I really like the studios myself but on vacation, there's no real cooking on my agenda....nah uh, no

We are looking for a condo rental vacation rentals by owners in Playa del Carmen in late January. I am checking VRBO but there are so many different complexes I have no idea where to start. We are looking for a 1 bedroom on or very near the beach, vacation rentals by owners want to spend less than $1000 for 7 nights. Any advise would be helpful.
If it's off-season, Xaman Ha may have 1 bedrooms in your budget. It's an older complex with a pool, on the beach. It's a very short walk to the main drag (5th Av) of Playa Del Carmen. vacation rentals by owners There are newer complexes in town, and on the other end of PDC, but most of those are pricier. Xaman Ha is very convenient. We've stayed there a couple of times and were pleased. There are a few large grocery stores nearby as well.
Look at this one. I've stayed vacation rentals by owners at Yebo a couple of times and for the money and location, its a great option. Not on the beach but only 1 short block up. The kitchenette's are pretty tiny but the 1BR is really big.
But if you are willing to go a block off the beach, with ocean views, you can do it. I know of a nice condo like that at that price at that time. I have no intention of advertising it here though. Email me eileend10 at verizon.net and we can discuss it if you like.
ginger, yes it is a huge difference. Is there a reason you feel you need the space? vacation rentals by owners Personally I can't really imagine cooking in the studios but you could do so easily in the 1 BR. I've been at pre-dinner cocktail parties in the 1BR with 8 people and plenty of room to mingle. They are very spacious and well equipped. The studios, smaller and basic but clean, secure, perfectly located and one of the few real bargains left in Playa
I really like the studios myself but on vacation, there's no real cooking on my agenda....nah uh, no way!!! I generally vacation rentals by owners pick up breakfast, vacation rentals by owners some light lunch stuff and snacks/beverages @ Mega for Yebo. There are just too many fabulous places to eat out and can be done reasonably to make cooking worthwhile IMO.
Mega is an easy walk but I usually take a cab back with several bags of groceries. Cab from Mega to Yebo is no more than 25 Pesos (@$2). WARNING the plastic bags they'll pack your groceries in are WIMPY.
