Marina Turquesa in Puerto Aventuras

Rob Kinnon — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 11:30:00 GMT

We are delivering another penthouse this week at our own Marina Turquesa Condominiums in Puerto Aventuras and Stuart managed to get some nice updated photos of the property and this recently completed unit. The work is very nearly complete. We are still waiting for the delivery of the globes for the external lighting elements and, of course, the elevator. The entrance to the pool area up from the marina is almost done and everything looks just great. While there are countless things we will do differently the next time around, we are very pleased with the outcome.

View from the second floor down to the pool.

The new perimeter wall has been completed and looks pretty. The lamps are awaiting their globes.

Looking up from the marina.

The clients did a bit of their own redesign in the kitchen and it turned out well.

Bathroom with standard fixtures.

Ticul sinks

All the woodwork in these condos was handcrafted onsite!

Oh yeah! A jacuzzi under the stars!

For dining al fresco, an outdoor food prep. area with mini-fridge, sink and a built-in charcoal grill.

In the end, it's really all about the view.

We have just a very few units remaining to sell and, with the holiday high season almost upon us, it is all smooth sailing from here. For pricing and availability click here or on the link above.

Marina Turquesa Condominiums - The Pool is in!!

Rob and Stuart and I visited the jobsite for Marina Turquesa and what a pleasant surprise....our pool is done, filled, clean and beautiful!! The guys were laying the last few tiles of "cool deck" and raking the newly laid sod when we arrived. OMG! We might actually finish this project ;)

A line of palms have been planted along side of the building creating a shady walking path from the parking area to the pool and the marina front.

This the next unit at Marina Turquesa to be delivered, a garden level 2 bedroom that opens right out to the new pool! I know the new owner will be thrilled to see these pictures!

Solid mahogany cabinets.

We now have our carpenters living onsite and the work is moving along quite well. Handcrafted cabinetry and doors makes a huge difference!

Lots of warm red ticul in the bathrooms.

The washer and dryer, plumbed and installed.

Working on the sliding glass door and installing the locking mechanism.

The wide patio opening out to the garden and pool area.

View from one of the penthouse rooftop terraces.

Look at the color of the ocean!

Nice view overlooking the pool.

It's taken us a lot longer to get to this point than we ever could have anticipated but, looking back, I think it was well worth the struggle. We are really proud of the way Marina Turquesa has turned out and excited that the new owners feel the same way. I think I'm ALMOST ready to do it all again!
