House is close to downtown, only $2.50 taxi ride if you speak Spanish or don't act like a tourist, $3-4 if you speak in English. We walked down to the ferry in the center of town in about 30 minutes. It was a unique cultural experience on Sunday morning past the church and all the people on their day off. We felt really safe, but only went out in the day time. People were all very friendly to us. Be careful walking the sidewalks are like an obstacle course with cracks, holes, sawed off pipes, animals and their by products. It would not be a good place for a blind person to try to navigate. This is true for all of Cozumel area. We found $1 taco stand down the street and loved it. Living and seeing how the locals lived was an interesting experience in the non-tourist area.
House is 100% safe and secure. It also matched to photos you see 100%. Nothing was dated in this house except for the iguanas, that usually visit the top of the back wall and neighbors rooftops late in the day to bathe in the sun. Obviously they have dated, because there were a few little ones that run around back there too. We had hummingbirds coming around and some were huge. I could see why, with all the beautiful flowers everywhere, this was the same for them as going to a buffet at Golden Corral all you can eat. We loved the pool and shooting basketball from the water. It is a great place to come home to after snorkeling all day or whatever events that you choose to do.
Ana was a wealth of knowledge and support from before we got there to while on the way, while we were there and even for the way home. She guided us 100% correctly to the things we were looking for and gave us many helpful hints for success. Snorkeling is a must for fish and coral lovers at Sunset beach, Money Bar and Tortuga's (plus go north behind the buoys for about a hundred yards or so to the north). It was badass like swimming an a giant aquarium. Make sure you check the current flow before you get in too deep, they can be wicked. Ana kept us posted on severe weather potential, which helped us plan our events. I would 100% recommend this place, if this is something you are looking for in a vacation.
We also did "Fishing with Pedro", 100% recommended if you are going to fish. If you want to go work on your tan, this is not the trip for you, go on a cruise boat. We caught 22 fish in three hours, went to Cielo Beach and ate fresh tuna (we just caught) ceviche made by Pedro.
