Akumal Villa, Steps to Yal Ku Lagoon Half Moon Bay - Villas for Rent in Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico

Staying at Cherri's place was wonderful! We received detailed directions and recommendations in advance. We were welcomed by Prudy, Cherri's housekeeper, who prepared a delicious dinner for us on our first day of travel - per our request and at an extra charge. Prudy was one of the best surprises during our stay! She was there every day to clean and refresh items. Alberto was also wonderful and came by every morning. The house is clean, spacious and comfortable. Cherri added lots of comforts that we appreciated: high speed internet, smart TV, blue tooth speakers, zoned AC, lots of ceiling fans, lots of bathrooms! We made good use of the kitchen. There is not a dishwasher. We spent most mornings having coffee by the pool. The grounds are beautiful and private. The pool isn't heated, so a bit chilly this time of year. The house is not directly on the beach, but you can get to it quickly. There are great restaurants that are walkable. We highly recommend Cherri's place and Akumal!

Unreservedly this was the finest rental property I have experienced.

We had a wonderful time at Villa Josefina. There were seven of us (5 adults, 2 kids) and it was out first time to Akumal. Cherri was responsive, the house is spacious and beautiful, and North Akumal is peaceful while still having several excellent restaurants. I highly recommend.

We’ve stayed in Alumal twice now and this is by far the nicest place we’ve ever stayed. We love the house and the location. We enjoyed everything about the place and would definitely book it again in a heartbeat. The staff at the home were excellent, and the communication from the host was superb.

We felt right at home! Our group included family from 80 yrs old to 2 yrs old. Cherri provided a crib and high chair for our youngest. Prudi, the housekeeper, patiently and positively kept the house in order around all of our commotion. Roberto quickly addressed an issue with the air conditioner as well. We had a great trip!!!

Cherri's place (Villa Josefina) is a true gem. We had the vacation of our lives with a private pool, space for adults traveling with 3 children (ages 9, 10, & 12), a magical cenote less than a block away (one of the best open cenotes I've even been to) with many many others a short drive away, an adorable town close by with beaches, dynamite restaurants, terrific shopping (including artisan crafts and markets), extraordinary wildlife everywhere, and endless areas to explore. Cherri was incredible to work with; meeting all of our needs effortlessly. The property staff was beyond helpful, friendly, and accommodating. This is a place we highly recommend if you are looking for an adventure beyond what any expectations could ever fabricate; the reality of our experience was truly more perfect than my silliest dreams.

This house is by far the best place we have ever stayed. It’s gorgeous, quiet, spacious, and clean. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking, the pool is amazing, and we loved the location. Cheri was extremely helpful and communicative, which made our trip stress-free. Book this house immediately!

The home was even better than then the description. Cherri was a great host and responded to any questions quickly Prudi the housekeeper was there to greet us when we arrived and explained everything to us so ck in was very easy. Prudi was also a big help when we were making plans for activities we were wanting to do. We rented a couple golf carts and it made it real easy to get to all the stores, restaurants and the beach. The pool was great and looked beautiful lit up at night. There were 8 adults there and everyone was very comfortable and were all discussing a return trip. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone and I’m hoping to be able to return there myself.

We had a great stay at Cherri’s place - great communication from Cherri up until arrival and Prudi was incredibly helpful!

everything was excellent the house, the pool, how they welcomed us, the cleanliness, the comfort, everyone was very attentive, the only thing I would leave as an observation is that the house is one block away from the lagoon and the sea, although it is super well located it is not attached to the lagoon or the sea, but access is very easy and literal access is a 5-minute walk away... thank you for hosting us

todo estuvo excelente la casa, la piscina, cómo nos recibieron, la limpieza, la comodidad, todos fueron muy atentos, lo único que yo dejaría como observacion es que la casa está a una cuadra de la laguna y del mar, aunque está súper bien situada no está pegada a la laguna o al mar, pero el acceso es muy fácil y literal está a 5 minutos caminando... gracias por recibirnos

Cherri was a wonderful host and incredibly helpful. I will definitely come back!

Cherri’s house was a great space for us (two families with children). It is near to an incredible salt water lagoon where the snorkeling is amazing. Cherri herself was very kind in helping us through a strange technical problem related to Airbnb. Prudi, the woman who cleans and helps to manage Cherri’s home is a gem of a woman, and was very kind and helpful for both our families as well.

The house is beautiful and has everything you need for a perfect vacation in Akumal. Prudi is super sweet and did a really outstanding work. The house was always clean and maintained. The pool is very large and great for relaxing. The location is also optimal. You are a little outside of the expensive and heavily visited tourist zones such as Tulum,  Cancun and Playa del Carmen. By car, you are on the highway within 10 minutes and from there you hardly need more than 20-30 minutes to all attractions. Cherri was super helpful, responded quickly and we felt in good hands at all times. Thank you for our super nice holiday :)

Das Haus ist wunderschön und hat alles was man für einen perfekten Urlaub in Akumal braucht. Prudi ist super lieb und hat wirklich herrausragende Arbeit geleistet. Das Haus war immer sauber und gepflegt. Der Pool ist sehr groß und super zum entspannen. Die Lage ist auch optimal. Man ist etwas auserhalb der teuren und stark besuchten Touristenzonen wie Tulum,  Cancun und Playa del Carmen. Mit dem Auto ist man innerhalb von 10min auf dem Highway und von aus dort braucht man kaum länger als 20-30min zu sämtlichen Attraktionen. Cherri war super hilfsbereit, hat schnell geantwortet und wir haben uns jederzeit gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Vielen vielen Dank für unseren super schönen Urlaub :)

what a great place to Stat, especially for a big group.  The public beach is only a 5 minute walk.  The neighborhood is great. Everything you need is right there!

The house is just as described. Spacious, comfortable and clean. The team is welcoming, friendly and oh so helpful. Lagoon tickets are available for purchase at the house making it even more convenient for the best snorkeling around. Can't wait to come again.

Great personality and reply’s back quickly.

Akumal is beautiful and central; home was lovely & comfortably accommodated my family of 8. The property caretakers were very kind, attentive and accommodating.

thank you for renting your beautiful home to us. this home had everything for us to stay and relax or do something at beach or lagoon or restaurant that are so close-by .. house is very well taken care! perfect communication and information on what to do nearby.

Cherri was very quick to respond to questions and helped with a few special arrangements. Walking distance to the lagoon and beach. Great location.

Beautiful house, spacious and well equipped, it would just miss a bigger outdoor table (only a small round table for 4 people). The rooms are large. The house is well located in a residential area in Akumal beach. Close to the beach. We had a nice stay with the family with children. Akumal is nice location for visiting the surroundings. The only downside: the house next door was under construction so we had noise in the morning.

Belle maison, spacieuse et bien équipée, il manquerait juste une plus grande table extérieure (seulement une petite table ronde pour 4 personnes). Les chambres sont grandes. La maison est bien située dans un quartier résidentiel à Akumal plage. Proche de la plage. Nous avons passé un bon séjour en famille avec des enfants. Akumal est bien situé pour visiter les alentours. Seul bémol: la maison juste à côté était en travaux nous avions donc du bruit dès le matin.

Great place to stay in group.  The terrace is very confortable with the outside kitchen and the pool.  The rooms are great and you will have anything that you need.  For sure it seems like home.

Beautiful house, literally steps away from Yalku Lagoon.  The pool was awesome, my kids had a blast!  The bikes were great as well, thanks again!

We had an excellent time at Villa Josefina (and casita Sofia)!!! The location is great, the property is super comfortable and the kitchen is extremely well equipped (if you care to cook). There are a couple of nice restaurants in walking distance, an amazing lagoon for snorkelling just few steps away and overall many things to do and see all within 30min drive time. Thanks for receiving us Cherri. And also special thanks to Prudi!! She is a rockstar housekeeper and very good cook!

The house and property were exactly like the pictures. It was clean, well stocked, and the pool area was amazing! The staff was responsive and helpful- we locked ourselves out one day and within 10 minutes they were able to let us back in. We really enjoyed the community and the area. No complaints!

Such a beautiful place recommend it 100%!!!

I literally have no complaints. House was clean and in great condition. They have everything you may need especially in the kitchen. The staff are very helpful and attentive. They will come and clean up the place if you want to. The place is in a nice and quite and safe location. It's few minutes walk from Yalku lagoon. If you are looking for anything specifically, Cherri and Prudi are very helpful. Cherri is very easy to work with. She has a sweet and empathetic personality.

Villa Josefina is absolutely amazing! Cherri has thought of every last detail to make sure guests are comfortable and enjoy their stay.  Response time is exceptional, as is the staff on site.  My family and I truly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend  Villa Josefina if you plan on visiting Akumal!

Cherri's house was perfect for our girlfriend group's 50th birthday celebration.  The house is in a great location, the lagoon around the corner is fantastic!  The bikes were such a nice touch, we rode bikes all over town.  Any needs or questions we had were taken care of right away.  We felt very safe and comfortable here.  The space was very clean and  modern, beyond our expectations!   We would definitely return to Cherri's place again when visiting Akumal.

Hi Kim, I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at Villa Josefina and we are honored that you chose to spend your 50th birthday at our place. We hope you return again soon! my best, Cherri

An amazing home that exceeded our expectations filled with every amenity and extremely well situated for beach and snorkeling activities.  We will definitely return!

The house was beautiful! It was private, yet close enough to walk or bicycle to the shops, water and restaurants. The pool was great! There were 6 adults in our group and we had more than enough room. There were bikes for all us to use, which so convenient. Although we had issues with a couple bikes, Prudi was more than happy to replace them. Cherri is a wonderful host. She is very quick to respond and very helpful in answering our questions while planning the trip and during our stay. Prudi and Eddy were very helpful and kind, too! Prudi made a cake for us to celebrate a birthday. It was carrot and very delicious! She charged us a very reasonable price! We definitely recommend this place! Also, the area was very safe and we never felt uneasy or afraid.

Dream house.Veritable oasis in the tumult of the Mayy coast. A lot of taste and class!Ensuring the best place in the area 

Maison de rêve.Veritable oasis dans le tumulte de la côte maya.Beaucoup de goût et de classe!Assurement le meilleur endroit de la région 

This is a great property to stay in and the added bonus of four free bikes to use is really helpful if you don't want to hire a car. Everything was as promised and the pool is beautifully looked after. There is a cleaner who comes daily but we actually asked her to come less frequently - it meant the house was permanently clean. The air-conditioning was effective and the house was well-stocked so we were happy! The host was very responsive and informative about the area and tips on whether to hire a car etc so I felt very confident before we arrived and wasn't disappointed.

Thank you Luciano, it was such a pleasure to have you stay. The staff commented on how nice you were. We hope you come back to visit Villa Josefina again soon!!! You are welcome any time.

I can't say enough good things about Cherri's house. It is beautiful and comfortable. The pool and the outdoor shower are amazing. Cherri was extremely accessible and helpful, even making us a dinner reservation when we arrived exhausted and much later than expected. The snorkeling at Yal-ku - literally two minutes from the house - was great. Amazing location.

We enjoyed a long week at Villa Josefina.  The secluded and tranquil outdoor space with large pool, waterfall, and sparkling new outdoor kitchen was our favorite hangout.  The house is updated with modern touches and we found everything in the kitchen we needed to cook or BBQ or make our happy hour specialties when we were not dining at the local restaurants.  The house is just around the corner from Yal Ku lagoon and a short walk to beaches on Half Moon Bay.  We rode the provided bikes into Akumal to beach and snorkeling spots, restaurants and dive shop.  The staff kept the property in tip top condition.  Cherri is very responsive and answered our every inquiry immediately.

Villa Josefina is definitely a great find in Akumal!   The house is beautiful, and very well provisioned.  The pool is incredible, and the neighborhood seemed to be relatively quiet and serene.  We felt very safe and enjoyed all that the house had to offer!   I think that the value of the rental is outstanding, given what other properties rent for in Akumal.  The trade-off for lack of ocean view for the reduced rent is worth it for this house.  Loved the cruiser bikes, which were included.

Please thank Wendy for her stunning photos of Villa Josefina!! She is a true artist. We hope you visit us again soon. Thanks! Cherri
