About this property

Work and Play on the Beach!

Enjoy the former home of one of Akumal's beloved artists! This condo exudes Akumal's quaint Mexican beach charm as the reknown artist, Richard Mazzola decorated the condo with his latest inspirations. And as his personal home for multiple months per year, the condo is perfectly outfitted for both work and play and also for simple relaxing!

Located in the gorgeous La Sirena complex, the spacious ground floor 2 bedroom Lauritamar is directly on Half Moon Bay with incredible ocean views with floor to ceiling front windows providing great views of the bay with snorkeling right out your back door.

Artistry abounds with classic Mexican talavera tile craftsmanship, stunning hand painted murals on both the walls of the master bedroom and on the patio, unique hand painted and sculpted internal stair steps, and fascinating handcrafted painted mermaid tile collages. It's all incredible!

For your comfort, the condo is well equipped with a Mexican kitchen containing modern appliances and all the counter space you need to prepare that fresh caught Mahi! There is plenty of comfortable seating in the dining area and a pass through window over the kitchen sink makes serving your guests delicious snacks or drinks on the screened in porch simple and fun!

For seating and entertaining, enjoy with the screened porch and/or the living room both with comfortable seating. And of course, the living area has a great entertainment system: a large SMART TV, Blue Ray player, Netflix and sound system! The high speed internet connection via fiber optic cable makes it easy to work or for gaming.

Like the main living area, the bedrooms are each special in their own way. The master has a full sized king bed with a beautiful mural headboard by Richard Mazolla and is a quiet relaxing retreat. It has a large picture window for beach viewing that can be closed off with custom wood shutters. The master also has its own on-suite bathroom.

Off the short hall is a 2nd bathroom convenient for guests and the 2nd bedroom. The 2nd bedroom also has a comfortable king bed. And of course, we have great American bed and bath linens as well as beach towels.

Beautifully maintained and located on one of the more private beaches in Akumal. Sit on your private beachside patio or take a dip in Akumal's largest pool that includes a lap lane surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens.

Akumal is sixty miles south of Cancun International Airport, south on the four lane, newly renovated highway 307. Half Moon Bay (HMB), we are located, is considered the 'original' Akumal, along with Akumal Bay. Akumal means place of the turtle in Maya, as this area truely is!

HMB, now called 'North Akumal' is where most of the beach front houses and small condo complexes are; and is a designated ecological zone, therefore it is very low density. While you are close to everything; it is very private and quieter.

North Akumal is also the home of the famous Yal-Ku lagoon, and we are the closest complex to it: just a 3 minute walk! We are a quiet, laid-back area focused on our beautiful bay and beaches, snorkeling and pristine diving. Close by are Mayan ruins, golf, nature parks, cenotes, even active nightlife. Akumal is a protected reef area and water shoes are a MUST to enjoy the water.

And to make your vacation even more stress free, we can help with airport transfers, groceries and even tour planning! Let us know what you wish!

As a reminder, we follow a seasonal cancellation policy. As there are constant changes being made by the OTAs, this may not always be reflected properly in their system. As an integrated partner with proven exceptional service and fairness, our Rental Agreement takes precedence. For Details see our rule or feel free to ask Ask Questions.

LauritaMar Stay
We just spent 7 days at LauritaMar condo in Akumal. Everything about our stay there was great! We were on the lower level beachfront with great views of Half Moon Bay. Mornings and evenings on the outer patio were refreshing ways to start and finish our days. The property is very well kept with daily maid service. We plan on being back next year and would recommend LauritaMar to anyone thinking of vacationing in Akumal!

review
great place to stay, Check in was a bit of a problem as i did not get a crucial email telling me the lock box key code. I arrived late and was just lucky to have someone who lived there helped me. Was not aware i needed a lock box key as normally I did not arrive late and always someone was there. Other then this the place is great and ocean front. my kids said the king side bed not in masters was hard. maybe consider a mattress topper. Franchesca was amazing. she looks after your needs and trouble shoots the building. ocean is right out side your patio door. Nice site and pool and grounds. i will stay again.

Completely adorable
When the listing says it is steps from the water, it really means it steps from the water. There is fair snorkeling when the water is not too rough. We saw flounder, octopus, and rays. Of course, the lagoon is a two minute walk. The apartment was cuter in person than it was online. It’s basically several cottages and an apartment building clustered around a pool. There was a place for a rental car, and pretty decent Costco and pier one imports stocked kitchen implements. We will definitely keep this place in mind for a repeat trip.
