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.

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.

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.
