A little piece of paradise!
I stayed in the St. Barts - 3rd and 4th floor suite which is totally private and so quiet most of the time. Occassionaly I'd hear a bit of a show or event but nothing too disturbing. Most nights I had the doors wide open for the great ocean breezes to come in. I booked via VRBO and my amazing travel agent and this place was EXACTLY as advertised. The photos did not disappoint in the actual experience. In fact, they did not mention the second toilette on the top floor terrace which is super handy at night. The place is super clean and has everything I need for a two week stay, even a washer tucked away on the terrace. It's central to the beaches and the main touristy 5th Avenue but I'd suggest eating anywhere but there to save a lot of money. Like a cappucino is 75 pesos near here but only 45 on the main street. Joe and the cleaning staff work really hard to keep this place pristine and running nicely. The humidity obviously causes some issues as metal rusts so easily but not a big deal IMO. The lift for heavy objects - aka dumb waiter - is a thrill to use (I had only ever read about them) as well as being super practical. Those water jugs are heavy. And useful for luggage. And with the stairs, you can pause at each level and just relax to the sound of the water flowing into the dipping pool. They are VERY pet friendly and my dog had her own bowls and bed waiting for her to arrive. So sweet. Anything I needed - they were there ASAP. They could not be more helpful or accomodating. Like showing me the trick to getting the coffee filter thingy back in - gently lift the top of the coffee maker to fit it in. I highly recommend finding Taco MX on 10th St for their amazing tacos and happy vibe place. There are stores and shops in every direction. A special treat is ASI restaurant right on the beach, literally your feet are in sand. Their shrimp taco is to die for. The hipster crowd is away from the main touristy area on Calle 10 around 15-20 Street. You can get some decent tacos on the street for 25-30 pesos which is a fraction of the price on 5th Avenue. Also lots of smoothies and fresh juice places and a yoga studio. I'm really starting to fall in love with Mexico, Mexicans, the way of life here, the less agressive even gentle hustlers. They work so hard and there's so much competition but they are cheerful and we can laugh together even if we can really speak the same language. Needless to say - I recommend this place without any hesitation except for the stairs for those with mobility issues but they also a ground floor suite, though there's still a couple of stairs. But knowing Joe, I'm sure he's got a ramp or solution for that.

Cozy Accomodations
We enjoyed our stay at the Plantaion House. The hosts were very prompt to respond to any question asked. The house creates a nice little community with the other guests. It's located in a perfect location. Minutes from the beach, minutes from the 5th ave strip, minutes from Great Restaurants.

Wonderful stay ... great location,clean and comfortable Carribean style suite. Very attentive to my needs.
I arrived and Dan was waiting for me to make sure I got in alright. I really liked the room and outdoor shower (had inside as well) and the location was perfect to 5th St. and that all that the town had to offer. quiet side street and far enough away from the bars to not be kept up at night. A little off the ocean but still within view and sound of the waves. Thanks Dan for your attention to all my requests and the cab back was less than other postings and was 20 mins early. I will recommend to my friends who don't need a giant lobby ,pool or large number of guests. very quiet and clean as a whistle. I also donated my shirt to MX. that blew off the drying line and into the vacant lot next door...Lol Best D L Chicago

Charming space with a lovely view, and centrally located.
We loved the view from the bedroom terrace. This place is charming and has everything you could need. It's centrally located, near beach and 5th avenue for dining or shopping. The lift was useful for carrying luggage and water jugs upstairs. Joe was always easy to reach and helpful whenever we had a problem. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back.

phenominal as always
Joe continues to impress with his rental properties at Plantation House, meticulously cleaned, fully stocked, calm and quiet environment and Joe was always available with just a phone call for any concerns. Strongly recommend and can't wait to get back down.

Oasis
Waking up to the view from my bed in the penthouse suite was... exactly what I needed. The large balcony, the view and outdoor shower are the icing on the cake. I’ve stayed many times at The Plantation House and stayed in several of the suites... it is such a gem. The details. The decor. The courtyard. It’s very central, to everything .... location, location. I enjoy Playa... but I enjoy walking through those courtyard doors, closing them behind me and relaxing in this oasis that is The Plantation House.

Lovely place
Great stay at plantation house. We booked the st Barth suite which was roomy enough for us and our two daughters. Great sea views and central location. And Joe and Francoise have been amazing with the logistics. We’d love to go back.

Very nice rental in an excellent location
My wife and I stayed in the St. Lucia suite which is one bedroom plus a large covered veranda with ocean view. We like to cook some of our own meals and the kitchen was fairly well equipped for stove-top cooking. The local Mega super market is nearby and also a Walmart but we found everything we wanted at Mega. The location is also central to restaurants of all price ranges, shopping and walking. The owner was on-site frequently and attentive to our needs. The housekeeper spent at least an hour tidying up twice during our stay. Overall, a good value and we would probably stay here again if in Playa.

Charming, clean condo; easy walk to beach, restaurants
The name Plantation House suits this building exactly: colonial looking, quaint, eclectic and charming. We rented the 1-bedroom called St. Lucia, which was on the top (3rd) floor. Comfortable bed, good amenities, very clean. The deck off the bedroom upstairs was a big plus: two deck chairs overlooking the ocean in the not-too-far distance, exactly as shown in the photo. We rented three different condos during our stay in Mexico this trip, and my husband and I agree that we liked this place best: location and view was great. We could easily walk to the Tukan Beach in minutes (our preferred beach), la Quinta Avenue was only a couple of blocks away, restaurants and stores nearby, and the street itself was pretty quiet overall. There is likely loud music at night no matter where you go in Playa if you’re near La Quinta; but it wasn’t troublesome at this spot. Owner Joe’s instructions / access to the keys was perfect; Joe himself was on the property a few times doing this and that (nice to see the owners present). We would stay here again.

Lovely place to stay, comfortable, central location.
Plantation House – Very pretty, a Caribbean-style place with a very cold, plunge pool (thank goodness as it was hot!) in the central courtyard. We stayed in “St. Bart’s” on the 3rd floor of the rear bldg. This is 3 flights up to a small living/dining combo, 1 bath with shower & small kitchenette. We did not cook but reheated leftovers, stored ice, a few refrigerated items, chilled beverages, & snacks. There is a short, wooden, spiral staircase up to the bedroom with a patio with ocean view, outdoor shower, and outdoor half-bath. No privacy concerns for using the facilities at night. Plenty of room for a couple. Surroundings & decor reminded us of staying on a boat. There was also a washer and a line for drying on the third-floor patio. Despite being very humid, items did dry overnight. We didn’t use these, but there are also chairs & umbrella if you want to go to the beach where there is not a beach club. We would absolutely stay again! Tip – It may not be known by it’s name, so tell the taxi drivers “1st between 14th & 16th.” Generally quiet despite it’s central location, with the exception of club noise late night ‘til quite late/early, depending on your viewpoint.

Plantation house
Thank you for sharing your experience here. We're happy you found our design and decor appealing. You've offered a wonderful description of our place, thank you. .. If I may add just a few details to clarify for our readers; The Plantation house does have an easy to operate, Electric Lift, for your suitcases and groceries, etc. so you won't need to carry those up with you :) St Barts is a two level penthouse. More accurately; it has a Straight set of stairs that have 4 winding steps making a 180degree turn up to the bedroom and private terrace. Spiral staircases tend to disorientate folks, so we didn't incorporate them here. True our location is very central and the street is generally very quiet, the night clubs that are a couple blocks away do not disturb most of our guests, though sometimes on the weekend nights, they may be heard in the distance. The pool is very refreshing during the warmer months. We are looking into adding a solar heater for the cooler months, for our guest's comfort. It was a pleasure meeting you both in person and we look forward to having you back, when you visit Playa again !
