Waterfront vacation rentals in Tulum Municipality

We cannot say enough positive things about Rancho San Eric, Hui & Stefan, and their staff! The space was more beautiful than described or what can be shown in photos. The studio was also spacious and very private. The property is very quiet, but close to restaurants, bars, etc. With a 1yr old it met all of our needs as far as relaxed family time, and also getting out and enjoying great meals, drinks and activities. Hui & Stefan accommodated multiple special requests, and were just so warm and sincere in making our stay special. The studio was incredibly clean and well appointed, steps from the beach! Literal steps, with chairs and shade for the studio guests only. We loved it, and will be grateful to go back!

I've been staying at Airbnbs for ten years and Ma.Cristina is hands down the best host I've ever had! I reached out to her for help, suggestions, guidance every day of our trip. She responded quickly and politely provided us with all the support we needed. Tulum is fantastic, but it can be expensive and confusing. With M.Cristina, we were able to save money and easily navigate uncertainty. The apartment was so nice and exactly as it is described. It was a short walk to the Jaguar Park entrance and the beach club, "Our Habitas". We LOVED this beach club and went there twice! Ma.Cristina contacted the club and we were welcomed by the staff there where we enjoyed a stunning beach, pool, access to palapas, a live DJ (on Sunday), and delicious food and drinks. Including free entry to this club is an incredible perk offered by Ma.Cristina. She also helped us book a scooter and taxi service. I could write so much more! We can't thank Ma.Cristina enough for an amazing vacation!

Beautiful apartment, gorgeous windows and a floor overlooking the trees. There is everything you need.

We really enjoyed our stay at Marianna’s air bnb! It’s in a great location. Walking distance to downtown and a lot of amazing restaurants are very close by. About a 20 minute bike ride to the beach. There are lots of places to rent bicycles. The room is exactly what it looks like in the pictures. Some previous reviews said that there is a restaurant in the air bnb building, and that they serve drinks/snacks by the pool, but that’s not the case. Lots close by though! And you’re allowed to bring your own drinks to the pool. There is a very well equipped superstore across the street where you can get everything that you need. The pools are very beautiful, but need a little maintenance. The tiny tiles are coming off and leave a lot of sediment. The gym is very tiny and does not have a lot to work with. The staff are very friendly and helpful! Overall we had a really nice stay!

This was a great spot to spend the night in Tulum. It wasn’t right in the heart of things (more in the area currently being built up), but still a pretty easy walk for us to some really good restaurants. Liz was very communicative and helped me to navigate how to get there and gave advice on things to do the next day and how to get to those things which was much appreciated. For us it was the perfect spot to spend a relaxing night in Tulum.

Loved it! Spacious, gorgeous. Highly recommend.

There is a tenant who in my stay if I can take away the peace I was looking for, I think they should review what can be done with this person.

The place was really well equipped, everything you need for a good stay: KITCHEN: -Good equipped (practically what you need to cook anything) - Clean (no dirt) -With the necessary tools to be able to clean in case of spilling or wrapping something. BATHROOM -With the whole basic cleaning kit, you don't need to bring anything but your bath sponge, and special creams if used. - Clean, spacious and beautiful. ROOM - Wide, comfortable and clean bed. -The climate is functional and the whole room is cool. Oswaldo is very friendly and is approaching to solve anything he asks for. I would return, although to move from the place if or if you must go with a car, I rent a car with Hertz and have a very comfortable time. My date of visit was January 2025.

The host is always very responsive, villa is nice with 3 rooms with own bathroom, so perfect to stay with 3 couples. Beach is close by, but Akumal lagoon is more beautiful to swim with turtles.

Our family vacation at Cascadas is unforgettable. The beautiful location with the constant sounds of waves, lovely villa with so many great views especially the sunrises seen from every bedroom. Our family of 6 adults and 3 kids (ages 4,7 & 10) had lots to do exploring the area on golf cart and short walk to the beach. Armando & Andrea cooked 4 dinners for us and absolutely delicious!! They are lovely people and prepared continental breakfast each morning. The comp massages were amazing. Crystal and Lisa were our therapists and were professional and skilled, enjoyed the outdoor experience with sounds of waves & birds. Definitely recommend La Buena Vita for happy hour, Turtle Cafe is adorable & delicious food. Snorkeling at YalKu lagoon is definitely worth doing. We took the Collectivo and it was safe & cheap when visiting Atkun Chen cenyote. The food is also great across the bridge in Town of Akumal. Great tacos! So much to see and do - would love to return some day!!!

What a wonderful week we just spent at Balam Ek! We truly did not want to leave. The house is centrally located in Akumal, within easy walking distance of La Buena Vida, a small convenience store, La Lunita, and the Jungle Cafe. Everything was sparkling clean and well-maintained by Leticia and Roberto, and the rooms were comfortable. The views were unbeatable, and the house was well-equipped with towels and kitchen equipment. Sun rises were especially beautiful here! If you want a sandy beach, this is not the house for you. We don’t mind an iron shore, and we swam in the ocean daily right in front of the house. Just make sure you bring water shoes because the volcanic rock is too sharp for bare feet. We would not hesitate to stay at Balam Ek again. Highly recommend!

Omar was a great host , any problems we had he fixed it right away . Spent my 30th birthday here and felt right at home . House is very beautiful and when we return we will book here again .

Our family recently had the opportunity to stay in this beautiful slice of paradise in Soliman Bay. The home is within a boutique-type hotel that offers exceptional concierge, dining, and cleaning services. We were taken care of from beginning to end with prompt communication before our arrival to dedicated support and advice while staying there. Matias was our primary concierge contact, and my husband and I were so thankful for the endless tips, suggestions, and help he provided us. A continental breakfast is included in your stay and what a delight it was to see Bernie greet us every morning with the delicious fresh items. In addition to providing us tasty food, he offered great stories! Everyone was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. While we were off adventuring during the day, we loved coming back to our beautiful home, which offered excellent seating areas to see the gorgeous ocean, comfortable beds, filtered water, fresh towels, and a pool table. We hope to return!

We had a wonderful stay in Akumal. We were a group of 5 adults and 3 kids (infant, 3,6) and the place was well set up for our group. The beach was beautiful and so accessible right out the back door, the pool was perfect for the kids, and the outdoor space was so comfortable and inviting. The neighborhood was peaceful and relaxed. There was a portable crib available for the baby. We had chef Carlos come for a few breakfasts and dinners and the food was amazing-such a treat. We visited Akumal Natura Rescue, the Tulum ruins, and Yax-kin cenote, all wonderful and close by. Would highly recommend this place.

This trip was a home run! We could not have been happier with our choice. We were a group of seven adults. The connection the water was incredible from the back deck, living room and third floor. Just breathtaking. Plus the furnishings were perfect for indoor/outdoor living, and the interior design impressed everyone. A few reasonable restaurants nearby, and very short ride to Akumal beach to swim with turtles. Finally, the service/communication from the host was fantastic. Really helpful and responsive. We knew that it wasn’t easy to swim in the sea because of rocky shore line, though we did see people in the water nearby. We travel all over the world and definitely recommend this place.

Our extended family of ten stayed very comfortably in this lovely house. We enjoyed the space, the comfortable furniture, great snorkeling, and a lovely meal made by Jerry and Isabella. The house was as pictured, we found it peaceful, safe, and private. We loved sitting on the beach, and found the kitchen well supplied.

This was a terrific place for us to check out and relax. The condo is perched a hundred feet from the beautiful Caribbean and is a wonderful place to sea gaze, bird watch, read your book, and enjoy your coffee. We loved it! The staff were always helpful, welcoming, and generous. Highly recommend if you want a place to chill out away from the madding crowd!

We really liked our stay at this place. Just be aware that you live in an evolving area. Also you need a bicycle/scooter or car to get around. The size of the flat isn't that big but totally OK for two people. The little balcony with the hammock is nice to chill in the evening or when you want to have a smoke. Also the little pool on the rooftop is good for a cool down after the gym in the morning. If I come back to Tulum I will definitely come back to this place!

We stayed for a week at Jackie's place and had such an amazing time hanging out on the beach, snorkeling, walking to the beach bar, and more. The apartment was perfect and we have no complaints. As a group of friends we didn't mind the open concept, but just a note that the bathrooms in each bedroom do not have a door that you can shut. She had snorkel gear for us, towels, clean water, and all the kitchen appliances you could need. There was a blow dryer, hair straightener, griddle, blender, tupperware, air fryer, etc. There was daily housekeeping available, but we talked to the cleaner and asked for every other day. We also left a tip for her work. The location is perfect with an amazing view of the bay and walking distance from Yal Ku snorkeling, many restaurants, and Akumal bay. Jackie was very responsive and helpful before our trip giving us tips for transportation, things to do, and answering all our questions. We are a group of 5 college girls and felt extremely safe.

We were super comfortable in this accommodation, good communication and attention from the beginning, we traveled with 10 members and we were all able to enjoy it, great place to rest and enjoy the pool, the accommodation is in a very good location, we will definitely return!

Excellent place, we had the best, the accommodation super well; the beaches of the best or the best in q.roo

We absolutely fell in love with this space, and Akumal. The jungle setting and view was stunning. We enjoyed walking across the street to the beach, playing in the waves and searching the tide pools for treasures and creatures. The kids loved the pool time, (all the pools). Casey thought of absolutely everything one would need to make a relaxing fun vacation with a well stocked and fully equipped condo. From beach chairs, and water socks, to snorkel gear. My personal favorite was the coffee bar and well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed making meals and grilling out in the common area while the kids enjoyed more pool time. Lastly, beds and linens. Absolute heaven. I’m going to be thinking about that bed for a long time. Thank you Casey for helping make our family vacation memorable and all your fantastic suggestions.

Beautiful ocean view! Wake up to the sunrise, waves crashing in on the rocks, it’s stunning. The condo has beautiful tile decor, comfortable beds and kitchen is well-equipped, drinking water supplied. Amazing place! (Wifi is not good if that’s important). When we arrived, the power was out. JP greeted us and the team kindly helped us with our bags, apologizing for the inconvenience. They got the fridge working but we did not have use of power for approx 24 hours which made the beginning of our stay tricky. *We did not ask for nor receive any compensation for the inconvenience.* Our kids loved the pool. Although it was the middle of the day we received some odd looks and comments about how loud our kids were from other residents. We did not find free beach access near the Airbnb, just rocky areas and private property. We had beach and pool access at nearby restaurant/bar La Buena Vida which we enjoyed. We also enjoyed Lol•Ha Snack Bar and free beach access at Akumal Bay.

We loved every minute of our stay at Daniels place. The apartment is lovely and has all you need for an incredible stay! The area Aldea Zama is for the sure the best area to stay when visiting Tulum. The apartment is a few minutes walk from the beach and supermarket. Daniel provided us with great local recommendations and communication was perfect. Thank you for hosting us, Daniel!
