Wonderful beach front property!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was wonderful. Only downfall was the entrance into the beach was not accessible for elders or anyone a disability. That would be our only drawback from staying again. If you are mobile/able, we 100% recommend this house!

Lovely property away from the crowds
Quiet, private, relaxing. Six of us fit comfortably in this beautiful home. We enjoyed kayaking, snorkeling, walking down the beach, and hanging out with the house iguanas that visited every day. Two things missing: a gas grill and an actual full kitchen oven. The countertop “oven” is limited and the charcoal grill never worked. Also a guest half bathroom would be nice downstairs too. We loved having the option for a private chef (also the groundskeeper) to cook for us a couple times! Great family trip!

Wonderful quiet vacation house!
We had a wonderful stay. The property is great! Everything you need is there, and if not, the staff will help you get whatever you need or desire. Management, maintenance and housekeeping staff are wonderful! Had the maintenance man (Jaime) and his wife cook for us two evenings. The food was wonderful! Had a company come in and do massages that were fantastic! Great vacation place!

Great Family Stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our rental was 6 nights. 8 people comfortably were accomodated. The casita was great as it is a separate house that our parents were able to stay in for additional privacy. Pool was perfect size for our 10 and 13 year old. Great snorkeling, nice kitchen and amenities. The only downside is there is not any restaurants in walking distance for older people. The younger people in our group walked to 2 beachside bar/casual dining but really you need to drive for a meal. The house was in a gated community and we felt very safe. We saw beach patrols regularly.

Company trip
We brought a group from our company. The house was comfortable and clean. The couple that came everyday to clean. Did an amazing job. Everyday the house was cleaned immaculately, the exterior was cleaned and organized. Even the sand was groomed everyday. The house manager was a huge help on things to do and places to go. The view from the house was breathtaking. Coffee on the balconies in the morning was perfect. I would stay here a thousand times and it would never get old. Akumal bay is beautiful. Snokeling right outside the house off the beach was the best. Lots of reef life, beatiful fish, and clear water. I cannot say enough about this place. The town of Akumal was cute. Go early in the morning ready for breakfast.

as good as advertised
I highly recommend this property for a relaxing stay. It is as lovely as the photos (if not more). Clean, quiet and safe (guard stand just outside the walls). The cleaning staff were so nice, and accommodating. They cooked for us a couple of times as well which was tasty, inexpensive and much appreciated after a day of travel (arrival day). The property is close to Tulum, the cenotes, the ruins, etc. Just can't say enough nice things about this place. *note- one reviewer prior to our stay suggested water shoes as the water off the beach is rocky. Great suggestion- we followed that and were glad we did.

Unbelievable
Our stay at Casa Chaca was unbelievable. It was a family vacation (six people) and there was plenty of space. We never felt crowded. As mentioned by other posters, you will need a swim shoe, as this is not a "sandy beach". But because it's full of rocks and coral, the water is crystal clear. We spent the days lounging by the water, swimming and kayaking. On our last evening, we had dinner prepared for us and our only regret is that we didn't do it earlier in the vacation. Well worth the money! The staff is so warm and kind. I really cannot say enough about this place. This vacation was one we'll remember for the rest of our lives.

Highlight of our vacation
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: When we got home from our family vacation I asked everyone what their favorite part of the trip was. I expected to hear "Mayan ruins" or "parasailing" or "restaurants" ... but nope. Unanimously, it was: "the house!" What a wonderful stay ... away from the crowds, safe and comfortable, with friendly and helpful staff. So entertaining with amazing fish snorkeling and fun kayaking right out the front door, and the kids splashing in the pool. We loved having a kitchen to make our own breakfasts (leisurely, inexpensive), and we wish we had hired Jaime for more than one dinner (delicious, relaxed) at the house. The wifi made it easy to plan our days, the separate bathrooms made it easy for everyone to be comfortable, the hammocks and various tables/seating made it easy for everyone to find a spot to eat/read/chill. And waking up to the sunrise over the ocean was just ... inspiringly joyful. Casa Chaca was the best part of our trip. :) THANK YOU!!!

Amazing home in Akumal
Casa Chaca is a spectacular home on a quiet strip of of the Akumal Sur bay. The house is clean and welcoming with great big ocean views. The ambient temperature was perfect for us, but if it gets hot the air conditioning works quickly. The kitchen has all the tools you need to cook for yourself. You can pay Jamie to cook a dinner or three for you and you won't be disappointed. We rented a car for our entire stay and it was worth it. We drove almost everyday to go sightseeing or into to town for dinner. You can walk to Akumal bay, but it is a LONG rocky/watery journey. The water outside your door is filled with fish and the coral farther out is still lively and beautiful. We brought our own snorkels and it was great to explore everything. Bring water shoes as the first several feet or so is rocky but too shallow to swim over. If you go prepared to cook a little and drive sometimes, this quiet, palm tree shaded house at the end of the road is a magical place to escape the world.

Fantastic South Akumal house!
My family of 4 (kids 14 and 12) had a spectacular time visiting Casa Chaca in February of 2017. The house is located on the beach at the southern end of the South Akumal area. The bay is terrific for snorkeling and there are 4 1-person kayaks for use. It's not 100% sand, so water shoes make things easier. You can walk along the beach into Akumal, but it takes 30 minutes to do so. It's an easy 5-minute drive to the town, though. The house is terrific with a HUGE master suite, a comfortable second bedroom, and a very large detached "casita" with queen bed. The 14-year old had his own pad! All have AC but we didn't ever use it in Feb. The grounds are tended by Jaime, who is great. He and his wife also cooked dinner for us one night - we'd do at least one more night (2 out of 7) when visiting again. Elena looks after the house and she's also terrific. A truly 5-star experience! XelHa is only 5 miles to the south and worth a day. Lots of other great things to do in the area between Tulum and Playa del Carmen. This was our second trip to Akumal and we can't wait to visit again!

Wonderful location :)
Casa Chaca was incredible. It was in a gated neighborhood and there was beach security right next to the property. We would 100% stay here again. A few things to note for other travelers: 1. We were hesitant about needing daily cleaning. We originally told them not to come every day but changed our mind. Being on the beach, sand gets dragged in and dirties the house really fast. The staff is super friendly and does an amazing job. Keep the cleaning schedule :) 2. Akumal is a small, quiet town. If you plan on doing cooking, stop at a larger grocery store before you get to Akumal. There are a few mini supers, but the selections are small. The house is well stocked with cookware, but not oil/spices/etc. You'll want to get those at the market as well. ** There is an outdoor market in town almost daily. They have a large selection of produce at good prices. 3. Beach - bring water shoes. After you get past the initial rocks it is sandy, clear and gorgeous. But you will need the shoes to get past the breakers. Bring snorkel gear to check out the fish too! We were planning on walking into town a bit from the beach. However, there really isn't public beach access. The only way we found into town from the beach (and back to the beach from town) was past some old abandoned condos. Round trip was around 4 miles. There is a beach bar about half-way to town that you can walk to that has delicious drinks and food. Overall, we loved the small town vibe Akumal had to offer. We felt very safe and being right on the beach was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

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 husband and I have been to Akumal three times and stayed twice at Casa Chaca, and will always stay there each time we visit this magical place. The home is perfect, on the beach with gorgeous sunrise out your back door. We love kayaking in the sparkling bay and snorkling as well, walking to the local beach club, the Jungle Fish for drinks, appetizers and fresh caught fish for dinner. The staff is wonderful and helpful and the locals are so friendly. We love the quiet, yet extremely safe atmosphere this beautiful place has to offer and will be back as soon as we possibly can!
