Wonderful Beach Home for a Family Vacation
We had an amazing time staying at the property. The home is on a second row from the beach so only 1-2 minutes walk to the wonderful warm water beach. The host was very communicative and made sure any of our needs/asks were addressed. Would certainly recommend.

Next Level Experience
Our experience staying at Casa Amigos set the bar future vacations for our family. The house was in a quiet part of a highly secure and charming neighborhood close to everything we wanted to see and do. The home itself was the perfect size for our family of five and exactly as pictured in the listing. Everything was impeccably clean, the bedrooms were comfortable and it was great to have a bathroom for every bedroom. The second level of this home is solely dedicated to a master suite and wrap-around outdoor living area that was the perfect getaway for the adults in our party. We had our morning coffee on the covered patio area while we enjoyed listening to the ocean and wildlife. We love to cook and found the kitchen well-stocked for this purpose. The living areas were nicely appointed and comfortable. Our favorite spot, however, is the pool and patio area at the front of the home. We all spent countless hours lounging poolside and cooling off. The kids played in the pool well into the evenings every night. The property was meticulously maintained while we were there, though the staff was not in any way intrusive. The pool was always clean and housekeeping came on Wednesday to clean, change sheets & towels and freshen things up while we were out exploring downtown Playa. It's a quick walk to the beach (less than 2 minutes), which we also enjoyed. The gem of this place, however, are the house managers, Tara and Luis. From the moment we booked to the moment we left, Tara and Luis worked to make sure our stay was truly memorable. We used their grocery service and had amazing communication from Tara about the items we requested, suggestions on quantities (more Jalapenos!) and alternate selections when the things we requested were not available. Everything was organized and ready for us in the kitchen when we arrived and we could not have been more pleased. Tara also helped us schedule a van and driver for the day to take us to Tulum to see the Mayan Ruins and to explore local cenotes. The day trip became the highlight of our vacation and our guide, Tony, was fantastic. We truly cannot say enough about our experience with Tara, Luis and Casa Amigos. If we don't take all of our future vacations at Casa Amigos, we will certainly measure every future trip against this one. Thank you, Richard and Cyndi, for sharing your lovely home with us. And a BIG thank you to Tara and Luis for their warm and welcoming hospitality.

Perfect location and house for our girls weekend away
I can’t say enough about this wonderful property. The location was absolutely perfect- close to the beach and town and tucked away on the cutest little street. Tara the property manager was in contact with me throughout the entire booking process and set up a car to take us to and from the airport, Stocked the house with groceries for us, and walked us through the whole house when we got there. The house had everything we needed- towels, beach chairs, beach bags, air conditioners in each bedroom, and all the dishes and utensils needed for cooking. Everything was super clean and tidy and we loved all of the big windows and natural light! We all agreed this was the best experience we’ve ever had at a vacation rental! Thank you so much for letting us use your beautiful home!

Nice and quiet
Everything was perfect from the first day. This house is very well equipped and well stocked, pack light. You will not need anything other than food and drinks once you arrive. The owner and property manager were very flexible with any of our needs. They were always in contact when we had a question, and the property managers Luis and Tara were very polite and informative. The property exterior was well kept every day while we were there, and the neighborhood was very clean and quiet, the pool was perfectly clean. The beach is only a minute walk away and supermarkets are only a few minutes (Sams Club and Chedraui). I recommend using Amazon to have all of your food (and drinks!) delivered, it is cheaper and quicker, get prime Mexico for $5. The rooftop patio front and rear were very nice, the rear patio is especially nice for relaxing in the evening, no mosquitos or critters at all. The grill is outside on the second level patio, lots of room for grilling and sipping cocktails in the evening. You don't need a car once you get to the property, 5th avenue and the ferry to Cozumel is only a few minute walk. Treat yourself to a free visit to the Fives Rooftop pool (Hilton open to public) for the all you can eat buffet (about $30 usd for brunch), or just relaxing in the pool and cocktails, about a 10 minute walk. Thank you for the wonderful Christmas and New Year 2022!! We will definitely stay here again! ~Tamara and Mike

Beautiful Beach House/Relaxing Vacation!
We are a family of 4 adults and were looking for a completely relaxing vacation. We found it at Casa Amigos de Corazon! What did we like about the HOUSE? The OCEAN VIEW! The SPACIOUSNESS! The POOL! The upstairs OPEN AIR OUTDOOR AREA! The NEIGHBORHOOD! The SECURITY! Able to WALK to TOWN! Easy to GRAB a TAXI at resort next door! Access to a WASHER & DRYER! Those are just a few of our favorite things! The TRUE GEMS of Casa Amigos de Corazon are TARA & LUIZ, the property managers! They were friendly, informative and fun to be around!! They had INCREDIBLE restaurant recommendations! They set us up on a FANTASTIC snorkeling excursion in Cozumel! They set us up with Marianna & Arturo, FANTASTIC CHEFS! They offer a grocery service so your house can be stocked with groceries when you arrive! They attentively answered each and every question we had! One of the things I noticed as we walked the neighborhood, which you should do to see all the cool houses, was that Casa de Amigos de Corazon is unique in that it truly has a BEAUTIFUL beach view. There were many homes available for rent, but very few that offered an unobstructed view of the ocean as well as a 20-30 second walk to the ocean, barefooted!! The home is situated on a dead-end street with no traffic except the security personnel that drive by constantly. Unless of course you hire the Chefs recommended by Tara & Luis! They park there to come in and treat you to an amazing culinary experience! We had them prepare 2 dinners and 1 lunch for us. It was such a treat! They even made a special Dos Leche birthday cake for my husband’s birthday at no additional cost! YUMMY!! All of us noticed that the people of Playa del Carmen are thoughtful, kind, & friendly. It was such a pleasure to interact with and learn about them. We left relaxed and so sad to leave! Seriously, book this place and start packing!

Great location
My friends and I recently stayed at Casa Amigos to celebrate my birthday and I couldn't ask for a better vacation. The house is located in a private gated subdivision which includes a mixture of residential homes, condo's and other rental properties, and is at the end of the street which lends for more privacy. Although it is not directly "on" the beach, it is only a few steps away and has an unobstructed view of the beautiful white sandy beach and turquoise waters. The pool was also nice to relax by. There were 3BR's on the 1st floor and the master suite on the 2nd which included a wrap around patio complete with bbq grill and patio furniture. The kitchen was well equipped with fridge, stove, microwave, and other necessities which allowed us to prepare breakfast and lunches. There was even a welcoming basket of fruits & vegetables. There was also an abundance of beach towels and extra linens. The house was clean and spacious. Tara & Luis were absolutely AMAZING! From the time we booked the house until the day we left, they were there to meet our every need. Unfortunately we had some issues with 1 of the a/c units, but Tara & Luis rushed over each time to help resolve it. I strongly suggest purchasing the insurance for any incidentals as we ended up using it to cover a pool chair that broke when my dear friend casually sat on it while waiting to go to dinner. The one negative for our group, which may not be a problem for others, is that we were constantly worrying about going over the allotted 100KW of electricity. Although we understand conservation, it was hard to always be mindful to turn a/c's on&off especially in warmer temperatures. On the last full day of our trip, we were forced to stay inside the house majority of the day because there were trucks loading dozens of bags of sargasso/seaweed from the locals cleaning the beach and the smell was absolutely unbearable. We even asked the hotel next door if they could kindly wash off the liquid remnants from the street. It was terrible and so that day we couldn't even open windows/doors and had to run the a/c. Besides that, I strongly suggest booking this house for your next vacation. You will love it and Tara & Luis were outstanding and attentive every step of the way. Forgot to mention, security passed by every hour if not more to make sure everything was in order & safe. I will definitely contact them for any future trips to that area. Thank you for making my birthday a memorable one

We can't say enough about Amigos de Corazon!!!
We can't say enough about Amigos de Corazon. Our experience from working with the owners and their property managers Tara & Louis were second to none. We have rented vacation properties multiple time and have never experienced service like this. We were a party of 9 ( 6 adults 3 teenagers) the Casa had plenty of room for all of us. It's a great location and we always felt safe. The security guards go by on a regular basis day and night, The rooftop terrace was a added bonus with the bbq and view. We had a few issues but they were taken care of immediately. Tara and Louis were always available to answer any questions and stopped by on a regular basis to make sure everything was ok. We highly recommend vacationing at Casa Amigos de Corazon and hope to return in the very near future.

Wonderful home, location and managers
The home is beautiful, exactly the way it is in the pictures. Great location, quiet and with an open stretch of beach right in front. There are many beautiful details throughout the home. The managers, Tara and Luis, are fantastic. They are ready to help with any problem. Our TV did not work and they immediately came to fix it. Their suggestions for food, activitites and transport were always perfect. We had a fabulous time. There were eight of us, 4 couples, and the house was perfect. Enough private and common areas for all. Thank you!

Great family reunion on the beach
Great beach house, exactly as pictured and described. Very responsive management team, proactive and always helpful. We were 8 adults and one eight-year old grandchild, the house was perfectly equipped for all. The refrigerator never worked well, despite management's quick intervention. It was never able to make ice. Needs major maintenance or replacement. Water tap screens should be cleaned before rentals to ensure good water flow in the high water calcium environment. Finally, we would rent the house again. Thanks for providing us a place for a wonderful family reunion.

Amazing!
This place is a gem. The house has a wide open view to the ocean and beach with a quiet dead-end road in front. We had 9 people, including 3 children ages 7 and under and house was perfect, very clean and well maintained with lots of space. It has a well-equipped kitchen and other items such as pack 'n play, pool chairs, beach toys and beach towels. We spent most of our time in the pool or on the beach, but loved that we could walk into town for some shopping or extra groceries. And the managers, Tara and Luis, were so helpful both before we got there and after we arrived, checking in regularly to see if all was well. We pre-ordered groceries through them so when we arrived with little kids we had essentials. Also we had incredible, delicious chef-prepared dinners on several nights with Mariana and Arturo (onsitepersonalchef), which Tara had recommended and which we highly recommend! The security team in the community are very visible and drive through the cul-de-sac almost every half hour. There are snorkeling excursion boats down the beach which we used also. Just perfect place for our family vacation. Thanks to the owner and managers and chefs for making it so great.

Outstanding home and service!
I'm picky, but not into perfection. I didn't look for things to complain about, but I also never found any. The location and beach are wonderful. You can catch a cab next door easily, if you don't want to walk into the center of Playa. I spent about 2 minutes in the living room, it was nice, but outside on the patio and pool area are heavenly. Each bedroom was roomy and comfortable. Kitchen seemed very nice, although we didn't do much cooking outside of some eggs in the late mornings. The extras that made it a place I want to revisit: welcome basket with bread and some fruit, nice big stack of good beach towels & a ton of sunscreen products, every thing you might need to really hang out on the beach, the outstanding view and sound of the surf. The manager was stellar! She checked in on us & made me feel like if there had been any kind of problem, she & her husband would have done everything they could to fix it. You do NOT find that everywhere, so it was a bonus and gave us an added layer of relaxation. Hope to rent again in the future!

Perfection in Paradise
I and 8 of my friends spent a week at Casa Amigos and had the time of our lives. Everything was near perfect. Tara was especially attentive to our every need, going out of her way to ensure we felt at home. The house is amazing and perfect for an intimate group of friends. 8 is the perfect number of guests. I wouldnt advise more than 8 guests unless at least a few are children. The bedrooms are all comfy and roomy. The kitchen is perfect for cooking in. We splurged and invited a chef in for a few meals which was both delicious and luxurious. They shop, cook and clean. So wonderful. Just steps from the beach, we couldnt have been more pleased with our morning dives in the crystal clear water and evening walks. Skydivers land right in front of the house on the beach which is cool to watch. . Town is about a 15 minute walk from the house, though we spent most of our time enjoying the house. We had some issues with the AC's which were resolved completely and promptly. I don't have a single complaint about our stay. If you're thinking about renting Casa Amigos, go ahead and pull the trigger.

Fabulous vacation house!
The vacation rental is wonderful! It is in a great location within walking distance from many restaurants and shops. It was great to have a pool and the ocean a few steps away. If you have a rental car, it is also easy to visit other nearby towns. We visited Tulum, Akumal, Puerto Morelos, and Cozumel, which are all fantastic places. Really cool snorkeling is Akumal. Thanks for keeping a nice clean, well maintained house for guests.

AMAZING!!! This home has it all!
Fabulous home, location and service. The home was perfect for our family of 9 (6 adults/3 kids). Well-maintained with common space to share and plenty of privacy for a break. The pool, beach and ocean could not have been more perfect. And it was a nice walk into town (or the resort next door made it easy to grab a cab) if you wanted to be part of the action. Security personnel from the neighborhood were professional and on frequent patrol. Local house manager (Tara) was so responsive and helpful - arranging grocery delivery and transportation and providing lots of other helpful recommendations. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. Cannot wait to plan a return trip!

Most amazing vacation possible! IF you love the beach, sun, and perfect accommodations, THIS IS IT!!
Tara and Luis are the managers for this property. They can help you arrange EVERYTHING! From being picked up in an air conditioned van (we had 9 people) to buying the food for the house, to planning our tours, to helping us find a fishing boat where we caught 22 mackerel, you just can't beat their help. NEXT, the house is just AMAZING! You are right on the beach, air conditioning in EVERY room for each persons desired temperature. We used the kitchen almost every day, fully stocked with all the utensils one would need! The location of this property is perfect for everyone. The totally professional security on the property is quiet yet very protective and professional. We had total of 9 people like I said, and that was perfect for the size of the house. PERFECT PLACE TO VACATION!!!
