About this property
Beachfront Home with Two Private Units & Stunning Views
- Two self-contained rental units in one beach house! Ideal for friends traveling together, or families with grown children. Enjoy togetherness & privacy both! Hang out in the larger Main Residence by day, but enjoy the privacy and quiet of your own space by night. You'll be right in popular Maya Beach, within walking distance of bars and restaurants, a grocery store, and a car/golfcart rental agency.
Joya del Mar is a beautifully located vacation home with two private units - perfect for sharing between two couples or a family. The bigger Main Residence has a full kitchen, a large living room and a king bedroom. From an outdoor staircase you access the Upper Suite, a 1-bedroom with its own bathroom and small kitchenette. Being a separate entrance and with open railings, it's not suitable for kids but it's perfect for adults wanting to share a beach house but have plenty of privacy.
You'll have direct beachfront access to the public, but quiet, Maya Beach. Both the Upper Suite and Main Residence offer large balconies on the beach side, with non-stop views.

Stay in August 2024
Upon arrival looked nice. Opened door to bottom suite had a terrible "cat/urine/spray" smell. A/C in living room not working, serviced during stay but stopped again several days after serviced. Lots of road noise from traffic (hardware store across the street). Drawers in kitchen did not work properly, drain in shower kept popping out. A lot of little things that all added up.
It is right on the beach and just a couple of houses down from Maya Beach Bistro. Property Manager very responsive.
We have travelled to Placencia for the past six years; this stay unfortunately rated among the worst. I would not recommend this place for the price they are asking. Dwelling has not been taken care of.
