Casa Tranquillo was absolutely delightful! The house had all the amenities we needed for our children (5 and 10), including beach toys, boogie boards, etc. Craig was incredibly helpful and always available, and the caretaker did a wonderful job of maintaining the house. The beach is amazing, the water is so warm, and while the surf was a bit rough while we were there, there was no undertow and the kids had a great time. We felt very safe walking back from the many nearby restaurants in the evenings. The nearby ruins and cenotes were great to visit, and we had an amazing day at Xel-Ha. We hope to come back soon! Best family vacation we've had! Thanks Mike and Craig!

We had a great time in Tulum. Casa Tranquillo is in a perfect location. We felt very safe and everything we needed was very close to us. Thanks to Craig and Manual for all the time and attention that they gave us. It is wonderful to know that you can call someone and they will come right over to talk care of any problems. I thought I forgot to turn off the coffee pot and with one call Craig went over to check for me. The house in spacious, beautiful with a beautiful beach front. Tulum and the neighboring towns have many interesting sites to see and activities that can keep you busy if you are tired of the beach. We ran out of time to do everything we wanted so I guess we will have to go back for another visit. I would recommend Casa Tranquillo for anyone who wants to stay at rustic location with all the amenities of home.

We have visited Tulum several times and have stayed at various hotels along the beach. We have two teenagers and a baby so we have a lot of different needs when traveling. I must say that we really enjoyed our stay in Casa Tranquillo. It's a big 3 bedroom house with nice balconies and a roof terrace. There is everything you need, including a bbq, toys for the kids and comfortable beach lounge chairs. Craig ,the property manager and co-owner who is an American living in Tulum ,made sure that we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. He even met us in the main town to help us find the property since we arrived late and it was dark. The house provides a cell phone so if there are any issues or things that you need, Craig will sort you out. Manuel is the gardener who shows up every day, rakes any seaweed or things washed up in front of the beach, sweeps all the loose sand that blows on to the steps, takes away the garbage and makes sure everything is in perfect order. He also cuts a mean coconut and is very friendly with kids.
I would recommend this house for families with kids. The house is not babyproofed but does have a new playpen and baby cot so little ones can sleep or play on the beach. There are lots of beach toys so no need to bring any. The outdoor table on the beach is a great place to hang out and eat. Walking distance to some of the better places to eat on Tulum beach, such as Posada Margherita.

This was our second visit, and we hope to return. The house is very comfortable, clean, and well maintained, the owners are responsive and reliable, and it is located on one of the best beaches in the "Mexican Riviera". Highly recommended.

This is a real gem. Craig, the owner, makes you feel so welcome you almost feel like you're just borrowing an old friend's beach house. He's always accessible on the phone, and a pleasure to deal with. We were a group of 5 - 3 adults and 2 small kids - and we had more than enough room. All the bedrooms are spacious - the upstairs ones are massive. It's perfect for a big family (or 2 smaller ones), but would also work for a few couples to share as well. Kitchen is basic, but worked just fine for us for a few meals. Propane BBQ is also a plus. The place feels very secure - you can lock it up tight and there is an alarm system... But you will feel very safe in this area anyway. The location is great - midway down the main Tulum beach. There's a mostly unused property to the north, and La Luna to the south - a small hotel - so you have plenty of space on the beach to yourself. Tulum town is a quick drive away and worth visiting, especially for meals. The house is right on the beach, so there's normal wear-and-tear from the salt air but the place is very well cared for. I'd go back in a heartbeat, I had high hopes after reading all the other reviews and it more than lived up to our expectations.

My family and I spent 8 amazing and blessed days at the Tranquillo beach house in Tulum..!

The house is a dream, surrounded by palm trees and with a precious beach right there in front of your eyes..! It was really a very special vacation, full of God´s beauty all around us and a peace that you can't find anywhere... A jewel of a place really..!

The owners, Mike and Craig are beautiful people and very, very helpful .. they were always ready to help and guide us if we had any questions. Their service was excellent!
Manuel, their gardener and handyman.... a blessing also...! Always smiling, nice and friendly..!

The hole experience was a gift from God really... We would definitely go back when we have a new chance to be able to go and spend more amazing days there on their unique Tranquillo house beach!

Thank you Craig and Mike for letting us share your beautiful spot..!
May the Lord bless many as they choose to go spend their holidays there in Tulum..!

We stayed at Casa Tranquillo for Christmas this year(2012) and had a fabulous time. What we appreciated most was the location and the large property which provided lots of private space. At Christmas with the beach being fairly busy this was huge bonus. The different sitting/lounging areas were great, the roof deck for morning yoga and sunrises as well as happy hour, the palapa with swings on the beach for breakfasts and lunches and the lounging chairs with lots of shade available for reading and relaxing. The outdoor shower made swimming at the beach very practical. Manuel looks after the beachfront well, cleaning away all seaweed and debris daily.
The three large bedrooms and two bathrooms worked out well for our group of 7, grandparents, parents and kids (three 15 year olds).We cooked dinner a few times over our ten day stay but chose to take advantage of the fun surrounding (but sometimes pricey) restaurants on most evenings. Craig was super helpful in giving tips for meals, places to go and some general knowledge of the area. We had been to Tulum twice before and allot of Craig’s input was new and interesting for us.
It was great to have the use of the boogie boards which we used daily as well as the kayaks
Casa Tranquillo is truly a beachfront paradise, if you are looking to get away from the crowds, have a private space and spectacular beach then this is the place to go!

Thanks so much Craig & Mike, we hope to be back some day!!
