Checking into Paraíso Sur was a breeze and easy to find. This was our 6th trip to Isla and the house had some of the best views of any property we have been! We enjoyed the courtyard pool every morning and the rooftop pool every late afternoon. The outdoor seating are under the palapa was our favorite spot to hang out. The house was one of the most well stocked rentals I have ever stayed in and thoughtful details made it a comfortable home. As a bonus, amazing shrimp tacos are just across the street as well as a newer well stocked convenience store. For future renters, just be aware as there is only one bedroom on the ground floor and it is a steep spiral staircase to the upper two floors. Was not a problem for us but our 80 year old friend not staying with us couldn’t climb them. Would recommend this home highly!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our week in Isla, thanks to Leslie and her lovely property! The house had literally everything you could imagine you would need and more! There was so much space, both inside and out to spread out, we loved the pools and palapa, hammocks, everything! The view from the rooftop was stunning! We will be back!

First off, top notch communication from the owner Leslie. She asked on the first day how everything went with check in. Made us feel at ease and comfortable. Then the house itself was perfection. You’ll be amazed once you step on that top roof deck. We were! The air conditioning inside was excellent. Sufficient kitchen utensils/plates/bowls/etc. The washer and dryer worked fine. Great outdoor pool, jacuzzi, and palapa. We felt safe and left our golf cart parked outside the gate, no issues. The spiral staircase seems daunting at first but easy to climb, just have help getting your luggage up and down it if needed. The location was Close to The Joint, Punta Sur, snorkeling and then a 20 minute GCart ride up to Hidalgo Street. We got used to the low level street noise as golf carts rode by, music from the restaurant played, and the horses and chickens did their thing. Inside though, you don’t hear any of this. Maintenance does come by (depending on the length of your stay) to ensure everything is working and supplied properly. Overall it was an excellent stay and we have been talking about the house ever since we got back home. You’re going to love it!

We had the absolute best time at Paraiso Sur. The house was super clean and more than stocked with kitchen necessities, beach towels, and bedding. The jetted pool upstairs was amazing and the roof view of the ocean spectacular. We loved our nights out under the palapa in the tall chairs playing dice and having drinks. The property manager Drew was just lovely and the location was perfect for us. The sounds of birds and our resident iguanas were so fun to wake up to. We can't wait to go back.

Paraiso Sur was a beautiful property. We stayed as a group of 5. Plenty of room for all of us. The house was cleaner than any we have stayed in on Isla. Sunsets on the roof were awesome! We are booking for next year!

This is our first experience of vacationing outside of All-Inclusives, so I was a bit anxious. I soon discovered that there was absolutely no need for concern! Paraiso Sur was so comfortable - from the house layout to the bedding to the views...oh those views! The rooftop patio was a great place for a game of cards by day (with mojitos, of course!) and a romantic sunset dinner by night! There was so much space to have quiet time if you needed. As to the aforementioned mojitos, the kitchen is fully equipped with everything that we thought we needed and more - including a blender! It felt just like a home away from home. The house was spotless on arrival. Loads of beach towels, linens, dishes, cups/mugs, pots & pans ... even more than I have at home! The palapa area was used every day to enjoy breakfast and watch Isla come alive with visitors from the mainland coming to visit Garrafon Natural Reef Park (just a few minutes walk down the road!) and Punta Sur (a few minutes walk past Garrafon). Paraiso Sur is in an amazing spot for exploring the south end of the island! It was super easy to flag down a cab outside the secure gate of Paraiso Sur - we always got one within a few minutes. Head downtown to see the artisan markets or stroll along Playa Norte or Playa Centro! I particularly enjoyed coming back "home" to float in the heart-shaped pool and listen to some music...an amazing place to just relax and not deal with the time share BS at the resorts, and vendors constantly trying to sell stuff. I think I might be an all-inclusive convert now and we can't wait to come back! Thanks Leslie, for answering my 1000 questions!! :)

Isla Mujeres is one of our favorite destinations. This home is our favorite VRBO rental in the US, Canada, and Mexico. This truly felt like a home rather than a house. We were a family of two adults and three teens. There were enough cups, plates, and bowls that we could have been a party 10 times that size before running out of dishes. There weren’t quite as many beach towels, but we could have used a new one each day without having to do laundry until day four. Beds were so comfy it was hard to drag teens from them each morning, despite the lure of the island. House and outdoor areas were spotless as were all the kitchen utensils, dishes, and silverware. The home is easy to secure with locking gates, doors, and windows and ample parking for a golf cart or two. The location is within walking distance of several restaurants, beach clubs, and Punta Sur. Between the rooftop, 2nd floor balcony, ground floor pool area, palapa area, and hammock patio, there are enough options to escape winds, sun, rain, and family members...if needed. An unexpected welcoming package of chips, salsa, Corona, and a bag of coffee made our first night and morning more comfortable. The teens were delighted to see the towel animals on the beds in each room (and so were we). The little extras included a great selection of DVDs & books, binoculars, portable blue tooth speaker, numerous board games including Cards Against Humanity and flashlights. A few of our favorites included Cards Against Humanity in the evenings under the palapa; the short island-wide power outage the night of the blood moon watching from the roof top as the clouds floated past; morning sunrises and coffee from the rooftop listening to the island come awake; watching the flotilla of boats pass in the bay; and the front row, roof top seat to the sun setting each evening. We can’t recommend this home highly enough.

As I was sitting in the pool on the rooftop deck feeling the ocean breeze while watching twilight descend over the southern tip of the island ( I could see both the sea and bay) my vacation truly started. The van service from the airport was seamless and I was on the ferry in less than an hour after landing. Paraiso Sur is about a 15 minute golf cart ride down the island and from the minute you walk through the gate, you know it is going to be fun. From the pool in the front yard to the very large palapa with awesome furniture (possibly one of the biggest tables I have seen) to the well laid out house it was just as expected. Three large bedrooms all with on suites and a fully equipped kitchen took care of the indoor needs but frankly we were outside pretty well all the time. When we were inside the air conditioning was so great as it was pretty warm mind you it was June. The Island was a lot of fun. So many interesting local restaurants and bars kept the evening hours busy and the main beach was a great place to hang out during the day. The water was clean and there were lots of refreshments and food to be had. Try out the beach umbrella service. Very reasonable and made for a relaxing day at the beach without having to bring a lot of stuff yourself. The town itself is quite busy especially on the weekend and is a nice mix of locals and tourists. Great weather, great food , great people and a great house. Hard to beat. Thanks Leslie

Leslie's home was exactly as described. We enjoy being away from the hustle of the city. Just a block away from the Joint. It is not directly on the water, but you have plenty of ocean view. House is in great condition and everything was perfectly clean. We would visit again. Erik

This was our 5th trip to Isla, each time we have stayed at Punta Sur (South Point). This house was beautiful, and Leslie made the trip even easier by having a great property manager, and a neighbor who was also extremely helpful. The beds were extremely comfortable, kitchen was set up very nicely and we had zero problems with anything. As someone mentioned earlier, there are many places for people to have their own along time if desired. Just a wonderful stay all the way around, you'll definitely love this place! Scott McMeekan

We loved our stay at Paraiso Sur. It was spotless, well stocked and had the best outdoor spaces we have experienced yet in our vacation rentals. We loved the privacy, not only because it's a private gated yard, but because there were so many spaces to choose to hang out, to be with others or enjoy relaxing time on one's own. Always a sunny place, always a shady place! We loved the views, the birds, the landscaping, the location on the South end of the Island (our favourite). We brought 3 family members who had never experienced Isla Mujeres before, and they all loved it as much as we do. It is close to The Joint (reggae bar) but they shut down early evening and the music was not an issue for us. The stairs are a bit steep, but charming. Each bedroom has a private bath (excellent). And the artwork on the walls is lovely. We had a couple of maintenance issues. One phone call and the property manager was right on it. Service was excellent in every way. I was a bit worried because the stove was not a gas cooktop, but it worked wonderfully. We ate almost as many meals there as at the wonderful restaurants. (Too many to name, but El Patio is our very favourite). Our favourite new place is La Tarima...so relaxed there, and so delicious. Go on Sunday morning for wonderful 3 person band from Argentina. And of course you cannot beat the Beach! We definitely recommend staying here!

Gorgeous house and outdoor spaces!!!

Everything was great Thanks Darrell McNutt

This home is fabulous. It is located at the south end of the island and is so quiet. The gentle breeze from the water comes into the palapa and is wonderful. The pool/hot tub are so refreshing after the warm sun hits your skin. The house has all the amenities and the bedrooms are so comfy with wonderful beds. We stayed there with our 3 adult children and they did not want to leave. Martin is great with any issues you have and they cleaned our house once during our visit and it was so nice to come back in with everything in place. The house has safes in each room and we felt very safe/secure the entire time. The owner has left so many extras for our comforts...books/DVD/beach bags/sunscreen...etc....

This property was a little heaven on the island. The property manager had turned on the lights and started the A/C for us prior to our arrival late in the evening. We were also greeted with cold beer and snacks! Large bottled water service is provided in the house. The house was spotless and the pool was clean and refreshing. Each bedroom has it's own A/C which was a plus. Plenty of pool towels were provided and the kitchen was stocked nicely with utensils and several cooking supplies (spices, oil, ect) The outside entertaining area was a dream. Covered BBQ area next to pool with an outside bathroom made staying "home" so enjoyable. The outside decks on both the second and third floor gave us plenty of space to spread out. The location is a ways from downtown, golf cart is a must. However, our family enjoyed being out of the crush of tourists. The property manager checked in with us a couple of times and the owner emailed me during our stay to see how things were going. Very attentive without being intrusive. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone who is headed to Isla Mujeres. Without a doubt I will stay here next time I am in the area!

We stayed at Paraiso Sur for a week with adults and teenagers. The location couldn't have been more perfect. There were many fun and tasty restaurants within walking distance. We were drawn out too frequently by the fun and live music at The Joint less than 5 minutes away. We found 3 amazing snorkeling beaches with 10 minutes of the house, all with nice sandy beaches. The house felt so clean and bug free! I actually slept like a log every night as I didn't fear bugs getting into the place. We split our time between the pool, the huge shaded palapa, and the roof top patio - each deck perfect for a different time of day. There was so much seating in each area that we could seat all of us no matter where we were. Inside the house was so comfortable! Each room had it's own bathroom so we could spread out as we wanted. We cooked frequently on the BBQ as well as on the stove - both worked perfectly which hasn't always been the case with other vacation rentals in Mexico. I was glad to be away from the chaos of "downtown" but still just a 15 minute drive away when we wanted a change of scenery. There was a beautiful walk you can take from the house that took you along the water and looped back to the house. Rent a cart as there is so much too see on this beautiful island. We will be back for sure!

Everything from start to finish was perfect. Leslie was helpful and prompt in our pre-trip communication. The house was immaculate and well appointed. My husband and I were traveling with our two young adult daughters. The house is set up where there are so many options outside in which to "chill," as they say. The roof top deck, the deck off the bedrooms, the pool area and the thatch covered patio. The pool area and the patio are next to each other and there is a space in between where we could rinse our snorkel gear, etc. Loved having a bathroom outside! Loved being able to eat our home cooked meals in the shade. A lot of space to be together or alone. We appreciated each room having its own bath with a walk-in shower. The wifi worked well enough for our daughters either keep in touch with work or to submit projects for school. Using Jullian's golf cart for the week was a big plus. He even gassed it up at night for us. Wonderful snorkeling was just two doors down for cheap and some cool beach clubs were within a few minutes golf cart ride. We had been to the island before, but stayed at a resort. This house was a perfect rental. Gave us the privacy and quiet were craving, but easy access to everything fun and adventurous. The girls loved the shopping and we all loved the diving, snorkeling and the restaurants. We recommend Oliver's (sit down by the docks), Rubens, The Joint for Happy Hour, and our favorite: Bastos Grill. Our dinning style is casual and cheap.

Our group of 2 couples along with 3 children ages 5, 12 and 20 stayed here from 3/13/17 - 3/20/17. The house fit all of our needs and then some. Plenty of outdoor space to relax and unwind and if you wanted to sit inside you could connect to the wifi to play on your gadgets or stay connected to those at home. The house was equipped with a nice assortment of books and DVD's to help unwind at night. The views from the roof top are wonderful! It allows you to watch the sun rise or set. The ground level pool was nice to cool off in on hot sunny days and we utilized it a lot during our stay. Leslie helped arrange for us to rent the neighbors golf cart for a very fair price which was nice to have for when we wanted to head into town or go to the beach. We had absolutely no problems while staying here. The cleaners were polite and did a fantastic job and the property manager was always kind and would stop in to see how things were going or if we needed anything. Leslie was easy to get a hold of and made sure that things were going well during our stay as well. She's doing a great job! The pictures don't do this place justice. It's worth seeking out if you'd like a nice relaxing vacation in a house that provides comfort and privacy. Our group would have no problem staying here again. Rent with confidence and get ready to have a great time! Thank you Leslie for sharing your piece of heaven with us. :)

We had a family reunion at this lovely house - all our adult children and significant others live a 5-6 hour plane ride away from us and as our son and fiancée live in Playa del Carmen it seemed a perfect place to meet up. We had loads of room for 6/7 adults, there was never a feeling of being on top of one another. We made good use of the main pool and often migrated to the roof to use that sundeck and pool later in the afternoons - saw a lot of amazing sunsets from the roof terrace. The huge palapa was a godsend for anyone seeking shade and our venue for lunch and dinners at home. We had such good weather that we never needed to eat indoors. We enjoyed a video from the collection one evening. The house is kept beautifully clean by Rosa who visited half way through our stay. There are tons of spare towels and left over spices etc in the kitchen cupboards. Huge jugs of water are provided which is much appreciated. There's a huge supermarket halfway to the main town where you can find everything you could possibly need - 10 mins max on the golf cart. A golf cart is essential for getting round easily and we all loved zipping around the island in it. We only used a taxi when we all needed to go out together - we could squeeze 5 on the golf cart when needed! Although the house is at the southern end of the island nothing is further away than 15 minutes on the golf cart. We were only 1 block from The Joint restaurant and bar - we enjoyed some great live music from there! Garrafon Park with zip lining, kayaking and other activities is also a block away - our adult kids had a wonderful day there. The only horses on the island live opposite the house, as well as a very loud rooster!! There's a beach club with water slides and stuff for children a couple of blocks away (Parque Los Sueños). We loved Olivia's Restaurant downtown (you have to make a reservation) - Eastern Mediterranean cuisine and amazingly good. For a cheaper experience try GreenVerde and Mango Cafe. The nicest sandy beach is Playa Norte (be warned there can be a lot of loud music too) but there are a number of small beaches with loungers and bars within a few minutes of the house heading in the direction of the town. These mostly open for business around noon. There's a turtle beach with turtles in a pool which would entrance any children. If we return to Isla Mujeres we will certainly return to this wonderful house and location. Thanks Leslie!

We found the house to be lovely and well kept. We enjoyed the views from the top and even from the back kitchen window in the morning. We spent a lot of time on the palapa either relaxing or preparing meals on the grill. unfortunately the pool in front and on top are too cool for us to enjoy, a hot tub on the top would be nice. The stairs going to upper floors my become a challenge for a person with any type of disability. We would definitely stay there again

This was our second visit to this home and we definitely be going back! The place was spotless when we arrived and the cleaners came mid vacation to clean up as well. We had no problems with the home during both visits. The set up is great with a bathroom for each bedroom which are separate enough that we never hear anyone else moving about. The outdoor areas are great any time of the year, good for sitting outside in the rain or to get out of the sun! We rented the golf cart from Julian (he lives just down the street) and the caretaker came around to ensure we were getting on well. Everyone is friendly and very helpful. The beach club around the corner was great for access to the water and some great snorkeling! The Joint down the street has the best fish tacos! Its a 10$ cab ride to town, but it is nice to be out of the hustle and bustle of North Beach.

Paraiso Sur is as beautiful and well accommodated as described. The kitchen is well supplied and having 3 bedrooms each with its own bathroom is the best way to go. The house offers every comfort needed plus more. The pool has plenty of lounge chairs and is private and relaxing. I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed my vacation and the house. We ended up making more meals at the house rather than going out because it was so nice just being around the pool, or under the cabana or on the rooftop patio enjoying a glass of wine and the view! The rooftop patio was my favorite place with a view from both sides and being able to see the sunrise and sunset was the perfect beginning and end of each vacation day! Our stay was perfect and look very forward to our next stay at Paraiso Sur on the beautiful Isla Mujeres!
