About this property

1 min walk to beach, ocean views, Mayan ruins, private pool— paradise awaits!

Experience the charm of coastal living at Casa Amigos de Corazón, a serene and quiet retreat in the exclusive gated community of Playacar Fase 1 with proximity to shopping and tourist attractions. This elegant two story home with a private front yard pool features stunning ocean views, vibrant Mexican folk art, and a peaceful ambiance. It blends tradition, comfort, and style just steps from the beach and historic Mayan ruins. A 20-minute walk leads to Quinta Avenida, Playa del Carmen’s lively strip, Ferry to Cozumel, and a 17-minute drive from Xcaret. It is the perfect central location to experience the beauty and culture of the Riviera Maya.

1. How far is Quinta Avenida?

Our home is tucked away from all the hustle and bustle of Quinta Avenida. To make your way to the exciting strip from our home, you walk (20 min or 7. min. drive) through the cobblestoned lined streets, passing Mayan ruins to make your way to El Paseo del Carmen, a "cosmopolitan" shopping mall with a Starbucks, Zara, Oakley, Old Navy, Sunglasses Hut, Carl's Jr., Pandora and many more. Connected to this mall is La Quinta Avenida, a short five min walk through the mall gets you to the strip and the famous "Fundadores Park," which is also connected to the ferry port to go to the island of Cozumel. In short, our home is surrounded by all the essentials.

If you are driving, there is a public paid parking lot on 10 Ave. Sur and C. 3 Sur. near the entrance of the Playcar Fase 1 entrance. If this parking lot gets full, there is another directly behind this parking lot on 15 Avenida Sur. and C. 3 Sur.

It is not rare for the parking lot to get full, street parking is always an option but you must pay to park.

We recommend getting a taxi to get to Paseo Del Carmen, which is connected to Quinta Avenida. The parking is not worth the headache!

2. How far is X-Caret?

X-Caret is an "ecotourism" theme park along a part of the Quintana Roo coastline. Near the entrance of our neighborhood, Playcar Fase 1, there is a shuttle pickup (you must pay to park beforehand) or a taxi that goes through our neighborhood security and can take you directly. X-caret 15 minutes away from our home in car.

3. Where is the property located?

Our home is inside the exclusive, luxurious gated community of Playacar Fase 1. Only guests or homeowners are given access to the neighborhood and there 24-7 security throughout the neighborhood.

4. Do you have a private pool?

Yes, the pool is private and located in the front yard, perfect for a dip after visiting the beach steps away from our home.

5. Do you have a free parking spot?

Yes, you can park in front of our home for free.

6. Do you have beach towels and beach chairs?

Yes!

7. How many bedrooms are at the bottom level and top?

There are three bedrooms on the first floor.

Two of the first-floor bedrooms have a ful bathroom, and the third first -floor bedroom has a full bathroom steps from the room in the hallway.

The second floor is the largest room with a full bathroom and access to the balcony from three points, two large sliding doors in the room, or a door right outside the bedroom, which leads to the patio and grilling area.

Gorgeous house in an unbeatable location

This is our second year in a row returning to this property and we plan to come back again next year. The house is extremely spacious, beautifully designed and well stocked with everything a family could need. Location is absolutely top notch - quiet street with steps to one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. We enjoyed every minute of gorgeous weather and stunning turquoise water. The pool by the house was our favourite place to hang out and we really enjoyed exploring the community and local restaurants. Tara looked after every single one of our needs and we really enjoyed getting to know her Thank you so much for a truly amazing vacation!
Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025

About the host

Hosted by Julie Leopo

Host profile image
"Welcome to our home, Casa Amigos de Corazón.

We’re Jeff and Julie, husband-and-wife from Southern California who fell in love with the culture and beauty of Mexico. We’ve always enjoyed Mexican folk art, listening to Mexico's vibrant music, and spending time on the stunning beaches of Quintana Roo. Eventually, it just made sense to make Playa del Carmen our part time home. With our fluffy poodle, Cho, by our side, we’re excited to share a little piece of what makes this place so special to us."

Why they chose this property

We stumbled upon the beach on a yearly Mexico trip we make as a family and found the home of our dreams, and now are sharing it with visitors who wish to see what Playacar beaches have to offer.

What makes this property unique

Aside from the pillow soft sand and turquoise waters just steps away from our home, you can also venture into the neighborhood that houses Mayan ruins, or take a stroll through the mall at the entrance of the neighborhood that also connects to the ferry to take a day trip to the island of Cozumel.

The art inside our home comes from local artisans and carpenters.
