The studio sits on the ground floor of Kaab South Beach, a mid-rise building in central Playa del Carmen. At 570 square feet (53 m²), it's a Garden Suite with direct access to a planted courtyard. The indoor-outdoor connection is visible in the second image, where a sliding glass wall opens onto a private patio with tropical plants, a pair of black director's chairs, and a small side table for morning coffee.
Inside, the layout is efficient. A queen bed occupies one end, separated from a small living area by a low wood-and-metal console. The dining table is a live-edge wood slab on black metal legs, paired with two upholstered chairs. A gray sectional sofa sits against the wall under a wire wall sculpture. The kitchen is compact but functional, with appliances and storage built into a single wall. The bathroom has a walk-in shower and modern fixtures. Everything comes furnished - linens, dishes, electronics - so a buyer can rent it out or move in immediately.
The building has a rooftop pool deck with ocean views, shaded by a bamboo pergola. The first image shows the pool area: turquoise water, wooden lounge chairs, Acapulco chairs, and the Caribbean visible beyond the rooftops of downtown. There's also a gym, a meeting room, and underground parking. Twenty-four-hour security, an elevator, and individual air conditioning units round out the practical features.
Location is the main draw. The studio is a short walk to the beach and to Fifth Avenue, the pedestrian strip running through downtown Playa del Carmen with restaurants, bars, boutiques, and cafés. The Cozumel ferry terminal, Plaza Fundadores, and the ADO bus station are all within a five-minute walk, which makes it practical for guests without a car and keeps occupancy rates high for short-term rentals.
The unit faces the interior garden, so it's quieter than street-facing units. Natural light comes through the glass wall and a skylight overhead. The finishes are contemporary but not flashy - neutral tones, wood accents, simple hardware. Storage is built in but limited, which is normal for a studio at this size.
The asking price is $205,882 USD, equivalent to roughly $3,500,000 MXN at recent exchange rates. HOA fees cover building maintenance, common areas, and security. The building is fully built and operational, with active short-term rental management available for owners who don't want to handle bookings themselves.
