Great Location - Just steps from Mamitas Beach and Fifth Avenue ~ Special Rates

Our Condo Buena Vida at Las Olas is in the perfect location for a vacation get-a-way; set between Playa del Carmen’s most famous beach and vibrant international sidewalk scene. A mere half block from Las Olas, Playa’s Fifth Avenue pedestrian promenade beckons with relaxed cafes and gourmet restaurants, exclusive lounges, and al fresco bars, intriguing boutiques and local purveyors of all types and variety. It is also only 200 meters from the Caribbean beach. Relax at Mamitas Beach Club or Kool's Club - the most popular and hip beaches in Playa del Carmen. Swim in the beautiful warm Caribbean water and enjoy the view. If a swimming pool is more to your liking, guests of Las Olas get a 100 peso discount to rent a lounge and umbrella for the day and use of the pool at Kool's Beach Club. Even better, the fee goes toward your food and drinks! When you tire of the sun, your Las Olas home is only a few minutes away. Our guests also get a discount to spend the day at Mamitas Beach club. Pool, sand and the Caribbean - the perfect combination.
A further, more private option is to visit the roof-top pool and spa next door at The Reef Hotel. For 300 pesos, you have access to everything including infinity pool, towels, showers, hot tubs, gym and restaurant, and the cost goes toward food and beverage. The view is spectacular!
Condo Buena Vida has 1150 square feet of living space with unusually high 12 foot ceilings. Our condo is spacious and a rare find in Playa del Carmen. Tile floor extends onto the private outdoor terrace where one can dine and relax in the fresh breeze from the ocean. It is fully furnished with two spacious air-conditioned bedrooms each with King Beds, recently upgraded full bathrooms and walk-in tiled showers. You will also find a fully equipped chef's kitchen with granite counter tops, a separate laundry room, original paintings and many other fine details to provide quality and international style. Even the terrace is furnished for outdoor comfort and dining. Condo Buena Vida is safe and secure on the second floor of Las Olas with a full time security guard and a property manager to look after all your needs.
Playa Del Carmen is a vibrant growing community. This is your chance to stay in a fully equipped condo close to the beach and all the amenities in a prime location. Blessed with perennially sunny skies and a mild climate, Playa prides itself on a relaxing open-air, pedestrian lifestyle. It’s a place to recharge your batteries, find your adventurous side or spend an afternoon happily exploring the finer points of doing absolutely nothing at all. Playa provides a vibrant variety of natural and multicultural experiences any time of year. When the sun rises over the sparkling turquoise waters of the Caribbean it all comes to life. First-rate golf, esteemed spas, fine outdoors dining and an internationally acclaimed nightlife – the options of experiencing Playa Del Carmen are truly limitless.

Nice condo with great location between 5th and the beach
Communication with the owners was easy and they quickly responded. Locating and getting into the unit was easy, and as described. The unit was immaculately clean, which was greatly appreciated. My friend and I liked the location, but the music from the two nightclubs just a few steps from the building was over the top loud, one night until 3 a.m, on other nights they quit about 1:00. Double ear pugs worked fairly well for a good nights sleep. The first bedroom was very lit up by a streetlight, so bring an eye mask, too. The unit’s kitchen had everything needed to cook meals except some oil/spray. I was never able to locate the hair dryer which was listed as present, but no big deal. I used the washer/dryer, and they worked well; I met my husband later for another week, so having the W/D was a nice amenity. The balcony was fun for people watching and enjoying the cool mornings. There are a couple pharmacies and a 7/11 just steps from the building, and they carry all the things you might need or forgot.

Fantastic vacation spot
Everything was wonderful during our two week stay at Las Olas! Ir is very close to two bars with loud music, but the bedrooms were reasonably quiet for sleep. We love to "people watch", so the balcony views entertained us.. whenever we felt like a diversion from the TV, etc. Close to the beach and about two blocks from Chedraui Super store! Thank you so much for an incredible stay! ..we hated to leave..

We had a wonderful time! The location is great! The well-equipped condo is minutes from a beautiful beach and 5th Avenue. There is an excellent grocery store nearby, as well as many restaurants and live entertainment options. We especially enjoyed the spacious balcony and having access to beach chairs and an umbrella. There was good communication with the host and the property manager. The area around the condo felt very safe. It was an easy walk to the ADO bus terminal that has a direct bus to the airport (for 250 pesos). A great experience overall!

Great location and property
If you are looking for a rental for 2 couples or a family, this is a perfect property. Pros: close proximity to beach Very close to 5th Avenue restaurants and stores Nicely decorated Washer/dryer Beach chairs and umbrellas!!! Good WiFi 2 en suite bathrooms Next to taxi stand if you need a ride Cons: Loud music due to proximity of 5th Ave if you are a light sleeper, or pack ear plugs. No toiletries so pack accordingly (there is a large market a few blocks down on 34th & 10thAve that has anything you would need) No elevator to second floor so be aware if you have issues with steps No pool or sun deck -You will need to pay to use other pool areas close by Low water pressure in one bathroom shower (the other shower was fine) Overall I would rent here again if staying in Playa Del Carmen. Ross let us arrive at condo early since no one was staying prior to our arrival. He immediately communicated with us and everything was extremely easy. Trevor stopped by and checked in as well.

Great condo with awesome location in Playa
The condo was very comfortable for 2 adults and 2 older kids for 4 nights. It's nicely situated just minutes from the beach and right next to the main walking street. We visited a number of good restaurants and shops within a few minutes walk. The area is vibrant and at times the different music from the street can be loud, but we closed windows/doors and ran AC at night and were able to sleep without problems. The condo has a nice balcony. The property manager was very responsive and helpful too.

Just what we needed!
This property was exactly as presented. Location was in the middle of all our favorite places in Playa. The pace in the condo allowed for us to enjoy time in the living room chatting and watching movies and also had lots of space for privacy. I loved sitting on the balcony and eating while people watching. There was some noise in the evening which could be a problem for getting kids too sleep but was not a real problem for us. I will keep this condo in my favorites for future rental. Thanks for sharing your home with us it was just what we needed!

Good place, good location. Steps away from the beach and 5th street. Only a couple of issues we had with the property. Water pressure/ flow in the master bedroom shower was very disappointing. It was hard to take showers. The lights in the balcony didn't work. Never met the property manager. We had a great time in playa del carmen though

Amazing location and amenities!
We stayed 2 weeks here! Amazing location, 2 blocks from the absolute best beach in Playa and one block from Quinta Avenida! Our stay was absolutely comfortable and the local property manager was always available for any help we needed. We were entertained having dinner on the patio by music from the bar next door or the restaurants across the street or the guys playing on the corner to the diners across the street. Truly I would recommend this condo unless you have very young children that need to go to bed early, the music is a little loud. Thank you so much Ross and Lori! We will look you up next time we come to Playa for sure!

Lovely condo.
The entire process was seamless. Ross & Lori were very accommodating in that we had to re-book after postponing our November wedding due to Covid. The condo is very comfortable and was stocked with everything we needed. The only downside was the loud music from a couple of bars nearby but with the bedrooms toward the back, it really wasn’t too bad. Thank you to Ross & Lori and property manager Travis for the congratulatory flowers and wine. It was so thoughtful and made our day!

Super host, indeed!
I want to first talk about the property itself. Ross& Lori and Trevor were all amazing in their communication with myself and my husband. I would stay at any other property that they owned/ managed in a heartbeat! The condo was clean, the kitchen had EVERYTHING we needed to make breakfast, lunch or dinner every day were there. Netflix movies on the larger screen tv were nice for down time as was the nicely appointed, covered deck. We loved people watching! The washer & dryer were very handy and easy to use. Now, the not so good which Ross, Lori nor Trevor had ANY control over; it was very LOUD! There are 2 bars on the same street as the condo and they party until at least midnight most nights of the week. That would be the ONLY REASON I would not stay here again.

Everything we needed was taken care of. Ross was incredibly responsive and eager to be of service. The condo is located in more or less a perfect location where everything we wanted was in walking distance. The kitchen was fully stocked- we were even able to cook a great Christmas dinner. The beds were super comfortable. Overall, this was a great trip that we'll always remember. I highly recommend it.

So the condominium is walking distance from everything and parking was very convenient..we were there for Hurricane Zeta it was only supposed to be a tropical storm and we lost power for a few day requiring leaving early which a Tennant there said is rare to be without power over 24hrs so was not in anyone's control..the owners were very fair refunding a portion of our stay even though they cannot control the weather..the manager was very nice person as well..we never saw the pool so I'm unsure if one is on site..the wash machine needs balanced it shook like crazy but overall if you want to be close to shopping..restaurants..and beach this is a good choice..they also have beach and snorkel gear on site..

Only downside was the 3 bars next door that wouldn't stop blasting music even when we went down at 2am to turn it down. When in the bedroom though noise level Ok, depends how sensitive you are.

Great condo between Mamitas Beach and La Quinta!
Hard to beat the location in Little Italy. The condo is well laid out and well provisioned. We spent a great amount of time on the deck watching the parade of people to and from the beach. It was much fun. Plenty of restaurants and bars in the immediate area. It’s full of life. Especially want to thank Ross for being such a gracious host. Highly Recommend this rental.
