About this apartment rental
Summary:
Beachfront 2-bedroom condo on Calle 4, located between the beach and Quinta Avenida in the heart of downtown Playa del Carmen. Wake up to ocean views from your private balcony, walk straight to the sand, and have restaurants, nightlife, shops, and beach clubs. Around a 10-min walk to the ADO Bus Terminal and close to colectivos for easy day trips to Tulum, cenotes, and more. Ideal for travelers who want the beach, local energy, and everything within walking distance.
The Space:
The best part about this condo? You’re steps from the beach, and you can actually see the ocean from your balcony. Open the sliding doors in the morning, grab a coffee, and start your day with the sea breeze before heading out to explore Playa.
Inside, the space is simple, comfortable, and made for travelers who care more about location than unnecessary luxury, giving the whole space an open beachside feel.
- 2 Bedrooms, one queen and one double, both with AC to keep cool after a day in the Caribbean sun
- The living room gets plenty of natural light and opens directly onto the balcony
- Dining table for four

Great location. We enjoyed the condo. It was very comfortable.
8 / 10Excellent·Feb 2025
We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was very clean and in a fantastic location!! We did have a really hard time with the check-in process. The check-in instructions indicated to look for the "Condo Zaci" building however there were no markings or numbers on the building whatsoever. We had to ask nearby business people and nobody heard of it so we had to fumble our way to find proper building. The lockbox holding the keys was suppose to be marked "Stella" however there were no markings on the correct lockbox. Once inside the condo, there was a safe in each bedroom. One was full of rust and had no key to unlock, the other was push button however the code to unlock was not included in the check-in instructions. The listing for this condo indicated that there was an outdoor BBQ. After check in we were told there was no BBQ available at this property. We also found that the kitchen was understocked (1 dish cloth, 1 tea towel, dull knives, 1 frying pan, no large bowls, no amenities whatsoever including coffee filters!?!). These things can easily be rectified and it would make a huge difference for someone's stay. The few issues we did have, the representative from Stella Rentals (Angel) was very quick to respond and at the end of our stay, offered a late check out without charge which was really appreciated!!We would definitely stay at this condo again and highly recommend it for those looking for an enjoyable vacation.Wendi & Brian G.Canada

The space is ideal for someone wanting to be steps from the beach and steps from the main strip (5th Street) since it was tucked 1/2 between both. It was clean and we were provided with plenty of beach towels and bath towels; however, I was shocked to find out that wash rags for bathing were not provided (so be sure to pack some for your stay here!)

Noise:
The listing does mention there will be noise due to location and many reviews mentioned the club next door. I was expecting noise when booked and was pleasantly surprised it wasn’t that bad. Queen bed room is the noisiest and the double bed room is more quiet. I was able to sleep easily in the double bed room and white noise played on my phone helped me sleep in the queen room.
Location:
Perfect for beach access and right off of fifth ave. The ferry is super close as is the ADO bus station. Loved the location.
Water:
The water shut off several times during our stay. We were unable to use the toilet or shower during these times which is inconvenient when covered in sand/sunblock. I messaged the concierge but didn’t get much help or explanation from her as to why the water was shut off. We did stay during a tropical storm but no other spots had water issues in the area.
Shower:
Low water pressure and it takes a long time to warm up so either be patient or be ready for cold showers.
Neighbor:
There is a man that lives next door. He constantly moaned, coughed, and called out for help at all hours of the day/night. It is loud and woke us up several times when staying in the queen bedroom (closest to his unit). On the first night we approached him asking if he needed help in which he replied no and tried to enter our unit. He seems harmless but be wary. We were a group of girls and felt mostly safe other than that initial interaction.
