We have 2 private pools in the back yard (unheated). The splash pool and Main pool are unheated but very refreshing for summer days. The decking goes all around the house and pools. There is also a large roof top Sky Terrace with wet bar and fireplace. It is amazing to sit up here for those spectacular Sea of Cortez Sunsets and mountain views. At night (because there is no light pollution) the show you get from the stars is unbelievable – Meteor showers, satellites, constellations and the Milky Way all show themselves with grandeur. We love to sit in the back yard with a cold beverage on those hot sunny days. We have the house professionally decorated and furnished in classic items that reflect the culture of the area and the comforts of home. Flat screen TVs, and unlimited WiFi. (Can be temperamental )Stainless steel appliances and Spanish colonial furniture. This is a great location to privately unwind and spend quality time with the family, explore the surrounding nature and estuary / waterways within the wildlife sanctuary.

Great second stay at this Mayan Lakes property
This is our 2nd stay at this property, and once again it was perfect! We love to cook and relax while on vacation and this property checks all the boxes. Having the use of the Mayan resort is a huge perk/bonus for us. Only comment (and this is not a reflection on the owner or property) is I am sad that they haven't developed this area more in the past 4 years that we have been staying here. But we still love the privacy and quiet. Thanks again!!

This is our second stay at Mayan Lakes (different properties). We really like having an entire house with a private pool for our family. Having the ability to use the Mayan Palace for the gym, pool, or other amenities is great. It is a short drive to the resort. Great place!

Deceptive location
The map pin in listing is way off. It looks like the unit is right at the golf course, which is why I chose it. The unit is actually in the Mayan Lakes complex, which the listing avoids mentioning. The unit is somewhat run down and needs maintenance. It was not cleaned very well. The rental manager was unresponsive.

So much fun!
The property was great. The hot water heater broke the last day we were there, but didn't affect us at all. We were worried for the owners, because we know it's a pain. We were happy we were there to let them know. It's an interesting experience. You are in the gated community pretty much by yourself. All of the homes and apartments were empty. I personally felt like that was more of a positive than a negative. We had everything to ourselves. There is a post apocalyptic vibe to it as if you were the only of your neighbors to survive a nuclear holocaust. Again, hard to see the downside to having it to yourself. Pools at the house weren't really usable, because they were not heated. I imagine that is different in the summer. We had to drive to the Vidanta, but we didn't feel like that was a huge inconvenience. We usually drove there after breakfast and stayed until dinner and then went back to the house for dinner. Played at the gorgeous golf course and pretty much had it to ourselves as well. Felt too good to be true.

We had a great experience with this house. From booking, to the stay, to check out. The house was clean, AC worked great, water was hot, kitchen was awesome. We didn’t use the pools at the house because we went to the Mayan Palace daily to hang out, as it’s a short 5-8 min drive away. It was nice to be able to escape the resorts for a quiet crowd free evening at home. We had a great time. Hosts were very available to answer questions before and during our stay. We will stay here again.

Family Christmas at The Mayan Lakes
Carmen was very responsive with any questions related to the property and made checking in easy. She provided clear instructions to get there and arranged a Chef and bartender to prepare dinner our first night. The fresh food and drinks were topnotch and the highlight of the trip. The property was very clean, very cozy and my family enjoyed themselves very much. We walked the property and observed a lot of wildlife. At night you could hear the coyotes and it was really great having a fire place up on the rooftop deck to watch the sunset. Getting into town was very easy and just less than 30 minutes. The Mayan Palace resort is a quick 3 minute car ride. The resort is beautiful, resort grounds maintained, beach is breath taking and the staff very polite and welcoming. The Christmas Day brunch at the resort was delicious and well done. My family and I are already discussing our return for next year. Thank you again Carmen for making our stay so special!

Misleading property posting
the home itself was very well kept and spacious. However when you arrive to the house is looks as if it is something from a horror movie. The properties around the home is unfinished and looks awful. When we checked in no one at the resort or property rental had any idea of where the home was. Once checked in the house had no hot water and even after they came to fix was extremely limited and had to have the shower turned a specific way. The ocean and resort are about 10-15 minutes from the actual house. This is not ocean front property. As much as I was hoping for a better stay I would not recommend this property to anyone or ever stay here again. Please also keep in mind that this house is at least 30 mins from the actual town and is a journey if you are wanting to be near night life or any life in general.

Exclusive & private getaway! Perfect for families!
We enjoyed every minute of this property and throughly enjoyed how quiet, exclusive, safe, and faraway we were from downtown Rocky Point (30 minute drive). My husband and I traveled as a family with Grandma, a teen and tween and our two chihuahuas. We planned and stopped at Sam’s ahead of time (much advised to stop before going to the house to avoid drive time) and we made guacamole and had fresh fruit available. We enjoyed the estuary on the days there was a high tide and the kids caught small crabs. We enjoyed the pools outside and the outdoor shower. It’s pure luxury for Mexico (safe water, flushable toilets, 24 hour security) and we also enjoyed having resort access to the Mayan w/ a swim up pool bar, lazy river and a beautiful beach. We found this house to an absolute, hidden gem and we are incredibly grateful that the owners rent out their home for other families to enjoy. Note for families with toddlers/small children; there is a winding open staircase to the roof (awesome for star gazing, tweens/teens and adults!) and the sliding glass doors open up to the outside non gated pools (two pools! 😀), but the yard is fully enclosed and fenced in. This home was a perfect place for us to relax and spend quality time together as a family. I also loved being able to do our laundry. It may be helpful to know that we were able to use our credit/debit card and cash with no issues at all and most everyone spoke English. It’s a 30 minute drive, but we LOVED eating at Santo Coyote Ocean Cantina for dinner. Note that this is in another hotel and reservations are required (they give you wristbands), so call ahead of time, but we celebrated my birthday and it was the most special birthday celebration I’ve ever had at a restaurant. They performed a private, birthday ritual for me that involved my entire family at the table. Very special and unforgettable. 🥰

We had a great time at the villa. Did not run into any of the issues mentioned in previous reviews. Several roads are dirt but that seems to be the norm for the Rocky Point area. While a car would probably be fine, I was thankful we had an SUV. Having resort access to the Mayan Palace only a short and easy 5 minutes away was the best! Nice beach, pools, lazy river and service. We planned ahead and brought everything we needed as we knew town was about a 30 minute drive away, but the resort also had a little gift shop that had a decent selection of kitchen staples, food, drinks, and toiletries in case you forget something. Would love to go back!

Golf getaway
We thought the place was nice when we arrived. However, one of the AC units was not working and 2 of the 3 bedrooms were 84 degrees. We called for repair and then our experience went from good to bad. They said they came at 10 pm to fix and we did not hear them. Since our guests were sleeping on the couch because of the inability to sleep, if this was true, we would have heard them. They expected us to sit home all day and wait for repair. We did not go there to sit in house. Needless to say the property management was poor. In addition, many things were not working like the microwave. There was no garbage can or any where to put garbage. No refund was given for not being able to use 2 of the 3 bedrooms. Felt ripped off!

This place was awesome for our trip.
