| My 3 girlfriends and I spent a week at Casa Price in May to celebrate turning 40. The house itself was perfect for us. We were also very happy with the location and its proximity to the beach and to 5th Avenue. We spent our days seeing the sights, hitting the beach and shopping. We spent our evenings on the back porch, eating Rosa's phenomenal cooking and listening to the waves. I would highly recommend Casa Price for people who are looking for a place that is private, safe and still in a convenient location. |

| My husband,I and another couple have stayed at Casa Price twice and enjoyed it so much we are now planning our third trip and taking our children. The house is beautiful,and waking up with the ocean breeze blowing thru your room is wonderful. The house is very open. The view of the ocean is exquisite, and the temperature was always comfortable. Rosa's cooking is "to die for". Even after only being there a week she feels like part of the family.I would recommend Casa Price to everyone and I can not wait to go back. |

| I must say i have never enjoyed a vacation quite as much as the time i spent at Casa Price in Mexico. Rosa was great from the start. She was soo personable and at our request, she prepared delicious authentic mexican food. You can't get that a hotel. The villa, Casa Price, was clean, well furnished, and right at the beach with the best view. I will say that initially i was concerned about the villa not being equipped with air conditioning, but with the cool ocean breezes and ceiling fans throughout the villa, i was more than comfortable throughout my stay. I've been visiting Playacar for years, and have stayed at a number of more expensive villas, but none compared to Casa Price. It's the best bargain in Playa. Also, I highly recommend walking down to 5th Avenue for great shopping and "local color", only about a ten minute walk from the villa. |

| We just returned from a week at Casa Price. The home is beautiful, clean, comfortable and well located. All in all, a charming setting and a great experience. Rosa was truly a delight. My wife and I shopped with her for groceries and she cooked for us daily: breakfast, fresh juice, lunch, guacamole, salsa--her cooking skills are exceptional. In addition to that, Rosa is a warm, sunny presence in the home. We had one or two glitches, but Rosa was always available to solve our problems. We had 4 young women in our group. They loved the access to town and beaches. There's no AC, but the house is filled with fans and does receive the Carribean breezes. June was HOT. I'd have preferred AC, but the "natural" cooling made it quite tolerable. We'd come again in a heartbeat! |

| We just returned from 2 glorious weeks in Playa del Carmen. We stayed at Casa Price and it was the most enjoyable stay in the 10+ years we have been going to Mexico. The house was open and cheery and thanks to Rosa very clean. Rosa was the BEST!!! She cooks great food and will go out of her way to help you with anything. By the time we left she was more like family than the "keeper of the house". We will certainly return to Casa Price in the future! |

| Casa Price is a wonderful home located close to the beach. Rosa, the housekeeper, is an angel. You will feel like you have known her your whole life. The house is more than you expect looking at the pictures. You are 5 minutes walking, or you may take a cab for 5 dollars, to downtown Playa del Carmen. |

My daughter, sister, niece, friend and myself enjoyed a "Women's Retreat" in Playa del Carmen at Casa Price. It was wonderful!! We had a beautiful home, which felt very much like home, and an awesome view from the balcony. We were located close enough to the downtown area so that we could take in some evening entertainment, but still secluded enough to enjoy the quite days.
The house was always spotless and we had all are needs at arms length, plus Rosa was there daily to make sure we were comfortable. We felt like royalty!We enjoyed our stay so much that we plan to do another retreat sometime soon. |

We just returned from our 3rd stay at Casa Price and it was beautiful as usual. The house had no damage from hurricane Wilma. Everything was in working order including a new charcoal grill. Rosa was her pleasant helpful self. She was busy each day cooking great meals and of course the fresh orange juice each morning. Playa del Carmen is up and running, no trouble with taxis or airport transportation.
Our only regret was coming back to the states. |

My family spent an enjoyable week at Casa Price in October 2004. We were a little apprehensive renting a house sight unseen on the internet but the house was even better than pictured and described. The views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea from almost any room in the house will take your breath away. Plenty of cool ocean breezes and ceiling fans in every room keep the house comfortable all day long. The nearly private beach is right behind the house across a small residential street. The beach is even cleaned on a daily basis! No venders or time share hawkers on this stretch of beach.
To start each morning with a cheery HOLA from Rosa was great. Her cooking was fantastic and she even did a couple loads of personal laundry for us. She is able to adjust her menus to accommodate young childrens picky tastes and will even cook vegetarian meals. Although she only cooks breakfast and lunch, we always had plenty of leftovers for supper when we didnt want to venture out.
Joleen was a pleasure to work with. You can rent from her with confidence. We cant wait for our return visit to Casa Price!

I just wanted to say that we've rented a
different house in Playa 3 years in a row and Casa
Price is our new favorite. We loved it so much that
we intend to go back in '06. Rosa was wonderful! So
friendly, accomodating and helpful. The house was
perfect for our needs... really close to the beach,
great layout, all the amenities we could ask for. The
terraces were wonderful and we especially loved
hearing the surf and looking out most windows and
seeing the ocean. We loved that we could just walk
down a short foot path and be at the beach. There
was no need for A/C as the ocean breezes kept us
cool and comfortable all night. We didn't experience
Rosa's great cooking this time, but next year for
sure. Joleen was an incredible help in setting up our
holiday and we can't wait to go back! Feel free to
contact us for me info. Danielle + Arne |

We would like to thank Joleen for the use of her home on our vacation in February of 2005. We had a woderful time and Rosa was as wonderful as everyone in the other comments said. Casa Price is just as you see it on the web site. The view is great from both the patio and the rooftop terrace. The only thing I didn't like was the fact there was no BBQ working. I hope they replace it for others. Thank you again.

| Stayed one week with family of four,including two teenagers. Great comfortable home. Very easy to live in. Home is one block from water and invites ocean breezes and sounds into every room. Upper rooftop deck is very private and allows for daytime sunbathing and nightime relaxation while overlooking Cozumel. Rosa does an amazing job in keeping house. Home located in very pleasant community of other homes. We found home perfectly located to explore regions of Quintana Roo. Although all of the beaches you will need are nearby, home is not for those expecting to walk out of home directly onto large expanse beach. Will stay again when traveling to region. |

Casa Price was a fantastic place to spend our long weekend. The house was comfortable and clean with great furnishings. The nearby beach was also quite nice with some cool little fish to see while snorkeling. The city was very close by....
Rosa is incredibly friendly and hospitable not to mention makes amazing desserts (among all her other fantastic cuisines.)
This property will really be a great place for a mexican getaway!! |

This was our family's first vacation to the Yucatan. Playa del Carmen is the best place to be, and we were very lucky to have found Casa Price.
Everything advertised is true. The house is spacious, especially when you have two grown daughters who like to sleep in. Rosa is wonderful, her cooking superb, and the walk to town (about 15 minutes)is easy.
You won't be disappointed. |

It's been three years since we visited Casa Price but the memories are still very vivid. We booked everything online and we were nervous until the key opened the door to a beautiful home, which we could call our own for one whole week!
Rosa was a wonderful hostess and she was so accommodating to our vacation needs. Even though our Spanish was very limited, the international language of charades always works!
The beach, the sand, the view...the swimming, the walks, the weather - all of it fabulous. Another wonderful thing was that the town of Playa and all its offering was just a 10 minute walk away. It was also a lot of fun to look at the beautiful homes and explore the Mayan ruins along the way.
Without hesitation, we recommended the house to some folks and they went this January. They loved all of it!
We look forward to our next visit to paradise!

| We stayed at Casa Price February 21-28 and we loved it! The house was so beautiful and cozy and we had a spectacular view of the ocean and were a very short distance from the beach. Rosa was wonderful too. We went grocery shoopping with her and she was very helpful in answering any questions we had. She kept the house very neat and tidy and her meals were the best! Her enchilada cheese towers were awesome. We are so glad we chose to stay at Casa Price instead of staying in a hotel. We had all the privacy we could have ever wanted and the neighborhood is beautiful and just a short distance to town. I highly recommend Casa Price for your stay in Playa del Carmen. |

| This was our first stay at Casa Price the first week of Feb, 2004. It was a lovely house, and Rosa was a wonderful cook. The beach was beautiful and just a few steps away. What we appreciated most was the privacy of having our own house with a view of the ocean. We plan to go again next year. |

| We stayed at Casa Price last year. We have been going to Playa for about 5 years now. We have stayed at Condos and hotels but this was the best place we have ever stayed in. The house is beautiful, with a wonderful huge terrace that overlooks the ocean, with wonderful ocean breezes. No need for AC here. The best part is Rosa she is a wonderful cook and a wonderful person. She made our vacation the best we have ever had. We plan to go back as often as we can. |

| Our family had a wonderful time in Playa del Carmen. It is hands down the most beautiful beach that we have ever seen. The water is such a brilliant turquoise blue that it literally took our breath away when we first saw it. The accommodations made it all that much better. Casa Price is a beautiful home with gorgeous views of the ocean and a steady ocean breeze that flows through the home. Rosa was a wonderful surprise and made the vacation amazing. She actually prepared the best “authentic” Mexican food for us. Don’t get me wrong, the restaurants in the city were great, but Rosa’s meals were incredible. We will be returning ever chance we get. |

Thanks for opening your home for us to stay in. All four of us had a
wonderful time. The beach was close just like you said and we were glad to have the beach chairs and floats to use. I would higher recommend your home to anyone that wants the comforts of their own home away from home. Rosa was great even though we didn't use her to cook. I enjoyed doing all the
cooking with the window over looking the ocean, plus all four of us are
early risers and was up by 6:30 to 7 every morning with breakfast just being simple with toast or cereal.
Rosa did do our laundry at the end of the work that way we didn't have to take home dirty clothes. Rosa was there everyday to keep the house neat. Again,
thanks for the use of your home

| We had a wonderful time at Casa Price. We went in early June and it was beautiful! The ocean breeze is great in the house and the views are awsome! We went to Xel-Ha which is only about 30 minutes from the house which we highly reccomend. Rosa is wonderful and her Enchelidas are the best! |

| this was the first time that i rented a vacation home, and i wasn't disappointed. rosa was excellent, and although her english is limited, she is very fluent in hand signals! If you are wondering how the beach is, it is as beautiful as the picture. Also, since you are in more of a residential neighborhood, it is not very crowded. I was also able to snorkel no more than 30 yards off the beach. It had everything I had hoped for and I would recommend it to friends and family. |

| Robert and I had the privilege of staying at Casa Price last October and had such a wonderful time that we decided to stay again this October! The house is beautifully decorated and comfortable in every way. The master bedroom has a breathtaking view of the crystal blue ocean and white sandy beaches. It was a treat to fall asleep and to wake up listening to the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach. Rosa took such good care of us by keeping the house spotless, cooking us fabulous meals, and directing us to all of the different places we could experience. She has such a sweet disposition, and will gladly do whatever she can to make your stay enjoyable. My husband and I enjoyed taking long walks in the cool of the evening, taking in all of the beautiful architecture and gardens. A five minute taxi cab ride can take you into town where there are several excellent places to dine and shop. The neighborhood is safe and very quiet. I don't think you could get a better value anywhere else considering the size of the house, having your own personal chef, the excellent view, easy access to the beach, fabulous shopping within walking distance, personal housekeeper ... the list goes on! We'll be back and I'm looking forward to it immensely. |

We loved our stay at Casa Price and my husband really enjoyed remembering his growing up years in California speaking spanish with the Mexican citrus workers - so he was our interpreter for Rosa who was so wonderful! What a great cook! We went in April which was too hot. We would love to go again in Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb. We went scuba diving in Cozumel and had a fabulous trip! Wonderful clear water and lots of fish. Loved our walks into Playa each evening - we bought too much but we loved the shops! We even sneaked into the huge hotels next door - wow! The house is clean, cheerful and has an incredible view of the gorgeous green sea. We loved Casa Price!

| What a special and wonderful vacation myself, my daughter and my son-in-law had in Playacar staying at Casa Price. The location was perfect, the beautiful waters of the Caribbean just steps away. The view was fabulous, the turquoise water, the white sand and those entertaining pelicans circling and diving. The house was very clean and so nicely decorated, with all the amenities. What a treat to have Rosa each day squeeze fresh orange juice for us and prepare our breakfast request. Rosa showed us how to make tamales and other delicious Mexican treats, and gave a little help with the Spanish as well. Many mornings we would take our 15 minute walk to 5th Avenue where many tourist shops are located, and the coffee houses and the internet cafes. Casa Price is well located for making day trips up and down the coast. We stayed almost 3 weeks at Casa Price, enjoyed it very much, and look forward to returning. |

I had to write and tell everyone of the fantastic time, my wife and I had in Playacar at Casa Price. The house would have been great all by itself, but with Rosa, our stay was like going home to mom's house. Rosa was our real live search engine for Playa del Carman. She made our visit one to remember, and we are going back in November with the kids. It's hard to even compare other properties with casa price now that we've stayed there.
Thanks for the experience of a lifetime.

| We discovered Casa Price about six years ago, having vacationed in Playa Del Carmen for 10. The house is perfectly situated in the Playa Car subdivision with close proximity to the main 5th Avenue pulse of Town, across the street from the beach with the best beach front on the strip, unobstructed views of the ocean and Cozumel. The house is a perfect fit for my two sons and I with two rooms and a bath on the lower entrance level, with a private large master suite for me on the upper main level. It is well maintained with most comforts of home. Rosa makes the stay even more enjoyable with her cheerful manner, great food, impeccable care of the premises, and willingness to be available when you need her. She has become part of our family and we look forward to our visit each year. I am happy to take calls if anyone is interested in learning more about the area also. Well worth the trip! Molly |

| we just came back from our two-week vacation in playa del Carmen. At first I had some reseversations about the place, never been to Mexico and since we have teenagers and they are so hard to please, we were afraid there wasn't much to do there for them, boy was I wrong? they had a ball!Mrs. Price advised me that they wouldn't be bore, she was very right.The children loved the house, Rosa and her caring, sweet way, and they want to go back, now THAT says something, teenagers are NEVER happy with our decisions as to where to vacation So.. Being in Casa Price is like paradise. we fell in love with the place! and Rosa, what a wonderful person, very personable, honest, great cook too!! . We enjoyed the fact of being so secluded, but within a 10 min walk you have it all!. I have been to many places in the caribbean but the beaches in Mexico are just out of this world. I tell you if you rent Casa Price there will be no regrets....we will definitively go back....soon....! |

I just came back from my second trip and it was better than my first one. My two trips have been during the first week of June. I truly think that the more times I go to this tropical castle the more I love it. My partner and I have taken friends over with us each time and they have stated that Casa Price is one of their dream places to vacation. Rosita (housekeeper) is really becoming like our best friend - more like a family member. Rosita's care and smile is what we look forward every morning. Her presence is reallly priceless for guests. It is really hard to put in words how relaxing Casa Price can help visitors to feel during their stay so you got to be there!!! I was VERY reluctant to rent this place last year since I did not know anything about this home, but I leaned to trust my gut feelings once again. Felices Vacaciones!!!!
