Beachfront vacation rentals in Akumal

The home was exactly as described and looked just like the photos—beautiful and welcoming. The only issue was an unpleasant odor coming from one of the bathrooms, which we discovered was due to the toilet brush. Once we identified the source, we placed the brush in the backyard, and the smell was no longer a problem. The home was clean, the instructions were clear, and the property itself was stunning—just steps away from the beach. I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway.

What a wonderful week we just spent at Balam Ek! We truly did not want to leave. The house is centrally located in Akumal, within easy walking distance of La Buena Vida, a small convenience store, La Lunita, and the Jungle Cafe. Everything was sparkling clean and well-maintained by Leticia and Roberto, and the rooms were comfortable. The views were unbeatable, and the house was well-equipped with towels and kitchen equipment. Sun rises were especially beautiful here! If you want a sandy beach, this is not the house for you. We don’t mind an iron shore, and we swam in the ocean daily right in front of the house. Just make sure you bring water shoes because the volcanic rock is too sharp for bare feet. We would not hesitate to stay at Balam Ek again. Highly recommend!

The view was awesome the beds comfortable. Communication was awesome. We enjoyed everything about our stay

We had a lovely stay. Condo was perfect and exactly as explained. Bring some laundry detergent with you. Only downside was it wasn’t walkable to anything so you have to have a car but we knew this in advance. Akumal is 5 min away and Tulum is 20-40 depending on where you want to go. Lilian was super responsive and helpful.

We had a magical week at Adolfo’s place with our family of 5 adults and 2 kids. The location is spectacular and the kids loved being able to play on the beach and jump in the pool. Early risers will love the sunrise view from the beach. The location itself is an amazing jumping off point to enjoy Akumal (great taco spots in town!), Tulum, and local cenotes and eco parks. We were a bit anxious about not having AC in the main living area but the breeze was beautiful and it allowed us to really embrace indoor/outdoor living. The caretaking staff are wonderful and very helpful - they helped us arrange for massages at the house and kept the property meticulously clean. We also took advantage of Chef Carlos’s services and are so happy we did. The house itself is very comfortable. Showing its age in places but we appreciated it being un-fussy - especially with young kids. The kitchen is well-appointed with dishes but you’ll need to bring your own basic cooking supplies.

My family and I stayed at Diana’s place the week after Christmas. The condo is amazing. It is well located, close to the beach and in a beautiful setting. The kitchen has everything you need. From the moment I first made contact with her she was helpful. This included a long phone call where she was willing to talk through some of our travel plans (we had never been to the area) giving us great advice about some activities to do with our two teenage sons. When we arrived at the Cancun airport there was a snafu with our rental car. It was relatively late, and I called Diana to see if she had any ideas about transportation. She immediately spent a half hour reaching out to her local contacts to try to help us with transportation. She went above and beyond to help us. This was the best Air Bnb experience we have had and would definitely stay at one of Diana’s properties in the future.

Great spot right on the beach! Close enough to town to enjoy dinner, but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet solitude! Wonderful cenote access!

Amazing place to stay at. Splash pool in the backyard, cooling tub on the roof, and a large community pool in front of the house. When inside the gates you’re surrounded by 5 resorts where you can purchase day passes too. Beautiful PGA golf course is a cherry on top. Our family of 5 had a wonderful time.

I love the location and it was a very good neighborhood and everybody including the host was responsive.

Great apartment in a nice condo complex. It’s worth noting that if you’re after beach time to note that Playa del Carmen and that coast gets a lot of seaweed from May thru August apparently, so be prepared for the smell and not using the sea much. The apartment is wonderful, well lit, very spacious and well equipped. The host is very responsive. The pool setup is great, added bonus having same shade over the pool. Staff at the complex are fantastic. Overall we enjoyed our stay here

Carlos was quick to respond with any questions or concerns we had. The pictures represented the space very well. Bed and couch were super comfy. Water pressure wasn’t ideal, but in large complex’s that can sometimes be the case.

Cruz con Mar is one of our favorite places to stay in PDC. We have been in quite a few different units in the building. This one was one of the best. The ease of the door lock and the updated thermostats might be a strange complement but IYKYK. The beds were very comfortable and the water pressure in the showers were great.

Five star stay! From the welcome guide provided at booking to the communication throughout our trip this was the best Airbnb experience we’ve had to date. The Airbnb was exactly as described and the perfect location to enjoy Playa to the fullest. Can’t say enough good things. 10/10 wouldn’t stay anywhere else when visiting again!

We’ve stayed at a lot of Airbnbs, and this one was the best one yet—such a high value for a low price. Camille and Edir were phenomenal hosts; Edir especially met us in person a few times and was so amazing and gave above-and-beyond service. The apartment itself is incredibly beautiful, exactly as shown in the photos, but feels even more spacious than the photos. I was so impressed with the laundry service, daily housekeeping and beautiful pool right on the beach. This stay was an enormous value!!! Thank you Edir and Camille!!

We loved our stay at Rachel's Beautiful Condo! As the pictures shows, her space is wonderful in so many ways! It is beautifully decorated, clean, spacious and comfortable, and she is a kind, responsive and fantastic host! We would not hesitate to stay here again. The pool at the Elements is fantastic, the food at the ocean grill is great and so convenient, there is an awesome yoga center just across the street, and the ocean views are great. We really enjoyed our stay there - 5 stars!!!

Super place and super host.

We loved the stay! We’ve stayed in a good amount of houses on this beach and this one is our favorite! The house attendant Eric who is the chef is the best!! Can’t say enough, he’s so nice makes the best food and it’s a killer deal. We usually like to go out to a few expensive nice restaurants while we are there, we went to one and all decided Eric’s cooking is better so we canceled our other reservations and ate at the house for all the meals! Definitely add that. The house is perfectly clean and in great shape. It’s set up perfectly and we can’t wait to come back! Jeff was great to work with and we even had to change the dates of our trip and he was more than accommodating! We can’t say enough about our stay.

Fantastic stay. Great host and great location. 100% recommended

We loved everything about our stay at the bungalow on the beach at Bahia Soliman. The house was beautiful in a unique, casual, and authentic regional Mayan palapa style, fitting the location perfectly. That contributed to an overall ambience of tropical tranquility. The beach is lovely, and right out your door. The water is a vibrant turquoise and warm, views stunning. Our family of 6, including 2 toddlers, all came away feeling like we had the most relaxing vacation in a long time. Much of that relaxed feeling was due to our fabulous onsite staff. Our chef, Fabian, prepared us delicious food; everything from classic Mexican fare to regional Mayan specialties, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He accommodated our dietary restrictions and toddler requests with ease. He even packed us a fabulous lunch to go for flights home at the end of our stay. Carlos and Ismael kept the house clean and tidy at all times. They helped with concierge service and every request with pleasure

We had an amazing stay at Susan’s place in Tulum! The house was perfect for our large group of 12 - spacious enough for everyone to hang out together but also have their own private areas when needed. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to buy groceries and cook meals at home. The property felt very secure, and there was convenient parking for those who had cars. The on-site staff were incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our stay. A huge shoutout to Susan, who went above and beyond by helping me plan a dinner party for 21 people! Everything - from the food and staff to the location and DJ - was a total hit. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone visiting Tulum, especially if you're traveling with a group. We’ll definitely be back!

IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE, REST SUPER RICO THE LANDSCAPES ARE BEAUTIFUL LA PLAYA IS NOT SO CLOSE BUT FOR REST THAT WAS WHAT I WANTED IS SUPER GOOD UCHAS THANKS RAFAEL FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT

We had a wonderful family vacation in Akumal! The unit was perfect for us—traveling with our 9-year-old and 4-month-old baby, it had everything we needed. We enjoyed the pools and cooked great meals at the property. Also, the rooftop is perfect for sunset views! The hosts were incredibly friendly and responsive, and gave us a great recommendation for Beached Bikini, a nearby beach bar. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful and quiet getaway!

The place was beautiful and looked just like the pictures! The area is remote and on a dirt road approx 15-20 minutes from Tulum City which we were aware of! We enjoyed the peace and quiet. They have "door man" if you will in the building at all times for any building assistance. Jessy was very responsive!

5-star Airbnb, no doubt! Everything was just as described. The proximity to the beach is perfect! Host is super professional! If I had to be really picky, the only things I didn’t love were the overly modern style of the place (everything feels huge) and the pool, which isn’t very inviting. But that’s just my personal taste, go for it if you like the pictures!
