Waterfront vacation rentals in Tulum Municipality

Beautiful apartment, gorgeous windows and a floor overlooking the trees. There is everything you need.

We really enjoyed our stay at Marianna’s air bnb! It’s in a great location. Walking distance to downtown and a lot of amazing restaurants are very close by. About a 20 minute bike ride to the beach. There are lots of places to rent bicycles. The room is exactly what it looks like in the pictures. Some previous reviews said that there is a restaurant in the air bnb building, and that they serve drinks/snacks by the pool, but that’s not the case. Lots close by though! And you’re allowed to bring your own drinks to the pool. There is a very well equipped superstore across the street where you can get everything that you need. The pools are very beautiful, but need a little maintenance. The tiny tiles are coming off and leave a lot of sediment. The gym is very tiny and does not have a lot to work with. The staff are very friendly and helpful! Overall we had a really nice stay!

ANTAL is a wonderful place to stay! It is super quiet and has absolutely beautiful design inside the apartment and in the building common areas. The pool and common areas were fantastic with comfortable lounge furniture, gentle activities (cornhole and giant jenga), and lots of shade. There is a 10 minute drive down a dirt road, but that does keep things quiet. The only negative was that there was a lot of sargasso on the beach while were were there, but that was true of absolutely everywhere along the coast.

The place is wonderful and our host was great as well. Location is perfect, it is a beachfront property so you always wake up to the sound of the waves and the birds. The place is a walk distance of restaurants and cafes so it made our life so much easier.

Lori and Mark went above and beyond what is expected from AirBnB hosts, giving tons of recommendations and local tips and even helping with arranging transportation for my friends and me. They were SUPER responsive and friendly! The most gracious hosts I think I’ve ever had.

Very nice place to stay. Comfortable and a great location close to town and the beach area. Daniel provided lots of helpful recommendations, and we enjoyed having this nice home base to explore Tulum from.

Clean apartment close to a nice beach. About a 5-10 minute walk to beach. Multiple pools to use. Definitely would recommend getting a rental car as it’s in a more remote area with no walkable restaurants/stores.

Mara’s place was exactly what I was looking for! It was my first time to Tulum and the location was incredible- so close to the beach and a very short distance from town. There are so many gorgeous beach clubs just 5 minutes away to enjoy. Mara was super communicative and helped me tremendously with whatever I needed- renting a bike, excursions, grocery stores etc. the place itself was extremely quiet, spotless clean, and exactly as described. Far enough away from the super tourist areas but close enough to tap in and enjoy the scene :) as a solo female traveler this was perfect for me. Everyone at the reception was also so helpful and lovely. Bed was super comfy!! I have never reached out to a host as much as I did on this trip (solo travel anxiety and first time to Mexico) and Mara was so patient and always available! Felt like I had a friend there with me. Highly recommend!!

Our stay at Jessica and Sebastian’s Airbnb in Akumal was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, they went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. We hosted an approved event, and the space was more than accommodating — everyone had room to relax and enjoy. Jessica was incredibly communicative, especially with our event planner, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. The on-site staff were also amazing — attentive, helpful, and always willing to assist with anything we needed. Whether you're planning a family getaway or an intimate approved event, this location is an absolute gem. We can’t thank Jessica and Sebastian enough for making our stay unforgettable. Highly recommend! Our stay at Jessica and Sebastian’s Airbnb in Akumal was nothing short of magical.

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.

This was a fantastic place. My husband and I came down for a quick visit and had a wonderful time here. Everything was perfect down to the privacy, the outdoor seating, beachfront. I loved that I could open all the front doors and allow the constant ocean breeze to roll through the house. There were great restaurants and shops within walking distance from the beach. Our host very communicated with us from the time of booking till we left. He gave us suggestions for different places to eat and things to do. The staff was amazing! Every day the cleaning service would come by and tidy up the sand and the salt covered windows to keep a beautiful view all the time. Reed our host set up a Couples massage one evening at the villa that was so good. This was worth every penny, and so much better than being in the resorts.

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.

The location and this property was so beautiful! I can’t believe how private the property felt, the outdoor space was amazing and the views really can’t be beat. We rented golf carts to get around and that was so much fun, definitely would recommend doing that! Scott was incredible, he was one of the most communicative hosts I’ve ever had! He checked in on us in person a few times and sent messages regularly to make sure we had everything we needed and to see if we had questions. He gave great tips and recommendations throughout our whole stay and really made the experience special. The whole area had a power outage due to some heavy rain for a day or so and he was completely on top of keeping in touch, sending updates, and doing extra things to keep us comfortable. We would 100% stay here again and recommend this home to anyone! Every part of our experience was really fantastic and we truly had an amazing time!

This place is heaven! I now understand why this place has a perfect review score: it truly lives up to all of the expectations set, and then some. The house is super peaceful and private-with two very helpful and friendly caretakers onsite when needed, but totally out of your way when not. We basically lived in the pool and adjacent palapa and just lounged for 5 days in this small slice of paradise. Don't expect to swim in the ocean (we got lucky and the sargassum subsided 1 afternoon) -- but its not an issue at all. The pool is amazing + there are so many cenotes and swimming spots within a 5-20 minute drive (15 mins from Xelha, highly recommend). The inside is exactly everything a couple needs - it felt like a luxury suite at a 5 star resort. Large comfy bed, nice bathroom, and decent sized kitchen and living room -- all super clean and well stocked. We grocery shopped and cooked a few meals + there are many decent restaurants within a 5-20 min walk or short drive. We will be back!

We had a great stay. The property was spacious with lots of enclosed yard space around the pool that was great for our kids, and having the separate guest house was really nice. The location was also great, just one block from great restaurants and shops. Short drive to the beach and cenotes as well.

Beautiful stay, could not be a more perfect spot to snorkel right off the beach. Great for nature lovers — a quiet, restful spot; two restaurants within walking distance, very nice responsive staff help you get set up with transport and tours. Would come back again!

We enjoyed our 7 day honeymoon in the YalKulCai condo. It was so artistic and clean and quiet. We rented a car, the walk to the main beach is 2km. There are a couple restaurants close by that we enjoyed. We also visited Tulum and Xel-ha, sat by the pool and visited a private Cenote.

Exactly as advertised - this is a piece of paradise. Natalie was very helpful, and her suggestions were spot on. The private cenote tour she recommends is one of the greatest things our family has ever experienced. We rented an electric golf cart for our week stay, as one of our family members tires when walking in the heat. We drove it to restaurants every day and were glad for it, although without mobility issues no cart would be needed as everything is walkable. Such an incredible location. We loved the beach access, the snorkelling, the pool, the balcony, the easy walk to snorkel in the lagoon, and also with turtles. The house keepers kept the place spotless. We took Natalie's advice and pre-arranged a driver to pick us up at the airport, and we stopped for groceries on the way. If you plan to cook, pre-shopping is a must.

The condo was wonderful and Michaela was an incredible host. We enjoyed the amazing views and comfortable apartment and felt very well taken care of. Michaela was remarkably responsive when a couple little things came up and made the entire experience smooth. The location on Half Moon Bay was perfect- we snorkeled right out front of the building, using the ample equipment they provided, and loved walking to the beach bars in Akumal (especially Buena Vida and La Lunita). It was also an easy walk to the lagoon, which was a must see as well. Having seen Tulum, we were so glad to have the much more laid back vibe of Akumal. The condo was perfectly located for an easy but peaceful stay with lots of swimming in the pool and staring at the blue water. For what it’s worth, the elevator was working almost the entire time we were there, but was out for part of a day. We did not end up making use of the rooftop area- it wasn’t really necessary with the lovely deck on the apartment.

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

We ended up here on a whim as our original Airbnb we had turned out to be a bust. Cherri saved us by letting us book 30 min before we arrived and walking into her place felt like a dream. The views are breathtaking and the place was spotless. The kitchen had everything you could think of and felt just like home. Check in for us was late in the day but the process was simple and keys were right where they were supposed to be. The breakfast place across the street was phenomenal and we went twice in three days. There’s only A/C in the bedroom but great cross ventilation in the rest of the living space. Easy walk to Akumal beach or the lagoon. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely place in beautiful setting with ocean view and constant sound of the surf. We've stayed before and will come back. While there's no beach access, we don't mind - just go to the beach or lagoon nearby.

We had a wonderful stay at La Bahia. The host was helpful before we booked and afterwards with any questions as well as instructions. The staff at the condo was also attentive, including fixing a broken freezer very quickly. The beach access was superb despite the sargassum this time of year. We'd recommend getting a car or stopping in a bigger town with a full grocery store before heading to the Airbnb. Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend La Bahia to anyone looking to visit Akumal!

excellent place and location right on the beach! the pool and garden is also very beautiful. Perfect for our relaxing vacation in nature... it is located away from the more popular touristy area and in a large private condominium complex so it was very peaceful with lots of wildlife to see.
