¡Bienvenidos! Mi Casa truly is your Casa! Situated in Residence La Coccinella, Unit 102-A, is located in a VERY BEST Playa del Carmen neighborhood! Caribbean Sea and beaches is a two minute walk. Restaurants and shops just around the corner from La Coccinella's secured Calle 28th gate!

La Coccinella's one-of-a-kind setting offers refreshing sanctuary -- after a day of excursions or beach time. Less than a 1/4 mile to the popular beach clubs: Mamita's and KOOL. Excellent restaurants, cafes, bistros and high-end-to-traditional shops line 5th Ave. The entire complex consist of 12 privately owned condos --- housed in our boutique complex. Two 3-story buildings face each other, with a lush garden-POOL courtyard in the center.

Use the privacy and convenience of this lovingly furnished haven as an Air Conditioned home-base to return to after for excursions and beach outings. Relax and enjoy refreshments, check your email (secure strong WiFi connectivity) on your own secluded patio. Since the condo is situated around the corner from restaurants, shops, bistros, cafes, beach clubs, and more! Everything you need is within walking distance.

This One-bedroom unit offers an extra comfy California King bed and is furnished with all the comforts of home. Second bed is a sturdy sofa-sleeper in the Living Room. A Mexican-matrimonial Queen-sized quality fold-out mattress.

The Living Room is air conditioned and so is the bedroom. Both have three-speed ceiling fans as well. Relax with secured WiFi service everywhere in my condo. Catch a flick on the flat screen television. There's a collection of movies on DVD, or bring your own and play them on the all-region DVD player.

The Kitchen has every item you might desire for: blending drinks, cooking up an omelette, preparing toast, making a tropical fruit salad or prepping your steaks for the patio WEBER barbecue grill.

A private patio is great for enjoying the beauty and sanctuary of our tropical garden-pool courtyard. Umbrella for shade around a patio table with three-padded armchairs. (See listing's photos)

This lovely home-away-from-home, sleeps three adults very comfortably. And is positioned on the garden-pool level of the 12-unit complex. Designed with a blend of European and Mexican styling, our 'authentic-Playa' complex is a superbly maintained Playa del Carmen Classic. Enjoy the views of our lush garden-pool, as you look out the living room's floor-to-ceiling screened-in glass doors. Make yourself at home!

Enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool, some relaxing sun on a Guest's lounge chairs. Or go to, Mamita’s Beach Club or other great near-by beach club choices. Want to enjoy the turquoise waters of ‘El Caribe’/the Caribbean? If you choose a beach club, (approx.$10.USD) they will provide you with a chaise, a shady sombrilla/umbrella and friendly food and beverage service.

Our expert Guest's Relations team, led by Aude, are fluent in English, Spanish and French. Welcome! ¡Bienvenida! Bienvenue!

Please note that Playa del Carmen in general has noisy bars and restaurants. Particularly in its "City Center": Calle 10th (south) to Calle 38th (north), along Fifth Avenue. Our 12-Unit boutique complex in near enough to a 5th Ave bar/restaurant that their music can be heard until at least 11PM/Midnight. Their music's noise-levels can be mitigated--muffled while in my Unit by closing its outer facing doors and windows, etc. Our Guests have found our noise-abating suggestions very satisfactory. Or have no issues with - even like - the bar's lively music. I also invite confirmed Guests to pack their earplugs. [As a noise-sensitive person -- I wear them nightly in my Playa place for a good night's sleep.]

Fly into Cancun International Airport and take a rental car, ADO bus, taxi or shuttle 45 minutes south to Playa del Carmen. We'll gladly help you schedule your transfer with Aldo -- our favorite professional transfer service. Enjoy you vacation!

Worst Place Ever
As soon as you open the doors the smell of MILDEW hits you, the bed was like sleeping on a piece of plywood with a inch of foam on it, the music that played at night was so loud it was like they were playing in the condo. The property manager said she forgot to mention that we should bring ear plugs to sleep. We were so miserable that we came home 5 days early 😢this was supposed to be our 20 year anniversary. We incurred a lot more $$ in Flights, cancel of staying and of course memories with my beloved. This by far is the worse place we have ever stayed.

Wonderful private experience!
Loved the little slice of heaven that was our condo in Playa! Thank you so much for all the ease of check in and accommodations! Incredibly convenient to everything and great help in setting up a tour! Renters be aware of 15K use of air conditioning per day or extra charge as it does get hot in Playa in the summer! :)

Nice but noisy
We had enjoyable stay at this centrally located property. Close walking distance to beach and popular 5th ave walking street. Fairly well equipped and all our concerns were addressed promptly. Only issue is really noise from nearby bars/restaurants, street performers etc etc etc. Only quiet time really from 4am to 8:30am, so need to close windows and use air conditioning. This is a property for those who want to party.

Amazingly safe condo! Amazing location. The only issue (out of the owners control), is the loud music until late at night. I’d stay again in a heart beat

A great deal in a great spot
Very clean and cute, it has everything that you need. I didn't give the check-in a five only because my check-in and check-out were on holidays (Christmas and New Years), so minor hiccups are not unreasonable. I liked that it was close to the hopping part of town but not enmeshed in it. We walked everywhere and really appreciated all the recommendations and hints provided.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The unit was comfortable and well equipped. The grounds were beautiful and immaculate. Property manager and owner were both quick to respond to questions. We loved the close proximity to the beach and enjoyed a morning dip. All services, restaurants, shops are within easy walking distance. Many thanks to owner and manager who responded quickly to our lock out incident.

A port in the storm
A wonderfully tranquil condo complex with staff that are super attentive and helpful. Location is just a half block from lively fifth avenue but the bedroom, with door and window closed, was virtually soundproof at night.

Peaceful oasis
Very comfortable oasis close to, yet removed from the busyness of Quinte Avenida. Anything one could want is within walking distance of this charming unit. The condo is well stocked for a short or longer stay. Comfortable bed made for great sleeping. We spent 2 weeks and are returning in a month for another stay.

Inexpensive, great location
We enjoyed coffee every morning on the quiet, secluded patio. 2 1/2 block walk to the beach. Had the pool to ourselves. Nothing fancy, but it had everything that we needed. Would definitely return!
