The condo was a great value for the dollar and the pool was wonderful. Transportation is not a simple task. Although the owners gave us a valuable and detailed notebook of stores and locations, what to see, how to order water, transportation changes the inDrive that was suggested did not work and the condo is not close to downtown. Walking cool weather great, humid weather not enjoyable cab rides become expensive. You can ride bikes.

Thank-you for the review and we are so happy that you found our Welcome Binder full of detailed and helpful information. I’m so sad that you were unable to figure out the new transportation App (InDrive) that everyone in town is now using to save on taxi rides. I wish you had reached out to us and asked for help with it. As detailed in our description, our condo is not in the bustling downtown area, instead it’s in a gated, private community within a 2–3 minute walk to restaurants and a short, 10 minute walk to the infamous 5th Avenue and the beach areas.

Perfect relaxing location

This property suited us perfectly as we wanted a quiet location but with the ability to relax by a pool or explore the beach. Good restaurants close by and an excellent spot to explore 5th Avenue when needed. The owners provided so much useful information and there was everything needed in the condo to make the stay so easy. Thank you. We wouldn't hesitate to come again.

Peaceful Oasis

This property was beautifully situated for us, in a gated community, away from the very busy tourist area of Playa Del Carmen, yet within 10 minutes walk. We had everything we needed in our unit, a delightful view over the golf course, and a beautiful pool to enjoy. Wish we had booked a longer trip! There are so many things to do in this area if required, and the weather is perfect at this time of year (February). A great winter escape.

Beautiful condo, great location

Mark and Laurie's Playa home is beautiful as shown and very well equipped with everything we needed for our 4 week stay. The location is perfect in the gated Playacar cummunity but still close walking to shopping and restaurants in town. The 3rd floor condo catches a nice breeze flowing through and we enjoyed the birds always in the tree in front of the balcony. Neighbors in the small development were very welcoming and their knowledge of the area helps a lot. We hope to return again!

A hidden gem

Great communications with the owners and helpful throughout the stay/ The apartment was absolutely as described and pictured and was exactly the place we needed to chill in after a day exploring the various attractions in Quintana Roo State. Very homely and immediately relaxing but better equipped than pretty much all the other rentals we have had over the years. Nice neighbours and superb location. Lots of walkable attractions and near enough to the main highway to make more distant trips much easier. At the same time we had almost perfect silence broken only by the birdsong. The balcony is the place to be for an end of the day glass of wine and a game of cards. We Loved It!

Perfect location: it is close to everything. At the same time it is very quite here. Laurie (the owner) and Laura (the manager) do make you feel like home. They both answered about a million of my questions :) Laura gave us priceless advices how to get around. We feel like we became almost local :) We used Colectivo vans to get around and like it a lot. Those Colectivo saved us a lot of money as well. Thanks a lot, Laurie, for sharing your great apartment!

Laurie and Mark were simply amazing! Any little glitch they helped fix. The apartment was amazing, clean, quiet locate and safe. The pool was fantastic. The white binder Laurie put together is so helpful. I wasn’t impressed with the management company but saying that Laurie and Mark more than made up for it. Making sure we were well looked after.

More beautiful than the pictures.

The unit is even more beautiful than the pictures. There is no better place to drink your fresh ground morning coffee than the balcony looking out over the swimming pool and the lush golf course. I have stayed in all inclusive hotels in Playacar before; but being this close to all the great (and inexpensive) restaurants of downtown Playa Del Carmen was a gourmet treat. I wasn't sure how my four-year-old granddaughter Julia would handle a Mexican vacation; but between the swimming pool, the beaches, and Xcaret, she was in wonderland (that's what she called the walk through the jungle/Mayan ruins to the beach). Ultimately, we had to promise her that we would come back to her "Mexico house" before we could get her to come back home to the US with us.

Relaxing vacation

The condo was very relaxing and provided everything we needed during our stay. We did not use the pool but it was lovely to look at while sitting on the balcony watching the birds. The location is optimal for walking to the beach, shopping or to dine. A couple of days we had rain showers and umbrellas were available to use as well as beach bags. Really the only thing we needed that was not provided were our clothes. Condo is very clean and tastefully decorated. The notebook provided was so useful when choosing a place to eat or something to do.. we even ordered in using instructions in the info book. We are so thankful to Laurie and Mark for sharing their home with us and definitely highly recommend vacationing there if you are looking for a stress free vacation.

Condo in Paradise

This condo was perfect for our family of 4. The condo is beautifully decorated with a blend of modern amenities and local charm. The bathrooms are large, the beds were comfortable, and the balcony overlooked the pool, as well as the gorgeous gardens with the golf course beyond. The pool was huge, with a bathroom and outdoor shower. We loved seeing so much of the local wildlife. The birds were everywhere around our unit, as well as aguti's, coati mundis, lizards and iguanas.Laurie and Mark have literally thought of EVERYTHING you might need, and provide a binder of fabulous information to make your vacation here in paradise PERFECT. We even found a tabletop Christmas tree to decorate with our kids for our Christmas away from home. The kids enjoyed the DVD collection and games when we had some rainy weather.Perfect location, perfectly safe, and close to loads of amazing shops and restaurants. Can't wait to come back.

Summarizing condo only, I was very please with it. Comfortable, roomy, nice bed, great kitchen.

Avoided cold weather....weather in Playa was fabulous! Property was very nice. Kitchen was well equipped (big priority for me). Pool was lovely but really too cold to use because of chilly nights. We were on 3rd floor and stairs were a real problem for 3 seniors. We were really too far from town and had to walk everywhere. Not a problem for younger vacationers but between stairs and long walk to town, it was difficult. We had a car but traffic so horrible we couldn't really drive into town and finding parking space impossible! Younger, more mobile renters will love this property..

Lyn, I am so glad that you enjoyed the condo. I don't believe that we have ever had three guests in their 70's staying in our home, but I can understand that you would not enjoy two flights of stairs - it's unfortunate that you could not find a first floor unit for your trip. I am surprised that you felt that it was long walk to town, as our other guests LOVE our location, and even mention it in their reviews as one of their favorite things about the condo! It's just an 8 minute walk to 5th Avenue so we never advise guests to rent cars in Playa. Taxi's are plentiful and easy to use in town, if needed, and rental cars are only helpful if you are leaving the city to explore the areas outside of town. Thank you for staying with us and for the nice compliments!

A true gem in Playa del Carmen

We consider ourselves very lucky to have found Mark and Laurie's beautiful refuge for our long-overdue family vacation. With young children (two girls, 10 and 7), it was truly nice to have something within walking distance of the restaurants, downtown, beach and bus -- just quick enough to not wear out young ones. The pool on the property is spacious but with less people using it, it becomes very easy to enjoy the quiet, peaceful life -- and it is such an excellent thing to have around when the sargassum gets too thick at the beach (as it frequently does in the Caribbean.)We've already discussed wanting to return. Incredible property, very clean, great friendliness of the hosts and very intuitive and ample instructions on items you might like to do, or how to navigate life in PdC. The condo is immaculate and tastefully decorated, giving a relaxing, peaceful vibe that tends to make everything better. A gem! Thank you for our time there, it really gave us such a nice boost. Our girls loved it as well. All the best to you both.

Perfect alternative to a big resort!

We had the perfect week for our first visit to Mexico! The condo was as beautiful as pictured and was exactly what our family of 4 needed. Mikaela (the rental property manager) met us as we arrived and gave us a tour of the place with basic instructions - very helpful! The kids loved the pool (even more than the beach - only a 10 minute walk) and spent hours swimming and playing there. The condo backs up to a golf course, and my husband spent many hours on the covered porch just enjoying the peace and quiet! Walking to 5th avenue was extremely easy and only a 5 minute walk. The conceirge service was an unexpected perk! Maura was absolutely a gem with lots of great ideas for us, she helped us plan several of our activies, and suggested some wonderful local restaurants - to give us the full Mexican experience. Dona Mary on 28 and 30, El Fagon, Delicio bakery (breakfast/lunch) to name a few! Laurie and Mark have a binder of information that was extremely helpful with ideas for food and activies. We took an Alltournative tour to Tulum, jungle ziplining, and swimming in a cenote, which we would highly recommend, that was a highlight for us. We also parasailed and snorkeled. The snorkeling was an activity we set up on our own, and it wasn't our best experience. I would recommend using the conceirge service to set up the tours/activities. We did that for the Tulum tour and the parasailing, and those were much better activies for us! I am sure if we had used Maura to set up the snorkeling, we would have had a much better experience!! We certainly will be back. Our kids are 8 and 13 now, and in a few years will be able to use bikes to get around a little more (two are included for use with the condo). We can't wait!! Thanks Laurie and Mark for such a wonderful first experience visiting Mexico!!

Great Family Vacation Spot

We had a fantastic family vacation in Laurie and Mark's condo! We were there 8 great days. Since we are from the same city, Laurie personaly met with us and gave us tons of tips for getting around Playa and the surrounding areas. We traveled with our two daughters ages 10 and 14. They loved it! The condo is very pretty and had such nice amenities. Laurie's recomendation that we go down to Akumal to swim with the turtles was great as we ended up going there twice. We also loved walking into to Playa each night and seeing all the people on 5th Ave. The beaches are so beautiful and just seem to go on with out ever stopping. We chose to swim with the Dolphins while there as well and this was one the best experiences any of us has ever had. (Be prepared to pay dearly for the dolphin pics though as you can't bring in a camera) Our other big adventure was heading down to see Mayan ruins at Tulum. We splurged for the private tour guide and were so glad we did. Otherwise, we would have just seen it and not learned the planning and history behind the ruins. Upon arriving I made my first mistake and didn't listen to Laurie's advice about taking a cab from the bus station because we were traveling with children. Trying to haul all our luggage without knowing where we were going in the summer heat was not our best move. I listened to all of Laurie's advice from that point forward and things went much better lol. The collectivos she mentioned were very handy and a cheap way to travel. Our girls weren't too fond of them but but we loved how much cheaper it was and let us experience more of the local flavor. Laurie and Mark's restaurant recommendations were very accurate and much appreciated. We often ate breakfast at the condo, packed a lunch and then ate out for dinner. We also had the unusual experience to watch the summer Olympics on Mexican TV in spanish. We never knew that archery was such a big sport in Mexico! It was great to go back to the condo after a great dinner and watch the Olympics before bed. When we go back to Playa Del Carmen this is where we will be staying again!

Thank you for your positive comments about the cleanliness and how well stocked the condo was, and that you would return again in the future. Regarding the “no cleaning services during our stay” comment, the instructions are very clear in the arrival instructions that guests need to schedule which day of the week they would like for the house keepers to perform the cleaning. There may have been a breakdown in languages that prevented you from reading the arrival instructions accurately? Thank-you again for your stay!

Laurie was our co-pilot

We were a bit nervous traveling due to Covid, plus arriving to a part of the Country we knew little about. Laurie answered all of my (countless) questions prior to our arrival, during our stay and even after we had checked out -"Let's email Laurie!" became our mantra. The minute we walked into the condo any concerns we had just disappeared. It was like coming home - except with tropical birds, turquoise blue waters, tropical winds, a pristine swimming pool and a secluded balcony overlooking it all. Every one of our wants and needs were taken care of and without the noise and hustle bustle of the big hotels. We were far enough away from the crowds to enjoy the quiet peace of the natural world (important to us), yet close enough to partake of everything Playa has to offer. Restaurants, Tulum, Chitzen Itza, Akumal, Playa Azul, Cenotes and of course, the beach. To have such a wonderful home base, an experienced and genuinely kind-hearted host to talk us through everything (including locking myself out of the safe!), meant the world to us. We thought this was a once in lifetime trip, but now, gosh. If we can pull this off again...
