Wow! Location! Luxury, Across Beach, Pool, Gated, Tropical. Close to action.

Fabulous location! Walking distance to everything.... town, beach, pool and golf! No car needed. Place has everything you need. Charming and clean. Great experience for adults and children. Highly recommended! Thanks for sharing this place with us again.

This property is as advertised with everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. It is clean and exceptionally well located. Two minutes and you are in the Playacar beach; 5 minutes to all of downtown. Quiet at night, but steps to everything! We only had a few questions, but responses from Marie we’re fast and helpful. Highly recommend!

Just home from 10 perfect days at Casa Sonrisas! Our family of 4, 2 adults and 2 teens visited over New Years. We have stayed in Playa del Carmen and Playacar multiple times but this location was perfect. Steps to a beautiful white sand beach and a couple short blocks from all the restaurants and night life you could want. Walking distance to large grocery stores too. Condo was larger than I expected. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms nicely renovated and pool area was peaceful. Our favorite feature was the large wrap around deck where we spent most of our home time. Owners were easily accessible by email and responded quickly when needed. Thank you Caren and Marie for a wonderful vacation! Hope to see you again.

Where to begin!? Marie was super helpful with pre-arrival info and was quick to allow us to drop off groceries and bags as soon as the previous renters were out. The house was spotless when we arrived. Tons of extra towels and sheets, beach towels. Kitchen has everything you need, including a bunch of spices, oil, and so on. Beds were super comfortable, AC was great for the occasional breeze-free day. Living space was everything you need: big TV, fast internet, well lit, comfortable couch, movies and books. Both bedrooms were special in their own ways. One opening onto a massive porch next to the pool with a full outdoor living room feel. The other opening onto the other massive porch overlooking the Mayan ruins and park with small views and sounds of the sea. We were with three kids under 5 and it was perfect. Marie dropped off a pack and play which we set up in the pool bedroom bathroom so the baby could nap while everyone else had fun. The two older kids each took a bed in the park facing room. Other notable perks: Three minute walk to the public access point to the beach, five minute walk to the start of 5th avenue shopping and dining. Perfectly maintained pool with both sun and shade, plenty of lounge chairs, a shallow end for kids. Four nice beach chairs and a really nice umbrella. Full-sized washer and dryer that both work great. Tons of parking if you have a car (which you really don't need unless your kids make you take them to the crocodile zoo twice in 10 days). Security guard booth just down the road with the same friendly faces every day, and frequent walk and drive bys of the area after dark. What a place! We'll be back!! Thanks Marie!
