3BR villa in Tulum

Gorgeous Oceanfront Villa w/ Private Pool & Dock - Villas for Rent in Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico

Beautiful place,  well stocked kitchen,  Marcos and Lydia were amazing.  Beach was raked daily everything was kept up we did several meals and she is a great cook.  Couple things to note for us is the sargassum is very limited from its location in the bay.  There is some but we visited other places literally ten houses away across the bay and it was four feet deep as it was in Tulum.  I know it is seasonal but this location is good to avoid it all together. Great place felt comfortable and relaxing.  Titles do come up on the beach at night we got to see two of them.

Our stay was amazing. The home is beautiful, the access to the water can’t be beat, and the service was all top notch. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful visit. They made us feel so welcomed. Leydi prepared delicious meals for us. Marcos was very attentive. We had massages one day on the pier and another day we had a yoga class. We barely left the property because it offered everything. Bring water shoes for swimming.

This house exceeded expectations. This home has been lovingly maintained and is expansive and luxurious with 3 very large master suites with amazing views, a private dock with palapa, large roof plunge pool and dining area. Marco and Leydi are kind and responsive we had them make two dinners and 3 breakfasts which were delicious and such a bargain. The house was well equipped with tons of snorkel equipment, life vests, SUPs, kayaks, games and some beach toys. The reefs in the cove had rays, octopus, eel, many fish, urchins and more. This is a heavenly spot.

In a word this place was perfect.  Beautiful house, in a beautiful setting. The house is 30ft from the water with gorgeous views from every room. The dock allowed easy access to the water & great snorkeling just off the dock.  The area is a coral reef so pack your swim shoes because you don't want to miss getting out in the water & seeing the amazing sea life.  I would highly recommend have at least a meal or two cooked by Leydi as everything she made us was delicious.  Leydi & Marcos kept the house & grounds immaculately clean throughout our stay & were very responsive to anything we needed.  The views from the rooftop pool were amazing. If you are looking for a quiet & serene space this is definitely the house for you.  This was the most private & relaxing vacation my family has ever had.  Next time we find ourselves back in Tulum we will be staying here!

Me and my friends had a great time here! It was like being in our own resort, and the staff made it even better. Would highly recommend and would definitely come again!

Absolutely stunning and the best location on Tunkah Bay. It was our own beautiful and exclusive resort! Having Marco and Leydi onsite who lovingly and meticulously care for the home made it that much more enjoyable as they met every need without delay. The food they prepared was fresh and delicious which created a very special experience! The area from my last visit eight years ago is developing quite rapidly, so the construction was disappointing as I’m afraid this beautiful gem will one day explode and become too commercialized. The new airport in Tulum is beautiful with easy one road access passing the downtown area and on the way to the home. The Cenotes are still pristine and a wonder to be seen. We’ve established a relationship over the past decade with Victor Rosado from KOOX diving and as always he provided a world class experience for all and getting our friend scuba certified. I would highly recommend this home and the wonder Tulum beholds! I would absolutely retur

This was like staying in our own private resort.  The beach area was the most versatile and enjoyable of any home we e stayed in. Tons of different seating configurations, and additional snorkeling and kayaking gear. . And of course, laying in the hammocks on the extended dock was heavenly.  The inside  of the home worked very well for us. Nice seating in the living room and kitchen with amazing views of the water.  Beds were comfortable, toilets and showers did their jobs. Plus roof top pool was a great treat.  Finally the staff Marcos and his wife, were very kind and helpful if we needed something.  And Marcel was excellent with communication.  Aside from the very bumpy road leasing to the home (around 5 minutes of grief, but not unusual in areas like  this) this was a perfect, relaxing base for seeing the Tulum area. (Note, it is much better to have your own car as the home is around 20/30 minutes drive to downtown Tulum.

Marcel’s house is beautiful. He was very responsive to any questions we had prior to our stay. The property is just as described. We landed in Tulum, rented a car and found the house easily. Marcos greeted us at the end of the driveway and showed us around. Marcos had gotten the groceries that we had requested prior to our arrival. Marcos and Leydi keep it spotless. Leydi’s cooking is great The outdoor space is fantastic. Plenty of seating. The dock is so relaxing. The house has paddle boards, kayaks, life jackets. Water is crystal clear. We paddled over to casa cenote one afternoon for a delicious margarita. Our family of 5 felt safe and cared for!

We stayed in the home with our three teenage children. The home provided everything we were looking for in a vacation. It was private and serene, but also very safe. As a mom, knowing it is safe was extremely important to me. i never once felt unsafe. Every day we snorkeled right off the dock-all over the bay. There was always something to do for everyone. It was magical. Due to high winds, over maybe a 6 day period, the power went out in the neighborhood many times. The night we checked in, it went out for the entire night. Our host made sure we were safe and secure and made the best of it for us with candles, fans etc. There is a generator they use but the air conditioning is unable to run on it. Just be aware that even at this price point, things happen and nothing is fixed super fast in mexico. Although losing power was an inconvenience, the host handled it well and it didn't decrease our enjoyment of the property. I would book the house again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful location, Marcos was there to greet and take care of us from the moment we drove in and helped make our stay absolutely perfect.

Marcel was an excellent host and extremely responsive. it was so great to have the caretaker couple available to cook two excellent homestyle Mexican dinners and they kept the home spotless while we were there. the beachfront seating area is great with lots of shade as needed. having the private pier made the place especially nice - being able to swim and snorkel without climbing over rocks was perfect and a great breeze on the dock. it was also super quiet without noise or music. a few nearby restaurants were fine too. we all felt the home was priced right and was completely relaxing.

We had a fantastic time at this home. It's even better than the photos. The views and dock were my favorite part. The water is crystal clear. The snorkeling was top notch, we saw such a variety of aquatic life. The coolest being big, graceful stingrays. The outdoor space is comfortable and peaceful. Swinging in the hammock and listening to the waves crash could be a soundtrack. We opted to have Leydi prepare most of our meals and I'm grateful we did, her food is delicious. The Rellenos were my favorite. Marcos was wonderful too and helped whenever we needed him to; arranging cab rides and even getting us more groceries/alcohol when needed. Myself and our four other guests were blown away by this place. It's 100% worth the money. Thank you Marcel for sharing your home with us.

What a wonderful home situated in a gated, private community. The description is exactly as stated.  We loved our private dock for morning relaxation and evening star watching.  And all the pretty fish under the dock.  We had delicious breakfasts prepared everyday.   I highly recommend this home for it’s quiet location and beautiful surroundings

Marcos and Leydi were awesome hosts and the meals were fantastic! The dock and lagoon around the house were beautiful and great for snorkeling and paddle boarding. The house was beautiful and everything was maintained and working perfectly.

The villa was beautiful and it has one of the best waterfront spots in the Tankah Bay area! Marco and Leydi were incredibly attentive, went above and beyond, and made us feel at home. We opted for the breakfast and dinners and they were delicious! We had some of the best guacamole everyday along with our meals. We used some of the private transportation options recommended as well as Taxis and had no issues exploring Tulum. The road leading up to the private neighborhood and to the villa is not paved and can be a bumpy ride. Personally, it was not an issue for me and did not detract from experience; plan for a little bit of slower drive in that section. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a private villa experience.

This was honestly one of the best airbnbs I have ever stayed in. I have traveled all over the world - been to over 50 countries and I have never stayed at a place with a better view, beautiful home and or felt so safe. Marcel and his team are world class and if I could give this team 100 stars, I would. Book this house, it is worth every single penny. Thank you Marcel for all of your communication, my family and I are so grateful 💗

Marcel, you have a beautiful vacation home and even better caretakers! Marcos was waiting for us as we arrived, walked us though your beautiful property and helped with any questions we had. Leydie is an excellent cook, we loved her Pico and guacamole so much we had her make it everyday! We only left the property to go check out some Cenotes and a beach club on another morning. The house is set up and so relaxing we just hung out at the dock and in the bay, soaking up the surroundings. We wanted a massage, so Marcos suggested and delivered. Pablo's Massage came to the house with his staff and the were great. Thank you for renting to us, would love to return in the near future! - Sincerely, Ned & Amy

This location was beautiful! The dock was amazing to have since we were here during a very stormy time. The heated pool on the roof was extra great to enjoy while it was raining. The only issues we had was: 1. the power was very inconsistent which led to the AC unit in the master bathroom beeping all night which caused me (a very light sleeper) to have to sleep downstairs one night. 2. The plumbing to the master bathroom was very slow to drain, I would recommend the downstairs bathroom for anything major! 3. It would be very nice to know the total food bill before arriving so that we could know how much cash to bring. Other than those three things, this place is amazing and worth every peso! Marcos and Lydi were both great and the food was delicious for every meal! I’m still missing those breakfasts!

Casa Caribbean Soul is a beautiful villa on a private bay on the Caribbean, towards the end of a private road in an up-and-coming neighborhood; surrounded by jungles and water, you will find serenity in the plunge pool on the roof, or swinging in the hammock at the end of the pier, listening to the water splash against the shore. This house and location are stunning, and if you’re willing to be a little outside of town, down a long dirt road, this villa will not disappoint. We had a group of six that was very comfortable in the triple en-suite masters, with two half baths for convenience, high ceilings, and gorgeous views. Leydi and Marcos greeted us with warm welcomes and a wonderful meal, and were so helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. Each room has its own A/C unit and ceiling fan, making things very comfortable, and also has its own theme. We stayed in the blue room and enjoyed the lovely colors and views, the balcony, and of course LOVED the roof pool.

Unfortunately I will never rent to Fraidy again as he said it was for him but in turn he was a hosting agent for a group of people that had no respect for my house, my neighbors or my staff.

This is the only place we will stay at anytime we come to Tulum. 15/10 rating. Could not ask for a better house to make memories.

This airbnb was a perfect place to stay at for our family Mexico Trip. The easy access to the beautiful backyard beach greatly enhanced the experience, especially the dock. The housekeepers Marcos and Leydie were also very helpful as well as amazing cooks. The rooftop pool was a fantastic addition to the house. We would highly recommend anyone who wants to stay in the Tulum area to consider this AirBNB.

We paid top dollar for privacy, cleanliness, and most importantly safety. This place was worth every penny. We LOVED their workers Marcos and Leydi, they are so so friendly and inviting, very helpful, and very accommodating. They live in the casita on the property but are very respectful of our privacy. Mr. Marcel kept the beach immaculate for us by raking the sand every morning and caring for the outdoor furniture covers etc. for us. Mrs. Leydi is an outstanding cook and we were so happy to have her cook for us. The home is exactly like the listing which we loved! It was a very charming place to stay. If you’re planning excursions or outings, we recommend renting a car instead of using taxis for everything because half the money we spent on this trip was taxi fares alone! We would absolutely recommend this villa to anyone.

Marcel was a exceptional host, welcoming us with warmth and ensuring our stay was comfortable from start to finish. The house is stunning, beautifully decorated and well maintained. Leidy and Marcos were really attentive and helping us with whatever we needed as well as keeping the house spotless.

Thank you very much for letting us stay in your home! It was very beautiful 😍 Marcos & Leydi were amazing and we appreciate everything they did for us🫶🏼 food was so good and hospitality was even better! Luis was also very helpful and kind… we had a great experience Thankyou to everyone 🥰🥰

Casa Caribbean Soul was absolutely amazing. We had a private wedding ceremony on the dock and couldn’t have been more perfect. The house was exactly as described. Marcos took care of us. He prepared the property every day and was very attentive to our needs. His wife, Leydie, cooked for us a number of times. Her cooking was restaurant quality and we highly recommend it. There are intermittent power issues but it didn’t bother us. Each room has an air conditioner and coils down quickly. The private dock and private beach were amazing. This was by far the best property in the private neighborhood. We highly recommend this property.

This place was absolutely amazing, I am trying to find the words to describe our stay. We were blessed with Marcos and his wife that are the property like angels making food and cleaning up. Images you rented an entire resort and you have a private hot tub on the roof, and amazing dock that has stairs to the water and the house have every snorkel, kayak, floaty accessorie you could ask for. Great water pressure, bidets on the toilets and the entire experience was bliss to my family and I we really needed the get away. Don't waste your time or money at a resort,  stay here at Casa Caribbean Soul instead.

This place is incredible. We had the best week and everything was absolutely perfect. The dock made our trip, our kids fished off it all day, everyday and we lounged in the hammocks right with them. There was so much to do from sun up to sun down with so much privacy. Marcos and Lady took care of everything, including cooking us and serving us the most incredible meals. 10/10 all around perfect. I felt so relaxed and at home and cannot wait to come back. We are a big family of 6 and fit perfectly. Every room had a king sized bed that was so comfortable. Perfect holiday, thank you marcel for sharing your piece of paradise.

Marcel‘s house in a private gated community, right outside of Tulum was absolutely peaceful and serene. The House Manager , who lives in a Casita on the property, Marcos and his wife Lediwere incredibly sweet & accommodating. Ledi is also a cook & prepared 2 meals a day for our family Which we thoroughly enjoyed. The surrounding neighborhood were all beautiful homes… There is a lack of restaurant options that we notice. We enjoyed having Ledi cook for us instead. The taxis are extremely expensive in Tulum, so a day trip to Tulum round-trip would cost about $160.  we just preferred, as a family of4, to stay on the property. The ocean, lagoon was absolutely beautiful. The dock, and the sun deck area was our favorite spot. They had kayaks, paddle boards, & snorkeling gear that our kids absolutely loved using. the only little issue we had that was resolved fairly quickly. Was we lost power one night and the AC room units turned off. However, Marcos, fix the AC. We loved it here!!

The place was more beautiful than the pictures. Everything is well thought out and the attention to detail was top notch. Leydi made us amazing meals, they shopped and stocked the fridge for us before arrival, and Marcos and Leydi kept the place in perfect order. We loved every second and would be back in a heart beat.

This place was amazing! Best house in Tulúm! This was the best kept house in the region from what we saw with the best kept and sandy beach. The deck was a game changer. Marcel was super responsive. Marcos and Ledyi made the trip. They made delicious home cooked, authentic meals and were incredibly attentive. Marcos takes the beach every day, took care of the grounds and always had a smile on his face. They made the trip and set this airbnb above the competition. Only downside was that we experienced some authentic Mexican experiences with a 24 hour stretch of no power and 2 scorpions that Marcos swiftly took care of but those were minor. Would 10/10 stay here again.

Great find! We loved the property - looks even better in real life. We ate three delicious home cooked meals that Marco and Leydi prepared and they were better than most of the restaurants we visited. We loved that each room had its own air conditioning so we could each choose our comfort level. We swam off the dock, relaxed in the loungers and hammocks, and loved the jetted rooftop plunge pool with cool lighting at night. Really close to Tulum, and only about 40 minutes from the XCaret parks. We will definitely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property is beautiful, so many areas to sit, relax and enjoy the beach. We absolutely loved the dock! It was so private, we felt spoiled to have it all to ourselves. We loved the hammocks and the ease of getting in the water for snorkeling. The beach was always pristine and raked every morning and the chairs all set up, we felt very pampered. Marcos was always around if we needed anything. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. It was really nice to have fresh water in the bathrooms and on each level of the house. Most days we just stayed at the house since it was so comfortable, had great snorkeling and we could paddle board & kayak whenever we wanted. We would highly recommend this property.

Stunning. The dock is everything. Marcos (the on-site caretaker) was super helpful and available, but not annoying at all. The location is wonderful, quiet, peaceful, and beautiful!

It was beautiful house. Very peaceful and the private beach and dock were amazing. Very private and quiet perfect for anyone looking for a get away to relax
