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.

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.

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.

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.
