The location is stunning – a beautiful sandy Beach right in front of the house, leading to perfect blue green waters. The house itself is immaculate and very spacious, with comfortable beds and pillows. The kids loved the backyard and there were plenty of places for everyone to lounge. The pool was also utilized almost every minute of our stay! Marcos and Reina took great care of us while we were there, and Chef Mauricio and his brother Carlos made delicious food during the week. Any minor hiccups we encountered were immediately addressed by Gustavo, the house manager. We could not have enjoyed ourselves more, and we hope to visit again! Thank you!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We just returned from a wonderful week at Casa Magica. The house is spacious, airy and beautiful. There was plenty of room for our party of 9 adults and 2 kids.We rented a car from Cancun airport (which took a surprisingly long time, despite having a reservation). We stopped at Sam's Club in Playa del Carmen for groceries on the way in- very convenient and well stocked. (For a later grocery stop, we went to Chedraui in Tulum, which has everything.)The kitchen is well appointed and well stocked for any kind of cooking or baking you wish to do.The beach is lovely, but very rocky. The area around the villa is not great for swimming but you could walk down the beach and enter the water closer to Akumal town. It's a good idea to have some shoes for the rocky beach- even flip flops will work for a walk along the water.In any case, we spent a lot of time in the pool, which was great. The location is so gorgeous that most of us lost all ambition to visit other beaches, cenotes or Mayan ruins, though we did see the ruins at Tulum, about 20 mins away.The house staff, Marcos and Reina, are exceptional. Reina kept the house spotless and Marcos kept the property in great shape. Both are really wonderful people and nice to have around. Marcos very kindly brought us fresh coconuts each day.We hired chef Emilio and his sous chef Esteban for 4 dinners. They managed to accommodate all of our dietary requirements and made delicious and creative local cuisine for us. They also were a great presence at home. Best of all, they left us leftovers for the next day lunch that were always a hit!We would love to go back!

There were a lot of things broken such as sliding doors, drawer handles, chairs etc, small stuff. The lack of hot water was disappointing, the hot water tank must have been very small since the water stayed warm for 3 minutes. This was an issue for all 12 guests, in all bathrooms, all week long. In our bathroom, we had a leaky toilet that overflowed causing puddles on the bathroom floor, twice during our stay. The toilet was replaced on day 4. The sliding doors were very heavy and difficult to open/close. One of the bedrooms was missing a TV. The front door was dangerous as it was very heavy and prone to blow shut on its own.The entry to the beach was unsafe due to coral, we needed to hike over to the next cove to swim. The wind and sargassum, which are unpredictable were horrible. We stayed there the first week of March. You could not see the water in our cove as it was covered by sargassum. Not anyone's fault - just worth mentioning. Only had enough paddles for 3 kayakers, there was not an SUP for us to use. The guest house is out front, has no view and was completely separate from main house. The couple that stayed in it felt like that got the worst accommodations. The shower in the guest house did not work so they showered in the main house. There are not enough lounge chairs for everyone outside which made it challenging for all of us to enjoy vacation together. The postives.. Junglefish restaurant located 100 yards down the beach was great. Location to town was nice 5-minute drive.The house was breezy and AC worked well.We felt safe.Water was good.Beds were comfortable.Staff was courteous.Property was clean.Rooftop was fun.Overall we had fun, we got MARRIED poolside at the rental.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved casa magica. It has a great kitchen. The common area is not huge but fine. Pool and location great although soulemein bay may have softer sand. Bedrooms are equally large and have en suite bathrooms so no fighting about where one sleeps. The guest house could be more inviting by adding creature comforts and color/decorating similar to main house so one would have really 5 equal bedrooms. Marcus who manages on site answers all questions and really helps to guide to resources. Rayna housekeeps and is lovely. We had professional food package so Emilio Talacon and his assistant Esteban were amazing and flexible. The food was abundant, creative and fabulous. We would have liked a more comfortable 2 person kayak as no one found existing one comfortable. We had paddle boards and a one person kayak available as well. The staff at the main office— Maria and Martina were immediately responsive to find really great yoga and massage resources. Top notch management co.

Also they were able to recommend different things to do in the area. I would ask Marcos about his brother Javi probably the best tour guide we've ever had. Also Chef Emilio was great we had Chef Adrianne in our house all week. It was some of the best food we've ever eaten.

We had a great experience renting this home for the week with our young kids and a fellow family. There is not a bad view in the house! We love that each bedroom is set up with like it's own suite, with a private bathroom and even outdoor sitting area. The property management company was extremely helpful with prepping for our trip and giving us lots of information so we felt prepared when we arrived. The care takers were wonderful! Marcos always made sure we had everything we need and so friendly! We all loved the home and its amenities and said we would definitely be willing to come back and visit again. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property name is apt: our extended family of nine spent a delightful, relaxing week at Casa Magica. Clean, spacious rooms and living spaces, both indoor and out, provided a lovely setting for our getaway. Marcos kept the property in excellent condition while Reina kept it impeccably clean. Gustavo checked in to make sure all was well and ensured that we rang in the new year in style. We spent the week snorkeling (there are fins and masks available for guests, but we brought our own snorkel gear) both directly in front of the house on calmer days and in Akumal, a short walk north, on breezier days when we needed more protection from the wind. The outdoor areas are set up perfectly for taking advantage of the sun but also for taking a break from it when needed. The house was far enough from the resorts of Akumal that the beach was never crowded, but close enough to be able to enjoy walks there and take in that energy when desired. Hiring Chef Emilio and his crew was an excellent decision as the food and conversation were delightful, and we could relax and enjoy the week without cooking and cleaning up. Having read about the seaweed that washes up on the shore, we were concerned about the mess and the smell, but it was never an issue for us. Marcos kept the beach clean and tidy! This property lives up to the Vrbo photos and description in every way!
