The house was everything as advertised and the location is close to beach, ferry and town. We had them do some shopping for us before we arrived so we could relax for the first few days-it made our first days easier. The owner, and the people keeping property clean were lovely to deal with. The security gate and personnel made us feel very safe. Highly recommend this property for a memorable vacation.
Pauline’s recommendation of a restaurant gave us a royal welcome.

This was the perfect stay for our group of three families. Having our own pool was amazing. The beach was a short 2 minute walk away and the main drag with shops and restaurants was a short 7 minute walk away. This was a perfect place for exploring Playa Del Carmen and we loved our stay. Just a word of caution for those with mobility issues, it is a full 3 stories, so sleeping on the top floor was a good leg workout. There are so many lovely spaces in this house and we fully used all of them. Would recommend 100%.

Pauline was communicative, kind, and accommodating. The house caretaker, Sergio, was also wonderful. He greeted us at the house, showed us how everything worked, and even put us in touch with a shuttle, a chef, and a photographer. The home is literally a two-block walk to a beautiful beach. Pauline provided a crib, a highchair, and a pack & play for our grandsons. There was ample room for all eight of us. A giant screen TV in the 2nd floor living room had TV to watch the football games, and streaming services for movies, etc. It is a 10 minute walk to downtown PDC, and the ferry to Cozumel. We would definitely stay here again.

Douglas and his family were awesome guests, we had great contact, it was a pleasure to host them! They knew how to take great care of other people’s property. They were respectful and quiet. I would most certainly host them again and similarly would recommend them to other hosts.

From the moment we booked our vacation house, the process was extremely smooth.

Amazing stay!

The place was an amazing experience, Pauline was attentive to every need we had. I would easily give it more than five stars if I could. The place was clean, spacious, and had a great feel about it. The beach was so close and 5th Avenida was not too far but far enough to avoid the noise. I’d love to stay here next time we come to Playa del Carmen.

Beautiful home and close to the beach!

Loved our stay! The home is beautiful, perfect space for 8 of us that traveled to Playa for the first time! Laura prepared a wonderful meal for us upon arrival and everyone went out of their way to help my son celebrate his birthday, surprising him with balloons and a cake!

My Family and I Loved this location. Minutes walk from the beach and market place on 5th Ave. The Villa had everything we needed. Very Clean. Sergio and his Mother were great. We had Sergio's mother prepare our meal on the day of arrival, an it was exactly what we wanted, we also had leftovers for 3 day which was a plus. Great location for us! Sorry we didn't have time to stay longer than the week we were there!

Impressive !!!!!!!!

This place was FANTASTIC! To start, I can't say enough about the host Pauline! She was always there before my trips to answer questions and arrange transport from the Cancun airport. The house was amazing! Plenty of room to roam around and plenty of separate space so you didn't feel on top of each other. The area was secure and close to walk to grab a cab or just cruise down the beach. My friends and I thouroughly enjoyed our stay there for my 40th bday trip. I highly recommend the villa!

Fantastic stay and fantastic host

Pauline is an incredible host! She made our stay wonderful and was extremely helpful. In addition to quick and helpful communication, she helped us arrange shuttle ride to and from the airport and connected us with a driver who could take us to and from the wedding we were attending. The local property manager, Sergio, was also very helpful. We were able to hire his mother to cook a dinner for us one night--the dinner was excellent. The property was just as described. Safe and clean neighborhood with security staff + very close to the beach. I highly recommend staying at Pauline's residence in Playa!

We had such a great time at Casa Palmas right from the start ! It was a beautiful house with lots of room. Sergio took such good care of us and was really responsive to our needs. The walk to 5th Avenue was minimal and there were even ruins to see on the way. Also, Pauline made sure that all of our arrangements were in place before our arrival.

Beautiful, beautiful staff!

We took our family (6 grandsons and 6 adults) to Playa Del Carmen for 11 days! The home was beautifully decorated and had many conveniences for all of us to enjoy meals in. We were 2 minutes to the beach and 10 minutes from downtown so days were spent on the beach and at night we walked into town for street entertainment and dinners. Sergio hooked us up with our favorite driver Remero! He offered suggestions for our day trips and the kids loved honing their Spanish with him. Casa Palmas was amazing and Pauline made the trip fun for all of us. Thanks to all for giving our family a magical vacation!

Pretty House

Pauline offers a nice 3 story house with a plunge pool out front. There are also nice terraces upstairs to enjoy the sun. Sergio is helpful and his mom makes some wonderful dinners. The beach was pretty but we had the bad luck that nobody can predict of seaweed washing up on the beach. The beach is quite close. There is plenty of room for families and 2 kitchens. We did hear some distant construction work the first 2 mornings of our visit but in short order I am sure the team will move along.

Perfect, spacious, near the beach, fully equipped

All 7 of us considered it amazing. It was perfectly located 2 short blocks from the beach, but also had a great little pool out front where we spent half our time. Roof top patio, multiple floors, multiple balconies meant that everyone could find some away space. The best part was that it was fully equipped. There were all the beach chairs, umbrellas that we needed, and a cooler. Two bicycles with a bike lock and key were perfect for a quick ride into town for groceries. This is the second time we've been to Playacar, and the next time, we will book here; I'm sure we wouldn't find a better place. Had lots of quick response communication with both the owner and Sergio, the on-site property manager, who passed by several times.

Beautiful house and pool!!

We loved the house and pool!! Sergio was so kind and accommodating. The only issue was the algae bloom had impacted this beach so we were unable to enjoy the ocean. It would have been nice to have known in advance before we went to the market and bought lots of groceries ... and before booking 3 different sets of family members to ride in from Cancun airport. We had to cut our time at the house short and rebook in a different area.

Hi Kari, thank you for your review. I’m happy you had a great experience with Sergio and thank you for complementing our home. I'm very sorry you had seaweed while you were in Playa. Sargasso cannot be predicted, it's like the weather, it comes and goes some days there's a lot, some days very little and some days there is none. It all depends on the currents that day. The navy is working hard to find a solution and they are finally making headways, we are seeing clear water again for longer periods of time. I really wish you had reached out so Sergio and I could have referred you to alternate beaches nearby without having to uproot yourselves. Hopefully you will be back to give our beautiful beach a 2nd chance.

Family Holiday Getaway

What a beautiful gem just steps from the ocean! The house is so lovely - 4 outdoor seating areas - pool - ocean just down the block. There was some construction going on behind the house so we couldn't use the roof seating area during working hours, but that didn't dampen our enthusiasm for a wonderful stay at this location. The neighborhood is so beautiful and we walked it every day - spent time at the beach every day, including enjoying some fabulous sunrises - also enjoyed the bird sanctuary. Our host and property manager were the best! They arranged all travel for us and also arranged for Laura to cook 2 meals for us - what a bonus that is! Those meals were fantastic! Everyone so helpful and delightful. Would highly recommend this property.
