Perfect family spot

Just perfect! We had never done a VRBO outside the US and this was a great experience. The condo was perfect for our family of 4, with two teens. It was exactly as described. Check was easy, staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Location worked great. So many restaurants, stores, beach, and activities within walking distance. 100% recommend staying here.

Great condo in an amazing location

The experience was just as described in the booking. Spacious condo, rooftop pool, great access to the beach and steps from all the restaurants and shopping! I couldn’t have found a perfect place to stay for my birthday. Owner was responsive throughout process and even with a hiccup upon check-in quickly responded to get resolved. I would booked again and highly recommend for anyone looking for a full playa Del Carmen experience that is literally at your door stop.

Don't look anywhere else

Although this Condo is not one of the Flashy new accommodations that are abundant around this area, it is traditional in design and provides everything, in abundance you need for your holidays. Everything you could need is provided by Karin, she keeps in contact with you whilst you are there, checking if things are ok.The rooms are more than ample in dimensions.Spotlessly clean.Yards from a lovely beach and the view from the roof top infinity pool is amazing. This Condo is also situated on Calle 38,what is now a very upmarket street, off 5th Avenue,many restaurants are dotted amongst this tree lined Avenue to the Beach. Check it out on "You Tube".

Perfect Location

Reviews are accurate! Prime location! Easy to get to wherever. Opposite end of ferry but before you know it you are there! The beach right to the left is perfect! One of the better ones if not the best one for the area! We will stay here again! Great communication and check in was super easy! Highly recommend!

Fit our needs

Karin was very responsive with communication. (Took off a star for main bathroom toilet area. It smelled. Just needed cleaned better and possibly move the covered trash can from beside the toilet to in front of toilet so it stayed cleaner. Minor issue.)

Fabulous condo in best location

We stayed here for a week in January and it was more wonderful than I anticipated! The condo was very clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect; lots of restaurants on our street and all the action of fifth avenue a quick walk away. We would stay here again.

Perfect Getaway

My 3 friends and I spent a wonderful week here. The condo is comfortable and exactly as described/pictured. Steps from the beach, shops, restaurants and bars. Very safe walkable neighborhood. We also spent a lot of time at the rooftop pool. Communication with the owner was excellent. We had a couple questions while there and she responded immediately. Would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful experience. The apartment is steps from a great beach and all of the best restaurants! The rooftop infiniti pool with the ocean view was amazing and probably our favorite spot!

Haven

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place was perfect. Beautiful view, nice pools and amazingly quiet considering the location. Like a little haven in the midst of the bustle. 2 min walk from the beach. You can see the beach from balcony and roof top pool. You can even order from restaurants below to roof top. Host supplied beach umbrella, cooler and beach chairs which was awesome. Unfortunately it took us awhile to discover some of these things. My only complaints is I wish a few more basics were provided....like sugar and oil.

Almost Paradise

My wife and I stayed at this location for a week in mid March and we were so happy we did. This property was perfect for us! The location is great, just steps from a public entrance to the beach and a very short walk to 5th avenue were most of the shops, bars, and restaurants are located. There are plenty of restaurants nearby that we could chose from, several at the entrance of the condo that would even deliver to the room or pool side. We went to the rooftop pool daily and it was never crowded and often we had the pool to ourselves. The staff was perfect with checking us in and handling any needs we had. The parking garage was small and limited and I would not suggest anything bigger than a mid-size car. The garage area does stay locked. The unit was spacious and very well equipped and the balcony was a special treat to enjoy our morning coffee. The only criticism we had was my wife and I felt the living room furniture and the king bed were a little uncomfortable. Although I did not have any issues sleeping. We never heard any noise from outside, even when one of the corner restaurants had a St. Patrick's day party. This is the perfect place for rest and relaxation in the quieter area of Playa Del Carmen and 5th avenue. I wouldn't suggest staying here if you are looking for a party central place to go bar hopping, maybe closer to the ferry pier would be more desirable. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to PDC. Thank you Lillian, Karin, and Leo.

Nice Condo but beach was not as expected

Nice condo. When we first checked in the desk manager had no record of us coming. Apparently, miscommunication as no one had told the building of our upcoming stay. Had wished owner/manager had provided some more welcoming items like soap/coffee grounds. We were disappointed to learn that the tide had come up and eroded most of the beach by this property. Don’t expect a large beach when visiting. Owner/manager said after I questioned her beach listing that the amount of beach area varies by season/tide etc. During our stay we also had no access to the rooftop pool as they were working on staining the deck. Disappointed.

Fabulous building and location in Playa

My mother and I had a fantastic time at Karin’s property. I have been to Playa del Carmen for 20 years, but only recently started renting apartments. The apartment is beautiful and spacious. Everything was very clean. The building staff is excellent and helpful. Karin and her assistant in Playa were responsive. I would definitely return again. Pluses: large master bedroom, two nice bathrooms (one en-suite), large living room/dining area, kitchen/terrace. Beach chairs available. Lots of dishes, pots, and pans if you wish to cook (we didn’t cook). Beautiful infinity pool on the roof for adults-only. Perfect location. Quiet and safe. Close to everything. My suggestions rather than cons for the owner: simple instruction sheet for amenities, terrace door lock not easy to close, some items left for guests (small garbage bags and a few cleaning items, maybe half a bottle of water on the water machine), electric tea kettle since I couldn’t seem to get hot water out of the water machine. The building: roof top needs more umbrellas for shade. Huge space and only 3 umbrellas. The chair cushions need to be removed when it rains or changed to prevent mold. Outside of Karin’s apartment there is no automatic hallway light and it is very difficult to see when you return to the apartment (dark corner). I had to ask the building to fix the hallway light which only went on in the evening. Thank you Karin for our lovely time!

Great place and perfect location

We loved this condo. It was very clean and comfortable. A/C worked great and it was very clean and mostly well kept. The location is fantastic and on one of the nicest streets in Playa and so very close to the beach. Surrounded by nice restaurants and convenient stores. Rooftop pool offers great views. Would definitely love to stay again. Thanks!

Condo was spacious and comfortable. Only recommendation would be lighter weight bedding for a more comfortable sleeping temperature.
