About Curt Henderson
I have owned and rented out homes in Mexico for the last 20 plus years. I have a passion for the country and the people and one-day plan on spending a large part of my retired time there. I have never had a guest show up at Casa Blanca that was not blown away at just how nice it is and how friendly the staff is.
Your complete mind blown 100% satisfaction is our mission statement. We have a 20 year in a row of 5-star guest reviews with more 5-star guest reviews than any other home in Playa. That does not happen by accident. I understand the leap of faith involved with renting a vacation home in a foreign country from a person you have never met. That combined with the pressure the person designated with the responsibility of finding the vacation home for the family or group of friends is under. So, we have done everything we can think of to remove the stress and help with this leap of faith.
When you request info about Casa Blanca Beach House you will receive a 16-page guest book with not only information about the house and neighborhood but it includes info about Playa del Carmen, restaurants, dive shops, transportation, local attractions, emergency phone numbers, local medical offices and pharmacies, photographers, wedding planners and pretty much everything else that has come up over the last 15 years.
You will be provided with the cell phone numbers of the house manager an me so you can call or text anytime and as often as you need if you have questions or need something. We put you first and are responsive at your convenience not ours.
We hope you will stay with us.
Curt Henderson purchased this house in 2003
Why Curt Henderson chose Quintana Roo
For the quality of the property and the convenience of the location.
This house was dramatically remodeled in 2016 and has USA/Canada custom quality accommodations and bathrooms. Every room of the house has air conditioning; this is not typical of most of the other homes available for rent in Playa.
The house is just 55 steps to the soft white sands of the Caribbean ocean and only a 5-minute walk to the famous 5th street in downtown Playa del Carmen.
What makes this house unique
Privacy and luxury come to mind first. It is a gated guarded neighborhood so you do not have the normal beach traffic. People cannot get into our neighborhood unless they belong there. The staff will make you feel like you are rich and famous. They do your Grocery shopping for you and laundry etc.
Guestbook comments from the owner

Reviews
VRBO Bear stayed here
Apr 28, 2017This VRBO bear stayed at the Casa Blanca beach house with family and friends to celebrate a special birthday. Everything about our stay was exceptional, and if I could rate the house and staff with more than 5 stars, I would! Casa Blanca itself is a stunning house, with 4 well-decorated, large bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a spacious living room and an updated kitchen. It is located in a private, safe and ideal location—right next to a semi-private beach, the Cozumel ferry port and all the 5th street action (food and bars). The house was truly incredible, but what made our stay extra special, was the staff. Curt, the owner of the house, was so accommodating, friendly and easy to communicate with and Alberto, the house manager was incredibly hospitable as well. We had arranged to have a chef come in the first night to cook a traditional Mexican meal, and the food and fresh margaritas were prepared when we arrived! We felt like celebrities as the staff welcomed us with open arms, served us in the house and provided us with such an incredible first impression of Mexico. There were also maids that came to the house every day to help clean and do our laundry, which was great considering we had such a large group! The remaining time at the house was perfect, as we frequently swam in the ocean, the private pool and BBQ’d in the backyard. Overall, I could not have wished for a better stay in Playa del Carmen—Curt, Alberto and the rest of the staff really went above and beyond to help plan the perfect vacation for my husband and our friends—and they succeeded. I would HIGHLY recommend Casa Blanca to anyone that is interested in a beautiful home with exceptional service.
Exceptional!

The best family vacation ever!
There should be an option for 10 stars!! What a special place this home is. First class with all the peacefulness of home. The location, the people, the accommodations were more then we could have imagined. Loved the space and set up of the home and enjoyed the private pool so much. It is true 52 steps to crystal blue waters with pure white warm sandy beach. A unknown slice of heaven I can't wait to go back too. Wow!!!!!
Girls Week at Casa Blanca
What a great place for a girls getaway! The house was great and was truly 50 steps from the beach. We were able to walk downtown to shop, eat, and drink. It was especially nice to have a maid and someone to get our groceries--we loved the fact that we didn't have to think about all those things like we do at home. It was a perfect getaway for us and I know we would love to do it again next year!!!
Beautiful, spacious house with great amenities
Drivers provided are great sources of information
Paradise in Playa del Carmen
We stayed at this resort house for 7 days with 8 people and it was the most amazing ever have ever had in Mexico. Definitely need more time at this house! Our driver Felipe with Rhino Tours picked us up at the airport first thing getting in the van he had servesas ready for us. He planned out days out to what we will be doing every day and picked us up in the am and drop us of at night. While we are gone we had the maid come and clean our house which was amazing, because we were parting so hard cleaning was not on our priority list. The house had everything we needed, pool, hot tub, AC in every room. Every room felt like a master bedroom because there was a huge bathroom attached to each and one of them, rooms had satellite TV. The house is next to the beach and next to downtown area, everything is within walking distance. We walked everywhere and just our own things, Starbucks near by, yes we needed lots of coffee in the AM. One thing make sure don't miss out is contacting Felipe the driver from Rhino Tours for this house and set up the initial pick up at the airport, this guy was so amazing we set up some tours for 5 days out the week that we were staying and he knew everyone around the area, we only did the things we wanted to do, like swim in the cenote,go see the old chichnitza ruins, adventure in the jungles such as riding four wheelers, zip lining, swimming. One day he took us to Cancun to go take these speed boats out to the ocean where we would swim and snorkel with the fish! It was so much fun, of coarse the weather was also super nice that day we got lucky!! Everyday it was a new adventure for us with Felipe always having his cooler full of water and beer! Just have to say the best part of this trip is getting to know our driver Felipe as he would take us to different places, share information about Hispanic culture and just shows us where the best taco stands are! We will definitely come back, I paid Felipe via PayPal which was nice for us because we didn't have to worry about bringing a lot of cash with us to Mexico.
Casa Blanca = Best Family Vacation Ever!
Thanks to staff and Curt for providing me and my family the best vacation we’ve had in decades! Rhino Transportation Company that was recommended to us was totally reliable. We stayed a week at Casa Blanca and could not say enough about the home, staff, location, etc. Everything about the home was a dream, a/c systems in each room kept the house very comfortable, rooms and beds were amazing, the living area was perfect for all 8 adults to relax. The pool was amazing as well, spent most days by the pool relaxing and chilling. The house provided everything we needed so we really didn’t (or want to) leave the house. We rented bikes to ride into town, really no needed because the stroll into town was easy and quick. We had a meal prepared upon arrival, best meal ever, so we thought, each meal prepared for us in the house was beyond words, highly recommend utilizing the chef(s) for at the very least one meal a day….AMAZING! Alberto, what can we say, he was amazing…took care of all of our requests and grocery deliveries. We were completely pampered beyond believe. I could go on and on and on, but believe me you will not be disappointed if you stay at Casa Blanca, you will only wish you had discovered it sooner. We will definitely make a return visit next year.
From Minnesota
This spring was the second time around at Casa Blanca for our family. We have stayed at several places in Playa del Carmen but none finer than this home. Alberto and Julian provided the house help and Julie the daily cleaning service and neither missed a beat. Downtown is close by; our 6 yr. old grandson could walk to any resturaunt. As pictured, the beach is just out the door. The pool is great. Our entire family used it daily. Curt has recently made some major upgrades and renovations to the house that have made everything first class.
Try the authentic "Mexican Dinner" referred to in the description. We plan to come back to Casa Blanca next year.
