About this property

3 Bedroom Luxury Villa 5 min walk to 5th ave and Beach

Located in the gated community of Playacar Phase 2
A stunning vacation property in an unbeatable location, Casa de Aves is situated less than a 5 minute walk to the crystalline waters of the Caribbean Sea and charming shops, superb restaurants and quaint cafes which line Mexico’s most famous cobblestone street, 5th Avenue.

Within the secure, gated community of Playacar, this elegant 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath home features a custom-designed kitchen replete with sleek granite counters, dark modern cabinetry and all the cookware, utensils and appliances needed to prepare succulent feasts for your family and friends. A tremendous semi-circular living area with its dramatic, domed ceiling and elongated windows is an architectural marvel, allowing the cheerful sun to flood the interior with natural light, accentuating the polished marble floors. In addition, there is a laundry room with washer/dryer, beach chairs and umbrellas. A bedroom with 2 twins and an en-suite are off the TV room which provides a flat screen, satellite television and DVD player. A wide terrace which spans the width of the house and extends the living space to the outdoors, invites guests to take advantage of Playa’s enviable climate. Enjoy a flavorful meal prepared on the propane grill or lounge with a glass of wine in the sublime seating area which backs onto a verdant garden.

A winding stairwell ascends to an open loft space with a futon, which can accommodate 2 small children, as well as a work station with a desk and printer. Both bedrooms on this upper level are furnished with plush king beds and each has an en-suite displaying gorgeous tile work with intricate stone inset. From the vantage point of the expansive terrace off the master, guests can delight in watching their colorful neighbors soar by. Bordered by the Xaman-ha bird sanctuary, the green space surrounding Casa de Aves frequently experiences visits from a variety of winged creatures such as toucans, yellow-backed orioles and parrots!!

A private tennis court and communal area boasting a substantial pool, plenty of reclining lounge chairs and a palapa with seating and wifi are only a few steps from your door. On 5th Avenue is a limitless array of enticing restaurants serving traditional Mexican and international fare, fresh juice bars, boutique and brand name stores, artisan shops, a play park, nightly Mayan performances, galleries and pubs showcasing riveting musicians from around the world.

Mexico Trip
Our stay was nice. We had a great time. The walk to the beach was a bit much with the strollers and everything but was good. The aviary next door provided a nice insight to the natural environment that Playa had to offer. Hurricane Beryl hit us and we maintained electricity and were fine.

Bueno!
Property was exactly as advertised. Close to town, close to the beach. Very quiet. Other reviews mentioned some noise from the aviary but we felt it added to the ambiance. Tara was a very attentive property manager. If we had any questions, she was very quick to respond via WhatsApp. Would definitely stay again.

Spacious house, good location
The house was generally spacious, including large bathrooms and showers off each of the 3 bedrooms and an extra 2 piece bathroom. The location within Playacar was perfect for our family. There is only one official access path to the beach for the whole length of the Playacar gated community and it is quite near this house. Hotels along the beach have guards that dont let people pass through to access the beach. Once on the beach you can swim anywhere or take a long walk along the sandy beach near the ocean. Unfortunately there was a lot of sargassum seaweed. This has nothing to do with the house, which I give 5 stars, but more to do with global warming. I mention it because it did effect our vacation, as our family members were really looking forward to hanging out on the beach more. There is more seaweed during certain times of the year and you might want to do some research about it before you plan your vacation. We spent most of our time in the swimming pool, which was sufficiently large to swim back and forth for a few laps and the water was a nice warm temperature. The house location was close to the main entrance gate to the community, a very short walk to town, restaurants, shops, the Cozumel ferry, the bus station. If you are further inside Playacar, the walk gets long to town. We rented bicylces, which were very convenient to cycle to the large grocery store and around the Playacar loop for exercise. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, TV had netflix, grill on the patio worked fine. There is a bird sanctuary behind the back fence of the house. The birds do not come over the fence, but they make quite a racket about 3 times a day. It must be before their feeding times. For most of the time they are quiet.

Great Location
The Location is perfect, just a short walk almost anywhere! The house is very nice. Everything is so nice and they have everything we needed for an incredible time. They allowed us to store our luggage for a bit on our last day and when we returned, they were cleaning the place vigorously. They were doing an incredible job even when we left the place as we found it for the most part. Would stay again. Only two minor negatives that did not affect the review, there are no doors on the restrooms in the bedrooms and there is a bird sanctuary a few feet out the back door that made a bit of noise early in the morning. Again, does not affect our review, just thought people would care to know about that in advance.

It was wonderful. The house managers were great. They were so helpful and took care of any problem we had immediately. The house was clean and was well stocked. The only issue is that the path to the beach is difficult to walk on. I would definitely come back.

Great stay
We had a fantastic time here. The villa was perfect for the 6 of us (4 Adults 2 Babies). It had everything we needed and just a short walk to the beach and shops and restaurants. Tara was amazing, answered all our questions, was able to provide cribs and high chairs for the babies and sent us all the information for a seamless check in process. Thanks Tara.

Wonderful Christmas Getaway
The home had everything we needed for comfort and relaxation at the beach. Tara was very helpful with information and helping us plan excursions and settling into the house. She and Luis were very responsive with a small issue with hot water fun to work with. We enjoyed exploring using the owners book of recommendations and highly recommend staying at their lovely home in Playa del Carmen.

Great location in Playa del Carmen
The location was as good as it gets in Playa del Carmen. It was a short walk to the beach and to the start of 5th avenue. 5 minutes to either. The condo has everything you could possibly need including towels, beach chairs, coolers, insulated to-go cups, etc. It easily accommodated our group of 7 people (3 adults, 4 kids). It has nice a nice seating area at the back with a bbq and is great for entertaining, having drinks, etc. The property managers Tara and Luis were super helpful and super friendly. They had a cold 6 pack of beer and chips and salsa available for us on arrival and also arranged transportation to Xcaret for our group. A nice touch! They responded to every email question quickly and promptly. The pool was secluded and quiet in the afternoons and was a nice place to relax after a day at the beach or shopping. The only drawbacks were minor. The bird sanctuary is loud in the morning and in evening (not too bad once you get used to it though, kind of amusing) and there is no toilet paper allowed in the toilets (buy doggie bags) and it was a long walk to the garbage bin. The loop around Playacar Phase 2 was 3.5 miles long and it was great for early morning jogs and long walks if you get tired of exploring 5th avenue too. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Villa!!
My family really enjoyed our stay at Jeff's villa. The house is just as nice in person as the pics show. Located close to town and the beach. Fully stocked with the essential necessaries. Plenty of beach towels, chairs. coolers and even some toys for the kiddos. Only a couple of things to know- villa does not have a dishwasher or garbage disposal. Not a deal breaker by any means, just a personal preference. I would rather clean a toilet then hand wash anything! The villa is located directly next to a bird sanctuary, so if you like to sleep in, bring ear plugs. The community pool was nice and clean but the palapa area needs some love. Tara the property manager was amazing! She arranged round trip transportation from cancun, which is about a 40 min drive to the villa. She also went shopping ahead of time for some essential groceries and booze. There are some little stores like 711 near by for a quick run, but you can take a cab to Walmart which is less then a 10 min drive. Never an issue getting a cab anywhere. I had a few small issues/questions when we first arrived, but every time I called Tara, she always answered right away and took care of anything we needed! Her husband even removed a gecko that had found its way into my son's room so the he could sleep. Book excursions online like Xcaret or dolphin discovery. We got ripped off from one of the vendors on the wharf. Took the ferry over to Cozumel which took about 35-40 min. You can get tickets on the Wharf, which is about a 10 min walk down the beach. Book this villa for a relaxing stay in Playa, you won't be disappointed!

The house is beautiful.
The house is in a great location right at the entrance to 10th Avenue which leads you right into 5th Avenue. The owner has everything you could possibly need and more inside the house. Tara was great with everything we asked of her, she went above and beyond to make sure our stay was the best. Our driver Alberto that Tara set us up with for a day of excursions was awesome. My friends and I would like to thank everyone that made our vacation awesome.

Back again for a great stay
We have rented this house once or twice a year for the past several years and have never been disappointed...and this was the case again for our trip there in March/April. The house is very well maintained (e.g. the patio had recently been re-tiled and improved) and is always well appointed with kitchen wares, linens, towels, beach chairs, etc. This is our favourite place to vacation because of the location - an easy walk to the beach as well as shops, restaurants, bars and the rest of what Playa del Carmen has to offer while still very quiet and safe in the gated Playacar Ph 2 community.

An excellent Villa in an excellent location
We can’t say enough about our vacation. From stem to stern it was seamless. Between Jeff and Tara our every need was looked after and questions answered. The Villa was not oversold. Everything was as promised. The restaurant book in the Villa was bang on in terms of where to eat and what to eat (we added Mr Dog to the list). We highly recommend spending a week as we will be again! Thanks Jeff and Tara.

So much better than expected!
If you are planning a trip to Playa Del Carmen this Villa is the place for you and your family. It is completely stocked with everything you will need for a great vacation. Don't worry about bringing beach towels, chairs, coolers, beach bags or toys for the kids because Jeff has all of that there for you. If you decide to cook at home you will find a kitchen with everything you need there too. We loved using the outside grill and sitting on the patio. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very spacious. The beds are super comfortable. There is plenty of closet space if you want to completely unpack and not live out of your suitcase. The Villa is just steps away for the pool as well. Spend some time there and you will see the Iguana's the stay close by. Its a nice area with plenty of space. The location is perfect for the beach, walking to shopping and restaurants on 5th St. We walked to 5th St every evening for dinner. There are so many places to eat. The coolest part about walking to the beach is going through the ruins and seeing animals that live there. We actually saw a monkey which is a rare occurrence! The beach is beautiful! You really don't need to rent a car because everything is so close but if you want to go to Tulum or Akumel I would recommend using Collectivo. Tara, the property manager is awesome. She arranged roundtrip airport transportation for our group She met us when we arrived at the Villa and dropped by several times during the week to check on us and make sure we had everything we needed. She is there to make sure your vacation is stress free and as relaxing as possible. She and Luis will also stock groceries before your arrival which is pretty cool! Thank you Jeff and Tara for making our trip to Mexico a trip of a lifetime. We will be coming back!

Beautiful home; great location
The Villa is wonderful - fully stocked with all home, beach and pool needs. Close to all amenities - 10 minute walk to downtown; 10 minute walk to the beach. Backs on to bird aviary (we saw Tucans flying overhead). Property managers (Tara and Luis) are great and can provide whatever supports are needed.

Relaxing Week in Playacar
Just returned from a wonderful week at this fabulous Villa, my third time there. What a wonderful location! A beautiful, quiet haven just a minute outside the gate into Playa Del Carmen, a five minute walk to the beach, and minutes to many wonderful restaurants. We had arranged to have Tara stock some groceries and liquor for us so we didn't have to worry about that upon our arrival and that was so convenient. Tara is always reachable if we needed anything and checked in several times throughout the week. The accommodations are wonderful and everyone had their own space. Really enjoyed hanging out at the pool. It was always quiet and relaxing and we enjoyed visiting with some of the other vacationers. Fun to see the iguanas and agoutis on the property. Looking forward to our return to this same Villa in 2018.

Very nice house with a location that can't be beat. From 5th Ave to the beach...just a 5 min walk.A very easy drive to Tulum and beaches in between. Our family had several people coming and going through out our stay and all were happy with how convenient it was to walk anywhere. Property managers were on top of our needs and ready to make our stay as comfortable as possible...and they did. The house owner was easy to get in touch with and we were very comfortable dealing with him. We could not have ask for a nicer vacation stop...thank you all very much

Fab Holiday in the Sun!
Myself and my family stayed at Casa de Aves in December for two weeks and we had a great time! The villa's location is fantastic, literally just a 5 minute walk into Playa Del Carmen and to the beach. The villa itself is all you need and the pool area is only a few steps away. Tara and Luis were so helpful during our stay. If ever there was a problem or we needed more information they got back to us immediately (quite handy to have some local knowledge when you are self catering in Mexico!). We have been to Mexico on quite a few occasions, both all inclusive and self catering and we would definitely recommend this villa if you are thinking of doing the latter kind of holiday. Thank you to Jeff and his family for letting us stay at your home and thanks for the easy communication!

Best Villa in Playacar Phase 2
From the minute we arrived at this Villa we knew we had chosen the right place! The location in Playacar Phase 2 is perfect! The pool is literally a short walk from the front door. The grounds and pool are beautifully kept. The staff managers made us feel like family. We had snacks and drinks waiting for us after our long flight there! The location is great. Near the front entrance is the best place to be. Walk out the front gate and you are minutes from 5th Ave. where all the best restaurants, shops, and nightlife are located. Pedicure and Manicure at Kristines is a must! The owner is extremely nice and easy to work with. Responds very quickly to any emails or calls. The Villa itself is high end! Great furnishings, awesome kitchen, and the beds are super comfortable. Our group of 5 had more than enough room. The Wifi is excellent! You even have a Wifi at the pool. We did not lose our connection for 11 days! The house has more than what you need from beach chairs, towels, bikes, grill, too much to name. This is our 2nd trip to Playa Del Carmen and this was the best by far. This was a true vacation in paradise! Thanks to all the new friends we met and we will definitely be back and recommend this Villa to everyone! Gracias!
