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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

A Thanksgiving to remember
This was probably the best handled property we have stayed at. From Brittany being so kind and helpful over VRBO and then Mercedes and Pancho at the Villa we never wanted for anything. My family (2 children 7,12) and our best friends family with their children (9,12) had an idyllic time. The house was set up perfectly for two families traveling with kids. All the pictures are exactly what it is but what you don't see is the beautiful on shore winds that cool you off everyday so it's not so hot and blow the bugs right away. Although, it's always wise to bring something just in case, we didn't have any issues though. Also, I don't want to spoil it but these Pelicans are incredible that swoop down right in front of you to catch your dinner, it's something out of a nature show. And the snorkeling right outside the house, so easy. Truly an amazing house set in a quiet cove and managed by a great team. Thank you all.

The most perfect place for us!
Our first time to this fabulous home and we can't wait to go back. I did a ton of research on homes in the area, considered hotels and other properties and Playa Del Caribe was everything we wanted. Beautiful beachfront, incredible location in a very private, gated, small neighborhood about 15-20 minutes from the beach zone in Tulum and only an hour from Cancun airport. Easy access to cenotes, restaurants in Akumal and Tulum. We did a wonderful trip to the Sian Kaan with tour guide Mario from www.bushmanphoto.com, visited Gran Cenote and casa Cenote and hit the best beach clubs (Rosa Del Viento, Ziggy's...). Pancho and Mercedes took excellent care of us. The home was really perfect in so many ways. Spent hours kayaking and SUPing right from the beach. Beautiful sunrises, perfect evenings, magical place. Bring water shoes if swimming from the beach but only a few yards out is the most beautiful emerald water and some great corral for snorkeling. Really the best house in that neighborhood and anywhere else. If you want privacy, but also easy access to all the activities and sites in Tulum, this is the place for you. Much better than a busy hotel in town. Can't wait to return.

Perfect!
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect vacation...away from crowds, but with all the luxuries of a resort. Pancho and Mercedes took care of every need. We prefer rental houses over resorts and hotels on our vacations, and we usually accept that this comes with fewer amenities....but not at Casa Playa del Caribe! Beds and linens were made/changed daily. Sand was swept on the pool deck and in the house. Mercedes cooked dinner for us when we weren’t in the mood to cook. When we were in the mood to cook, we enjoyed the well stocked kitchen. The house was stocked as well. There were kayaks, paddle boards, snorkel gear, etc. The beach was very private and the snorkeling right in front of the house was wonderful. We saw sting rays and all sorts of fish. There was some seaweed, but it was raked daily, and didn’t affect our trip at all. My kids actually enjoyed making castles out of seaweed that was there. Thanks again for a wonderful experience!

Difficult to leave!
We were a party of 4 adults and 4 kids ages 7-16 and we stayed at Casa Playa del Caribe for a week in Feb of 2020. It was a wonderful experience! The house is in great shape - even nicer than the photos suggest. There is plenty or room for everyone to spread-out and the AC works great in all 4 bedrooms. Ceiling fans and the sea breeze keep things cool everywhere else. The kitchen is well stocked. I've stayed at more than 20 rental vacation homes in the past 10 years and this is the FIRST one with sharp knives! The caretakers (Pancho and Mercedes) are terrific and keep the house and grounds in great shape. Mercedes is also a great cook. The pool is wonderful to have, although the bay is the main attraction. The town of Akumal is only a 15-20 min walk north on the beach, but I probably wouldn't want to do it at night because the footing can get tricky in a couple of parts. Overall it was an outstanding vacation and we would enthusiastically recommend this house and the Akumal location to people looking for a relatively quiet ocean-centric getaway.
