Anyone have an opinion about the beach houses adjacent to CoCo View Resort (CCR)?

Opinion? Yes, you're about to be ruined for almost any other tropical dive experience.
Many people express concern about the Playa Miguel Beach Houses being "too far away", but as you noted from the satellite image, and as you'll surely realize upon arrival- they are a minute's bicycle ride away from the main resort center.
I would buy-into the resort meal plan instead of cooking for myself~ most people do. Why? I am profoundly lazy and I prefer to have my 5 dives a day versus kitchen duty. However, having them pre-stock the place with snacks or any food would be a smart idea- you do have a full kitchen in the Playa Miguel Beach Houses.
You will find that although the evenings in the main part of the resort are everything Jimmy Buffett is singing about- the Beach Houses are lit only by the stars and Moon as you sit outside on your own perfectly private deck.
Sometimes, as the main part of the resort (the well known over-the-water Cabanas and Bungalows with 200' of the main Clubhouse) is often fully booked, many visitors are offered housing in the Playa Miguel Beach Houses. This situation causes many to perceive that somehow they are less desirable. Not the case!
Go, have fun. Dive a lot- that's why the place is there!
