Description
Villas Sacbe is a complex of twelve newly constructed luxury condominiums in the most premium location in all of Playa del Carmen - steps away from the most vibrant portion of famed 5th Avenue and about 100 meters from the beach. Dozens of high quality restaurants and shops are literally steps away from your door. The main entrance on quaint 1st Avenue affords you easy access to the beach on one side and to shopping and dining on the other.

Unit 8 is a three-story penthouse unit with a private, custom jacuzzi on the rooftop. In addition to the jacuzzi, the private rooftop terrace offers views of the turquoise Caribbean located approximately 100 meters away. The architecture of the unit is very unique and charming, with a sturdy grass thatch "palapa" roof over the living room/loft area, a striking circular shaped living room and master bedroom, and three large terraces spread out over three floors. Luxury features abound - gleaming Tikul stone on all the floors; a custom and oversized marble jacuzzi bath in the master bathroom; marble tile from floor to ceiling in all three bathrooms; and custom commercial-for-the-home kitchen appliances from KitchenAid and Viking.

The large circular shaped master bedroom on the lower floor has a king sized bed and French double doors leading to a large private terrace overlooking the pool and courtyard. The Master bedroom's private bathroom features a custom jacuzzi bath with sliding Japanese Shinjo doors that open to the terrace if desired.

The 2nd bedroom on the lower floor has a queen sized bed & private bathroom. The 3rd bedroom on the upper floor has a queen sized bed with an adjoining bathroom that can also be accessed from the main hallway. The loft, also equipped with a full sized futon, can be used as a sleeping area if desired, though it is quite small, with just enough room to unfold the futon. Finally, the futon in the living room can be used to sleep two as well if desired. The two lower-floor bedrooms have their own 21" TVs and DVD/VCRs.

The circular living room features a dramatic tee-pee shaped palapa ceiling 1.5 stories above and a cozy loft extending about a third of the way out over the living room area. The kids will likely enjoy the fun built-in wooden ladder that reaches from the living room to the loft. The adults may prefer the more conventional route, using the door from the rooftop terrace to access the loft. The living room, like the master bedroom, also features double French doors that access yet another large terrace overlooking the central courtyard and swimming pool. The terrace, with protection from the overhanging grass palapa roof, is the intended location for dining around a table. The two square teak patio tables can be arranged separately or together to accommodate a variety of dining configurations. During inclement weather, the tables can be easily moved into the living room for indoor dining. The living room is equipped with a 29" TV, DVD/VCR, and stereo.

The kitchen is very nicely appointed, though petite. All appliances are high-end stainless steel models specially imported from the United States. The large capacity, counter-depth refrigerator from KitchenAid uses a special device to pump purified water from a standard 5-gallon bottle to the icemaker and water-dispenser in the door. The full sized dishwasher from KitchenAid means that clean up after a meal at home is a snap. The KitchenAid oven, Viking cooktop, and KitchenAid Microwave give you all the flexibility you need in the cooking department. This type and quality of appliance suite is virtually unheard of in Playa del Carmen. The kitchen accoutrements are rounded out with a custom marble countertop, ceramic tile backsplash, and hand-shaped peninsula that doubles as food prep area and cozy table for 2 or 4.

A wide variety of television and telecommunications services are available to our guests free of charge. These include cable and DirecTV television services, high-speed internet service, and internet phone service, from which you may make unlimited calls to the U.S. and Canada for free. Data outlets are found throughout the unit in all rooms and terraces - just plug your laptop into your private network wherever you feel like working or use the provided PC. Answering a few emails out on the terrace with a Mai-Tai in hand doesn't sound so bad, does it? Since telecommunications services in Playa del Carmen are sometimes sporadic, we cannot guarantee they will be available 100% of the time. We are providing them on a "best effort" basis as a free bonus when available.

Testimonials
The reason I was emailing you was to tell you how wonderful your place was. I have been going to Playa for 20 years and have seen all the changes and "upgrades" the town has made. I have stayed in approximately 40 different homes, condos, or suites in hotels. Your unit by far is so beautifully appointed and has the easiest access to everything Playa has to offer. Your place allowed us to use every minute we had there and with half the effort that we are used to. I am interested in renting again for a couple of months the beginning of next year. Thanks again for having such a wonderful place and allowing other people such as myself to enjoy it. I have told everyone that I know visits Playa about your place.

===============================================

Words cannot describe our satisfaction with Playa and Villas Sacbe #8. Probably the highest compliment will be returning next year. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The condo is incredible. Eric paid attention to every detail. The location is perfect - safe, secluded - yet close to everything. Very charming - yet complete luxury. I've visited some pretty nice places, but this was very close to Heaven. P.S. The owner/management company were great to deal with. Such a stress-free trip.

Jan and Gene Fields
Arlington, Texas

===============================================

You weren't kidding about the location - I do believe it is the best in Playa. A few steps out the door and we had the pick of dozens of different restaurants, yet inside the villa it was peaceful as could be. The pictures on the internet were great but they truly don't do the place justice. The free internet and free long distance calling were a great convenience as well. Thanks for a great vacation.

Ernest and Shonda Pino

===============================================

We had a great time at your villa. It worked out ideally for our three generation crew. Your cleaning service is phenomenal - so thorough and diligent. We loved the big beach towels and the plethora of other towels. We went to the beach every day - down to the Azul Profundo and to the left, sometimes beyond the point and the pier, and sometimes in front of the large hotel. What a great beach. Ideal temperature, right sized waves. Your bathrooms are terrific - luxurious, clean, well thought through. I would rate Sacbe Unit 8 a 10 for a vacation rental! It's location and appointment were unbelievable: a block and a half to a fabulous beach; within a block of the shopping, action street.... In addition, YOU were extremely responsive and easy to deal with, as well as helpful.

Thanks for renting out your villa! What incredible design and architecture.

Louise and Company
San Rafael, CA

===============================================

They just LOVED IT! The girls thought we were putting them on when they walked into the condo. They had no idea it was going to be that nice. All in all it was a beautiful condo and trip.

Mario

===============================================

The best vacation spot that I have ever been to. Owner has gone all out with top notch accommodations. This place has been furnished to accommodate singles, families and the business person who needs to do a little work while they are on vacation. Beach access is just across the street and shopping, restaurants and entertainment on the other side of the street. No need to rent a car as everything is within walking distance. If you feel like venturing outside of the city you can easily grab a cab or a bus to any of the near by attractions.

Jennifer Framstad
Kirkland, WA

===============================================

We had a wonderful vacation! The condo is gorgeous! We loved the marble throughout. The location is perfect--only one block from the beach and one block from 5th avenue. It was so nice to have the full kitchen and washer and dryer right in the condo. The free calls to the U.S. was a great convenience. We enjoyed the huge DVD selection. We definitely had all the comforts of home. We'll definitely be back!

David and Tracy Garfinkel
San Jose, CA

===============================================

The accommodations were fantastic. We could have left two pieces of luggage at home as we didn't expect the beach towels, beach chairs, etc. The location was ideal for us since my brother has a shop on 5th Avenue. You definitely have a special property with every detail covered. I cannot honestly think of a way to improve this place. The way you take care of business you should have many repeats.
