Please note: sometimes the ocean brings sargasso (sargassum seaweed) up on the beach. It is not predictable and is a part of nature.

We apologize in advance if the ocean brings the sargasso during your stay.

We had an incredible stay—truly one of the best homes we’ve experienced in all our travels. It was perfect for our two families (eight people total), offering plenty of space and comfort for everyone.The house was exceptionally well equipped, including water toys like kayaks, boogie boards, water shoes, and goggles, which we could take straight out into the crystal-clear water. It made enjoying the ocean effortless and fun.Pancho and Mercedes took outstanding care of us throughout our stay. They cleaned daily and prepared several dinners for us, each one absolutely delicious. They genuinely made our trip extra special. Brittney was also fantastic—extremely responsive and helpful during the planning process and in getting us settled.A helpful tip for future guests: consider doing your grocery shopping in Tulum. The stores there are much larger and generally offer better prices than those in Akumal.Overall, this was a 10/10 experience, and we would absolutely stay here again.

One of our Favorite VRBO rentals!

This house was awesome! I rent from VRBO often and this was one of the best houses we have ever stayed at. Poncho and Mercedes go above and beyond to make you comfortable without crowding you. The house is clean and beautiful, the pool bigger than we expected and right on the beach! We were extremely pleased with every aspect of this rental.

The VRBO listing is accurate. We did feel like we were in paradise. Our 6 to 8 year old grandchildren had a blast with both the beach and the pool as their playground. Mercedes and Pancho added to our serenity by the care they took of the house and beach. Just amazing.

This was our second time staying at this magnificent property in this magnificent location. And we will be back! The privacy and security are worth so much to us. And it's a short and easy drive into Tulum and to the beach road. Great amenities available at this property including two stand-up paddle boards and two kayaks. And the swimming pool is just the perfect temperature and size. Highly recommend this property, particularly for families.

Fantastic getaway

We absolutely loved our week at Casa Playa Del Caribe. It is located on a private beach and is so quite and calm, away from all the crowds that dominate much of the Mayan Riviera. We enjoyed snorkeling right in front of the house. The reef begins not too far off the shore and we saw tons of beautiful fish, sea turtles, manta rays, octopus, and more. The house itself is awesome. Very spacious and very comfortable. We will definitely be returning.

Casa Playa del Caribe

This is our second visit and it was again, amazing. The house is more beautiful than the pictures and the location could not be more perfect. Watched the best sunrises from the private beach, and the water out front is perfect for snorkeling. Brittany who manages the property is responsive and wonderful to work with. Lastly Pancho and Mercedes took such good care of us! Merecedes is an amazing cook . I highly recommend having her cook for you while you’re there. Pancho keeps the place looking beautiful!!!!

This property is as beautiful as it looks. Yes, the beach is just out your back door. Extremely private. Most days we had the whole bay to ourselves. After walking the bay , we realized that this property had the best beach in the bay. The snorkeling was amazing and perfect for beginners. Poncho and Mercedes were wonderful. They kept everything clean and cooked a wonderful supper for us one night. It was perfect for our family vacation.

Perfect Family Escape

Our extended family, ranging from 14 to 80+ years, spent the week before Christmas enjoying this slice of paradise. The setting on the beach is perfect. The 4 bedrooms / 4 bathrooms comfortably accommodated everyone, and the central living/dining/kitchen provided space for us all to gather. The on-site caretakers, Pancho and Mercedes, were responsive and great. Short drives to both Akumal and Tulum for exploring. And best of all ... no mosquitos at the house! Stay here - you will love it!

A Week in Paradise

The home and it's location were perfect. There was plenty of room for all of us, and the pool and private beach were everything. We swam in the pool, and went snorkeling and kayaking in the ocean on a daily basis. We walked along the beach in both directions & ended up at the "Jungle Fish" restaurant which was excellent. Poncho & Mercedes were wonderful & cooked us a meal one night which was also excellent. We saw Iguanas, Hermit Crabs, a Seagull, and other beautiful birds every day. And the view of the beach and ocean from every part of the property inside and out, was absolutely breathtaking.

Wonderful stay in Akumal

My wife and I spent a week at Casa Playa Del Caribe, along with my brother and sister and their spouses. We had a wonderful time. The house was fabulous, exactly as described. The caretakers, Pancho and Mercedes, were warm and welcoming, providing great service while respecting our privacy. Brittany was an excellent host, with prompt and thorough communication in advance and throughout our stay. The outdoor living area and beach were wonderful. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. Also, the snorkeling at the reef was very good (much better than we experienced on our snorkeling side trip to Cozumel). We had some very good dinners in Akumal. In all, I highly recommend Casa Playa Del Caribe as a vacation home away from home!

Exceeded Expectations

This house truly was a little piece of paradise for us. The beach was even more private than we imagined, with only a few people a day walking by. The property manager was very helpful and caring, and answered all of our questions quickly. The property’s caretakers, Pancho and Mercedes, we’re also wonderful and helped to make our stay in Akumal that much easier. The location of this villa is also ideal. It’s away from the huge crowds of Cancun, but only 25 minutes from Tulum if you want to get out and explore. If this villa is on your shortlist, go ahead and book it. You will love every minute. Thanks Again, Brittany!

Unbelievable! Better than the pics in the listing!

My family of 8 stayed at Casa Playa del Caribe from March 28- April 2, 2021 and the only negative is that we weren't there long enough. The home is beautiful and located right on the beach with so many different places and ways to enjoy the sun and sand. Pancho and Mercedes were wonderful and made sure we were well taken care of. Pancho arranged for a Dr. to come to the house to perform a COVID test so that we could fly back to the US- it was quick and easy so don't stress about that. They also prepared a few meals for us and the food was delicious but so was their presentation. I highly recommend this property and will be back!

Exceptional Location Akumal

We really enjoyed staying at your home! We like being on the beach but not in a resort! The location was great. A 30’ beach walk to Akumal Bay. And a 15’ walk in the other direction to Beached Bikini for tacos and ceviche! Lots of room for our big family, and a kitchen to meet all your needs if you really want to cook! The caretakers are wonderful and treat you so well. They will also cook for you! We used the location to travel to Mérida, Cichinitiza, Coba, Tulum, Cancún and Playa Del Carmen. We watched turtles come to our beach and lay eggs. There were bigs storms while we were here but it never slowed us down. Dramatic and wonderful!
