This beautifully appointed home is perfect for families or groups of friends who want to get away from it all! Enjoy drinks on the large terrace and pool deck, sip coffee in the morning at the granite breakfast bar and set up your own cocktail hour with appetizers at your outdoor kitchen adjacent to the pool. This is a gourmet's delight with plenty of space for entertaining, parties and sun.

Speaking of food, the chef designed outdoor kitchen is a centerpiece and is designed for all your cooking whims. Foodies love the large commercial grill, 2 burner commercial gas cooktop, large sink, purified water dispenser and fridge. Lots of electrical outlets outside and a Spanish style roof and lighting assure you can cook everything an anything outside at any time of the day. Take your coffee maker and blender outside for morning smoothies and coffee. Feel free to leave any small appliances outside where they are available for you to use.

For guests who love food but don't like to cook themselves we have private chef references and we also highly recommend Prudi, you housekeeper, as a great cook. Prudi can arrange to come in w her cousin (a professional chef) and prepare any meal/s you wish. (surcharge)

Great stay
We had a lovely stay at Villa Josefina in December of 2023. The property was a perfect size for our family of 6. Everything well appointed, clean and as advertised. Prudi is a huge help and takes care of everything that you need. Cherri provided excellent communication beforehand and was easily reachable. We loved the relaxed feel of Akumal - it fit us perfectly. We all had a wonderful stay and would certainly consider returing again.

Family Get Away
This was the perfect place to get away from it all!! While I prefer more active areas it is after all a pandemic and we couldn't have picked a better place!! The home is very well taken care of by Purdi (who will cook you just about anything you want). We felt at home for the entire stay. Location is away from the center but nothing you couldn't walk to if you wanted or rent a golf cart, they are so cheap here, like $200 for a week! There are also bicycles at the house as well. It is located next to a cenote so on those days you don't want to do too much its a great place to hang out. Communication from the owner was so amazing and she made sure everything was taken care of on her end even after we had to delay our trip a bit she was very accommodating. I would highly recommend this home for almost any occassion!!

Little Mexican Paradise
The home is beautifully decorated, has everything you could need and it’s in a great location. Communication with the owner and her on-site crew was fantastic! If we needed anything taken care of, it was handled immediately. The pool was a great plus, my kids spent a lot of time in it! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful trip with small families!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Josefina. The town is very charming and the house is located close to a lagoon we took the kids snorkeling in. The pool was fantastic, the kids were in it every day. The host purchased some pool toys for our stay which was so nice. The staff, Prudi & Eddy, were very nice and helpful. There are multiple fun points of interest a short car ride away. Highly recommend!!

Great house & location.
Villa Josefina was perfect for our group, Prudi & company were extremely attentive and helpful. The villa is at the end of the road next to a nice restaurant & half block from Yal-Ku lagoon. It’s only about 1.5 miles to the arch at the entrance to Akumal Beach with more restaurants and a Super Chomak. Bikes are helpful, or a golf cart if you’re on the lazy side. We visited Tulum & Coba, but there is plenty to do in the area, next time we visit we’ll stay a week!
