Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Playacar

The place is very quiet, safe and very close to all the entertainment places you can look for in Playa del Carmen. The hospitality that Claudia provides is unparalleled, always very attentive. We are grateful for all the attention she gave us and the very good recommendations she made. In short, we will return, because it made us feel not only that we were at home but that it made us feel as if we were someone in his family.

Gustavo's place was just what we needed. Don't expect 5-star service, rather authentic Mexican living in an amazing place with 5 different outdoor locations to chill. There are leaves (it's a jungle paradise), and be careful for occasional branch that may fall. It's beautiful, serene, peaceful. There were also some bugs in the back (but it's a jungle paradise and we were there in May); one of the many terraces has a bug curtain that helps manage that. It's shady in the back, full sun on the shared rooftop (we didn't see anyone else up there). It's not a tourist neighborhood FYI! I've been to Playa del Carmen 4 different times, and this place was the best! Also the best local food close-by. So relaxing, and so many birds that sing all day! We spent most of the time in the casa. Pool has to be skimmed (the yard's greenery is spectacular -> leaves), but Gustavo is very responsive and helped run the filter mid-week as well. Gustavo speaks Spanish, use Google Translate if you need it.

If I had to pick one feature about the place - that would be location: 5 minutes walking from the beach, in a quiet security-protected community [ don't forget your wrist band !! :) ], 15 minutes from the nearest restaurants on the 5th Avenue. Taxi was easy to catch at the Riu hotel (opposite side of the street, 5 minutes walk) - prices are listed upfront, drivers accept credit cards (10% extra charge is listed too). So, no surprises. The townhome is not brand new, but clean; equipment (washer/dryer/gas stove ...) work fine. We, family of 4 = 2 adults + 2 kids (13 & 15yo) used pool a lot around noon - nobody was there most of the time. HVAC cooled the bedrooms on the 2nd floor better when the fan was set to low or medium - not to hi (a bit counterintuitive, so thanks to host for help with that). Very good mattresses (usually it is an issue for us). 3 beach chairs and 2 umbrellas are available behind small doors under the stairs (1st floor). A bottle of wine was waiting for us - nice!

The directions are very clear, the house is identical to the photos and are very attentive to messages

Excellent stay at home, everything extremely clean, as in the description of the publication. I would definitely come back

We enjoyed our stay and appreciate the response when there was an issue with the shower head.

House as described, recommended

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Mariposa. The house was clean and well maintained, and the location was perfect, close to the beach and downtown Playa. What really stood out was the excellent service. Jasmin and Edson were responsive and accommodating prior to our arrival, and the concierge (Mauricio) was especially helpful during our stay—always available to assist with anything we needed. We would absolutely stay here again, and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Playa. Thanks again to Mauricio and the staff for making our trip truly enjoyable.

We had a fantastic stay at Gomez’s place! The apartment was spacious, spotless, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The host was incredibly friendly and responsive throughout our stay, which made everything easy and stress-free. We especially loved the tennis courts and the beautiful views — it truly felt like a vacation. There were fans throughout the space, and you could open the windows to let the lovely breeze in. The bed was super comfortable, and the location was ideal — close enough to walk to everything, but tucked away from the main drag so it was peaceful at night. The pool was empty most of the time so we practically had it to ourselves, and the security team was always around, friendly, and made the area feel very safe. Having a designated parking spot right out front was a huge plus, especially when we rented a car for day trips. Would absolutely stay here again!

The apartment is great, very comfortable and just like the photos. The location is perfect if you plan to visit the Xcaret parks. We will definitely stay at this place again.

This is my 2nd time staying here (February 2025-March 2025 and May 2025-June 2025). This has officially become my go-to AirBnB in PDC! Highly recommend!

Very good condo, very clean and beautiful view of the city and beach!!

Very nice stay, in fact nicer than in the photos, Mary was always attentive to us, giving us quite useful instructions, there is an Oxxo and supermarket nearby, although you need transportation to get to Quinta Av. easily.

A very nice apartment, very conveniently located, behind the street is the ADO Alterna station, a CircleK about 10 meters away, two blocks from the beach, downtown, super comfortable place, a great place we would definitely return to, highly recommended. Miguel was kind and attentive with the directions for check-in and check-out. Everything was a 10.

Everything was very good, the apartment was clean, comfortable, the terrace and the pool were very relaxing to spend the afternoon. We only had a few problems at check-in with the access key, but then we talked to the host and he solved it by giving us a door number

Great place to stay and great host. I will be looking to rent from them again in the future.

Very nice apartment, excellent pool, super location, Martin is friendly and always willing to answer questions, I recommend it!

Great accommodation with a private hot tub, the penthouse is like the photos. The street was under construction and we didn't have access to parking. The host refunded us the amount we paid to park. This was greatly appreciated even though it was out of his control. The host was very responsive and responded quickly. I highly recommend it!!!

For our first AIRBNB, very satisfied, the accommodation was perfect, pool and proximity to the city excellent, the beach left something to be desired because of the algae, I would go back without hesitation, thank you Lucero

Miguel’s place was perfect! Beach right outside and 5th ave and all its shops and liveliness super close. It’s a very walkable neighborhood! I would definitely stay here again. Also Miguel was very helpful with arranging airport transport.

We had a great vacation in Dovile's apartment. We were 2 adults and 2 small children (1 and 4 years old). Dovile kindly provided a cot and a highchair. The apartment has a great layout - the bedrooms are separated from the living room by a corridor. The terrace became our favorite place, where we spent a lot of time and often cooked food using the gas grill (Weber). The Vaiven Del Viento complex itself is very calm and peaceful. We will be happy to come back here again.

great place to stay. highly recommend

Very nice and clean. Very close to attractions, beach 5 min walk and local Walmart 14 min walk. Outside patio and plunge pool was a great added touch. Also, a little bar next door to the condo building. Only downside was I wish the bed was more comfortable.

We were greeted with a super clean, organized apartment and with all the amenities to have an extremely comfortable experience. The access instructions were perfect, the atmosphere was private and quiet. We were able to rest and enjoy Playa del Carmen. I especially thank Lupita, with whom I had direct communication, for her warmth, communication and resolution. We'll be back 😊
