Description

Surrounded by lush tropical gardens on a spacious double lot right on the water, Casa Christensen offers guests the luxury of peace and privacy in a chic and eco-friendly setting. Featuring multiple spacious living areas throughout the property guests can enjoy picture-perfect views both indoors and outdoors. A place to connect with nature this house was specially designed to maximize airflow allowing for natural breezes to cool the home so you can fall asleep to the sound of the ocean.

Decorated with authentic Mexican tiles along with local traditional architectural techniques Casa Christensen has multiple shaded areas throughout the property for guests to enjoy during their stay. Featuring beautiful palapa-thatched roofs, a large oceanfront deck, a rooftop lounge area, and an impressively large living room and dining area with magnificent views of the water, this property is an excellent vacation getaway for friends and families.

The Mexican colonial design with a bright, airy layout and concrete construction is thanks to the acclaimed architect of the famous Maroma Resort. The location, Caribbean breezes, and design, including waterfront decks and roof terraces, provide natural cooling and views galore - with all major rooms having direct ocean views.

Enter the villa through double doors and be greeted by a large, open-plan, circular living space, with a peaked 30-foot ceiling and spectacular views of the turquoise waters immediately out front. There is an ample dining area, a large kitchen with a breakfast bar, and a library area where you will find a great selection of Maya and coral reef literature.

- There are 2 adjoining bedrooms, each of which opens out to a shared covered terrace, each with 2 double/full beds and a private bathroom. - The third bedroom on the lower floor is furnished with a queen bed and has its own private entrance and private ensuite bathroom.

Follow the curved staircase leading up to a study and seating area that overlooks the living room, a large roof deck facing the jungle and sunsets (perfect for happy hour!), and the master suite.

- The master suite boasts a king-sized bed, a large private bathroom with twin vanities, and two large closets and storage closets in the bathroom. This suite has a private terrace facing the ocean, for sunning and catching sunrises and sunsets.

Casa Christensen is the perfect place to unplug, enjoy the quiet, and be healed by the sun and nature. We understand that in this modern age, WiFi is important, so we provide complimentary wifi internet access for our guests. All bedrooms and the kitchen are cooled with ceiling fans.

Right in front of the villa is the natural aquarium that is Yal-Ku Lagoon, with views looking out over the Caribbean, and guests have unlimited free access to the lagoon, with easy entrance immediately in front of the villa. The snorkeling and swimming here are fantastic! The white sandy beach of Half Moon Bay is also just a very short walk from the villa, and there are plenty of restaurants, boutiques, dive centers, and conveniences within walking distance of the house. Akumal is only 1.5 miles long from end to end and Casa Christensen is 1km from Akumal Bay. Ask us about renting a golf cart or bicycle to make accessing all of the village's amenities even easier.

Finally, we cannot recommend enough the cooking by Octaviana, who along with her husband Pedro, lives on-site. If you would like to have meals prepared for you during your stay, she is available to cook delicious traditional delicacies for you for a small extra fee. We especially love her chiles Rellenos (veggie, vegan, or chicken)! Octaviana and Pedro have been with the Casa and its owners for over 25 years, and are a treasure!

Activities nearby include Mayan Ruins, cenotes, adventure and culture parks like Tulum, Xel Ha, and Xcaret, beautiful beaches, diving, fishing, sailing, world-class golf, horseback riding, spelunking, and much more.

Beautiful house and setting. Do snorkel in the laguna, it was the best. Octaviana and Pedro were great. The one day fishing trip for some of the party was quite spendy. You really need to have a car to see the ruins and cenotes.

An excellent place to stay, unplug and connect. Open concept keeps the focus on family and socializing. You'll never run out of wildlife to see in or out of the water. Absolutely must snorkel during the day and watch the stars at night. Plenty of places to relax and tan and a short drive to the local bars. Octaviana and Pedro could not be better hosts and are always willing to lend a hand.

It was wonderful! Best location ever. 40 steps to great snorkeling. The house is close to good restaurants and small stores. We use golf carts to go to other restaurants and stores about 1 1/2 miles away. The patio has great view, always a nice breeze, great sunrise viewing. We usually had 8 people and the house was spacious, with plenty room for privacy. Kitchen was well equipped. Grounds well kept and secure. The best part is our caretakers; Octaviana & Pedro. Their daily clean up is very unintrusive. We call Octaviana “the Ninja” because things would miraculously be done. They are both very friendly and although English is not their language, between our/their limited Spanish/english, Google translate and sign language we communicated just fine. They have helped us to get excursions, massages, medical help, groceries, etc. Upon request (for a fee) Octaviana will make meals. Her food is delicious, plentiful and presented beautifully. My husband likes to use a walking stick and found one , one year in the jungle to use, the next year when we arrived there was a walking stick leaning against the wall. We have returned 7 times, Octaviana & Pedro made us feel safe and have become loved friends.

It was exactly as advertised and thoroughly enjoyable and comfortable. The caretakers, Pedro and Octaviana, were very helpful and cooked a delicious locally inspired dinner. Akumal Direct was very good and promp in responding to any questions we had. We were a party of 6 and spent a lot of time swimming and snorkeling in the lagoon, and took in some local sites, Coba and the Tulum Mayan ruins. We had a rental car so we were able to get around the area and shop. We luckily were not affected to the taxi strike that blocked the main highway back to Tulum and affected others returning to the airport. (apparantly they were protesting new competition from Uber) We hope to return.

We had a wonderful time at Akumal. Casa Christensen was great as usual. Octaviana and Pedro are gems and keep the property in great condition. David, the Akumal Direct concierge, was a joy to work with. The only negative was the condition of the golf carts we rented. They were in rough condition and the back seat on one was not attached to the cart. That being said, we had a flat tire and Caesar was there in 15 minutes to repair it. Great customer service.

We've been visiting Akumal at least once a year for the past 15 years. After having stayed in beachfront condos and villas in every bay from Half Moon to Soliman we finally decided to try Casa Christensen on Yal Ku lagoon. Upon arrival, our entire group agreed that the layout and distribution of the property immediately put everyone in a happy and blissful vacation mode. The views are amazing from practically every corner both indoors and outdoors. We particularly enjoyed the grand living room and the shaded waterfront deck as the main spots to hang out as a group. We were a bit skeptical about the lack of AC but were "blown away" by how well the architectural design of this house works. As soon as we arrived we opened all the windows and the ocean breeze immediately flows through the entire house. This might be one of my favorite features of Casa Christensen. The staff is also amazing, both the housekeepers and caretaker were always attentive to make sure we had everything we needed. Being on the lagoon was another highlight not just because of the view but because we were close enough to walk or ride a golf car to HMB and Akumal bay without having to rent a car.

The caretakers of the house are some of the best people I have ever met. They keep the house and the grounds clean and make great dinners. The design of the house is fantastic with louvers front and back to let the ocean breeze flow through. 40 steps from the house is the best snorkeling in the whole area.

We couldn't have picked a better place for rest and relaxation. The home is quite and is all it says it is and more. It was clean and well furnished. The home is steps from the lagoon and you can snorkel for free in the area others are paying to snorkel in. The concierge, David, was phenomenal. He made so many wonderful arrangements and gave great advice! He was absolutely worth his weight in gold. A few bits of advice: Find a reputable location to change USD to pesos, bring beach towels, as all that are there are bath towels if you go to the beach, make sure to arrange to have Octaviana cook you some authentic Mexican dishes. Her meals are wonderful and extremely affordable. Make sure you eat at La Lunita too. This is also a meal you don't want to miss! I can't say enough good things about this home and the experience we had there. We will be back, repeatedly! Also, just for your knowledge note one bedroom and bathroom is accessed from outside the actual home and if you lock the house they must have a key to get in, this info is just for your knowledge.

Everything was amazing! the house was beautiful and perfectly set in the lagoon for sunrises, full moons and awesome snorkeling. Octaviana was wonderful and such a gracious hostess. She was spectacular!!! the only thing we needed was air conditioning in the bedrooms. that would have helped immensely to rest at night! thank you again for a wonderful stay and experience in Akumal. we absolutely loved the town of Akumal and will be back!

We totally enjoyed our stay at Casa Christensen. Pedro and Octaviana are wonderful people and great property caretakers. David Placencia was great help in arranging for Covid testing for us which went flawlessly. We noticed the fresh paint, repaired woodwork throughout the casa, new stove, security system and thatched roof. Fans in the bedrooms are a welcome addition. Needed items for replacement are sun lounge chairs. They are getting brittle and have broken slats. Thank you again Christensen’s. We have stayed at this casa close to 15 times ver the years. Just love it.

Wow!! The moment you enter Casa Christensen you are mesmerised by the most incredible views of the lagoon. The Villa is beautiful and very spacious with natural air which is so much better than air con and offers views from every room you enter. Pedro & Octiviana looked after us daily and her cooking is an absolute must to try. The snorkelling being a few steps from the villa is amazing and we swam with turtles and the most gorgeous tropical fish, you can swim into other areas of the lagoon for free and I would recommend water shoes. The Akumal direct reservations team were brilliant and so very helpful both before and during our stay, we booked our airport transfers with them and the whole experience was made stress free. As a family of 5 we had the most incredible holiday and will definitely book to come and stay again.

We are a family of eight ages 4-74. We found the Casa Christensen very accommodating for all our needs. The children enjoyed exploring and they loved the library. The main deck outside was paradise listening and watching the waves crashing on the rocks. The 25 foot path down to the water was very convenient to go snorkeling. There is plenty of wonderful fish and coral to explore right there, no need to pay the fees to go elsewhere! We even saw a small shark!

Casa Christensen was just as described. Beautiful setting, beautiful and spacious house and wonderfully friendly caretakers. Our whole family of 5 loved it and can't wait to go back.

Thank you Casa Christensen for the best family vacation ever. The house was perfect with space to gather indoors and out. Octaviana was delightful, kept the house very clean, and shared helpful insights into the area. The house was great but the lagoon inlet perfect for snorkeling steals the show. House a little warm at night with no A/C but feels cool during the day with the constant breeze from the water. The house is beautifully designed, built, and decorated. We loved everything about it and hope to return in the future. Thanks for a great vacation!

Two families, one house, quiet but not too quiet area, perfectly appointed house, ridiculous snorkeling right out the door, the most relaxed I've been in years

Fantastic! If you grew up drinking out of a water hose,running barefoot,drinking from a stream,hot nights in a tent/camper(in the summer),maybe a creepy crawley or more, capybara darting around, ...Then you are of my Ilk, and can appreciate the simple pleasures(NO A/C).Well appointed and built to take a Hurricane head on and only need a water hose to clean up.
Iguanas begging for your attention,squid swimming right under your feet,shoes optional,and a bath is the
last time you were in the ocean.
1)groceries at Chedraui-Porta Venturas(Walmart/HEB)
