Group Castillo for 25, Steps to Beach and 5th Ave - Houses for Rent in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico

Excellent location, right on 5th Avenue! Within steps we had access to restaurants, bars, shopping, food stands, local vendors, and convenience stores. Within steps we also had access to the beach, tour booths, bus stops, and a ferry terminal. Wal-mart was a short 15 minute walk.

Vanesa, thank you for the lovely review — we’re glad our house’s location on 5th Avenue made exploring restaurants, the beach, and everything nearby so easy for you. We’d love to host you again next time you’re in Playa — safe travels and thanks for choosing us.

Great place to stay in Playa del Carmen walking distance from the beach and down town.

So glad you enjoyed the location, Elizabeth — being close to the beach and downtown is one of the things we love about our house. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.

Gracias, Giovanni, por tu comentario y por elegir nuestra casa. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste de la tranquilidad; será un placer recibirte de nuevo cuando quieras.

We had a really great stay overall. The check-in process was smooth and communication with the hosts was excellent. They were quick to respond and even stopped by to help when needed. The location was perfect, close to both the beach and the main hotel area. As a few other guests mentioned, some parts of the apartment are a little worn down, and the standards are more in line with what you’d expect in Mexico rather than the U.S. We paid our deposit and were a little nervous because of those worn areas and a few things that weren’t functioning properly, wondering if it might cause a problem. Ultimately, we got the deposit back without any hassle, and everything worked out great. Overall, we had a really fun time, everything functioned as it should, and the hosts were wonderful to work with. We’d happily stay again.

our family loved the stay! super close to everything! Danny and Kimberly were super attentive and very helpful! i will highly recommend their place to all my family and friends to stay.

Thank you, Malyna! We’re so glad you and your family enjoyed our house and its location, and we really appreciate your recommendation. We’d love to host you all again whenever you’re back in Playa.

Gracias por resaltar lo espacioso y cómodo de nuestra casa, Aned Alejandra. Fue un gusto atenderte a ti y a tu grupo de 16 personas. Esperamos recibirlos de nuevo cuando gusten.

The Castle 2 It's amazing every perfect space the pool the host's always attentive treatment everything we needed was a fantastic experience and we hope to return very recommended soon the beach close to the shops very close to impeccable attention

El castillo 2 Está increíble cada espacio perfecto la alberca el trato del anfitrión siempre atentos todo lo que necesitábamos nos proporcionaban fue una experiencia fantástica y esperamos regresar pronto muy recomendable la playa cerca los comercios igual muy cerca la atención impecable

Nos alegra muchísimo que tú y tus acompañantes hayan disfrutado tanto de su estancia en nuestra casa, Norma Ofelia. Fue un placer atenderlos y asegurarnos de que tuvieran todo lo necesario. Esperamos con ansias su próxima visita para brindarles otra experiencia fantástica en Playa del Carmen.

Great place to stay and close to everything. There’s a taxi stand across the street which made getting around really easy. The mall is right next door and plenty for places to eat and drink that are walkable. The hosts were great to accommodate to all our needs. I would recommend anyone to stay there.

Thank you, Nishan! We're delighted you and your group enjoyed our house and found the location convenient. It was a pleasure accommodating all of you. Come back any time!

¡Gracias por tu amable comentario, Omar! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste tu estancia en nuestro hogar en Playa del Carmen. Siempre estamos trabajando para mejorar y esperamos recibirte nuevamente en el futuro. ¡Hasta la próxima!

Overall great experience. If possible, I’d give 4.5 stars. The house is very much as described. It’s a bit dated and needs work in some areas, which we were expecting. It’s spacious though and gives room for your group to have privacy. Everything worked as expected. Absolutely perfect location as well, which is what was most important to us. One note is that this is a shared property and you won’t know your neighbors’ manners until you arrive. The large family next door loudly took over the pool from very early AM each day. There’s a very narrow walkway to the back door when you’re returning home and it was often covered in the neighbors’ kids pool toys or shoes resulting in a precarious walk after returning late at night. Other than that, the stay could have been improved by allowing an earlier check in, having a few extra towels on hand (since those provided aren’t very absorbent), and cleaning up the rooftop pool area.

Daniel and Kimberly’s place was great for our group of ten. The hosts were easy to communicate with and addressed any questions and requests quickly and kindly. The house was clean and is in a great location. Would recommend and stay again.

We would definitely stay here again - the location is centralized, near by walks to everything! Plenty of room for a big family and very comfortable.

Only problem was the parking spaces, and at a point ignoring calls

Thank you Ricardo for your review. If you are looking for parking spaces, we have it clearly described in this listing that there is 1 spot available and there are paid spots just 30 meters away. I'm sorry you felt there was an issue, but by reading listings thoroughly you will avoid future problems.

READ BEFORE YOU RENT: This Airbnb can host a lot of people, but it doesn’t have parking for more than 2 cars. Which is almost impossible to accommodate the 25+ it claims to be able to. Host charged us an additional $1.5k deposit fee even though Airbnb has home coverage. One night, they gave the parking spot in front of the house we were renting to the tenants they had on the other twin property next door, prioritizing a family of 7 people vs my group of 16 that had rented 3 units instead of their one. The toilets would flush unreliably. The downstairs common bathroom smelled horribly. The chairs in the kitchen had broken bottoms. There was only one set of keys for a group of 16 people. I asked for a duplicate set twice (ignored). NOT HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE. If you are anywhere higher than the first floor you’ll have to clime a ridiculous amount of stairs to get to your room. Overall, dissatisfied with this stay. It has many rooms and my group fit well. But not coming back.

My family spent 6 very pleasant days in building # 2. The apartment is very spacious and has air conditioning.  very central to shops and restaurants.  5 minutes from the apartment there are very cheap homemade restaurants and good food.

Daniel and Kimberly were fantastic hosts! They replied super fast with any questions we had, and connected us with great contacts for planning taxis and excursions. We had plumbing knocked out from a crazy storm one night and they had somebody at the house first thing in the morning to fix the issue, they were great! House is a GREAT deal for large groups—it’s nothing super fancy, but lots of bedrooms, comfy beds, lots of bathrooms and showers, and enough to get by in the kitchens. The pool and rooftop are an awesome plus. The house is a bit old as described, so there were some aesthetic things like cracked glass on a cabinet or a jiggly doorknob that fell off, but we didn’t expect perfect and it was nothing that bothered us at all and if it did I know they would come out and fix it if we asked. Perfect stay for large group, we loved it and would definitely stay again.

My whole family stayed there a couple of weeks ago! I must say that the place is close to everything and very clean. Judith was very helpful and responsive!

Excellent location and excellent place if you are traveling in large groups, the only thing I don't love is that the place is not very private since it has windows without curtains and the guests of the castle on one side can see towards your stay, they also give you a safe type payout that is not specified in the details when you make the reservation. Otherwise it is perfect in cleaning, parking, security, etc.

Excelente ubicación y excelente lugar si viajas en grupos grandes, lo único que no me encanto es que el lugar no esta muy privado ya que tiene ventanales sin cortinas y los huéspedes del castillo de un lado pueden ver hacia tu estancia, también te hacen un cobro tipo seguro que no esta especificado en los detalles cuando haces la reservación. De lo demás esta perfecto en limpieza, estacionamiento, seguridad, etc.

It was a pleasure to stay at the Villa, we were a very large group and we felt very comfortable, the house is wonderful! We would definitely repeat!

Ha sido un gustazo poder quedarnos en la Villa, eramos un grupo muy grande y nos hemos sentido muy a gusto, la casa es una maravilla! Repetiríamos sin duda!

Excellent place for large groups, it has an unbeatable location, two minutes from the beach and 5th avenue. Kim and Dani were very attentive during our stay resolving any needs we had

Excelente lugar para grupos grandes, tiene una ubicación inmejorable, a dos minutos de la playa y de la quinta avenida. Kim y Dani fueron muy atentos durante nuestra estancia resolviendo cualquier necesidad que teníamos

Beautiful clean  house ! we enjoyed walking to the beach , a lot of great restaurants near by and stores! we can't wait to go back!

Loved the house great location. My family and I would stay here again.

excellent place for large groups. Everything is very clean. It's worth it. Excellent location half a block from the fifth. We would see it again

exelente lugar para grupos grandes vale la pena todo muy limpio vale la pena exelente ubicacion  a media cuadra de la quinta volveríamos a vistarlo

everything is very good, a very nice place,the pool is excellent, close to shopping malls and 5th avenue

todo muy bien, un lugar muy bonito,la alberca exelente, cerca de centros comerciales y la 5ta avenida

Great location, easy access to beaches, shops, restaurants and bars. Hosts were very responsive and gave great advise.

Thank you so much for your 5star review Elizabeth!! So glad you enjoyed your time in Los Castillos and its location and our communication. Always happy to hear you had a great time. Thank you so much! And book again soon i hope for the 10% discount ;)

Such a great space for a big group of people. Not only that, but the location is great as well. Literally walking distance from everything!

great place enough room for my family, if the pool we share with next building, I believe we can used a little bit late not closing at 8pm, we are on vacations, we try to have fun, but really good place and everything is close!!

Attention was perfect. Location was perfect. I went with a big group and really enjoyed it!

Overall: Great location, but feels relatively expensive for the quality of the space. Pros: Excellent location, plenty of light, clean The services recommended for cooking / tours all worked out fine Personalized tour support was good and flexible Rooms came with bath and beach towels Communication was generally good Cons: The house feels quite “tired” with fixtures falling apart, ceiling damage, older furniture, etc. especially for this price in Mexico. One guest called it “the best 2003 had to offer” Check-in was late afternoon (5pm) and the cleaning crew was still working when we arrived at 5pm The communication felt very automated… multi-paragraph responses came within 3-5 seconds of asking a question so it didn’t feel very personalized The catering company was quite expensive (for Mexico) and became really upset when demanding a tip. Also was not flexible when guests had to cancel due to COVID.

Excellent location , close to the 5th Ave, a spacious house with several spacious rooms to rest, security 24 hrs, pool and everything very well to rest and go out to eat and others without the need to order a taxi….

Excelente ubicación , pegada a la 5ta ave, una casa amplia con varios cuartos amplios para descansar, seguridad las 24 hrs, alberca y todo muy bien para descansar y salir a comer y demas sin necesidad de ordenar taxi….

Over all the house was in good shape except the middle floor kitchen cabinets were broken. Post occupancy response from her helper was much delayed. Location very good if you want to be close to beach and urban area. More attention needed to keep house in good shape. Wifi doesn't reach in to rooms. The problem was not solved despite multiple requests. However, do not hire Kim's recommended travel agent Marie who rents condos in Tulum area too. Marie is totally unprofessional. She charges in advance and then provides very poor service. Throughout our 4 day trip, I had to keep coordinating between her and her vendors/agents like her personal assistant. All vehicles she sent were dirty, water leaking from air-conditioning units on to the seats with drivers without any information on location and directions!! Do not hire Marie in any circumstances. Kim was responsive, however better post occupancy response would have made our stay a more comfortable.

Lovely stay. This is a whole building in a great location in Playa. Each floor could be an independent apartment with three floors, kitchen and living/dining room. I was able to fit all my friends comfortably for a few days after attending a festival. The place is huge and has a nice rooftop. We felt very safe. Most people were working remotely. The internet was good in most of the rooms. In some cases we were working of the living rooms. After the stay, one of my friends left a jacket and Danny helped to find and return it to the owner. Unusually nice gesture.

Thank you Pawel! yes, Our team is really a family and so i trust everyone that works with us. Danny does go out of his way to help guests all the time, so the recognition is not lost on me. Thank you. Glad you found the Castillos a good fit for your large group and that you liked the location.  We would love to have you back again anytime!
