Casa Selva Caribe Beautiful Villa Great Location! Walk to Beach or 5th Av Views

What a spectacular location! 'Casa Selva Caribe' is a beautiful, modern 3 bedroom villa set in the exclusive gated community of Playacar, within the Playamar development. Casa Selva Caribe is the house to the left on the main photo.

Open the front door and you are steps from the stunning pool, open the back door and you have a secluded terrace with views of nature!

The private and tranquil patio leads out to the views of nature - between the villa and the golf course is only trees and plants! The front of the villa is just steps from the large shared pool and the Xaman-Ha bird sanctuary which is adjacent to the pool and just a few metres from the villa. Tropical birds visit the pool area and with luck you may even spot a toucan while you swim.

Casa Selva Caribe is surrounded by the views of nature in a beautiful and tranquil setting, but it is still close to everything - just a few minutes walk through a small park to the beach, or a similar distance to the 5th Avenue restaurants. Few villas are so fortunate!

The villa is to the north of Playacar, close to the Playa del Carmen entrance. Set in the exclusive gated community of Playacar, this large three bedroom villa sleeps 8 and was built in 2007. It has continuously been refurbished and updated.

Relax on the secluded patio or the upstairs terrace and listen to the natural sounds of tropical birds. The upstairs terrace has some great sunsets over the trees. From the jacuzzi / bath you can look out over the tree tops.

We have owned Casa Selva Caribe since it was built and employ a very professional property management company so that we can confidently offer the highest standards of cleanliness and maintenance.

Villa features:
3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, each en suite. From the front door, you are steps from the large swimming pool, whilst at the rear is the secluded and tranquil terrace. The large lounge has spectacular jungle views from full length windows which lead out to the patio.

Upstairs :
The master bedroom has a jacuzzi and also a private terrace with more great views over the trees. You can sit in the jacuzzi with the open window and enjoy views of the jungle and listen to tropical bird song, or relax on the terrace and watch the tropical birds fly by. There is a walk -in closet, king size bed and sofa.

The second bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom with shower and two double, or matrimonial beds. It looks over the fabulous swimming pool at the front. 32" modern TV in the second bedroom.

Downstairs:
The large lounge enjoys great views to the patio and jungle from full length windows.
Satellite TV, Modern 42" Smart TV. Multi region DVD. Modern dining area has a view to the patio and jungle. The third bedroom has two single beds that can be joined to make one king sizr bed. This bedroom enjoys views of the jungle through full length windows. The third bathroom/shower is adjacent.

The fully equipped kitchen overlooks the swimming pool and there is an adjacent laundry room. There is a washing machine and dryer in the laundry room.

The patio has a Weber gas grill and is well stocked with furniture for outside dining.

Every room has ceiling fans and air conditioning, although the generous high ceilings give a luxurious and cool feel even on the hot days.

Throughout the villa, the modern stylish Italian and Mexican furnishings compliment the house style.

The villa is managed by professional agents who are located nearby and will be pleased to assist you. They will meet and greet you shortly after your arrival at the villa. Mid-week maid service is included and other services such as airport transfer and tours can be arranged. There is a detailed welcome book with local information in the villa.

Due to the great location, a rental car is not necessary although having one will give you much more flexibility to explore all the great attractions nearby. There is easy allocated parking.

WiFi Internet access is available free of charge for guests.

A short video which shows the villa, the gardens and the location using drone footage can be seen among the photos in this vrbo listing..

Covid-19 update - we have always maintained very high standards of cleanliness, but have further enhanced our processes due to the current situation. In order to allow a deep clean between groups, we will be ensuring a gap between groups to give time for deep cleaning. The mid-week clean mentioned above will not automatically be provided due to social distancing protocols. If you do wish to have a mid week clean, we can schedule this on a day when you will be out of the house, maybe at the beach / on a tour etc. so the maid can work within social distancing guidelines. Please discuss your requirements for this shortly before your arrival. The check - in / check -out can be arranged contactless, so the meet and greet can be arranged remotely if you wish.
The cleaning protocol now includes disinfectant from a cleaning supplier that is used in hotels on all high contact surfaces - it cleans and disinfects high touch surfaces in 10 minutes and kills common microorganisms including VRE, MRSA, influenza, norovirus and many more. It meets OSHA microbourne pathogen standards.
Antibacterial gel can be supplied to guests upon request.
Whenever the situation changes, we understand that your plans may change so we will work really hard to accommodate any change of plans that you may have during these times.
++++++++++++++++

TOURS
We work with one of the best tour companies in Playa who are pleased to offer our guests a discount on any of their tours. Whether you are planning a visit to Chichen Itza, or a day trip to Xcaret, a Delux Catamaran Sailing Adventure or a visit to Coba with an authentic Mayan encounter, they will be able to offer you a great option.

Home away from home
Lovely house in a beautiful area. Patio in the back yard is a perfect place to sit, have coffee and watch/listen to nature. We had many colourful birds, deer, coatis and agouti. The pool in the front was convenient for cooling off ( be advised that it is about 5 feet deep but does have a shallow area for children). The house was well stocked and we appreciated having the washer dryer and supplies available. The area has many walking paths and we enjoyed our walks to the various shopping areas for coffee, food / restaurants and ice cream. Also it is just a short walk to beach and 5th Avenue The property manager, Angela, was wonderful - she was there for all our questions and communication was practically immediate

Relaxing
The property was just right for our home base as we explored the island. Although the drive can get long going to and from Pearl Harbor it was balanced out with the shorter drives to the PPC and Kuaola Ranch. The hosts were very tenative and helpful when we needed aome help with the TV after a storm caused a power outage. The pools were refreshing in the evenings after a long day in the sun. The beach access and the cove at the resort were amazing as well.

Holiday in Playa de Carmen
The property is very nice and a 15 minute walk for downtown. The pool and outside patio were very welcome after a hot day on the beach. 150 pesos taxi ride to the nearest supermarket, however a few small general stores are closer. The only negative we had was on arrival one of the bedrooms had dirty bedding, we called the property manager and this wqs resolved the next morning. Highly recommed this property.

Great place to stay.
David's place was a great choice for our stay. We had such a great time. We were a family of seven and the place was more than sufficient with it's three full bathrooms and bedrooms. The pool was steps away from the front door. David and Angela were always quick to answer any questions. The dryer went out one day and Angela had it working pretty much the following day. Great communication between them. Everything we needed was a short walk away. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location
The villa is beautiful and had everything we needed for a week exploring the Riviera Maya. The bottled water and air conditioning were much appreciated! My 3 teens had plenty of space to stretch out, and the pool right outside the front door was the perfect place to cool off. We absolutely loved the roaming iguanas, coatis, and agoutis, and the bird songs were lovely! It was a very quick and easy walk to the beach, the ferry to Cozumel, and 5th Avenue. We definitely recommend staying at Casa Selva Caribe!

Fit our needs perfectly
The Condo was clean and spacious. Close enough to town but still quiet and secluded. It was a little hard for some of the transportation people to find it but David sent out detailed directions in advance that helped greatly. My wife loved the big iguanas in the trees. Property manager Angela was super quick to respond whenever we needed anything. Thank you guys so much for everything.

Lovely villa with the pool steps from the front door. Spacious and clean and stocked with basic amenities. We didnt use the ac but the fans and patio doors open gave a nice pleasant breeze during the day. We names the wild house lizard Javier and saw him every night at some spot on the ceiling. 😄 we couldnt figure out the washing machine but the dryer worked well. It is very close to walk to ruins nearby or to the beach, we felt safe the entire time there and often walked to the downtown 5th avenue day or night.

Amazing
We loved the location of property. The community is gated and seeing the way that security enforced who would come in or go out made us feel safe and secure. The fact the pool was right across from the door made it great for the children and also for myself who was 5 months pregnant at the time, quick access to a bathroom. Everything was walking distance. We loved it and hopefully we can use it again in the future. The people in the facility were very kind we would always ask questions about different wild life in the area. It was great learning experience to see them all. We learned new words such as Sereque and Tejon but quickly realized we should probably have known the word Tejon. We also asked locals about the different kinds of reptiles in the area but forgot the names of those. We had such a great time. We appreciate the hospitality David. Angela was amazing and always answered questions in a timely manner. Highly recommend this property.

Great location and wonderful owners!
We booked this stay for Mar 2020 and due to COVID, postponed until mar 2021. David, the owner, was very understanding and accommodating. Prior to booking, he answered all our questions and was very responsive. The property was perfect for 4 adults and 3 kids aged 12 to 15. Location was fantastic as well - we didn’t rent a car and walked to 5th Avenue daily. All of the tours we took had a meeting point just outside the gates of playacar so that was super convenient as well. The only disappointment was that we weren’t able to use the beach club at Reef due to occupancy restrictions for COVID. No one’s fault, just how things are right now. It just meant we had to walk a little further to get to a beach club and we had to pay for beach chairs. We still had a great time but think it’s worth knowing so you have the right expectations. Hopefully things will go back to normal soon!! We would stay at this property for any trip back to Playa. The location and value can’t be beat!

Perfect family villa in ideal location
We have returned from a wonderful two week stay at Casa Selva Caribe. The property was even better than we expected with plenty of space for our family of five. It is a very short walk to the local beaches or to the start of 5th Avenue which meant we didn't need a car. Most of the trips you can take also include transport. The swimming pool was brilliant and usually we had it to ourselves. The property was comfortable and well-equipped, and Angela and Susan made our stay very easy with great service and communication. Thank you!

Vacation in the jungle
We spent an amazing week in this property. I have been visiting Playa del Carmen over the last 4 years an this is the place that I like the most. Location is fantastic. Pool is three steps from the front door and everything works. It is surrounded by the Aviariuom facility so there are birds in and out all day long. The property manager was great and responsive. The access to the beach is possible but it is not straight forward. However we will come back.

Great place with a convenient location
Our family of 7 spent a wonderful week at Casa Selva Caribe. Everything we needed was provided and having the younger generation upstairs and the seniors on the first floor was an excellent arrangement. The pool was enjoyed by all. We decided not to rent a car and were able to walk into town for groceries and for our evening meal. During the day we used the ADO bus and colectivos to visit Tulum, Cenote Azul and Xpu-ha beach. The younger generation loved their day at Xel-ha. They were able to get the bus included with their admission at the Reef Club. The owner and manager were both responsive and easy to work with. We heartily recommend this lovely property.
