This home is beautiful, well kept and maintained, and located within walking distance to the beach (5 minutes) and Playa del Carmen. The owner, Gary, is extremely helpful, knowledgeable about the area (many terrific recommendations), and willing to assist in any way he can to make your stay enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed Casa Tranquilino (appropriately named) and will undoubtedly return. Five stars, unconditionally recommended

Our family of 9 (2 adults and 7 'kids' ages 17-27) spent an amazing week at this house! The home is every bit as beautiful as the photos display, with many gorgeous extra touches sprinkled throughout. We had plenty of room to relax and spread out when we wanted to. We also enjoyed gathering together for our nightly pre-dinner happy hours on the swings at our private outdoor poolside palapa bar with a TV. The kitchen afforded plenty of space for us to all enjoy a meal together, as well! Location: Safe and clean neighborhood. End of a cul-de-sac. About a mile walk (can walk on beach or sidewalk) to ALL the action of shops and restaurants on Fifth Avenue. You could also walk a half mile the other direction for a cute little shopping area. It was about a 5 minute walk through the neighborhood to get to the beach at the ocean :) Communal tennis courts and swimming pool were a few lots away from our front door. I cannot underscore enough how safe we felt walking around or going for a solo jog. Playacar is a comfortable upscale neighborhood. House: Everything we could possibly have needed, was provided. Beds were comfortable. House was kept very clean and housekeeper appeared daily. Washer and dryer were provided! Air conditioning worked perfectly. Hot showers never ran out of hot water (for 9 of us always showering in a narrow timeframe! ). Towels were of superior quality. Fixtures throughout the home were upscale. Showers were amazing with multiple heads spraying water. What do they provide: Pretty much anything you would need to make your stay more comfortable. The most comfortable lawn chairs (like backpacks), so easy to wear on your walk down to the beach. Beach towels. Cooler. Snorkel stuff. What else: Gary and Eva are pros at anticipating your needs and making sure you have an enjoyable stay. We arranged many things via email prior to our arrival through them. Diving. Fishing. Groceries. Excursions. Transportation. We already miss Gary and Eva, especially Eva's delicious cooking. Eva prepared a traditional Mexican breakfast for our family, and made us fresh guac and salsa daily! She also cooked all the fish the guys caught on their fishing trip and it was delicious! Gary and Eva really spoiled us and it was delightful!

Casa Tranquilino far exceeded our expectations. The pictures of the listing are accurate and the hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming. When it says 2 blocks from the beach, they really mean it! The gated community was quiet and peaceful, yet close to everything that Playa Del Carmen has to offer. We felt at home here and would come back in a heartbeat. I will be recommending this place to anyone visiting the area - stay here or wish you did!

My stay at Casa Tranquilino was seriously amazing! Communication with the owners Gary and Eva was great from the very start. Thank you to both of you! My family and I stayed for 9 nights and it was truly a sweet experience. The home is stunning and so clean! Very elegant yet cozy. Ok, so these are my favorite accommodations this home offers: elevator (my mom has bad knees so that was great), the house maid (super sweet, cooks amazing and was super profesional) towels, towels, towels (for beach and bath), backpack beach chairs and beach gear, gorgeous pool and fully equipped patio with fridge and stove - and of course the location was just perfect. It seriously took one min to walk to the beach (which was amazing as well) and it's close to the downtown area so getting to all the tourist spots was super easy and convenient. The house is in a private area so I felt safe and worry free the entire time. Super thankful for Casa Tranquilino. I'm so rested and happy after my amazing stay there! Thanks again to owners Gary and Eva!

My wife and two kids stayed at this beautiful and luxurious home in May 2017. The home is beautiful, spacious, very well furnished and equipped with new appliances. The description and pictures are extremely accurate but can't describe how wonderful this home actually is. Comfortable and cozy, safe and secure, minutes walk to the beach, dining, shopping, activities or just plain strolling along Playa's 5th Avenue. This home was a large part of what was a great vacation for all of us. Also, the owners bent over backwards to make our vacation a most memorable experience and much love and thanks go out to the owners Gary and Eva We would rent it again, again and again. You won't be disappointed.

Casa Tranquilino is true to its name; peaceful and tranquil. The home is in a gorgeous upscale, gated neighborhood located in Playacar Phase II. Only two short blocks and easy access from a highly desirable beach. We noticed upon entering the home that it was as advertised plus even more to offer. The pictures on Home Away website are current and what you see is what you get. We ate-in, delicious meals prepared by staff as well as ate-out at fantastic local restaurants. Shopping, dining and beach fun are all a short walk away from Casa Tranquiino. We appreciate all the conveniences this custom home has to offer such as the large bath and beach towels, comfortable memory foam beds, new soft linens and all the extra amenities available (i.e. snorkel masks & fins, beach chairs, etc.). The home's modern architectural features, high-end artwork and appointments, create a warm and desirable accommodation. We felt safe and welcomed in Casa Tranquilino & highly recommend the home for your best choice in accommodations available in Playa. Enjoy! Larry & Teri Placerville, CA
