9 Gorgeous Airbnbs in Cancun for a Fabulous Vacation

1. Beachfront Condo With Terrace Walkout

Since the beach is one of the main highlights of Cancun, it only makes sense to stay as close to the sandy shores as possible. And you can’t get much closer than this beachfront condo! You’ll only need to walk down the stairs and past the pool before you reach Playa Tortugas.

Plus, the location of this condo is close to other fantastic Cancun activities. You can head up to the top of the Scenic Tower Cancun, enjoy a pirate-themed dinner cruise on Galeón Capitán Hook, or venture into the excitement of the Hotel Zone.

And while the prime location is definitely the main highlight, the condo itself is nothing to balk at either. You can enjoy your morning coffee out on the patio, relax in the living room filled with natural light, eat together at the dining table for eight, and go for a swim in the picture-perfect oceanfront pool.

Guest Review: Frank’s place is at a perfect location, very easy to get around with public transportation and walking distance to awesome bars and restaurants. His place is great, very clean and has everything you need. Frank was also very helpful since the beginning, available at all times whenever I had any questions. I 100 percent recommend it to anyone visiting Cancún! I’ll definitely be back!

The villa has its own gate, and we felt super safe with the surrounding. The front beach is so amazing.

This spacious condo at Casa La Ceiba fully embraces the idea of an open floorplan. The well-equipped kitchen, comfortable living room, and dining table for four are all in the large main room. And the welcoming bedroom with two double beds is just past a pair of sliding wooden barn doors.

And at the end of the day, you can curl up in the comfy king bed.
