Beautiful home away from home
We took our family to Casa Blanca over Christmas and it was such a wonderful experience. The home was perfect for our family. Ivonne helped us with transport, reservations and helping our family secure a piñata for a Mexican Christmas. Our home was cleaned daily and looked perfect when we returned from playing at the beach. We would definitely book Casa Blanca again!!!

You won't regret staying here!!
This property is everything it says it is. The location couldn't be better. It's so close to the beach yet not right on the sand. We had a wide range of ages and everyone loved it. We especially enjoyed the option of having someone cook for us---we selected the meals we preferred and were never disappointed. The property was well-maintained and someone cleaned daily. Don't hesitate to book this property!!!

Casa on beach
Had a wonderful stay at casa Blanca. House was clean, plenty of space with separate bathrooms for each bedroom. Location to beach is phenomenal- it’s not directly on beach but a 30 yard walk to the beach. It was great being able to go from the house to beach throughout the day and not have it be a project to do so. Pool in the yard is also a big bonus. It’s almost better to be just off the beach as there is.more privacy and quiet (beach is public). 10 minute walk to Playacar outdoor mall and 15 -20 minute walk to the nicer part of fifth avenue playa delCarmen. Ivonne was fabulous at organizing and helping get excursions set up, transportation etc. she went above and beyond helping us with a car rental issue. Ninga is super nice and super quiet - many times she was cleaning the house and I had no idea she was there. The house was immaculate and well kept. We had breakfast made in house by las marias everyday which was well worth it - ver fair price and phenomenal food. Have stayed at many vacation vrbos and this was one of the best

Amazing stay
My group had an amazing stay at casa blanca. The house manager and staff was very understanding of our rowdy group and the location could not have been better . The house was situated in a very safe , patrolled neighborhood right on the beach and walking distance to everything you could need. They made our stay in Playa del Carmen unforgettable.

The picture was a little deceiving but great stay!
The profile picture looked like the property was more isolated when it was actually on a main street with a lot of foot traffic going by to the beach. The staff was great and the house is really nice and clean. Always felt very safe in this gated community with constant security patrolling the neighborhood. A short walk to 5th avenue with all ths bars, restaurants, and shopping.

Wonderful week!
Casa Blanca is a lovely home; my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our week! While we did have a few unexpected hiccups (some plumbing issues and spotty internet/TV), Ivonne, Mirna, and Filis were incredibly responsive to our needs, and did everything they could to mitigate the issues. The three of them are top-notch, and receive A+'s across the board, and so does Teresa, our chef for the first couple of nights. I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone thinking of renting it!

Nice Villa, well worth it
The house is great, spacious and well equipped. Love the location, the town is only a 10 minute walk and the private beach is a few steps from the house. Nice size pool for kids and adults. The house is located in a gated community, so there aren’t random people walking thru or random traffic, which is nice. Great staff, they cleaned every day. We splurged and had a meal prepared for dinner the night we arrived, and then breakfast the next morning. Both were excellent and very convenient. Concierge was very helpful with planing our day trips or just even where to go eat in town. And in general, the communication was very effective throughout. House is hurricane proof for sure, we felt completely safe and comfortable during Hurricane Beryl! Overall, this is a great place to stay in Playa del Carmen.

Loved the house and the location of this property. Communication with the property owner was great and the house manager, Ivonne, was there to greet us despite our delayed arrival. This house is easy walking distance to downtown as well as to taxis if you want to go anywhere. Highly recommend this property!

Large family vacation
Lovely, serene, and clean. Feel at home when away from home, with staff to meet all your needs. From our 86-year-old family member, to our four month old baby, and kids and adults in between, every single person had a great time. There are not many properties that can boast this level of service and comfort, with fun and happiness at your fingertips.

Amazing weekend stay!
We stayed at Casa Blanca for a guys trip / bachelor party and had an amazing time! The house is located in Playacar fase 1 and is literally 50 feet from the beach! The neighborhood is quiet and is guarded and patrolled on a regular basis so it's very safe. Its also in close proximity to quinta avenita (10 minute walk) for restaurants and bars. Yvonne was amazing! She helped line up transfers, dinner reservations, and suggested several activities that we ended up doing. We stayed Wed-Sun and had an absolute blast! 10/10 would stay here again!

We stayed at this property from January 24 - Feb 10, 2024. The thought and consideration for guests in this home was amazing, we have stayed in many VRBO units and this was by far the best. The house staff were amazing, always there to answer questions and assist where needed, the host was very responsive and fun, she gave us amazing insights about the area. The house seemed to have everything we needed and beyond, the location was perfect, close to the beach and also close to 5th avenue, but very quiet at night, loved loved, loved this property and feeling grateful to have stayed here.
