  This house is perfect for two families, we had 4 adults and 4 children and the house was a great fit. Very close to the beach and amazing views from the rooftop. We have stayed in this neighborhood for the past 4 years (the last three were across the stree). Safe, quiet and comfortable, but very close to all the action on 5th Avenue. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

  Casa Pescado Blanco is a great home for a large family or two families. We loved it because we were able to spend time on the beach or by the pool. The pool is bigger than the pictures show but it is very deep and not ideal for small kids. There is a shallow area but it drops off and has very little pool deck. This is the only part I didn't love about the house. The 3rd floor roof deck was perfect for windy afternoons when the beach was too cool. It was also great for evening cocktails and stargazing. The kitchen is adequate for cooking small meals but isn't the best for large meals. The beds were comfortable which can be an issue in Mexico! The bathrooms were also very nice. The owner and caretaker were both very helpful to us. Being within walking distance to both the beach and town is a must for us and this house is perfect for both. They also have the best beach chairs and beach toys.

  Owner response: Thank you for response...the pool is actually about 5 feet deep in the deep end and the shallow is about 1 1/2 feet...I will make sure that for further guests, Julian makes sure the divider rope is up for those with small children...the pool is also chemical free...it uses a copper ionization system...the kitchen has full size modern equipment, but it does not have the space for a lot of "cooks"....the grill on the large rooftop is where I prefer to do most of the cooking when i am there....Thanks again!!

  Very nice! Only one block from the ocean, yet you can sit on the oversized roof enjoying the sun and have a view of the ocean. Home is conveniently located within walking distance of downtown Playa del Carmen and is very comfortable & clean with good support staff. All rooms having good air conditioning is a plus; as is the ability to grill on the roof top while enjoying the view with family or friends. Property is in gated community and secure so you can walk around feeling safe.

  Owner response: we are very pleased that all went well with stay!

  If you want to get the ultimate Playa Del Carmen Experience, I would recomend you stay at Pescada Blanca Casa. This place is really convenient to all of Playa Del Carmen and you do not need a car while on vacation as everything is within walking distance. You have 4 bedrooms, a nice kitchen/living room area and the roof top is the highlight as it is very large and you can see the ocean. Ocean and beach within 100 feet of the home and easy to access. Located in nice private area and Julian, the housekeeper will get you anything you need. All food and entertainment within 5 minutes walking. Great home and great hospitality.

  02/13/12 Positive Our family of 7 adults and 2 young children had a wonderful vacation at Casa de la Pescada Blanca. The house was perfect for a large family, steps from the gorgeous beach and a short walk from the town. The house was well maintained by Julian and the house keepers. Julian arranged for all the grocery shopping and we had some great meals cooked to order by a lovely cook. The meals were served to us by the cook's family members and were modestly priced. A perfect solution for a family with young children. We'll be back! Dorit Raviv, Chicago, Illinois

  02/10/2012 We love it here in Playa and at this house! The location is perfect for us. The view is spectacular from the balcony and the roof top deck. We have our grandchildren with us and it is perfect going to the beach with them - they can run home if they need to. Also, the walk into town is so short! We love the staff - Julian is so helpful and the cleaning ladies are great. Forget a hotel!! Go Pescada Blanca! ALSO, Scott is great to deal with! Anonymous, Lake Forest, IL Positive

  02/10/12 Positive Casa De La Pescada Blanca is always an excellent house to stay in. I stayed there three times and it is always great. The house is super clean and well maintained. The staff, Julian and cleaning ladies are always great. It is super close to town and the beach. Heads above staying in a hotel. A hotel should not even be considered if you have the chance to stay in this wonderful house. Zack Levitt, bellaire 7138189815

  02/10/12 Positive We were able to postpone our trip one week and avoid the hurricane. It sure did not take the place long to recover. Any damage was obviously quickly repaired and you'd hardly know they went through a bad storm. Weather was perfect, people were friendly, and it was nice to be treated like VIPs when we went to the places recommended by the owners...preferred seating, service, etc. Location of this beautiful place to the main town could not have been better. I think we took a cab, maybe once or twice in 5 days. Always felt very safe walking, even late at night. Whether you want to party all night long or just relax, rest and enjoy a good book, I would suggest you 'give-it-a-try'. Jon, Twin Cities, MN 952-500-9850

  This house is a bit ackward and not what you expect based on the photos and description in the ad. First of all, the main room is on the second floor meaning that when you enter the home you are greeted by a dark hallway and stairways. The pool is miniscule and right on the street for everyone to gawk. The rooftop terrace that is highlighted as the property's - and playa del carmen's- gem was dirty. The cushions were ripped, the table didn't have legs, the BBQ was dirty in a corner with plastic ties that made it impossible to use. However, the view was nice. It felt like an older home that needed updating and a major cleaning.

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, pet owners.

  Owner response: we have a full walk through tour of the house...the main room is up the stairs (as the house is a two story house and the views are much better from the second floor) as for the dark hallway, there are light switches on both the top and bottom of stairway (during the daytime, it is great-white ceramic tiles for floor and wall painted white...this is a corner house and the pool wraps around the front of it (when we bought house and put pool in, we used 95% of the space have pool built-even put in a sit in bar overlooking caribbean Sea and have the only non-chlorine system in Playa-4 foot deep on larger portion and 2 foot deep area for kids) pool is located on a cobblestone street in a gated community with very little traffic and has a view of the Carribean Sea...the seams of the rooftop cusions have recently come apart due to the sun and are in the process of being replaced (they are custom size, and takes time to have made...the table does have legs (not the tradition four corner legs), it has two pedistals-(not sure what guest is saying here)..the grill is on the back of the rooftop and is stainless steel gas grill(2 years old), with the house being so close to the sea saltwater, the outside of the grill tends to get spots on it that look like rust...they are non removable...as for the older home? the house has all new appliances, new furniture, new beds - with 500 count egyption cotton sheets, new Air Conditioners (as a matter of fact-while guests were down there, one room AC unit went out and Julian (house Manager replaced it next AM)...the house is large white tile - Mexico style with 12 inch poured concrete walls...it gives you the Mexico feel, with all the luxury of moderness... This guest also negotiated a price due to it being her wedding, tried cancelling within 30 days of booking..I then looked for other guests to replace her time...then changed her mind, then also got extended time due to her "money issues" and just getting married...so I am dumbfounded at her posts.... Sincerely, Scott Uram
