About this property

The only and most charming luxury beachfront cottage on the Riviera Maya

A charming and comfortable beachfront cottage, located at Jade Bay in Akumal, Riviera Maya, Mexico. The cottage is privately located in the beautiful tropical garden of a private gated property. Its terrace is only 15 yards from the beach and a 10 minute beach walk from Akumal Village. A choice of cozy restaurants will satisfy your appetite. Akumal, 'the place of the turtles', is located between Playa del Carmen with its European flavoured vivid night life and Tulum with its historical Maya ruins. Carpark, private gate, and much more. To find out more visit our website, see link in 'Further Details' below.

Beautiful Beachfront Cottage: Usually, beach front villas along the Riviera Maya are big and not meant for a couple or small family to stay, they have usually 5+ bedrooms. The weekly rates are high and not affordable unless you shop around to fill the beds. Our Cottage offers you the Caribbean beachfront joy, the privacy of your own secluded tropical garden and beachfront. An affordable alternative in paradise!

How to Get There: Conveniently located close to the highway 307 from Cancun to Tulum, exit Las Villas Akumal, km 253. Isla Escape can be reached by public transportation with a transfer to the Paradas Continuas or a taxi at Playa del Carmen. All major car rental companies are present at Cancun airport. Car rental is also available at Akumal. Detailed routing will be provided with your booking confirmation through our website.

Where to Go, What to Do: This holiday destination offers a great variety of cultural, historical and leisure activities. If you don`t like 'activities' you may simply lay back and relax on the terrace or the beach with a good book and the ever lasting sound of the ocean. For an extensive tour and information of the area, please visit our website.

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!

Beautiful family vacation spot!
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!

Isla Escape is better than advertised
We stayed here for a week - two adult couples. We were very comfortable and able to completely unwind and relax. The property is on the beach and has a wonderful yard and covered patio so you can really be outdoors all the time if you like. It is a very quick walk from the best restaurant in Akumal - Jungle Fish. The host is nearby and very responsive and helpful.
