| What a wonderful vacation we had at Casa Nuestra! My husband and I, our two preschool aged daughters, and my parents met for a week in Cozumel at Casa Nuestra. It was just perfect. The house is lovely and situated in a safe and pleasant real Mexican neighborhood. Locally, we enjoyed the excellent park one block away as well as the fresh popsicle store around the corner. Our girls enjoyed the pool and the cable TV on which they watched Spanish cartoons. We enjoyed the clean and well-supplied kitchen-- especially the juicer for the great and cheap oranges. The video library was a blast each night as we selected a movie. The high-speed internet with the connecting cable already supplied made it easier for my husband to relax so far from home. The manager made things easy-- and the maid was meticulous. The laundry was also great for our family of little people. We did rent two cars ($100/week for each) for making our daily trips to the grocery for "pan dolce" -- and it was a lot easier given our young children. The decor was very nice-- our children loved the large fish mural. And we used the dunk tank for our snorkeling and diving gear daily. We will definitely come again! |

| Bill & Diane, your place is wonderful! We stayed a week in August 2008. Normally we stay at a hotel when we go to Cozumel. We wanted something different this time. Your home was just what we were hoping for! It is beautiful and relaxing. The pool is an extra luxury. The location is convenient to everything. Enrique was extremely helpful and pleasant. We look forward to our return visit. Thank you! |

| We spent a week in Cozumel Jan 24 - 31, 2008. This is a very nice home. We were in 3 different properties during our month in Cozumel. This was the best by a mile. It is very clean and well decorated. It was the only house with mattress, box springs, and a frame. It is a little further out than I would prefer, but the good out weighed the bad. Thank you for a wonderful week. We hope to stay again soon. |

We spent a wonderful Christmas/New Year!
The house is very convient to town, restaurants, diving and sight seeing. The neighborhood makes you feel a part of Mexico rather than a 'tourist'. The house book offers great suggestions of what to do, where to go, and what to see, far beyond the usual tourist books. Bill and Diane have furnished the home most comfortably!
We hope to go back again soon. |

| Diane and Bill have really created a welcoming home! We enjoyed it and felt comfortable from the second we arrived. Quiet evenings were spent looking out over Cozumel. Outstanding and we will be back! |

My two brothers and I stayed at Casa Nuestra for a week in January. The week was mostly centered around diving, but having he villa to come back to as opposed to a hotel really went a long way to making this a great trip. The house has everything you could need, is very clean, well furnished and comfortable. The rince tank and areas to hang the dive gear in the courtyard is very nice to have. The high speed internet was great, we used skype to call back to the states for free.
The villa is located conviently to just about everything you could want (dive shops, the supermarket, down town). The neighborhood seems very safe. You will need to rent a car as taxis are a bit hard to come by in the neighborhood.
I'D highly recommend this villa. For the cost of a mid range hotel in Cozumel, you can have your own place. |

| I stayed at Nuestra Casa with two friends while on a diving trip the week of Sept 10-17, 2005. The house was everything it promised to be and we would not hesitate to stay again when we return to Cozumel. Enrique is first class - very professional and helpful with anything we asked. I especially enjoyed the guest information book. The restaurant recommendations are right on the money. |

We just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed ourselves at your "home". We had the opportunity to stay over the Christmas holidays. Nuestra Casa helped make it a very enjoyable Holiday. We made the trip with 5 adults, (2 parents, 3 grown children, and the home had plenty of room for all to be very comfortable. Even though everyday was spent on the go, the evenings were quite comfortable. I think there were more video possibilities than most local video stores and with all rooms having players in them, everyone was kept happy. Enrique was so helpful, his knowledge of the island and the home were invaluable. When we first decided to go to Cozumel we were afraid that we might not be able to get a home big enough or comfortable enough to enjoy the holidays. Then Emily came calling to the island and our fear level raised even more! But once we arrived, walked in the door, had coffee on the "topside" patio all of our fears were erased. Cozumel, even after the visit by the ugly stepsister "Emily" was well worth the visit.
Thank you once again for the use of your "home". |

| Our July vist to Nuestra Casa was great. The house is truly located in a quiet, local neighborhood. Everthing you need is there. Loved the pool. While the house is close to everything, we would definitely rent a car to get around. Enrique, the manager, was quite helpful, especially since our last day there included an approaching hurricane. It was very comforting to know that someone on island was keeping in touch of the news for us. If vacationing in Cozumel again, our first step will be to book Nuestra Casa. |

This was our second visit to your lovely house. We love Cozumel and being able to stay in Nuestra Casa was the frosting on the cake. The new 3rd bedroom, bathroom, and the on-top viewing area is beautiful - looks as though it’s always been there. Enrique, as in the past, was a GEM - met us at the airport, led the way to the house, and patiently refreshed our memory about the different points of interest. After that, we left him alone and took off in our rental car to be tour guides for Julie, since this was her first visit to Cozumel. After spending our days in such places as Mezcalitos (great grilled shrimp!), the beach at Chen Rios and their Super-Sized Margaritas, snorkeling at Dzul-Ha (buy a drink and snorkeling is Free if you have your own equipment), and a visit to Punta Sur for some more swimming, and a boat ride on Columbia Bay to see “Ricci Martin” - their resident 14 ft. crocodile. Ed even got a chance to do some surf fishing on a private beach recommended by Enrique. We did so many other things - too many to mention - BUT - we did take the ferry one day to Playa del Carmen to go to Xcaret (the ecological park). The all-inclusive park offers such things as: floating down an underground river; snorkeling in a lagoon where the fish are RIGHT THERE!; a beautiful beach with plenty of lounge chairs; giant sea turtle pond; butterfly area; etc., etc., etc. Don’t leave Xcaret until you’ve seen their evening show - a history of Mexico - OUTSTANDING! The show alone is worth the price of admission ($59/pp) - which is cheap at twice the price. Of course, the best part of our days was being able to come home. We used your “house book” and tried a local restaurant “El Turix.” The food was excellent and the owners, Raphael and Myruka, spent time chatting with us. How often does that happen? After our evening meals, about all we could manage was a relaxing swim, a quick shower, and then a video movie. If God made anything better than this, he kept it for himself. Thank you Diane & Billy for allowing us the pleasure of sharing your lovely Mexican home. Oh! Did I mention that we even found time to do some shopping?

| Thank you for the use of your lovely home. My 2 kids, husband and mother had a great time. It was nice to have the pool for those hot mornings. The laundry facility was really useful, we did not have to pack as much. The book that details what to do on the Island was a great help. Mulitple bathrooms was a MUST for 5 of us, I could not imagine what we would have done with one bathroom in a hotel. The house was clean and decorated nicely. For those nights that we wanted some down time, we used your vast collection of VCR tapes and we could all watch whatever we wanted on our own TV's. I would definately recommend this house to my friends. Thanks again |

| Nuestra Casa was everything we wanted and needed for our 11 week long vacation in Cozumel. The kids (5&7) loved the pool, the location was great; it was really comfortable. Enrique and his staff provided excellent service, and we highly recommend this home. Can't wait to see the new addition! Only one thing we can think of that would be nice is an outdoor BBQ. Thanks! |

Your home in Cozumel was wonderful. Your property manager Enrique, is worth whatever he costs. We really enjoyed meeting him. Your choice of decorating is perfect and we really, really enjoyed the pool. One day our daughter and son in law came over from the mainland and visited. They also enjoyed the pool and hodme for the day. Kate thought it was great to be able to make a sandwich. (apparently no such thing at all inclusive resorts.) Usually by the end of the holiday I am ready to go home but being in your home I felt I could have stayed longer

Marsha and I have returned from staying at your house in Cozumel and wanted to let you know that it is a lovely home and we enjoyed it very much. Particularly liked how you painted the walls. Enrique was very friendly and helpful in directing us around town and letting us know what was going on around town. Just wanted to let you know that we enjoyed your home and had a great time staying there. You had everything that we needed to make it feel like home.

Thank You for sharing your home with us. Your property manager Enrique was very helpful and courteous. Your home far exceeded our expectations. Your "house book" was very informative and helpful, it is a great idea. The video library was great and had a wonderful selection of videos.
You had everything except spending money
