Luxury Villa! Steps from the Caribbean & Beach Access! Quick walk to town, WiFi!
Escape the confines of the resort and settle into your own private Caribbean getaway home for the vacation of your dreams. In the luxury gated community of Playacar Phase 1, just south of Playa del Carmen, you will find all the amenities you will need to explore and relax.
In Mayan, Jalach-Naj loosely translates to “grandfather house”, and this stately yet contemporary beauty is filled with high-end touches, while still retaining the colorful character of Mexico through its jaw-dropping boveda (brick dome) ceilings. With expert masonry and thoughtful finishes, all you need to do is bring your swimsuit and some sunscreen to settle into your beach vacation.
This villa accommodates up to 12 guests with its four graciously appointed bedrooms with 4 king-sized beds each with en-suite baths. The king-sized master bedroom features a lovely furnished terrace with ocean view. A sweet little second floor studio contains 1 queen sized sofa sleeper as well as an additional ocean-view terrace. On the lower level we have a small back room we call our children's room. This is a perfect space to sleep two small children or a small adult where they too can enjoy the luxury of AC and a full bathroom for their comfort.
Plenty of closet space can be found, but if you’d like to pack light, there is a full size washer and dryer for your convenience.
The fully equipped kitchen with modern stainless steel appliances flows out to the living and dining areas with comfortable seating arrangements for relaxing, chatting, or watching satellite TV. Enjoy air conditioning and ceiling fans in all the rooms, as well as an MP3 player, CD / DVD player and high speed WiFi connectivity.
Outside you will find a generous dining table on the covered terrace which overlooks the shared pool and sun loungers for you and your guests. Move your cooking out doors to the gas grill...don’t forget to try grilling sliced pineapple for a fresh light Caribbean-style dessert! If you are traveling with a car, you will find two spacious covered parking spots as well.
You are only 15 short meters to the pristine white sands and turquoise waters of the Caribbean. The best beach in town is right in your backyard. The villa comes equipped with beach umbrellas, chairs and towels along with boogie boards, so head out to enjoy a special day on the water. Consider visiting some of the many great amenities that Playacar has to offer such as its own collection of ancient Mayan Ruins, an aviary, golf and tennis, biking and walking paths, and its own shopping and dining opportunities. You will also be immediately adjacent to Playa del Carmen’s world famous beach clubs, shopping and dining districts, and the unique pedestrian-only 5th Avenue.
If you have a large group, rent the adjacent Iich-Naj Villa (in Mayan: “twin house”) to accommodate up to 20 guests, sharing that beautiful pool between the two villas!

We had a wonderful stay at the villa. It was spacious, clean, well maintained, and close to the beach. The host was responsive and resolved any asks we had.

Thank you for your feedback. It was a pleasure to host you.
Host was awesome - responsive and helpful and went the xtra mile. Location was perfect - so close to the beach. Like steps! ... Note: the surf did seem to push some rocks to shore, so when accessing the water it felt better with water shoes. Cleaning service o/s. Pool guy great. Pool was a tad cold. Villas were great . Only issues we had were in the Lich Naj villa 1) sofa bed in upper room is not really usable - frame is bent 2) fridge and fan above stove not working properly - but there was a work around and I understand these will be replaced this year. I would come back to this villa. Great for a family reunion . We were 21 pple and this worked perfectly for our group!

Thank you for your feedback. The fridge and fan were fixed immediately after your stay. We are looking into the bed frame. It was a pleasure to host you and hope that you come back to visit.
House was beautiful and had everything we needed. The host was fantastic & helped us plan transportation & activities. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for my bachelorette trip.

Thank you for staying with us. It was a pleasure to assist you with the activities and transportation! Happy you had a nice bachelorette trip!
Convenient location a short walk to ferry terminal and Quinta Avenida and restaurants. There is a can stand also in the neighborhood.
The beach is perhaps 50 meters from the house but still is incredibly quiet and private given the location. Highly recommend!
The house was amazing and the proximity to the beach was an additional perk. While we did have a few mishaps during our stay, Erin was quick to respond and send someone to have the issue resolved.

Thank you for your efforts with the community! A well deserving vacation.
We loved our stay at Casa Jalach Naj. The property is beautiful and has everything you need for a great stay at the beach. We especially enjoyed the fantastic meals prepared by the wonderful chefs. Erin is also terrific at helping to arrange transportation. Hope we are able to enjoy another stay here in the future!

Thanks to you for your comments and staying in our villa. It would be a pleasure to have you back anytime!
We stayed 3 weeks at this beautiful house. Location was perfect, house was very well equipped with kitchen supplies, towels, bedding, soaps, toilet paper etc. We used the 2 bikes for groceries and the beach wagon, beach chairs and umbrellas plus numerous beach toys.House keepers were excellent and there was a guy at the house daily if we had any problems. Overall it was excellent!
Casa Jalach-Naj and Ilich-Naj were a dream. Exquisite views, ample space in the villas, a perfect location. We had our wedding on the beach and our family and friends stayed here with us. Everyone was blown away. We can't wait to come back!
The property was exactly as the listing described. Erin was fantastic at communicating. We loved the place and location and will be back Thank you for helping to make our family wedding celebration perfect.
We stayed at this house for five days and we loved it.
It’s beautiful, clean, and the location is just perfect. Definitely recommend it.
Hope come back soon. :-)

Thank you! Your comments are always what we like to hear. We look forward to your visit next year!
The property was exactly as described. Exceptionally clean. The maid service throughout the week was a pleasant surprise, conveniently close to the beach. We had eight adults. Having four king size bedrooms with bathrooms was a plus. Plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas for our group.

Thank you for staying with us and your feedback. It was a pleasure to have you as our guest!
The house was amazing and the location can’t be beat. Everything was as good or better than listed. We are a family of 7 and this was more than enough, could easily have the grandparents or another family with us. FYI the house next door can also be rented with this one for a larger group, which we are considering for next year. Great service from the booking to airport pickup, grocery delivery and cleaning. Great stay!

Thank you for staying with us. It was a pleasure to have you as a guest. Your feedback is super and thank you booking some of our services that we offer. We look forward to your next visit.
This was a great Villa. Quiet neighborhood, steps to the beach, all the amenities we needed. House Keeping did a great job. Any time i had any questions, Angela was very prompt and accommodating. We will be back in the future and will be renting both houses.
Wonderful property with great communication from Erin. Steps away from the beach and walking distance to 5th Avenue for shopping. The house keeper Maria was amazing. Would highly recommend an on-site chef to come in for dinner ask Susan for details! Had a great week with family.
Thank you again,

Thank you for your feedback. Susan is great! I'm happy you were able to enjoy her wonderful meals.
This house was beautiful & perfect for our group of 11. The beach was a stones throw away. We cooked at the house several times & the kitchen was equipped with necessities. Communication & access to the house came with ease. Our house keeper Maria was a gem. There were cards & a welcome booklet on the table table for all the local amenities. We would definitely stay here again!

On the beach! Perfect!
This house is outstanding. The pictures don’t do it justice. We are avid world travelers and always rent houses. This is the best one yet! We stayed with 4 adults and two little kids (1 and 4 years old). Much larger than it looks in pictures and exceptionally clean. The bedrooms are gorgeous with large comfortable beds. All bedrooms have their own bathrooms. It’s actually 5 bedrooms: 2 upstairs including the master, 2 large bedrooms downstairs and 1 very small bedroom near kitchen (not an ideal bedroom to stay in but does offer another full bath). You are just a few steps from the beach. The balconies offer beautiful unobstructed views of the water and you can see the water from the dining room. The pool was perfect for relaxing. The Playacar neighborhood is in the perfect location and adds a level of safety given that it is a gated community. We never had any issues or questions about safety during our stay in Playacar or walking the VERY short walk less than 10 minute walk (we are slow walkers) to Playa del carmen.
The Latin Latitudes team that manages the rental are exceptional. Susan helped us with all of our activities and answered all of our questions about the area. Ilena helped with our booking of the house. And Angela was available to answer questions about the house once we were there. The restaurant recommendations in the guest guide at the house were fantastic including La Perla and Patio8.
Couldn’t have asked for more! Highly recommend to anyone looking to have a fantastic vacation!

Thank you for your comments. You have touched on some important information that I would like to comment on further. First, we are thrilled that we could be the best rental property on your list, especially as an avid world traveler! That is greatly appreciated and we are happy to make your vacation so comfortable and nice.
Latin Latitude takes pride in customer service and we are very happy to make your trip special and memorable. We have an excellent team to attend to our guests during their vacation and there are many services that we can offer. It is great you were able to take advantage of our services and enjoy some activities.
Finally, the area is safe and continues to be so not only in Playacar but in Playa del Carmen as well. I appreciate that this was addressed as this is often a travelers concern.
This house was perfect for our group of 8! The four private suites allowed for each couple to have their own space, including a king sized bed and ensuite bath. There are two additional bathrooms in the home. The kitchen was well appointed and had nearly everything we needed. We did purchase some additional spices and oil for cooking. We used the grocery service the first night as we arrived very late to the property. That was wonderful! The living room is perfect for lounging. The location of the property was fantastic. The beach is steps away and the view of the ocean is beautiful from the balcony. The house had all the beach essentials we needed, and more. As far as the shared pool, it is a nice addition. We enjoyed complete privacy for the first few days as the sister house was vacant. We really didn't use it after a large group arrived on day four. So I would say it is a lovely pool and outdoor space but I personally didn't feel the need to co-mingle in the pool. The location to Fifth Avenue was awesome. It's a lot of walking, but it worked perfectly for our group. The proximity to the ferry is also so convenient. Although the house and property are amazing, it does show some minor wear and tear. For example, the garage door does not close all the way, some of the faucets are a little leaky, and the microwave is extremely loud. None of this effected our stay or enjoyment of the home. The communication with Erin, Angela, and Susan was very positive and timely. We would definitely recommend this property to others!
