Villa Description
Upon entrance, feel your stresses fade as the warm earthen colors used throughout the villa embrace you and lift your spirits. The decor, best described as a rustic tropical charm, blends modern comforts with the appeal of ancient worlds. Statues and ceramic figurines adorn small corners and spaces, catching the passing eye. Scattered thoughtfully about the entire villa, large ceramic painted pots, housing palms and other plants, help all rooms come to life.
An open and spacious floor plan creates a sense of unity among the living, kitchen and dining areas. The elegant wicker sofas piled high with pillows of warm greens and reds create a cozy living room, while the two-story domed brick ceiling towers majestically above. The solid wood dining table, surrounded by eight fabulously comfortable chairs, entices you to try a traditional Mexican feast prepared and served to you in this ideal location. Or, if you would rather create your own dining delicacies, this enormous and completely equipped kitchen will appease even the most discerning chef!
Stepping beyond the glass doors of the living and dining areas, an amazing pool and graciously covered patio areas awaits you. Deep blue and inviting, the pool of varied depths is a perfect place to take a refreshing dip. With ledges and steps, there are places for ultimate sunning within the refreshing waters. Framing the pool is lush, soft lawn intersected with small, cement pathways which lead to individual sunning decks. A unique wooden gazebo borders the pool providing slightly shaded, oceanfront seating - the ideal location for sipping afternoon margaritas!
The downstairs master suite has huge sliding glass doors leading out into this wonderland. Within these doors, you will find the ocean view king-sized master bedroom, with a huge bath and oversized shower. The nearly identical upstairs master suite offers a private, covered, oceanfront balcony as well as an enormous bath with double sinks and an oversized shower and tub! Wake up to a mesmerizing view of the turquoise and emerald Caribbean waters in the third bedroom as well! Offering a king-sized bed and private bath, the focus of this room drifts to the exclusive and enormous oceanfront balcony. Finally, the darling fourth bedroom, which houses two queen beds and a private bath, showcases a jungle view through enormous panoramic windows. Also containing its own private ocean view balcony, this bedroom lacks nothing.
As one of the newly discovered beaches in the Riviera Maya, Jade Bay is a secret worth mentioning. Inhabiting its protected, crystal clear waters lie incredible corals and colorful tropical fish just waiting to be snorkeled among. During the summer months, endangered sea turtles will exit the ocean and lay their eggs on the beaches of Jade Bay. You chance being witness to the exquisite natural wonder of watching droves of baby turtles erupt from their nest in the sand and make their way to the sea. Truly an experience of a lifetime!
While private and quiet, Jade Bay is only a short stroll along the beach to the heart of Akumal, with shops and restaurants, diving facilities, and much more. If you are the adventuresome type, discover the mysteries of the Ancient Mayan civilizations, go shopping along 5th Avenue of Playa del Carmen, take a deep sea fishing excursion, treat yourself to a rejuvenating massage, the choices are yours to make!

“Casa Magica is by far the best place I ever booked on Airbnb. It truly lives up to its name! The place was spacious, very clean and comfortable. The staff Marcos and Reina were FANTASTIC. They were so helpful and assist you with a smile on their face. Waking up every morning to the ocean in front of us was the stuff of dreams. We were very sad to leave. Dream vacation home at a great value. Cannot recommend it enough.”

We had a lovely stay here at Magica. The house is well appreciated and the house is very comfortable. We were fortunate to see the green sea turtles lay their eggs and some hatch out and lead to sea.
For the week we were here I reallly didn´t have a care in the world. Thanks.
Reina + Marcos attended our every need.

Arrived to a stunning viewat the
ocean from the living room. We were from Big Harbor, WA; Port Ludlow, WA
& Dallas,TX.
One of the highlights of the trip are the
sea turtles that make their way up to the beach and lay 80-100
eggs.
When the eggs hatch all the babies, quickly travel back
to the safety of the
water.

I came from Michigan with my nephew and
my niece we meet at this house with family from California. I love
Cancun, the Riviera. I come with family every year for every 2 years and
we always stay at a house. I give this house 10, 20 stars
because the house is beautiful, very celan and Reyna the housekeeper an
the might security guard where very, very nice & polite helpful. We
hd a very nice experience learning about the turtles & where so
lucky that they rest night infront of the house in all this year. I been
in the and never had this wonderful experience. May God bless the
owner, the staff and everybody

We´re had a lonely stary,
each day´s heat (wich would have been stifling) softened by a
constant marvelous breeze! Day and night we´ve been
accomppanied by strong weird and water corrients... White caps, frigate
bird riding the updrafts, magnificiet (HUGE) cloud formations and even a
full moon last night with its path of silver night up to our door.
Pedro was an admirable teacher! He was enthusiastic and
respectful

Than
you so much for the use of your beautiful home. This is paradise! So
relaxing and peaceful. We enjoyed the turtle resting process every
night. Will have to return for hatching next year in July. Amazing to
watch the snorkeling in Akumal Bay was fantastic. Turtle everywhere :)

Wonderful week at Casa Magica
We had a fantastic week
at Casa Magica with Marco and Reyna. The house is beautiful and
spacious. Our party consisted of two families; 4 adults and 7 children
(aged 1-9). Shortly after our arrival Gustavo visited us at the house
and gave us a basket overflowing with fruit, which was very generous!
Each of the large bedrooms is beautifully decorated and gave our
families some privacy. The kitchen was very well stocked with cookware
and an assortment of dishes. The yard was in excellent condition, with
comfortable beach loungers and lots of shade under the cabana and
umbrellas. The landscaping is beautiful and very well maintained. Marco
and Reyna were perfect hosts and we were sad to say good bye to them. We
thoroughly enjoyed swimming in the pool with the children and exploring
the beach every day. Unfortunately the weather was too windy to make
use of the kayaks as the waves made it unsafe. We enjoyed several days
playing in the sand and swimming/snorkelling with the children in
Akumal. We spent a day at Xcaret where the children enjoyed seeing the
animals and swimming at the beach in the tubes. The evening performance
is excellent and we would consider returning to Xcaret just for the
evening performance and the meal option. The other family that stayed in
the home with us also spent a day at Xel-Ha and were very impressed
with the variety of fish they saw. The house is very conveniently
located along the coast, making it easy and quick to visit Playa del
Carmen for some shopping or explore the ruins at Tulum. We would
definitely consider returning to Casa Magica again and would recommend
the home and its staff without hesitation.

Family for 8, The house is a
perfect setup for us. Loved the beach chairs outside along with ample
umbrellas. Very clean & kept up. Marcos and Reyna were the best.
They kept the house cleanevery day. We hired Reyna to cook us breakfast
and dinner every night - Really worth it and very affordable° We
had our choice of what we wanted for each meal. They both
were very accommodating. Very enjoyable time. WE WILL BE
BACK!

A Paradise on the Beach
We had excellent time at Casa
Mágica. The house is beautiful, an ideal place to rest and
recharge your batteries and have fun with the family. The staff is very
friendly and the sunrise is breathtaking. Only issue we had was with the
Internet, not allowing you to send longer files. By the way, do not get
into the Kayaks without proper shoes, we learned our lesson when our
kayak was stuck at the Coral reef. Better use wet shoes at all time!

Muy buena casa y
buen servicio. No es la mejor playa de la zona pero se puede entrar al
mar por una apertura entre los corales.

I wanted to send an email telling you how wonderful everything
was. We had a great time! Everything was perfect. The house was lovely
-- the pictures really don't do it justice. Rayna and Marocs were so
friendly, helpful and nice. The food was great! Akumal is a great little
town and is an easy beach walk away. Oh yeah, and the beach. So
beautiful!I miss it already. My friends declared me the biggest beach
bum of the group! I am happy with that title!
