Quiet Paradise
Overall the listing is spot on, quiet gated community. Small plunge pool that was nice to sun tan by and dip into to cool off. Victor is very responsive and helpful with all our requests. Tons of space to lounge, everything you need to live for however long you want to stay. Few blocks from the beach and the famous 5th Ave. Tons of restaurants, stores and amenities close by. Highly recommend a stay here.

Wonderful relaxing place
Exactly as described-charming penthouse! Nice to have the soaker pool to cool off in. Also appreciate the beach umbrella and chairs. Enjoyed just relaxing under the pergola. Lovely neighborhood. Close to everything: beach entrance at the end of the boulevard. We preferred grocery shopping at the store on 30th which is closer and less expensive than the new
one on 10th. Lots of great authentic restaurants close by on 30th. Our favourite was Birria! We had one little issue with the A/C unit that Victor was prompt to reply and take care of. We enjoyed our stay.
Loved our 4 night stay here! Victor, the host, was very accommodating and let us check in a bit early and out a bit late. We really appreciated not having to carry our luggage around due to our odd flight times!
The rooftop private pool was a perfect oasis to just relax. Inside is a bit outdated, but it had everything we needed and was fantastic rental. Would stay there again.

beautiful patio
We had the pleasure of renting this unit from Victor for two weeks while staying in Playa Del Carmen.
Our stay at this unit was both comfortable and safe. Victor was a generous host, very reliable and prompt to meet our needs. The unit offered all of the basics to live while in Playa plus a lot of extras that made our stay even more pleasurable.
Even though this unit is not new and modern, it checked alot of our boxes when it came to size, cleanliness and location. The outdoor space is very large and private allowing us to spend some time in our surroundings and enjoy the warm evenings at home.
We will definitely consider renting from Victor again next year.

Great Location
Condo in a Gated Neighborhood. The Condo is big with a bedroom and a kitchen with a big hallway in the middle, with chairs and umbrellas. It has all amenities and 5th street is about 2 blocks away. We used the stove and microwave to make breakfast. Used the pool after a hot walk back. Stay on Calle 38 and there is great ambiance restaurants with a jungle feel and good food and beer. Supermarket Chedraui is around the corner and very clean. They have everything you need, plus they cook food to eat there or take home. We ate the shrimp ceviche, shrimp tostadas and guacamole. We also got a ribeye and they cook it for you there with vegetables or fries. Victor was a great host.

Perfect getaway
This was our first visit to the region without staying at an all-inclusive resort, but it won’t be our last! Victor was a gracious and attentive host. The property was exactly as described and perfect for our needs. We were able to easily and safely walk anywhere in Playa that we wanted to go. The small private pool was especially nice for relaxing and cooling off on a hot summer day. We enjoyed our stay very much.

For the value you could not ask for a better location! The ease of check in/out was very much appreciated and the host was easy to communicate with. 15min walk to the beach convenience stores and restaurants right around the corner, gated community with friendly guards and great air conditioning.
Thought the pictures of this property are dated, this property still satisfied our needs.

My stay
Well what can I say, Victor was a great host. Check in was a Breese. You are centrally located. We had some issues with water, Victor remadeied the problem, which took a couple of days. During this time Victor offered the use of his shower. We lost air conditioning one day and it was fixed the same day. It was nice to have the soaker pool, which was maintained well. To sum it up it was an enjoyable stay. Thanks Victor!!

6 Night stay
The area is extremely safe (even according to my persnickity wife) and Victor was very responsive with any requests via VRBO. The location was a 15 minute walk each morning to the beach, so we grabbed a coffee at the Oxxo (one block away, opens at 6) and strolled down to catch the sunrise and snorkel. Street food (must try), grocery store, laundry, and restaurants all within two blocks. The plunge pool outside the bedroom was a life saver in the Mexican heat! I would recommend Victor's hospitality. Only note, if it's your first trip to Mexico, cover the shower drain with the provided cover as the toilet and shower systems are connected in most places. Happy journeys!

did not stay
I arrived and departed same day to a different property. Pool not functioning, no hot water. Victor sent an email pretending that i stayed when he knew I did not. He had a book of rules which I was sort of okay with but he did not live up to his end of the bargain. If a property is not up to par you should notify guest before they arrive. I ended up spending an additional 8,156.64 pesos for another place to stay.
