Casa De Las Conchas Luxury Beach Front Villa

Casa de las Conchas is a dream 5000 sq ft beachfront Caribbean vacation villa, situated right on the beach inside the gated community of South Akumal with 24 hours security. Our villa has 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The huge master bedroom on the second floor has a beautiful Caribbean Sea view, patio doors out onto the oceanfront terrace. It has its own dressing room and a master bathroom with a jacuzzi tub!

Case de las Conchas has about nearly 2,000 sq.ft of outdoor decks and balconies! You will be waking up to the incredibly beautiful Caribbean sunrise and listen to the sound of Caribbean Sea water lapping against the shore.

The second bedroom on the second floor also has beautiful views of the white sand beach and ocean through its windows.
On the second floor, there is the third bedroom also with a magnificent view over the tropical gardens and the sunset.

We are proud that Casa de las Conchas is equipped with a kitchen that is big enough for a group with a large family. The kitchen leads onto the living room and beach front dining room.

We have seatings for a large group of family and friends to dine together and enjoy the villa. In the restaurants in Akumal, delicious local specialties or traditional Mexican cuisine is available as well as international cuisine!

Hang around the swimming pool just to relax and enjoy the drinks/refreshments. Villa has palaces and hammocks to lay back and read or nap.

The bay at Akumal South is protected by a double barrier reef just 100m offshore making the water in the bay very calm almost all year round and awesome for snorkeling. For this reason, it is home to a whole host of tropical reef life including endangered sea turtles who nest right here on the beach from May to September every year.

Casa de las Conchas facilitates 3 kayaks for guest use. Have fun and enjoy the emerald color of Akumal Bay.

Casa de las Conchas's huge roof terrace is also our treasure! Its beautiful sea view and the open space will make you and your loved ones invite you to feel free.

Safes are available to store your valuables for your comfort. Villa Casa de Las Conchas is located inside a gated community with 24/7 security service.

The Akumal Sur bay is beautifully located behind the Mesoamerican coral reef and therefore very well protected and calm. Snorkeling in the bay is fun and beautiful.

The villa is a walking distance from Akumal Beach center offering a great variety of restaurants, shops, professional scuba dive shops, fishing or sailing boat trips, shops, small grocery stores.

Online grocery stores are available and the items are delivered to villa upon request.
Beautiful Akumal is located right between the cities of Tulum and Playa del Carmen that both offer a great variety, but different, dining entertaining and nightlife. Mayan historical culture is present everywhere along the Riviera Maya for your cultural outings.

Fantastic House in Akumal
This house exceeded our expectations and provided a beautiful home base for our Tulum area vacation. The pool was great to hang out one thing that was a little unique to this house was that there is more of a private beach with the cabana and hammocks than other houses on that section of beach.

Amazing house and location
We absolutely loved our stay at Casa de las Conchas. We have stayed at Akumal Sur before and love the little "private" beach. Even though there were high winds the week we stayed, we still enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking in the bay. The pool was wonderful and we used all of the seating areas on the beach and pool area, especially the hammocks and palapa lounges. Kim easy to contact and quick to reply. Edgar was so friendly and kept the pool area and beach area in top shape. Karin was great too. The views from the 3 beach facing rooms were fabulous, and all beds/bathrooms, and the living room and eat in kitchen area, were very comfortable. Having the water jugs in the bathrooms was convenient. The amenities do not list shampoo/conditioner/body wash, so bring some with you, but several of the bathrooms had a few of these items. Fabulous week - we would love to stay here again!

We absolutely loved the stay. The house, pool, and beach were wonderful. Karin and Edgar were amazing both as caretakers and cooks. We had dinner at the house on 2 nights and the meals were great and the setting eating outside at the pool patio was very nice. Kim (the property manager) was also very responsive and friendly. Would 1000% recommend this property and people for a great vacation. Three generations of our family lived it.

Perfect beach house in South Akumal
Three generations family vacation for a week at Las Conchas, incl. toddlers. A wonderful, comfortable, private oasis for a beach vacation - everything was fantastic! Kim is an amazing host - provided a second crib & highchair, got new baby blankets to "make sure the babies didn't get cold." Stocked the frig w/ wine, beer, water, coffee, tea, etc. - her gifts. Great house w/ 4 beds/3 baths up &1 bed/bath down, plus powder room. Huge open family area w/ well stocked & easy to work in kitchen. (second smaller kitchen if needed) Incredible views from inside and out - walk out the sliding doors and there's a large pool & you're literally on the beach. Best part, plenty of shade if you want it. Covered patio w/ a table for 10, large wood palapa for shade w/ 2 large day beds, loungers with umbrellas by the pool, loungers on the sand under the palm trees - a great shaded area for the toddlers to play in the sand. They loved it! Plant hedges down to the beach for privacy. Bring water shoes - swimming/snorkeling are excellent right off shore. A double and 2 single kayaks & plenty of beach toys for the kids. Rooftop has table/chairs, loungers, umbrellas & fantastic views. Karen comes daily to clean and do any laundry you want done. Edgar comes daily to clean the pool/outside area. Lovely people. Try the chef services - Karen & Edgar come & cook amazing meals (all food and pina coladas from fresh pineapples were excellent). We'll we be back! Thanks Kim for a wonderful stay!!

Perfect 4-generation family escape!
We spent 8 nights there over New Years with our family consisting of 7 adults plus my 91 year old mother and 3 year old grandson. A ground floor bedroom and full bathroom was perfect for my mom who has trouble managing stairs, and the owner provided several bed options for our grandson from a crib to fold-out bed. The house is comfortable and elegant, but not so fancy that we worried about a 3 year old running around. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked for ourselves most nights. We preferred to eat outside at the large poolside dining table, but also moved to the large table indoors for cool evenings. Bedrooms are large, especially the master bedroom! and beds very comfortable. Listening to the distant roar of waves breaking on the reef was soporific. Outdoors, the pool is large and deep, and surrounded by comfortable lounges and umbrellas and hammocks. Steps away from the pool, the beach is white sand, and the water's edge is rimmed with fossils and coral chunks for beach combing. The sea is warm and clear and shallow; we could wade 1/3 of the way to the reef. Snorkeling (and kayaking) from the house was just magical- especially in the early morning when the sea was usually calm. The house comes with life jackets + sand/pool toys. The house also comes with a housekeeper and gardener/chef. We loved having Karen and Edgar stop by for a few hours each day to tidy up and help with laundry and the pool and answer any questions about the house. We will be back.

We just spent 8 nights in the beautiful place. There were 10 of us all together ranging in age from 5 to 70. This place is perfect. The pool and outside area are as perfect in real life as in the pictures. You can walk a few steps to the beach and we snorkled every day in the bay in front of the house. We saw fish and sting rays. Just a few minutes walk down the beach and you arrive at Jungle Fish Cafe where we ate dinner several nights. We also had the in house chef make us a couple of meals. They were amazing. The house host, Kim, is incredibly attentive and fast to reply to every need you may have. We would absolutely stay here again!

This villa is paradise!!!
This villa is amazing! The photos do not do it justice. It is so beautiful here and the house is fantastic for a large group. On the main floor you have the open kitchen, dining, living areas which make socializing while cooking very easy. There is also a half bath right there. Just off this large area is a second kitchen (second fridge) and another dining area as well as a bedroom and full bath. Upstairs is the primary suite which is incredible with the balcony and large tub. One more bedroom with en suite and two more bedrooms that share a full bath. Now for the outside. Oh my goodness it’s amazing. By the pool there is a large table where we loved having meals. And so many areas to sit in both the sun and shade at the pool and then 5 steps away to your private beach area. We loved snorkeling and kayaking, and one of my friends didn’t want to leave the hammock. And let’s not forget the roof deck - which is huge and incredible for both sunrise and sunset. We walked to Jungle Fish restaurant for two meals (delicious) and the town of Akumal is a short 5 min drive away with amazing restaurants like Taverna and La Buena Vida. All in all this house is gorgeous and we had such a phenomenal stay. We hope to return again and again. It was worth every penny!

Christmas Family Vacation
Truly a week in paradise! Casa de las Conches was the perfect home for our family. My 3 adult children, their spouses, 2 year old grandson, my husband and me, my daughter in law’s parents. The pictures do not represent the beauty of this place. We always stay at all inclusive resorts when we come to Mexico. This is the first VRBO we have ever stayed at in Mexico. December weather here is absolutely perfect. Our host Kim was truly awesome. Personal concierge! She took care of every single need. Karen and Edgar kept the place spotless all week. Chef Martin and staff prepared delicious meals for us. We celebrated my daughters 25th birthday mid week with personalized dinner, bartender, and mariachis! We loved the town in Akumal. Two meals at Taverna!

Beautiful family friendly house
My wife and I have been to houses around Akumal several times over the last ten years and we have enjoyed this one the most. The house manager was very helpful and accommodating. She scheduled a physician to come to the house for our covid tests and one night our chef got sick and she brought a delicious meal from a local restaurant instead. The gardener and maid were timely and proficient. There is a few small coral outcroppings that you can easily take your 6 year old snorkeling to from the house. And there is a very nice pool (which, regardless of were we go, seems to be the most important feature for our kids). This house easily accommodated our family of six plus a set of grandparents and when we return to Akumal will be looking to come here again.

Amazing Stay and Staff
Our group of 9 adults really enjoyed our stay. The host was very helpful as well. The host helped us coordinate a private chef, in-home massages, and an at home COVID test so we could return to the states. The property was better in person that in the photos. We loved the pool and it was actually very convenient that the pool was shaded in the late afternoon (we all got a little sun burn so this was nice). We walked from the property to Akumal Dive Shop along the beach one day and it took about 45 minutes. The neighbors are very close and some of the guests has children that would get very ornery during the day so it was a little annoying listen to them whine but we were able to tune it out with the loud Bluetooth speakers that come with the house. The beds were very comfortable. One of the bedrooms with a king bed has a sliding door and our friends who stayed in there did not mind that the curtain did not completely cover their door. The groundskeeper and housekeeper were attentive everyday (other than Sunday). We enjoyed having all the dishes and towel taken care of each day. There was also a closet with extra snorkel gear that we appreciated since some of our gear broke. Overall I would recommend this property to anyone.

Amazing house and host. We rented the house for two friends 50th birthdays. All 5 couples had their own room and bathroom. 3 rooms have ocean views and the other two rooms have a more private feel. We loved the kayaks and being right at the water. We walked to town along the beach and really enjoyed the town of Akumal. We would all definitely rent this house again. The owner set us up with massages, and they have cooks available also. There was filtered water in all the bathrooms and kitchen. This is a perfect house. Thank you so much!

Perfect for a Family/Friends Vacation!
My family of 12 (7 adults/5 kids) spent the week of July 4th here. The house was large and very accommodating for all of us (ages 2-65 with most in our 30s). The daily maid service for both inside and outside really makes you feel like you are at an all inclusive without all the crowds. They were also very sweet and never really in the way. Take advantage of the chef at least 1 night and definitely get the masseuse's to come out. We have been to RM 5 times and have only stayed at the Resorts. I was nervous as to how this format would work, but if you have a family, do it! Having everyone together in the same house with kids always in sight was very nice. The beach was rocky in front of the home but clear beaches were a 4min walk either way. The house has plenty of space, linens, towels, kayaks, life jackets, dishes, fridge space (2 of them), patio space, 2 hammocks, plenty of outdoor seating and pretty much anything else. We found the kitchen only lacked scissors and a can opener, we did improvise without a hitch. The houses are close together, but still very private as we barely noticed our neighbors ever. All be it very easy to find, print the directions before you go as 1 party's driver had difficulty finding. This place is amazing with great views, a big clean pool and plenty of space hang out for a week. Our family couldn't have been happier!

A Great Family House
The house is as advertised - very comfortable for my extended family of 10 adults (and three children - including two small children and an infant). We had an initial problem at the beginning as the house was double-booked for one night - but Kim (owner) notified us quickly and was gracious and provided a day's meals at her cost as we lost one night (we had not yet booked our flight - so were able to work around it). The house is along a private gated road and feels secure; it is directly on the beach along with perhaps 30 or 40 other houses. The houses are close together but we didn't notice our neighbors much. Due to tides and wind, a downside was that there was a wall of seaweed along much of the beach (and along many of the beaches in the area). Don't know how common this is. It was not hard to get through it for swimming - but it limited access to the sea for the children. An outer reef means very little wave action (that would normally be good for children). Water shoes are helpful for getting into the water due to a rocky bottom. Snorkeling is not great (not many fish). The patio and outside area is terrific - very comfortable sitting, lying and talking-places - and many ways to get out of the sun and still enjoy the view of the sea. The pool is large for a home-pool: great for the kids - but, of course, we had to keep a close eye on our non-swimming little ones as the pool is directly out the sliding doors. The master bedroom/bath suite is huge; the other bedrooms are on the small to average side, but plenty adequate. Lots of bathrooms. The kitchen was adequate for a family of cooks. The owners may want to upgrade some of the pots and pans (getting worn). The housekeeper was terrific - nice to have beds made every day and clean floors. The house manager was less than welcoming upon our arrival and was not very pleasant to deal with but was not a significant detraction. I'm giving it a qualified 5 stars for the very enjoyable time we had there.
