Villa Del Mar C 105, also known as Casa Kokai, is a beachfront, ground level, luxury, two bedroom condo that has the most perfect location in Puerto Aventuras. It is in the most prestigious condo complex in Puerto Aventuras, Villa Del Mar, and it is directly on the best beach (only condos in the VDM "C" and "A" building are directly on the beach). This unit is in the premiere Villa Del Mar complex, sometimes called Villa Del Mar I. This is not to be confused with Villa Del Mar II. Villa Del Mar II is a smaller complex located farther south on the main beach. Villa Del Mar I is located directly adjacent to the Omni Beach Club, and very close to the Dolphin Discovery, the boat marina, the golf course, and all of the shops and restaurants. When you are staying at Vill Del Mar all of the major attractions in PA are within a four minute walk. You will not need a car or a golf cart.
Hi, my name is Jim Baumgaertner. I live in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and I am the owner of Villa Del Mar C 105, also known as Casa Kokai. I also own Villa Del Mar C 205, also known as Villa Margarita, located directly above C 105, with the same floor plan and with a slightly better (higher) view. Casa Kokai is also the closest condo to the large, scenic two leveled pool...the largest pool in Puerto Aventuras.
Simply stated, Casa Kokai has the very best location of any two bedroom condo in Puerto Aventuras, and Puerto Aventuras is really the very best community on the Riviera Maya.
Casa Kokai is a large 1600 square foot luxury condo, consisting of two bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a well equipped kitchen, a utility room with a washer and dryer, and 2.5 bathrooms. The master bedroom is quite large and it has some beautiful views with windows on three sides. It has a king sized bed and an adjacent studio/office space with north facing windows looking toward the pool.
It also has a beach-facing sliding glass door that will allow you direct access from the master bedroom onto the terrace and then the beach. The all marble master bathroom has a jacuzzi tub and also candles and dimmer lights to provide a romantic atmosphere for some sensual soaking.
The second bedroom has two full sized beds and a private terrace accessible via a sliding glass door. I believe it is the only such private terrace coming off a second bedroom in the VDM complex. We also store in the closets two surprisingly comfortable inflatable beds.
*Please Note: We do not allow smoking in the condo!*
When you are staying in Casa Kokai you are always just a few steps from the beach and you can actually hear the surf at night. The unit is also perfectly oriented to the winter sun so that when the sun rises over the Caribbean it shines directly onto our terrace and then through the sliding glass doors into the master bedroom. What a great way to greet the new day! (Of course we also have room darkening curtains in case you had a few too many margaritas the night before.)
Like most condos in VDM, we have a four person tiled jacuzzi hot tub on the private terrace. Because of the design of my condo, the terrace really is very private...and the jacuzzi upstairs on the second floor patio of my C 205 condo, is even more private. What a great place for honeymooners!
The Villa Del Mar condos (also called Villas Del Mar I) are located in the middle of the largest and finest powder white sand beach in Puerto Aventurs and, frankly, one of the most perfect beaches in the world. Corona beer commercials have been filmed on our beach. It is perfectly safe for kids, and absolutely incredible for swimming and snorkeling. It is also good for fly and bone fishing, and kite flying.
Puerto Aventuras is really paradise. You will absolutely love it. If you need any more convincing, write or call me. My wife Peggy and I look forward to hosting you in our little corner of paradise. I pledge to do everything possible to make your holiday in PA your very best vacation ever!!
To read some private reviews of my Villas Del Mar C 105 and C 205 condos, go to tripadvisorsdotcom and search Villas Del Mar Puerto Aventuras. I am proud to say that all of the reviews of my two condos have been five star, and according to tripadvisor reviewers, the Villa Del Mar condos are the number one rated lodging option in all of Puerto Aventuras. You will really love PA paradise!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1998
My wife, Peggy, and I are from La Crosse, Wisconsin. We are avid SCUBA divers and we love the Riviera Maya. We own two condos (VDM C 105 and C 205) in Puerto Aventuras and a lake house on Laguna Bacalar in the town of Bacalar. We also love Mexican food, Mexican culture and, of course, the Mexican people. We invite you to share our little piece of paradise.
Why the Owner Chose Puerto Aventuras
We accidentally came upon the developing resort town of Puerto Aventuras in 1998 when we were on a SCUBA trip to Cozumel. We had no intention of buying anything...until we saw Villa Del Mar! It was everything we could dream of: great diving, great snorkeling, a great beach, a secure community, an adjacent marina, and...we were lucky enough to purchase a ground floor, beachfront condo. So we bought VDM C 105 in January of 1998. What could be better? How about two beachfront condos? We bought VDM C 205 in March of 1998. Despite hurricanes and a few other bumps in the road, we have been very happy in PA.
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
As any realtor will tell you, the three most important attributes of any real estate property are location, location, location. We have all three attributes in our two condos. They are directly on the best part of the best beach, thy are directly next to the biggest pool in PA, they are in the very best condo complex (Villa Del Mar), they are just a few minutes walk from all the attractions, and they are comfortable and beautifully furnished. You simply can't do any better. To read unbiased reviews go to tripadvisors.com and search Villas Del Mar Puerto Aventuras.
