Barbara was great! House was beautiful and loved how the place got cleaned each day. Small kitchen but it worked. A bit of a walk to town but very doable. Beach is right at your feet. Would definitely recommend!

This was our second weeklong family gathering at Barbara’s place. Perfect for a mix of ages, children and parents and grandparents. Right on the beach, feet from the ocean, walking distance to Playa del Carmen, and daily maid service that helps keeps the place tidy. The maid service can also cook meals for you …. Though the kitchen is great for do it yourselfers.

This is the second time my family and I have returned to Casa en el Mar and we would do it a thousand more times. The house is 100% as shown in the pictures and the service of Luisa and Nayeli make the stay unique. You feel at home, but on vacation. Barbara is always super communicative and willing to help in any way. It's a unique experience! The beach is at the foot of the house and very clean. Super family atmosphere and with 5th Avenue 5 minutes away for all kinds of experiences. Thank you very much!

Perfect place for several families with small children. Views fantastic. Right on the beach. Daily maid service kept sand down. Lots of space to be together in group or to escape for privacy.

Was a really pretty place with great views in the early morning. Don’t think it’s worth what we paid. There was a leak that smelled and the cleaning ladies told us we had to empty the buckets of water leaking out of the water heater. It leaked into the kitchen even with the bucket. The car service Barbra ordered for us had wet seats that we had to soak into for the hour car ride from the airport and on top of that the car service charged us $160 which was supposed to be $60 one way. The beach is a public beach. And gets pretty busy during the day. The public will come and pop up their umbrellas right in front of your beach view which was pretty disappointing. The neighbors were blasting horrible music the whole time too which didn’t help. It’s a really unique home and good location but not as relaxing as we thought it’d be.

We had a tremendous stay at Barbara's beautiful home right on the beach in Playacar, a lovely gated ocean-front community just south of Playa del Carmen. We were a family of five enjoying a warm-weather break from the cold northeast US (the home could have fit several more people also!). The home is comfortable, spacious, updated, beautifully furnished, and right on the lovely beach, with stunning views of the ocean from much of the house. We really enjoyed the large deck with lounge furniture, outdoor shower, dining table and chairs, and small pool, right on/above the beach and sea for swimming. The walk to the bustling town of Playa del Carmen is about one mile, which we did often. We also rented a car for grocery shopping and excursions. The housekeeper Luisa and her daughter are lovely, too! We paid a little extra to have them cook delicious fresh Mexican lunches for us on several days. We loved it all!
