We spent 10 weeks at Casa Lucia. We loved everything about it.

Feb 2017 A one week stay. Positives: Kelley met us and introduced the house. House is very spacious, lots of room for 6 people. Nicely furnished living area with good couches and dining table. Quite well equipped. Newer fridge and clothes washer work well. Didn't use the TV. Cleanliness is OK. Lots of screened ventilation and fans. The A/C's work well, although often not necessary. Downstairs bed was comfortable ( the bedroom we used ). Nice to have the porches. Pictures on the listing are quite accurate. Hot water and bathrooms work OK. We appreciated the juice and lots of drinking water. Kelley was able to book a taxi van to the ferry for us when we left. Negatives House gives the impression it was nicely fixed up but has somewhat deteriorated. We had to find, untangle and reinstall bathroom blind which had fallen off the wall, in order to block the view in from the street. There are tiny ants ( which have in our case nothing to do with leaving food out ), which we understand is not unusual in Cozumel. No other bugs. The house is very noisy, both traffic and neighbours dogs, although the traffic goes quiet overnight and several nights the dogs were quiet. We asked questions about noise before we booked but there was no mention of traffic or dogs in the reply. Misc Info: Location is not very convenient. Its 16 blocks to the waterfront ( counted them ), 1.2 Km., about 20 minutes walk. Never got a taxi near the house, usually found one closer to town. By Mexican standards, taxis are very expensive here. Two good supermarkets close together on waterfront road, Mega and Chedraui. Meat and fruit / veg stall across 17 sur. Nice Italian restaurant very close at corner of Xel-Ha and 50 sur. Lots of restaurants on the waterfront road. Our personal opinion is : This house is good for a larger group who like to walk, do much of their own cooking and are not disturbed by noise.

This house was full of ants. The outdoor area could be lovely if anything was done to it but it's not, the beds are so hard we woke up constantly with hip and back pain and the neighborhood is noisy. The acs did not work right the whole time we were there. The bedrooms were cool but the living room areas were hot and the manager blamed us for the acs not working when we left so she kept our deposit. She also left us a scathing note one time because she came into the house when we were gone and the acs were on. Seriously, does a hotel give you acs and then tell you not to use them?? I would advise against renting from this manager.

Description is accurate. Property was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Management was excellent and provided a lot of support upon arrival and throughout the stay. Location is near a recreation centre with a swimming pool, basketball courts and a running track. Would recommend this to family and friends who don't want a "resort-style" vacation and prefer a "home-style" stay. Great for families and couples because there are 2 distinct living areas upstairs and downstairs.
