3BR villa in Tulum

Boho-Luxe 3BR Beachfront Paradise! - Houses for Rent in Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico

Beautiful home and great location!  The pool was amazing, and it felt like our own private ocean front pool. We hung out on the beach in the loungers every day. Also, having La Zebra next door was ideal - we walked over every day for breakfast, then maybe a drink later. We also walked to all the best restaurants, and only took a taxi for farther ones. Great trip, and we’d stay here again!

Thank you for the 5-star review! So happy you enjoyed the location to walk to explore. Wonderful to hear you enjoyed the pool and the loungers during your stay. We look forward to your return!

Our family enjoyed our stay at Snow's beach house. It was a beautiful home and property. The staff were all helpful without being invasive. We particularly appreciated the on-site food stand since we visited during a slow period, and fewer options were available for restaurants. The pool was very clean although it was outside under trees, which we appreciated. The view was unbelievable. Our only issue, which is no fault of the home, was the high winds and large piles of seaweed that made the ocean inaccessible. We made it work with the pool and cenotes - just poor timing on our part. Thank you for a lovely stay.

First off and foremost just want to say the staff was very welcoming and accommodating. Upon arrival the groundsmen helped us with all of our bags and carried them to our villa. When we entered this house It was beautiful, very spacious and open. Living room overlooks the ocean with a pool in front. All bedrooms were clean and spacious. Cleaning ladies cleaned the house everyday. You hardly knew they were there. Master bedroom overlooked the ocean. They had a nice little breakfast /lunch hut on the property where they make food and not expensive at all. This property is in walking distance to restraunts, shops and a gomart. You have local Cenotes in walking distance as well. This place is hands down in a prime spot. I highly recommend. We will definitely be back again. Also Snow the host is very responsive, accommodating and reasonable when renting out this place. Best regards Pike Family

Thank you so much Pike Family for your detailed review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the villa, the beachfront setting, and the care from our team. It means a lot to hear you felt welcomed and comfortable throughout your stay. We’re especially glad you enjoyed the location, the food hut, and all the little details that make the experience special. We will pass your kind review to our full team. We would absolutely love to welcome you back to Tulum again soon! You are ALWAYS welcome!

Beautiful spot right in the beach with comfortable loungers and refreshing pool. The breakfast/taco shack on the property was so much better than it needed to be. Everything we had was so fresh and delicious. Javier is the best!!! Would not hesitate for a moment to book again. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the perfect stay.

It was our pleasure to host your group Rachel! Glad you enjoyed the seaside pool and the loungers to enjoy the beach. We will pass your compliments to Javier our resident breakfast and taco bar chef - it is an amenity created just for our guests : )

This would be families 3rd stay with Snow and her team and it just keeps getting better every time. We typically rent a SUV for our trip but they recommended private transport which worked out perfect as we could not find great flights into Tulum and flew into Cancun this trip. Worked perfect both directions and the location of this property you can walk most anywhere. Where we needed rides the area now has an app called Idrive which we found better than Uber in the states and half the price of cab rides. The staff works hard keeping the beach clean and offers daily housekeeping which we used every other day. The on-site chef cooks great breakfast and lunch and is very fast with reasonable pricing. Our flight back was challenged due to snow in Minnesota so we were able to add 2 days in the same home with a fast email at discounted pricing. They rearranged our transport back to the airport with ease and 2 more days came seamlessly for our trip. The team makes us feel like family.

Thank you for the great review! We love to host your family and it is an absolute honour to be your home away from home in Tulum. We have a lovely staff of many years who care for our guests. Your kind words will light up the hearts of everyone at the Mahayana property so thank you for taking the time to share your experience. You are always welcome at our beach villas. We hope you visit us again soon!

This villa was perfection. You step right out to the beach, with a gorgeous pool just in front, and the on-site taco bar made lazy pool days effortless. It felt super private and serene, yet we could walk to amazing restaurants, bars, and clubs in minutes. The staff were wonderful — attentive but never intrusive — and every room felt like its own retreat. The main bedroom with the balcony overlooking the pool and ocean was a dream. Our whole group loved it and we’d come back in a heartbeat! Also, checkout all the baby sea turtles hatching in the beach if it’s in season. So special.

Thank you for staying with us! The baby sea turtles in September are so precious - happy your group could enjoy this magical time of year. we will pass your kind words to the staff of Mahayana and hope you visit us again soon!

Wrong value for the price The house is beautiful but not worth the price paid. No reception, shared pool and not lit at night, lots of insects in the house (ants and cockroaches), beach not suitable for swimming because of the algae.

Mauvais rapport qualité prix. La maison est belle mais ne vaut pas le prix payé. Pas d’accueil, piscine partagée et non éclairée le soir, beaucoup d’insectes dans la maison (fourmis et cafards), plage pas baignable à cause des algues.

Nous sommes déçus de recevoir votre avis 3 étoiles, car nous souhaitons que tous nos clients vivent une expérience 5 étoiles. Notre hôte vous a attendu à la propriété pour votre arrivée tardive en raison de votre retard à l'agence de location de voitures. Nous procédons à une fumigation et un traitement anti-insectes chaque semaine et, en cas de problème, nous sommes là pour vous aider. N'hésitez pas à nous en informer pendant votre séjour afin que nous puissions vous aider. La piscine est un espace commun, comme indiqué, et nous ne laissons pas les lumières allumées la nuit en été, car cela gêne la nidification des tortues sur la plage. Nous protégeons leur habitat, car elles sont menacées. Malheureusement, il y a eu des sargasses pendant votre séjour et vous avez certainement constaté que nous faisons de notre mieux pour gérer la situation, mais c'est naturel et difficile à prévoir. Bonne chance à vous !

My family and I spent a week in Tulum and had a truly wonderful time. The entire team—from the concierge to the housekeeper to the on-property café staff—was exceptional: organized, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The home itself is thoughtfully set up for comfort and ease. Having a pool just steps from the ocean was an incredible bonus, and the daily cleaning service (including laundry help) made everything effortless. The location is also ideal—less than a 10-minute walk to restaurants, with plenty to do nearby. This is a great property for a family or for three couples traveling together. We’d happily stay here again.

Thank you for staying with us! It was our pleasure to host your wonderful family in Tulum. We will pass your kind words to our resident taco bar chef and the on-side team for their care and hospitality. We hope you visit us again soon and are always welcome at our villas.

What an amazing beachfront villa! Food on property, pool on the beach... what else do you want? It's an amazing property

Thank you for staying with us Timothy! Great to hear you enjoyed your stay at our Mahayana Tulum Beachfront property. We hope to host you again soon!

The house is stunning and feels like an oasis.  The pool is glorious though note that it is not private to the unit and is shared with several other nearby houses.  The location of the house is great - easily walkable to fun and delicious restaurants, coffee shops, smoothie places, etc.  The "taco shack" was convenient and delicious, as well.  Overall a beautiful place to get away and enjoy Tulum.

Thank you for staying with us! This villa is on a beachfront property with a few other homes called Mahayana Tulum Beach Homes. The seaside swimming pool is a shared amenity with property guests. Glad you enjoyed the resident chef and central location to explore the famous Tulum Beach area. We hope to welcome you back one day!

Thank you for staying with us! We are lucky to have such a premium location on Tulum Beach. Please visit us again!

This property is amazing! Our host, Chabely, was friendly, responsive, & informative. The onsite staff were courteous & friendly & kept the property looking marvelous. The onsite food spot was delicious & fresh. The view is gorgeous! We really enjoyed our stay here & will be back. Would definitely recommend!!!

Thank you for the 5-star review and the helpful feedback! We will share your generous comments with our full staff and the chef at the taco stand. You are always welcome at our beach homes and we hope to welcome you back one day!

Thank you for staying with us! You are always welcome, and we can't wait until your next visit.

My Wife and I spent four nights in Snows beautiful home on the beach! We celebrated our 24 year anniversary. It was absolute paradise! We will definitely be going back!

Thank you for staying with us, Richard! It was our pleasure to host you for such a special trip! We can't wait until your next visit! Happy Anniversary!

Bedankt dat u bij ons bent gebleven! Wij hopen dat u snel weer langskomt. Thank you for staying with us! We hope you visit us again soon.

Wonderful host, seamless transaction and really secure property. Enjoyed the views and amenities!

We are happy to hear you enjoyed the views and the amenities at our Mahayana Tulum villa on the beach. Casa Bonita is a guest favourite because of the connection to the beach and sea. It is also important that you felt safe and secure on the property. We hope you visit us again soon in Tulum!

Absolutely beautiful views! From the host, to the daily cleaners, grounds keepers, to the tiki hut chef, everyone was accommodating and helpful! Peaceful, and private and just a short walk to restaurants. We enjoyed just walking out to the ocean in the mornings and then enjoying the oceanside pool mid day. Thank you for a great week!

Thanks you for the great review! We will share your kind words with our full staff at the Mahayana property. We hope to welcome you back to Casa Bonita for another stay soon. You are always welcome at our beach villas.

I would highly recommend renting this villa! Not only is the property beautiful and very well kept, it is also in the best spot if you are wanting to stay on the beach! It is walkable to so many amazing restaurants and bars. And having A/C was wonderful. Both the concierges, Chabley and Miriam, were extremely helpful as well. They could not have been nicer and made our trip so much more enjoyable and easy. It was our first time in Tulum and we will definitely be renting this property again. Pros/Cons: Pros - on the beach, has A/C, walkable to restaurants/bars, easy access, private, concierge, friendly staff, security. Cons - honestly don't have any cons from this trip. You won't regret booking this villa!

Thanks for the kind words Brittany! We will share your review with our staff and are so happy to hear you had an amazing stay. We look forward to welcoming you back to Mahayana soon!

This beach home is a rare and special find in Tulum. The full kitchen and three bedrooms and three bathrooms right on the beach were exceptional.. pick this place!!!

Thank you for staying with us! We are very lucky to have a premium location in Tulum. We hope to welcome you back for another stay soon!

Had a great few days in this place! The home on the beach was beautiful and i'd love to come back to the same property!

You are ALWAYS welcome! Such a please to host you at Casa Bonita! We hope you visit us again very soon!

Wonderful location, beautiful residence, extremely friendly staff!

Thanks for staying with us! Great to hear you enjoyed your stay at Casa Bonita. We hope to see you again soon!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Casa Bonita, it's attentive staff and our host Snow. Everything truly exceeded all our expectations. The home was so beautiful, impeccably clean and comfortable. This was truly our most memorable and favorite family vacation ever. We can't wait to come back with friends in the future to this beautiful place.

We loved hosting your family at Casa Bonita! Being so close to the sea requires extra care - we take pride in sharing homes that are sparkling clean and well maintained. We hope you visit us again soon!

We had a fantastic stay. The location and staff were incredible.

Great to hear you loved your stay at Casa Bonita! We hope to see you again soon on the beach.

This place is even more amazing than pictured! The location cannot be beat. You are steps to the beach and right in the middle of all the action on the beach strip of hotels and restaurants. Miriam and Chebely are wonderful hosts and took care of all of our needs. Highly recommend this place! I cannot wait to go back!

Great to hear you enjoyed your stay at Casa Bonita! The location truly is perfect to enjoy the best of Tulum.  I will pass your kind words to Chabely + Miriam (our onsite concierge team) for the attentive care and hospitality during your stay. Come back soon! We look forward to your return!

The villa was right on the beach and the value was great. The staff was very helpful. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is that there was loud music from some of the restaurants down the street that was playing until around 2:30 AM every single day. Of the 3 guests, I was the only one bothered. It was just loud enough to be annoying and I would occasionally have to wear ear plugs.

Thank you for the review and the feedback! Casa Bonita is a centrally located Villa and the master bedroom has a palapa roof. This makes this bedroom more sensitive to sound from nearby restaurants. Villas on our Zorba property are a bit further from the heart of the Tulum beach area and more peaceful. Closing the doors and windows and using the AC also help to create nice conditions for sleeping. We hope to welcome you back for another stay!

What a wonderful home. Service was fantastic. House was awesome. Great location. Overall, the entire staff was one of the best Airbnb experiences we have had. Highly recommended.

Happy to hear you had a great holiday! Thank you for recommending us. We are honoured to be one of your top Airbnb experiences. Please visit us again soon!

Our group of six loved our stay at Casa Bonita!! The ocean front location is great, with plenty of options for eating and entertainment within a short walk. But even though we were in the heart of the bustling Tulum Beach area, the grounds around the four Mahayana houses were a peaceful oasis. The decor of the house perfectly embodies the boho chic aesthetic of Tulum, which added to the fun. Everything was spotless, and there’s on-site security in the evening. Miriam and Chalaby are a fantastic concierge team, and made us feel right at home. And though it wasn’t open every day of our stay, the taco bar had a limited, but spot on selection of breakfast, lunch and snack options available for the four Mahayana houses. We also had a delicious meal prepared by a local chef, which we booked through our rental. Overall, a great experience!

Thank you for the kind and detailed review! It was our pleasure to host you at our Mahayana property and great to hear you enjoyed the new guest-only taco + breakfast option and felt safe and well cared for by our team. We will share your review with our staff and with the chef. We hope you visit us again soon!

The property is even better in person, we really enjoyed our stay. Snow and on site property managers and staff helped make our stay as convenient as possible.

Thank you for staying with us at Casa Bonita! Great to hear you enjoyed the location and the aesthetic of the house. We hope you visit us again soon.

This property is beautiful inside and out, perfectly located near restaurants you can get to by beach or street within walking distance, the concierge staff helped us plan our days with excellent recommendations and took care of the reservations, the home and grounds was kept immaculately our entire time their and the on-site security was top notch-there is not a thing we didn’t love about this place-would most definitely stay here again ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for staying with us for your birthday trip! I will pass your kind words to our staff. We like our guests to feel relaxed, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay at the Mahayana property. The location of the Casa Bonita house is ideal - central to explore and right on the beach. We look forward to your next visit!

Beautiful villa, ideal location, and great hospitality. Would definitely book again!

Thank you for staying with us at Casa Bonita! The location is ideal to explore the best of the Tulum area and have unrestricted access to the beach. We hope you visit us again soon!

Excellent stay. Beautiful location right in the beach zone. The house is just steps from the ocean. Great vibe. I would definitely come back

Thanks for staying with us at Casa Bonita! The central location is ideal for exploring the Tulum area. It is all about location in Tulum. And it is worth the investment to stay directly on the beach. We hope you come back soon!

Amazing location and very responsive hosts. Would stay again.

So happy you enjoyed the central location! We hope to welcome you back for a future stay. All the best to you!

One of the best vacations ever!!! The location and the house are perfection!!

Thank you so much for staying with us and for the review! We are so happy you enjoyed the location and the style of the place. We hope you find your way back to Tulum and to one of our homes on the beach again soon.

Spectacular Casa Bonita! Great location, very spacious and with unbeatable ocean views. Your concierge, Chabely, is always attentive to our needs. I'm sure my family and I will be back.

Espectacular Casa Bonita! Excelente ubicación, muy espaciosa y con inmejorable vista al mar. Su concierge, Chabely, siempre al pendiente de nuestras necesidades. Seguro que volvemos mi familia y yo.

¡Gracias por estar con nosotros! Fue un placer recibir a su familia en la playa. La ubicación es increíble para familias. ¡Esperamos su próxima visita!

My kids led me to Tulum and I followed them. We loved Tulum and Casa Bonita. It was the perfect size and location for us. I would have liked to have a small oven, BBQ grill, and a microwave. This made it almost impossible to prepare our main meals at the house. The staff was wonderful. The housekeeping service daily was such a treat. Thank you!

So happy you enjoyed your stay! We will share your kind words with our staff.  The Tulum beach area is off grid so we are very conscious of energy consumption and do not equip our homes with microwaves. Our larger homes have ovens but as we are directly on the sea and exposed to salty sea breezes we take careful consideration before adding appliances as they can develop rust very quickly. Bonita is very close to many restaurants and we offer in house chef services so find most of our guests do not require an oven. Thank you for the feedback!

We had a great stay at Snow’s place. Chambely has been an outstanding concierge! Highly recommended.

It was a pleasure to host you while you were in Tulum for the New Year! I will pass on your kind comments to our concierge. We hope you visit again sometime. All the best for 2019!

You won’t regret staying here, So book already ! What’s not to like ? Steps away from the beach, you’re always hearing the sound of the waves, excellent hosts and an ideal location. You can do it all...or lay on a hammock doing nothing!

Thank you for the review and for the feedback! You are always welcome at our homes and we will do our best so have an excellent stay!

It was a great place in a great location! Only thing I didn’t like was the housekeeping they didn’t really clean but other then that the stay was great

Happy to her you enjoyed the house and the location. We have a wonderful staff who clean and prepare the homes by cleaning the floor, bathrooms and dishes and making the beds each day. Please let our manager know if something does not meet your expectations and we will be sure to let our staff know right away. We want you to be fully relaxed and enjoy yourself. We hope you stay with us again soon!

Lovely place, fantastic location, nice people.

Thank you for staying with us! You are welcome back anytime.

Gorgeous place in a beautiful setting! Great communication by the host, complete with wonderful recommendations. Cannot wait to visit again!

I was lucky enough to spend a week at Casa Bonita with two friends. The property is immaculate, situated right on the Beach and has all the amenities one could need for a comfortable and safe stay. Snow and Guy were fantastic and reliable hosts. I can recommend this property with confidence.
