Beach House with a Pool and Kayaks in Tankah Tulum - Houses for Rent in Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico

Wonderful location. Amenities were amazing. The only issue not related to the host or the AirBnB was the seaweed made the beach experience poor. We will definitely be back in November or December when the seaweed leaves the area. The hosts were amazing and very responsive.

Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback, Karynthia! We're looking forward to hosting you again soon! Happy travels! :)

I’ve stayed in Mexico several times at several Airbnb’s. This one was right on the water, which was great. You could walk down the beach to a restaurant one way and back down the beach to a restaurant the other way. There was a Cenote 50 yards down the road that was absolutely beautiful. The maid and gardener that lived upfront, clean constantly and took care of the pool constantly. There was a problem with the pool that they had no control of and they fixed it that same day, which is surprising because I do Pools for a living. Unheard of speed to repair something. Which basically means management is on top of things.

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

We were a family of 6 who stayed there for a week. The house and the beach felt private and peaceful. We cooked our own food for many of the meals, but also use a restaurant within walking distance of the beach which was absolutely great. We also used the chef service for two days. Very good food. Irma, the warm and friendly housekeeper, came every day and helped with the dishes and kept the house clean and nice. The only challenge with the house is seaweed that is washed up on the beach and makes it a little unattractive to swim in the sea, but fortunately we were able to swim from the jetties, so then it went well. A house is being built quite close to this house, but it was not finished when we stayed there, so we do not know how it will feel.  All in all, it was a very quiet and relaxing place, where everything worked as it should.

Vi var en familie på 6 som bodde der i en uke. Huset og stranden føltes privat og fredelig. Vi laget egen mat til mange av måltidene, men benytter oss også av restaurant i gangavstand fra stranden som var helt supert. Vi benyttet også kokke tjenesten to dager. Veldig god mat. Irma, den varme og vennlige hushjelpen, kom hver dag og hjalp til med oppvask og holdt huset rent og fint. Eneste utfordringen med huset er sjøgress/tang som skylles opp på stranden og gjør det litt lite attraktivt å bade i sjøen, men heldigvis fikk vi bade fra bryggene, så da gikk det fint. Det bygges et hus ganske tett innpå dette huset, men det var ikke ferdig når vi bodde der, så vi vet ikke hvordan det vil føles.  Alt i alt var det et veldig rolig og avslappende sted, hvor alt fungerte som det skulle.

Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback, Heidi! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Casa Cavu, and we hope you return to Mexico soon! Happy travels always!

Great location, nice house, wonderful staff.

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

Absolutely gorgeous location for the Airbnb. The caretaker was wonderful and really made sure our stay was special. Each room has its own A/C unit to make sure you can sleep overnight in the hot/humid nights. We didn't make use of the pool too much but it was super clean and a great option for us. There were a few hotel restaurants nearby which was a nice option for breakfast or on the nights we didn't want to drive. The caretaker can also make your meals, though! We did scuba diving through Mexidivers and they met us down the road at the cenote, which was just a short walk from the Airbnb. Note: if you rent a car that the dirt road to the Airbnb is VERY bumpy and adds a few more minutes to your commute (my minivan was bottoming out).

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! :)

The house was perfect for our family of 5. We knew that there would be construction during the day, and possible sargassum, but our days were filled with swimming in different cenotes and visiting other areas so it wasn’t an issue for us. The highlight of our stay were the hosts, Jose & Delphina, who greeted us with homemade guacamole, ceviche & chips! We hired them to make our breakfast the next am since we were leaving early to Chichén Itza. What a treat, and the freshly squeezed guava juice came from the guavas in front of our house ! They even made our beds, came back another afternoon with sliced guavas. Jose always had a warm smile and wanted to make sure we were comfortable. We’ve stayed at Air Bnb’s & VRBO’s for 20+ yrs but this hands on experience has been beyond 5 stars for us! Muchas gracias for your services Jose & Delphina !!

Thank you so much! We’re delighted you enjoyed the house, the homemade meals, and of course the fresh guava juice from the garden. José and Delphina will be so happy to hear your kind words. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

This is without a doubt the best AirBnB experience I’ve had. The caretakers brought fresh fruit and coconut drinks, checked in on our needs, offered to do anything needed, all without prompt. In addition, we asked for the cooking services two nights and it was amazing. I avoid hyperbole - the best I’ve ever experienced. Quiet, walkable to a few restaurants, amazing pool, cold ac in the rooms, well priced, everything. If you’re trying to pick, this is it.

Thank you for your kind words about your stay at Casa Cavu, Luke! It was a pleasure to host you. We appreciate you choosing the property that resulted in a place of rest and pampering. It will be wonderful to see you again in the future. Happy travels always, Akumal Direct

We had a lovely stay at Casa Cavu. The concierge arranged our rental car through Quality car rental and we were met outside the Tulum airport when we arrived. The house was clean and comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped. We shopped for groceries in Tulum, but we had the hosts cook one of our meals and walked to a nearby restaurant one night. The breeze off the ocean was delightful and the pool was just perfect. The white sand beach was steps from the pool and there were only the occasional passers by. We found the entry into the water difficult due to the rocky coral close to shore (bring water shoes) but enjoyed the provided kayaks. The snorkeling away from shore was good on the calmer days. The AC in each bedroom worked well. Before confirming our reservation, the host was careful to disclose the construction going on next door. Overall, a fabulous place to stay: a private house with a private pool right on a quiet beach.

We had an incredible 8 days at Casa Cavu ! The home was comfortable, clean, right on the ocean, and near to restaurants and downtown Tulum. The Grounds Keeper Jose and his wife Delfina were kind, attentive and wonderful. They kept us stocked with clean towels, necessities and even shared delicious home-made tamales with our family for a New Years surprise! The home, including the kitchen, was cleaned everyday! We used the pool and kayaks everyday and lounged on the comfy beach chairs to our hearts content. We walked just a short distance to several beautiful cenotes, snorkeled right off the dock by the house, and enjoyed breathtaking sunrises and sunsets every day! We highly recommend this property. If you are able and budget/time allow, we recommend having Jose and Delfina prepare a meal (or meals) for you and your family! You will not be disappointed - we enjoyed a truly special and decadent meal of BBQed authentic Mexican cuisine, sides, salads, and desserts.

It was so nice to host you. :) Thanks for staying with us and we hope to see you back in Akumal again soon.

The house was beautiful everything was very clean and the staff was amazing the only thing you should be aware of is the beach is not the best for swimming it’s very rocky

Thank you very much for your great feedback, Sam.  Helpful suggestions are always appreciated.  We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and we would love to welcome you back anytime. Until then, happy travels always! Akumal Direct

Wow!  We had an amazing experience at Casa Cavu, and an even better experience working with Akumal Direct!  They are a true one-stop shop.  I was really nervous about renting a car, and choosing a rental car company was giving me anxiety because most have bad reviews.  Akumal Direct helped us book a rental car from their trusted vendor partner, Quality Rental Car - they were fabulous, super responsive over both email and messaging, and met us at Tulum airport with our car.  We also used Akumal Direct’s concierge services to book two different tours.  Both tours were great and picked us up from the Airbnb on time.  Our whole trip was so smooth and delightful due to us finding this Airbnb hosted by Akumal Direct.  The actual home was gorgeous.  Huge, three stories, right on the beach, amazing large pool!  It was spotless clean, and the caretakers were so sweet.  Everyday while we were out and about, they came in and cleaned.  I can’t recommend Casa Cavu and Akumal Direct enough!

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

We loved our stay!! The hosts on site were phenomenal!

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

This house is just fabulous. Literally on the beach, beautiful sunrise. Clean & comfy, everything you could need (although no kettle). The pool is great, amazing to be able to swim or kayak to a coral reef - take your snorkelling gear. We found it hard to find - maybe someone should drop a pin on a  map? The house was a lot to rent (maybe that’s just us) and we were then asked to tip the housekeeper and groundsman 30 US dollars per guest per week - that’s a lot of extra! The whole area is expensive - we were paying £15 for a cocktail - London prices. Lots of excellent local recommendations from Rhett who manages the property, from towns to visit to restaurants worth paying for. Tulum itself was not for us. You can’t access the beach unless you pay extortionate rates to go through hotel or bar - all very boho, super cool nonsense. We loved Valladolid and Acumal (all recommended by Rhett). Would also recommend asking Isidra to cook for you - fabulous food!

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Cavu! The house is beautiful and spacious, with Mexican tile work throughout and an amazing upper deck that's perfect for watching the sunrise. The pool is bigger than expected and the house is literally steps from a private beach. Icidro (the groundskeeper and chef) and Rocio (the housekeeper) were a major part of what made our stay so wonderful. They kept the house and beach pristine (Icidro was out there every morning raking seaweed off the beach!) and they cooked a delicious meal for us while there. I'd highly recommend asking them to cook for you! There's also a cenote just a 3-minute walk down the road (Casa Cenote) and a few nearby restaurants (although most are pretty pricey). This was one of our favorite Airbnb's we've stayed at. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for your feedback, Sherri! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Casa Cavu.   We look forward to your return! Happy travels always, Akumal Direct

We loved our stay at Casa Cavu! The amenities were amazing. The chef, Isidro, was great. He and his wife were friendly and helpful. The location was perfect. We did rent a car to make getting around easier but Akumal Direct helped us with transportation and answered any questions we had. Do not sleep on this place! This was traveling made easy and we would 100% visit again!

We are so delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Casa Cavu and the attention of Icidro and Rocio.  It was lovely to host you, Julia.  We hope to see you back on Tankah Tres Beach again soon.   Happy travels always, Akumal Direct

Casa Cavu was awesome.  We were a family of 7 and the house was perfect for us.  Having the beautiful pool right there so close to the ocean made it great to go swim in the ocean and then hop in the pool to cool down.  The kayaks were a great.  We spent time using them and then snorkeling out away from shore.  The A/C worked great and made it comfortable on the inside.  Large kitchen with everything you need.  The onsite hosts were awesome.  The gentleman kept the beach spotless and pristine.  The kids loved his little dog.  Rhett stopped by and was great as well.  The little tienda just down the road is great as well when you are running out of drinks!  We stopped in Tulum and bought groceries and took them to the house and it worked perfectly.

Thank you so much for your feedback, Greg! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay, We look forward to hosting you again soon. Happy travels always! Akumal Direct

Lovely villa on the beach! Care takers were amazing and went above and beyond during our stay. Only negative was the condition of the beach. Lots of seaweed and rocks made it hard to swim.

Thanks so much for your feedback, Natasha! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! The caretakers do their best to maintain the beach as clean as possible during the summer months but it can get a bit overwhelming during some weeks. We hope your return to the area again to experience the house with a pristine beach out front! Happy travels! :)

Casa Cavu is beautiful and just as described in photos and property description! The house had absolutely our family of four needed for the week. We had little contact with Akumel Direct, but the property manager, Rhett stopped in Monday morning. He gave us some great information and was responsive when I later contacted him.  The caretaker and maid were who we had daily contact with and they were AMAZING! Rocio kept the home spotless and Isidro worked overtime keeping the beach free of sargassm which was plentiful.  We truly had the cleanest beach for as far as you could walk. He also keeps the property gardens gorgeous! The home is 10 minutes from Tulum to the south and 10 minutes to Akumul to the north.  We found lots to do and great restaurants within 20-30 minutes of the house. The best meals we had were prepared by Isidro. Coming home to a private beach and pool  in a quiet neighborhood were delightful! If we return to this region, we will definitely come back to Casa Cavu!

We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Casa Cavu and you are welcome back anytime :)

We really enjoyed our stay at the Beach House inTulum. The house was perfect for 4 adults. Icidro and Rocio, the house managers kept the house spotless. Icidro cooked an authentic Mexican meal twice during the week and both were absolutely delicious. We had a few groceries delivered and they were there when we arrived. There are several nice restaurants within walking distance but we had a car and were able to go into Tulum, visit the Mayan ruins, and swim in the cenote. But relaxing at the beach house was the best!

We have been to the area two times in the past 15 years. We always wanted to stay in a private home of the ocean. Wonderful to have two bedrooms on the main floor and a private bedroom suite on the upper level. Views from the upper level are amazing! Isodor and Rocio were excellent on site caretakers. There were several restaurants within a short walk. Superb set up for ocean front life with kayaks hammock beach chairs swimming and snorkeling. Long walks to the south with a never ending beach. Didn’t use the pool too much as it is pretty shaded and even though it was in the 80s. The housekeeping was every day and it was excellent. The linens were clean. Isodor did private cooking for us as a chef and a meals were amazing!!! Isodor also did a great job maintaining the beach and the pool area. Location is close to Tulum easy access activities there and not too far from playa Del Carmen and Cozumel for a day trip.

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

This is an absolutely beautiful place. Quiet. Beautiful beach. Nice caretakers.

Thanks for staying with us at Casa Cavu, Moitreyee. It was a pleasure to host your family. We hope to see you back in Mexico again soon. Happy travels always, Akumal Direct

The house was perfect and did not disappoint. Views were fabulous especially from the third floor patio. Snorkeling gear and swim shoes are well worth bringing as well as floats for the pool. One site property management was very tentative and available. Icidro and Rocio took great care of us and the house. They prepared 4 gourmet meals for us that I would highly recommended, even did the dishes. The entrance to the neighborhood was monitored by guards so security was not a concern. Taxi drivers were minutes away as well. There are a few hotel restaurants nearby that make great margaritas.

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

Thanks for your comment, Ricardo! It was a pleasure to host you. We hope to see you back at Casa Cavu soon. We appreciate you being such a nice guest. Happy travels always, Akumal Direct Reservations

They are lovely people.  It was a pleasure to host your family. We hope to see you again soon.  Happy holidays! Akumal Direct Reservations.

This place is fantastic. Isidro and his wife were the most gracious hosts. Isidro was a professional chef and cooked us two really special meals. They take care of the place and make sure everything you need is always at the ready. Beautiful pool, beach, and great location. You won't regret staying here!

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Casa Cavu, Eddie.  We appreciate your kind words about the staff.  They are always kind to our guests and go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay.  It was a pleasure to host you.  We hope to see you again soon.

Amazing location minus the rough road to get there. But the view easily surpasses every car ride. Absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting some R&R and a view to always remember. Looking forward to staying here on our next trip to Tulum!

Thank you for your kind words and recommendation.  We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay.  We appreciate you choosing Akumal as your vacation destination.  It would be a pleasure to welcome you back again soon.  Thanks for being a great guest!  Happy travels always.

Thanks for choosing Casa Cavu and Tankah Tres beach for your vacation, Arslan!  We appreciate your business and hope to host you again soon.  Thanks for being such a great guest!

Beautiful place, the house is very clean and the personal attention of the people in charge makes this Airbnb a magical place. I recommend hosting a dinner party with chef Isidro and his wife... you won't regret it. For us it was special to be able to enjoy the company and enjoy the attention of Mr. Isidro. To close with a golden broch, we witnessed the departure of turtle hides right in front of Cavu house. A magical place!! 100% recommended

Hermoso lugar, la casa muy limpia y la atención personal de las personas encargadas hace de este Airbnb un lugar mágico. Recomiendo que organicen una cena con el chef Isidro y su esposa... no se van a arrepentir. Para nosotros fue especial el poder disfrutar de la compañía y disfrutar de la atención de el señor Isidro. Para cerrar con broche de oro, fuimos testigos de la salida de el cascarón de unas tortugitas justo enfrente de la casa Cavu. Un lugar magico!! 100% Recomendable

Wow! Great house! Beach-front, and overall great space, from the front garden to pool and all amenities! We got some rainy days but it was easy to handle because we just opted to stay at home. We visited early Aug and we literally got a nightly visit by turtles; one evening, we saw the baby turtles heading to sea!

Thank you so much for staying with us, Ramon. We are so happy to hear you have enjoyed your stay at Casa Cavu and you got to see some baby turtles :) We hope you return soon. Safe travels, Akumal Direct Reservations

Location and very good service. For a family plan with children it is recommended. The cleanliness of casa cavu is also good.
