The space
Our home has a private patio, small yard and plunge pool. There is more space on the comfortably furnished, rooftop deck for relaxing with a cool beverage under the stars or your morning coffee while listening to the birds come to life. Inside you have a ceiling of skylights in the dining area that provides lots of natural light. The master suite has over-sized glass doors opening onto the patio, which makes coffee in bed a great option. For those occasional rainy days, there are 3 large screen TV's and plenty of game options, along with a guitar for those with skills and those without (those without might refrain from strumming outdoors. ;-) The easy entry first floor living area of our home makes it ideal for anyone with mobility issues
The neighborhood
TAO has a holistic center offering classes in, yoga, meditation, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Zumba and Pilates, steam baths, 2 infinity pools, exercise pool, lap pool and gym. You can take part in a Temazcal Ceremony along with other rejuvenating treatments. There is a small snack bar offering healthy options, smoothies and a light breakfast. Because our home is located in the 5 star Bahia Principe Residential Community, you will also have access to the resort with the purchase of a day pass or individual passes for breakfast lunch and dinner. The resort is also home to a beautiful Robert Trent Jones II golf course and club house. All of these amenities are accessible without leaving the security of the gated community if you are not comfortable doing so. Staying with us gives you options. Spend the day in our private home relaxing on the patio or rooftop and cooling off in the plunge pool, spend the day relaxing at the resort or sample local eateries, sites and adventures around the area. The TAO Beach Club, which houses "Jungle Fish" is a great option and only a 10 minute drive. Spend the day here and enjoy the sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach along with the restaurant/bar and pool and have access to bathrooms and shower. Akumal bay with more dining and shopping options and great snorkeling, is a short walk down the beach from Jungle Fish. The Tulum ruins, town of Tulum and Tulum beach road, is just a 15 minute drive south. The beach road is a beautiful stretch of white sand beaches on the blue Caribbean sea, dotted with small eateries, shops and yoga studios with plenty of Bohemian vibe. The whole Riviera Maya is covered with magical cenotes of which you should make a priority to visit at least one. Floating through and exploring the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve is another great adventure not to be missed. Hire a tour guide for this adventure. Playa Del Carmen with every kind of shop and eatery imaginable is only a 30 minute drive north. From here you can hop on a ferry to Cozumel for a day trip. Travel inland 1 - 2 hours for more Mayan ruins and archaeological sites, which are still being discovered. Water parks, jungle adventures, atv rides, parasailing, windsurfing, ziplines, fishing, scuba, snorkeling, yoga classes, cooking classes, take your pick, our home is in the middle of it all, so come and be our guests and enjoy our place as much as we do.

Short Trip to Akumal
We came to this townhouse after another rental gone bad. Sandy was so helpful throughout our stay. The house was incredibly clean, bright and wonderful. We loved the area and this house redeemed our trip!

Baby Vacation
This property exceeded our expectations! We brought our adult children and new grand baby. Having our own private pool was amazing in the heat. Lots of outdoor space. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Beds were comfortable. Can't wait to come back!

Great experience!
We were very happy with our stay. Both the owner and property manager were very communicative about any of our concerns.We were very pleased with Sandy (owner)and Darren (property manager) and all the helpers.Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The property is well maintained and very tropical. There are 2 pools nearby. The plunge pool is cleaned 3 times a week.There is a shuttle to Kay Beach accessible from the nearby entrance gate. We did have a car to explore other restaurants and get groceries from the Chadraui (grocery store) in Puerto Aventuras and Tulum.However it did take us awhile for get used to driving on the 307 highway and finding our way. A gps is a good thing to have. Good experience overall!

A lovely place to spend our week
We had such a nice time at this property. The private patio and plunge pool were where we spent alot of our time. The beds were comfie, it was clean and the kitchen was perfect and well stocked. Was nice to be able to do our laundry! There were lots of towels and a cute little rooftop patio. We got day passes at the main lobby of the hotel and drove over to the other side and had some beautiful beach time. The hotel also offers a shuttle right from the lobby of Sian Kaan to the other three Bahias. The only struggle we had was finding the townhouse in the dark, we could have used more specific directions as it’s hard to see signs at night.

Very quiet. Very clean. Very enjoyable. The property manager was wonderful. We rented a car to explore Akumal, Tulum, and lots of other little gems. Which I would absolutely recommend.

Beautiful Jungle Oasis
The property was wonderful. Darren the property manager was quick to respond to all our questions. We enjoyed the plunge pool and coffee on the roof top terrace! It was so peaceful, but close enough to the action of Tulum, Playa del Carmen, and Akumal. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!!!

Wonderful Vacation Home
My husband and I stayed at Sandy's house for 3 weeks in March. Regrettably, due to the pandemic, we needed to cut our vacation short by 1 week. We found this town home to be spacious, clean, comfortable and very well equipped. We like to cook and the kitchen had everything we needed to make a nice meal. I loved the gas stove. Bedrooms were spacious, beds were comfortable and bed linens and towels were plentiful and of high quality. We enjoyed the outside area and having the plunge pool was really nice. We loved having access to the resort amenities. The pools within TAO were great and we met and had fun with a lot very friendly people. The area is safe and great for walking. My husband and I enjoy walking and travelling on the local collectivos, however I think most people would want to rent a car. Darren, the property manger, and his staff provided us with exceptional service. Darren replied quickly to all of our inquires and provided us with anything we needed. His staff were friendly and demonstrated a real willingness to help us enjoy our vacation.
