Hippie Bob & Diana's Beachfront Penthouse; Chankanaab Area

This condominium is next to the World Class Chankanaab Park and provides the highest view ( 3rd floor) in the area. From your balcony, watch the beautiful gem called the Caribbean, the spectacular sunsets, cruise ships, or the twinkling lights of Playa de Carmen at night.

Take a look at our Beach house in the same resort; VRBO #150035 & #4119701.

Enjoy your close proximity to the Caribbean by taking a few steps to our beach and entering the only inland coral reef in the world, giving you access to more than 60 species of tropical fish, crustaceans, and corals. Also, because your vacation is our priority, maid service three times a week cleaning is provided. You can even have a massage, pedicure, and manicure on the premises for a very reasonable extra fee! Why leave Paradise when you don't have to? In order that you have complete peace of mind in paradise, we provide free unlimited calls to and from the U.S & Canada. Bringing joy to others is our mission. Experience the joy! Live well, and be happy...

Please visit our other VRBO site #150035 to view our Beach House! 150 feet from the Caribbean and steps from our freshwater pool. Any closer you will get wet...

Beautiful ocean side location
The condo is on the 3rd floor overlooking pool and ocean. Great views from the wraparound deck for morning coffee. Hammock and hanging chair for lazy days. Rooftop palapa was a hit for us, shaded breezy spot to eat and watch the boats go by till sunset. Several 5 gallon pure water jugs provided was very helpful. Grocery store 15 minutes away had all we needed. And Damien’s recommendations for dinner were spot on. Guido’s and azul Madeira were great.

Very nice, quiet place to stay with a small group
Our group was two adults, two teenagers and one 8 year old. We had very good communications with the property Manager before we arrived and found the property exactly as advertised. We wanted a quiet place away from the crowds and were not disappointed. There was plenty of room for everyone and the views were great. We were very pleased with everything and had no problems and would be happy to go back there.

Great property, right on the beach. Fantastic restaurant/bar right next door with music and jet skis. Recommend renting a car, but taxis would work too. Can’t express enough how clean and well maintained this place is. Damien the property manager will meet all your needs and answer all your questions. Skip the hotels, much better value for your $.

Fantastic location
So happy to rent from the Hunters again. This was our 4th or 5th stay and this location is by far the best. Easy snorkeling right out front, just steps away. The condo is beautifully decorated and the beds slept better than ours at home. Perfect location for a relaxing vacation. Restaurants, shopping and bars all very close. Water sports next door.Thanks again to Bob and Diana.

Great location for IM COZUMEL
We rented scooters for the week and were able to get everywhere we needed to go. On race morning I walked down to transition to drop off nutrition and then hopped on one of the provided buses to get to the swim start. It was perfect.

A fantastic vaction in paradise
My wife and I (+2 tweens) had the opportunity to spend 10 days in this property. We could not be happier. Everything was in top notch shape and the grounds were immaculate. The penthouse offered all the amenities you can think of and was very clean. The communication was the owner was also flawless. I could not recommend this place enough but I'd like to keep it as a secret in order to rent it in the future!

Amazing all Around!!
I have been to Cozumel many times and very familiar with the island. The Penthouse at Paradise Condominiums is one of my new favorite places to stay! The condominium & amenities are great; the grounds are well manicured; the pool and the beach area are top rated. I enjoyed the fact it was between two beach clubs so if we desired extra drinks or eats it was all right there but not so close to invade our privacy. The condominiums are close enough to town for an evening out and also in perfect location for a trip to the other side of the island. Thanks Hippie Bob, Diana and Collette for allowing us to stay at your beautiful paradise.

just what the doctor ordered
I have stayed at Bob & Diane's on several occasions. Everything is as advertised. If you are looking to get away and experience peace and quiet in a beautiful tropical setting, this is the place for you. The walk from the coffee machine to the water front is about 50 feet. The snorkeling off the property is very nice. And it is a delight to have a glass of wine by the pool at night and contemplate who put all those stars up in the sky. There are numerous activities in Cozumel, and the "downtown" dining options are plentiful and delicious no matter what your preference for cuisine. I'll keep coming back.

Week in Paradise at Penthouse Condo
Wonderful week at Hippie Bob's Penthouse condo. Great views from the condo and rooftop palapa. The condo was comfortable and very nice and right on the beach. We walked next door to Tortuga's Beach Club for breakfast most mornings. Jordy, the manager, was very helpful and meet us when we arrived with cold beer! Ever time I emailed Bob for information he responded very quickly. We didn't have a problem getting a taxi and the ride to town was 10.00 US. The maid came 2 times while we were there and the condo was stocked with everything you could need. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to rent again next year.

Condo and location were Perfect!
I highly recommended Hippie Bob and Diana's Beachfront Paradise Condo in Cozumel! We were in Cozumel celebrating our daughter's 27th birthday with 2 of her good friends and wanted a place we could spread out, relax and be right on the beach. This condo checked off all the boxes. It was clean, had 3 bedrooms with comfy beds, a nice living room area and kitchen, and a beautiful balcony where we enjoyed our coffee every morning. The condo was very close to Chankanaab National Park, which we've visited on cruise ship stops in the past, and alwys love going to. We did rent a car which helped with grocery stops and visits to downtown. But mainly we loved hanging out at the condo, down by the lovely and clean pool which is literally steps from the beach! Damian, the property manager, was awesome and very easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend Hippe Bob and Diana's condo if you're going to beautiful Cozumel!!

Everything we Hoped For!
Our family of 6 spent a truly spectacular week in Cozumel at Hippie Bob's Penthouse. The property was spacious, well maintained, with plenty of towels, silverware, kitchen supplies, snorkel gear, welcoming fruit and flowers---all the stuff you need coupled with amazing generosity. Its location couldn't be better---two steps from the house to the ocean and really exciting, excellent and safe daily snorkeling. The complex itself is lovely, too, and not so large as to be off-putting. It was all so very easy---from Bob's regular and delightful communications to our being met at the airport by Jordi, the on-site property manager. And all for a very fair price. We rented a car and had no difficulty driving around the island; we particularly enjoyed an excursion to Mayan ruins in the center of the island and the opportunity to visit the non-touristed parts of the island. We really had a tremendous time and look forward to returning as soon as we can. Perhaps someday we can even meet the legendary Hippie Bob and Diane.

Ideal Location, both for Beach-Bums and for Triathletes
We brought a large entourage of family and friends (12 in all) for a stay at this property and another unit in the same development for just over two weeks in late November, leading up to the Cozumel Ironman triathlon on 11/27. The location was ideal for pre-race training, and for race-day spectating. The unit itself was clean and comfortable, well-maintained and enjoyable. The views from the outdoor terrace are as wonderful as the posted photos suggest, especially for quiet cup of coffee at sunrise and for a wind-down beverage at sunset. Our three grown kids especially enjoyed the availability of the on-property pool and beach areas for lounging and sunning, as well as the convenience of several lunch/snacking options within a few minute's walk, at Playa Uvas Beach Club and Varaderos Restaurant. Also, Chankanaab Park, with its many eco-tourism and dolphin-watching opportunities, is just a few minute's walk the other way. The only minor drawback to the property's location turned out to be getting a taxi in the evenings, when we wanted to head downtown to dine and shop. At most other times, taxis are plentiful on both sides, either at Chankanaab or at Uvas. Bob and Diane provide a very helpful and detailed "local info" book, with reviews of their favorite eateries and sights on the island. We worked our way through most of these over our 2-week stay, and found them to be quite accurate. Several minor maintenance issues arose while we were in this property, but these were handled in a speedy, effective way by Jordi, Bob's on-site property manager. In summary, we were very pleased with our choice of this property and this location, which served us quite well both as a triathlon training venue and as a great spot for a beach-centered family vacation. Bob and Diane could not have been more accommodating and supportive, and we look forward to our return visits.

A memorable week at Bob and Diane's penthouse condo
We had a great stay and felt very much at home. The views from the condo were spectacular--what a treat! The condo was comfortable and had everything we needed. It was clean and nicely decorated. We were there with two adult sons so the 3 bedrooms were perfect. The beds and bedrooms were comfortable. Maid service was great and more than we expected (they came 3 times during the week). Jordy, the manager, was always responsive and helpful. We loved snorkeling right off the beach and swimming in the pool, especially at sunset. The location was very convenient--away from the crowds but not too far from town either. We were there for a triathlon and the bike race went right by the condo. We then walked to the finish, a little more than a mile away. We rented a car from Thrifty as Bob recommended and had no problems. It would have been a real hassle if we hadn't. We heard about potential problems with car rentals, but we didn't have any, as long as you know you'll have to pay for liability insurance (no getting around it). We almost always parked at the Mega Supermarket and walked from there when we wanted to go into town. The drive to town was about 15 minutes. We cooked meals in the kitchen most days and found the appliances worked well and we had pretty much all the cookware, utensils, etc., that we needed. We went on 4 scuba dives and they picked us up right at the beach in front of the condos. We had lovely meals at Rolandi's and the Money Bar. We enjoyed the local museum where there was a nice restaurant overlooking the water for lunch. I contacted Bob a few times before the trip and he always responded right away. We would highly recommend this property and if we find ourselves back there, we'll definitely want to stay there again. It was hard to leave!

We absolutely LOVE this location. The parents were able to do their morning walks and join us on our quiet little beach. Easy parking or taxi access. And our scuba trip picked us up right from the dock next door. Far enough away from all the cruise ships and the best snorkeling right out front. The kitchen and rooftop patio is amazing for us so we didn't have to eat out all the time. Kitchen is very well stocked with appliances and place is just so comfortable. We came back for the second time with more people again because we love it so much!
