This was the perfect stay for our group of three families. Having our own pool was amazing. The beach was a short 2 minute walk away and the main drag with shops and restaurants was a short 7 minute walk away. This was a perfect place for exploring Playa Del Carmen and we loved our stay. Just a word of caution for those with mobility issues, it is a full 3 stories, so sleeping on the top floor was a good leg workout. There are so many lovely spaces in this house and we fully used all of them. Would recommend 100%.

Pauline was communicative, kind, and accommodating. The house caretaker, Sergio, was also wonderful. He greeted us at the house, showed us how everything worked, and even put us in touch with a shuttle, a chef, and a photographer. The home is literally a two-block walk to a beautiful beach. Pauline provided a crib, a highchair, and a pack & play for our grandsons. There was ample room for all eight of us. A giant screen TV in the 2nd floor living room had TV to watch the football games, and streaming services for movies, etc. It is a 10 minute walk to downtown PDC, and the ferry to Cozumel. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing stay!

The place was an amazing experience, Pauline was attentive to every need we had. I would easily give it more than five stars if I could. The place was clean, spacious, and had a great feel about it. The beach was so close and 5th Avenida was not too far but far enough to avoid the noise. I’d love to stay here next time we come to Playa del Carmen.

Laura prepared a wonderful meal for us upon arrival and everyone went out of their way to help my son celebrate his birthday, surprising him with balloons and a cake!

Impressive !!!!!!!!

This place was FANTASTIC! To start, I can't say enough about the host Pauline! She was always there before my trips to answer questions and arrange transport from the Cancun airport. The house was amazing! Plenty of room to roam around and plenty of separate space so you didn't feel on top of each other. The area was secure and close to walk to grab a cab or just cruise down the beach. My friends and I thouroughly enjoyed our stay there for my 40th bday trip. I highly recommend the villa!

Fantastic stay and fantastic host

Pauline is an incredible host! She made our stay wonderful and was extremely helpful. In addition to quick and helpful communication, she helped us arrange shuttle ride to and from the airport and connected us with a driver who could take us to and from the wedding we were attending. The local property manager, Sergio, was also very helpful. We were able to hire his mother to cook a dinner for us one night--the dinner was excellent. The property was just as described. Safe and clean neighborhood with security staff + very close to the beach. I highly recommend staying at Pauline's residence in Playa!

We had such a great time at Casa Palmas right from the start ! It was a beautiful house with lots of room. Sergio took such good care of us and was really responsive to our needs. The walk to 5th Avenue was minimal and there were even ruins to see on the way. Also, Pauline made sure that all of our arrangements were in place before our arrival.

Beautiful, beautiful staff!

We took our family (6 grandsons and 6 adults) to Playa Del Carmen for 11 days! The home was beautifully decorated and had many conveniences for all of us to enjoy meals in. We were 2 minutes to the beach and 10 minutes from downtown so days were spent on the beach and at night we walked into town for street entertainment and dinners. Sergio hooked us up with our favorite driver Remero! He offered suggestions for our day trips and the kids loved honing their Spanish with him. Casa Palmas was amazing and Pauline made the trip fun for all of us. Thanks to all for giving our family a magical vacation!

Pretty House

Pauline offers a nice 3 story house with a plunge pool out front. There are also nice terraces upstairs to enjoy the sun. Sergio is helpful and his mom makes some wonderful dinners. The beach was pretty but we had the bad luck that nobody can predict of seaweed washing up on the beach. The beach is quite close. There is plenty of room for families and 2 kitchens. We did hear some distant construction work the first 2 mornings of our visit but in short order I am sure the team will move along.

Perfect, spacious, near the beach, fully equipped

All 7 of us considered it amazing. It was perfectly located 2 short blocks from the beach, but also had a great little pool out front where we spent half our time. Roof top patio, multiple floors, multiple balconies meant that everyone could find some away space. The best part was that it was fully equipped. There were all the beach chairs, umbrellas that we needed, and a cooler. Two bicycles with a bike lock and key were perfect for a quick ride into town for groceries. This is the second time we've been to Playacar, and the next time, we will book here; I'm sure we wouldn't find a better place. Had lots of quick response communication with both the owner and Sergio, the on-site property manager, who passed by several times.

Beautiful house and pool!!

We loved the house and pool!! Sergio was so kind and accommodating. The only issue was the algae bloom had impacted this beach so we were unable to enjoy the ocean. It would have been nice to have known in advance before we went to the market and bought lots of groceries ... and before booking 3 different sets of family members to ride in from Cancun airport. We had to cut our time at the house short and rebook in a different area.

Family Holiday Getaway

What a beautiful gem just steps from the ocean! The house is so lovely - 4 outdoor seating areas - pool - ocean just down the block. There was some construction going on behind the house so we couldn't use the roof seating area during working hours, but that didn't dampen our enthusiasm for a wonderful stay at this location. The neighborhood is so beautiful and we walked it every day - spent time at the beach every day, including enjoying some fabulous sunrises - also enjoyed the bird sanctuary. Our host and property manager were the best! They arranged all travel for us and also arranged for Laura to cook 2 meals for us - what a bonus that is! Those meals were fantastic! Everyone so helpful and delightful. Would highly recommend this property.

Great Property in Playacar Phase 1

The place was perfect for a group of four guys on a dive trip. A short walk to the city center and to the Reef Marina, our dive shop. Two kitchens, four bedrooms, a sofa bed on the 2nd floor, and 3 bathrooms, with patios, rooftop, and a small play pool to hangout. The master BR on the top floor doesn't have full privacy, but it was spacious with a great master bath. The owner was responsive and the local staff were very attentive during our stay. The unit has 2 bikes, which made it convenient to run to the store. Air conditioning was listed as an option and I missed that when originally booking.

200 steps to the beach!

Three adult couples shared the villa for 11nights-The villa is spacious very clean, very bright and friendly.The layout is interesting and was not really conducive to our group- the 2 most upper decks are accessible only through the master bedroom. However we made it work and very much enjoyed our time at Casa Palmas. Pauline is extremely gracious answering any questions. Sergio is also quick to answer and remedy any problems and help book a driver (which we did several times- Juan is amazing if you book a driver through Sergio) Maria keeps the Villa clean and well maintained. Beach chairs, umbrellas beach mats and 2 adult bikes with a lock are available to use. Along with being so close to the beach you are a very short walk to 5th Avenue with some Mayan Ruins along the way!
