UNIT B2

If this is your first trip to Akumal, you are in store for a marvelous adventure. “Akumal” means “place of the turtles” in the Mayan language. In season, you can watch the turtles lay their eggs and then march to the sea. You will never forget the experience.

Our condominium is particularly lovely because we have very high ceilings and a large, open floor plan. The living and dining area adjoin, but do not seem like the same space. I have decorated with antiques and art from the region, so you will fell more at home than in some other rentals. We kept it to ourselves for ten years and only started renting in 2008.

We have two spacious bedrooms with king size beds. Both rooms are light and airy. The Master's bath in the room area, while the Guest Room's full bath is just outside the door.

Fabulous ruins, snorkeling, deep sea diving, turtle watching, shopping, relaxing and lots of fun await you here. I look forward to hearing from you. Call or email with any questions.


Akumal: We are only a ten minute walk from the 'center' of Akumal. There are two small grocery stores, an Internet room that is very reasonable, a few shops and a laundry. There are also three very good restaurants here in the center. You can access Akumal beach from here. It's only about one hundred yards from the center. The snorkeling off this beach is really good. Akumal is always casual.


Things to Do: Shopping is very good in Tulum, which is only 15 minutes south, and in Playa del Carmen which is only 22 minutes north. Sightseeing is endless. You can take day trips to Tulum or Coba, or you can stay overnight at Chitze Itza or Merida. We recommend them all. There is an endless list of possible activities for you to enjoy in and around Akumal and all through the Mayan Riviera. There are PGA golf courses and world class diving spots. The fresh water cenotes are just beautiful and very refreshing. I have snorkeled many with our children. I prefer to have a guide direct us when we go the cenotes.

My Favorite Thing to Do: I love to walk the beach from in front of our apartment and then to the right. It is not completely sandy. It is covered with thousands of pieces of washed-up coral and small shells. I collect the most striking pieces of coral that I find. I have so many now, I can be very choosy. I will sit for hours there and just commune with the sea and nature. I am usually totally alone and for me, there is no other place where I feel so at one with the world.

DIRECTIONS
There is no actual address for our building. If you find one on VRBO, it is incorrect. Only a lot number is associated with our building and that does not work on GPS.
When you come to the AKUMAL sign coming from Cancun, You will want to go to AKUMAL BEACH. Akumal Beach is on the left side of the highway as you are traveling south. The small town of Akumal is on the right side of the highway so you will need to turn in and cross over the bridge into Akumal Beach.
Enter Akumal Beach. Drive through the arch and veer left. Continue through the security gate. You will come to a dog leg curve to the left just continue on. In about 100 yards or so you will come to Mi Casa Del Mar on your right. Drive under the porte-corche I have a photo of our building on my property page. A gentleman should come to help with your bags. If not immediately, just ring the bell or buzzer to call him. A gratuity would be appreciated.

Water is provided. Just let the building manager know if you need a new bottle.

Now a Covid test is required to leave the country. My manager, Roger, can help you arrange for the test. There will be a charge.



I will send you the lockbox code in an email. When you leave, please replace the key in the box. We also have a screen door! When you open the front door and the doors to the veranda you will get a wonderful breeze. Please contact me if you have any questions.
