Three Story Luxury Penthouse w/Private Rooftop Jacuzzi | Condo in Playa del Carmen
1 Bedroom Condo in Downtown, Playa del Carmen
This custom three-story penthouse condo was completed in 2004 and has been single-owner since the beginning. It is architecturally striking with a round grass-thatch palapa roof over the living-room/kitchen area and another square palapa roof over the central stairwell connecting the three levels. It has been vacation-rented off and on over the past twenty years and has been recently put back into the vacation rental pool in May 2024 after a three-year stint of just-the-owners time. We've made a number of nice updates during this exclusive time, including a renovation of the private rooftop jacuzzi and patio area.
On VRBO, we are listing the property as a one bedroom (with the two downstairs bedrooms locked off) so that a small group of two can enjoy the villa for a lesser price than the entire three bedroom experience. (If you're seeing this listing and have a larger group, ask us about the details/pricing of the full three bedroom unit.)
The bedroom is off of the living-room/kitchen and has a queen bed. The bathroom is tiled from floor to ceiling and has a spacious walk-in shower. The original plaster drop ceiling has been recently removed and replaced with a much more stylish wooden-palapa style ceiling, as well as a matching large vanity mirror.
The kitchen is nicely equipped with upscale stainless appliances. We know that most vacation renters don't really want to spend a lot of time cooking meals -- but if you do, you will be well equipped to do so. A hand-shaped marble peninsula separates the kitchen from the living room.
The living room is topped by a dramatic story-and-a-half teepee shaped palapa roof. A cozy loft juts out over a portion of the living room and has a stylish wooden ladder climbing up along the wall to reach it. Don't worry -- the loft is also accessible from the rooftop terrace the old-fashioned way -- via a door. The living room has French doors leading out to a large wrap-around terrace looking out on the courtyard. Several tables provide a nice place to enjoy a drink or a light dinner.
The rooftop terrace, on the third level of the condo, has been nicely redone over the past few years. The custom jacuzzi has been stripped down, renovated with new jets, filter pump, heater, and tiling (heater off during the hot day but on for night-time soaks is the way to go). The wooden pergola over the jacuzzi has been rebuilt from scratch and a number of potted palms, bamboos, and other plants make it a wonderful oasis to enjoy a lazy Saturday afternoon.
The condo being in the epicenter of Playa makes for a great vibe and an easy stroll out to dining, shopping, and the beach. However, it is also very close to a number of nightclubs that play loud music late into the night -- so be aware of that. We've found that any number of "rain for sleeping" videos available on Youtube playing on the TV drowns out the party atmosphere enough to make sleeping at night just fine.
We believe this is one of the nicer condos in Playa and believe you will enjoy your stay here.
