50 Steps to Beach 5 Min. Walk to Downtown 5th St. Casa Blanca Beach House

We went here for my 50th birthday celebration. There were nine of us in the group. What a fantastic home to have for this occasion. Curt was nice and quick in his responses. Isabel was wonderful around the home. Jessica was helpful when we needed things. The house is nice, clean, spacious and has a wonderful location.

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!!!

Curt was super responsive from the very start and super helpful in planning our stay. He made sure that we had everything we needed prior to our arrival and we got lucky when we booked this house.

The house itself is absolutely stunning. The pool is a great size for kids as well as adults to swim. Their speaker system makes it so that the teens have a great way to listen to their music while outdoors by the pool.

The beach is steps away from the house but in order to get a more sandy area, we walked a few blocks down to where there was more room for kids to play.

5th Avenue is just a 8-10 minute walk if that. There are visible security guards 24 hours a day so we felt very safe.

The housekeeper was sweet and made sure we had enough clean towels and answered any questions we had.

The only thing I will say was that the concierge Veronica was not very helpful or responsive. I messaged her prior to our arrival and she never responded. She arrived about 20 minutes after we made our way into the house and was really friendly, made sure we had her phone number and said she would be available for anything we may need.

I messaged her to ask about a cenote tour and getting a car and it took her over a day to respond. She said she had a day off but it would’ve been nice for her to have told us in advance. I also messaged her about the propane being low for the bbq and even though she did respond to the first message she never confirmed if it was refilled or not. I finally ordered taxis for us to head out on Friday and she ordered them for the wrong times and didn’t ask me about her confusion until the time we were already getting picked up so we figured things out directly with the taxi drivers and they were able to help us. I’m just glad that we speak the language and are familiar with the area so we were able to get things done on our own.

Other than that, everything was amazing. Would definitely stay hear again!

This is our 2nd time staying at Casa Blanca and highly recommend for others. Each trip, we had 3 families. It's daunting choosing a place in a foreign country from a stranger. No danger with this stranger though! Here are some of the highlights:

- Curt is easy to work with and very responsive. It set-up for your vacation to be a great one.

- The house is comfortable for multiple families. With 6 adults and 5 kids (ages 9-11), no one felt cramped. And it's NICE - not a converted frat house. It was well taken care of before the remodel and certainly is today as well.

- It's close to the beach. Literally 50 steps to the sand and usually we didn't wear shoes getting there. Plus, Curt has beach chairs, umbrellas and bucket of sand toys to use.

- It's close to town. You can walk to 5th avenue in about 4-5 minutes.

- The support staff is terrific. They even found a kid's retainer after we got to the airport to return home. Now the retainer is on it's own flight home.

Two thumbs up!

The owner, Curt was extremely helpful prior to our arrival with all of our questions and vacation planning. He thought of everything! The house was walking distance to lots of shopping, restaurants, the pier to Cozumel and of course steps away from the beach. The house has plenty of sand toys, chairs, towels and umbrellas which was super nice. House was stocked with all of the necessities and very clean. All of the staff was super nice and helpful, I highly recommend the "Cookers," dinner was amazing! They even do the grocery shopping for you. I would recommend being very specific on your grocery list. :) We felt safe in the neighborhood, lots of security patrolling the area late into the night. The pool was a little chilly for my liking and the Jacuzzi is not a hot tub, that may have been my bad by not reading all of the details on the VRBO listing. Highly recommend Casa Sofia for Italian Food, it is within walking distance also.

We had an amazing stay at Casa Blanca! We were fortunate to have a weeklong stay there and we loved every minute of it. The house was exactly as described, it had everything we needed from a full kitchen, pool, hot tub, and AC in all the rooms. Every bedroom was beautifully decorated and felt like a master bedroom because there was a sizable bathroom connected to each. The staff was wonderful. Judy cleaned the kitchen and bedrooms so we could just relax.

The location of Casa Blanca could not be better. It is a very close walk to 5th Ave where all the shops and restaurants are located. It truly is 50 footsteps from the beach! My favorite part about our time spent there was waking up early and watching the sunrise over the ocean, such a peaceful a beautiful experience!

We are looking forward to our next stay at Casa Blanca!
