VILLA SUNRAY: A BEACHFRONT GEM IN AKUMAL
Formerly known as Casa Gray, Villa Sunray has a new name, a fresh look, and the same unbeatable location—right in the heart of Aventuras Akumal Beach, one of the most breathtaking beaches in the Riviera Maya.

A ONE-OF-KIND BEACH RETREAT
Blending Mexican artisan charm with a vibrant tropical aesthetic, Villa Sunray is unlike any other. Its stunning five (and counting) exterior murals, painted by world-renowned artists from the Akumal Arts Festival, create an atmosphere that is colorful, unique, and completely Insta-worthy.
Step right from your patio onto powdery white sand and into the crystal-clear Caribbean waters, famous for incredible snorkeling—no boat needed!

THE PERFECT LAYOUT FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
This beachfront escape features a spacious three-bedroom, three-bath main house, plus a separate two-bedroom, two-bath casita—ideal for larger groups, multi-generational families, or anyone wanting extra privacy.
Inside, a sunken living room, charming dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen flow seamlessly together, creating a bright and airy space for everyone to gather—without feeling crowded.

BREATHTAKING VIEWS AND OUTDOOR BLISS
Expansive windows frame postcard-perfect ocean views, while sliding glass doors open onto a shaded beachside patio. Step outside and sink your toes into the softest white sand, shaded by gently swaying palm trees.
The large private pool is surrounded by inviting lounging areas, including a shaded conversation nook—perfect for morning coffee. Two outdoor dining tables provide the perfect setting for light lunches, sunset cocktails, or chilled cervezas.
Fire up the charcoal grill for an evening cookout, letting the mouthwatering aroma of juicy sizzling meats and buttery shrimp fill the air.

MEET ¨BERYL¨ - THE BEACH´S FAVORITE MYTHICAL CREATURE
A whimsical gift from Hurricane Beryl, this massive piece of driftwood has become a beloved local landmark. Depending on your perspective, she looks like a snake, a lizard, or even a dolphin! Kids (and adults) will love the chance to climb, play, and take fun photos with her.

PRIVATE AND COMFORTABLE BEDROOMS
When it’s time to unwind, retreat to your private air-conditioned bedroom, each thoughtfully named and designed to reflect its mineral-inspired theme:
Main House Bedrooms:
• Lapis Wave (First Floor Master): Ocean view, King bed + optional twin trundle, en-suite bath,

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been renting villas once a year for our annual family trip (5 adults and 3 kids - 1.5y, 3y and 5y). This house was great since it was right on the beach and had a pool and enough bedrooms for everyone. The owner/manager came to see up shortly after arriving and gave us very helpful information, he was also very responsive and very nice. Jose, the caretaker is a gem, very very nice and is always there to help anyway he can. THE PROPERTYWhile the house is fully equipped and offers all you may need to make yourself comfortable, there are a few elements that I would like to point out for the readers appreciation, the A/Cs units are only located in the bedrooms therefore none in the family room but if you open the sliding doors a beautiful draft comes in and cools down the area nicely. The smaller house is located at the front of the property therefore does not have any beach access and during the entire duration (despite opening the windows and putting the fans on) there was a sewage smell in the house. The toilets required many tried to fully evacuate. The pool is very close to the house therefore if you have any young kids like us make sure you keep the doors locked or they only leave the house with floaties. The beach is great, no rock which was one of the main reason why we booked this place versus our last which was in Akumal. The only downfall is that there were lots of waves which brought LOTS of seaweeds and it was never cleaned for us. LOCATIONThe location is only great because of the condition of the beach. There are two resorts and one small restaurant around. If you are looking to stay in the villa and be on the beach and not go anywhere during your stay then this would not affect you. However, the road to access the property is in TERRIBLE CONDITION some of us even had to exit the car and walk it (600m)because the holes are so bad. At night we missed the area e

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house a guest house was perfect for a family of nine adults and 3 small children. The beach was perfect with soft sand and great snorkeling. The housekeeper Jose was extremely attentive and brought ice when required as well as keeping the houses clean daily. We had a couple small,problems with the refrigerator, which Jose did fix but we did loose some perishables until that was done. Also we had some heavy rain and there was a couple of leaks. The rental company was quick to assist with reimbursement of one nights rent due to this inconvenience. On the whole I would recommend but make sure you get groceries before you arrive as the supermarket is about 20 minutes drive away and no close convenient stores. We used the colectivos to get into tulum and visit a local cenote as taxis are very expensive.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had three generations during Christmas break vacation. The location of this house worked out well. We have stayed in Akumal Aventuras before. Although, if you want to go to Akumal you really have to go out to the highway to drive. Akumal has blown up, so overwhelmed by tourism (it was Xmas vacation). We were here the first time 30 years ago, so we have seen the radical changes. This was our 4th visit (probably last). It was great to have our own beach and pool. The house was located and set up to enjoy being at the beach. The house is nothing fancy. It is older and really a beach house. Three bedrooms in the house facing the beach. The one downstairs bedroom opens up with glass doors into the family room. Of so private. Minimum sized bathrooms nice breezes so we never used the A/C. The two bedrooms in the casita are closer to the road, but are quiet and spacious. It is actually a second unit. Full kitchen. Nice bathrooms. It is not decorated, quite spare in fact. Clean and modern. Rhett met us the first day and did a thorough and helpful orientation. We didn’t need anything so that was our only contact. We did have raccoons come Iino the house through an open window atnight and tearing the screen. No bugs to speak of and few mosquitoes. Excellent. It would be nice to have access to the washer and dryer. Jose, who does maintenance doesn’t work Sundays, or New Year’s Day and another day the washer had to be replaced. We were getting pretty grimy after a full week. All in all everyone was happy with the house and location. I paid the bill. It was Christmas vacation, but $1,600 a night is hard to swallow. Mexico’s cost of living has blown up. It must be very difficult for the locals. Makes Hawaii look relatively more affordable.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were a bit worried about our stay based on a recent google review, but we had a wonderful time. The property is fairly updated (but still with some authentic charm) and provided all the amenities we needed. We had an issue the first night with AC and the TV and it was promptly fixed the next day. It poured the second day we were there and we didn't notice any leaking, the rooms were dry.Jose was always so helpful and the meal he cooked for us was amazing (I wish we had him do more). It was so nice having them come in daily to clean as no matter how hard we tried, sand got tracked in.It was such a beautiful property and was really great with kids (3 under 5). You can snorkel right off the beach - they have masks and flippers there. Some day's the ocean was very rough, but we just walked up the beach a bit to find a calmer spot. It was quiet and private and just amazing. My only complaint is the road going in is SOOOOOOOOOOOO bumpy.. but that is out of their control
