You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Serene and cozy beachfront villa on a white sandy beach, pool, AC and WiFi!

As you enter the property from the private gated garden area to the rear, you are greeted with a open floor plan living, dining, and kitchen looking straight out to the beach and ocean via an entire wall of full length sliding glass doors. This room allows fantastic views of the Caribbean sea. The living room is comfortably furnished and features a large flat screen TV with Satellite and DVD, plus stereo. There is dining space for 8 people with ocean views and a nice fully equipped kitchen with granite counter tops.

Also on the ground floor, there is a guest bedroom furnished with 2 single beds and adjoining guest bathroom. There are sliding doors leading straight out from this bedroom onto the private terrace and beach beyond.

Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms with king sized beds, plenty of closet space, nicely finished en suite bathrooms (ocean views from the shower!), and front and back terraces to give you both ocean and jungle views. There are sliding doors leading out to the ocean side terrace where you can relax on the cushioned seating and enjoy the view. This is also a lovely place to relax and watch the millions of stars in the Caribbean night sky.

In front of the villa is a shaded terrace, and a large private area of beach leading down towards the water. There are plenty of sun loungers, a shade palapa with sunken seating, and also a large outdoor dining table with seating for 8. Great for alfresco meals and beachfront cookouts!

To the rear of the villa, Serenity has ample off-street parking, and also a swimming pool.

Villa Serenity is also conveniently located within a short walk from the Grand Oasis all-inclusive resort and the Grand Bahia Principe resort where you can purchase day passes to use the resort facilities and entertainment. Bahia Principe Resort also has a shopping complex called Hacienda Dona Isabela which has gift shops, a bar, and an ATM machine. Villa Serenity is also a short walk from the new Riviera Maya Golf Course. Riviera Maya Golf Club is one of the most exciting golf courses here in the Riviera Maya. Spanning 223 acres and set within 717 acres of tropical rainforest, this course was designed by Robert Trent Jones II.

If you are looking for a beachfront vacation that is easy, comfortable, and relaxing then this is the perfect house for you! Villa Serenity is a wonderful choice for both families and friends.

Awesome place

This property was the perfect setup and location for our family of five. The kids loved the pool, the attractions near by were fun, the ocean gorgeous, location was safe and hosts were great. We definitely fell in love with the place and can’t wait to return.

Fantastic house and location

We’ve stayed in multiple homes in this small stretch of Akumal and this property is one of the best! Great experience in every way, from check in to daily interaction with the housekeeper, security, the beach, etc. We loved our time here and 100% recommend the property to anyone seeking to escape to a quiet little piece of paradise.

Wonderful week on the beach

Villa serenity for our family of 6 perfectly. Private beach with life jackets, sand toys, and kayaks. Rita was so helpful in housekeeping and made us a delicious meal. Alejandro was available via text to answer questions and was a great resource for answering questions and booking excursions. Wonderful place by the ocean, yet away from the big resort feel.

Relaxing Beach Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I brought my 89-year-old mom and godmother for a relaxing getaway. It was perfect! The beach and home privacy were just as we’d hoped. The service was attentive, kind and very friendly. The home was spacious and comfortable. We’ll be back!

This may have been an amazing property 25 years ago, but now for sure showing a lack of maintenance and up keep. Rusted out or broken ceiling fans no washer/dryer for a house that holds 6 adults. A kitchen with only a toaster oven. (But, please note that Rita the housekeeper was amazing and the home was cleaned every day with fresh towels and linens.)Please note that the “private” pool is shared by the 4 villas, and we had to move lounge chairs from the beach to the pool as there was no where to sit. If you are not comfortable renting a car, then this for sure is not a property for you. All properties in Mexico have some sort of security, but this was our first experience having a guard sit on our beach chairs from sunset to sunrise.Was staying on the beach amazing, it was, but it was no where near the an offset to what we expected for a 2700 one week stay. This last comment is not about the property, but something that all travelers considering the Quinta Roo area (Cancun and south) is Sargassum aka very tiny seaweeds that ends up in huge piles on the beach that rots and skinks like garbage on a hot from April to October. We had to deal with it in Playa del Carmen in June 2024 and this trip as well. It complete covers the coast line and there is no escaping the smell.

Great!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Villa Serenity is great. The property was really clean, well appointed and well worked well. Having a daily cleaning service was really nice. The villa is right on the nicest stretch of beach in the area which is also pretty quiet and felt very safe. The pool is heated which is a bonus and a really nice option to have. You do really need a car to stay here as it's a little way out from any restaurants and supermarkets etc. Nearest restaurants are about 10 mins drive, although there is a beach bar 100yds away! The road to get to the villa from the main road could use some maintenance but we were fine in a small car. Akumal Direct were great to deal with, good communication and information provided before arrival etc. Hopefully we'll be back in future!

Akumal & Scuba Diving Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fantastic vacation rental and well worth it. Nothing beats being able to step right outside the back porch right onto a groomed and clean beach front. Overall accommodations were great, Rita was consistent with cleaning and doing laundry (she even did the dishes)! Ramon, the night security guard sometimes scared us walking up to the house at night via the beach, but it was great knowing we were being looked out for. Ely was there to greet us when we arrived and made himself available for any needs, which we wound up not needing him considering the great care property amenities. The A/C was spot on and made a huge difference! Definitely recommend this place and the bikini bar just a few houses down the beach was very convenient.

Absolutely Wonderful!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo more than met my expectations! Everything worked- the fridge, water purifier, coffee machine, microwave, oven ! And best of all the AC- in all bedrooms and main area. Very nice caretaker Ellie and housekeeper Rita. There a few floats, fins and life jackets also. Bring your own snorkel and mask.It is just steps to the beach. We didn’t use the pool in the back but it looked clean.We used the purified water provided and were fine. I highly recommend getting groceries delivered from riviera Maya as the nearest store is 20 minutes away.

Lovely beachfront property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is in a quiet part of the small community. Open the back doors and you step right on the beach. You can snorkel directly out to a mini reef and easily see some tropical fish, including angel fish, damsels, and flounders. We came during low season so some of the bedrooms smelled a little stale when we first arrived (likely from the house being shut up) but keeping the doors open solved that problem. It wasn’t spotless but it’s a beach front property so that’s hard to do. The kitchen is decently set up. Water pressure is great. The house comes with filtered drinking water, which was nice to find. The hosts out back were wonderful, super helpful. There is a restaurant a few houses down on the beach we could walk to for some meals and take out that worked out well for us. Just a note, the back patio is quite slippery when you first step out of the outdoor shower. The older people in our group struggled with this.

Wonderful Beach House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time at this spot. Best stretch of beach and a quiet neighborhood. The pool was very nice and warm - kitchen was well stocked and beds were very comfortable. The staff did a wonderful job of keeping the house clean and helped with anything we needed. Great area to stay in - close to all the local attractions while being away from the craziness of the larger towns in the area. Our favorite day trips were Cenote Azul, Yal-ku Lagoon - just make sure you go the old entrance. We also had a great dinner at La Buena Vida and a good lunch at Lol-Ha Restaurant. We did do a day trip to the ruins in Tulum - the ruins were interesting and in a beautiful spot but be aware of the amount of haggling you will need to do to park and get tickets. Also if you want to do a day trip to Tulum to see the beach etc. we found that you need pay lots of $$$ to get a spot at one of the beach clubs to even see the water. The little bar/retaurant two doors down from the house - Bikini Bar is a great little spots for drinks. We would definite recommend this house and would stay here again.

Akumal November Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall our experience was good but we felt some things weren't as advertised and need attention. The best part of this property is the beach, hands down. Also, Eli and Rita are wonderful and took great care of us all. Things that were disappointing: No bedside lamp of any kind in the downstairs bedroom (We needed Eli to find us a lamp so we werent stuck with the single overhead fan lamp shining from above while trying to relax. The cement couches arent very comfortable and dont accommodate more than 2 or 3 people at a time. The stove requires a lighter to ignite. The toaster oven control/lettering are all worn off making it confusing to use. The refrigerator/freezer quits cooling, randomly, risking lots of food and safety. The pool is clean and refreshing but there are only TWO chaise's available and they had lots of bird droppings on them that was cleaned off despite asking. Definitely not enough seating for 6 people. The road into the condo from the highway is in horrible condition. Last, the pictures used in the listing must be fairly dated as the property doesnt look much like them. We did enjoy being able to run down to Tulum or up to Play del Carmen. We loved being able to walk down the beach to the beachside restaurants. The kayaks were a nice touch as was the well groomed beach. We enjoyed our stay but wish some things, as above, were in better condition and more comfortable.

Fantastic spot, terrible time of year

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful spot, rental. We had the misfortune of booking in July when there was the worst Sargassum Sea grass accumulation in history. So the rotten egg smell pervaded everything, and we could not use the beach or swim in the ocean. It would be fantastic when there isn't a sea grass infestation.

Beautiful relaxing property!!

We had amazing stay at the Villa Serenity. The owners have been very attentive to details. We loved having the housekeeping. It allowed us to really relax and enjoy. We felt very safe with the security that was provided. The gardener kept the grounds and beach beautiful. We loved the private pool... We used it much more than I thought we would. We hope to return again!!
