Antoinette Levine purchased this condo in 2003

Why Antoinette Levine chose Gonzalo Guerrero

Welcome to Paradise! I bought this property because I LOVED its ideal location. Secondly, because of the complexes sanctuary-like garden pool courtyard and our three level building's Italian-influenced architecture. Very unique and classic in the best of ways. A stand out gem---particularly with the over-developed amount of cement and glass complexes. I was looking for a second home, where scuba diving is abundant. A property with a future value and worth that would hold its own. It has! La Coccinella, our complexes name, was so unique, compared to most other properties in 2003. There was nothing else like it! And it has retained its beauty and original features as Playa del Carmen grew up all around us. La Coccinella stands out as an architectural gem in the midst of a more modernized town. Its captivating appeal, attracted tourist into our courtyard so often that we ( the condo owners) invested in artisan crafted metal-work gates. That secure our two private gateway entrances, Calle 28 and Calle 30. I fell in love with our lush garden/pool courtyard that continues to flourish. As well as the signature yellow coloring of the two three-story/6-units each buildings. A boutique twelve condo complex. And I can't wait (but will because it'll be very soon!) for my next visit to stay in my own little unique piece of paradise! ;-D

What makes this condo unique

Location indeed... Our garden courtyard continues to be a flyway stop for a variety of migrating birds. Unique in their coloring:, red and yellow and blue plumage, these rare birds occasionally take temporary refugee in our garden's trees. When lucky enough to have a sighting I again give thanks for being a steward of this sanctuary-like property. The view out of my living room's floor-to-ceiling double doors, particularly at night, continues to delight me. Our pool lights glow and illuminate the crystal clear pool water. Tinted light blue by the pool walls reflection. Gorgeous. I've often sat outside on my beautifully tiled front steps just to take it all in. Sometimes glancing up at the star lit sky. Or a Full Moon . . . This home is a magical gift that continues to give me great joy after 16 years of ownership. I feel lucky and very blessed to have been guided to this very special place. Waking in the morning to birds chirping, calls me to rise and head to the quietness of the sandy beach. Walking is a favorite exercise for me, so heading to the beach or the empty avenues and streets of Playa are always a favorite way to begin each day. Often to return home and jump in the pool for a few laps and water yoga. Then a scrumptious breakfast at my patio umbrella shaded setting. If it's an excursion day, I feel fortunate to have an off-street parking spot. With a rental car waiting just outside the Calle 28th gate. I usually head south, toward cenotes, Akumal, Tulum beaches---and though it's been a while, as far as Majahual. Looking forward to going there again soon!! Or west, to catch the ferry over to Isla Holbox, out of the tiny town of Chiquilá. Playa del Carmen is truly the perfect home-base. I've grown accustomed to enjoying my home-away-from-home. With all of its truly unique benefits! I believe YOU will too!
