Amazing snorkeling right in front of the house! You have your own aquarium! Nice kayaks! AND RITA WAS AMAZING AND TOOK EXCELLRNT CARE OF US!

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.

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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Villa Serenity for 10 days and found the property very comfortable and appropriate for our needs. The caretakers, Elias and Rita, were terrific, answering any questions and did a great job. The most exciting part of the vacation were the giant loggerhead sea turtles who were nesting in the backyard. According to the volunteers (we called them the Madres de Tortugas) the turtles laying their eggs were the same turtles hatched in the same area 20 years ago! The only downside was the Sargasso Grass on the beach, which made it hard to use the beach because flies were quite thick and the smell was strong. We used the pool instead and went to several cenotes in the area. A bit sad to get a house on the beach and not be able to use the beach, but that is the fault of Global Warming and not the house. The turtles made it exciting though! We saw tracks almost every day and had two nighttime sightings! Akumal has a nice tourist plaza that had some lovely restaurant's. We ate at Turtle Bay Cafe and Bakery twice. Food was terrific, Ruby served us both times and was equally delightful! There's also a fabulous seafood restaurant in the same plaza. All in all, a lovely vacation.

Lovely staff and owners. Sargassum was a disappointment but you can’t predict that. Little ants wanted to be in food so put everything in containers! Beds were comfortable, pool adequate. View was outstanding. Secure and safe.

My kids first time out of the country! It’s a beautiful place! So happy we booked a place ON the beach! Unfortunately the seaweed was extremely bad!! There was no way to enjoy the beach at all & the smell was strong-couldn’t stand to have the windows open to enjoy the ocean waves. Pool is shared.There wasn’t really any instructions provided on checkin/checkout procedures like I have had at other rentals. We weren’t aware the AC had a ‘remote’ to control the settings. So the first night it was humid! I contacted the property manager and they came to look at our AC. We got it working on our own & then later realized you needed to POINT the remote at the AC unit. I think this was just a communication issue (& me being ignorant to this type of AC.Our groceries we had preordered to be at our rental didn’t arrive until after we were already there. I thought they would be there when we arrived but I had assumed & didn’t ask directly when I had ordered. We ended up walking over to the Beach Bikini Bar & ate. Very good food! It seemed like there was only 1 waitress/bartender working it & she was kind. My family & I had arranged to rent paddle boards-thankful I cancelled once I saw the seaweed. It would have been nice to have known about the seaweed & not be sold on.We had a great time with non-beach activities: private fishing, Akumal Natura Rescue, PRIVATE tour: ruins, turtles & cenote; eating in Akumal. Best food ever! Way better than Bahai Príncipe resort food!

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!

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.

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!

Our family (my husband & I with our 3 teens) don’t a week in Akumal in July 2024 and loved it! We’d definitely return to this home and to Akumal. Pros: Good ac - cold and all over the home Books available - nice touch, my son read 3 that were provided Towels/linens - luxurious & plentiful Showers - roomy with great water pressure Purified water available Ely & Rita - made the stay so comfortable by keeping both indoors and outdoors clean and comfortable Big dining table - sat all five of us no problem Closets - roomy Beach/patio seating - plenty of seating at the table, on the patio and on the beach!

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.
