What's included in the rate?+
All 4 bedrooms, private pool, beach access, all amenities, daily housekeeping, pool cleaning, and fast WiFi. Airport transfer and concierge services (chef, massage, yoga) are available at additional cost.
How far is it from 5th Avenue?+
About a 10-minute walk via Playacar Phase 1, or 8 minutes along the beach to the pier. The Cozumel ferry is also about 8 minutes by foot along the sand.
Is it family-friendly?+
Absolutely. Casa Karma is ideal for families. The gated Playacar community has 24/7 security, the beach is calm and safe for swimming, and the home has everything families need for a relaxed stay.
