and extremely foul smell in the villa. It had probably not being aired for some days or weeks. The beds and the pillows also had the smell. Tried to tell the representative in Celestun that the place was unacceptable - but he would not say anything and just referred back to the owner who refused everything. She actually never answered emails to discuss nor phone calls. Expect nothing if you have a problem... In addition, the windows and doors have bars and two latches to open the windows broke in my hand because they were so rusty. The bars on the door are so rusty, that they fall on the ground when you move them - not a safe place with kids. Green mould along the walls and rusty legs of furniture. We stayed one night, the smell remained as awful the second day. We left one day after hoping to get a partial reimbursement. the worst is that nobody spoke to us. Finally, the agent in Celestun has limited people skills - not friendly not welcoming. The owner did not reply to calls or emails but asked that we sign a six page contract when we arrived at the villa. Extremely disappointing rental - look around there is sufficient rentals in Celestun not to go through this frustration.
Owner response:I have never had a bad review before. I have an entire notebook full of good reviews from wonderful renters. When my manager (who, by the way is very caring for all the renters) called me several times to make sure he could get ahold of me right away (caring) told me about this renter complaining, he said the renter was complaining about the smell in the house. He tried to explain to the renter that the entire beach smells like the seaweed and creatures that the storm washed up. He reassured me that the smell was only the beach and not the house. I received a very rude email from this renter threatening to destroy my reputation if I didn't refund his money. I told my manager about this email and he explained that this man had neglected to mention that he had found free lodging with his sister up the beach in a newly built house. The renter is an attorney. Of course he knows how to bully. I do not respond to threatening emails. By the way, the photos are recent! I also verified the state of the house with a friend down there. Thanks everyone!

We just returned from our holiday in Celestun and we can't stop talking about what a wonderful time we had. The location is perfect for both an active and relaxing vacation because there are so many great things to do within a two hour drive (Uxmal, Merida, Cenotes,) as well as great things to do right in Celestun. Villa Mariposa was perfect for us, we barely used the AC because the ceiling fans and open windows combined with the almost constant fresh breeze kept the whole house wonderfully cool. Having the beach right there is honestly nothing short of perfect. We used the kayaks almost everyday and cooked at home a ton, but also went to the great local restaurants at the central beach. Falling asleep to the sound of the gulf of Mexico and waking up to the sound of little birds made for fantastic sleep and I guess I just can't say enough about it. Go!

We spent a wonderfully relaxing week at the end of January at this rental. It is a comfortable house on a beautiful beach in a private location. The hosts were always available for assistance if needed. We recommend this place for those who want a semi- remote place to just relax.
