Great little easy beach stay

It’s a studio room that easily sleeps 4. There’s not much “hangout” space—no patio or balcony, but the location is amazing and the beach proximity was great. Wish the window that looked out in the ocean had been cleaned. It was so dirty we could really see out if it. Basically, this is a no frills place but served us well and the service by the management company was great.

An Excellent Getaway!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I were visiting Playa Blanca to celebrate a friends birthday. Our friends were staying in a complex next door, so this property was a perfect location for us. Besides being close to our group of friends, the condo met all of our needs for a relaxing place retreat too. At night, the area was quiet and the bed provided a comfortable night of sleep. During the day, there was a small grocery store nearby and two restaurants within a short walk. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Playa Blanca Condo.

Another 10/10 stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second stay at this beautiful studio suite. We will return again and again as the unit is super quiet, has a lovely view of the ocean, has a fabulous housekeeper, the bed is super comfortable, and Akumal Direct is very accommodating to ensure we are taken care of.We rent bicycles to ride down the road to town for dinner, and also a great happy hour down the street. The snorkeling off the beach is incredible. The area is so quiet with condos so there is no loud music to disturb your sleep. This is not a nightlife location, snorkeling during the day, and a dinner out is what a vacation here entails :)

Wonderfull holiday

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very good. It lived up to our expectations and staff was super helpful. Perfect for a family with a small child and a baby. Cleaning was good - we had it every other day and if we would have had it every day it would have been even better. But in all our warmest recommendations.

Not what you'd image in a beach front vrbo

This area and main building are nice, and right on the beach, but this unit is on the second floor of a small separate building out front with no outdoor sitting space at all. You can easily walk over to the beach in front of the main building, but it feels like you are intruding on the outdoor space right in front of the main building units patio doors more than a common space for the complex. The king bed was so hard that after the first night my wife ended up sleeping in a separate small pullout bed at the other end of the room. Overall this room was more like a kitchenette motel room than a VRBO and a disappointment. Also note that this place does not have a pool. That's easy to miss when booking online as many similar units in the area do have pools.

Great clean beautiful condo, our host was more than helpful with all that we needed and great on communication. Only downside is the seaweed on the beach which is the case for alot of Akumal Playa beaches from what I saw and was told about.

Dream condo and location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I loved the studio condo on the water. I only had to walk several steps to get to the beach and palapa area. The unit, as well as the beach were well maintained. I snorkeled daily, right from the condo. Half Moon Bay is faily shallow, so I could go out quite far. Although, I did not see any turtles in this area, I did see stingrays, beautiful fish and coral. The location is pefect. I could walk to all places in Akumal, including Akumal Pueblo. The restaurants were fabulous and not pricy. Finally, I felt competely safe at all times. I definitely would come back.

Great budget accomodation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay in this rental unit. The unit is clean and cute and budget friendly. The unit was well supplied and management was very quick to respond to any requests. They were extremely helpful with navigating the area, excursions and even a medical issue. For us, the only limitation was lack of outdoor space as there is no terrace, but this is reflected in the price which is very good for the area and the beach is supplied with tables and loungers which are only steps away from the unit.

Loved this/these rentals!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Totally awesome. We rented two properties with different management and were so pleased that both managers checked in with us many times. They solved problems (malfunctioning air conditioner, keys locked in the condo late at night) and gave great recommendations for activities and private tours. Thank you Adrian and Scott! I just looked to see if when these properties are available next year.

Relaxing week in Cozy Condo

The studio condo was perfect for my week on the beach. Just steps away from the water, and a nice view from the window. Renting a bike made it easy to get into town and around Akumal. David was great, answering all my questions and set up an in room massage and covid test for me. I hope to be able to book again next year!
