2BR penthouse in Playa del Carmen

Great for Families! Luxury 2 BR Rooftop Penthouse - Condominiums for Rent in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico

This place was awesome and in a fantastic location. The host and the building staff were all extremely helpful. I will definitely stay here again!

Judith’s penthouse was everything we imagined and more! Situated on the most beautiful tree lined street in PDC, close to restaurants, shopping and the beach. We spent so much time on the balcony, meditating on the roof, dipping in the private dunk pool at sunset. We couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience. We’ll be back next time we’re in town!

I look forward to returning on my next stay! as it was such a pleasure to stay here. Spacious, clean, comfortable, with a lovely rooftop to enjoy. It was an oasis just a few steps away from the hustle n bustle, with comfortable beds - exactly the sort of peaceful home to return to for me on my trip. Thanks Judith!

The unit is exactly as described. It was very well taken care of and very clean. It exceeded our expectations and we would love to be able to stay here again. It is located in a great spot. It is a block away from a nice grocery store as well as a block away from nice restaurants and the Main Street where all the excitement is at. The unit was very spacious and comfortable. We have stayed at other Airbnb’s that have felt like hotel rooms but this penthouse makes you feel at home.

Judith's place is beautiful - the photos don't do it justice. I especially loved doing yoga on the rooftop terrace. The location is great with lots of amenities and restaurants within walking distance. Would highly recommend!

Judith this is a beautiful place you’ve got, it was actually nicer then the pictures.  Close to everything and peaceful at the same time. Thank you.

Location couldn’t be better! Rooftop is amazing! Can’t beat a morning yoga session on the roof, and cocktails in the evening with some nice music.

Fantastic accommodation located directly on the acquaintance 5th Ave. Great host. We would come back any time

Traumhafte Unterkunft direkt an der Bekannten 5th Ave gelegen. Tolle Gastgeberin. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen

Really loved our stay at this place - well located next to Quinta Avenida and super short walk to the beach (public) but still a quiet corner in the complex. The rooftop terrace is massive and we spent a lot of time there watching sunsets. Place was clean, check in process was super painless and detailed - would come back here for sure - we could not have been happier.

This is a lovely place at a great location in Playa del Carmen. Communication is smooth both with Judy and Juan. The rooftop is very nice for relaxing and having some drinks. I would definitely stay here again if I need to be in Playa.

Stayed at Judy’s place for a girls trip and everything was even better than we imagined. The space is huge and has everything you could need, they even had beach chairs, an umbrella and boogie boards to use. Inside the house was immaculately clean. The rooftop terrace was an actual dream, 3 days was definitely not long enough to get to enjoy the space to its full potential! We would 100% stay here again..for a much longer time! Also, the penthouse was just a couple blocks from the beach which was a super easy walk. Judy also had plenty of recommendations of things to do and places to eat which was very helpful!

Judy’s place might be the nicest apartment in playa!! We stayed a total of three nights but wish it could have been much longer. The apartment is absolutely beautiful and everything is in perfect condition. The private rooftop is incredible. Perfect for spending a romantic evening watching the sunset. The pool area is immaculate as well. The location itself is right where you want to be. Only a five minute walk from the beach and two minutes from 5th Ave. We were happily surprised almost everywhere we had decided we wanted to eat at before coming was only a few minutes walk away. Judy was very nice and extremely helpful. She gave us a great list of her favorites in playa and was very responsive the entire duration of our stay. We will definitely book Judy’s apartment again.

This is an amazing place. Beautiful, thoughtfully done with great living and bedroom spaces, ample bathrooms, and a private rooftop deck. Plenty of towels, the best stocked kitchen I've seen in my travels and some of the best lighting design I've ever seen at all. Surprisingly quiet for its location. The location, next to 10th Av., makes it a few minute walk to the beach - you're not right on the ocean - and there's no particular view, but the place itself is both charming and elegant. Overall, 5 stars. We had one issue - due to my having asthma - which is that the place hadn't been aired out and the bit of mustiness meant we decided not to extend our stay. One other note: we'd originally booked a different place in the building, which turned out not to be ready. We decided to call Judy, the host, who was incredibly gracious and attentive, and also flexible.

Judy's penthouse was AMAZING!!!We lucked up with her being able to accommodate us after we ran into an issue with another location. Her warmth radiated through the phone. She was even patient with us as we were lost trying to find the airbnb! If   you are looking for a wonderful host with a GORGEOUS condo, she is your go too. Additionally, there are a few steps to walk but OMG... it's sooo worth it!

This place is just amazing! 20 seconds away from the 5th, but really quiet and situated in a nice shaded garden and pool area. The apartment itself is really beautiful & high end. The beds are extremely comfortable. We didn’t use the kitchen with all the great eats in the neighborhood, but it looked very well equipped. Though the real stunner of this place is the rooftop area! So much space to lounge, sit, eat, drink with nice moodlighting and a refreshing rooftop jacuzzi! We ended every day on the rooftop with a nice cold Corona enjoying the cool sea breeze. All the staff at Arena Blanca are very friendly and helpful, and communication with Judy was quick as lightning and very enjoyable. 10/10 would stay here again! :-)

The house was very clean in a safe location close to the beach and lots of shops and restaurants.  Judy was very quick answering all our questions. Very accommodating and helpful. The house has its own roof  patio. Breathtaking and just heaven :). I would gladly book this location again. 5000 stars :) coming back soon!!!!

Beautiful! Right downtown, close to everything. Great spot for staying in Playa or for taking day trips!

Judy's apartment is truly a special property. Great location, quiet and secure. The apartment is well appointed with upscale furnishings and a well equipped kitchen. I especially enjoyed the rooftop patio. Great communication and interaction with Judy and her team. Highly recommended; you will not be disappointed.

I think we stayed in the perfect spot for our trip to Playa.  The place was beautiful and the location was perfect as we could walk just a block to the many restaurants, shopping and the beach area.  The manager Nadia was so nice and helpful and both Judy and herself were very easy to get ahold of.  We didn't rent a car, but taxis were right there to take us to a day trip to Tulum and there were a couple of tour companies just a short walk away that can arrange all sorts of adventures for your trip.  Would definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved this place. It is beautiful and stylish with some great amenities. Centrally located, we were able to walk to restaurants and nightlife in the evening, as well as walk to the local beaches and shopping in the daytime. This home again is absolutely beautiful and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone!!!

Judy's condo at Arena Blanca is amazing! The location is perfect to access, in my opinion, the best part of 5th Ave. Just steps away from some of the finest restaurants and shopping in all of Playa! And a very short walk to the wonderful beach. The condo itself is perfect. It's very spacious and beautifully decorated. And I can't say enough about the remarkable rooftop. Wow!!!! So beautiful and spacious. We spent so much time up there just relaxing with the Caribbean breeze and breathtaking sunsets! Everyone involved with our stay at Arena Blanca was amazing. The grounds are immaculately maintained and secure. Without a doubt, we will stay with Judy at Arena Blanca again soon!!!

Everything was accurate in the Airbnb posting. Guests were welcomed in person by staff but also given adequate privacy. 

Thanks for staying with us Jordan.  We hope you come back soon!
