One-of-a-Kind Akumal Villa – Eclectic Design, Pool & Private Lagoon Access

  • Casa del Sol, un lugar de referencia de Akumal y una de nuestras casas favoritas.



    Casa del Sol es conocida por su excelente ubicación, justo en las cabeceras de la laguna Yal-Ku, muy privada y por su decoración ecléctica funky. Anteriormente propiedad de la banda The Grateful Dead, esta casa es perfecta para grupos grandes o familias, y ha acogido a algunas celebridades de renombre en su época. Casa del Sol se puede alquilar con hasta cinco habitaciones y puede alojar hasta 13 personas cómodamente.



    La cocina al aire libre y el área de estar en el lado de la laguna de la propiedad son ideales para entretenimientos y reuniones familiares. El acceso a la laguna es muy fácil, simplemente por el sendero del jardín y cruzando su propio puente privado hacia el agua fresca y clara de Yal-Ku, donde puede hacer snorkel con los peces durante todo el día. También hay un fabuloso patio en el techo, medio cubierto por una palapa y medio abierto al sol y las estrellas, donde puede sentarse rodeado de la laguna y la selva.



    Casa del Sol es bien conocida por los numerosos murales únicos pintados en toda la casa que resaltan la historia maya y la belleza natural de la zona. ¡Esta casa es verdaderamente única y se presta muy bien a personas que simplemente "pasan el rato" juntas y la pasan muy bien! Merily y Obideo, los cuidadores, hacen un excelente trabajo. Son muy encantadores y cuidarán muy bien de ti. También están disponibles para preparar comidas por un cargo adicional, que le recomendamos que pruebe.



    Casa del Sol ofrece muchos servicios que incluyen una piscina y una palapa al lado de la laguna con muchas hamacas y sillones para descansar la tarde. También tiene una cascada con su propia piscina pequeña en el lado de la laguna de la propiedad. La refrescante cascada es un lugar maravilloso para darse un masaje acuático después de nadar en la laguna, y también es ideal para que los niños jueguen en la piscina cuando se desconecta la cascada. A los niños también les encanta jugar en el área de la playa de arena construida para este fin, junto a la laguna y la palapa. Hay duchas al aire libre y un baño para el enjuague después del snorkeling y tanques para enjuagar su equipo.

    Casa del Sol ofrece 5 habitaciones y puede alojar cómodamente a 13 personas. Hay 2 dormitorios en el segundo nivel. Una habitación tiene 2 camas individuales y 1 doble, la otra tiene 1 cama doble y 1 cama individual. Cada habitación tiene un baño privado y aire acondicionado. El Master está en el tercer nivel con una cama tamaño king, escritorio, baño privado, aire acondicionado y un patio privado cubierto con palapa. Para dormir adicional, hay una casita en la planta baja con cama king size, baño privado, estufa y fregadero, y aire acondicionado. También hay un dormitorio en la torre con una cama doble, aire acondicionado y excelentes vistas. También hay hamacas en la azotea, ducha y aseo. También hay un baño fuera de la zona del patio principal. Hay un televisor / DVD / satélite en el salón principal. AC en habitaciones solamente.

We hired them to cook for us and started missing the wonderful meals they made as soon as we got back home.

Matriarch’s (haha!) 80th birthday celebration!

We loved the abundance of outdoor living space, private access from every room to a place to sit and enjoy a view or the company of another. Love, loved the private access to the Lagoon. We really appreciated the wall murals and artful decor. We will recommend this experience to friends.

The access to the lagoon is a bonus (go before 10 or after 4 when everyone else is gone). We used the Chef Services for most breakfasts and several dinners and were never disappointed. The location at the end of the road makes for a private and peaceful stay.

All of the rooms were comfortable, the house well stocked and appointed and the communication with managers and staff was quick and responsive. It exceeded our expectations and we didn’t want to leave.

Lovely Family Vacation at Casa Del Sol

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 had a great family vacation at Casa Del Sol. The house is well equipped to accommodate a large family and beautifully decorated. We loved having direct access to Yal kul lagoon. We enjoyed each morning with a cup of coffee and binoculars checking out all the birds and watching the sun rise. We would snorkel every morning and afternoon and was such a delight to swim with all the tropical fish in a protected lagoon. Our caretakers were great and they did an amazing job cooking for our family and I would highly suggest that. Also we had a golf carts and transportation services arranged through accommodations and that went great too

Spacious Accommodations and Tropical Fish!

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: Casa del Sol is a fabulous property. The accommodations are spacious and comfortable and the management staff are friendly and helpful. It is one of only 3 properties that have private access to Yalku Lagoon, which is amazing because you feel like you have the lagoon to yourself during off hours. Snorkle gear is provided, though not needed, as you can watch a multitude of colorful tropical fish right from the rocks. I could have spent my entire vacation on this property, only venturing out on a bike (also provided), to dine at one of the many delicious restaurants nearby. I hope I have the opportunity to book this property again (and again, and again) in the future.

a Gem in Akumal

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 stayed here for a family vacation in 12/2023 for 12 days. There was plenty to do for all ages- older family members sat around the beautiful outdoor areas of the property, teenagers were enjoying the nature, swimming, got certified diving, explored the town which was very safe. The property is very special- direct access to a beautiful calm lagoon for snorkeling, where you see many schools of fish, but my favorite part was seeing the beautiful birds in the lagoon around sunset. Yal ku lagoon is also at the end of Akumal away from all of the tourists that come in for Akumal Bay. There were day tours coming to the lagoon but in the morning and especially the afternoon we had it mostly to ourselves. Yal ku lagoon was my favorite part of Akumal, although we also did some diving (dos Ojos cave diving was very cool), went to Chichinitza, and also did the recommended Santa Cruz cenote tour which was awesome. The house chefs were also great- very worth the price- really sweet couple. You can also easily walk to nearby restaurants and around the town, and we also had golf carts. The house manager was available for anything we needed. Would highly recommend and we will definitely stay here again. Not a single complaint!

Great space and service

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 had a great week at this villa with a party of four adults and four kids. Once you pass through the arch in the tourist part of Akumal, it feels like you're in a resort-- safe and comfortable and relaxed.The villa was perfect for us-- spacious and very clean, without feeling opulent. The decor is particularly charming. The kitchens were adequately equipped for our cooking (we wished we had packed a citrus squeezer/juicer for making drinks). The cooking pans were all stainless steel, so unlike in other VRBOs we weren't confronted with scratched teflon. And the pantries included ample containers and lids for storing leftovers! Service was excellent. Housekeeping doesn't come on Sundays; on weekdays they were unobtrusive and thorough. They didn't take tips left during the week, either left on beds or in the designated tip box so we left a large tip at checkout. The concierge service was also great-- David answered several questions before our departure about the provisions in the villa, and one of our adults texted with a manager during the trip, who dropped by to check on us when one of the kids fell and broke her foot and needed medical care.We would definitely stay here again and recommend this property.

Beautiful Lagoon and Relaxing Accomodations

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: House was spacious and comfortable, and we enjoyed the storied past of the home. We spent a lot of time on the downstairs patio where is was the coolest with a nice breeze which made the humidity bearable but were able to retreat into cool bedroom air conditioning when it was too much. The small pool is lovely for a dip or staying wet in the heat and we got to know a number of iguanas residing around the area.Being able to walk down and hop into the cool lagoon and snorkel with the fish really was wonderful, and we did it everyday. The highlight of the vacation for a few of us. Going in early and late easily avoided the crowds and we got to know all the places where the fish were.A shout out to Merily, Obidio, and Leo who kept the house and grounds immaculate and tidy yet were so unobtrusive. Merily also did our laundry at our request for a small fee.The property Manager, Scott checked in very frequently and was very helpful with recommendations and suggestions. Communication was wonderful with the Akumal Direct team. Alex was able to coordinate us for 2 bookings for us, The Monkey Sanctuary and Snorkeling with turtles Bothe we enjoyed a lot.We highly recommend eating at the Buena Vida for lunch and dinner, we loved it there. The Jungle cafe was our breakfast spot. Rent a golf cart, you won't need you car in the local area but will easily be able to get around. Avoid the aggressive parking and snorkeling vendors on the road into town.Quiet and peaceful overall and we felt very safe in Akumal.

Wonderful stay at Casa del Sol

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 recently spent a week at Casa del Sol. From the moment we arrived at the Cancun airport, everything was seamless. The property manager contacted me with the map to the house and with suggestions where to stop for groceries or the bank, if needed. The house is exactly as depicted. The house has a lot of character, with very artistic decor which makes it unique. The location is ideal, with access to the lagoon through your back yard. The outdoor space is amazing with plenty of sitting and eating areas plus the pool, the Palapa with loungers and hammocks (great spot for bird watching) and fountains. Snorkels are available and were very handy since the lagoon offers an impressive variety of fish. It does get very busy with groups travelling with a tour guide, so it's best to go early in the morning of after 5.Every single space in the house was immaculate. The bedrooms and bathrooms were recently renovated and are beautiful. The beds are very comfortable and the linens of excellent quality. The caretakers, Obidio and Merily do a superb job and try their hardest to accommodate your every need. We tried some of Obidio's cooking for an extra fee and it was the best food we had during our stay. Highly recommended! We still did some cooking ourselves and the kitchens (both indoor and outdoor) are equipped with everything you might need. We have stayed at other vacation rentals, but Casa del Sol has been the best by far.

Fantastic Akumal vacation house!

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 2 families of 4 with boys aged 3-8 and found the Casa Del Sol to be a perfect setup for our akumal vacation. While Casa Del sol is certainly an older home, we found the layout and the character of the property exceeded our expectations. The house is extremely well equipped in the kitchen space both upstairs and downstairs. Lots of spaces for socializing and hanging out throughout the property. Neighborhood safe and property felt very safe for us with our 4 kids. Outdoor space and kitchen is a hosts dream and we found it very enjoyable cooking our all of our meals, having caretakers cook, or using as our general social/hangout area. Air conditioning worked fabulous in the bedrooms at night, and otherwise the breeze and windows provided plenty of airflow throughout all levels of the house during the day when not running AC. Pool was fantastic, waterfall was a fun/refreshing perk. Snorkeling off the back yard, while maybe not what it was 15 years ago, was so appreciated and enjoyed by kids and adults alike. As most are becoming familiar with, the Sargassum blooms can really affect the beach experience around riviera maya these days. Even with a huge bloom the week we visited, we could still snorkel most of yal ku without much disturbance. Great location to several restaurants walking, and short drive to Akumal Puebla. Fantastic meals at Tacos y Pastas, Taco Maya, and La Buena Vida. Already looking forward to our return. Thank you LocoGringo for the fantastic advice and help throughout our trip. Highly recommended!
