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.

Absolutely loved! The rooms were all nice. Beds were very comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. The whole house was was very clean. The lagoon was so nice to swim in. We saw so many different types of fish. The water was clear. We had such a nice time. We also went swimming with the turtles at Akumal Beach. It was amazing and close to the house. We saw so many turtles and fish. The cleaning lady was so nice and very helpful giving us ideas of places to go.

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.

Casa Del Sol
I rented this house for two weeks. The first week was couples (9 people) and the second, girl's week (7 ladies). The bedrooms stay amazingly cold and the kitchen and sitting area on the bottom floor is awesome. Since we were here in late August and early September it was very hot and humid. I do have a couple of suggestions, maybe have air conditioning for the common area by the upstairs kitchen, (I can understand how expensive that could be) and a restroom with the huge outdoor sitting area. To help with the heat we went to the Chedraui up the road towards Playa and just bought a couple of pedestal fans so that helped.
Obedio and Mary were so sweet and kept the house spotless! We were able to walk down and enjoy the lagoon any time we wanted. Absolutely beautiful and so refreshing! The pool was awesome as well. We so much enjoyed our two weeks there!
Highly suggest La Buena Vida for dinner and drinks on the beach and Traverna for Italian and take out. Very friendly and delicious. In a nutshell, this house is amazing and has the best location for the lagoon. I would DEFINITELY recommend it for anyone. Very roomy, We loved it!
P.S. An added benefit: If you feel like you need a message, the waterfall on the property has a little splash pool with steps, we would stand in there and let the waterfall hit our shoulders and back.....perfect for relaxing the muscles!!!!
I would go back in a second!
