About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Serene and cozy beachfront villa on a white sandy beach, pool, AC and WiFi!

As you enter the property from the private gated garden area to the rear, you are greeted with a open floor plan living, dining, and kitchen looking straight out to the beach and ocean via an entire wall of full length sliding glass doors. This room allows fantastic views of the Caribbean sea. The living room is comfortably furnished and features a large flat screen TV with Satellite and DVD, plus stereo. There is dining space for 8 people with ocean views and a nice fully equipped kitchen with granite counter tops.

Also on the ground floor, there is a guest bedroom furnished with 2 single beds and adjoining guest bathroom. There are sliding doors leading straight out from this bedroom onto the private terrace and beach beyond.

Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms with king sized beds, plenty of closet space, nicely finished en suite bathrooms (ocean views from the shower!), and front and back terraces to give you both ocean and jungle views. There are sliding doors leading out to the ocean side terrace where you can relax on the cushioned seating and enjoy the view. This is also a lovely place to relax and watch the millions of stars in the Caribbean night sky.

In front of the villa is a shaded terrace, and a large private area of beach leading down towards the water. There are plenty of sun loungers, a shade palapa with sunken seating, and also a large outdoor dining table with seating for 8. Great for alfresco meals and beachfront cookouts!

To the rear of the villa, Serenity has ample off-street parking, and also a swimming pool.

Villa Serenity is also conveniently located within a short walk from the Grand Oasis all-inclusive resort and the Grand Bahia Principe resort where you can purchase day passes to use the resort facilities and entertainment. Bahia Principe Resort also has a shopping complex called Hacienda Dona Isabela which has gift shops, a bar, and an ATM machine. Villa Serenity is also a short walk from the new Riviera Maya Golf Course. Riviera Maya Golf Club is one of the most exciting golf courses here in the Riviera Maya. Spanning 223 acres and set within 717 acres of tropical rainforest, this course was designed by Robert Trent Jones II.

If you are looking for a beachfront vacation that is easy, comfortable, and relaxing then this is the perfect house for you! Villa Serenity is a wonderful choice for both families and friends.

Fantastic house and location
We’ve stayed in multiple homes in this small stretch of Akumal and this property is one of the best! Great experience in every way, from check in to daily interaction with the housekeeper, security, the beach, etc. We loved our time here and 100% recommend the property to anyone seeking to escape to a quiet little piece of paradise.

Awesome place
This property was the perfect setup and location for our family of five. The kids loved the pool, the attractions near by were fun, the ocean gorgeous, location was safe and hosts were great. We definitely fell in love with the place and can’t wait to return.

Wonderful week on the beach
Villa serenity for our family of 6 perfectly. Private beach with life jackets, sand toys, and kayaks. Rita was so helpful in housekeeping and made us a delicious meal. Alejandro was available via text to answer questions and was a great resource for answering questions and booking excursions. Wonderful place by the ocean, yet away from the big resort feel.

Lovely beachfront property
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: The house is in a quiet part of the small community. Open the back doors and you step right on the beach. You can snorkel directly out to a mini reef and easily see some tropical fish, including angel fish, damsels, and flounders. We came during low season so some of the bedrooms smelled a little stale when we first arrived (likely from the house being shut up) but keeping the doors open solved that problem. It wasn’t spotless but it’s a beach front property so that’s hard to do. The kitchen is decently set up. Water pressure is great. The house comes with filtered drinking water, which was nice to find. The hosts out back were wonderful, super helpful. There is a restaurant a few houses down on the beach we could walk to for some meals and take out that worked out well for us. Just a note, the back patio is quite slippery when you first step out of the outdoor shower. The older people in our group struggled with this.

Amazing property and location!
LOVED our stay over the New Year at Villa Serenity. Gorgeous house, beach and the perfect amount of privacy. We walked to the bikini beach bar just a couple houses down almost daily. Great food and margs! Loved this house, the view and the water and highly recommend!

Beautiful relaxing property!!
We had amazing stay at the Villa Serenity. The owners have been very attentive to details. We loved having the housekeeping. It allowed us to really relax and enjoy. We felt very safe with the security that was provided. The gardener kept the grounds and beach beautiful. We loved the private pool... We used it much more than I thought we would. We hope to return again!!

Amazing!!!
Great house in a great location. Super private gated home with private security, daily cleaning, and on site maintenance. The house was big and spacious with amazing views of the private beach that leads you to the ocean. There is a pool onsite that was just for our use as well which made it that much more special. The house was fully stocked with everything you’d need. The location is about 20 to 30 minutes away from DT Playa del Carmen, or Tulum. If you’re looking for a lot to do I’d stay somewhere else, but if your looking to relax…this is the perfect place!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fabulous time at Villa serenity everything that we could possibly need or want was there for us, including a security guard, Rita who took care of us daily, and even someone to clear the sand and take care of the outside. Ramon shared with us the hatching Tortugas each night! It was a fabulous trip and we will definitely do it. Again thank you to the owners for providing this opportunity for our family!

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: Fantastic vacation rental and well worth it. Nothing beats being able to step right outside the back porch right onto a groomed and clean beach front. Overall accommodations were great, Rita was consistent with cleaning and doing laundry (she even did the dishes)! Ramon, the night security guard sometimes scared us walking up to the house at night via the beach, but it was great knowing we were being looked out for. Ely was there to greet us when we arrived and made himself available for any needs, which we wound up not needing him considering the great care property amenities. The A/C was spot on and made a huge difference! Definitely recommend this place and the bikini bar just a few houses down the beach was very convenient.

Relaxing and Great Spot!!
Home was beautiful! The location and beach access was amazing along with the people that the management company has come by the house daily were kind, helpful, and amazing! There's a bar down the beach that serves drinks and food which had a great bartender (Alex). Nightly, sea turtles would come up on the beach to leave their eggs! Amazing experience!! The only downside had nothing to do with the house, location, management company, or beach access. The only downside was mother nature which delivered very large amounts of seaweed.

February 2020 Stay in Akumal
The house was fully equiped, very nicely upgraded and literally 100 steps from the back veranda to the ocean! The house/grounds/security staff were absolutely wonderful & a real luxury :) We loved the location - there's a big supermarket 15 minutes away by car and everything was easily accessible from the highway. Although Akumal was a little bit of a hike from the Cancun airport - once you're there, getting to Tulum or many of the cenotes were within a 1/2 hour drive. Our only complaint was that the living room couches weren't very comfortable - this is a very minor complaint since we spent most of our time either sleeping or outdoors & the beds and lounge chairs were exceptional!

And best of all the AC- in all bedrooms and main area. Very nice caretaker Ellie and housekeeper Rita. There a few floats, fins and life jackets also. Bring your own snorkel and mask.It is just steps to the beach. We didn’t use the pool in the back but it looked clean.We used the purified water provided and were fine. I highly recommend getting groceries delivered from riviera Maya as the nearest store is 20 minutes away.

Wonderful Beach House
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: We had a great time at this spot. Best stretch of beach and a quiet neighborhood. The pool was very nice and warm - kitchen was well stocked and beds were very comfortable. The staff did a wonderful job of keeping the house clean and helped with anything we needed. Great area to stay in - close to all the local attractions while being away from the craziness of the larger towns in the area. Our favorite day trips were Cenote Azul, Yal-ku Lagoon - just make sure you go the old entrance. We also had a great dinner at La Buena Vida and a good lunch at Lol-Ha Restaurant. We did do a day trip to the ruins in Tulum - the ruins were interesting and in a beautiful spot but be aware of the amount of haggling you will need to do to park and get tickets. Also if you want to do a day trip to Tulum to see the beach etc. we found that you need pay lots of $$$ to get a spot at one of the beach clubs to even see the water. The little bar/retaurant two doors down from the house - Bikini Bar is a great little spots for drinks. We would definite recommend this house and would stay here again.

Family getaway
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house is beautiful and well maintained. Rita came every day and cleaned and made sure everything was in its place. The house always smelled so good when we would come back after enjoying our vacay out and about. She even cooked two meals for us that were very good! Eddie the grounds keeper was very attentive and so pleasant. He would help us out when we needed transportation to town. He does a nice job keeping the grounds maintained and raked the sand in front it the house every day. We were greatful that we stayed here and enjoyed walking the beach. The Beached Bikini was an added bonus a few doors down which is a fun bar and grill with great cocktails. We spent a day at the all inclusive resort Bahia Principe and a sunset cruise in Akumal. Thank you to our concierge David for being so attentive to our questions and helping us make decisions for the activities we wanted to take part of. All in all I give this place a 10/10 and we will be back! The sargasso seaweed was a drag but we didn’t let it wreck our trip! The pool is also a plus when we got hot and didn’t want to jump in the ocean. The neighbors next door were so kind and sweet.
