Welcome. Bienvenidos. Bienvenue. Begrüßung.

My Casita is your Casa! Situated in Residencia La Coccinella - a boutique 12-Unit complex - located in a preferred Playa del Carmen neighborhood. Caribbean ⛱ Sea: two minute walk close. Restaurants and shops just around the corner from complex' secured Calle 28th and Calle 30th gates.

La Coccinella's one-of-a-kind setting offers refreshing tropical Garden-Pool sanctuary - after a day of excursions or beach time. Less than a 1/4 mile to the popular beach club Mamita's and sunrise at Caribbean Sea. Excellent restaurants, cafes, bistros and high-end-to-traditional shops line 5th Ave. The entire complex consist of 12 privately owned condos. Two 3-story buildings face/mirror the other, with a lush garden-POOL courtyard in between them. Original Classic-Playa's Italian+Mexican architecture blend. A rare jewel.

Use the privacy and convenience of this lovingly furnished haven as an Air Conditioned home-base to return to after excursions and beach outings. Relax and enjoy refreshments, check your email (secure hi-speed 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 King-sized bed and is furnished with all the comforts of home. Second bed is a sturdy sofa-sleeper in the Living Room. A double-sized quality futon fold-out mattress.

Both the Living Room & Bedroom have AC Units w remote control. Both living spaces have large high quality three-speed ceiling fans, as well. Relax with secured WiFi service everywhere in my condo. Catch a flick or favorite show on the 40" flat screen television. Connect your laptop with the provided HDMI cable for streaming preferences.

The Kitchen has every item you might desire for: blending drinks, cooking up an omelette, preparing toast, making a tropical fruit salad or prepping items to BBQ or grill in the patio's full-size WEBER barbecue grill.

The private pool-side patio is ideal for enjoying the beauty and sanctuary of our tropical garden-pool courtyard. Umbrella for shade around a patio table with three padded seat armchairs.

This lovely home-away-from-home, sleeps Two adults very comfortably. Plus a child or teen. 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.

My girlfriend and I had a great week in Antoinette's Vrbo! The courtyard and pool area was just what we were looking for, and it was so close to the beach and the restaurants and shops on 5th Ave. There was construction next door which left some dust on the patio, but there were workers cleaning the area, and Antoinette was very open and transparent about the whole construction situation long before our arrival. She even offered us a refund if we thought it would affect our stay. The check-in was super easy and there was a clear guest manual with anything we could need. We would definitely stay here again!

This was a perfect Hidden little Gem for sure. A/C worked well, clean environment, host and manager very easy to communicate with and the pool was perfect. Construction right beside us did not bother us and they were done by 7 pm every day. Condo right next to 5th ave and a block and a half to the beach. Late night noise from surrounding areas no problem with the windows closed. Love this place. We are definitely coming back!!! So close to everything. We stayed March 10-17 2026. Also very close to everything even groceries. Thank you Antoinette and Aude!!!

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.

Hidden Serenity in the heart of Playa

Antoinette and her staff were all terrific !! Amazing location in the heart of Playa The serenity of the court yard and pool area was so peaceful. Even with all the hussle and bussel of 5th Avenue at your door step. One city block away from the beautiful beaches of the Caribbean. We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend Antoinette's hidden hideaway to future guests. Beth Lukye

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.

Thank you for your Review Karen. Sorry to hear that nearby music hours were extended during the 2020 Holidays. When I stay the 5th Ave restaurant music doesn't begin until 4:30-5PM...continuing until midnight. Or 1AM on the weekends. I'm glad you found the best way to block it out. I too close the windows and turn on the AC! We do appreciate your Review...yet most of our satisfied Guests are not necessarily party people. Thanks again for staying with us!

3 week stay wonderful!

We had a great 3 week stay here. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils for when we cooked, the beach chairs and pool chairs provided were much appreciated! The stovetop was a bit slow to heat up but we managed. Coming back from a short walk to and from Mamitas Beach and relaxing at the beautiful pool and garden was a daily routine and we will miss this! It is fairly close to grocery stores and a short walk to some quaint beach bars! We like to sleep with the windows open and a breeze at night but found 5th Avenue a bit noisy for this unfortunately, until later at night. Thanks Antoinette and staff, we loved your condo!

Cozy condo near the beach, shops, and restaurants

Our entire experience from corresponding with Antoinette, to our arrival at the condo was superb. The property management associates were very friendly and helpful. Additionally, the condo is equipped with all the necessary amenities, and a beautiful pool view from the condo entrance. The entire property is secure and well maintained; during our stay landscapers tended to the grounds and the pool. The restaurants, shops, and beaches are all walking distance from the condo. One essential feature is Wifi, I didn't have any problems with accessibility or connectivity. My husband and I visit the area on an annual basis; this visit was exceptional. Our only regret is we didn't stay longer.

Great location! Steps away from beach!

The apartment was so close to the beach! Only 2 blocks away! And only a half block of the main strip - lots of restaurants, shopping, and taxis. We were very comfortable - nice place. Used the pool and the kitchen most days! The grocery store was a 10 min walk - but there were also some small markets and pharmacy on the main strip. We walked to dinner every night - and great places to eat. Antoinette was very helpful in providing information for our trip and her team in Playa Del Carmen met us when we arrived, showed us around and was available to answer questions. The team also helped us booked some fun excursions! Antoinette and her team also helped us with a few last minute adjustments to make our family trip great!! I hope we can come back again!

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.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 May 2022
We're truly sorry for your terrible experience. In the 18 years of hosting Travelers we've never received a one star review. Maybe booking any accommodation a half a block from 5th Ave's "fun zone" isn't a great choice for Travelers seeking a totally noise-free environment. Playa del Carmen, in general is a very busy - active - animated tourist destination And the advantages of our complexes' location, its being near 5th Ave AND its beaches -- comes with the allowance of nightly music. We apologize here -- again for not remembering to mention packing earplugs. (This key noise-abatement solution (along with closing doors and windows) anywhere in Playa Center, particularly if Guests are noise-sensitive is included in our listing's description.) There is zero mildew in our condo--upon arriving there can be humidity that's accumulated from the doors and windows having been closed. Seasonal rainfall also contributes to increased humidity. (Playa is a subtropical environment.) Re: California King bed: Though not brand new--it has a medium-firm mattress which is regularly complimented--appreciated by our new and return Guests. We're hopeful that you appreciated receiving a refund. Though the difficult truth, that our centrally located place wasn't right for you, wasn't realized until arrival -- we did our very best to help correct a mismatched booking decision. Wishing you an exceptional year ahead!

We loved it.

Our stay was wonderful. This was our first VRBO stay and we hope to come back next year. Antoinette and her representatives are very responsive and welcoming. It was a pleasure dealing with them. The apartment is just as it appears in the photos. It is clean, well maintained and very well equipped. We felt very safe and secure. All the little extras to make you feel at home are there. It is very well located. The beach is only two short blocks away. We had no problem carrying the beach chairs and umbrella for a do it yourself beach day. We also enjoyed several of the beach bars which were further south on the beach but still within easy walking distance. We were able to walk to the big grocery store. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby but we we never bothered by noise. There is a lovely little patio with outside that has some privacy due to the immaculately maintained gardens. The pool was clean and great to cool off in. Thank you Antoinette and Lorena for a great stay!!

Great Condo, Great location

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. The location was great to head out for lunch or dinner on 5th Ave. We made breakfast at the condo, and enjoyed the quiet, private patio. The burner was really slow to cook on though. It is larger than the photos make it seem. It was perfect for my husband, 9 month old and myself. We spent a lot of time here, as with a little one it was easier to hang out by the pool. One downside for us was the construction going on above us made it hard to get our LO down for naps. There was banging almost all day for at least 4 days of our 7 day visit. For most people that wouldn't matter as it seems everyone in the complex headed out for the day. Overall, Antoinette, Aude and Lorena were very accommodating. They provided us with a playpen for my LO to sleep, and a kettle for us to prepare bottles. I don't know what we would have done without this. It was perfect for us! Thank you!

Location, location, location

We were at this house from Jan 29 to Feb 12, 2011. First, the agent, Lorenzo, gave us a warm welcome, and made sure we had everything we needed. i'd say the biggest advantage of being in this condo was the location. A little 1 min walk and you are on the beach! We saved a lot of money by going for lunch at the condo and go back to the beach. Even though it is located at the corner of 5th street, the place is very quiet, since it is a private yard surrounded by walls, so you don't hear anything at night. We absolutely loved it! The place was clean, the price was good and we had everything we needed (water, etc). Don't expect a five star condo, it is not a luxirious palace like other places in Playa, but it is perfect for people who are looking for an unexpensive, clean and confortable place to stay, that is close to everything. Plus the service (both owner and agent), is very friendly and good. I'd say the kitchen stove and equipements are not made to cook a huge dinner, but convenient to make a small meal for 2. I'd recommend this appartment to anyone!
Response from VrboOwner on 22 Mar 2020
It was OUR pleasure having you as guests. From first conversations to thank you notes! I agree- no baked turkey or cakes in the kitchen. I find myself using the portable appliances for broiling, toasting or warming food up. Not luxurious, but efficient! Hope to have you as return guests in the future!! Thanks again!

¡Perfecto!

Words could not even begin to describe how perfect staying here was! You are very close to the beach and a few feet away from 5th Ave, but somehow when you are back in the courtyard you feel very secluded from everything. Antoinette, Maeva and Aude were extremely helpful in answering all of our questions being our first trip to the area, as well as a last minute weather check in the day before we left. The pool is refreshing on the warm days and very private. They also have a safe in the house to lock up any personal items as you need to. Maeva also was so helpful in booking any excursions to Chichen Itza, which picked us up right outside our place. They also have a binder with other excursions and things to do if you are unfamiliar with the area. There is even a small car rental place right outside on the street if you decide to drive yourself anywhere as well which is very convenient. Taxis are also just all around also. Playa del Carmen is a beautiful city and we absolutely fell in love with it. Everyone is so wonderful and we are looking forward to coming back! We will be definitely be staying here on our next trip. Thank for making the vacation of our dreams.
