Spring break in beautiful Akumal!
From start to finish the stay at Villa de la playa was great. Communication with the host was quick and Emilio was always there if we needed anything. We had a group of 11 and had plenty of space. The pool was refreshing on the hot humid days and even though it is a rocky area in front of the house, the ocean was amazing. A great area for snorkeling. There are iguanas that live in the rocks next to the pool and they come out to visit while you are sitting outside, definitely fun for the kids. The restaurant La Buena Vida is two doors down and that was our go to spot. Fun atmosphere, good food and even better service! We rented bikes from Del Sol resort and let the teenagers ride back and forth to both beaches with no worries. All in all we had a wonderful time and would definitely stay there again!

Beautiful traditional Mexican Home with an amazing view.
We checked out of a VRBO in Playa Del Carmen and had no place to go between with our luggage so grounds keepers were happy to let us set our luggage inside while they finished up. The only reason I did not give the amenities 5 stars is bc it says there is a washer and dryer and there is not. We had already been in the area a week and were counting on washing and re-wearing and were not able to. The house is a gem. The view is unreal with great sunrises. The beach is rocky so it makes for good snorkeling right out your back door but not a beach you can get up and go walk on. There is no grocery store besides convenience stores close so I recommend getting groceries in Puerta Aventureas on your way. You can get most places by foot but the town is quite a jump. We got motor taxis to get over there. The grounds keeper Emilio is very kind and helpful. It took us at least an hour and a half to get to the Cancun airport the morning of our departure so account for that. We would stay here again but would most likely try to get a car next time. We were a large group and the transports to go do things really added up. The restaurant two doors down is good and reasonable. Akumal beach is sort of crowded, but full of life. We saw turtles, sting ray and fish, crabs, iguanas, and starfish. The home is older, but has great character. The area is very safe. You are within driving distance to Tulum. The big plus is so many bathrooms! Great for a large group.

Wonderful Location
Wonderful location within walking distance to everything you need. The home accommodated our group eight with ease. Each couple had their own private bathroom which is a huge plus!! Waking up to the most beautiful sunrises every morning was an extra bonus. Would happily recommend!! Will definitely stay here again!!

Disrepair and not accurate
First, the casita was a mess and not really useable. We rented this location due to the room situation and to use a “storeroom “ as a bedroom was unacceptable. No washer and dryer to use, refrigerator barely works, plugs are hit and miss. So called “ private beach “ is a narrow section above the rocks. Not a beach. Very disappointed. It’s for sale so owner isn’t fixing things nor updating anything. Highly recommend bypassing.

Beautiful House & Safe Area
What a great place! We had an amazing time here. It’s right on the water and the view is fantastic. The house can accommodate a large group and has all the amenities you need. It’s about a minute walk to La Buena Vida, a really cool bar/restaurant on the beach. It’s also a secure area since the road leading in is controlled by a security gate with a guard. Highly recommended!

Best family vacation yet!
My husband and I took our 18 year old triplets on their senior vacation. We could not have asked for a better trip! There were enough activities that the kids weren’t bored, but enough down time for all to relax. The Akumal Dive Shop was amazing and having La Buena Vida right next door meant that I didn’t have to spend my vacation cooking and fixing meals. The house was spacious - with everyone having their own room - and the location was perfect. We rented a car to get to and from the airport, but otherwise rarely used it. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing and easy get away!

Ten day dive vacation four adult couples
Location, location, location. Don't hesitate to rent this house. Ignore the winers in other reviews. Sure the house is a bit dated - cute Mexican tile counters instead of granite counter tops etc. This is Mexico! What a wonder home with fantastic views. The proximity to the reasonably priced restaurant three doors down made cooking dinners unnecessary. We had dinner there every night! Happy hour with 1/2 price drinks on top of that. Would not hesitate to stay again. Don, the host, was a great communicator and would check in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. Again ignore the negative reviews. Those guests should have stayed at a luxury hotel. Again views and location can't be beat. Very quiet neighborhood. All couples raved about the home. Thanks Don for a wonderful vacation enjoyed by all!
