About this property
Playa Gem-a unique penthouse in heart of downtown
Our Penthouse has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Play some of our games, or enjoy the private penthouse terrace hot tub, Tiki toss and private glow in the dark outdoor pool table! The beach is a short stroll and we have available for your use beach chairs & mats, towels, umbrellas, and a cooler to pack your refreshing drinks in. You don't even need to leave the condo, but if you do, famous 5th Avenue is one block away. You're at the center of it all! We also offer free parking, Wifi and Netflix too!
Our Condo (Playa Gem) is a 2,529 sq ft penthouse unit with soundproofed windows and doors to ensure your peace and tranquility, as well as room darkening curtains for those sleep in kind of mornings. Every room has air conditioning to keep you and your guests comfortable and a lockbox for all of your valuables. This 11 unit condo building has a gated, secure entrance. It is fully equipped with gas stove, fridge, microwave, water cooler, Webber BBQ, Smart TV and washer and dryer. The private penthouse terrace has sunshades for protection or 2 sunbeds with misters for the sun lovers. Grab a cocktail from the portable penthouse cooler and relax and unwind on the lounge furniture with your family and friends.
We provide a few essentials to make you feel more at home when you arrive: drinking water, soap, shampoo, towels, toilet paper (please note these will not be replenished during your stay) and beach towels, mats, umbrellas and wheeled cooler.
Our unit is self check-in for easy access whenever you arrive. Our friendly local host, Misha, will be available to assist you as needed.
Our condo unit is located in the "Little Italy" area and is one block from the famous 5th Avenue with many restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, tour information and night life and very close to the Quinta Alegria Mall. The atmosphere is absolutely electric! The condo is also only 2 blocks away from the amazing Caribbean sea and only a few more blocks to Mamita's and Kool Beach Clubs. Mega Supermarket & Walmart are a short walk away to buy food and essentials. Just around the corner are two convenience stores - how convenienent?
You are right in the middle of it all! Walk to everything - no car or taxi needed.
We will also include airport pickup and drop off with a minimum 7 night stay. Please let us know at time of booking.
