The weather wasn’t on our side but the area has a lot to offer. We visited numerous Cenotes so it was fun to swim/snorkel in them. We explored the Tulum ruins - so much bigger than I would have imagined. Great restaurants are nearby but we also used the grill and relaxed. Jacob is an amazing host, we enjoyed his visits and loved seeing Tina 🐶. Thanks for sharing the casita with us. ##### Ryan G. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine R. Feb 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A wonderful stay! Four of us -- myself, a friend from California, and my brother and sister-in-law -- had a most wonderful time staying at Kim and Jacob's fantastic cottage right on the beach at Akumal. We felt extremely well-looked after -- Edgar and Karen made sure everything was spick and span every day, and, being without a car, we were very grateful that Edgar could pick up groceries and take us to the ATM when necessary. We also had Edgar cook for us a few nights, which was super, and Kim's gifts of food and drink were highly appreciated! It's a really beautiful place -- extremely private, with its own little lagoon in front, but easy to walk to the softer sands to the left of the property to get deeper into the water for a good swim when you wish. And then you can walk 3 minutes to the right to Jungle Fish for dinner when you fancy a change (we enjoyed dancing to the lively cover band one night!). Very very tranquil -- we read, did yoga, played Scrabble, drank wine and talked -- and never stopped marvelling at the beauty of the location: thank you so much for everything, Kim and Jacob! ##### Catherine R.

The setting is magical — you truly feel like you’re alone in the world, with the sound of the waves as your soundtrack and direct access to the ocean. The large palapa (thatched roof patio) creates the perfect outdoor living space, with a comfy sofa and a big dining table to enjoy meals with the ocean breeze.Inside, the layout is ideal for a family: two private bedrooms plus a mezzanine with an extra bed. Everything is designed for a peaceful, comfortable stay immersed in nature.Just a 15-minute walk along the beach brings you to the stunning white sand of Akumal Bay. Pure paradise!What truly made our experience exceptional was the service. Kim and Jacob, the owners, were absolutely wonderful — kind, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. And a huge thank you to Edgar, the property manager, who took care of us throughout our entire stay. Truly a 5-star experience We’ll definitely be back! ##### Val B.

Yes, this really is a wonderful place with a great host. It was perfect for two couples. Comfortable beds, inviting outdoor spaces and peaceful. Easy walk on the beach to the restaurants and shops of Akumal. Akumal is a delightful location away from the bustle of Tulum and Play aDel Carmen, but close enough to both for quick day trips. Three house is located on a quiet road of private homes and condos with friendly neighbors. Truly special. ##### Becky P.

Pictures don’t do it justice at all. Great location, easy walk on the beach to Akumal and all the restaurants. Super quiet and private at the cottage and the owner Jacob lives next door. He was such a great host, had a wealth of knowledge on all the questions we had. We loved our stay at Isla Escape, very hard to leave this little piece of paradise. Thank you Jacob!!! ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher W. Apr 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A beautiful, private retreat, right on the water The ocean-side location, the views and the comforts of Isla Escape were exactly as advertised. Better yet, the casita is but a 20 minute beachside stroll to the wonders of Bahia Akumal. Snorkeling with sea turtles in this protected tropical paradise is not to be missed. The owners, Jacob and Moonea, live right next door and were extremely thoughtful and kind. Edgar who manages the property, along with his team, provided attentive service throughout, along with Edgar's cooking talents. The one quibble, is that if you have small children, or if you are not confident swimmers, this might not be the place for you. The seabed is largely coral and rock, not sand. While stunningly beautiful, you have to be careful not to injure yourself, especially in rough conditions. Swimming slippers are a must. Lastly, the casita is fully equipped for adventure; e.g., kayaks, snorkeling gear, wake boards. We would consider coming again. Gracias a todos. ##### Christopher W.

We loved our stay at Isla Escape. Jacob's house is beautiful. My 3 sons, ages 7, 15 and 17 are all asking to come back. As a mom, I felt very reassured that we were in a safe neighborhood. The house was private even with other houses right next door. The garden was beautifully maintained with multiple places to sit and relax. The house and yard were cleaned daily, and on our last day they even offered to do our laundry so that I don't have a pile to do when we get home - what more can a mom ask for?! There were kayaks, life vests, some scuba masks, and beach toys. The kids also loved seeing the hermit crabs and lizards that would pass through outside. The Jungle Fish beach club was just a short walk down the beach and gave us a wonderful place to relax with food, a pool for the kids, and drinks. We were able to explore all around Riviera with our rental car- cenotes, Mayan ruins, Isla Mujeres, swimming with the sea turtles at Akumal Beach, monkeys at Punta Laguna, snorkeling, fishing. This region has it all. Highly recommend! ##### Chelsea M. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### danielle s.

Jul 30, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Girls trip My friends and I had an amazing time in Mexico! Casa Moonee was an absolute wonderful place to stay! My friends and I are so happy we went with the area of Akumal, it was a great spot!!! We adventured around and decided we made a wise choice! The sargassum in the Akumal area was extremely minimal compared to other areas. We felt safe and everyone we encountered were so nice! We treated ourselves to a special swanky dinner at Alux restaurant, very high end but worth the experience!! We didn't have a bad meal anywhere we went and the service was great for us everywhere. I highly recommend Akumal dive shop, Emilia was a wonderful dive instructor and the Dos Olos Cenote dive was magical! No fish or coral but a beautiful dive in a cavern like setting. Jacob and Kim were amazing hosts and gave us wonderful recommendations for our adventures! I also highly recommend getting the private massages at the cottage, it was wonderful and relaxing! I would highly recommend Casa Moonee to anyone! Such a beautiful and peaceful vibe!! We rented a car and I highly recommend that! ##### valarie h.

The checkin and put were smooth and the hosts are there every time you need them. We will be back for sure. ##### Mariano G. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon K.

Located in Akumal between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, close access to everything. Your own private beach with snorkeling and kayaking steps away. Kim and Jacob were kind and courteous hosts. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Sharon K. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark N.

House and property were beautiful. Our flight got canceled and Caretaker was very responsive and accommodating, allowing us to stay until next guest was scheduled to arrive. Definitely will return…. ##### Mark N.
