About this property

Welcome to the best strip of beach in Playa Del Carmen. Villa Ensueno is a fully equipped 5 bedroom plus separate casita only 5 houses from the beach. The famous 5th Avenue is a 15 minute walk to the best shopping and restaurants in the Mayan Riviera. Now over 1,000 restaurants! If you don't want to walk, taxis pass by every minute or two at the entrance to our street. We have room for several cars in the private driveway. The home is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the gated community of Playacar, only a block from the Playacar golf course. The entrance to the community is guarded and we have security patrolling the streets 24 hours a day.

The beach by the house is set amongst multi million dollar houses and is a great place for kids and adults to play in the sand. Walk along the beach for 15 minutes or so towards town and Senior Frogs is there and the start of 5th avenue.

Each of the 4 queen bed main bedrooms on the upper floor has its own ensuite and shower. Off the kitchen on the main floor is the 5th main house bedroom with double bed and full ensuite. Steps from the back door is our separate guest house called the casita. It has a double bunk bed and full ensuite on the second floor. All rooms have air conditioning and recently upgraded mattresses.

The grand dining room has enough to seat 10 along with the fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen was renovated with granite counters and new appliances. We have satellite TV and free WIFI in the house if you need to stay connected.

An infinity pool with waterfall plus private backyard patios and palapa area. Solar heated as well. Plus we have a large community pool if you want to do laps and a tennis court steps from the back door shared by only 3 streets.

We have a full time person to cook your group breakfast and clean Monday to Saturday and she will even do your laundry before you leave if you like! Arrive home as you left. A gardener comes Monday to Saturday as well to check the pool and clean the grounds.

We have the best location and size home in the area.

Also keep your eyes up in the backyard, we have a resident monkey who is elusive but does like to make the occasional appearance high in the trees!

We have a local English and Spanish speaking management company who will ensure every step of your vacation is a success. From communication of all the steps to arrival at the home, taking a secure payment, and having maintenance staff available for immediate resolution of any issues.

We are a Canadian family living in the U.S. and fell in love with the area the first time visited Playa Del Carmen. We bought the home to create memories for our children and hope you join us creating special ones for yours.

Great family get away

The property was clean and well kept. It’s a vigorous walk into town for some older folks but doable. The air conditioning in each bedroom was a god send. Very much a family type atmosphere. Alma was great to work with, we loved having her there. We will be back.

Well…it was okay- but not fantastic.

As much as we want to give a higher rating- the best we can offer is 3.5/5. Our friend group visits Riviera Maya each year and this is about our tenth year renting VRBO’s. Overall, this is not one we would return to or recommend. There are others we liked a lot better. The positives: The house is nicely furnished and the pool is beautiful. There are beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach towels available. The caretakers were here almost daily, were very polite, and did a nice job. The neutrals: The communication was all through what’s app and google translation This house has many levels and not for anyone with ambulatory concerns. Including the trail to the beach. It’s a bit farther than a short walk and is not flat terrain, although, there are other paths you can take to get to the beach. There are a lot of keys and different codes for doors/gates. The outside pool seating area is quite small for the size of the house, although there are lots of separate places to gather. The negatives: The lock on a side door near the kitchen was difficult to close and lock. 2 of the bedroom en-suite toilets did not flush and were not usable. There wasn’t hot water for showers, except one. The dishwasher and oven were not functioning during our stay. If any food was not sealed in its original packaging, it attracted numerous large ants and one morning we woke to a couple of dead roaches on the kitchen floor. The bathrooms had minimal number of towels and they were very thin/worn.

Playacar

Location was awesome for both the beach and downtown, found the information booklet provided, which is in both English and Spanish was an awesome resource. Any issues we did have were dealt with very quickly. Alma our maid was very amazing and thorough and easy to work with. Any questions we had were promptly answered by the owner. Our family of thirteen had an awesome family vacation at this residence and we would highly recommend this property.

Owner awesome to deal with.

We were 6 adults that stayed in this lovely home for two weeks. The area is beautiful, so well kept. Alma was fabulous, doing all she could to make our time there relaxing and pleasurable, happy and willing to help however she could. The kitchen was well stocked, pots were wonderful to cook with, we found mostly all we needed, only thing I can think of would be to replace the rubber spatula and salad spinner. House was kept very clean, pool cleaned consistently. Great lawn chairs to take to beach, and owner sent in beach umbrella when we asked if one there. The transport service JF Tours that Owner recommends was great, we used them for all out transfers, and their response time was quick and efficient. Furniture good, beds comfy, we weren’t lacking anything. My thanks to the owner Gordon, who is very caring and responsive, was a good vacation. Sam Bishop

About the host

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Playa Del Carmen and the Playacar gated community. The proximity to the beach, town, golf and 5th Avenue drew us to the area. The home is spacious with everything you need to make this a special family vacation. We love the privacy of the jungle back yard yet we are close to everything anyone could want in a vacation.
