Casa Cereza is just as advertised. We're a bit disappointed when we arrived that Cafe del Mar had moved to beach but found that the move had made the experience even better. Good for and service and a great location.

We had a wonderful 5 day stay at Casa Cereza. The apartment had all we needed and was comfortable and super clean. We loved the patio area with the hammock Perfect location, a few (barefoot) steps from the beach. Sabine made sure we had all we needed and she organized the door to door transfers to and from the airport. The food at the little cafe on the beach, Cafe del Mar , was excellent , very fresh and super tasty. It was great to be on the quieter end of the island but still just an easy walk along the beach to all the action. We hope to return.

Located just outside of the downtown area but still walkable. House is very pretty and comfortable. No TV in the house and internet works well in spare bedroom but is weak elsewhere. In fairness, telecom services are very weak in Holbox. Owner is very nice and willing to help any way she can.

My wife and I finally took our long overdue honey moon to Casa Cereza and what a fantastic time we had. Sabine has a gorgeous house that you can tell from the first step on the property that her attention to detail was obvious. And not to mention café Del Mar beneath the place has the best food on the island. We were also there during COVID and like anything else you might need she had a medical physician come to the property to administer our PCR or Antigen test before we could board our flight back to the states. Thank you Sabine it was a wonderful trip! And to anyone else looking at this property don’t hesitate to book as your dates will fill up fast!

Unfortunately we were only able to stay 2 of our 6 nights due to coronavirus

We visited Casa Cereza for almost 2 weeks and had a great time. It is basic but has everything you would possibly need to have a fantastic time close to the beach. We are a family of 4 that includes a 1.5y old toddler and a 4.5y old girl. The apartment is away from the main hotels area which is a plus for us. The main plus for us was having the private palapa (and there are not many of those) at the beach 30 seconds barefoot walking from our bedroom. That made a huge difference to us. The beach there is shallow water, crystal clear and white sand, ideal for small children. Sabine is super attentive and took good care of us making sure we had everything we needed. She helped us arranging transfers from and back to the airport with very professional drivers. We always felt secure there. We will happily go back. Perhaps the only downside to mention is that the road behind the house can get a bit noisy at night with traffic although this was not too much of an issue for us. All in all, very good value for money.

Sabine was a very accommodating host and her restaurant was excellent with healthy choices. Loved relaxing on the porch with the breeze and the palm tree fronds. Perfect distance to downtown by bike or walking. Our 1st vacation to Holbox and Casa Cereza was the perfect place to stay. Thank You Sabine!

Our family of four loved our stay. Such a gorgeous apartment with a huge wraparound verandah overlooking the trees. The beach was seconds away and we spent a lot of time in the palapa allocated to the property. Sabine was a warm, friendly and very helpful host. Highly recommended.

Casa Cereza is the ideal Holbox Island residence, less than a 100 yards from the ocean, set in a tranquil garden with its own Cafe del Mar. Perfect is a strong word but this is the perfect place to relax and have easy access to the center of town, restaurants and open air markets. You have the entire 2nd floor, bedrooms, open kitchen and an expansive deck so you can swing in the hammock and let the breezes calm you. The care and concern of the owner Sabine is exceptional. This is a wonderful experience and I strongly encourage you to partake in its excellence.

Really enjoyed our stay at Casa Cereza. Kitchens are a rare find in Holbox and with 2 small kids we appreciated making breakfasts and lunches. Cafe del Mar serves awesome food including homemade bread. The white sand beach w shallow water a stone’s throw away is lovely.

Sadly our visit here was very very poor. There is an unmarked camouflage cement step right in the entrance to a bedroom where by husband broke his foot on the first day. And due to extreme flooding from heavy rains and he could not get around the island, the golf carts wouldn't even come to the house because it was too flooded. He was in too much pain to trudge through the high waters so we had to leave with our 2 year old daughter after only a few days to get to a doctor in Cancun. After asking Sabine to be understanding to our very unfortunate situation and please refund the 5 nights we didn't stay...she refused. Honestly, it was quite shocking to know she couldn't be more sympathetic to this accident and forgo the cancelation policy this one time and just be a compassionate person. Returning our money would have been the right thing to do. The ledge is randomly placed right in an entrance and incredibly easy to miss, it literally blends in with the floor. Overall a very upsetting experience. The property is very pretty and the property manager was very sweet but the price of the apartment was too high especially for being in Mexico and for what you get compared to the other options on the island. -- Some things to note that were not in Sabine's control but are important to know before booking. We captured a scorpion in the kitchen...we had our two year old daughter with us, scorpion can be lethal to small children. The beaches were completely covered in stinky seaweed making them totally unswimmable. The mosquitoes were also incredibly vicious at sunset...everyone would scream and run for cover the moment the sun went down. You would be covered in mosquitos every night.

We stayed at Casa Cereza for three days, the house is beautiful and well maintained. The kitchen contains all necessary essentials and the bedrooms are comfortable. Holbox has certainly become busier over the years but Casa Cereza remains tranquil and enjoyable. The palapa on the beach steps from the house is definitely a great asset. Overall Casa Cereza is a great place for those looking for calm, the house is rustic on par with the best private accomodations availabe in Latin America. Sabine is an attentive host and took good care of us. We would definitely come back to Casa Cereza on our next trip to Holbox.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Cereza! The home was rustic but beautiful and had everything my family needed for our time on the island. We visited in August, so it was hot, but there are ceiling and standing fans in every room. The house is only 1 house away from the ocean, and you have your own private palapa on the beach - we truly felt we were in paradise! Sabina was a lovely host and it was nice to have an option to eat breakfast or lunch on the property, although it is only a10 min walk (slowly) on the beach to town. I can’t say enough good things about our experience and we hope to do it again in the future!!

I cant emphasize enough how amazing Sabine and César's home was. It's perfectly located just 1 minute from perhaps the most beautiful beach on the inhabited portion of the island and a very short walk to the center of town. The house itself is so comfortable and well appointed. We were 4 adults and had plenty of room. Our amazing hosts were so friendly and accommodating. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Exactly as pictured, this property is classic Mexican Island beach house. The little breakfast Cafe del Mar downstairs has wonderful, clean, healthy food and Sabine even let us guests sneak some of their fantastic coffee free for ourselves before the cafe opened. The guest quarters did not have AC but even with highs of 86 F the windows and fans kept it very comfortable. As a very light sleeper, the unfortunate side effect of no AC meant no way to close the windows and block out the sound of a nearby house party that created a lot of noise one night in particular. Next time I stay here I'll bring ear plugs just in case that happens again. Walk maybe 50 yards on the sand road to your private section of glorious, soft, white sand heaven. Shallow, clear water and endless beaches await. We took a golf cart taxi to the Casa Cereza property from the ferry but we were on foot our entire stay and never needed a ride anywhere. Everything you need from downtown is easily within walking distance!

We absolutely loved our stay in Holbox. The property was in pristine condition and I’m dreaming of returning soon. The accommodations were very comfortable. Loved the wrap around porch and the private patio off the master. The cafe below was not only convenient but delicious! Sabine is a wonderful host. Her homemade breakfasts were divine. We loved the quail eggs, lentils with fresh baked bread and the homemade marmalade was a favorite! Would highly recommend. ◡̈

We loved staying at Sabine’s place- totally charming, the best location, the most divine beach. And her breakfasts at the cafe downstairs are heavenly. I will pack a headlamp on my next trip- great for reading in bed or hammock and helpful for nighttime bike riding on the wild roads of Holbox. We hated to leave such a wonderful spot

Sabine’s home is in a beautiful setting - over looking her peaceful garden cafe, just a few steps from the beach, sleep to the sound of breezes rustling the palm trees. The fruit market and amenities of town are a short walk from the house, but far enough to be removed from the bustle. The private beach palapa on a quiet section of the beach is the perfect respite from the hot sun. The noise from the golf carts and scooters on the road can be a bit loud at night, but other than that the setting is idyllic.

The property is beautifully rustic and very clean. The owner is helpful, but not intrusive and the cafe breakfast downstairs is not only convenient, but good. Two small comments. The house is not directly on the beach but very close (one house back) and does have a private shade palapa on the beach. The bathroom situation may make this house a little uncomfortable for two couples unless they know each other well.

Beautiful and charming by far best place to stay on the island

Casa Cereza provided my partner and our two boys (aged 11 and 14) with exactly what we needed, rest, relaxation and rejuvenation. It was yards away from a very nice and quiet area of the beach but yet just a little walk to the hustle and bustle of the center of Holbox. Sabine was a perfect hostess. Her help arranging transportation getting us to the island was seamless - it was so helpful. She was always there when you had a question and her advice when my son got ill made me feel very secure and supported. The apartment had plenty of room for us and we got so much more than if we had rented from one of the boutique hotels. We absolutely loved our time at Casa Cereza!! We will cherish the memories forever.

We enjoyed our stay immensely! Sabi is a wonderful, warm host. We were very sad to say goodbye. The house is just far enough out of the village. You can easily walk anywhere from the house. You have your own beach with one one the calmest waters on the island and a lovely kitchen to cook in. If you are not interested in cooking Sabine’s cafe on the first floor can’t be beat. We ordered breakfast a few times and also sandwiches to go for our exploration day.

Enjoyed our stay so much! Sabine is the perfect host and such a wonderful hideaway - perfect distance to town. The private beach hut was such a luxury and we often had the whole beach to ourselves. Café breakfast was great and such a relaxing way to start the day. Loved Holbox and wished we could have brought home one of those unconditionally happy dogs. A few more luxurious places to stay on the island - but wouldn't' t have wanted to stay anywhere else. Great relaxing stay!! Thanks so much Sabine

We had a great time. Would definitely go back.
