5th Ave studio with outdoor patio 4 min to beach!

MoiraRating, 5 stars6 days ago
The place was exactly as listed. It felt more like a decent hotel room than a condo, which worked for my needs. WiFi was fast which was great for relaxing and remote work. No designated work station made that a bit less comfortable, but not a big deal. Hosts were responsive, cleaning staff were friendly.

A Beautiful Classic, Out of the Ordinary

KarenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved our stay! The penthouse is gorgeous and the amenities are just right. Having a kitchen was very nice - we enjoyed having a fridge, freezer, and microwave even though we ate out each day. I was concerned about street noise based on other reviews, but I think being on the top floor gave us enough distance from the street to enjoy peace and quiet. I am a fussy sleeper (the temperature has to be just right, the blanket weight and pillow fluffiness needs to be perfect) and I was very comfortable. We spent the first night in the downstairs bedroom but moved to the upstairs bedroom, which has individual fans over the beds and, in my opinion, better air conditioning. we traveled without a car and loved being close to everything - the beach (we paid for chairs at a bar for $10USD each), restaurants, cafes, etc. We've previously done playa del carmen resorts and missed the pools a bit, but got a day pass for a rooftop pool around the corner. We would definitely come back! 🩷

KeelyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We really enjoyed our stay in Playa! Our check in process was seamless, the hosts were quick to respond to any of our questions in a short time window, and all of the directions were easy to access and navigate. We loved our condo and spent many mornings on our deck or up on the rooftop taking in the views. The location is a perfect mix of chill & relaxing but not far from many bars, restaurants, and night life. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone visiting Playa looking for a quiet place that’s not far from the beach or the action. Thank you so much for being such great hosts ❤️

Private Beach Hideaway: Casa Marina grotto

KristaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Casa Marina was a beautiful and spacious home away from home. Located in safe neighborhood but also within walking distance of many coffee shops and restaurants, this was fantastic for our family with 4 small kids. Glenn’s house was exactly as advertised and Glenn himself was very responsive and personalized. He even arranged our departing taxi for us, and met us outside to make sure everything went smoothly. The inky downside for the trip was that the hot tub isn’t actually heated, however everything else made up for it! Thanks again Glenn!

Paradise In Playacar - walk to beach & 5th Avenue!

AntonioRating, 5 stars6 months ago
It was a beautiful spacious home with a great common space for large groups of people. Patrica responded super quickly when we had questions. Ruth and Raphael were super sweet and friendly, ready to help when we needed anything. Ruth cooked some amazing chilaquiles and accommodated us with the help of getting groceries. Overall an amazing experience! The beach was just a few minutes away. It is worth mentioning that the single beds within the main rooms got pretty hot, but there were fans in each area to help. The house was also very clean and well maintained.

Big Beautiful House One Street Away from the 5 AVE

AaronRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
As a frequent visitor to PDC, the house is located in my preferred area—right by the nicer beaches and a block away from all the cafes and breakfast spots on Fifth Avenue. The home itself was very large and felt very safe. The pool was also a great size and very clean. We enjoyed having sunset cocktails on the roof. The bedrooms were as described and it was nice that for such a large group, everyone had their personal space if they needed it. The walls are thick. There were plenty of beach/pool and shower towels provided, which is something that I find to be overlooked or not provided by most AirBnb hosts. Having the washer and dryer was another nice touch. Raul was very responsive with all of our questions and needs. He made us feel right at home. We will definitely chose to stay at this house again.

Huge terrace, KS Bed, Free WiFi, 5 min from Beach

KateRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Loved our stay at Lisa’s place! We were there for 6 nights and I am really glad we went here. Love the minimalist modern decor and the private oasis on the front, side, and rear of the home. A/C in the bedroom worked great on those humid nights. Leo, the orange kitty, greeted us most mornings and was incredibly sweet and affectionate. Lisa herself was very responsive to any questions we had. To note: The church around the corner has a several hours long evening service on Sundays and Mondays with an impressive sound system, yet they were always done before 10:00pm. As a vegan it was hard to find prepared food to eat in the immediate neighborhood, though a walk down 5th Avenida or taking a taxi to the downtown area was an easy fix if we didn’t feel like cooking. Neither of these are deal-breakers for me and I would stay here again.

Castillos Primero (25max) by VOPDC Playacar

PatrickRating, 5 stars1 month ago
My group loved our stay at the Castillos Primeros! The hosts were incredibly responsive and proactive - they provided all sorts of relevant local contacts, and a great list of recommendations. The location was great! Just a few minutes walk from the beach, and the main street of Playa del Carmen. We were able to walk just about everywhere we wanted during the stay, avoiding the hassle of taking large group cabs or booked transport. The home was very large, with ample space for everyone to spread out comfortably. The kitchens are a bit small/limited, but the location is great for walking to all sorts of great food options. Our stay was excellent, and overall I would absolutely recommend staying here!

Your guide to Playa del Carmen

All About Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen is having its moment in the sun – this trendy resort town on the Mayan Riviera has only grown in popularity in recent years, and it’s now one of the largest and most bustling cities in Quintana Roo state. People watch along its always-buzzing beaches and take to the water to snorkel the second largest coral reef in the world, brimming with lavender sea fans and tropical fish. On dry land, Playa del Carmen’s central location makes it a great jumping off point to explore Mayan ruins nearby like Chichen Itza.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Playa del Carmen

With a whopping 340 days of sunshine on average per year, there is never a bad time to stay at a vacation rental in Playa del Carmen. Dry season — December through March — is also typically the busiest season. The summer months tend to be hotter and wetter, with rainfall averages peaking in September, and hurricane season popping up from June through November. For those looking to join in on the round-the-clock festivities, head here during typical school holidays (over the holidays, March break, and July through August). If you want to catch the Riviera at a quieter moment, spring and autumn are generally less busy. Regardless of when you go, you’ll be greeted by mild weather, warm waters, and lots of sun (even during the rainy season).


Top things to do in Playa del Carmen

Cool off in a cenote

Cenotes – mystical-seeming pockets of still water formed from collapsed caves – are a natural phenomenon unique to the Yucatan Peninsula. The waters range from sapphire blue to emerald green, and they can be located amongst Edenic gardens or cavernous, stalactite-studded tunnels. Thought by the Mayans to hold magical properties in their waters, swimming in a cenote can be an otherworldly experience.

Admire Chichen Itza

Chichen Itza needs no introduction — this UNESCO World Heritage Site is really anything but new. The wondrously preserved Mayan temple was built sometime around 750 AD, and served as the area’s most important urban center until 1200. If you make it here in time for the spring or autumn equinox, watch in awe as the sun creates a show of a serpent — a revered Mayan symbol — slithering down the pyramids.

Dance the night away

Playa del Carmen is known equally for its nightlife as it is for its beautiful scenery, so spending a night or two on the dancefloor is practically mandatory. You can make your way from club to club along the resort strip, or opt for a slightly more laid-back but no less lively evening of live music under the stars at one of many bar terraces. Regardless of where you go, you’re pretty much guaranteed a good time.
