About Curt Henderson
I have owned and rented out homes in Mexico for the last 20 plus years. I have a passion for the country and the people and one-day plan on spending a large part of my retired time there. I have never had a guest show up at Casa Blanca that was not blown away at just how nice it is and how friendly the staff is.
Your complete mind blown 100% satisfaction is our mission statement. We have a 20 year in a row of 5-star guest reviews with more 5-star guest reviews than any other home in Playa. That does not happen by accident. I understand the leap of faith involved with renting a vacation home in a foreign country from a person you have never met. That combined with the pressure the person designated with the responsibility of finding the vacation home for the family or group of friends is under. So, we have done everything we can think of to remove the stress and help with this leap of faith.
When you request info about Casa Blanca Beach House you will receive a 16-page guest book with not only information about the house and neighborhood but it includes info about Playa del Carmen, restaurants, dive shops, transportation, local attractions, emergency phone numbers, local medical offices and pharmacies, photographers, wedding planners and pretty much everything else that has come up over the last 15 years.
You will be provided with the cell phone numbers of the house manager an me so you can call or text anytime and as often as you need if you have questions or need something. We put you first and are responsive at your convenience not ours.
We hope you will stay with us.
Curt Henderson purchased this house in 2003
Why Curt Henderson chose Playa del Carmen
For the quality of the property and the convenience of the location.
This house was dramatically remodeled in 2016 and has USA/Canada custom quality accommodations and bathrooms. Every room of the house has air conditioning; this is not typical of most of the other homes available for rent in Playa.
The house is just 55 steps to the soft white sands of the Caribbean ocean and only a 5-minute walk to the famous 5th street in downtown Playa del Carmen.
What makes this house unique
Privacy and luxury come to mind first. It is a gated guarded neighborhood so you do not have the normal beach traffic. People cannot get into our neighborhood unless they belong there. The staff will make you feel like you are rich and famous. They do your Grocery shopping for you and laundry etc.
Guestbook comments from the owner
I have added this guest book on 1-29-06 in the hopes of sharing in the good memories of our guests and to gain feed back on thier experiences in order to continue to assure that everyones visit is a wonderfull one.

Girls Week at Casa Blanca
What a great place for a girls getaway! The house was great and was truly 50 steps from the beach. We were able to walk downtown to shop, eat, and drink. It was especially nice to have a maid and someone to get our groceries--we loved the fact that we didn't have to think about all those things like we do at home. It was a perfect getaway for us and I know we would love to do it again next year!!!
Best family trip ever!
Best family vacation ever! First time in another country too! Curt's staff was excellent! Just came daily to clean the house and did laundry. Constanista cooked several excellent meals for us in our home. This was great especially when we had been gone all day on an adventure. Felipe is the best guide ever! He helped arrange several outings customized for us. He always got us back and forth on time and was a genuine and pleats company. Julian and his son helped with any needs we had at home. Everyone was welcoming and we felt safe and comfortable.
Have already recommended this place!!
Family Vacation
This was the first time I've travelled to MX and booked a house instead of staying in a resort. WOW, I'm hooked! We had 8 of us and felt a home would be more beneficial. The moment you walk in, you feel comfortable. Well furnished, clean, comfy beds, daily maid service, and concierge service. You send your grocery list to the house manager and when you arrive the house is stocked! Not sure many home do that but this one sure does. The house can arrange transportation for you to/from airport. You can walk to the beach, to town, with local shops, restaurants, bars, and the ferry over to Cozumel. . The town is vibrant. The secure community this house is in made me feel very safe. I'm a planner and my description is everything I was looking for in a rental home. Our family plans to return next year.
Love staying at Casa Blanca
This is our second stay at Casa Blanca and we absolutely love it. There is enough room for everyone and the beach does not get any better. The concierge, Julian and his wife are amazing. They maintain the home and around if you need anything. Do not hesitate this home is close to everything.
Beautiful private neighborhood beach home in Playa close to everything
It has been almost a month since we stayed at Casa Blanca in Playa Car Phase I during Spring Break.
For those who have not rented this beautiful beach home please don't worry about the exact address transportation folks know where it is. It has views of the beach from 2 rooms and it is a 2 house barefoot walk
to the beach. Beach chairs and umbrellas are provided. Playa del Carmen is located 40 minutes from the Cancun airport and 2 1/2 hour nonstop flight from Austin, Texas.
My multi generational family of thirties, forties, fifties, sixties and teens really
enjoyed ourselves. It was the perfect beach break we all needed.
I appreciated Curt the owner accommodating us by preparing an extra room for
the teenage boys once our numbers grew with the addition of my daughter and son in law.
Judy, the housekeeper was very good. A beach house can get sandy and in disarray rather quickly
even though we always tidied up after ourselves and she was there everyday to clean. Julian the house manager was also attentive to our needs. We did not rent a car. 7 minute walk out of the gated community into town, 5 minutes if you go by beach.
I am so glad we had the cook prepare lunch for us on the day of our arrival. We were
all travel weary and it was wonderful to be dropped off by the transportation guy, Felipe, who by the way
is great, and walk into a home taking in all the delicious smells of lunch being prepared. We just had
to get situated, unpack, freshen up and go down for a lovely lunch we had requested.
We also followed some of Curt's food suggestions including H.C. Meats one day. Their meats and salsa are great. Good call. Honestly, we enjoyed staying at the house for 90% of our meals. We always had leftovers
at the ready and fresh fruits and yogurt for breakfast. Some in our group had never had
Oaxaca cheese and it was like discovering apple pie. We had it everyday in one day or another,
melted on nachos, inside a warm tortilla, etc. We grilled hamburgers one night by the pool. Walmart will be your best friend and about a $6 cab drive away. We also enjoyed our own private rooftop bar where we would congregate every evening after dinner for star gazing and enjoying the ocean breeze.
We hope to get back to Casa Blanca again soon as it was a bit hit for everyone in my family.
Great stay
We stayed at Casa Blanca for week in mid Feb. Cannot say enough good about our stay. Location was prime, service was outstanding from Julian and the maid. We followed Curts recommendation on restaurant Carbonicias, and found some others off 5th Ave. We had two granddaughters with us and they were disappointed in pool being cold. The beach was wonderful, as nice as Secrets M aroma Beach, which is very highly rated. This was our 14th year in Mexico, stayed in all inclusive resorts prior to Casa Blanca and my wife and I agreed that our stay at Casa Blanca was much more relaxing. We plan to return!
