The house was very clean and spacious. Ivonne , house manager, was able to take care of our requests quickly. The chef services, Las Marias, was one of the hi lights of our stay. Food was delicious and presentation made it even better. Top feature was the closeness to the beach. It was literally 50 steps away. We would stay again for sure.

The house was everything advertised, great location, and super clean! Quality furnishings, and comfortable linens and beds One of the things that made our stay, the easiest was all the recommendations we received from Ivonne. Having a concierge with her level of experience made planning for our ladies trip so much easier.We had Maria cook for us two nights and we can’t say enough good things about her skill level, presentation and what a lovely person!So close to the ocean that we could walk down in our pajamas and take pictures of the sunrise. If you’re looking to stay in Playa Del Carmen, please consider this location.

WOW!! Seriously, the pictures are nice, but seeing the property in person blew us away. The staff were amazing, we were greeted by everyone when we arrived, and the coordination by the house manager, Ivonne, was five stars. She arranged our transportation, meals, and groceries along with a birthday cake and decoration. Daily check-ins to make sure everything is okay and to see if there's anything we need. Our meals were prepared every day, and the house was cleaned daily, which is so refreshing after a long day out on the beach. If you're looking to get pampered, this is the vacation home for you. The ride to the airport was quiet, as my group was a little sad to be leaving—one of the best vacations we’ve had. Thank you to Clint and his amazing team for making my wife's 50th birthday week so memorable. We’ll see you soon.

We had an incredibly special vacation at Casa Blanca. The home is beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up for actual living - not just sleeping between outings. Every room felt intentional and perfectly appointed to meet our needs.Each bedroom has a spacious ensuite and two of the bedrooms have additional sleeping options (a sofa and a futon). We enjoyed the various indoor and outdoor living spaces and particularly liked that there was enough space to relax and unwind without feeling we were on top of each other.The location was perfect for our family. 20 seconds walk to the beach, 15mins into the downtown area. We loved having a swim in the pool after a day at the beach and we were hugely grateful for all the beach and pool toys and furniture. Our house host (Ivonne) was incredibly helpful and so responsive before and throughout our whole stay. She made everything at the house (and for the adventures we took) so smooth and stress-free. Casa Blanca delivers. We left already talking about when we can come back.

Just as Posted on Vrbo, the house was few steps away from the beach, great location, short walk to 5th Ave and all restaurants. The staff was great and very accommodating. The best was dealing with Ivone the property manager, she was amazing and made sure to make our stay a true pleasure.

Wonderful home with plenty of room for 5 adults : enjoyed the pool and the close proximity to 5th Avenue . The beach area was small and too much sargassum to enjoy the beach / ocean . Maid was great and the hired chef Maria’s was superior!

Beautiful home away from home

We took our family to Casa Blanca over Christmas and it was such a wonderful experience. The home was perfect for our family. Ivonne helped us with transport, reservations and helping our family secure a piñata for a Mexican Christmas. Our home was cleaned daily and looked perfect when we returned from playing at the beach. We would definitely book Casa Blanca again!!!

Beautiful home! The house is cozy and it is nice and cool in all rooms, even common areas which is not typical for homes by the beach. Ivonne was a great host and very responsive. She even met us at the house to show us around. The home was very clean and even had cleaning service daily. We were able to pre-order groceries which was nice to not have to do when we arrived. The only downfall, but not the biggest deal for us was the sargasso. But it’s everywhere in playa so not much anyone can do about that. We enjoyed the pool instead. Thank you for a fabulous stay! We would definitely recommend!

Why they chose this property

Playacar Phase 1 beckons for reasons that set it apart in a league of its own. Nestled beside the beach, this private enclave boasts a distinctive charm, heightened by the presence of intriguing Mayan Ruins. Known as Playacar Fase 1 in Spanish, this gated community seamlessly combines luxury with the preservation of nature, adorned with lush trees.

Positioned at the southern tip of Playa Del Carmen, sandwiched between the town's edge and Phase 2 of Playacar, Phase 1 offers an intimate escape. Unlike its larger counterpart, Phase 1 allows residents the unique privilege of living directly on the beach or just a stone's throw away. In contrast, Phase 2's beachfront is dominated by all-inclusive hotels, creating hurdles for its guests seeking seaside access.

Adding to the allure are the captivating Mayan Ruins situated right in the heart of Playacar Phase 1. These ruins stand out as the best-preserved and most fascinating relics between Cancun and the Xel-Ha ruins near Tulum. Open to all, these archaeological wonders invite exploration, allowing anyone to stroll through history.

The appeal deepens with the assurance of a secure environment. Playacar Phase 1 is not just a gated community; it is a sanctuary of safety. Manned 24/7, the guard house at the entrance is complemented by security personnel patrolling on motorcycles, bicycles, and on foot. This diligent vigilance ensures a paradisiacal setting where residents can revel in tranquility. Need a taxi? A simple request to the guard, and within minutes, one will be at your doorstep—an embodiment of convenience and luxury that is truly exceptional.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, luxury, attentive staff, and prime location define our oasis in Playacar Phase 1. Situated within a gated and guarded neighborhood, escape the usual beach traffic. Ensuring a serene atmosphere for our discerning guests.

Spanning two land lots, our residence offers an abundance of outdoor space, featuring a covered dining area for al fresco enjoyment. The architectural marvel of the house itself goes beyond expectations, embodying a level of awe-inspiring excellence.

What sets us apart is not just the physical grandeur but the unparalleled service provided by our dedicated staff. Experience the lavish lifestyle as our team caters to your needs, transcending the ordinary. From handling your grocery shopping to taking care of laundry, our staff elevates your stay, making you feel like a VIP.

In this haven, privacy, luxury, attentive service, and an unbeatable location converge to offer an experience that exceeds expectations. Welcome to a world where every detail is designed to make you feel rich, famous, and thoroughly indulged.
