The most beautiful location, right on the beach and well appointed. The house staff were absolutely wonderful and made amazing breakfasts - and pina coladas! We are dreaming of returning to this magical home. Thank you for sharing this slice of paradise with us.
We could not speak more highly of the property, staff and owners. The house was beautiful and very clean! Eric and Paula made our stay!! If you don't have them cook for you, you are missing out! They are wonderful people too! They made sure we had anything we wanted and more while we were in Tulum. The house has a great location and you can walk to so many fun restaurants and shops from the back door. It definitely exceeded our expectations!
We stayed at Casa Carolina for a bachelorette and had the best time! Beautiful house/property, wonderful location within walking distance to lots of restaurants and bars, warm and welcoming staff, very safe property - no complaints at all! Highly recommend!

Amazing service, but ask for security
Casa Carolina is a gorgeous house, well-situated, with spacious rooms and bathrooms. It is very well-maintained and looks exactly like the photos on the listing. Eric and Paula went above and beyond to make our group feel comfortable. They bought our groceries, cooked us truly delicious meals, cleaned up, made delightful cocktails, and invested their time and energy in making our stay feel special.
However, there was a security incident on our second to last night, after we accidentally left a window unlocked and an intruder came in while we were home. Luckily, nobody was hurt, and Eric/Paula responded quickly, contacting the authorities and callling the local manager to meet with us. He hired a security guard for our last night. Unfortunately, the security guard made some of the women feel uncomfortable when they returned late into the night, and he appeared to be sleeping and disoriented. He wouldn't let them in to the gate until he went and woke up Eric to come out.
To the owner's credit, he comped one of our dinner service fees and reimbursed the price of the phone that was stolen. He told us he'd never had a security incident before and that he'd be increasing security measures (video surveillance, motion security lights, a more reliable security company) going forward. He also said that private security is available to guests upon request.

Incredible
Wow! Truly incredible stay in Tulum.
We were recently at Casa Carolina for 5 nights with family as my fiancé and I got married at a nearby venue. All 10 of us were so impressed, the pictures did not do this place justice. It is located close to many restaurants and hotels, but in a slightly quieter little area because the hotel next door appears to be closed right now.
Eric and Paula were the real stars of the show. They treated us like royalty the entire stay. They take such incredible care of their guests and go above and beyond every day. They are the most fantastic cooks in Tulum as well. We enjoyed every breakfast and the dinner they made for us. The whole stay was perfect and we will definitely recommend this villa to friends and family.

spacious, beautiful beautiful beach,
casa Carolina was just wonderful and accommodating. Best amenity is the caretaker and his wife. They were so gracious, did our dishes, had groceries available upon our arrival, and took such amazing care of us. We hosted a welcome reception for my son's bridal party and familes and the house easily accommodated everyone.

Central Tulum - The Perfect Villa
With its enviable location, in middle of the best part of Tulum, the street side of Casa Carolina is surrounded by the fantastic boutique hotels, restaurants, spa's, shops and bars; an east walk to anything that you could want. The beach side side of the house is quiet, private, discrete and on the beach.
The house is beautifully built and perfect for a vacation. Comfortable beds; tons of space; efficient, but generous showers; excellent ac and luxury are beautifully combined with an appropriate local design, and a clean and airy space.
We took a family party of 10 people (5 couples). Everything was perfect, everything.
Watching the sun rise from the bedroom window, falling asleep with the sound of breaking waves, awesome dinners cooked by Eric and Paola of the freshest fish, best meat and most delicious ceviche and ambling across the beach to swim in the ocean.
Casa Carolina could not be more perfect, we loved every minute of it.
The icing on the cake are Eric and Paola. They make the vacation. They are the live in housekeeper and cook and were welcoming, thoughtful, kind, helpful and went out of their way to make us feel at home. Their cooking is out of this world and we were sad to say goodbye.
Casa Carolina is a truly wonderful vacation experience and the best Villa in Tulum.

Amazing destination wedding and family/friends tri
To say that Casa Carolina met the expectations of my wife, myself, and our close friends and family that traveled to Tulum with us for our wedding would be an understatement! Matt and team were great and easy to work with as we planned the trip and had multiple things in the air. When we arrived the house was even better than the pictures, the rooms and entire property more spacious than we anticipated, and walking through our private backyard to our beachfront feet from our back door set us into vacation mode immediately. Eric made an incredible sit-down dinner for everyone who traveled in that day, again making our arrival even better than we could have asked (Eric's cooking is arguably the best in Tulum, giving him free reign to help guide meals is the best decision you can make-on our next trip I think we will prepare for the week to have all meals on-site at the Casa). Eric and Paula, the house caretakers, are incredible and take great pride in the property and the ability for their guests to completely relax-providing anything and everything (we even had a toddler with us that Eric ensured had what she needed!). The location is perfect, in the middle of Tulum's best restaurants and most desired beaches, and walkable/bikable to just about everything in Tulum. The day of the wedding the Casa was turned into our ceremony and reception area and was perfect for our intimate gathering, made for stunning and unforgettable photos and memories. The house has good satellite TV (we watched the Super Bowl there), decent WiFi for Tulum, and is armed with all the amenities-you could be completely comfortable and at ease without stepping foot off the property. The only downside of the trip is leaving, we cannot wait for our next trip to Casa Carolina soon!

Our Son's wedding in Tulum
Casa Carolina is a fabulous location. Our group of ten each had our own room and bath. The home is spacious and very comfortable and clean. Our housekeepers , Eric and Paula truly made our trip special. They are very friendly people and went above and beyond to make our stay special. The meals we had them prepare were fabulous. We are already talking about our next trip to Casa Carolina

Picturesque vacation home!
The photos don't do it justice. Couldn't have asked for a better house or vacation time. The house is beautiful and sits right on a wonderful beach. The staff is so nice and welcoming.

Pefect Getaway
Where do I begin? Casa Carolina is amazing! There are so many wonderful things about this place. It was my first time to Tulum, and our group of ten could not have picked a better spot to have such an amazing experience.
Casa Carolina has a laid back feel with all the amenities of a world-class hotel. The house felt huge, even at capacity - it is perfect for large groups. The bedroom suites were extremely spacious with private balconies, comfortable beds, and gorgeous bathrooms, and every room had an amazing view of the ocean. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, and the house is extremely clean and well maintained. The pool is relaxing and inviting. Our group loved everything about this luxurious spot and you will too!
Tulum is a bit spread out, but we found the location to be perfect. From Casa Carolina you could walk in either direction to a large selection of restaurants, including renowned Hartwood, not to mention all of the great spots along the beach. Heading into town (pueblo) was easy, as taxis were accessible by walking right out the front gate.
The on-site staffers, Paula and Eric, are great hosts and provided us with five star treatment. Eric is an amazing cook and bartender and even went up in the coconut tree to get us fresh coconut water! His fish tacos and ceviche were restaurant quality and brought to you at the table or on the beach. I would also like to mention that they helped set-up airport transfers (which was a headache for us with many people coming from different locations). Eric also ran to the grocery before and during our stay to get us whatever we needed.
Lastly, the real reason you’re heading to Tulum is the beach. As you can see from the pictures, Casa Carolina’s beach looks like a Corona commercial and is unbelievably gorgeous. You literally walk right out of the house unto the whitest, fluffiest sand I have ever felt and the clearest, bluest water imaginable. We spent majority of our trip parked right in our own backyard. It’s also worth mentioning that the sunrise views are an incredible way to wake up each morning.
All you need for a perfect getaway is a reservation at Casa Carolina and your bathing suit!

Family Retreat
My sisters and our families gathered in Tulum with our parents to celebrate our father's 75th birthday. Ages ranged from 20 mos to 75. Casa Carolina was perfect. All the rooms are well appointed and spacious. The villa really is right on the beach!! It was the perfect blend of nicely furnished and comfort. The couple that staffs the villa are first-rate. Definitely have them cook for you. It was a truly wonderful adventure and I wish I was back there right now, listening to the waves and sipping a home-made margarita.
