A charming and comfortable beachfront cottage, located at Jade Bay in Akumal, Riviera Maya, Mexico. The cottage is privately located in the beautiful tropical garden of a private gated property. Its terrace is only 15 yards from the beach and a 10 minute beach walk from Akumal Village. A choice of cozy restaurants will satisfy your appetite. Akumal, 'the place of the turtles', is located between Playa del Carmen with its European flavoured vivid night life and Tulum with its historical Mayaruins. Carpark, private gate, and much more. To find out more visit our website, see link in 'Further Details' below.

Beautiful Beachfront Cottage: Usually, beach front villas along the Riviera Maya are big and not meant for a couple or small family to stay, they have usually 5+ bedrooms. The weekly rates are high and not affordable unless you shop around to fill the beds. Our Cottage offers you the Caribbean beachfront joy, the privacy of your own secluded tropical garden and beachfront. An affordable alternative in paradise!

How to Get There: Conveniently located close to the highway 307 from Cancun to Tulum, exit Las Villas Akumal, km 253. Isla Escape can be reached by public transportation with a transfer to the Paradas Continuas or a taxi at Playa del Carmen. All major car rental companies are present at Cancun airport. Car rental is also available at Akumal. Detailed routing will be provided with your booking confirmation through our website.

Where to Go, What to Do: This holiday destination offers a great variety of cultural, historical and leisure activities. If you don`t like 'activities' you may simply lay back and relax on the terrace or the beach with a good book and the ever lasting sound of the ocean.

    This place was the most relaxing home for two couples. Jacob was a fabulous resource of information and conversation! Every evening we went out with a flashlight to help local volunteers with marking the area of nesting sea turtles. We even watched a meteor shower one night!!

    Very safe place in a gated community with security at the entrance to the area.

    We had a delightful stay at this cottage and recommend it highly. It was clean, quiet and ideally located within walking distance from the public Akumal Beach and near the nice restaurant, Jungle Beach Club. Jacob was a lovely host and the property manager was always available and answered every request with si!We spent time lounging and eating on the lanai, swimming, kayaking, snorkeling. We had a small child so the small protected cove with wading pools and sea creatures provided lots of entertainment. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    The house was comfortable and the outside surroundings are just perfect. Private, lots of shade for relaxing, excellent snorkeling steps from the door. Very friendly staff, Edgar, Angel, and Fabiola were wonderful.

    Highly recommend this spot! The house was incredibly clean, the rooms were air conditioned and comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, the hosts and thier helpers were fantastic, the beach felt like a private beach, beach toys, including kayaks and boogie boards were provided, and the snorkeling right in front was fantastic! Planning on coming back at some point in the future.

    Lovely place with so much privacy. Own beach basically and only. Nice walk into town. Was very lucky to get to see momma turtles laying eggs and another night seeing baby turtles making their way to the ocean. Unforgettable memories. This was our second time staying here and will for sure stay again.

    Lovely position with plenty of outside space for eating and sitting in a hammock and lying in the sun overlooking the beach. We were able to wander down the beach yo the Jungle Fish beach bar for supper if we wanted to eat out. A real highlight was snorkeling nearby with Green Turtles. The owner Jacob was very attentive and he and the groundsman Edgar did everything they could to make sure we had everythjng we needed including clearing the seaweed from the beach for us.Thank you

    This beachfront cabana was a dream come true. The setting is magical — you truly feel like you’re alone in the world, with the sound of the waves as your soundtrack and direct access to the ocean. The large palapa (thatched roof patio) creates the perfect outdoor living space, with a comfy sofa and a big dining table to enjoy meals with the ocean breeze.Inside, the layout is ideal for a family: two private bedrooms plus a mezzanine with an extra bed. Everything is designed for a peaceful, comfortable stay immersed in nature.Just a 15-minute walk along the beach brings you to the stunning white sand of Akumal Bay. Pure paradise!What truly made our experience exceptional was the service. Kim and Jacob, the owners, were absolutely wonderful — kind, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. And a huge thank you to Edgar, the property manager, who took care of us throughout our entire stay. Truly a 5-star experience We’ll definitely be back!

    The ocean-side location, the views and the comforts of Isla Escape were exactly as advertised. Better yet, the casita is but a 20 minute beachside stroll to the wonders of Bahia Akumal. Snorkeling with sea turtles in this protected tropical paradise is not to be missed. The owners, Jacob and Moonea, live right next door and were extremely thoughtful and kind. Edgar who manages the property, along with his team, provided attentive service throughout, along with Edgar's cooking talents. The one quibble, is that if you have small children, or if you are not confident swimmers, this might not be the place for you. The seabed is largely coral and rock, not sand. While stunningly beautiful, you have to be careful not to injure yourself, especially in rough conditions. Swimming slippers are a must. Lastly, the casita is fully equipped for adventure; e.g., kayaks, snorkeling gear, wake boards. We would consider coming again. Gracias a todos.

    The small home was clean and had amazing access to the beach basically right outside the back porch. There is a covered porch with a table and several chairs and lounging areas in the back yard overlooking the ocean. There is beach area is right there behind the house which is super convenient!Jacob was great and always available. Overall it was excellent!

    We were looking for a place that was ocean front, private, and walking distance to a town. This place hit all the marks. Edgar who took care of us and made sure everything was taken care of. Will for sure visit again.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The weather wasn’t on our side but the area has a lot to offer. We visited numerous Cenotes so it was fun to swim/snorkel in them. We explored the Tulum ruins - so much bigger than I would have imagined. Great restaurants are nearby but we also used the grill and relaxed. Jacob is an amazing host, we enjoyed his visits and loved seeing Tina ?. Thanks for sharing the casita with us.
