15 Steps to Beach! Oceanfront, Luxury 3BR/3.5BA Condo in Small, Private Complex
Location
Car: Not Necessary
The private, gated community of Puerto Aventuras is located in the heart of the Mayan Riviera, just 10 miles south of Playa del Carmen and about a 50 minute drive from the Cancun airport. Built around a fantastic marina, enjoy the seclusion of this quaint little resort, away from the overbuilding in Cancun and Playa. Plenty of activities within walking distance from the condo! Charter a boat to go after sailfish, swim with the dolphins and seals raised in the marina, snorkel or scuba right off the beach along the second largest coral reef in the world, play golf or tennis in the neighborhood, or drive a short distance to some spectacular courses, like the PGA Tour tournament course, Mayacoba.
Enjoy spa services, stroll along the shops and restaurants, or just kick back and enjoy one of the best beaches in the world, all right outside the door! The ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum and world famous snorkel site, Xel Ha, are 35 minutes away. Take the ferry from Playa del Carmen to Cozumel, considered one of the best diving sites in the world! There are several cenotes (underground caves and rivers) to explore, snorkel, or scuba dive through, within a few minutes by car. The wonderful ecological theme park of Xcaret is a 15 minute drive, with various local wildlife, equestrian show, butterfly exhibit, and much more. Don't miss the spectacular nighttime extravaganza! Zip-line through the trees, ride ATVs through underground caves, or paddle kayaks through underground streams at Xplor, also 15 minutes away. Just outside the resort is the Lapis jewelry outlet. Don't miss lunch at La Buena Vida in Akumal (if there ever was a site for a Corona Beer commercial!). Although there are plenty of great restaurants, shops, and bars to enjoy within a short walk from the condo, if your looking for a little more excitement, taxis are readily available for a quick 15 minute ride to Playa del Carmen for an endless supply of dining, shopping along 5th Avenue, and nightlife. You can't find a better location in the Mayan Riviera!
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2012
About the owner: Buenos Dias, from Dallas, where we spend our time in between enjoying the sweet life down in Puerto Aventuras. My wife and I have vacationed down in the Riviera Maya every year since staying in Playa del Carmen for our honeymoon almost 20 years ago! It was a sleepy little fishing town back then, with only three large hotels hotels. My, how it has grown (really, too much at this point). We've been bringing our daughters down since they were about 7 months old, and can't wait for the next chapters of our lives, dreaming of early retirement, entertaining family and friends, and some day playing with grand kids on the beach!
Why the Owner Chose Puerto Aventuras, Quintana Roo, Mexico:
We've been searching for the perfect vacation place in Mexico for years, from north of Cancun to south of Tulum. Although we've always loved Playa, it has just grown too big and crowded over the last 20 years and has lost it's charm as a resort town . We found Puerto Aventuras just 8 miles south about five years ago and fell in love with the quaint, relaxing community. Location, location, location! In almost 20 years of vacationing and searching for our own place, this is one of the largest units we have ever been in, and just steps off a postcard quality beach! No fighting the other guests in a massive complex for a spot by the pool. There's only 8 units! Great kitchen, huge bedrooms, ample space, and walk everywhere.
Puerto Aventuras is just a spectacular site to own a home and to spend time on vacation! You'll see it immediately, once driving through the security gate surrounding the entire community. Beautifully landscaped, the winding streets meander through the small resort. Don't be surprised if your the only one on the road, except for some kids driving around golf carts. This community has it all, from the fishing and sailing opportunities at the marina , dolphin discovery, beautiful beach, fantastic snorkeling, golf and tennis, restaurants, and an endless supply of adventure and activities just minutes away. You just can't beat the location of PA, or our home there.
