Villa Mykonos

Villa Mykonos was a wonderful, peaceful oasis for our group to relax while enjoying a very busy time in the Zipolite area. This is definitely a home, not a resort, and has the charm to match it. There are amazing features like indoor/outdoor living (all the living areas are outdoors), a large enough kitchen and dining area for our group of 7 to have meals together, a wonderful pool that has a view of the ocean and spacious individual rooms/bathrooms to wind down and sleep. The architecture is stunning, with everything seemed to have been built in and purposeful. It comes with some quirks that homes have, but felt like it had been taken care of and cared for significantly throughout its 30 year life. The best part is Ana Laura, the host. She was a wealth of knowledge about the area, how to get to Zipolite, where to eat, taxis, etc. She also welcomed us into her home with open arms and made us feel so welcome. My entire group loved the stay and can't wait to go back. There are two folks who might want to stay elsewhere: those looking for the benefits of a full-service resort, and those who want to be steps away from Zipolite (it's a 20-30 minute walk). But everyone else, make sure to keep this one on your list!

Excellent property that we found as a group of 5 after our original hotel overbooked…and I’m so glad we did. Ana-Laura went above and beyond as a communicative, proactive hostess who did everything she could to help us with our stay from assisting us to order a pizza to giving us a reliable taxi number. The gardener and cleaning lady were thorough as well.The house itself has stunning 270 degree views of the nearby lighthouse, ocean, and Zipolite from some terraces. Although the quality of views differs, the rooms we found to largely be of similar quality - trade off for better views was weaker water pressure in the showers. Superb indoor-outdoor living with lots of places to eat & sit; we barely used the pool because we love the beach but it was so refreshing when we did. Hammocks galore. It IS still a beach house in Oaxaca: it is a little weather-worn, there will be bugs, everywhere in Zipolite uses septic, the kitchen is well-equipped but basic, but it was reasonably priced for the busiest week of the year and we are already planning our return trip!One more word on the location: your trade-off for quiet, sweeping views is this is at least a 15 min hilly walk to Playa del Amor / restaurants / stores, and a car or scooter is recommended. We found it great for our group and away from the noise of Zipolite (although you will hear dogs and roosters!). Overall an excellent house.

Everything was great, we had a great time and Anne-Laure was a great host. The property is really nice, the kitchen is a bit outdated, but it was equipped with everything we needed to cook and have great meals. The common areas were perfect to hang out. All the common areas are open in the air which is great because the wind help with the heat. but we had a really windy night that made it very difficult to stay outside. The pool was great. We rented a car and there are several towns beaches at short driving distance. Thank you Anne-Laure we had a great time! :)

I rented this place to meet my husbands family for the first time and it was awesome! Such a beautiful house and everyone associated with the property ( owner, to house keeper to pool guy) we’re great. Loved the views and the pool was a life saver! One day, we will go back
