About this property

Wow! Location! Luxury, Across Beach, Pool, Gated, Tropical. Close to action.

Right across the beach in a quiet low-density complex in the exclusive gated subdivision of Playacar I not to be confused with Playacar II which is located further away from the beach. We are 5 minutes away from shops and restaurants. This unit has been completely remodeled yet retains the character of the Region, the tropical location yet adding all the modern comforts and conveniences. Right across from the unit, the beach is just 50 steps away. Large terrace at the back overlooking the pool and BBQ area. Wrap around terrace on the Caribbean side and Mayan ruins park side. On the ground floor with no other unit overlooking your space, it offers total privacy, a perfect location and a luxurious space.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker.

Perfectly located!

This property is as advertised with everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. It is clean and exceptionally well located. Two minutes and you are in the Playacar beach; 5 minutes to all of downtown. Quiet at night, but steps to everything! We only had a few questions, but responses from Marie we’re fast and helpful. Highly recommend!

Perfect Location

Just home from 10 perfect days at Casa Sonrisas! Our family of 4, 2 adults and 2 teens visited over New Years. We have stayed in Playa del Carmen and Playacar multiple times but this location was perfect. Steps to a beautiful white sand beach and a couple short blocks from all the restaurants and night life you could want. Walking distance to large grocery stores too. Condo was larger than I expected. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms nicely renovated and pool area was peaceful. Our favorite feature was the large wrap around deck where we spent most of our home time. Owners were easily accessible by email and responded quickly when needed. Thank you Caren and Marie for a wonderful vacation! Hope to see you again.

Now you can check 'Perfect Playacar Rental' off your list...

Where to begin!? Marie was super helpful with pre-arrival info and was quick to allow us to drop off groceries and bags as soon as the previous renters were out. The house was spotless when we arrived. Tons of extra towels and sheets, beach towels. Kitchen has everything you need, including a bunch of spices, oil, and so on. Beds were super comfortable, AC was great for the occasional breeze-free day. Living space was everything you need: big TV, fast internet, well lit, comfortable couch, movies and books. Both bedrooms were special in their own ways. One opening onto a massive porch next to the pool with a full outdoor living room feel. The other opening onto the other massive porch overlooking the Mayan ruins and park with small views and sounds of the sea. We were with three kids under 5 and it was perfect. Marie dropped off a pack and play which we set up in the pool bedroom bathroom so the baby could nap while everyone else had fun. The two older kids each took a bed in the park facing room. Other notable perks: Three minute walk to the public access point to the beach, five minute walk to the start of 5th avenue shopping and dining. Perfectly maintained pool with both sun and shade, plenty of lounge chairs, a shallow end for kids. Four nice beach chairs and a really nice umbrella. Full-sized washer and dryer that both work great. Tons of parking if you have a car (which you really don't need unless your kids make you take them to the crocodile zoo twice in 10 days). Security guard booth just down the road with the same friendly faces every day, and frequent walk and drive bys of the area after dark. What a place! We'll be back!! Thanks Marie!

Great rental close to the beach

Spent a few nights here with our two young children and it was great. Short walk to both the beach and to restaurants, shops, etc. Would definitely stay there again the next time we visit Playa del Carmen.

Loved the location and condo

Marie is very kind and helpful and answered all of our questions. The condo was in an amazing location close to the beach ( my girls counted 100 large steps😉) and the little extras (pool toys and beach chairs) were a great treat. We walked everywhere and enjoyed our holiday. We will definitely recommend this condo to our friends. I gave it a 4 star rating as there, like all places, is always a few things that could be changed, such as the bed frame in the pool bedroom, it creaks every time you roll over and takes time to get use to it. But over all we enjoyed our 16 day stay.

Great experience. Loved it.

Pool is fantastic. Beach was good. Lots of seaweed on this trip. But, we would end up at the pool everyday. Great trip.

Five Star Rating!

Queridas Marie Y Caren - Muchas Gracias! We had a wonderful time at your place. It was the perfect location to be, in Playacar. We loved being so close to everything. Your tasteful fixtures, finishes, spaces, and systems make it incredibly easy to enjoy the setting and surroundings. We could not find good food, but we prepared a fantastic meal for ourselves and some guests. We entertained close friends on several occasions and quickly met others for an excursion to Cozumel. Perfecto! I'm sorry I broke one of the fine shot glasses. Thank you for the onsite discussion regarding the kitchen electricity. It is confusing. Clarity in the welcome packet about how to make it easier to have a hot shower would be great! Best VRBO ever! We are looking forward to returning! Until next time, Take Care! Pete and Gloria

Fantastic Mexican getaway.

We loved our time at this property. Everything was exactly as stated. Here are some of our highlights. - Rooms have good air-conditioning and comfortable beds. - Very authentic traditional Mexican feel - We never turned the tv on, so can't say - Internet worked great -Location, location, location. You are just a minute from the famous 5th avenue. The Avenue is packed with great restaurants, shops, performers, etc. The restaurants are absolutely great and not tourist traps. However, the minute you walk off the Avenue and into Playacar, you are transported to a quiet oasis of tranquility. - the balconies and patio are great. My morning ritual was to sit on the balcony (ground level), read my paper, and watch the local cereques (cute rodent creatures) romp around. - The other room looks out over the Mayan ruins... awesome! - The beach can't be seen from the condo, but once you walk out the door, you can see it and walk there in 30 seconds. It is just 50 steps away. - Great kitchen and laundry -We rented a car and parking was very easy. We had originally thought we would stay somewhere more remote, but with my 20 years old son, we were happy he had so much to do at night. Favorite restaurants: Fisheria, Lima, Hija de la Tostada, and we did like Micaelas for Mexican. These are all on 5th avenue. -Best tacos... El Fogon on 30th. Don't miss it. Cozumel diving was amazing and the cenotes were great too. Cenotes: We liked Eden and Dos Ojos Only negative was the water pressure could be stronger in the shower. We highly recommend this place for your vacation. You will feel like you live in Mexico.

Beautiful - quiet - homey - lovely!!!

We had a wonderful stay at Caren’s place. A beautiful charming condo, so comfortable, lots of room, we felt right at home as soon as we walked in!! We really appreciated all the porch space. Lovely. The condo was very clean and tidy, kitchen well equipped! The location is fantastic…minutes to the beach and minutes to 5th. The area is so quiet at night, you would never know you at so close to 5th Ave. We will be back!!

Better than we imagined

Just back from a wonderful vacation. This place exceeded our expectations. The pictures don't do it justice. Excellent location, close to everything you need. Caren was most helpful and responsive to our questions and needs. If/when we return to Playa we will be checking availability here! Thanks!
