Map & Owner's Profile
Villa Gummerson-Welcome to Our Little Bit of Paradise
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Tulum
We bought the property many years before building the villa. The area was just beginning to be developed and it provided a wealth of natural treasures such as the second largest coral reef in the world and the amazing Manatee cenote. It is the snokelers or divers paradise. Tankah is also very close to so many attractions such as the Tulum ruins, Coba, Xel Ha and many others.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
We love the peace and quiet. The tropical weather is major feature of the area. We enjoy being pampered by our excellent staff. We always meet interesting new people while there. Our favorite times at the villa are when family and friends join us. We especially love having the grandchildren with us.
Owner's Map of Tulum
My husband and I met in highschool in our hometown in the mid-west where we have resided all of our lives. I am a retired special ed. teacher and my husband is a retired plumbing estimator. We have two adult children, two delightful grandchildren and twins on the way! We serve as foster parents for Healing the Children and are active in animal rescue.

…Just wanted to let you know that it was everything we imagined it to be and more…I also liked the proximity to the Cenote, both for my wife and the rest of the family who scuba dive but also for me as I love to fish….Honorio and Silvia cooked for us which was excellent. They also kept the place in excellent condition and helped us with any request.

Your home is so beautiful! What a piece of work! The floor plan, finishes, and furnishings are gorgeous. Also, the construction and “hurricane worthiness” is incredible…Our visit was the “authentic” Mexican/Caribbean vacation I had hoped for my family. My desire to get away from the “tourista” and see the Mexico I remember as a kid was realized. The home, town and area exceeded all our expectations. Tulum felt like ”our town” by the time we left. The people were very friendly and although I’m sure it’s grown up a lot, it still has that small town feel we really enjoy.

…the house was just perfect for our family—it was so nice to be in a “home setting” instead of individual hotel rooms…Your help and information really enhanced our vacation and we sincerely thank you for your kindness.

We had a fantastic time! We hated to leave! Your home is just beautiful! It was the perfect size for our two families. The beach was gorgeous and we snorkeled all over the bay almost every day…Thanks again for allowing us to share your beautiful home! It was the best place we’ve ever stayed in Mexico…

The house was just so fantastic and such a delight to come back to after a day of adventure or just to relax in and never leave. We enjoyed every part of the house. I loved where the pool is. We had sun lovers and sun dodgers in our group and with the way the house and the pool were positioned everyone was happy at any time of the day.

…wow…what can I say…What a beautiful home you have, we never really got used to the beauty of the place, kind of felt like lifestyles of the rich and famous!…We walked the beach several times and decided that Villa Gummerson was the nicest on the bay. The layout was well thought out. We initially were disappointed the pool wasn’t on the beach side but we quickly got over that…the pool was a nice Oasis out of the wind.
