Beautiful individual house equipped in Playa del Carmen

This was my 3rd stay at this quaint little house. I was very happy to see my suggestions when asked were taken seriously. The addition of a large amount of fresh water on arrival was a welcome change.

While this house is not your top of the line resort type place to stay, it served our purposes and then some. If you’re looking for luxury, this is not the place…think more cottage type with secondhand furniture and accessories. Although it is older, it is clean. What is fantastic is the location. We didn’t need a car because the Taxi stand is right down the street next to the Sandos hotel. You can take a longer walk and head to the street market for some local fare. There is also a bicycle rental and scooter rental place in the street market. We found the public beach this time..(this was my second year staying there.) the beach is located in Fase 1 - the house is in Fase 2. The pool in the development is just a short walk out the back yard- and no one was ever in it but us! It was clean and private! I like having a kitchen since I go to Playa Del Carmen for my dental work and I’m not sure what my mouth will be able to handle each time. It is on the main street so if you’re looking for quiet, I would look elsewhere.The noise was not bad or a deterrent for me and I plan on staying there again if it’s available when I need it.

the house needs work and getting in and out of playcar 1 was very hard and time consuming.

We had to be in Playa Del Carmen for dental work I needed done. I wanted a place that had a kitchen, because our two week stay was not conducive to eating out all the time. In my hunt for accommodations I came across this cute little house. Playacar is a gated resort community. Safety was never a concern. We had a small glitch with check in. I didn’t realize we would need to submit our picture to issue bracelets that we would need to wear during our stay. We were informed four days before our check-in. I think that should be stated earlier, maybe in the description of the property. We did not rent a car, but the house is just a couple blocks from a taxi stand. We took a taxi to a Walmart for our food. If you take about a 15-20 minute walk there is a street market. (Go left when you leave the house for each of them.) At the street market you can rent bicycles for 250 pesos (approx $15) for 24 hours with no deposit.They have scooters too. I loved our stay. The pool but it was very clean. I loved relaxing in the back yard. Maggie and her husband (the property managers) were EXCELLENT. Quick to respond to our questions and very friendly. The house was very clean and the air conditioning was excellent. We loved that the individual rooms each had their own AC unit. The WiFi worked great. There is no cable TV, only local stations which didn’t bother us as we just used our tablets. Contrary to another review, while the home needs some updating it was fine for us.

We rented this house for two weeks, the reviews looked great. We were very misled by the reviews. We managed to stay one night. Our review will be a little more honest, the house itself is in a great spot, although it's a very busy street. Taxi stand across the street, very convenient. Inside and outside the house are in need of renovation, the yard is so overgrown, therefore lots of Coati around, making for a very loud night. The back deck needs to be cleaned, BBQ replaced. Inside the house, we found it to be a basic frat house and grimy, we put our sweaters on the sofas in order to sit on them, there was a waxy feel to them. This house can accommodate four people, yet there were only three glasses, three plates, one dish towel, one rag and two washcloths to use for dishes for two weeks. No seal on the front door, so the house had creepy crawlers. We did let management know how we felt, we were dismissed. Miguel and Maggie picked us up and drove us to the house, very pleasant and helpful, but unaware of who is renting the house, German is the person who rents on VRBO, they report into Herve, and had no idea who German was, a very disconnected group. We were willing to pay for the night we stayed, and the first week, we hoped to receive a refund for the second week, but we were flatly denied. I would not recommend renting this location.

Linens 1*, showers 1*. House was spacious and clean, outside was not cleaned up. Spent a day working on yard. Location was difficult without a car, 2 miles to gate for playa Del Carmen, groceries required cab rides, nothing convenient without a hike. Playacar is a beautiful gated community; felt entirely safe there. Need a few small repairs; manager answered every msg promptly and all was resolved timely.

Very pleasant stay, perfect for family.

We mostly hung out with friends staying elsewhere so we just crashed here each night.

This place provides lots of privacy while at the same time, feels very safe. The 2 pools are a very short stroll out the back door - exceptionally clean and peaceful!! Terrific A/C, cold fridge, new gas stove, and plenty of hot water.

From walks on the jungle trails to biking to the beach club. It is a little piece of heaven. Everything is biking distance from laundry to groceries and great restaurants. People are friendly and a very family safe community! We will be back :)
