About this property

Amazing Condo, Just Steps to the Beach and the famous 5th Ave!

150 mbps Fiber Optic Internet Speed!!! Fantastic for those working from home “in paradise “!

Our tastefully furnished condo has it all, two bedrooms, 2.5 baths, fully equipped kitchen, A/C in every room, easily sleeps 6 with a king size bed in the master suite, two full size beds in the guest bedroom, and even a full size sleeper sofa. For your comfort, all beds are equipped with Serta Memory Foam Mattresses and 500+ thread count sheets. There is a 42” LCD HDTV and Blue Ray DVD player in the master suite and a 50” 4K UHD TV and Blue Ray DVD player in the living room. Dish satellite and wireless fiber optic internet is provided at no cost to our guests. INTERNET SPEED JUST INCREASED TO 150 mbps!!! There is also a spacious terrace overlooking the lush gardens and beautiful swimming pool with a gas grill to cook your favorite meal. An extra treat is a pure water ice maker in the spacious refrigerator. Purchasing bagged ice is not necessary!

Every amenity has been included, such as the most luxurious pool in Playa, two huge whirlpool tubs, six in-pool lounging beds, equipped fitness center, game area with pool table and ping pong table. There is also a private parking space in the underground parking garage and elevators from the garage to all floors of the condo complex. Take a look at the pictures and I think you will agree. Better yet, come on down and experience the quality of vacation in paradise that you deserve.

Sabbia is located in the best neighborhood in Playa del Carmen and is close to everything: a short two minute walk to the famous 5th Avenue and another few minutes to the pristine waters of the Caribbean and the white sands of Mamitas Beach, restaurants to suit any taste, supermarkets, upscale stores, exciting tours, and the list goes on and on. Even though a private parking space is provided for you in the underground garage, a car is not necessary. You are within walking distance to everything!

The BEST news yet is there is now a fantastic brand new fully stocked super size grocery store located in the same block as the condo!!! This is the newest and nicest grocery store in Playa, so anything you need is just a few steps away.

Maximum occupancy for this condo is 6 persons, per Sabbia Condo Rules. Wrist bands will be provided upon entrance in the lobby.

Great property & location!
Our 3-person family trip to PDC was great thanks to this condo, its amenities, and its location. Everything we needed was within walking distance, even for a mobility-challenged senior citizen, but it was far enough away from Quinta Avenida to be a quiet and relaxing stay. Great communication with the owner & the property manager when our incoming flight was delayed nearly 3 hours.

Perfect location
We stayed for 10 nights. It was a very nice condo. We had a couple of small issues but it was felt with quickly. The property is located on the edge of the tourist area. Mad it easy to go to the local restaurant and stores while being able to enjoy the tourist are. Most things needed were within walking distance. The beach was only a few blocks away.

Great location
Tim was a pleasure to deal with. He had his property manager meet us at the property and go through everything answering all our questions. The condo was perfect for my husband and I and our adult kids. It had all the necessities you needed to be comfortable. Location was great. Everything was within walking distance. The pool area and common areas were great. Lots of owners around who were very nice. I highly recommend this condo.

Comfortable stay in Playa del Carmen
The condo is very spacious and clean with excellent TV and wifi. The living room ac unit is whisper quiet and will keep you cool all day. The building is very well managed and we had access to the pool, jacuzzi and gym the whole time we were there. The gym has a good multigym machine as well as a bench and dumbells up to 70lbs. We didn't use the treadmills as we did so much walking. The walk to Mega Soriana is under 10 minutes in the shade down 20th ave. The walk to 5th Avenue shops and restaurants is about the same. We felt safe and secure the whole time and all the residents at Sabbia were very friendly. Recommend highly.

Just Right!
The Jackson's condo is great! It is conveniently close to 5th ave and the day and nightlife, but just far enough to be away from the noise and constant activity. We never felt un-safe while walking in the area. Eduardo, property manager and super nice guy, met us at the condo when we first arrived and gave good overview of condo features (AC, water cooler, TV/DVD, washer/dryer, wifi, safe). He also quickly answered questions I emailed throughout the week. The furnishings, beds, and kitchen are very nice. The washer and dryer were a big plus - allowed us to travel much lighter! The Sabbia staff are super friendly, especially Alex at the front desk. He was very helpful regarding local activities and gave good insight about the many tours and excursions available. (Be prepared for MANY vendors on 5th wanting to provide activities!) MEGA supermarket is an easy walk (.5 miles) and Tom/Rita have provided reusable shopping bags which are a necessity. The number of restaurants within walking distance is ridiculous and everything we sampled was excellent! I recommend the grilled octopus at Chiltepin, right across the street from the condo. The beach is beautiful! Access is just a couple blocks beyond 5th ave. Tom and Rita just recently added a couple nice backpack style beach chairs to the condo inventory - they worked great for us! Since we were in PDC over Christmas and New Year, the beach was quite busy, but we always found a spot. When wanting to avoid the sand, the Sabbia pool area is a relaxing alternative. Overall, we had a wonderful trip to Playa del Carmen! Tom was a pleasure and obviously wanted to make sure our trip went smoothly. He provided good suggestions from restaurants to car rental to ATM access. I wouldn't hesitate to repeat this trip! Thank you!!

Another great stay!!
We just finished another great stay at Tom and Rita’s condo and we love it more every time we come. The condo is always very clean and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. The location is super safe and the perfect distance from the 5th Ave crowds. A short 5 minute walk has you right in the middle of great restaurants, shopping and the beach but the condo is always so quiet and peaceful at night. We can’t wait to come back!!

Great location and fantastic building staff
Really nice apartment. You can see that the owners take pride in keeping this place in very good shape. The booking, check in and check out was very smooth. The kitchen is very well stocked. I would add a tea kettle or an electric one. The building is closed to everything and you won’t find better staff in Playa that the one at Sabbia Condos. They will help you with anything that you may need. This is my second stay at this building and I am looking forward to come back.

Wonderful and relaxing time :)
The property is in great condition, very clean and well furnished. We enjoyed very much our stay, we were very comfortable and all our needs were met. There was some confusion when we first showed up but the manager came to the rescue and was very helpful and figured things out very quickly. Everything else went smoothly and everyone around were very helpful and kind. The location was perfect and we felt very safe. We loved our time in Playa del Carmen and we can't wait to come back. I will highly recommend this property for your vacation.

A Taste of Paradise
Just returned home (and back to snow) from the winter in Playa del Carmen. Our stay at Sabbia was another wonderful way to spend our time. The unit is very nice and fully stocked with everything you need to have a great holiday. The complex itself is save and clean as the workers are always ensuring the grounds are maintained very well. The staff is friendly and it's nice to return back to happy, familiar faces. We love our stay at Sabbia and thank Tom and Rita for proving us with such a nice place to call 'home' during the winter.

An absolutely awesome condo
My husband and I just recently stayed at this condo. We had the privilege of meeting the owners, Tom and Rita, and they are a very delightful couple and we were so impressed with them. Their condo is very tastefully decorated and a very comfortable condo to stay in and entertain. Their washer/dryer are absolutely awesome - the best. Everything about this condo is top notch. We have stayed at other condos in the area but this one tops all of them. The security at this building is great so you feel absolutely safe and the front desk staff is very helpful and friendly. 5th avenue is just around the corner and the condo is located close to any kind of activity you want to do. I would definitely recommend this condo and we want to stay there again in the future.

Great Property but do your research on beach conditions
We had a lovely stay at Sabbia and Tom and Rita were most accommodating to our needs. Their condo is very comfortable and clean and the pool area and game room were nice features. My problem was definitely not with the accommodations! My suggestion is to do your research on the beach conditions in the Playa del Carmen and Cancun areas before you go. The sargassum (seaweed) was so thick in some areas that it basically made the beach areas unusable. We spent a bit of time driving from beach to beach trying to find a good area to be! Many of the beautiful blue waters and white sandy beach pictures that you see online were unfortunately just not part of our experience! I think that the cities/government need to invest in beach clean up efforts to make Mexico a desirable vacation destination again. As travelers we have many tropical destination options--unfortunately we will think twice (and do our research!) before booking Playa del Carmen again.

Modern Condo In A Great Location
The condominium is located in a clean and secure neighborhood in a great location. The beach and 5th Avenue are easily within walking distance. The attendants at the front desk were friendly, informative, and spoke English typically at a conversational level. The apartment is very clean, modern, and well appointed. The beds were very comfortable. Everything needed for our stay was available. Two of the 3 air conditioning units worked well for our entire stay. The 2nd bedroom unit stopped working at the very end of our stay, but the unit in the living area had enough capacity to help cool both rooms. A number of restaurants were nearby. Chiltepin was good and very close. Our favorite restaurant, Nativo, was just a few blocks away. We would have given a 5 star rating, but the Wi-Fi in the apartment did not work during our entire stay. Although inconvenient, we were able to use the Wi-Fi in the business office and an adjacent apartment provide a weak signal that worked some of the time.

Relaxing ,secure, & beautiful accommodations!.
My husband Jim and I have nothing but good things to say about our stay at Sabbia Condo. We were delighted to find everything we needed at the condo to make us comfortable. We felt safe and the staff were always very friendly and helpful. It was awesome to be so close to all we were hoping to do. We loved 5th Avenue, the beach, wonderful restaurants, some within a block of the condo, also the pool was very clean and never crowded. We rented a car a couple of days to go deep-sea fishing, and to experience Tulum and to snorkel at Akumal. Rita and Tom definitely did their research when they purchased this property.

Wonderful condo in an ideal location.
We just returned from an absolutely ideal vacation in Playa del Carmen. This condo is so modern, clean, and well equipped. Fifth avenue is just steps away and the closest beach is breathtaking. The pool area was relaxing, and lots of fun for the kids. We really enjoyed the international mix of the other guests staying at the property. The condo itself is super clean, modern, and well appointed. We were able to prepare all of our meals which saved us a significant amount of money. The condo had an ample amount of towels and having the washer and dryer was wonderful. The underground parking was a definite plus. The staff was very friendly and helpful as was the property management company. The check in and check out process was extremely smooth. I could go on and on. You cannot go wrong with this property. Staying here made this vacation as perfect as it could have been. Thanks so much Tom and Rita.....I wish that we would have stayed the whole month. Saludos and thank you (-:

Absolutely Perfect!
Wow, where do I start? This place is amazing! Everything is brand new and isn't like most places I've stayed with cheap furniture and outdated pictures. Everything is even better than advertised with this place. All of the furniture was super nice and comfortable and the beds were better than my bed at home. The owners have thought of everything. The kitchen is well stocked. There is a great Webber grill on the back patio for grilling fresh fish or a nice steak. There were even maps that we referred to every day from MapChick that told us a ton of great suggestions for places to eat. Speaking of food, we found several great places to eat within just a few steps of the condo, including our favorite place right across the street. Walking to the beach everyday was a breeze and we always felt safe wherever we went. There were a couple of afternoons that we decided to just hang out by the pool and I'm convinced this place has one of the nicest pools in Playa. There are 6 sunbeds in the pool along with a shallow play area for kids. It was kind of fun meeting people from several different countries while at the pool and everyone was so nice. We also liked the security of having the doorman at the condo and I haven't really seen that anywhere else I have been in Mexico. We will definitely be booking a return trip and can't wait to get back.

Perfect Oasis!
Our stay at the Sabbia Condo was absolutely perfect! The condo is clean & comfortable with a great modern feel. The kitchen has everything you're looking for, the living room is perfect for lounging around, and the beds are so comfortable they make it hard to get out! The grounds were well kept & secure. The pool was an oasis! We lounged at the pool for hours almost every day. It was a real escape from every day life. At night it was an easy short walk to 5th Avenue where there was all the shopping, dining, & tourist attractions you could hope for. There are lots of great local restaurants even closer, including a great local restaurant right accross the street from Sabbia with a bar and pool to lounge in if you're looking for a change of scenery. The beach is literally just a few blocks away. This condo had everything we could have asked for & we would definitely go back!

About the host

Hosted by Tom and Rita Jackson

Host profile image
Rita and I are retired and live in a small town close to Austin, Texas. We adore each other and have been married over 50 years. We have two great son's and are a very close family. Our son's also live and work in the Austin area, which makes it easy to keep in close touch. We are very laid back and love to travel and enjoy exploring all of God's beautiful creations. We also love to play golf together and try to hit the course two to three times a week. We absolutely love playing golf at the Hard Rock Golf Course located in Playacar, just a short taxi ride away.

We love visiting in our condo and sincerely hope you achieve as much pleasure as we do. We truly want you to be completely satisfied and will do everything we can to make sure you are.

Why they chose this property

When Rita and I decided to purchase a condo to vacation in we traveled all over the Caribbean and West Coast searching for the perfect location. After traveling to Jamaica, Panama, Grand Cayman, and even Acapulco, we kept coming back to Playa. It had absolutely everything we were looking for. It is safe, easy to access, and stunningly beautiful. The next step was to locate the perfect condo, and we did. After looking all over Playa we discovered the Sabbia Condo Complex and immediately knew our search was over. It has everything we were looking for, and more.

What makes this property unique

Sabbia Condo's are located in the perfect spot . . . within walking distance to everything . . . the best beaches, 5th Avenue for the exciting night life, boutique shops, and a multitude of restaurants. It has private parking in the underground parking garage with four elevators serving all floors, including the parking garage (rarely found in Playa). Sabbia has 24 hour security and one of the most beautiful pools in all of Playa. The staff is first rate and always friendly, going out of their way to help you in any way they can. Give us a try, we are confident you will be glad you did.
