The Turtle's Nest was exactly as shown in the photos. It was colorful and playful and full of the amenities to make you feel at home. The well appointed home was very clean and full of comfortable places to sit, and the 180 degree views were phenomenal. We enjoyed our stay very much and waking up to the beautiful sunrises and warm breezes from our balcony. The coastal birds and calm waters of Half Moon Bay were a delight to watch while drinking our coffee in the morning. Although the nearby town and Akumal village were quite far to walk, we were glad we had rented a car to explore the area and the nightlife in Tulum. Our stay was peaceful, quiet and very comfortable. We truly felt like home here and besides Mexico's Sargasso problem, we could not have asked for anything to make it better. We recommend this listing wholeheartedly and look forward t our next opportunity to return.

Loved this place and would go back ! Good location and quiet. Easy beach access, short drive to Tulum. Great communication with property. Well appointed. The only teeny drawback was that the master shower windows had no covering so neighbors could see into shower…. But we hung a towel over door to cover. Really cute and comfortable! Loved it, and recommend it!

Libby and paul’s place was great-location was perfect-walking distance to a lot-little shops, restaurants and just exploring options. Walked to yoga too!
Felt very safe!!!
We had a great time-everyone is very friendly and kind.
Communication was on point-didn’t need anything but knew we could reach Paul and Libby with zero problems.
Greatly appreciated that too!
Loved having the housekeeping-a nice touch-she was lovely too.
Highly recommend staying at this place.
Great family vibe!

Absolutely beautiful! We loved swimming in the bay and the lagoon. It was wonderful, the condo is absolutely gorgeous, we could hear the sea at night and we watched the lunar eclipse sitting on the deck. We were informed about the seaweed prior to our stay and it didn’t hinder our experience one bit. The restaurants that are both just a five min walk down the beach we’re fantastic, we had some delicious fish and some excellent desserts. We would definitely return.

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!! The Turtle's Nest is thoroughly and thoughtfully appointed with a completely equipped kitchen (including basic pantry ingredients), hats, sunscreen, repellent, snorkeling gear, life jackets - you name it!! Libby & Paul have really thought of everything and have left notes to answer almost any question you might have. This is a gated area - safe & secure - and the condo and the grounds are immaculately maintained. It's a great launching point to explore ruins, cenotes, Tulum, or whatever makes your heart happy. We took collectivos several times - this is a very affordable way to get around and we had zero issues despite speaking very little Spanish. We ate at every little place nearby and hiked down the beach a bit to Jungle Fish. Every meal was freaking fantastic! Can't emphasize enough how perfect this place is - ALL the stars, two thumbs up, 10/10 would recommend!!!

We spent 5 amazing days in this heavenly condo. The views, location & amenities were amazing. Everything was as described and then some. Kitchen has all the necessary equipment, a/c worked a charm at night with through winds during the day, bathrooms are lovely and big and the place gets a daily cleaning. We arrived late at night due to congestion at Cancun airport and the process for getting access was seamless. The small, quaint town of Akumal is within walking distance as is a cenote/ lagoon, and some great restaurants. The beach in front of the condo is lovely, the sea is great, snorkeling is terrific and yes there is sargassum seaweed, but it gets swept up every morning by the condo staff. If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet vacation, away from the crowds but near to some amazing attractions (like Chichen Itza), then this condo is for you.

Gratitude. Wow. Felt like we picked up our home and moved it to the beach…….only it was even nicer. The decor, contents and layout were above and beyond. This was our first air B and B and I never expected anything close to this. My daughter has been to a number of them and says this was WAY above normal. The owners, property managers and cleaning staff were 10/10. If I win the lottery I’m buying the place. Felt like I won just being able to stay there. Worth twice the price.

We have stayed in many AIrBnBs in various places and Turtle's Nest tops all of the rest, and not just because of the unparallelled view and beach access. Libby and Paul put such care into their place, thinking through so many conveniences and comforts, like providing shampoo, sunscreen and coffee. The large couch was comfy, the decor was lovely and homey. They were quick to respond when we had questions -- and having Dr. Esquivel do your COVID test before flying home is the move! We rented a car in Cancun (highly recommend, no problems driving), spent 10 glorious days, snorkled throughout Half Moon Bay, visited Chichen Itza and Tulum (next time, Coba!), enjoyed several cenotes (Azul and Eden were our favorites -- go in the a.m. before the crowds come), did a Mezcal and Mole tasting (very fun!), hung out on Xpu Ha beach (lunch on the beach at Serenity Club was surprisingly delicious and fresh) and just relaxed and read on the beach in front of the condo, listening to the sound of the surf. The North Akumal area is lovely and quiet. We enjoyed several meals at La Lunita just down the beach (our favorite, many delicious vegan options for one of our son) and loved Casa del Pueblo in Akumal Pueblo -- best pico de gallo we've ever had, and the giant serving of fish and octopus ceviche was delcious and a meal in itself. Everyone we met was lovely, warm and friendly. Go!

Probably one of the best Airbnb’s we have stayed at easily! Loved all the personal touches and design of the entire space, it felt like a home away from home. The hosts were such quick communicators as well!

The Airbnb had amazing ocean views and such a peaceful area. The ocean in front of the complex was so calm. We rented a bike from the front office to go around town! Definitely wished we could’ve stay longer and we will come back again!

Libby and Paul's condo was a great spot to spend the week enjoying the ocean. The condo itself was very clean and cozy with many thoughtful touches. The beds were comfortable and the bedroom A/C units helped us stay cool while sleeping. The view of the ocean is great and you can hear the waves from every room! The beach in front of the condo was very relaxing and the water was perfect for swimming. The ocean floor is a bit rocky right in front of the condo, so water shoes may be helpful for walking in and out. The location is great, with a couple restaurants within a short walk, more about a mile away, and about a 20 minute drive to Tulum. We worked part of the week and the wifi worked well for voice calls, streaming, etc. Overall, a great spot!

I highly recommend this AirB&B. It's very cozy and comfortable. The decor is Spanish-style and makes you feel like you are really in Mexico. It's in a nice central area for activities it's a 20 min drive to Tulum. High recommend renting a car in Mexico! It allows you to explore and made us feel safe having control of where and when we were leaving. Plenty of local food near the airB&B within a 5 min drive of the airB&B. The host was incredibly nice and stayed in constant communication with me before and during my stay. I really appreciated them checking in on me the day I arrived since I was traveling alone that one day. They even had a cleaning service included in the rental. It was nice to have them come in and tidy up while we were away exploring. My favorite part was waking up in the morning with some nice local coffee and watching the sunrise on the balcony. Throughout the condo, you can also hear the waves crashing all through the day and night which was incredible. I have nothing but great things to say about my experience staying here. Thank you Libby and Paul

The property was well maintained and was just like the photos online. Appliances were updated and worked.
We had not visited since 2003 and was happy to see that Half Moon Bay had not changed as much as other places had, it was still pristene with a quite tranquility that we were hoping for. Half Moon Bay still has a very healthy reef to snorkel both north and south sides of the bay. The condo building’s outside gardens were beautifully manicured and our daily maid service was welcomed and appreciated. The large bedroom with king bed does need a new ceiling fan, only thing that didn’t work. All A/C units worked fine. We enjoyed swimming at Yal Ku lagoon.

The condo was an excellent choice. The sunrises were beautiful, and the location was close enough for us to do everything we wanted to do. It had all the amenities of home. The Master Bedroom and shower were amazing. We enjoyed our 8 nights here. The only improvement I could suggest is to fix the stove and oven. The burners did not burn hot, and took a long time to heat up a pan, and the oven would not come up to temperature.

4th visit always so relaxing and as we have gotten to know the area better and better we are still finding amazing things to do. We chose this condo thinking it would be clean comfortable and well priced. It was all that more. Akumal Direct was great and the condo had little touches which made us feel like the owner cared about their guests. We will for sure be back! Super comfy and attention to detail. Of course even w a bit of sargasso view was fantastic!

We had a lovely nine days in Playa Blanca #4 on Half Moon Bay. This was our fourth trip to Akumal, and we thoroughy enjoyed this apartment. Very comfortable and really well-equipped. The perfect location, steps from the beach, and between the two restaurants. It's an easy walk to into Akumal. No complaints at all.

Perfect location right on the beach with the best equipped kitchen and thoughtful amenities I’ve ever had in a rental. For people who love to cook there was nothing missing - great knives, blenders, pans, quality dish ware, even a few starter spices and the reverse osmosis water is a great eco feature to eliminate plastic bottles. Staff were attentive and responded immediately when AC in the back bedroom broke & they brought in a new unit and repaired it within hours. A great unit to rent & enjoy a Mexican getaway.
