This was our first experience vacationing in this way and it was fantastic. The villa had plenty of room to be with the kids. Waking up and walking right out to the beach and paddle boarding with the morning sun was fantastic. Luis was extremely helpful from pre-arrival groceries to finding taxis. And even though we were concerned as we shared the beach with the casitas, it wasn’t an issue at all. Everyone was nice, respectful of space and no noise issues. Being able to walk down the beach to 2 fantastic restaurants was perfect. I liked the security and we would come back! Thank you for your patience with all my questions.

Great stay in Tulum. The villa was exactly as expected. The views of the bay were spectacular. All the rooms were spacious and comfortable. We made a few meals at "home" and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Glynis was great leading up to the trip answering any questions we had, and Luis was super sweet in helping out with anything we needed while we were there. A perfect slice of paradise that we hope to get back to soon.

Peaceful and beautiful

Casa Playa Maya is located on the enchanting Solimon Bay, away from the chaos of Tulum and the hotel zone. While these places are accessible, once we arrived we hardly wanted to leave. The homeowner,Glynis, was in excellent contact ahead of my arrival and then lLuis, the house manager greeted us and made our stay very special. We stayed in the main villa on the beachfront, which is very attractive with 2 story glass walls and each room has a private balcony or terrace plus the rooftop. The casitas were equally nice and would also have been a great option if we were a smaller group. Luis was helpful in arranging transportation and anything that we needed. This beautiful home is located on about the prettiest stretch of beach that you could ask for. Enjoy!

Perfect vacation...perfect!

Only problem with this place, I could never sleep late because the sunrise on the wide and empty beach... just me and my delicious coffee and the gentle morning breeze and the whole day in front of me... Well I just could not waste a moment of it so I got up with the crazy tropical birds every single day! (sshhh I napped in the hammock each afternoon) You must let Lidia make you her grilled Shrimp skewers dinner... just do it. Thank me later. And her guacamole, she gets her ripe and lucsious avocados from a little old lady at a special market... Now go, book this before someone snatches it up and you end up at some boring condo.

Great spot from a picky womens perspective

Just returned from a fantastic stay at Casa Playa Maya. My Hubie and I stayed in the upper casita, and it was perfect. The casita had a beautiful domed brick ceiling, well equipped kitchen and a nice deck. It was spotlessly clean. I have spent a considerable about of time in the Yucatan in the past 2 years and this unit had a few things that set it apart from the rest. The first comfortable bed I have had, fluffy soft pillows, ample water pressure and good screens ( i.e.no mosquito's, the place had 11 or 12 windows and a great breeze all the time). Soliman Bay is wonderful. Great snorkeling, kayaking, swimming, beach walking, birding, or just laying back with a book. The owner Bill, is a great host and a wealth of information about local attractions, shopping, restaurants that only a local could know. We will be back.

Awesome!

We spent 3 weeks at this wonderful place right on the beach and we had a great time. Our dog was welcome and it was very relaxing to know that we were able to travel with her and not leave her at home with a dogsitter. I loved the hammocks, the free kayaks, snorcheling and the peaceful athmoshere. The property was clean and the helpers picked fresh coconuts for us, right from the palm ;-) ahhhhhh!!! Bill helped us to find everything we were looking for and he even got us some special organic food in town that we couldn't find. He was open, generous and gave us important information about the area. He has a huge library that he freely shared with us whenever we wanted to get new books...and we read a LOT! We loved this vacation and we often talk about this place with friends. Thank you, Bill! We definitely will come back!

Beautiful views and unparalleled beach access

We booked this property for during my son's mid-winter break in February 2023. We had initially booked a different property which we canceled with no reason given. However, in the end, we all agreed that the cancellation was for the best because this place was perfect for us! Plenty of room for the 5 of us (3 adults, 2 children under 10). You can't beat the view from the Eastern side of the house. Walking out the back door and right onto the beach was amazing. Made it so easy to swim with the kids for however long they were up for it instead of having to pack them into the car to go swimming. We loved how shallow the bay was, allowing us to walk really far out without the water going above our shoulders. The VRBO host was very responsive prior to the trip and probably the most helpful of any host for the various properties we stayed at over the years. Only minor complaint was that the distance from the main highway is a bit long given the condition of the dirt roads. However, we had rented a small SUV, so it really wasn't a big deal. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing beach getaway!

Tropical Retreat

My sister's family (2 adults, 4 children) and my family (2 adults, 2 small boys) rented Casa Playa Maya for five days in March 2015. We rented the main house and one casita. This property is not luxurious, but it is exactly what you need for one of the best vacations you will ever have. Not only is the house charming and comfortable, but it is situated in the exact perfect location in Soliman Bay. Walked along Soliman Bay and saw many more extravagant houses unfortunately situated on stinky parts of the beach where the dead seaweed washed ashore, or with rocky beach areas that were unsuitable for any fun directly from the beach. We snorkeled daily, saw wonderful and amazing underwater scenes of life! Turtles, rays, fish of all kinds, gigantic sea fans, conch, hermit crabs, needlefish, and so much more! You literally can walk into the water and within 20 feet from shore you can explore coral outcroppings. If you are more adventurous, take a sea kayak out a few more hundred yards. The entire bay is protected by a barrier reef. The house is conveniently situated outside of Tulum and minutes from Xel-Ha, another natural wonder. Lydia and her husband are wonderful caretakers and will cook for you, for an extra charge. They clean daily and will get you fresh coconut from the trees right on property. My boys were in the water all day every day and absolutely loved this house, as did I! There is something magical about the sun down here - it warms you to the very core. And Casa Playa Maya is the perfect place to soak it in.

Casa Playa Maya was our home away from home for 8 days. Glynis, the owner was super informative. She recommended a grocery, restaurants and answered any questions we had promptly. In addition to being very kind & helpful Luis and Anabel kept the villa and surrounding properties beautifully! Snorkeling in the bay was a family favorite for sure. Security at the gate for peace of mind. Hope we can return!

Great Place

This is a really nice house right on the ocean. We stayed in the "Casa Grande". There are smaller apartments that are behind the Casa Grande that wouldn't have the same view. The property staff were very nice and helpful. The house is in a gated area about 15 minutes outside Tulum. We rented a car in Cancun and drove. We felt completely safe the whole time, with the caveat that we didn't drive much at night.

Dream house on dream bay

We loved the property. One of the most amazing things about it is that it is located on Soliman Bay and the water is protected from the surf. There is a nice reef a short kayak or long swim away but there is also a mini reef 100 yards from shore that is tiny but surprisingly has many fish. We brought two kids that are 7 and 12. They were able to snorkel around the close reef all the time. The other amazing thing about the location are the property managers who were super helpful and nice. We had them cater two meals of fish tacos which were excellent! The property is as beautiful as it looks in the photos but I must note here that while it feels the property is on its own, it is actually part of a small complex with other rentals which means the pool and beach are shared. While we were disappointed about this at first, in fact it was fine. There was never anyone else in the pool area and the beach area was never crowded.

Wonderful location

This was perfect vacation spot for our family, although would have been nice to have AC in main room and loft. Luckily we had nice breezes the entire time so feel we lucked out. Soliman Bay is good 15 minute drive in to town but we enjoyed cooking breakfast and lunch and then headed in to Tulum for dinner. Worked well for us. We enjoyed playing many games of chess and snorkeling. Very relaxing, on a beautiful beach.
