La Gloria, Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo

You found it! Youre trying to find a fantastic family beach home in the Caribbean, and have not been able to find the right one, well here it is! With fantastic curb appeal, this home is almost unassuming, in that from the street, you dont imagine this house offers over 6500sf of indoor living space on a gorgeous 1/4 acre private lot! And as much space as this home has to offer, youll find yourselves spending all of your time outside, either poolside around this incredible, 50 long pool and deck area or at the beach, only a 2 minutes walk through your back yard, and across the park adjacent the small lake. Casa Andalucia, situated in the gated residential community of Playa Paraiso truly feels like a family home, with its 5 proper bedrooms, a den, massive living room, great big and bright kitchen with views to the pool, dining room and even a gym space, there is so much room for everyone. And I cant say enough of the outdoor space again, with so much covered, pool-side patio space and an open park with a tennis court right behind your yard. Take a stroll alongside the beautiful pond, adorned with lily-pads and their beautiful flowers and before you know it, you are on the gorgeous sandy beach. The beach that happens to be one of the greatest nesting sites for sea turtles in the Riviera Maya. During the nesting months of May-Sept. the beautiful sea turtles arrive at night, nest and lay up to 150 eggs each. In 2023, Villa La Joya recorded over 10, 000 turtles released! The house is equipped with whole home reverse osmosis water system, making the water drinkable from anywhere in the house, and can almost be considered off-grid, since youve got solar panels and well water. Talk about reducing your cost of living! The owners have a wonderful gardener and a great housekeeper, so keeping some quality people around who already know the house can be a huge benefit. Speaking of equipped, you have 8 new mini split AC units, new washing machine, stove, hood fan and dishwasher to go along with new lighting and plumbing fixtures throughout the house. The Spanish influenced, Mexican architecture can be appreciated throughout the house and the yard, with the beautiful tile inlays, borders and accents in the floors inside and out, solid wood accents, the brick arches and the subtle use of Roca Maya on column and wall details. And the 3 most important factors to consider when buying real estate? Location, location, location. Sorry. I cant help myself sometimes. But this house is only 200m to a beautiful sandy beach, 30 minutes to Cancun International airport, 12 minutes to the grocery store in Puerto Morelos and only 20 minutes to Av. Constituyentes, in the heart of Playa del Carmen. Enjoy golf? You are only a 6 minutes drive to the par 3 Nicklaus Design Golf Course at Vidanta Riviera Maya where residents can play for as little as $750 Mexican pesos, or 10 minutes drive to the Iberostar Playa Paraso Golf Club where residents can play the Championship course for only $1400 Mexican pesos (prices at time of listing). Want more golf? Youre less than a 30 minutes drive to a handful of other world-class courses including the PGA Riviera Maya, El Camalen @ Mayakoba and Gran Coyote Golf at Corasol. This gated residential community called Playa Paraiso truly is a hidden gem. The growth of the area cant be overstated, with the Mayan Train, the Tulum International Airport and now plans to expand 2 existing terminals at Cancun International Airport, that saw record growth again of more than 7% increase in passenger traffic in 2023, handling over 33 million people. The Riviera Maya attractions are also too many to list, but begin with the natural adventure parks such as Xavage, Xcaret, Xel Ha, Xenses, hundreds of cenotes to explore and now a new Outlet Plaza with attractions such as go-karting, hockey rink, loads of shopping, and many more attractions to come. What else? There is a residential project just approved just across the highway and maybe a mile
