Villa Mateo is a beautiful freestanding oceanfront villa on a quiet stretch of beach along the northern coast of Puerto Morelos. 20 minutes from the Cancun airport but a world away in atmosphere...

4 large bedrooms, each with a private en suite bathroom and ocean view balcony. Perfect for families. Spend time together in the living areas and pool and retire to your own bedroom at the end of another memory filled day together.

Situated on a 1/2 acre lot with over 90 feet of oceanfront, our home offers complete serenity from the hustle and bustle of a typical tourist destination. The villa is located on a cul-de-sac beach road with very little car traffic and a small amount of beach activity.

Steps away from a secluded beach, Villa Mateo is truly a Caribbean oasis from the modern world. Sit back, relax & enjoy.

A caretaker is on-site and will meet you when you move-in and is available to help with any problems you have during your stay. Maid service is provided mid-week for week long stays.

Roomy house on the beach out of town
This spacious house was perfect for our extended family. We swam in the ocean, cooked together and lounged around. Driving into town was just far enough to make it an adventure, but not so far that it kept us from enjoying Puerto Morelos, which was charming. All around a good time!

WONDERFUL HOUSE!
This house was truly wonderful. We traveled with three couples and a few kids. The way the house is designed is extremely comfortable. Each bedroom has an attached bathroom and a balcony. The pool area is perfect size, and the outdoor furniture is great. The kitchen is well appointed and even greeted us with wine and beer in the fridge! The ONLY draw back to this place was that the beach was covered in sargassum seaweed which is a problem all over Cancun and Riviera-Maya. I'd recommend day trips to Isla Mujeres or Cozumel to see pristine beaches if the seaweed is there. Also, don't miss los cenotes! Such a great stay! I'd highly recommend!

New Years getaway
The house was absolutely wonderful. Everything was as described. It was perfect for our group of 8. Puerto Morelos is really close and a wonderful little town. Highly recommend Villa Mateo to all.

Casa Mateo
The house shows as the pictures show. Beautiful house but as they say in Real Estate, "Location, Location, Location". Out in the boonies, hard to find, off a beaten dirt road path. You definitely need transportation/rental car to get around. Nice jacuzzi on the roof but unable to use. Owner disconnected heater did not want it used which should of been an option for what they charged to stay there. The 3rd floor shower only had extremely hot hot water had to go into one of the other rooms to shower. Beautiful view of the beach but unable to access due to there's no path and too much debris/seaweed which was piled up to the perimeter wall which smelled horrible and made it hard to stay outside to enjoy the yard with pool which makes sense why BBQ grill was located in front of house and not in the yard. Beautiful big house that accommodated our family of 10 (6 adults/4 kids) comfortably but unfortunately unable to enjoy the house to its full capacity.

Wonderful family vacation
Villa Mateo was exactly what we expected after reviewing the web site. It was large, comfortable, and relaxing. The view of the water was second to none. We had as many as 8 adults for some of the nights there, and everyone had a great time. It was close enough to Puerto Morelos with a car, so that going out to dinner was never a problem. We used the kayaks, and the bikes. The well equipped kitchen made it easy to make breakfast, and we cooked one big feast when two of our guests brought back over a dozen snapper from their fishing trip.

Christmas Vacation
It was a beautiful house with amazing sunsets and tremendous views. It was very spacious and the owners were very helpful with all the information that they sent out. We spent Christmas there with our two daughters and there husbands and our grandchildren . A total of ten people and we had plenty of space. I know the grandkids had a marvelous time and will remember it forever.

Amazing Stay at Villa Mateo!
My family, family friends and I traveled to Mexico to stay at Villa Mateo and to celebrate my father's 50th birthday just before the Holidays this year. To say we had a great time is an understatement! Upon arrival, everyone was in awe of the location on the water as well as the house that comfortably accommodated our party of 9 people. We enjoyed days out on the water swimming, sun bathing, and kayaking. In the evenings we visited the little town Puerto Morelos for dinner and then enjoyed the beautiful rooftop of Villa Mateo (especially the large hot tub!). For my father's birthday celebration we had Juan and Gabby visit the Villa to cook a Mexican/Mayan traditional cuisine. The food was delicious, and both Juan and Gabby were so kind and welcoming! This was definitely the best meal we had the entire trip. Villa Mateo was the perfect place to celebrate this special occasion, and we were able to create memories that will last a lifetime!

A lot of space and very good amenities
We were a group of 12 (6 adults + 6 kids) and stayed at Villa Mateo from 11/22 to 11/26. The Villa was quite spacious for our group and was very well equipped with all amenities. Location was secluded and away from all the hustle and bustle, so if you are into privacy, it's ideal. At the same time, it was not too far from airport or civilization (PM village is only 3-4 miles away). Do note that while the house is on the beach, it has a seawall and not an actual beach. And also the beach near the villa is not quite as clear as other parts of Playa Del Carmen. Finally, the owner and caretaker were quite responsive. The microwave mal-functioned and the owner responded fairly quickly and got it replaced. The owner also has an informative website with a lot of tips about local attractions and chefs (we have used Juan for a couple of days and he was awesome!)
