Waterfront holiday 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!

Lovely apartment, chic windows and the 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!

ANTAL is a wonderful place to stay! It is super quiet and has absolutely beautiful design inside the apartment and in the building common areas. The pool and common areas were fantastic with comfortable lounge furniture, gentle activities (cornhole and giant jenga), and lots of shade. There is a 10 minute drive down a dirt road, but that does keep things quiet. The only negative was that there was a lot of sargasso on the beach while were were there, but that was true of absolutely everywhere along the coast.

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.

We had a great stay at Sebastian’s and Jessica’s place . It’s quite a ways from Akumal so a car or Scooter definitely helps although Colectivos stop right at the highway. Both were very responsive when ever we had questions or needed anything . I loved the large balcony we had , beautiful to just sit and enjoy the jungle view . We definitely enjoyed our time there and in akumal.

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.

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!

It was our first stay in Tulum. The house was exactly what we were looking for to fit my fiancé, toddler, and mom. There was plenty of walkable areas. We expected to be a few miles from beach staying more inland closer to a wedding venue, but the drive there was quick and easy. Omar was the main contact and was super responsive and very friendly! For anyone looking for a less touristy, safe, and more cultured stay in Tulum, this is your spot!

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.

La Belle Vie is the most lovely and tasteful rental I’ve ever had. The artwork, setting on the beach, gathering spaces for our group provided classy atmosphere for conversation and meditation. My husband and I were comfortable in the first floor ensuite room and my son and his family were appreciative of their three bedrooms upstairs. The rooftop was perfect for cocktails and stargazing. The kitchen and fridge were well stocked and serving dishes and cooking items ample. The beach was just steps off our porch and if it wasn’t for the sargassum we would have swum every day there. The beach was a slightly better option. The host was helpful and prompt. A book with some information on the house and area would have answered some questions. Overall, I can’t say enough good to recommend this spot.

This house was a fantasy. Incredible attention to detail, interesting architecture and interiors and an extremely comfortable atmosphere inside and out. The views are sounds and friendly staff make this place even better. I will be booking again when I can.

We absolutely adored Lorenzo‘s place. Jerry and his wife and daughter were such lovely caretakers. Amazing cooks and helpful with local recommendations. We had a party of nine with four kids and five adults. The space was perfectly suited for us. Kids were in the adjoining rooms/bathroom (loft windows closed for privacy and to keep air conditioning air contained). One adult couple stayed in the upstairs suite which had access to a patio/stairs for a private entrance. The serenity of the bay was unbeatable. Snorkeling straight from house and kayaks were a treat for all and we loved the local restaurant Manta Ray a few doors down. Hope to be back someday.

We stayed here as a family reunion - three kids (6,4,1) and four adults. It was excellent! Felt very safe since it's inside the resort but you could walk around and with paying for passes at Casa Club, you could easily access the resorts (our favorite was Tulum because of the water park for kids plus beach). We loved the ability to jump between doing a resort day and all of the other amazing activities around like Xel Ha, Aktun Chen, the gorgeous Kay Beach resort etc. The best was for all us to be able to all stay in the same house, hang out in the living room. Host was very communicative. The instructions need updating, as I don't believe there is an actual key anymore, only the keypad. But we figured it out pretty easily and everything worked perfectly. Enjoy!!

The first thing that hits you is the panoramic view of the ocean and waves ceashing on the natural rocky shore. The space itself is clean, artful and has everything you need to cook meals. The bed and linens are extremely comfortable and having 2 toilets is nice. Its quiet aside from the sounds of ocean waves and local birds. You are in walking distance to the city center of Akumal and a lagoon that has amazing snorkling for a fair price. If you are adventurous you can hike the rocky coast to the left and enter the ocean to snorkle in the lagoon where it is always more calm than the ocean. There is not a thing i can say wasnt 100% awesome about this site. There is also a sandy beach up the street if thats what you are looking for. Everyone we encountered here was very friendly. I highly recommend this if you want a place to snorkel away from the crowds, or just a beautiful ocean view.

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!

Miguel’s condo was absolutely exceptional!!! Beach access through the beach club was extremely easy and the beach area was amazing!!! Snorkeling was magical with all the beautiful sea life! Everything was clean, the beds were extremely comfortable and we felt like we were the only ones there! We would without hesitation book again with Miguel!!

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!
