Please note: sometimes the ocean brings sargasso (sargassum seaweed) up on the beach. It is not predictable and is a part of nature. We do our best to clean it up each day so our guests can enjoy a sandy beach. However, this is not always possible, even with the help of our HOA and Pancho (our caretaker) working tirelessly. We apologize in advance if the ocean brings the sargasso during your stay.

Amazing House, Location, and Caretakers

Just got back from our week long stay at this house and there is nothing bad to say, its all amazing. Everything is as described, the house is on one of the better sections of beach with good snorkeling out front. Plenty of shade or sun, whichever you prefer. Pancho and Mercedes kept the place spotless and Mercedes food was fantastic. The pool was also a great configuration for our non swimmer 3 year old. About half of it is 2ft deep with a drop off to a 6ft deep end vs starting off shallow and slowly getting deeper. We put the pool vacuum hose across the pool to show our (fully supervised) little one where the drop off was.The collectivo's were easy to access from the house with an easy 400yd walk to the highway. A short inexpensive ride then leaves you another 400yds from where the action is in Akumal.

Family Fun in the Sun 2024

There's so much to love about this property. The location was perfect: the beach; the proximity to shopping, restaurants & attractions (best to rent a car); the security & privacy! The house had everything & more than we needed: a pool, lots of water toys for both the ocean & the pool, a well-supplied kitchen, fresh drinking water, 4 spacious bedrooms with ensuites, & so many spaces to gather & play. We knew the property included service from grounds' staff & caretakers as well as security; however, we weren't prepared for such excellent care, especially from Pancho and Mercedes (an amazing cook, by the way)...such a bonus! Brittany, the property manager, was responsive and generous. You all have spoiled for us anything less. Many thanks for facilitating our once-in-a-lifetime experience!

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.

Quiet and private family getaway

We loved our days at Casa Playa del Caribe! The house is as beautiful and clean as the listing photos. Always felt safe and private. Pancho and Mercedes did a great job in hosting and keeping the house clean for us every day. Everyone had an awesome vacation, from the little ones to the teenagers, parents, and grandparents!

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!!!! Highly recommend this home!

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!

Accurate description of Paradise

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.

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!

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.

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.

Surprisingly Stunning

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.

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.

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!

As good as it gets

We could not have enjoyed our stay more. The beach is beautiful and swimable with amazing snorkeling. The rooms are spacious. An hour from the airport, 30 min from Tulum, 5 min from Akumal. The hosts are the best I’ve ever had. Brittany was incredibly informative and helpful leading up to the trip. Pancho and Mercedes were amazing and their dinners were authentic and delicious. We had some sargassum but Pancho and other crews had it off the beach before most of our group woke up. One piece of advice for future renters: go ahead and advise Brittany that you want Mercedes to cook the first night. This will make your arrival much smoother. Also, the advice about renting a car is good. Thanks thanks thanks to our hosts. Amazing trip.

Amazing house, amazing caretakers, amazing beach!

Our group of 9 stayed in Playa Casa del Caribe Feb 3-10, 2024. The house was perfect! We’ve never stayed in a house where the caretakers cleaned every day and kept the house stocked with purified water and toiletries. They thought of everything! Pancho and Mercedes were amazing! Pancho keeps the grounds manicured to perfection and Mercedes keeps the house clean. She also made the best food we ate while there! Delicious!!! The house is located in the perfect spot in Akumal. We walked the beach in both directions and quickly realized this is the best house, yard/beach and the best location in the Riviera Maya! We had a great time snorkeling right out the back door (bring water shoes - there is rock and coral from the shore), watching the pelicans dive for fish, and watching the iguanas and hermit crabs. We even had 2 raccoon visitors one night and saw a couple coati run across the neighborhood. It was amazing! The house itself has plenty of space for everyone. We loved the beach chairs under a palm tree and also sunning ourselves on the roof! Kids loved the pool (although it was too cold for us adults). This house made our vacation to Mexico. 10/10 stars!
