Beautiful villa steps from a white-sand beach & 10 min walk to pedestrian thoroughfare La Quinta (5th Ave) as well restaurants & shops. We love its cul-de-sac location (no street traffic) and private PlayaCar address, as well as its 4 spacious bedrooms/baths, large and well appointed kitchen, beautiful Mexican artwork, fantastic pool surrounded by lounge chairs, and the breezy rooftop w/ ocean views! The villa is perfect for couples, families, and groups/friends. The space Villa La Golondrina is a beautifully designed Mexican beach villa pairing traditional elements with modern architectural touches. From the sun baked Saltillo floors and glossy Mexican tiles to the colorful kitchen and garden inspired bathrooms, this gracious four-bedroom villa was lovingly created by the owner and her architect, both of whom appreciate the classical design of the Mexican hacienda. As with the celebrated old Yucatecan fincas (ranches), the villa's four sets of French doors open to a lush, private garden and full-size swimming pool, shaded by tropical fauna and tall palms, creating a breezy indoor/outdoor experience. Rooms also have high ceilings, beautiful brickwork, and original Mexican art. A popular gathering spot at Villa La Golondrina is the rooftop terrace, reached by the interior or exterior staircase, where guests may enjoy sunbathing by day or cocktails—with ocean views—by evening. The owner of Villa La Golondrina has a passion for Mexico and everything Mexican. The hope of the owner is to share with guests the traditional 'ambiente' of this beautiful country, as well as the glories of the magnificent Caribbean. Note that all bedrooms have great AC but there is no central AC (common in Playa del Carmen). Guest access The house, garden, rooftop, grill, and pool are all yours to enjoy! There are also beach chairs and towels to take down to the water. We don't typically provide snorkels and beach toys, but sometimes other guests leave some behind. Some of our guests rent cars, but most get around on foot or by taxi. Some also rent bikes from a nearby bike shop which can deliver bicycles to the property's front door. Other things to note A note about air conditioning: As is the case in most of the rental houses in Playa, the four bedrooms have remote controlled AC units. Common spaces have fans and French doors that allow for the lovely Caribbean breezes. LATE JULY AND AUGUST RENTERS, in particular, should keep our AC setup in mind as this is a tropical region and summers are HOT. We discount our summer rates accordingly, but if you don't like the heat, late July and August are not the best times for you to visit the otherwise lovely Mayan Riviera. Housekeeping: Our housekeeper comes twice during a weekly stay. Should you like her more often, we can arrange that for an additional 700 pesos (about $35) a cleaning. A note about beds. As noted, we have three kings and one queen bed that comfortably fits 8 guests. For guests 9 and 10: We have a day bed that is the size of a twin and can be setup as a bed with an egg crate, bedding and pillows for one guest. The final bedding option, for a 10th guest, is an air mattress complete with bedding. While we have made this work for adults, these options are best for children and teens. We can also provide two Pack n' Plays, a high chair, and a stroller. We also often have a few simple beach toys but can't guarantee them as guests often leave them on the beach. Finally, please be aware that, due to climate change and fluctuating ocean currents, the Riviera Maya may experience the presence of naturally occurring seaweed during the hotter months of the year. Our neighborhood association has beach cleaners daily, and we are happy to send upcoming renters beach photos in the weeks before their trip.

4BR villa in Playa del Carmen

Villa 50 steps from the beach! (4 bed/4 bath) - Houses for Rent in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico

We had a wonderful stay with our family of seven adults. The house is beautiful and charming with many lovely details. The proximity to the beach was fabulous, as was the patio and pool. Bruno assisted us in countless ways -both in advance of our trip and while we were there. He helped arrange transportation and always communicated very promptly. We needed assistance in the house a couple times and he responded immediately!  We would happily stay here again.

This house was perfect for our group of 8. We loved the pool, the decor, and the easy walkability to the beach & downtown. We would absolutely stay here again.

The house is as described with lovely traditional Mexican decor. We loved the large pool and shady patio. The hedge and other trees keep the pool private though it is in the front yard. The house is a very short walk to the beach. The kitchen included good pots and pans, many dishes and cooking equipment. There is no dishwasher. Bruno met us at checkin to go over details, keys, etc. He also got us groceries twice and made recommendations for a tour guide, bike rental, and chef. He also arranged for our transportation from and to the airport. He was very helpful! As others have noted, it is a 10-15 minute walk to get out of the Playacar neighborhood to find stores and restaurants. We discovered we could get a nice meal at the Sunset Fisherman hotel which is in Playacar, just a short walk from the house. You can also request a taxi to come to the house to pick you up. This is a great place for a laid back vacation with family or friends.

Beautiful home. The house manager Bruno was great, arranged transportation and anything we needed. The private chef Andre made the most amazing paella and meal for us! The showers were hot and the pool was refreshing!

Thank you so much, Haley, for the wonderful review. It's especially gratifying to know that you and your group had a wonderful experience at the villa and in the Yucatan. We look forward to your return in the future. Stirling and Gloria

The house is a very authentic summer home and a great way to experience the local vibe. It’s extremely close to the beach, literally a one-minute walk. However, because the house is traditional and doesn’t have standard windows, noise carries in very easily. We also had an issue with noisy neighbors at night, as the house is surrounded by hotels and other Airbnb properties. I’d like to highlight the manager, who was very helpful, proactive, and knowledgeable. Thank you for hosting us.

Thank you so much for your review, Sairan. We are thrilled to hear working with Bruno was a highlight. We are lucky to have him! I'm also so sorry to hear you had trouble with external noise. Given our location on a quiet cul-de-sac, I am surprised to hear you had this problem, and hope you spoke to Bruno about it directly. If I may give further context, PlayaCar—the neighborhood that the villa is located in—is a residential community with many year-round and snow bird residents. Travelers who stay there are mostly families and groups of friends looking for a laid-back and relaxing vacation. There are noise restrictions with "quiet hours" (no loud or outdoor music) starting at 9 PM. Guests are encouraged to report any rule breaking to the neighborhood's security team, and in my experience they quickly and respectfully address the issue. You mention hotels, but there aren't any hotels located within PlayaCar. The closest is PlayaCar Palace, located at the gated community's entrance, which is a half mile, or one km, away. Thank you again for the opportunity to address your concerns, and provide more context. My best to you, Stirling

This was a beautiful and perfect home for the 8 of us adult family members- each with a spacious bedroom and own ensuite bathroom. A very well supplied and large kitchen to make our own meals. We loved hanging around the pool or taking the short walk to the ocean. Bruno as manager was always readily available to answer any inquiries - before and during our stay. One has to take a 15 min walk to the central taxi pickup but they did drive back to the front door on return. We did eventually get to know our way around and walk to restaurants to save the 150 pesos each way (don’t pay the $200 initially stated). We enjoyed scuba for a day and a cenote for half a day but mostly happy to soak up the sun around the pool. Altogether a wonderful retreat.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Gayle! You were also such wonderful, gracious, and kind guests. Happy travels!

Casa Golondrinas was the perfect place for our holiday. Peaceful, safe, and close to the beach, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We would absolutely stay here again.

What an amazing house! There was a bed/bath for each of us four couples, well stocked fun kitchen, luxurious pool. All in a very secure, private neighborhood only a few steps from the beach and a short 10 minute walk to lively La Quinta Avenida. (The pictures don't show a dining table for 8 and upgraded TVs.) What made it exceptional was Bruno, who was responsive to every question and arranged so much for us: groceries as we arrived; two women to prepare a taco buffet for us; drivers from the airport and for a day trip; and Roger for a fantastic tour of Chichen Itza and a cenote. Highly recommended...

A comfortable stay with a beautiful view!

We had an absolutely AMAZING stay! This was the perfect spot for a family vacation — we had 6 adults and one baby, and the house fit us all so comfortably. It was quiet, peaceful, and just steps from the beach. Honestly, it couldn’t have been better. Bruno, the property manager, went above and beyond for us — helping arrange airport transportation, grocery delivery, and making sure we had everything we needed. He made the whole trip so smooth and easy. The house itself is gorgeous. The kitchen was a dream to cook in, the bedrooms were spacious and thoughtfully laid out to give everyone privacy, and the common spaces were perfect for hanging out together. We were able to walk to most places, but getting in and out of the development can be a bit of a hike, so taxis definitely came in handy. This was one of our best Airbnb experiences ever. 100/10 — we will definitely be back! Couldn’t recommend this place more highly.

We had a fabulous stay at the Villa. It is a great place for a family vacation The location can’t be beat, just steps from the beach (even though the kids were happy to play in the pool). But really set this place apart was the attention and help of the property manager, Bruno. He helped us plan some in-house meal service (so delicious), excursions in the area and was there to answer any questions we had.

Words cannot describe how amazing this home is. Truly a wonderful and unique home that is steps away from the beach. My entire family loved the space and was deeply saddened we couldn’t stay longer! Secured area as it is located within a gated community. Short walk to get to the main parts of Playa del Carmen, but honestly we rarely wanted to leave the house or the amazing beach. Space is huge and had our group of 9 feeling like we were in luxurious but welcoming home. Bruno, the property manager, was really responsive and helped us out a lot with coordinating transportation. Highly recommend!!

The Villa, the private pool, the location to town and beach couldn’t ask for more!  You will not be disappointed!!!

Thank you so much, Jean! You all were wonderful guests!

Location is fantastic to the beach and very uniquely for the area, the home is very private. Use of the outdoor patio and pool was very comfortable with the family. Many other beautiful homes in the area have zero privacy. Home was comfortable and well appointed. We put the beach chairs, umbrella, boogie board and sand toys to good use and left a few more toys for the next guest too! We elected to add extra cleaning with Lucia who was fantastic and so hard working for us. We had chef services through the house recommendation and Chefs RivieraMaya worked hard to accommodate our schedule through the holidays. We had our lead Chef Andre who was fantastic but his team was equally wonderful. We had a variety of phenomenal meals rivaling any restaurants in our home area of San Francisco Bay Area and wonderful "home" or grandma's cooking feel as well. The house manager Bruno was second to none. Really pulled all the details together for us and was so very responsive. Wonderful home.

Thank you so much, Summer! We are thrilled you and your family had a great time!

Beautiful home and location on the beach. Very comfortable and secure.  Highly recommended!

Thank you so much Luke, it was wonderful having you and your family!

The house was perfect for our family. Well maintained, close to the beach (30 second walk), and close to town. A great family getaway in a quaint and quiet neighborhood.

So thrilled you enjoyed yourself. Thank you so much for staying at Villa La Golondrina!

We had such a wonderful family vacation at Stirling's villa!  The house is absolutely beautiful and the pool was so fun for the kids.  Bruno, the house manager, was really great too - super responsive, helped us book a fun excursion, and arranged ladies to cook us dinner every night which was so, so delicious.  We also did a private chef the last night with a tequila tasting and it was the best way to end such a fun vacation.  I would definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much Nicole. We are so thrilled you had a wonderful time!

We stayed for a week during Spring Break. The house was an amazing home base for our family with 2 sets of grandparents! The house is just a few hundred yards from a beautiful beach. We spent the days bouncing between the beach and pool. This pool is one of the larger pools that we saw so if the pool or outdoor lounge space is a priority. This is the best place! The staff (Tara and company!) were super responsive. She is very hands on. Arranging pre arrival groceries. and, always responsive by phone. An amazing experience, we hope to visit again soon!

A truly beautiful and peaceful home with a colourful authentic decor. Very secure and such a quick walk to a wonderful beach! We are a family of 9 and everyone loved the house. The pool was fantastic for the kids and it was a short walk to some great restaurants. If you get a chance to hire Arturo and Mariana for a chef service, do it, they are fantastic! Tara was a godsend and helped with everything we needed. We would love to come back!

This was our second time staying in this Airbnb with family & we loved every minute of it! The hosts are so lovely and accommodating. Highly recommend!

As advertised, it is a completely unique house that helps you feel abroad and culturally aware while still being a home

The team at La Golondrina took great care of us and were very attentive to all our family needs. They went out of their way to offer up recommendations on local attractions, restaurants, and answer general questions fast. The place is located half a block from the beach so location is perfect for anyone looking to jump into the water or grab a quick ride/walk downtown. Big house with spacious rooms give everyone the comfort they need. The house feel is very traditional, beautifully decorated with tile and mosaic along with high brick ceilings so folks looking for a comfortable yet more authentic experience will be well served here. A big thank you to Tara who is a property manager and vacation consultant extraordinaire!

excellent location, amazing host, very comfortable home

The photos don’t do Stirling’s home justice! Our stay was perfect from beginning to end. Well before we arrived, Stirling connected us with her house manager Tara who took exceptionally good care of us. Tara arranged for rides, connected us with a private chef, arranged for the house to be stocked with our requested groceries and was quick to respond whenever we had a question. Everything was fantastic. The beach is a half block away but we ended up spending most of our time in the villa’s beautiful yard and pool. We felt safe thanks to the 24-hour security at Playacar and town was a quick (but hot) walk away. Highly recommend!

Home is way nicer than the pictures let on. Very close to the beach with a beautiful private area! (No vendors walking the beach hassling you either!) The neighborhood is a bit large so if you plan to walk places advise that you will have to walk about 8 minutes out of the neighborhood each time. Then boom, everything is in 2-20 minutes. Tara was extremely helpful and all the guys were great that came to work on the pool etc. There is no AC in the main areas but they have a ton of fans and with the windows open it’s totally fine. We had some grocery shopping done for us which was so convenient to have things there right away. The pool stayed SO clean even with all our sunscreen. Keep the screens closed because some little critters like to find homes inside hehe. Would definitely stay again! My only complaint was the fridge would get warm sometimes when we were in and out of it but that’s kinda the name of the game in 90 degrees lol. Beach chairs were really nice as well!

We truly enjoyed our stay in this home! The four bedrooms were perfect as we have eight people (5 adults and 3 children).  And there were four bathrooms as well. The kitchen was beautiful and a delight to use. The kids really enjoyed the pool, and everyone enjoyed being so close to the beach!  We would definitely stay in Villa La Golondrina again! Thank you Stirling for making your home available - it was the highlight of our time in Playa Del Carmen.  Plus, the host (Tara) was phenomenal!!! And one thing we did that I would recommend - we hired chefs Arturo and Mariana to cook our meal the day we arrived. They did a wonderful job and it made our arrival even more special.

Such good vibes at this place!  The house was amazing, fully stocked with everything you could need.  It is such a charming place from the details to the layout and location are all amazing.  It is such a special house. We had our three young children with us and even though the walk to town was a bit of a ways away, the neighborhood is gorgeous and very friendly/safe.  The only bummer was the seaweed at the beach - we were really looking forward to the super close location to the beach and playing in the ocean but the seaweed made it not the most fun to swim in.  Regardless the house and pool are so good I still would book it anyways.  Such special memories made here!

Thank you so much for review, Elizabeth. We are so glad you had a great time! I'm sorry to hear about the seaweed's early arrival. It's typically not an issue until the summer months. Still, we are grateful our community of Playacar has a hard-working clean up crew. We hope you and your family return, you were wonderful guests!

We had a great time with the family. Villa in a quiet and secure area, access to the beach in a few steps. Tidy and embraced garden. The chef recommended by our host really spoiled us

Nous avons passé de bons moments en famille. Villa dans une zône tranquille et sécurisée, accès à la plage en quelques pas. Jardin soigné et embragé. Le chef recommandé par notre hôte nous a vraiment gâté

Stirling’s place was perfect for a family, or in our case two families, with small kids. It is situated thirty yards from the beach and is equipped with everything you’d want/need for a beach day. The house was equipped with a high chair, pack n play, kids books and beach/pool toys. The property manager, Tara, was responsive to every question we had. She arranged our airport transports, stocked our fridge and pantry, and arranged for a chefs, Arturo and Mariana, to come cook a few meals for us during our stay. The chefs were affordable and the meals were spectacular. All of these people felt like friends by the time we left. We rented bikes for the week for easy travel to downtown, which is less than a mile from the house. Playacar, where the house is located, is safe and very walkable. All of this made for an easy and relaxing stay, even with four kids, all ages 5 and under, in the house. It was a perfect week. Zero complaints. We will be back.

Thank you so much for this lovey review. We are grateful you and your family and friends stayed at Villa La G!

This house was everything I dreamed it would be - even better than the pictures. There were 8 of us, 7 adults and 1 child. It never felt crowded, many levels to be on. The rooftop, the pool, all the bedrooms - everything was spectacular. Big "shout out" to Tara, the house manager, who arranged all of our transportation to/from the airport, as well as to our excursion in Akumal. She picked up groceries for us to have at the house when we arrived and checked on us daily to make sure everything was going okay. The location of the house is great. You can easily walk to the beach in one minute and into town in about 10. EVERYONE on the trip had a great time! I would love to return to this house.

The place was very clean, well appointed with lots of room.  Communication was fantastic and the location could not be beat.  It is in a gated community with 24/7 security which added meaningfully to our peace of mind.  This stay is highly recommended.

Our stay here was fantastic. Everything was just as described and the location was perfect as a home base for our family to travel up and down the coast for the week. Communication was great, Tara was very helpful. We couldn't have asked for more and would love to stay here again if we're ever in Playa del Carmen again.

The best place to stay! I would recommend this place 100% . Very clean, walking distance to everything you need, great experience all around..

Beautiful home in a great location! We loved the pool and being so close to the beach with kiddos. Has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the house host was so attentive and helpful!

This house met and exceeded all my hopes for a fun family vacation. The layout of the home is perfect for coming together and also allows plenty of room for space when some downtime is needed. Everything you need is here! The beach is close, a beautiful swimming pool, all the things you need to cook, you can also arrange to have someone come cook for you, there is housekeeping as well. Walking to town also adds to the experience as you get to walk through a lovely neighborhood and see all the other beautiful homes and view of the beach along the way. In addition to a lovely setting, the best part of this airbnb experience was definitely Tara, the property manager extraordinaire. She helped us with many things from arranging transportation to and from the airport, to helping us find a guide to take us on a day trip. She is quick to be helpful and such a sweet person overall. The owner's of this house are lucky to have her :)

A wonderful house! Would definitely recommend:)

This was a stunning home. Lots of character. Absolutely beautiful inside and out. Tara, the property manager was wonderful. Beach is right around the corner. Great location in phase 1. Near everything!

This house was even better in person compared to the pictures. The service and assistance was excellent as Tara was so helpful and attentive to our needs. She was present when we arrived (after helping us manage some travel difficulties) and gave us a comprehensive walkthrough and warm welcome. The property was so beautiful and right off the beach as promised. Everything was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The neighborhood had top notch security leaving us feeling very safe all times of day. It was very close to tons of restaurants/shops with easy accessibility to taxis if needed. If you’re looking for an easy and relaxing vacation this is the perfect spot!

This place is a gem. It is a very large spacious and comfortable villa with a fabulous team on hand to make sure your stay is perfect. The bedrooms are large with big beds & fabulous double basin bathrooms. The pool and garden are beautiful and the sandy beach is a stone’s throw away. Although in Playa de Carmen, the villa is in a quiet cul-de-sac where the most you will hear is birdsong  & the possible fall of coconuts from the surrounding palm trees. Tara was always on hand to help with any queries. The kitchen is well-equipped and we took advantage of the add-on chef services as a treat. I would highly recommend this place to stay if you’re visiting the Gulf Coast.

Nothing better! ❤️ This was by far the most glorious service we have had the privilege of experiencing in an Airbnb. We were blown away with the experience provided! Our stay with four children was comfortable, memorable and incredibly well organized. The service and communication from Tara and Luis provided 5 days of ease and comfort as we were so well taken care of, questions answered and excursions established for our adventurous family! Tara coordinated private drivers, groceries to be delivered pre-arrival and a private excursion (for an additional affordable cost)for our entire family that had every member of our family feeling like we truly saw the culture of the Yucatán peninsula. The excursion included swimming in cenotes, hiking through jungles to see monkeys, exploring the ruins of coba, lunch and zip lining through a jungle! The house was well stocked, a/c in the bedrooms was glorious at night, beds were comfortable, plenty of space and the pool felt like we were at our own private resort. We had our own washer and dryer, the house provides bottled water and luxurious showers! Just a 15 minute walk to downtown Playa del Carmen gave us days and pleasant evenings of enjoying local food, music and plenty of shopping. Staying in this lovely home was the vacation we were hoping for and exceeded all of our expectations! Thank you Tara, Luis & Stirling! -The Dill Family

This house is even more beautiful than the pictures! The villa managers, Tara and Luis make this house feel like home. During your stay, they are incredibly helpful, present and knowledgeable. Whenever we needed something they were incredibly responsive and were at the front door to get us what we needed. Rooms: all spacious with wonderful ambient lighting and vaulted ceilings. Bathrooms: all glass ceilings, rainfall shower heads in all but the master. Living shower walls & windows with gorgeous plants. WiFi speeds: 93 mb/s wireless, 102 mb/s wired Distance to the beach: less than 50 feet, but there is seaweed. (It’s playacar) 24/7 security in a gated community. Walkability: incredibly close 10 min walk to the mall, local restaurants and ferry. Thank you Stirling, Tara and Luis!

Villa la Golondrina was a fantastic space tucked just off the beach and filled with character. The space is perfect for a family or group of friends to enjoy Playacar and the surrounding areas -- about a 10-15 minute walk to the entrance of Playacar, and 15-20 to Avenida Quinta. As other reviewers have mentioned, the plumbing and hot water can be a bit particular, but this is relatively trivial and completely overshadowed by the rest of the home. The staff and host were extremely responsive and incredibly nice throughout our entire stay. We will definitely consider returning!

This Villa is all about location, size and great staff. Playacar is an overall great location to enjoy Playa but this villa, located one row back from the ocean, is special. The privacy you feel here makes it stand out from the others in the community. It is an easy, two minute walk to the beach and has a lovely, private pool to enjoy when you want to be out of the wind and sand of the beach. The walk to 5th Ave is 10 minutes for restaurants, bars and shopping. The 4 bedroom villa has a bathroom for each bedroom. Our group of 8 adults enjoyed the indoor and outdoor space (including the rooftop deck!). No one ever felt crowded in the space. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The daily service was appreciated and made our group feel like it was vacation. We highly recommend this villa for your next holiday.

Our group of 7 (3 couples one single traveler) had a blast. Pros: half a block to the beach, daily maid service, big house, giant pool and the staff was VERY responsive. Cons: the house was old and definitely had a few minor issue, for instance the plumbing clogged a few times and the doors and windows locked, but definitely could have been forced open by a determined intruder. In summary, the house was a great value. You will not be disappointed. However, don’t expect a brand new modern house.

Paradise doesn't even begin to describe this wonderful home and location! Between the spacious and clean accommodations, being steps from the beach and close to town, our group could not have had a better experience. Communication with the hosts was always easy and quick, and they gave us tons of tips about dining and activities in the area. Lovely hosts, lovely home - highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay! The house location is perfect as is the amenities in and out of the house. The kitchen has utensils and electronics, all rooms are comfortable and warm in decoration. The children had an amazing time, and we were very quiet because the house is safe and the pool has the perfect height for them. Mr. Abel and Mrs. Luci are very attentive people and are always on the lookout for guests. Highly recommended!!! We hope to return soon!

Pasamos una estancia increíble! La ubicación de la casa es perfecta al igual que los servicios dentro y fuera de ella. La cocina cuenta con utensilios y electrónicos, todas las estancias son cómodas y cálidas en decoración. Los niños la pasaron increíble, y nosotros muy tranquilos porque la casa es segura y la alberca tiene la altura perfecta para ellos. El señor Abel y la señora Luci son personas muy atentas y siempre están al pendiente de los huéspedes. Muy recomendable!!! Esperamos regresar pronto!

The pictures do not do justice for the house.  It was amazing and secluded! Plenty of room for the entire family.  This house had a great pool and yard area for the entire family.  Take your family and enjoy!

We were a family of 8 adults (4 couples).  It was perfect for our group.  Every couple had their own bedroom and ensuite.  The pool was so fun and refreshing.  Loved having coffee in the morning out on the second floor balcony.  Very close to the beach. Beds were very comfy.  Luci came every other day to clean and do the towels, she was so sweet. Señor Abel was there to clean the pool every morning and was very responsive to a flat tire on one of the bikes. Lots of birds and wildlife hanging around. We will be going back!  Oh yes and thank you for the welcome wine!

Wonderful place, centrally located to many attractions.   It housed 6 adults and 4 children with room to spare.  Everyone had a wonderful time in the pool and easy access to the beach.  Many good memories made!!

Great location about a 15 minute walk to 5th Avenue in Playa del Carmen, and 50 steps from the beach. The area of Playacar is gated with security and the felt very safe. This is an older, classic Mexican style home with a well stocked kitchen and daily maid service. The hosts provided great recommendations for local shopping, tours, and restaurants and were very easy to deal with. While this is not the most modern and updated property in Playacar, it is clean and has all the amenities for a great vacation. Our group of 8 were comfortable and the consensus of our group who have travelled extensively all over the world is a 3.5 star property.

Hi John, Thank you for your review, and I'm sorry we weren't able to provide the five star experience we were aiming for. We always want to provide our guests with the best accommodation and vacation experience that we can in our beloved family villa. We will certainly take your suggestions into account, and if we are lucky enough to have you as guests again, I encourage you to reach out during your stay so we can do what we can to improve things while you're still on the ground, so to speak. Thank you again and enjoy your travels!

We had a wonderful time celebrating a special birthday at Villa La Golondrina in Playa del Carmen.  The Villa is beautifully decorated in a Mexican motif with spacious bedrooms, all with their own bathrooms.  We enjoyed all the aspects of this home, from it's garden, private pool, balconies and  great views. It's located in a lovely gated community with lovely and unique properties.  The location was excellent as we could walk to the beach in 3 minutes to jump in the beautiful Caribbean sea.  We were also able to walk into town in 20 minutes either via the beach or through the community.  For longer trips you can easily catch a cab just by talking with  one of the many security personnel in the neighborhood.  We can't say enough good things about our hosts, Stirling and Gloria, who provided us with so much helpful information and recommendations about the area from grocery stores, restaurants and shopping, to nearby beaches for great snorkeling, Mayan ruins  and other attractions.  Sr. Abel, the house manager was very responsive to any request we had and Luci came to clean the Villa, change sheets and towels and even did dishes and laundry for us.  We felt very spoiled!  We all agree that we would definitely return to this home again! thomeagainhome again

Highly recommended for a lovely family vacation. Hosts were very responsive and sent along a long and thoughtful list of bags to do for the adults and the kids. The home is open and airy and very classic with Mexican touches. The location is incredible - one quiet cup de sac but right in front of the ocean and a lovely beach.

Beautiful place and so close for shopping, restaurants and the beach 

Casa Golondrina is a great property. It has an excellent location, within steps to the beach. Loved walking around the neighborhood and exploring the mini-Mayan ruins, and the tree lined streets. The front yard is surrounded by coconut/palm trees that give you that jungle vibe. It rained a couple days during our stay, and we actually didn’t mind it. Kitchen is great with all the amenities one could have, and they’re a lot of fun things to do around the area. Walking into town via the cobblestoned steets takes about 15 minutes for a slow walker, so one may need to take a taxi into town which is pretty cheap! Also, food delivery is reasonable. Overall, great experience and you will use the pool! 

Excelent location!!! Excelent house! Every thing perfect!! Super recommend!!

Villa la Golondrina is a beautiful house in an amazing location. About a 15 minute walk to the ferry terminal and start of downtown Playa. Our hosts were very helpful, providing tons of information on the area. The house is located on a dead end surrounded by palm trees offering privacy. It was steps away from the beach and had a private pool. There were plenty of chairs for both the pool and the beach, as well as a couple of umbrellas there for our use. The kitchen is fully equipped and beautifully decorated with colorful tile. The upstairs master bed and bath offered privacy and great amenities. The three bedrooms downstairs all had their own bathrooms with great water pressure. One bedroom claims to also have a twin bed but it is more like a window seat. Finally, Senor Abel and Luci who came by daily to take care of the pool and clean the house were lovely and very helpful during our stay.

Thank you so much Shannon! You were wonderful guests and we'd love to have you back!

This property is truly exceptional. What a great location. I can not think of one negative thing to say. Our entire family loved the house and hopefully we will return.

Thank you so much Kim! We hope to welcome you and your family back soon!

The house is very beautiful, and the hosts are excellent people.

Very nice house and the service is very good. We all love this place and have a wonderful time!

Want to feel like you're in the Garden of Eden?  Then stay here. The landscape and outdoor spaces are to die for. Inside the home is spacious with enough room for everyone to have their own space. Working with Stirling and Gloria was easy and I felt 100% prepared for our vacation. I would absolutely stay here again. 

This house is beautiful and exceeded ALL of my expectations. The pictures do not do it justice. The pool is beautiful. Every room, every wall, every bathroom is beautiful decorated. The detail and thought that went in to the decor of this home is breathtaking. I felt very comfortable there.  It was close to the most beautiful beach, and you can hear the waves crashing on the beach. I very highly recommend this property, it was worth every dollar and I never wanted to leave.

Thank you so much for your lovely review Lara! We do hope to see you and your friends again soon and are so thrilled you had a great time. Your kind words mean so much to us!

Great Villa that was just as advertised – steps from the beach, short walk to town, etc. Would absolutely recommend this home to a friend!

Thank you for your review Charlie! So glad you all had a great time. Hope to host you and your friends in the future.
