Great stay! Wouldn’t have changed a thing. Privacy and seclusion. Outside of the city to avoid tons of people but close enough to come in enjoy and close to all the outside attractions! Jose who maintained the property was great, had fresh food for snacks and was out going in maintaining or pleasure during the stay!

Reviewer Comments:
We truly enjoyed casa cavu. The property is in a good location but a rental car is a must. There are plenty of restaurants and bars around it. We really enjoyed our stay. Jose and Delfina who were the care takers were great as well.
We stayed for 8 nights and had the best time! The pool was lovely and clean, the beach was very private feeling and we floated and snorkeled in the ocean everyday right there. Jose and Delfina were WONDERFUL! They made us homemade salsa (the best we have ever had!) and guacamole several times, cut us fresh coconuts to drink and eat and were there for anything we needed or to answer any questions we had. We set up massages at the house and several excursions through Akumal Direct and everything was flawless. Loved every minute here!
It is a wonderful property. We loved the view and being able to walk to a few restaurants. The location is perfect. It’s a quiet area with a Cenote within walking distance. It’s convenient to Akumal and Tulúm. There is construction next door, but it wasn’t disruptive. The groundskeeper and housekeeper were attentive. A place on the beach was cleared daily. Some of the furniture needs an upgrade. The living room sofa was difficult to sit on. Cushions were uncomfortable and didn’t stay put. It could be a problem for people with limited mobility. More/nicer outdoor furniture could really put this house at the next level. We would rent this house again.
The house was exactly as described, and all of my questions prior to our stay were answered promptly. The managing company was attentive and helped us feel prepared for our stay, then were just as prompt to respond whenever we reached out during our stay. The caretakers on the property were sweet and kept the house and beach clean and fresh water and towels stocked. On a rainy day, they brought us fresh coconut and hot chocolate! The house was a great home base for us as we explored nearby akumal beach, cenotes, and tulum ruins, and we made great use of the pool. We ordered groceries to be delivered ahead of time, but there are plenty of great grocery store options on the way from cancun airport or a 10 min drive away in tulum. There are also great restaurant options a short walk away. The road from the highway to the house is very bumpy - not so bad that it kept us from leaving the house when we wanted, but we won’t miss it. Overall a quiet, safe home for our family trip to Mexico!
We had such an amazing time at casa cavu. We spent most of our time relaxing on the beach, in the pool or on the nearby piers with hammocks. There are TONS of amazing sea shells and coral washed up on shore, if you love looking for shells, this will be perfect. The house was spotless, and the location feels secluded and private. The conditions for snorkeling were terrible because of the weather, so we didn’t get to do that, but if the weather was nicer, it would be a snorkeling paradise, the reef is right off the shore!
We highly recommend letting isario (the caretaker) cook for you. He is an amazing chef. Him and his wife will give you a full service dining right in the house. Don’t miss out on his cooking! Our favorite was his tortilla soup, grilled fish and shrimp. Roccoio(?) the other caretaker kept the house SPOTLESS. She even mopped the floors every day. They take amazing care of the property. They even pick up the seaweed every morning. The dog, Lukey, was absolutely adorable and very well behaved. We really enjoyed having the dog around and he really completed our stay. He is just precious!

We enjoyed our recent stay in Casa Cavu particularly because of the staff! I can't thank them enough. They made our stay easy, like a hotel. The staff kept the house clean, gave us recommendations for local spots. They went far and above general Airbnb cleaning service. The home was lovely, very spacious, next to a beautiful shoreline. The entire shoreline was full of saragossa (seaweed) though they try to clean it every day. It is just too much to keep up; some other areas in the coast are worse. Though we didn't swim in this beach area we did enjoy the view and relaxing on the sand (soft sand). There are a few sea turtle nests on the property and hope a guest will be lucky to see them hatch in fall. We had plenty of lines, beach towels, etc. The area is guarded by security and very quiet. There is a hotel next door that makes great cocktails and delicious food. Note on the Construction: The crew was there on some days of our trip. The construction did not bother us though we were also out touring in the day time and it may bother some people. We would stay again with the construction and all.
Our family stayed here in July of 2024. We really enjoyed our time in Casa Cavu! The family that cared for the property are wonderful! Carolina and Fernando are so nice and their son was such a cutie! They were always available and very helpful during our one week stay. Our boys saw pelicans, hermit crabs, ghost crabs, lizards and crabs, a sea urchin…while right on the property. They enjoyed that very much.
I agree with other reviews take water shoes because it is a very rocky beach behind the house. We were able to snorkel and saw many fish and big shells.
I would recommend renting a vehicle. We needed to get groceries right away the first day. We did rent a SUV for 4 days for the 6 of us. It was very easy and was delivered/picked up at the house. You definitely need a vehicle to get to Tulum.We went to Tulum daily while we had the vehicle…it’s probably less than 10 min to drive into town. It was very nice just drive to the cenotes and take your time and not be rushed like when you go on tours.
We did have a lot of construction next door and it was loud but we made the best of our stay. We just played music while enjoying the pool. They did warn us when booking the trip that there would be construction going on.
We had a chef come and cook us dinner out last night. It was delicious!
We had a awesome trip! Many memories were made. Thank you Carolina, Fernando and Matias for taking care of us during our stay at this beautiful home!

Reviewer Comments:
Over all awesome. A few small things. The fridge did not cold enough and I had to fix the toilet every time we used it. Erma was awesome and we really loved the place. The beach images are a little misleading. It was a lot more rocky than it looked like.
We were a 3-generation family (ages 3.5, 67 and late 20-year-olds) visiting Tulum for the 1st time. We had an excellent experience. Casa Cavu was a choice location. We had plenty of space for all of us, excellent hosts and wonderful day trips to nearby Maya ruins, cenotes and the downtown area. We enjoyed the kitchen, grill and pool every day. We even broke through the sargassum with the kayaks to do some snorkeling. Looking forward to a 2nd trip to this wonder location.
The house and caretakers were excellent. However, the sargassum build up and associated smell was significant which effectively limited us to stay inside while on the premises.

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy
We arrived to find a huge construction site next door. Only 10 feet away, were 30 men crashing and banging from 8am to 6pm. I had contacted the rental company to make sure this would not be the case because I had seen reviews mentioning work before and was assured that no work had been done on the site in the last 6 months - the cleaners told us that work had been going on for at least the last three months. So complete misinformation and one can only imagine it was deliberate.
Great relaxing place to stay - house was clean, comfortable and the beach side bar minutes walk away!

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at Casa Cavu. The entire team was fantastic - from helping us coordinate all our excursions, to cooking dinner for us in our home. They truly covered all the bases and made us feel like royalty. Would highly recommend to anyone else visiting the area!
The property was amazing! There was very loud construction going on next door and the host offered to move us to another location. Everything worked out great!

Beautiful House and Great Location
We had 5 guests and another couple two door down. The house was a great central location. Pool, beach, kayaks lounge chairs were wonderful!. We arranged for a welcome dinner, which was amazing as well!
My wife and I stayed here for 6 days for a short getaway and much-needed vacation during these difficult times. The house and property are beautiful. Isidro and Rocio are great and we had a very nice meal prepared and served by them! We rented a car and did a bit of sight seeing, hung out a lot at the pool and beach and had a great time. We definitely recommend staying here.
I came to Casa Cavu with four friends to enjoy a week together. The place is beautiful - fantastic beach, delightful pool and near several cenotes. The caretakers are lovely and quite accommodating. The house was impeccably clean. If you stay here you should budget for taxis to and from Tulum, but this was worth it for the quality of the space we had. Highly recommended!
Amazing property and Akumal Direct was a pleasure to deal with. We changed houses because of the seaweed issues, and they didn't charge us any change fees...Seamless transaction.
Thank you for a wonderful family vacation!!!

Great spot!
If your getting to the house late make sure to pack snacks or have food delivered. Our first night was Cheetos and vodka LOL.
Wonderfully beautiful waterfront near Talum and Akumal
Casa Cavu is a beautiful house and made our stay perfect. Pool and beach were
picture perfect and soooo relaxing. Kitchen was large and dining room beautiful which allowed us to have
wonderful diners (wonderful grocery store in nearby Talum). The beds
were wonderfully made by senora Rocio and she clean the house every day just like
at a 5 star hotel :-) Isidro and Rocio were just excellent and made our stay
extremely pleasant. Talum and Akumal were just 15 minutes. The Kayaks, Snorkeling, and a
local Cenote just down the street added to the fun. Can't wait to return to Talum
& Akumal and would definitely stay at Casa Cavu again!
