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!

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!

Peace and Tranquility

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.

Family Vacation

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.

Family holiday

We rented the main house and it was very nice. We didn't realize that the property also had 4 apartments on the property. The pool was very small for that many people. We were disappointed that the algae was back because it is usually a quiet and lovely beach. Luis was exceptional.

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.

Ideal winter vacation on beautiful, quiet Soliman Bay

This spot was ideal for us and one of our daughters and family. The bay is gorgeous and we were right on the bay. Kayaking and swimming and snorkeling out the front door. Luis and Anabel took very good care of us. They are the best. Great house, pool, and casitas. Easy access to full grocery stores and a wonderful restaurant down the beach for lunch.

Wonderful stay!

2 adults and 2 teenagers Xmas week at the house-- LOVED our stay! The location is great for activities (don't miss the Tulum and Coba ruins, local cenotes, and the monkey sanctuary), and kayaking, paddle boarding and snorkeling off the beautiful beach out your front door. Easy to cook in the kitchen and local markets are easy to fine-- beds are comfortable. We all enjoyed our week!!

Wonderful house

We had a great time staying at Casa Playa Maya. It's really easy to get to and convenient to a lot of stuff in and near Tulum. We were eight people and fit just fine in the main house. Got groceries at Chedraui (about a 15 minute drive) and cooked dinner most nights. The beach at the house is lovely - lots of snorkeling close in and you can kayak out to the reef for snorkeling too. Favorite activities while we were there: snorkeling with turtles at Akumal (though there were turtles in the bay right outside the house too!), visiting the ruins (go early!), and visiting the Tulum public beach (just down the road from Chedraui - go around the circle where the police station is and go north - easy to park and the beach is wide and beautiful). Akumal monkey sanctuary was also fun. Luis and Ana were wonderful too - friendly and helpful and there with everything we needed. We'll be back!

Loved this property!

We had an amazing stay at Casa Playa Maya! IT was beautiful there! Sadly for a few days of our week stay it was quite windy which resulted in a lot of seaweed on the beach. This is where the pool was extremely helpful - it was great to have an option! Only have amazing things to say about the caregivers on site - Louise and Anna-Bell. They truly made this experience and were extremely helpful through out our stay. They both really added a lot of value and we were all so happy to have them there! Would for sure go back!

About the host

Hosted by Glynis Fleming

We really want to share this amazing location with others and make memorable holidays and memories. Casa Playa Maya is located in pristine Bahia Soliman. It's a beautiful private beach in a protected bay. Unlike busy Tulum beach, our location is quiet with a beautiful sandy beach.

Entering the north end of Tulum Beach in town now comes with a fee for visitors.

When you rent with us your private beach is included...no need to pay to visit a busy commercialize beach. Just step off your deck, slide into your snorkel gear and experience amazing sealife. Jump into a kayak or onto a paddleboard and explore this calm turquoise bay. Its amazingly beautiful and all gear is included.

There are 2 restaurants on the bay and Tulum is only 15 minutes away if you want more shopping and restaurants.

We want our guests to come away feeling like they have truly had a vacation in a tropical paradise.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the private sandy bay, abundant sea life, no crowds and great community.

What makes this property unique

This is the polar opposite of an all inclusive resort. There are no crowds, but Tulum is close enough for some night life, great award-winning restaurants, mayan ruins and other attractions. Soliman Bay hosts only 48 properties and sits on the 2nd largest reef in the world. The beach and water have lovely white sand, the water is warm and aquamarine. Because the bay is uncrowded, guests can expect to see lots of sea life like sea turtles, rays, tropical fish, crayfish and more. Our community operates the Bahai-Soliman Turtle Protection Program and we hatch over 3000 baby turtles on the bay each year and it's climbing. These are only a few special things...the rest are you...when you visit.
