French doors open from all four bedrooms to a lush private garden with a swimming pool. This 4BR villa in Playa del Carmen also offers a rooftop terrace with ocean views, steps from the beach.
The Space
Villa La Golondrina is a beautifully crafted Mexican beach villa that blends traditional design with modern architectural elements. The villa features sun-baked Saltillo floors, glossy Mexican tiles, a colorful kitchen, and garden-inspired bathrooms. Created with care by the owner and her architect, the design draws inspiration from classic Mexican haciendas.
The villa includes four spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Each bedroom has remote-controlled air conditioning units, while common areas are cooled by fans and open French doors that invite refreshing Caribbean breezes. The villa’s high ceilings, elegant brickwork, and original Mexican artwork add to its charm.
French doors in all four bedrooms open to a lush, private garden with a full-size swimming pool surrounded by tropical plants and tall palms, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.
A favorite gathering spot is the breezy rooftop terrace, accessible via interior or exterior stairs. Guests can sunbathe during the day or enjoy cocktails in the evening while taking in ocean views.
Location
The villa is located on a quiet cul-de-sac with no street traffic, offering a private PlayaCar address. It is just steps away from a white-sand beach and a 10-minute walk to La Quinta pedestrian thoroughfare (5th Avenue), where you will find numerous restaurants and shops.

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.

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!

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.

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.
