Description

Casa del Sol, an Akumal Landmark and one of our favorite houses!

Casa del Sol is well known for its great location, right at the headwaters of Yal-Ku Lagoon, very private, and for its funky eclectic decor. Previously owned by the band The Grateful Dead, this house is perfect for large groups or families, and has hosted some big name celebrities in its time.

The outdoor kitchen and living area on the lagoon side of the property are great for entertaining and family get-togethers. Access to the lagoon is very easy, just down the garden path and across your own private bridge into the cool clear water of Yal-Ku where you can snorkel with the fish all day long. There is also a fabulous roof patio, where you can sit surrounded by the lagoon and the jungle.

Casa del Sol is well known for the many unique murals painted throughout the house that highlight the area's Maya History and Natural Beauty. This house is truly one of a kind and lends itself very well to people just "hanging out" together and having a great time! Merily, Obideo and Leo the caretakers, do an excellent job. They are very charming and will take excellent care of you. Obideo is also available to prepare meals for an additional fee, which we highly recommend you try.

Casa del Sol offers many amenities including a swimming pool and a lagoon side palapa with plenty of hammocks and lounge chairs for snoozing away the afternoon. It also has a waterfall with its own tiny dipping pool on the lagoon side of the property. The refreshing waterfall is a wonderful place to give yourself a water massage after a swim in the lagoon, and it's also great for kids to play in the dipping pool when the waterfall is switched off. There's an outdoor shower for rinsing off after snorkeling.

Casa del Sol offers 5 bedrooms and can sleep up to 13 people. There are 2 bedrooms on the second level. One room has 2 queen beds, the other has 1 king bed and 1 sofa bed which can be set up upon request. Each bedroom has a private bathroom and air conditioning. The Master is on the third level with a king bed, desk, private bathroom, air conditioning, and a private palapa covered patio. For additional sleeping, there is a casita downstairs with a king bed, private bathroom, and air conditioning. There is also a tower bedroom with a queen bed, air conditioning, and great views! There is also a roof top with an outdoor shower and toilet. There is a smart TV in the main living area, master bedroom, and both 2nd level bedrooms. AC in the living room and in the bedrooms.

Comes with 4 bicycles for guest use.

Would definitely recommend your place to anyone! We felt so welcome and cared for throughout our stay by the housekeepers and hosts, Scott and Katie. Loved the artwork throughout the premises and the attention to details like the shampoo/conditioner bars and bamboo toothbrushes. Really appreciated the potable water provided. The food prepared for us was Outstanding! Honestly better than the dinners we had out in restaurants. Really can’t say enough of our much we enjoyed our stay! The whole experience allowed us to truly have one of the most relaxing vacations ever!

A wonderful place for a family vacation. We were 8 adults, 3 young children and a baby. It is exactly like the pictures. A very beautiful yard. The staff are wonderful and we hired them to cook for us 3 nights. All great. Cheaper than eating out and plenty of food. The shrimp ceviche, grilled shrimp, and fajitas were amazing! Mucho Gracias! The snorkeling was fun. Go before 9:00 or after 4:00 to miss tourists. If it is calm go beyond the boys. We didn’t eat out at all so can’t comment. The Akumal Bakery has really good homemade ice cream. I would recommend buying your groceries in Playa before heading to Akumal. There is a general store and an OXXO but they have limited stock. All in all a beautiful location and home!

Casa del Sol is a great place for a family get together. Lots of space inside and out. Private pool, outdoor massage shower, and private access to the Yalku lagoon with great snorkeling. Obidio and Merilee keep the place exceptionally clean inside and out. And they are great cooks! They cooked several traditional meals for us to enjoy in the comfort of Casa del Sol. There are also great restaurants in easy walking distance. Beach access is a five minute walk. We highly recommend Casa del Sol.

What a fun house to stay in! So colorful! We had 9 people and there was plenty of space. The house is sprawling. The mattresses were firm but comfortable which I like. The kitchens are fully stocked. There were large bottles of filtered water in each of the kitchens which was fantastic. We used the outdoor kitchen the most which was so cool. Having private access to the lagoon saves time and money (I think $14/person/day). The palapa with hammocks was a favorite spot. The on site couple (Obidio and Merily) clean everyday and will cook for a price which we did for dinner one night and it was delicious! Marcia (with Akumal Direct) is extremely warm and responsive when asked questions about the house, places to order groceries to be there upon our arrival or excursions. There is a safe in the main bedroom. Thank you Akumal Direct for the good times! We hope to return one day!

Words can't even begin to describe this magical place...from the moment you walk in the doors you are transported to another world! The place is immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. Around every corner is something new to discover! Our favorite spot was the outdoor living area and kitchen where we had some of the best meals of the trip prepared by Obidio! The grounds are so amazing and we loved crossing the private bridge to snorkel in Yal Ku where we saw literally thousands of beautiful fish! This place is heaven on earth...we will definitely be back!

Casa Del Sol provided a wonderful family vacation for the 11 of us over the Christmas week. Although it was high season, when we were at the house it was tranquil and quiet. The lagoon, Caleta Yalku was beautiful, but did get crowded the week we were there. We had daily swims with snorkels and masks and it was filled with beautiful fish. It cleared at 5pm from it’s daily tours and we had it to ourselves until dark. The roof top was great for sunrises and sunsets.
We used the outside kitchen to gather and cook and Obidio made us amazing meals. We ate at the local restaurants, our two favorites are Que Onda and La Buena Vida, and ordered groceries for the rest of our meals. There are many iguanas at the house on the back patio. We had 2 golf carts and four bikes and used those for restaurants and market beach runs. We did not need a car having those. For excursions we booked with a local transportation service.

We would love to visit again.

The saying of “mi casa is su casa” didn’t sink in until I stayed there. Our family really did make it our home. We felt so comfortable and loved the lagoon access and rooftop views.
Obidio and Merryli (spelling?) are amazing. We had some great laughs as they cooked some of the best meals we had there. Those 2 added so much to our vacation.
I can’t imagine going to a all-inclusive resort where you never experience Mexico.
I loved the small town of Akumal (across the bridge) . What a tranquil and friendly place.
I can’t wait to come back.

This home is very spacious, nicely decorated, with two well equipped kitchens (our family of 8, all adults, prepared at least 1 meal per day with plenty of fridge, freezer space and dishes, silverware, and cookware) for 9 days. The bedrooms were all air conditioned and great rooms and outdoor living areas were comfortable with overhead fans. Marilee and Obidio, the daily staff, were helpful and kept the home very clean. The property, garden, and back yard were so cool and private, eclectic, and natural. There is a nice swimming pool, plenty of space to sunbath, a palapa for shade, walkways and meandering paths. But, the very best part of the Casa del Sol is the backyard access to the most magical Yal-Ku Lagoon. Birds, iguanas, lizards, can be seen everywhere above the water and the fish under the water will take your breath away! Snorkeling as soon as we woke in the morning was a favorite, as was the late afternoon evening, to watch the pelicans fishing within several yards of where you're snorkeling. We saw over 20 different varieties of fish, some amazingly colorful!

We had a wonderful stay here!

The aircon and fans worked beautifully. The beds were truly very comfortable! The place had everything we needed to cook simple meals. We felt utterly safe and welcomed by the people around us. The owner communicated well with us in answering any questions, and the neighbours too. The beach across the road was so beautiful! We rented a car and enjoyed the freedom to explore the area. Thoroughly recommend Casa del Sol.

We had a wonderful time at Casa Del Sol! It is a great place to slow down and relax. Not fancy but has everything we needed.

Fabulous beach in walking distance. Very authentic, low key Mexican town a short walk through the jungle. The people are very friendly and delightful. Jason is a very responsive and helpful host. Patricio and Elena on site are the sweetest, kindest people ever. Highly recommend!

We had a great visit at Casa del Sol. The host and his wonderful local caretakers responded rapidly whenever we needed anything. It was only a short drive to: Akumal's Half Moon Bay with its corals just off shore and an unusually fine restaurant La Lunita (on way to the Yal Ku lagoon), the superb public beach just south of the ruins in Tulum (passing a well stocked supermarket), and the interesting jungle ruins of Coba. The adjacent Xcacel beach may be the prettiest of all--just watch for falling coconuts in the white sand parking area there. We did not do cenote diving but the most acclaimed holes are in the immediate vicinity. The expat retiree neighbors were a cheerful bunch, inviting our daughter to Christmas and socializing with Chan Chemuyil's police officer who patrolled the town and Xcacel on her ATV. We'd love to return to Casa del Sol if we have the opportunity. Thank you Jason Manly!

It was completely as marketed and had everything we needed for the week, right down to the washing line to hang out our handwashing. The lovely extras such as bucket and spade for the 4YO for the beach came in handy, as did the beach chairs and towels - meant that our carry-on bag policy (from NZ!) worked out as we didn't have to take own towels etc. Within close proximity that all the Mayan Riviera offers, but far enough away from all the American flashy stuff of Cancun. Easy drive to Tulum and other local spots. We did an easy day trip to Cozumel Island from here. Jason was excellent with communications around the property and rental etc. We came from the south when we arrived, and he confirmed the directions to the property from that direction, so made it easy to find. The lady who looks after the house only speaks Spanish, but my minimal grip on the language was enough to comprehend her instructions on the usage of the fans or aircon units, and general information. Would happily return should we ever get the opportunity to do so. Oh - the beds were immensely comfortable - the best we had in the Yucatan (we stayed in hotels for the week before). The bed in the master bedroom must be a super king - it was fabulous!

Wonderful grounds - fantastic layout- wonderful beds!!! Beautiful pool! We were a family of 9 people from throughout the US. We had an awesome mini reunion. My hubby and I have been in Akumal numerous times and always wanted to stay here and it was perfect! The outside area of the house was perfect and the bedrooms were beautiful too. Obidio took great care of us. We also had him and his wife cook for us one night!

We stayed in Casa del Sol as a group of 8 adults and a 1 year old child. This house was the base for our trip and the perfect location to unwind and relax. It made for an incredibly easy vacation! We greatly enjoyed the comfortable beds, ample indoor and outdoor lounge spaces, the beautiful decor and design of each room, the pool, private lagoon access, and 4 bikes.

The staff kept the house incredibly clean and we used their private chef services one night for a delicious meal.

We hope to return in the future and highly recommend to anyone looking for a gorgeous well located home in Akumul!

Everything from the house ,to the grounds, to Obidio and Scott, to the absolutely awesome fact that Vince Welnick (grateful dead keys in the 1990s) was a previous owner was awesome and far exceeded out expectations.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I've stayed here twice for a week, and everyone loved the house. The lagoon access, large patio, and outdoor kitchen are the best parts, and I would never want to stay somewhere without them. The tower bedroom is really neat, though you'd better be prepared to sweat in the summer and fall. The beds are kinda hard and the wireless internet signal doesn't extend much beyond the patio, but I guess you shouldn't be spending a lot of time sleeping or on the computer here... The manager, Roger, is very helpful, and the caretaker, Obideo, is indeed an excellent chef.

The only dissatisfaction we had with Casa del Sol was the inadequate a/c unit in the Tower Bedroom. The view from there is magnificant, but my mother-in-law had to sleep in there and was very uncomfortable every night. The reservation process did not go smoothly and I often did not get responses to my emails prior to the trip. But once we arrived, everything went perfectly. Roger met us at the property and checked in on us every day. Obideo and Merily were there every day to prepare many delicious meals and keep the house tidy. They were all absolutely WONDERFUL!

Casa del Sol changed our lives.

This space is a profoundly beautiful and healing environment. We led a longterm retreat sharing meditation, dance and yoga here. This venue was ideal to host artists, healers and creatives from around the globe.

The geographic location is ideal tucked away in a peninsula on a legendary lagoon. Formally owned by thee Grateful Dead, you can feel that these walls have seen some wild things.

Swimming in these waters is healing, and when you put on goggles a whole new world is revealed. Tropical fish, underwater caves and manta rays oh my!!

The outdoor areas are top notch! The backyard is epic with a feeling of the essence of Mayan indigenous culture. There is a Jaguar head totem statue, waterfall, palapa, pool and wonderful covered patio space with an amazing atmosphere.

The house keepers Obideo and Merily are a husband and wife who live nearby, and maintain a pristine environment 6 days a week. They are so helpful, kind and sweet.

We were inspired, transformed and experienced time dissolve in this YOUnique vortex. Somedays felt like weeks as natures magick beckoned deep presence and expansive awareness. Wild animals would cross through the backyard daily with iguanas who called the border home, birds living in the trees, an array of mammals who would scoot through and even a hermit crab showed up one day!!

Casa del Sol's rooftop view is priceless. Time stands still for moment as you enter the eternal now.

I highly recommend this as a retreat for you, your family or group to escape the matrix and remember who you are and why you are here.

Magick happens at Casa del Sol.

This is a very unique house and the location on Yal Ku Lagoon is perfect during the hot part of the summer. It is also nice to get away from seasonal sargassum outbreaks.

Our part of 11 was comfortable in this well-equipped house. The staff kept the place very clean and . Having an outdoor kitchen to serve the downstairs public areas is perfect. We spent time in the pool, lagoon, and under the palapa, when not visiting the beach at Half Moon Bay or Akumal Bay. We enjoyed morning walks to Turtle Bay for coffee and/or breakfast. La Lunita is a short walk for a nice dinner.

Overall, a wonderful place to enjoy with our friends and family.

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!

Our big family of 11 people had a great time at Casa del Sol over the thanksgiving week. The house is a little outdated but was clean and had no big issues. The location on the lagoon was great and we were able to snorkel in the mornings and evenings before it got crowded with the tours. There is one good restaurant walkable but it is a good distance into town so highly recommend a rental car or golf carts which were great fun and easily rented through the concierge service. The pool is not heated so during the winter it will probably be too cool for most adults but the kids still enjoyed it. For the size and location, I don't think you can get a better place in the area.

The public beach in Akumal is just a short drive up the road and was quite beautiful and relaxing.

A very beautiful house. We enjoyed the convenience of snorkeling in the lagoon and the tranquility of Akumal. While the view from the tower was breathtaking, we found the tower bedroom to be too hot to sleep in. Maybe a new air conditioner would help. The well equipped kitchens made it easy to prepare meals, however having Obidio cook was a was a treat. He prepared a couple of excellent dinners for us. We enjoyed spending time in the lower living area that blended into the attractively landscaped yard. Overall, a great house for a family or large group.
