About this property

Serene and cozy beachfront villa on a white sandy beach, pool, AC and WiFi!

As you enter the property from the private gated garden area to the rear, you are greeted with a open floor plan living, dining, and kitchen looking straight out to the beach and ocean via an entire wall of full length sliding glass doors. This room allows fantastic views of the Caribbean sea. The living room is comfortably furnished and features a large flat screen TV with Satellite and DVD, plus stereo. There is dining space for 8 people with ocean views and a nice fully equipped kitchen with granite counter tops.

Also on the ground floor, there is a guest bedroom furnished with 2 single beds and adjoining guest bathroom. There are sliding doors leading straight out from this bedroom onto the private terrace and beach beyond.

Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms with king sized beds, plenty of closet space, nicely finished en suite bathrooms (ocean views from the shower!), and front and back terraces to give you both ocean and jungle views. There are sliding doors leading out to the ocean side terrace where you can relax on the cushioned seating and enjoy the view. This is also a lovely place to relax and watch the millions of stars in the Caribbean night sky.

In front of the villa is a shaded terrace, and a large private area of beach leading down towards the water. There are plenty of sun loungers, a shade palapa with sunken seating, and also a large outdoor dining table with seating for 8. Great for alfresco meals and beachfront cookouts!

To the rear of the villa, Serenity has ample off-street parking, and also a swimming pool.

Villa Serenity is also conveniently located within a short walk from the Grand Oasis all-inclusive resort and the Grand Bahia Principe resort where you can purchase day passes to use the resort facilities and entertainment. Bahia Principe Resort also has a shopping complex called Hacienda Dona Isabela which has gift shops, a bar, and an ATM machine. Villa Serenity is also a short walk from the new Riviera Maya Golf Course. Riviera Maya Golf Club is one of the most exciting golf courses here in the Riviera Maya. Spanning 223 acres and set within 717 acres of tropical rainforest, this course was designed by Robert Trent Jones II.

If you are looking for a beachfront vacation that is easy, comfortable, and relaxing then this is the perfect house for you! Villa Serenity is a wonderful choice for both families and friends.

Hidden gem

Just got back from a fantastic time in Mexico. The villa was excellent, everything we wanted. The location was quiet which suited us and yet close enough to some busier areas when we wanted. The staff were fantastic and kept the property in tip top condition. We loved the beach and the pool often using the pool in the evenings and in our second week when a large amount of seaweed turned up! We also had the delight of watching turtles coming up onto our beach to lay their eggs, simply a magical experience. Thank you so much for making our holiday so special

Great!

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: Villa Serenity is great. The property was really clean, well appointed and well worked well. Having a daily cleaning service was really nice. The villa is right on the nicest stretch of beach in the area which is also pretty quiet and felt very safe. The pool is heated which is a bonus and a really nice option to have. You do really need a car to stay here as it's a little way out from any restaurants and supermarkets etc. Nearest restaurants are about 10 mins drive, although there is a beach bar 100yds away! The road to get to the villa from the main road could use some maintenance but we were fine in a small car. Akumal Direct were great to deal with, good communication and information provided before arrival etc. Hopefully we'll be back in future!

Lovely beachfront property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: The house is in a quiet part of the small community. Open the back doors and you step right on the beach. You can snorkel directly out to a mini reef and easily see some tropical fish, including angel fish, damsels, and flounders. We came during low season so some of the bedrooms smelled a little stale when we first arrived (likely from the house being shut up) but keeping the doors open solved that problem. It wasn’t spotless but it’s a beach front property so that’s hard to do. The kitchen is decently set up. Water pressure is great. The house comes with filtered drinking water, which was nice to find. The hosts out back were wonderful, super helpful. There is a restaurant a few houses down on the beach we could walk to for some meals and take out that worked out well for us. Just a note, the back patio is quite slippery when you first step out of the outdoor shower. The older people in our group struggled with this.

Fantastic house and location

We’ve stayed in multiple homes in this small stretch of Akumal and this property is one of the best! Great experience in every way, from check in to daily interaction with the housekeeper, security, the beach, etc. We loved our time here and 100% recommend the property to anyone seeking to escape to a quiet little piece of paradise.

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: Fantastic vacation rental and well worth it. Nothing beats being able to step right outside the back porch right onto a groomed and clean beach front. Overall accommodations were great, Rita was consistent with cleaning and doing laundry (she even did the dishes)! Ramon, the night security guard sometimes scared us walking up to the house at night via the beach, but it was great knowing we were being looked out for. Ely was there to greet us when we arrived and made himself available for any needs, which we wound up not needing him considering the great care property amenities. The A/C was spot on and made a huge difference! Definitely recommend this place and the bikini bar just a few houses down the beach was very convenient.

Wonderful week on the beach

Villa serenity for our family of 6 perfectly. Private beach with life jackets, sand toys, and kayaks. Rita was so helpful in housekeeping and made us a delicious meal. Alejandro was available via text to answer questions and was a great resource for answering questions and booking excursions. Wonderful place by the ocean, yet away from the big resort feel.

And best of all the AC- in all bedrooms and main area. Very nice caretaker Ellie and housekeeper Rita. There a few floats, fins and life jackets also. Bring your own snorkel and mask.It is just steps to the beach. We didn’t use the pool in the back but it looked clean.We used the purified water provided and were fine. I highly recommend getting groceries delivered from riviera Maya as the nearest store is 20 minutes away.

Wonderful Beach House

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: We had a great time at this spot. Best stretch of beach and a quiet neighborhood. The pool was very nice and warm - kitchen was well stocked and beds were very comfortable. The staff did a wonderful job of keeping the house clean and helped with anything we needed. Great area to stay in - close to all the local attractions while being away from the craziness of the larger towns in the area. Our favorite day trips were Cenote Azul, Yal-ku Lagoon - just make sure you go the old entrance. We also had a great dinner at La Buena Vida and a good lunch at Lol-Ha Restaurant. We did do a day trip to the ruins in Tulum - the ruins were interesting and in a beautiful spot but be aware of the amount of haggling you will need to do to park and get tickets. Also if you want to do a day trip to Tulum to see the beach etc. we found that you need pay lots of $$$ to get a spot at one of the beach clubs to even see the water. The little bar/retaurant two doors down from the house - Bikini Bar is a great little spots for drinks. We would definite recommend this house and would stay here again.

Akumal November Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall our experience was good but we felt some things weren't as advertised and need attention. The best part of this property is the beach, hands down. Also, Eli and Rita are wonderful and took great care of us all. Things that were disappointing: No bedside lamp of any kind in the downstairs bedroom (We needed Eli to find us a lamp so we werent stuck with the single overhead fan lamp shining from above while trying to relax. The cement couches arent very comfortable and dont accommodate more than 2 or 3 people at a time. The stove requires a lighter to ignite. The toaster oven control/lettering are all worn off making it confusing to use. The refrigerator/freezer quits cooling, randomly, risking lots of food and safety. The pool is clean and refreshing but there are only TWO chaise's available and they had lots of bird droppings on them that was cleaned off despite asking. Definitely not enough seating for 6 people. The road into the condo from the highway is in horrible condition. Last, the pictures used in the listing must be fairly dated as the property doesnt look much like them. We did enjoy being able to run down to Tulum or up to Play del Carmen. We loved being able to walk down the beach to the beachside restaurants. The kayaks were a nice touch as was the well groomed beach. We enjoyed our stay but wish some things, as above, were in better condition and more comfortable.

Wonderful Family Trip

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: It was an amazing vacation. Beautiful beach and home in a really quiet area. The pictures don’t really do justice to how beautiful it was to relax on the lounger in the shade as your stress blows away in the breeze. We brought our own snorkelling gear so the family enjoyed snorkelling right in front of the home. The owners lived next door and were so kind and thoughtful. They had kayaks and adult life jackets out but the waves were a tad rough for the kids to use. That said, when they saw that we had little kids, brand new children’s life jackets magically appeared the next day. The home also had a team that would maintain the grounds, provide overnight security watch and clean the home and rooms daily. They were so kind. We speak no Spanish so it was so sweet of them to be patient when we tried to chat.We loved the quiet and peaceful location. We rented a car so it was really easy to get around. Public transport is not easily accessible without walking a ways away but if you have a rental car and enjoy peace and quiet this is your spot. Thank you to our host and their staff for a memorable family vacation.

Family getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house is beautiful and well maintained. Rita came every day and cleaned and made sure everything was in its place. The house always smelled so good when we would come back after enjoying our vacay out and about. She even cooked two meals for us that were very good! Eddie the grounds keeper was very attentive and so pleasant. He would help us out when we needed transportation to town. He does a nice job keeping the grounds maintained and raked the sand in front it the house every day. We were greatful that we stayed here and enjoyed walking the beach. The Beached Bikini was an added bonus a few doors down which is a fun bar and grill with great cocktails. We spent a day at the all inclusive resort Bahia Principe and a sunset cruise in Akumal. Thank you to our concierge David for being so attentive to our questions and helping us make decisions for the activities we wanted to take part of. All in all I give this place a 10/10 and we will be back! The sargasso seaweed was a drag but we didn’t let it wreck our trip! The pool is also a plus when we got hot and didn’t want to jump in the ocean. The neighbors next door were so kind and sweet.

Reviewer Comments: The house was in a good location....the staff was fabulous and took good care of us ❤️ the disappointment was the Sargassum on the beach but we tried not to let that interfere with swimming in the ocean.... The days that it was thick we had a great pool to swim in....this pool however was located in the back yard of the place next door. The people next door owned both properties and we had access to the use of it .The Bikini bar down the beach was great and the massage hut further down was excellent and would recommend the. The neighbour on the other side of property (left hand side looking at the water ) was not very friendly and quite rude to us....later in the afternoon we would follow the sun on the beach and she didn’t want us to lay in the sun in front of her property although we were very close to the water and not in her yard/ property but apparently she thought she owed the property all the way to the water 🤦‍♀️

Best beach vacation spot

Right on the beach a few meters from the water's edge. A uniquely beautiful modern villa with all conveniences in a really safe environment. Private parking inside a secured courtyard with a supplied automatic gate opener was great. The pool is perfect. Hot water for showers from what I assume was solar powered heaters on roof was available day and night. Raymond, our security guard, was there every evening and overnight to give us that sense of safety was appreciated. Ely was there every morning when we awoke cleaning and raking the white sand on our beach. Rita was there every day as well washing our dishes and keeping our rooms spotless every day as well. I can't say how much we appreciated the local staff making our stay a perfect one. The biggest and best surprise were the turtle nests clearly marked by the protective devices on "our beach" one of which was only 2 meters from our patio. On our third evening Raymond interrupted our chat on the patio with news that a hundred baby turtles from a nearby nest had hatched and the babies were headed the wrong way towards the lights between our villa and the one next door. He needed our help to direct them the other way around so they could head for the sea. My daughter grabbed a large plastic bowl filled with a little sand and we scooped up some of the babies that were trying to climb the wall and door to the pool area. She ran down to the water's edge and released the tiny turtles a couple meters from the waves on the beach. Now they knew which way to go on their own and they all flipped and flopped toward the waves. Meanwhile a local racoon type creature that had been hanging around the beach at night tried to attack some of the babies that had headed away from the water and my son and son-in-law shooed him away before he killed some of the baby turtles. The rare experience of having been present when the sea turtles hatched and made their way out to sea was something we all will cherish for our entire lives. Akumal is more or less halfway between Tulum and Playa del Carmen and is the perfect location to base your touring of Mayan ruins and Canotes from. We spent one afternoon on a floating and snorkeling tour of an underground river cave system called Cenotes Sac Actún, It was only a short drive away and was spectacular. We highly recommend this property as your next beach vacation spot!
