Spacious 3 bedroom condo with beachfront views, AC, WiFi!

Standing on one of Akumal’s favorite beaches, this Half Moon Bay penthouse is the definition of low-key Caribbean luxury for up to 6 guests. Featuring all the modern commodities of home this vacation rental is a magical getaway with dazzling sites of the Caribbean Sea. Playa Blanca condominiums are one of Akumal’s landmark properties renowned for its central location, spacious layout, and amazing views.

Located on the third floor, guests can gaze upon the beach and turquoise waters from the beachfront terrace, fully equipped kitchen, breakfast bar, dining and living areas. Large sliding glass doors bring plenty of natural light to enter and when opened welcome fresh ocean breezes flow. The large terrace is furnished with table and chairs and comfortable lounging.

Each one of the penthouse’s 3 bedrooms has an ensuite bath.

- The master bedroom has a king size and the second guest room has a queen sized bed.

- The third suite has a king bed, a kitchenette, entertainment center, private access and beautiful street-side view of the jungle.

Half Moon Bay is a great place to watch marine life, including sea turtles, parrot fish and eagle rays, feeding and at play in Half Moon Bay. You can access a number of adventures by foot or bike. A shallow reef lays right in front of you for snorkeling and encountering tropical fish, rays and the famous Akumal sea turtles. A ten-minute walk leads you to Yal-Ku lagoon, a cenote and large lagoon that blends fresh water with the ocean for a beautiful snorkeling experience away from the waves.

KINDLY NOTE: During the summer months, south winds may bring Sargasso Seaweed to some beaches throughout the Caribbean, including the Riviera Maya. Please know that our onsite teams work very hard to ensure the best possible beach conditions for your stay. As a consideration, you may also see special seasonal discounts applied to during the summer months.

Great Location
Great 3rd floor condo right on the water. There is two bedrooms inside and a separate stand alone room right outside the front door. This room has its own bathroom, a.c... mircrowave, 5 gallons of bottled water etc... The condo has amazing views and right in the dead middle of the bay. This section of Akumal hasnt really changed in the last 40 years. Its a sleepy little area with an amazing cenote feedig water in the lagoon as it meets the bay. Which makes for awesome snorkeling. There are seveal small restaurants in this area that are walking distance. But we rented a golf cart for $45 usd for a day. The area is safe and super laid back. So if you are looking for clubs, etc... this is not the place for you. But if you are looing for super nice people. good restaurants, snorkeling in the bay or lagoon, and with some very nice accomdations then this is your getaway. Note... the kitchen is very well appointed. Lots of snorkel gear from past guests. Beds were comfy and daily maid service. We chose to go during May and sargasm was rolling in heavy into the bay. Which we knew and did not care. The north and south side of the bay did not have sargasm nor did the cenote/lagoon area. Bring water shoes to walk out a 100 plus yards into the bay as its shallow but rocky. Oh and the management company that manages this condo is honest and informative. Last thing is that its 3rd floor up several flights of stairs and no elevator. So you have to carry your luggage and be fit enough.

Windy February
The property was excellent. There was a problem with the wind and the noise on our 3rd floor room facing the ocean. The wind howled 24/7. We were told that in February the winds can be particularly strong

Beautiful condo in paradise!
This apartment is just perfect. It is sparkling clean and the cleaning staff come in each day to keep it that way. The view from the apartment's balcony is fabulous and the beach is right outside, which is perfect. The apartment's kitchen is very well equipped and there are many towels for home and beach use. The management is extremely helpful and responsive. The condo is beautifully decorated for a beachfront apartment and comfortable for hanging out inside and on the large balcony. The restaurant/bar down the road is super convenient and they are very nice there. The three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, make it a fantastic place for family (my husband and I had our two adult children and their partners with us). The kids are the ones who named this place (location and apartment) paradise! If you want to relax on the beach with family/friends and enjoy a special peaceful spot, this is the place for you.

Just incredibly beautiful!
What a way to relax!! We stayed with our two adult children, their spouses and a one year old toddler. This place was sooooo perfect! It's a gorgeous "penthouse" right on the ocean! The view from the spacious balcony is mesmerizing. Walk straight out from the condo for some incredible and easy snorkling (we saw stingrays, all the beautiful fish on the reef ... and a turtle!) The owner was very helpful in all respects and arranged everything for us. She answered all our questions very quickly. We had plenty of water delivered daily, maid service was excellent, plenty of towels, sheets, blankets, even snorkling gear and shoes for the water! (Definitely need swim shoes in the water, which was warm and clear with lots of coral pieces underfoot.) If you want to be surrounded by peace, beauty, no crowds, and kind local business folks, definitely stay here. Very comfortable place - tons of DVDs, books, games. Thank you so very much, Cheryl, for sharing your home with us! Love, The Swain-Kunz Family We ate EVERY meal out and walked to each restaurant. DELICIOUS, great service! Only small complaints: the separate suite for the kids with the baby was a little warm and the kids complained that their mattresses were too hard ...

Super Place; Great Value
This place was amazing and a great value. Two couples and three kids spent a terrific four nights here. The location in Akumal and Half Moon Bay was outstanding. Listening to the waves on the balcony was most relaxing. There were at least two good restaurants within easy walking distance. The owner was cooperative and helpful and my only concern while we were there was that she has such nice furniture (a great dining table) and art that I was concerned that the kids might break some valuable art pieces that were within their easy reach. Fortunately that did not happen. We truly enjoyed this beautiful place and hope to be back real soon.

Perfect on every level
This unit could not have impressed us more. While we've visited Akumal several times we've never stayed. This place had all we were looking for and more. It accommodated our group perfectly (my husband and I, 2 kids 9 + 11, and my brother who used the little bachelor suite). Clean and airy with a view we'll be missing until we visit again! Akumal is always such a nice, quiet destination, and we mixed things up with a couple days trips to Tulum. The gentleman at the desk was so helpful in helping us rent a car each time, only $70 us per day. We enjoyed endless beach days, ate incredible food both at home and out, and spent a full day at Yal Ku Laguna which is always my favourite! Thank you so much to our hosts for sharing this gem, we will recommend highly to friends.

Relax, refresh, renew
Beautiful ocean view. Watch the sunrise over the water from your bedroom with shutters that open to reveal the splendor. Plenty of amenities for the condo and the ocean I.e. snorkel gear, etc. Private chef Daveed, a must try. Daily maid service was great. Location perfect to experience all that Akumal offers-beaches, lagoon, restaurants, etc.

Great place!
Enjoyed staying here. Daily cleaning was great. Overall cleanliness was fine. On a quiet road. Felt very safe. Shower was terrible especially in the evening no pressure at all. Really a trickle. Beach is very rocky. Half moon bay had good snorkeling. Not enough beach to throw a ball around. Need water shoes to walk in the water due to rocks and coral. Overall a nice stay.

What's not to Love?
We stayed here for five wonderful days and loved every minute. The location is perfect, the accommodation is extremely attractive and comfortable, and the view is to die for. The kitchen has everything you need too. An added bonus is the daily housekeeping service. We were spoiled! We enjoyed being able to walk to several excellent restaurants, even after dark. As other reviewers have mentioned, the beach right out front is beautiful but a little rocky getting into the water. Just wear water shoes and you'll be fine getting in and having a nice swim. Want to go to a PERFECT beach? A 15 minute walk takes you to idyllic Akumal Bay. A couple of things to be aware of: you'll walk up a considerable number of stairs to get to this perfect third floor condo, so be prepared. Also, there's no pool on site. That's also remedied by walking 3 minutes to La Buena Vida, a wonderful hangout for food and drinks. They have a refreshing pool on site for patrons of the restaurant and bar. Need to have laundry done? There's no washer/dryer in the condo nor in the complex, but if you take it to the management office at La Bahia (who manage this condo), they'll have it done the same day at a very reasonable cost. What more could you ask for? We would stay at this beautiful place again in a heartbeat!

Fantastic condo in the perfect location!
Akumal holds a very special place in mine and my husbands heart, and this holiday with our kids and my parents didn't disappoint. The condo was perfect! Beautiful location, wonderfully decorated and fully stocked. The views and ocean breezes breathtaking. I even got to experience a turtle laying her eggs at night and one baby turtle making his journey out to sea. Thank you Cheryl everything was perfect!!

Perfect!
We had 8 in our party and stayed for 9 days. We had 5 adults and 3 children under 9. Cheryl's place is just as the pictures portrayed. It is perfectly located so we could access all of Akumal. We rented a car to see the sites that were a little distance away and also bikes for a week for local beaches and restaurants. Snorkeling was fun on Half Moon and we were able to see lots of turtles in Akumal Bay. A beautiful area and Cheryl's place allows you to enjoy it all in comfort! Loved it!

Simply fantastic!
We just returned from a week's stay at Half Moon Bay and can't wait to return. The condo is very comfortable and well equipped with everything you will need for the week - dvds, books, games, snorkel gear, beach towels, etc. We stopped at the store for shampoo and such - but there was plenty already in the unit. The grounds keeper and housekeeping staff were friendly and did a wonderful job! It was a wonderfully comfortable unit, well appointed, well maintained and close to everything. We rented a car to drive from Cancun to Akumal but once we arrived it was parked and we walked everywhere - out to dinner, to town and to Yal Ku lagoon. We did drive to Tulum one day but otherwise it was on foot. If we had not rented a car, I might has rented bikes for the week - however it was easy to just walk. Note - if you are going to Tulum or Yal Ku - go early. It really does get quite busy as tour buses start to arrive. We had planned on cooking in the unit for a few nights (the grill was a nice bonus) but it was so easy to get to the restaurants, we opted to go out every night. Across the street from the unit is a small convenience store - we purchased sugar, margarita mix and first aid cream. Very convenient not to have to drive to a store. The beach access is very rocky - if you are looking for a swimming beach, Half Moon Bay is not a good choice. And the winds were howling for a few days which made snorkeling pretty tough - on those days we just hung out on the loungers. But once the wind died down, the snorkeling was pretty good, especially on the north end of the bay. The owner sent a nice package of information - on where to eat, how to get to the unit, things to do and see, travel tips, etc... We followed the directions and had no problem with the drive or finding the unit. We also referenced her information throughout the stay so it was very helpful. All in all, we were extremely happy with our stay at PB#8 and look forward to returning sometime in the near future!!

Great property in a nice location.
Playa Blanca #8 is located in the center of Half Moon Bay, which makes it an easy walk to Akumal Playa restaurants and shops. There are also a couple of nice restaurants only 5 minutes away. Snorkeling in the bay is great or you can walk to Yal Ku for a more protected, but commercialized snorkeling experience. If you are a scuba diver, Akumal Dive Shop is very professional and reasonably priced. Tulum, Xel Ha and several Cenotes are less than a half hour drive. Local transportation is readily available if you don't have a rental car. Many people rent bikes for their stay and use the local cabs and vans for the more distant trips. This condo is well equipped with everything you need for your stay. They even provide beach towels, and daily maid service is included in the rental fee. The owner will send you a lot of information about the condo and the area once you have made your reservation. It is good for families of all ages. We were a family of five adults and were very comfortable. We rented the two bedroom main unit and the studio lock off.

A fantastic stay in a welcoming set-up
The place is amazing! Directly overlooking the white beach. We were in condo #8, on 3rd floor. Well decorated with local art on a white background, we felt comfortable immediately . Couldn't ask for better. Sunrise on the ocean right in front. Beach chairs awaiting us, beach cleaned every morning. Very quiet with only few local tourists walking on Half Moon Bay. Access to terrace above for sunset and stars watching. Safe and friendly environment. Lots of snorkeling equipment available in the condo. Lots of fish small and big Parrot fishes too, few turtles. Best spots for viewing are around the reefs in front of La Buena Vida. The latter friendly and warm beach restaurant (excellent Mexican food 5 stars) and night life , back to the condo 5 minutes walk on the beach at night. Paradise! The condo very clean ( thanks to Conchi) and well furnished with taste. Full kitchen well equipped. Only inconvenient, the fridge was too cold and froze even at lowest setting. The master ¸bedroom and bathroom have amazing views on ocean through the living room (closing the "volets" can also procure intimacy). Purified water available everyday free. No need to start the air conditioning in January as the sea breeze was just perfect day and night. We were 8 adults and a baby. We also rented the small additional apartment in the back (the third bedroom for 2 adults with private entry). A baby crib was available and the owner had the nice idea to have a strong plastic netting put all around the balcony for safety. A big THANK YOU to the owner Cheryl! We had a memorable stay at your place. One of our best holidays ever! The owner was easy to get in touch and prompt response by email. She gave us very good tips and local addressees. Tulum (30 minutes), Coba (1 hour) and Chichen itza (2.5 hours) revealed great Mayan periods. Cenotes are great and special experiences for swimming and snorkeling. In conclusion, a great 2 weeks with our family in the best Mexican setting. Hope we can redo this in the future. Robert, Céline & family
