5BR villa in Akumal

Beachfront luxury villa - 5 bedrooms, pool & wifi - Houses for Rent in Akumal, Quintana Roo,, Mexico

The house is very nice, spacious and well equipped. The host was friendly and responsive when we needed him. However, the house is advertised as oceanfront, but there was a lot of seaweed and it was impossible to get into the ocean. We understand that seaweed is a natural phenomenon and that it is not the host's responsibility, but I think it is important for future guests to check the seaweed season carefully. Overall, the house is nice and the host is attentive to your needs.

La casa es muy bonita, amplia y está bien equipada. El anfitrión fue amable y respondió rápido cuando lo necesitamos. Sin embargo la casa se anuncia frente al mar, pero la cantidad de sargazo era muy alta y fue imposible meterse al mar, entendemos que el sargazo es un fenómeno natural y que no depende del anfitrión, pero considero importante para futuros huéspedes revisar bien la temporada de sargazo. En general la casa es agradable y el anfitrión está atento a tus necesidades.

Thank you very much for your kind review and for taking the time to share your experience, Ana Paola! We are very happy to know that you enjoyed the house, that you found it spacious and well equipped, and that our team was able to assist you quickly when you needed it. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the gulfweed. As mentioned, it is a natural phenomenon that can affect some areas of the Caribbean coast, especially during the summer months, and its presence depends on currents and winds. In fact, during the first half of the summer, the beach in front of the house was practically free of seaweed, but shortly before your arrival, a large bank arrived that considerably changed the conditions. In addition, the beach has a cleaning team that works six days a week removing sargassum to keep it in the best possible condition. However, sometimes the amount that arrives exceeds what can be withdrawn immediately. It was a pleasure to welcome you, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future, during a season with better beach conditions :)

My family and I enjoyed our stay in this beautiful beachfront home on Akumal bay. They have everything you need to enjoy the beach and to have family dinners either outside or inside. The host was very helpful with answering all our questions and in connecting us with a great Mariachi band to help celebrate my wife's birthday. Naomi & Jorge took very good care of us and made the stay extra enjoyable. We hope to be back next year to do it all over. Great job team Casa San Francisco!

Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback about your stay at Casa San Francisco! We're so delighted to hear you enjoyed your visit, and we hope you return to Akumal soon! Happy travels always, Daniel!

We had a great stay in Akumal. Akumal direct were very responsive and we could always reach them via text. The house keepers cleaned and tidied daily. The property steps onto a beachfront with access to some incredible snorkelling over a coral reef home to loads of amazing sea life.

Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback, Neil! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay, and we hope you return to Akumal soon! Happy travels! :)

Loved the spot. Pool. Beach. Hammock. Calm swimming right out back kayaks masks. Not hard to get rides to the beach clubs/restaurants and bar in Akumal. Near the monkey preserve. Set up cooking and airport transport via host which was seamless. Could walk to beach club area if you wanted. Felt safe and tropical and relaxing. Luxurious to have cooking and cleaning at an Airbnb. Kids loved it too.

Akumel Direct was amazing!  They arranged all of our tours, meals and transportation.  Very trustworthy and responsive.  We are an English speaking family of 7 and had no troubles.  Felt very safe and Akumal Direct was very responsive to any questions or concerns.  Top notch.

Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback and kind words! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Casa San Francisco, and we hope you return to Akumal soon! Happy travels always. Akumal Direct

Lovely home. Well equipped. Great, attentive and responsive staff. Very quiet, safe, private neighborhood. Beach a little rocky but stunning and fairly deserted. Would return and highly recommend.

Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback, Meg! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay, and we hope you return to Akumal soon and Casa San Francisco soon. Happy travels always!

Had a group of 9 and house was perfect. Right on the beach and not far from Akumal. Really nice place to stay.

Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and we hope you return to Casa San Francisco soon! Happy travels always!

The house is a dream, right on the beach. If you have the 2 meters of algae on the beach, you have clear water with lots of fish and coral. We went snorkeling a lot. The location is perfect, many cenotes nearby, xcaret and 21/2 hours to chichin Itza. The housekeeper cleaned everything every day and washed our laundry. That was a great service. The only problem was the mosquitoes, but I have to say that we knew it was the rainy season in Mexico. They are particularly active there. Spraying well helps. The pool was clean and in the heat a help to cool down quickly. Raccoons are out at night. It was a great time and the house is really great.

Das Haus ist ein Traum,direkt am Strand. wenn man die 2 Meter Algen am Strand ,hat man klares Wasser mit vielen Fischen und Korallen. Wir waren viel schnorcheln. die Lage ist perfekt ,viele Cenoten in der Nähe, xcaret und 21/2 Stunden nach chichin Itza. die Haushälterin hat jeden Tag alles sauber gemacht und unsere Wäsche gewaschen. das war ein toller Service. das einzige Problem waren die Mücken,dazu muss ich aber sagen das wir davon wussten es ist Regenzeit in mexiko.da sind die besonders Aktiv. gut einsprayen hilft. der Pool war sauber und bei der Hitze eine Hilfe sich mal schnell abzukühlen. Waschbären sind nachts unterwegs.  es war eine tolle Zeit und das Haus ist richtig super.

Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and we hope you return to Akumal soon! Happy travels! :)

Traditional architecture with ensure bathrooms. Outdoors are amazing. pool is just the right size. Maid service was friendly and helpful.  No issues with safety in neighborhood or beach.  some seaweed on beach, which is typical this time of year.  Ocean was warm and clear.  mix of rocks and sand along beach, but still wadeable and room to swim.  Authentic!

We visited with seven adults and two toddlers.  The house was spacious and had room for everyone to spread out. We had them cook for us a few nights during the visit, and the food was excellent. Very kind and accommodatinging hosts!

Incredible Air BnB. We came for my partner’s 40th birthday and had an amazing time. The place is gorgeous - right on the ocean with big bedrooms and bathrooms. We used the chef service and the staff were excellent. We rented cars, which made it much easier to get groceries and go into town. Would love to go back.

Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback, Heather! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and we hope you return to Akumal soon! Happy travels! :)

We loved the place. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The place is so peaceful and beautiful view.

Thank you so much, it was a pleasure hosting your group, Pamela! We appreciate you choosing Casa San Francisco for your stay. Happy travels always, Akumal Direct

beautiful house with pool right on the beach. we loved being able to snorkel in our own backyard.  we loved our stay here with our extended family!  great location between Playa Del Carmen and Tulum, close to many cenotes and the Xcaret parks,  though the town of Akumal is  small and nearest grocery is 15-20 minute drive away. would recommend renting your own car. What's a little unclear from the description is that all the rooms except one are in the main house, and there's a little queen bedroom suite across the courtyard and up a set of stairs - great for privacy, but a little separate from the rest of the house. the staff were great and helpful as well. we would love to come back!

Thanks for taking the time to comment about your stay, Jennifer. It was a pleasure to host you. We hope to see you back in Akumal again soon. Happy travels always, Akumal Direct

my family and I had a wonderful time.  very restful and relaxing.   enjoyed the ocean and beach walks.  we are con's going again.

Thank you so much for your comments, Michael! We are really happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back anytime. Until then, happy travels always! Akumal Direct Reservations

We had a great time! It was so nice to be able to walk to some bars and the swimmable beach area. We loved Jungle Fish Beach Club short walk to the left of the house with great food and service. We had the staff cook us a couple meals which was great. I’d definitely recommend stopping at the store on the way to the house though. It was $50 round trip cab ride to the go mart that’s only a few mins away to get snacks and drinks. It was such a relaxing space with non stop beach breeze.

We went to Casa San Francisco for spring break with 2 other families - 6 adults and 6 kids. The place was perfect! The pool was large enough and the beach is beautiful just beyond the pool. Though it is rocky so tougher to go in the water. The entire process of booking to checkout was super easy and very convenient. We preordered groceries that were picked up by the staff and had snacks and drinks made upon arrival (prearranged). The house is well stocked and spacious. The housekeepers, Jorge and Naomi (spelling?), were great, friendly, and responsive. They made delicious meals and were overall lovely! We are already talking about going back!

Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback, Ankita! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and we hope you return to Akumal soon! Happy travels! :)

What can we say? This was an amazing rental. The house was comfortable and well appointed. The setting is exceptionally beautiful. The house staff was so easy to work with and so accommodating. All of their assistance was so helpful and so well thought out. We had a wonderful time and we were so sad to leave. Thank you.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review for Casa San Francisco, Suzanne. We appreciate your kind words about the villa and the staff. They are wonderful people who truly care about guest enjoyment and comfort. It was a pleasure to host your group. We hope you will return to the Akumal area again soon. Thanks for your business. It is greatly appreciated! Happy travels always, Akumal Direct

Don’t even think about it…book now! Casa San Francisco is so beautiful and peaceful. Our hosts made us feel like home. The house is spacious, well maintained and you are right at the beach. White sand beaches are 10 min away…and drive from Cancun Airport was easy.

Thank you so much for your feedback, IIeana! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to your return!

Peaceful, relaxing & beautiful! The house is very spacious and looks even better in person. The kitchen was also much more well stocked than most air bnbs. It was so nice to have a pool, beach and private outdoor spaces to enjoy with a gorgeous view of Akumal Bay. We even saw a sea turtle come up on the beach to make her nest one night. It was truly magical! The hosts are very responsive and the staff members are amazing. We had them cook dinner a couple times and it was delicious .

Thank you so much for your feedback! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to your return :)

Thank you so much for your feedback, Diane.  We appreciate you staying with us.

To start, Guille Flores, the manager of the property is simply amazing. Her and the staff that works with her, are the reason that the vacation is top level experience. They are so helpful with the whole aspect of your stay. Providing breakfast lunch and dinner. Or helping you find somewhere to go as an excursion that more locals would go to experience. Simply just waking up with them brewing a fresh cup of coffee for you in the morning. Enough can never be said of their professionalism. Now to the house, pictures are very accurate. Of course, they never do it justice when you’re there in person. Views are stunning the beach is close. You just feel that you are in a spa like atmosphere! I certainly will come here again! The only recommendation is to upgrade to a better sound quality TV downstairs for night time viewing. Other than that, a worthwhile experience!

Thank you so much for your feedback, Ryan! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to your return :)

The house is beautiful and comes with everything you need for a vacation, the host's service is excellent and is located in a very safe condominium.

La casa es hermosa y cuenta con todo lo necesario para unas vacaciones, la atención del host excelente y está ubicada en un condominio muy seguro.

Muchas gracias por elegir Casa San Francisco para sus vacaciones. Fue encantador hospedarte, Maria. ¡Estamos muy contentos de que haya disfrutado de la casa y de su estancia! Esperamos volver a verte pronto! Felices viajes siempre, Akumal Direct Reservations

We had great service from the house manager, maid, and yard guy.   Guille is the house manager and visited multiple times per day.  She was VERY responsive and made sure our stay was comfortable.  We had indoor and outdoor cleaning 6 days a week.  Our group had four couples who each had their own room with an en suite bathroom.  Three had king beds.  The casita had a queen bed.  The fifth bedroom had two twins and a day bed where the kids slept.  The twins could have been converted to a king if needed.   The furnishings - indoor and out -  are comfortable. Akumal Bay has a rocky entry so some surf shoes are a good idea.  The closest place to eat (Jungle Fish) is about 15 minutes north on the beach and serves good seafood in a casual atmosphere.   We had chef service for our breakfasts and dinners.  They shopped, cooked and cleaned which made for an extra relaxing week.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us here at Casa San Francisco, Tim. We appreciate your kind words about the service you received from Guille, our house manager. Guest comfort is super important to everyone. It was a great pleasure to host your group. We appreciate you choosing Akumal as your vacation destination.

We were very pleased with this home. It is ideally located in Akumal, just minutes from the dive shop and right on a beautiful beach with good snorkeling just offshore. The kitchen is well appointed and the living spaces are comfortable. A/C worked well and the master bedroom’s king size bed is very comfortable. The garden and outdoor spaces are delightful.  I would gladly return to this location.

Thank you so much for being such a lovely guest, Oscar! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Casa San Francisco. Our greatest compliment is that you wish to return. If so, it will be our pleasure to assist you in the future.  Happy travels always, Akumal Direct Reservations

We had a FABULOUS time at Casa San Francisco!! First of all the house was lovely with 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a wonderful outdoor space - beautiful pool and the beach right out front. The view is overwhelmingly beautiful. Guille the house manager was there when we arrived and explained everything about the property. She came over every day to make sure that everything was great . A maid came daily to clean and a gentleman came every other day to take care of the pool. Each year my husband and I and our family of 3 sons, 3 daughter-in-laws and 3 grandchildren go somewhere in the summer together for a week. We have been to Cape Cod, the Outer Banks and other spots but Casa San Francisco is our favorite of all. We spent a great deal of our 8 day trip at the house enjoying the pool and the sea - doing a lot of snorkeling and kayaking. We rented a 12 passenger van at the airport so we could visit various spots. We swam in 3 different Cinotes, visited the ruins in Coba, visited Tulum and snorkeled with the turtles in Akumal. We also hired Chefs who cooked Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner for us each day and did all the shopping. (Best decision ever!!!). We went thru Chef Daveed. Our chefs, a wonderful couple - Esmarelda and Edgar - were remarkable. Everything was beyond delicious - and they are just such lovely people. (If you decide to do this ask for them.) The street the house is located on is gated and manned 24 hrs a day with a security guard. We felt completely safe. It was our best family vacation yet. I highly recommend Casa San Francisco. We WILL be back. Carole

Thank you, Carole for your wonderful comments about your stay on South Akumal beach at Casa San Francisco.  We are so pleased that you enjoyed the location and home.  We are thrilled that you had an amazing vacation.  Our greatest compliment is that you wish to return.  We will pass along your kind words to the staff and service providers.  Thank you again for choosing Mexico and Casa San Francisco as your family vacation destination!  Happy travels always, Akumal Direct Reservations

Casa San Francisco was absolutely incredible. Literally steps from the sea, the views from the house are nothing short of spectacular. We were greeted by Guille the house manager upon our arrival, and were swept away by the beauty of the place. Guille checked in every day to make sure we had everting we needed. The house is huge, with more than enough room for our party of nine. Everything was super clean, including the pool, which we used extensively throughout our stay. The location of the house is about 5 minutes south of Akumal and about 20 minutes north of Tulum. The convenient location allowed us to explore the Tulum area and the ruins there, but also the ruins in Cobá with ease. Highly recommend having a car to get around! The quiet street is gated and manned by security personnel 24/7 who also walk the beaches at night. We felt incredibly safe during our visit.

Thank you for your kind words, Jeff! We are so pleased you enjoyed your vacation. We appreciate you choosing Akumal as your vacation destination and we hope to see you again soon. Happy travels always, Akumal Direct Reservations
