Beachfront vacation rentals in Akumal

This is one you don’t want to miss if you’re looking for ocean front in Tulum. And if you don’t take advantage of Eric and Paula who live in a casita next to house you’re crazy. Eric is an exceptional chef and cooked for us everyday. And you can’t go to a restaurant for anything near having him prepare fine dining. David was informative from the beginning and everything there was perfect. We will definitely be back again. Thanks again to David, Eric and Paula for making this a memorable vacation.

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.

Our family had a wonderful vacation at Jamie's Mareazul vacation home. The home was beautiful, clean. The view of the sea was spectacular and even more beautiful than the photos. The resort is accessible and high quality. The restaurants were expensive, but convenient. It is a bit of a hike to PDC, but the location allowed for a quiet, peaceful vacation away from the noise. Jamie was an excellent host. She responded to every question promptly and was extremely communicative and helpful. I cannot more highly recommend this location!

This condo and it's host Kelley deserve way more than a five star rating ! Beautiful accomodations and views. The six of us ( all retirees ) stayed the month of February 2025. Amazing restaurants and such friendly and helpful locals. The views from the condo are amazing, seeing cruise ships come in and leave Cozumel daily. We saw dolphins , stingrays and fish in the sea right from the pool. The condo was equipped with everything we needed to make us feel right ar home. We would highly recommend Nah Ha condominiums unit 101. Bill Strauch , one of 3 handsome guys traveling with the 3 wicked sisters !

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 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!!!

Superb hosts, primo location. The three separate (and joined by a stairwell) apartments were very good for the family with young children especially, and they stayed on the ground floor due to strollers etc. For the couples without kids, we socîalized at restaurants since there was not really one central location to gather. The shared pool is not really a place to lounge but is super refreshing and the kids loved it!

Our extended family of ten stayed very comfortably in this lovely house. We enjoyed the space, the comfortable furniture, great snorkeling, and a lovely meal made by Jerry and Isabella. The house was as pictured, we found it peaceful, safe, and private. We loved sitting on the beach, and found the kitchen well supplied.

We had a great stay at this peaceful spot in Xpu Ha. The property was very clean and comfortable, with a private pool, well-equipped communal gym, and friendly staff throughout the complex. The host was responsive and offered a partial refund for one day when we ran into a water issue, which we appreciated. A few small upgrades—like quieter fans, kitchen essentials, and more breathable bedding—would make it even better. Just a heads-up: you’ll definitely want to rent a car, as the location is quite remote and not walkable to the beach or shops. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Would recommend!

Matt plus the staff at Zamá Homes did an amazing job communicating with my family and me, and making us feel right at home. The place is beautiful; the photos don’t do the place justice. It’s as pictured and better. The location is amazing; walking distance to all the major clubs, restaurants, etc. And the hosting staff, once again, made this place feel like we were staying at a resort not just any Airbnb. 100% would stay here again next time I’m in Playa Del Carmen.

We had a wonderful stay in Akumal. We were a group of 5 adults and 3 kids (infant, 3,6) and the place was well set up for our group. The beach was beautiful and so accessible right out the back door, the pool was perfect for the kids, and the outdoor space was so comfortable and inviting. The neighborhood was peaceful and relaxed. There was a portable crib available for the baby. We had chef Carlos come for a few breakfasts and dinners and the food was amazing-such a treat. We visited Akumal Natura Rescue, the Tulum ruins, and Yax-kin cenote, all wonderful and close by. Would highly recommend this place.

First, I would like to express my gratitude for the level of help Mac gave to, two very old, technically challenged travelers. It was dark and rainy, and we were travel weary. Mac stayed on the phone with us until we reached his amazing Airbnb. I have been renting beach houses for 15 years and this place by far was the most impressive place yet. We had several tours planned, and we truly did not want to leave paradise to explore Tulum, but we did. The area is not only historically and culturally rich, but has everything you can expect from a tropical beach environment. Also, a big thank you to Edwin and his lovely wife who were great neighbors, we only saw them when we needed them ☺️ Jim and Dawn

Thierry is a great host! Very responsive and able to assist in anything you need during your stay. His condo was perfect for our family vacation. We stayed here for a week and enjoyed the pool, the fabulous beach right out front and loved how walkable the area was; very safe, even at night. Taxis always waiting outside too if you need to go a little further. This location is perfect and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The beds were super comfortable and the condo was clean, quiet, and the AC was excellent when needing to cool off after being in the sun all day. We will be back! 😎

This house is excellent! Don't think twice to book. You can't beat this beach access and pool. Rooms are spacy with private bathrooms for all. Plenty of area's for the whole family to hang out. Camille was an excellent host, very accommodating, provided filtered water and brought extra towels right away when we asked :)

I chose Ron’s apartment to be close to some friends and the location was perfect. The unit is clean and has a private pool! Just what I was looking for! Thanks Ron

Beautiful property which is well maintained. Host was very responsive and helpful. Recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful vacation.

Great hidden waterfront gem in the central of Playa de Carmen. Walkable to all destinations. Away from the crowded beach spots of Mamitas etc. Everything was perfect. We will be back!

This home is beautiful, clean and spacious. We even had a covered parking spot. Each bedroom having its own private bathroom was wonderful for our large group. There was also another bathroom downstairs for guests. The larger patio was a great spot to hang out with our friends who stayed in another home in this same addition. The hammock was well used by us. The pool and beach are pretty much right out the back door. We even saw eel, stingrays and several kinds of fish snorkeling off the pier. Loved all the gardens. it was very peaceful. Enrique, our concierge, was friendly and helpful. I was expecting one bedroom to have two beds like the photo. However, when we arrived, all bedrooms had King beds and two bedrooms had an added futon as well. Not that big of a deal since my daughters are younger and could share the bed, but having one room with two beds would have been preferred. Also, the grill wasn't really usable, and the cooking pans had seen better days. Would stay again!

Meaghan & Carlos's place have everything you need to feel right at home. The place is spacious, have a great full kitchen, and is private and secluded. We came for a wedding at La Joya, which was minutes from the place. A good recommendation if you come to Playa Paraiso is to rent a car to get around. They were really helpful with info and tips to feel comfortable. Always a quick and helpful response! ... and we even had a maid service!!! Thank you Meaghan & Carlos and the Co-host Estefanía!!!

The House was beautiful & clean. Better than the pictures! Beach area was clean & pool was amazing. The cleaning crew did a great job everyday & were friendly !

We had an incredible stay in Tulum, and couldn't have asked for a better experience! Hollie and Jorge's communication was outstanding from the moment we booked. They were quick to respond and ensured that we had everything we needed. The place was well-equipped with snorkel gear, beach chairs, and even spare sunblock—everything you could possibly need for a perfect beach getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was the meal services from William and Claudia. It was such a treat to arrive and find a delicious dinner waiting for us, and breakfast the next morning was equally amazing. Having that convenience made our trip even more relaxing. Armando and William were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Their hospitality really made us feel at home. Overall, this was one of the best stays we've had, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tulum. We’ll definitely be back!

We could not have been happier with our stay at Rancho San Eric. The Casita was comfortable and located a few steps from the beautiful south Tulum beach. We like peace, quiet and privacy and we got it! No loud "boom boom". Just the sound of the the ocean breeze. We are planning our next visit already :) This is a very special location and the property was extremely well run with an eye for detail. Thank you Stefan and Hui!

The staff here are so kind and helpful. We stayed for a girl’s trip and we felt secure and safe here. The location is also great and convenient. Definitely rent a jet ski from Martina beach club next door! I would stay again.

Can't say enough good things about this place. It was clean, lots of towels, fully stocked kitchen and better views than seen in the pictures. There were restaurants on both sides of the building which made the atmosphere festive during the day (they closed early so it was nice and quiet at night). My daughter couldn't get enough of the snorkeling right off our beach. This was a great family vacation and we can't wait to go back!
