4BR villa in Playa del Carmen

4BR Gated Playacar Villa | Private Pool · Beach - Houses for Rent in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico

The home was generally as described, but we experienced a major issue during our stay. The water was shut off for approximately 5–6 hours (from mid-afternoon into the evening) due to repairs, leaving us without access to sinks, toilets, or showers during that time. This significantly impacted our stay, especially with young children and seniors, and made the home not usable for a meaningful portion of the night. The home otherwise was pleasant to stay in, Dan was responsive, and was easy to find. Dan also was kind enough to mail out clothes I had forgotten after our stay.

Thank you for your review. We would like to clarify a few points regarding your stay. A faucet was accidentally broken by previous guests and required repairs. You were informed about the work one day in advance and did not raise any objections. During the repair process, you temporarily left the property and returned approximately five hours later. The repairs took longer than initially expected due to difficulties in locating the necessary parts to find in Mexico. Since you weren't in the house either, our plumber continued working. Upon your return, full water service was restored within an hour, and all facilities were fully operational. We find it difficult to understand how this brief interruption significantly impacted your overall experience, especially considering that large water tanks were available in the house and the pool remained usable throughout your stay. We also noted the numerous unfriendly messages you sent, along with a demand for a $650 refund for this short period without water. It appears that the focus was primarily on financial compensation rather than on resolving the situation amicably. Thanks to Airbnb support, this amount was fairly reduced to $150. While we regret that this incident occurred, we take pride in being attentive and responsive hosts, as reflected in many positive reviews from previous guests. We remain committed to providing excellent service and support to all our guests without exception. Team VacationPlaya

We had a great stay here.  There was 4 adults and 3 teens and there was plenty of space and bathrooms.  We didn't have a rental car but this was a perfect space to be able to walk to all the activities and amenities on 10th and 5th.  It was also nice that we could get away from the crowds and be able to enjoy some pool time. Dan was super responsive and helpful with suggestions.  When we go back to Playa this will definitely be the place if it is available.

Amazing location, walkable to the beach and downtown PDC. Dan was very responsive and recommended drivers, private chef service (a real highlight), and activities. His grounds crew were also great. The house is on a busy street but that did not bother us.

Great place, 7 minutes walk to beach and about 10 minutes walk to main area of town. Nice house and very responsive hosts.

It was a great location for a get together with extended family

Wonderful place. Very spacious and clean. Location was perfect - both the beach and city were easily walkable.

Beautiful, spacious and clean casa. Secure neighborhood relatively close to all services (grocery store 20-minute walk). For activities between Cancun and Tulum on the 307, I suggest you take the collectivo (station in front of Chedraui) much cheaper than taxis and very fast. However, if you go further than Tulum, the colectivo is not very frequent and a taxi is preferable for the return home.

Superbe casa spacieuse et propre. Quartier sécurisé relativement près de tous les services (épicerie à 20 minutes à pied). Pour les activités entre cancun et tulum sur la 307, je vous suggère de prendre le collectivo (station en face du Chedraui) beaucoup moins cher que les taxis et très rapide. Si toutefois vous allez plus loin que Tulum, le collectivo n’est pas très fréquent et le taxi est préférable pour le retour à la maison.

Loved this place! Can’t wait to go back

Our family of 6 enjoyed this property. Plenty of room and everything worked properly. We stayed in late June so it was incredibly hot and humid. The air conditioning worked great and kept the house cool. We don’t use the pool at all. We took advantage of the beach clubs in Cozumel, the cenotes nearby, and other tours in the area. We walked to town everyday, sometimes twice per day. It’s an easy walk but takes about 10-15 mins and in the heat you’ll get a little sweaty. I felt safe at all times. Even down dark alleys and late at night. 5th avenue is great. I thought it would be cheesy and annoying but it’s much nicer than we imagined. Good restaurants, some good shops, and lots of great people watching. 10th also had great taco stands and restaurants. The location of this place is perfect if you’re going to interact with the town of Playa.

This house is perfect. It’s huge. Close to the beach and amazing. Don’t hesitate to book it.

We had a wonderful stay. responsive hosts with excellent recommendations. we highly  recommend Uxata Chef Services who prepared a special dinner to celebrate my mum's 70th birthday. thanks!

Our group of 8 can’t say enough good things about staying here! The location was so accessible, and made the walk to the beach and town just minutes away. We felt incredibly safe and comfortable in the secured community, and the house had everything we needed to cook, spend the day at the beach, and relax and home. Best of all were the host’s recommendations. They helped coordinate transportation to and from the airport, a yacht to Isla Mujeres, and a private chef. All were 10/10 experiences. The cleaning staff and quick communication with the host were also huge pluses. Stay here if you want a smooth, relaxing, beautiful vacation!!

The host was very helpful and the support staff was great! The house was amazing, great location in respect to the city center and the ocean.

Great spot. The beach was pretty exclusive. A little farther of a walk than we’re used to from staying in Playa but overall the place was great and easy to get around.

We stayed here with a large family group. Lovely home with comfortable rooms and a spacious exterior with lots of room to hang out around the pool. Although we had a few small issues with the house, we were very impressed with Dan. We ultimately had to switch to another of their listings for the last few days of our stay so they could do a repair that came up, but we loved the other place, and Dan and Tonny (who was truly fantastic!) even helped us move. Two things to note: the rooftop terrace is up a steep flight of outdoor stairs (more ladder-like in parts) so not suitable for older or very young guests, and it’s accessed by going through one of the bedrooms. Also the house is on the main street in playacar which makes it easy to find and closer to town, but you do hear the car traffic. We had a great stay, and it’s a great home for the price and location! Thanks again to the team for being so accommodating with our group and my quirky family!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this beautiful home! Eight of us celebrated a bachelorette party here, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The hosts were incredible—extremely responsive and always quick to answer any questions. Neighborhood is gated with security. Beach and Mayan ruins in the neighborhood is a 10 minute walk. One of the highlights of our trip was hiring Susan from Uno Catering, recommended by the hosts. She was incredible—so friendly and professional, and her food was out of this world! The hosts also helped us book massages at the house and they were wonderful. The house is stunning, with plenty of space for a group. The pool area was fantastic—spacious and perfect for lounging—and the hosts even had all the pool floats blown up for us upon arrival, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you’re debating booking, do it!!

The house is big enough for two families, a little bit dated but very clean. It's located very close to the beach and to the 5th avenue. Dan was responsive and very easy to communicate.

We loved Dan's place. We were a party of 7 and fit nicely. My son had a good time in the pool. If you have a rental car, make sure you don't park below the palm tree.

My group had the best time staying at Dan & Mariana’s villa Estefania! The house is beautiful and just as described and pictured. Dan & Mariana were also so helpful and went above and beyond with having groceries shopped for us prior to arrival, as well as helping with getting balloon decorations set up ahead of time as we were there for a bachelorette. The back pool area at the house was also so beautiful and private, and the pool was super clean. The gated neighborhood is beautiful and very secure, and walkable to both beach and town! The daily maid service was also a great perk.  Dan & Mariana also provided contacts for a private chef service, airport transportation, and cenote tour guide/transportation - we used all 3 and they were all fantastic and easy to work with as well. HIGHLY recommend going on the cenote tour with Oscar, it was so beautiful and he was an incredible guide! 5 star experience all around, Dan&Mariana were proactive, responsive, & kind hosts.

Cannot say enough good things about this place! The hosts are absolutely wonderful and very responsive. The house was always spotless clean. We really enjoyed the pool and all the little creatures that shared the backyard! It was very nice that all the bedrooms had their own huge bathrooms and walk in showers! Town was a 10 minute walk and the beach was about 5! We would 100% book this home again! We really enjoyed our stay!

Dan’s fun house served us well for our family trip to Playa del Carmen. Easy walk to restaurants, shopping and the beach. Dan was friendly and easy to communicate with.

This is Gorgeous comfortable house, only a few mins walk to the beach. We loved every aspect of it. The host always responsive It was simply a pleasant experience. The only thing was that the house is on a busy start street, we wanted to use the terrace for yoga, but it was too noisy from all the traffic going by. Overall it was a pleasant experience and we’re grateful! 🙏🏼✨🤍

I booked Dan's villa for a bachelorette party of six & it exceeded expectations! The house was even more beautiful in person than the pictures. Each bedroom had its own, beautiful & well appointed bathroom. There were plenty of beach & pool towels to use throughout our four day stay. The main living area was inviting & cozy, with a great dining area that we congregated around during our stay. The pool & rooftop were the group's favorite part, with beautiful views of the sun as it was setting in the evening from the roof & views of the beautiful & lush greenery as we sat around the pool. The house sits right outside of town in a gated area, so it is very safe and private. Lots of great areas to walk around within the community, including a path through ancient Mayan ruins toward the beach area. It is about a five minute walk to town, & about a 15 minute walk to some of the more livelier restaurants & clubs. The hosts were extremely responsive and accommodating! Highly recommend!

Dan’s place was a perfect place for a group trip to Playa Del Carmen. He was extremely responsive and the house is gorgeous overall. Dan always had someone there if it was necessary and the house was easy to get in and out. Great AC and plenty of hot water too. The home had plenty of space for everyone in our group and any essential kitchen supplies you think you may need. If you need a spot to stay during your visit to Playa Del Carmen, definitely look no further.

This place was amazing! Perfect location, Dan Mariana were easy to get a hold of and quick to respond through Airbnb. We would love to stay here again in the future!

Really cozy stay for our family of eight for a week long holiday. Dan was great at communication and showed up at the Airbnb to help us with whatever was needed. He even helped build a curtain for one of the bathrooms to give my sister more privacy. The daily cleaning was amazing and Angela was so sweet, as well as Tony! We loved the pool and spent most of the day lounging outside and was great to have so many beach towels in the house. Each room having their own bathroom was definitely a plus. We had a great time and would recommend!

Fantastic service all around! Great host, great place and excellent service from both Dan and the Flying Dutchman ! Will definitely book again!

We stayed with four couple celebrating our 40th birthdays. The location was great - 5 minute walk to the beach and 10 minutes to downtown. No need to rent a car. The beach was beautiful and we enjoyed hanging out by the pool. The daily cleaning service was also great. The place is slight dated but was a great size for our crew - would be great for families too!

We enjoyed staying at Dan & Mariana’s place. It was a gorgeous house with tons of space for 8 of us. The pool was amazing and we were able to walk everywhere we needed including the grocery store. The actual neighborhood was private, guarded and very safe. We would absolutely stay there again.

Just got back from an amazing stay at Villa Estefanía! A group of 7 of us stayed here and were delighted from start to finish. The villa is so cozy and spacious. The beds are very comfortable the kitchen is very large and great for entertaining as well as the backyard with the beautiful pool. Tony would come everyday to clean. The maid came once while we were out on Saturday. The property is located in a very exclusive neighborhood and is a five minute walk away from the beautiful riviera maya beaches and ruins! We were also walking distance to the famous 5th ave strip! The best part was Oscar! He was our chofer and tour guide to the cenotes. We felt very safe with him and well attended. He was amazing and very knowledgeable about our surroundings. We couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you Dan and Mariana for an amazing experience!!!

We had an amazing stay at Casa Estafania!! The house is exactly as it's shown in the photos. We loved the backyard with its lush greenery creating a very private area around the pool, the only intruders being the adorable coati and agouti who sometimes darted along the fenceline. We used Patrick for tours and he took us on the most amazing cenote tour!! It was magical, a once in a lifetime experience. And he helped us get into ecoparks and was so patient with us, even after we lost his snorkel. He was top notch, as was Tony the facilities guy, who was so fun to chat with and took great care of the pool and anything else that needed attention. Dan and Mariana were so responsive to our every need and request. We have no complaints about the house! You should know that 4 of the 5 mattresses are quite firm, but that was a positive for our group. The location of the home is perfect, a short walk to the beautiful beach and into town where there are lots of great stores and restaurants.

If you are lucky enough that this villa is available, stop thinking and just book it. We stayed here for 5 night and loved it. It was clean, well stocked, had comfortable beds, A/C in every room, and an amazing private backyard. The gated community made us feel extra safe and it was a ~10min walk to the heart of Playa Del Carmen. Would stay here again in a heartbeat

We had a great stay at this home. It was spacious for 7 adults. The AC worked really well and we enjoyed the covered patio. The maid service was    wonderful. It was an easy walk to the beach and a moderate walk into town.

Stayed here for my bachelorette with 8 friends and it was so spacious and perfect to have some fun and catch some sun by the pool. I would highly recommended booking this spot with friends or family.

5 of us stayed at Villa Estefania for 4 nights for a girls trip in Jan 2024.  It was lovely and very relaxing. We loved it! 5 stars!! We followed the advice given in several other ratings and hired the personal chef who prepared the Mexican fiesta on our first night. It was delicious and we highly recommend as well. We also ate breakfast at Lara y Luca every morning. I could happily eat there every morning of my life I think. Lara y Luca is walkable from the villa, but all other places that we wanted to eat required a taxi. It was easy enough to get a taxi. Often times we could get one right in front of the house, but a short walk to the community gate would guarantee a taxi. I recommend withdrawing pesos as soon as possible when arriving in Mexico. You will need them for taxis and for tipping the housecleaning staff that come every couple of days. The ATM fee is kind of expensive, but it's a flat fee, so make sure you withdraw enough the first time so you don't have to withdraw again.

Dan and Mariana were wonderful hosts. The house was very comfortable and the location could not be beat.

We had a great week in Playacar.  The house and grounds were clean when we arrived.  The pool and patio were cleaned daily and the house cleaners came twice which was helpful.   The pool area is nicely shaded and felt private.  The home is located on the main road.  At first we worried that it would be too loud, but it really didn't bother us and it made it very easy to walk to town and the beach.   Some of the decor felt a little dark and dated, but it was comfortable.  The outdoor seating area under the roof was a highlight.  Dan and Mariana were very responsive and answered all of our questions.  Oscar was a wonderful guide to the Tulum ruins and Dos Ojos Cenote and took care of our transport to and from the airport and a beach day at Xpu-ha.   Thank you for a great week!

Absolutely as described.  Close to the beach and to town.  The house is kept very clean both inside and out.  We used Oscar for transports and excursions and he could not have been nicer.  All around, a great vacation with a total of 8 people.

Great hosts that answered all questions about the stay quickly.  The Location is great, walkable to downtown Playa Del Carmen.  The cleaners were outstanding.

Great house for a stay in Playa. Private neighborhood, spacious house with great pool and rooftop terrace, walkable to shops/restaurants/beaches no problem. Will definitely look for availability here next time we come to Playa Del Carmen. Thank you Dan & Mariana!!

My family and I had a wonderful time at Villa Estefania. Dan and Mariana were exceptionally welcoming and responsive when anything popped up. The location was perfect to be able to walk to a beautiful beach and the main street in downtown Playa del Carmen. Best, Ross

Dan and Marianna were incredible hosts, very responsive and flexible throughout the booking process and our stay. The house was perfect for our groups with big beds and bathrooms in every room. Regular housekeeping was a huge bonus.

Dan and Mariana are great. The house itself is awesome and close to everything. The driver Oscar provides excellent service. It was a five star experience.

If you’re visiting Playa del Carmen just book this place! It was so much more than I expected. Perfect distance from everything, extremely clean, very secure and private area and walking distance to La Quinta. Dan and Mariana were absolutely fabulous. Their communication was above standard and were extremely flexible with our needs. The house was spotless and the pool area was very well maintained. I will definitely be booking this place in the future! 10/10 recommend.

Stay was great! Everything was very easy and the hosts were very responsive. Great location, within walking distance to everything. Had 3 adults and 4 teenagers in group and everyone was happy!!

We enjoyed our stay at Dan and Mariana’s beautiful home. They were extremely helpful throughout and responded to every question we had in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend this home to anyone going to playa del Carmen, especially with a big group. Very walkable into town and also enclosed within a private community that makes you feel extremely safe. Don’t think twice! We also did the private chef (Susana team from uno events) and it was amazing! Also used Oscar’s transportation service, which made our entire stay that much easier! 10/10 would recommend staying here!

Dan was so helpful and accomodating for our group. The house is amazing and in the best location in playa. It’s a safe and short walk to the main strip. We had the best time and would recommend to friends and family!!

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Estefania! The bedrooms were comfortable, had individual AC units and there were plenty of bathrooms for our group. We appreciated how responsive Dan & Mariana were and their recommendations and coordination for massages, chef and transportation - all which were A+ service! Would stay here again and recommend booking!

Can't say enough positive things about the house itself as well as Dan and Mariana as hosts! They were extremely helpful and communicative from the initial booking through checkout at the end of the weekend. Our group had an amazing weekend at the house. Per their recommendation and echoed by other reviewers, Oscar made all transportation seamless and Susan's chef prepared a fantastic dinner at the house for us one night. Beach access was close by and we had breakfast each morning at Lara & Luca's (just a short walk from the house). Thank you again to Dan and Mariana for everything and I wouldn't hesitate staying at the villa again on our next trip!

We absolutely loved our stay! House is very clean and well maintained. Only improvement I could recommend would be to replace some bath towels that were pretty worn but other than that, house was in a great location and was perfect. Safe and welcoming community. Hosts went above and beyond to answer my questions and even helped us when pizza delivery couldn’t find us and I could not speak Spanish. Thank you for everything !

Do not hesitate to book this villa. It is the best Airbnb experience I have ever had and I have stayed at over 30 properties. It is beautiful and as described. The pool is wonderful and we spent many nights on the rooftop. I felt so at home and comfortable at this villa and the hosts were actually amazing. They accommodated every request and question. We requested groceries be delivered and they were exactly as ordered, they even dropped off extra pool floaties when we inquired. You will not regret staying here :)

We had a great time at Dan and Mariana’s house. We loved the pool area and the proximity to the beach. Each bedroom has it’s own ensuite which we really appreciated. The house was equipped with everything we needed. The walk in to town was quick and easy from the property. Dan and Mariana were friendly, accommodating, and responded promptly to all of our questions. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Villa Estefania is an ideal getaway location. The place is perfectly located - tucked inside a quiet, safe, private community (with gates and checkpoint guards) - yet mere minutes to the beach and the bustling downtown. Location honestly could not be better. The place is also pristinely clean and beautiful. There was maid service multiple times throughout our stay, but the bedrooms are huge and relaxing, and to say the backyard is an oasis is an understatement. We spent 90% of our time there in the pool/lounging in the sun recliners by the pool/ reading, napping and eating in the multitude of comfortable furniture under the shaded deck and little cabana area. We also climbed up to the thatched roof deck in the mornings for coffee with the best views around. Dan & Mariana we’re incredibly communicative and made great recommendations. We did book an excursion with Oscar, which was the highlight of the trip. I strongly recommend using Oscar for any sightseeing! Fantastic place!!

Such a beautiful space!  We loved hanging out by the pool.  There was plenty of room for folks to spread out, and I was pleased with how quiet the bedrooms are!  Dan and Mariana were very helpful and always responded quickly.  Oscar was a gem - charming, accommodating and a great guide!

Wonderful stay in a convenient and safe neighborhood in a spotlessly clean house. We were a group of six adults and one toddler and had plenty of room inside and out by the pool. Villa Estefania is an easy walk to 5th Ave and many great restaurants- we particularly enjoyed Lara & Luca’s for breakfast and Casa Sofia for pizza. We also had two fantastic dinners prepared by Uno Events, the private chef that Dan & Mariana recommended, and also used the recommended private tour company for rides to the airport. Dan was very responsive to any and all questions and we could not have asked for a better experience!

My friends and I had an amazing time at Dan & Mariana’s villa! It was beautifully decorated and well-appointed, very comfortable and spacious for our group of 7. We would love to stay again!

The home was great, in a nice area and served our needs. It was clean and the pool/cleaning crew did a great job daily. The pool area was nicely done.

The villa Estefania is a nice place for a family vacation. Very clean and safe place. They have everything there. It takes less than 10 min to reach the beach and close to the downtown restaurants. Very easy and fast responses from Dan and Mariana. Chef Mafe gave us a nice dinner, and the cleaning lady did a nice job. Thank you, Dan and Mariana.

This house was perfect for the needs of my group. The check in was easy and Dan and Mariana were always available to help with any questions. The house was clean and spacious. The backyard was perfect along with the great size pool. They came to clean it every morning which was a great touch. The walk to downtown was 10 minutes (max). You feel extremely safe in the gates community, although you felt safe all over PDC. I highly recommend this house with a group of friends or family as it has everything you will need!

An amazing Villa! Perfect location, 5 minutes walk to the beach via private access, 10 minute walk Into playa del carmen 5th avenue where you can find everything! Restaurants, clubs, shops, beaches. Villa had everything you could need, all rooms were much bigger than the pictures give them credit for. We were a family of 7 and had plenty of space. Pool was a great size and not overlooked by anyone. Definitely recommend

This villa was exactly what we were looking for! Everything was just as the description noted, and the communication was quick and they gave great recommendations. Would definitely stay again

Very beautiful home! Great location, great hosts! Will highly recommend!!

Beautiful villa. Very well appointed and maintained. A quick walk to the beach and town so really good location. Exactly as described with everything that you need. Highly recommend.

Absolutely gorgeous home in the best neighborhood in Playa. The communication was perfect, the ac kept this home nice and cool. We showed up to a spotless home with a beautiful backyard. Lots of board games and space to be around friends and family. I can’t wait to be back. Would 1000% recommend this space to anyone.

Dan and Mariana: The following summarizes our feeling for a great family week at the villa. The villa was everything as advertised and the location was a short walk to town. The villa was very nice. We loved gathering in the kitchen, sitting together for meals and games at the large table. Having 4 bedrooms that each had private restrooms was nice. The pool was always clean and relaxing. However, the best part was the people. Dan was a gracious host. The people he works with are amazing. We hired Susan de Lima to prepare a Mexican Fiesta upon our arrival. It was the best meal we had all week. Oscar (TipTop Tours) made our trip amazing by taking us on a day trip to the ruins in Tulum, Coba, a buffet lunch and to swim in a cenote. Another day he took us to Xel-ha. He handled all of our ticket purchasing for every venue. He even took care of our airport transfers. Oscar made our vacation smooth and easy. It was a great stay at Villa Estefania and a very memorable trip for our family. Best regards, The Yost family

We were so relaxed and to add to the experience, daily cleaning, pool service and gardening.  Quiet and extremely safe location.  Dan and Mariana left explicit instructions and exemplary advice about venues near by as well!!  Don’t hesitate to book!😁

We had a wonderful stay at Dan and Mariana’s house. It was huge and homey feeling - and the pool was divine. We appreciated the recommendations they provided on taxi and shuttle services as well as their help finding a private chef - Tona - who cooked two meals for us there which were both excellent. Definitely recommend doing some private chef dinners alongside visiting the local restaurants - all of which we throughly enjoyed and many were in walking distance or a short cab ride as well as the beach. We can’t wait to come back to la Playa and would not hesitate to return to this home!

Excellent stay! Dan was an excellent host. We will be back!

We had a great time here and loved everything about our stay.  The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed. We had a large family with young kids and toddlers. The house was equipped with a highchair, booster seat, pack and play crib, etc. The living area and pool were great for everyone to be together and have fun. We we're excited to find beach toys too! Dan and Mariana helped answer all our questions ahead of time and got us in touch with the right people.  We loved our tour guide, Oscar, who took us to Chichenitza. He taught us so much and was so patient with our large group. The maids were great also! The location is also great and perfect for what we needed for our family vacation.

It's a villa with a charm.  Dan is a great host.

The house was excellent!  Five minutes from a quiet, white sand beach and 15-20 minutes walk to ferry, shopping and food.  The bed rooms were spacious and comfortable, number of bathrooms was great, and kitchen made it easy to make your own meals.  The backyard w pool and rooftop deck were so great that we spent 2 days of our vacation at the house!  Can't say enough about Dan and his communications and support.

Dan & Mariana’s property is amazing! It fit our 10 guests comfortably and is in a beautiful location. The pool was wonderful and it felt like we were hidden in the jungle. Dan was incredibly supportive and helpful throughout our entire stay. He has amazing connections with chefs and taxi + van drivers in town. We felt very taken care of! Thank you Dan & Mariana!

Great place to stay with wonderful layout for big groups and Easy access to beach and restaurants! Dan was very responsive to my communication and questions and made the stay very nice! However, it would be nice if shampoo could also be provided! A very small detail but would be nice since they already have soap and hand soap as well

Best location! 15 min walk to the beach, 10 min walk to downtown, 2 min walk to a small bird zoo, the community is gated so we felt safe the whole time, the communication with the host was impeccable, the house itself is a beauty. It had everything we needed for our 6 month old baby & 2 year old son. The sun hits the pool perfectly and the rooftop is breathtaking. There’s a book with everything you need to know food, things to see and do, and even a trustworthy taxi! The kitchen is also beautiful and spacious. Rooms were huge!!!!! And the individual bathrooms are the perfect touch, especially with 7 adults and 2 children. Please if you have children, I recommend this place, we stressed enough with what to pack and bring but Dan had everything necessary for our children, like pool floats, pack n plays, blankets, high chair, etc. Our 6 month old baby had allergy to the weather but Dan easily sent us a close by local place for him to be seen, turned out to be a small allergy. Couldn’t be happier with the communication & service.

Dan & Mariana's villa in Playa del Carmen is recommended. We stayed with 9 people in the accommodation and absolutely enjoyed our stay. There is everything you need on site! We liked the good communication with the landlords the best. Dan organized a contact for airport pick-up and excursions as well as any kind of activities could be arranged directly on site! The house is in a safety area and in very quiet location. The center is within 10 minutes walk.

Die Villa von Dan & Mariana in Playa del Carmen ist absolut empfehlenswert. Wir waren mit 9 Personen in der Unterkunft und haben unseren Aufenthalt absolut genossen. Es ist alles vor Ort was man benötigt! Am besten gefallen hat uns die gute Kommunikation mit den Vermietern. Dan hat uns einen Kontakt für die Abholung vom Flughafen organisiert und Ausflüge sowie jeder Art von Unternehmungen konnte direkt vor Ort ausgemacht werden! Das Haus befindet sich in einem Sicherheitsbereich und in sehr ruhiger Lage. Das Zentrum ist innerhalb von 10 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar.

This Airbnb is fantastic. Very affordable, spacious, & clean. Used this Airbnb for my fathers birthday and we had a total of 7 people. The neighborhood is extremely safe. In addition, it is simply a 5 minute walk to the beach as well as Playa Del Carmen downtown/beach boardwalk with tonnes of restaurants, shops, & bars. Dan was very helpful with transportation to and from the airport as well as for our excursion during the day! Great stay, highly recommended!

Our family took a two-week vacation in Mexico and we are really glad that we chose Villa Estefania. The house was perfect for the 9 of us, and Dan & Mariana had several baby items that made our trip much easier. We enjoyed our stay very much, especially the private pool. The house was cleaned regularly by Maria, who always had a smile on her face. Other great perks are the beach, which is just a few steps away, and Quinta Avenida, with everything one might need. Dan & Mariana are great hosts, very responsive and helpful. We could not recommend their place enough.

We really enjoyed our stay at the beautiful home in Playacar.  It was so nice to have the pool and to have extra pool floaties and beach toys included at the home.  We loved the vibe of the home and it has  a real nice layout for small groups.  We appreciated that it was nicely located in a gated community and we always felt safe.  We got good sleep even though the house was located on a fairly active road, which was nice actually for getting around.  The beds were super comfy, which is really important.   The only real issue was that we had some difficulty with the lack of warm water for upstairs shower use, but hopefully that will be remedied soon.  Other than that wonderful place!

Such a great location!! House was big enough for me and my family! Loved that they recommended great services, like the private chef! Everything was perfect!

Dan and Mariana were AMAZING hosts. They were very communicative and we loved them! The house was beautiful and everything that we wanted. We had a family of 10 staying at the house and we very much enjoyed the house. The location was PERFECT! We were able to walk easily to everything in town and to the beach. The house was so clean and the maid was wonderful! We created amazing memories with our family in this house and we would stay here again the next time.

Dan was a great host and responded promptly to all of our questions. The house had everything we needed for our family vacation with 6 adults and 4 children. Close to the beach, stores, food, and taxis.

Dan was a great host. He responded quickly to all our requests and made our stay even more memorable. The house was well maintained and the location was great. Very safe place to stay. Our parents stayed for 14 days and they absolutely loved the place.

Location, Location, Location! This house is perfectly situated. Its super close to downtown Playa Del Carmen and the pier to Cozumel. The beach is an easy walk away and the Mayan ruins down the street (another way to the beach) are really impressive. The guards at the entrances are also very professional and friendly. When at the house we spent all of our time in the pool, which is epic. All the bedrooms having private ensuite/bathrooms was a huge bonus too. Dan was super helpful and always communicative. He hooked us up with transportation and a chef that we would HIGHLY recommend! The shuttle service was outstanding! They offered us private tours and the drivers were fantastic! The Chef service was so wonderful that we booked them for two more meals. Just an FYI - If you don't have WhatsApp get it! Everyone uses it to communicate. It'll make life easier for you. Thanks again to Dan and everyone for making our trip fun and effortless. Can't wait to return!

great place ! dan was always helpful and provided us with any info we needed. the house is as beautiful in person as it is in pictures. Very nice for family vacations ! not far from the main strip and convient stores. some things to note: expect cold showers , and the quiet hours are real , after 11pm its very quiet in the neighborhood. plenty of space for big groups and the rooms bathrooms are huge!!

The pictures so do not do this Home justice. It is even better and more spacious in person. We are a family of 7 and we had so much space. The backyard and pool are beautiful and very relaxing. We took advantage of the private beach entrance and the beach was so pretty even though it did have some sargasso that was expected. 5th Ave really is just a 5 min walk away! The shopping is great and the food is even better. No need to take a taxi, the walk is well worth it. The daily cleaning was helpful especially with a big family. Coming home to a clean cooled home was very nice. Dan welcomed us the day we arrived and made check in very easy. Nothing better than a person who takes pride in their home and the service they provide. Thank you Dan, you really made our stay worthwhile. I can not finish this review without mentioning the wonderful tour service provided by Oscar from Tip Top Tours. He was highly recommended by Dan and we are so happy we were able to book him. He took us to Coba, XCARET, Isla mujeres, Chichén Itzá, a couple cenotes and to and from airport. Wow!! He kept our kids intrigued with the Mayan stories as well as the adults. I strongly suggest you book him for your tours, he really is the real deal and very affordable. Definitely looking to return to this beautiful home.

This house is even better than the Airbnb description. Dan & Mariana are excellent hosts, they are always available to help. The house is equipped with all that you need for an excellent vacations in Playa del Carmen, from cocktail glasses to beach towels, pool toys, fully furnished kitchen, comfy rooms and multiple spacious bathrooms. Highly recommended!!!

My family and I had a great time staying at this house. There were 9 of us and we had plenty of room for us all. Each room had a private bathroom which was a great plus. The location was walking distance from the beach and to the downtown area with shops and restaurants. The neighborhood was very safe with 24 hour strict security which made us feel very safe at all times! The private pool was nice however the water was pretty warm but we were there in July so it was kind-of expected. I would definitely recommend staying here!

The house was incredible and the area was very safe. Dan was a great host and communication was great! It was nice having housekeeping come in and clean on a daily basis. The only issue we encountered was the hot water, but other than that it was a very pleasant stay!  I would stay there again and recommend! Glad the reviews from this property were accurate the place is truly amazing and very close to everything!

Dan was a great host! Easy to communicate with, always helpful and the house was a great location. My family loved staying here.

Exceptional location! The hosts went above and beyond in ensuring that our stay was well. The housekeeping staff was kind and serviceable. The location is nearby to all attractions in Playa Del Carmen and conveniently located near the interstate. I highly recommend to families and friends alike!

The house is even better in person! Photos does not do it justice. The house is conveniently located walking distance from the beach and from downtown!!! Very safe community. Dan is very responsive and can help you with just about anything! Definitely would book again during my next stay at Playa de Carmen.

The house was exactly the way it was shown in the pictures. Loved the greenery around and the private beach access at walkable distance. The pool was nicely maintained. The house is in a gated premise guarded by security personnel- making it a safe place for our family to stay. Daily housekeeping was a pleasant surprise. We took advantage of the at home Spa service that Dan told us about and enjoyed the experience. Dan and Marina were wonderful hosts and very responsive to queries. They went out of their way in providing us pointers and references of ferry times, cab contacts and Covid test resources. Our family had a memorable vacation and we would love to come back! On a general note, carry a lot of Pesos as ATMs charge a very hefty fee in Cancun. Several services do not take credit cards and require cash payments.

Dan and all his staff were absolutely amazing! Cannot say enough about how helpful and amazing they made our stay! We loved the house, the location, and Dan was the greatest host! Dan goes over and above to make sure you are comfortable and have all that you need! He answers any calls or messages very quickly and helps all that he can. Staying at any of his properties is a great choice! We would stay at his place  again and would recommend it to anyone traveling to playa to stay with him!

Great location and beautiful home. close to the beach and downtown. loved the pool.

The home was so beautiful and in such a great neighborhood filled with lots activities to do around the area!
