Elegant & Private Waterfront Caribbean Villa

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.

Wonderful Holiday Vacation
This property is fantastic—beautiful views of the ocean and a calm and safe bay to swim in. Our 4-year-old loved to snorkel in the bay, and with a live vest, we felt fine letting her build her confidence in the ocean. Akumal, in general, is a safe gated community with lots to do and great places to eat. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Best vacation ever
The property was in excellent condition, accurately shown online, located in a beautiful neighborhood. Just steps away from a lagoon inlet with incredible snorkeling with tropical fish, sea turtles and abundant sea life. Experience of a lifetime for my wife and I, and our 6 children, ages 25 to 12.

Family trip to Akumal
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.

Our family had a wonderful time at this property. The caretakers look after the guests and have tips for navigating the area. I definitely want to plan a return!

What a fabulous place
We absolutely loved this house. It's location on the water was perfect, with front row seats to the lagoon, the waves, the sounds and the sunrise every morning. It was spacious enough to provide privacy for anyone needing a quiet space to read. Octaviana and Pedro are kind and beautiful people and it was nice to know they were always nearby if we needed something. The lagoon in front of the house was a bit rough for snorkeling as the waves were very choppy, but official entry was just 5 minutes away for a small fee. Akumal is much quieter than Tulum, but has some excellent restaurant choices. We all agreed we wanted to return and stay in Casa Christensen again.

Incredible. I would change nothing.
I'm less than 24 hours from the trip and I'm already missing everything about this house. We stayed there with one other family, 7 people total. The two small bays for snorkeling, the lovely caretakers, the perfectly done decorations, the beautiful space...I'm tempted to lie and say it was terrible so it will stay available for my friends and I to return, but that'd be cruel. If you're considering this house, book it right now.
