Does the high cost of airfare have you postponing your vacation? Well, wait no more! You CAN have a fabulous affordable vacation in beautiful Akumal Mexico at the incredible Casa Konomi (see rates below)!
Imagine it…enveloped in the hammock, you close your eyes and you breathe in the scent of the blossoming Bougainvillea. Your ears drink in the sound of the rippling tide gently lapping over the rocks of Yalku Lagoon and the songs of native jungle birds in the surrounding gardens. You feel the crisp yet warm breeze from the beach at Half Moon Bay flow over you like an ocean wave. You take a refreshing sip of your ice-cold beverage and realize that you’re staying in your own personal private paradise.
There are three bedrooms in this villa. The floral style master bedroom Blue Lagoon and second bedroom Mapumalanga (the setting sun) with its safari theme are on the second floor. The third spacious garden bedroom Shangra-La (which can be rented alone as a bungalow in the low seasons) is on the main level. Every room has two entrances, one leading to a veranda, another to the inside of the villa.
Casa Konomi has amazing attention to detail. From the monkeys carved into the building's decorative architecture, to the many stained glass windows featured throughout the house. The living room and dining room have been carefully thought out with no cost spared for aesthetic themes.
The tiled rooftop terrace offers amazing vistas of the sea, the jungle and the lagoon. Enjoy your early morning coffee for a breathtaking sunrise, or an evening filled with stars from this top floor retreat.
Everything needed for a perfect stay is on hand and the staff is at your service to help. Quite unusual to rental homes, there is a fully equipped laundry room with a washer, dryer and plenty of cleaning products. For a small additional fee and with some notice, the maid will gladly do laundry for guests, or the caretaker can arrange for a cook. Leave the bulky beach towels at home ~ Casa Konomi will provide as many beach towels as needed.
The home is equipped with a safe for valuables. Every bedroom has air conditioning as well as fans. Each has a walk in closet. The bathrooms are large and spectacular. Rare to the area, bedrooms have soft carpeted floors and walk in closets.
The spacious kitchen is equipped with two stainless fridges, a state of the art stove, a full size microwave, a gourmet coffee machine and more. There is nothing this kitchen does not provide.
Four flat screen TVs give choices to guests, one in the living room and one in each bedroom. There are plenty of DVDs, CDs and VHS videos for your enjoyment, as well as DISH TV if all you want is the sound of music playing while you fall asleep beside the pool. Free Vonage calling and wireless internet is available in Casa Konomi so please remember to bring your laptop should you need to keep in touch with family at home.
All terrain bikes are on hand for those wishing to ride. Biking not your thing? A golf cart has been provided for your stay. Perfect for trips to the lagoon, nearby restaurants or to the local shopping district and food market.
Now imagine this…for you and up to five additional guests*, you’re paying very little for a week! But hurry, this kind of deal won’t last long. Book now, and you’ll save! (Refer to rates below.)
*Additional guests up to 14- additional cost per night (over the base number of 6).

Why the Owner Chose Akumal
The locals are so warm and friendly, and we fell in love with the villa as it offered so many more extras than the others we knew about. Every year, we fall in love with it again, and add new wonderful things to make it better and better!
The Unique Benefits of this Villa
Our bikes, the convenience of our golf cart, the lush gardens surrounding our pool, the semi secluded location which is close to everything Akumal has to offer, and the amazing views from the tiled rooftop.

A group of 5 of us, ranging in age from 26 to 76, stayed at Casa Konomi in mid December. The house is huge, and we always found something new to marvel at. It is really sort of an oasis of calm and very private, though within easy walking distance to the beach and lagoon (this time of year I would suggest a shortie wetsuit or wetskin if you are going to do a lot of snorkeling). We really enjoyed the rooftop terrace, the wrap around verandas and hamaca palapa area, and the pool area complete with grill. We grilled and ate our meals outside everytime we dined at the house. The kitchen is well stocked, we shopped at Chedraui's in Tulum or Soriana's (good "casa de cambio" in front of this grocery store) near Playa del Carmen. The kids enjoyed the DVD selection that the owners provided and the spacious couches to lounge around on. Lucio is the caretaker (and always has a smile on his face) and will take care of your every need along with Maria, the housekeeper (who cooks a mean Mayan dish) and keeps the place squeaky clean. We rented a car and explored the area, but our tour with Lucio was really the highlight of our trip. We enjoyed many good restaurants in the area including La Buena Vida, La Lunita, and Lol Ha (all in Akumal), Xulam in Playacar, and Tierra Espana in Playa del Carmen. There are many good eateries along the main avenue in Tulum also. Would we stay at Casa Konomi again? Most definitely! Would I recommend it to a friend? Of course, and it is especially great if you have a group because you're not tripping over one another, and you can still have some privacy. We loved it!
Owner response: Thank you for the helpful reply - we look forward to your return, and to fill you in on the special offers just for return guests! - Lisa

We rented Casa Konomi for a group of five and it was more than adequate, it could have easily held a group of 12 or more in comfort. The house has a great rooftop terrace for sunbathing, wrap around verandas and a beautiful pool area with several seating arrangements. There is plenty to entertain all and beach towels, coolers, and the golf cart were included, what more could you want? The house is very well maintained by Lucio and kept very clean by Maria. The house is between the lagoon and the beach with easy acccess to either. It's a very laid back area and an easy walk to restaurants, etc. The owner was available by phone to answer any questions, but Lucio or Maria could handle any question or help with any need. We rented a car in Cancun (watch out for the topes (speed "bumps") if you do this!) and explored a lot of the surrounding area. I would definitely recommend Casa Konomi to a friend and look forward to renting it again in the future.
Owner response:We could not sum it up better! Thank you!

Life can't get much better than spending a week in Akumal at Casa Konomi during the winter, while snow storms are moving across the US Midwest! We were looking for something other than the large resorts in Cancun and this is exactly what we wanted. Our family of four arrived to 80-degree, sunny weather and spent the afternoon swimming in the pool, reading on the porches, and sleeping in the hammock. As the sun set we enjoyed the 360-degree view of the ocean and the jungle from the rooftop and stayed to watch a thousand stars come out! The huge rooftop patio is one of our favorite parts of the house and we watched sunsets almost every evening, and we took our morning coffee up for a few sunrises as well. We loved the quiet location and the nearby Yal Ku Lagoon where we snorkeled several times. You get a wrist-band that lets you return to snorkel again on the same day, so we usually went at 9:00AM and returned around 2:00PM. Our son loved driving us in the villa's golf cart. Lucio all the Mayans around are among the friendliest people anywhere.We became accustomed to having Leti wash our dishes and do our laundry every day. There are three nearby restaurants that we went to. Somehow we managed to find time to play tennis at Las Casita as well as visit the Mayan ruins at Tulum. If you go to Tulum take your bathing suits because the ruins are on a cliff overlooking a beautiful swimming beach with big waves. What a great vacation!

We LOVED staying at Casa Konomi and give it the best reviews. It was better than we ever anticipated and would go back in a second. IF we could, we would love to buy the place and have it for ourselves! We loved Akumal as well, such a mellow, relaxed, beautiful location. Thanks Caribbean Fantasy, for being so wonderful to work with.

A wonderful stay for the entire dozen of us From June 19 to June 24, twelve members of our extended family resided in the beautiful Casa Konomi in Akumal. The house itself is candy for the eye, tastefully furnished and decorated, and spacious. So much detail is given to the artistic appeal of the home, from the mosaic flooring, to the tiled counter tops, to the nifty selection of paints used on the various walls and ceilings. However, the greatest asset is Lucio, who keeps the grounds immaculate, and Maria, who keeps the house spotless. The two of them are sincere, energetic, and kind. Having a double fridge, a huge stove, an outside grill, and FIVE bathrooms allowed for an extended family of twelve to avoid stepping on each other's toes while coexisting under one roof. An outside patio on the roof offered the perfect get-away and provided some breathtaking views of the sea and the jungle to boot. We often used the bicycles that were at our disposal to pedal into the town or to the bay. There is so much more to say, but anyone who goes to Casa Konomi will discover this for him or herself.

Casa Konomi was a heavenly experience! I spent a girls week accompanied by my mother, cousin, and aunt, and it couldn't have been nicer. The house is spectacular! Every detail, every comfort, was waiting for us. The caretakers were fabulous and felt like family by day two! The house is beautiful and couldn't be any quainter! I highly reccomend it and Akumal to anyone looking for a less touristy adventure!
