Casa Iguana
Akumal home rental, Riviera Maya, Mexico

More than just a house; Casa Iguana is your personal resort featuring two side-by-side houses, each with two air conditioned bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room and full kitchen. The view from the oceanfront pool and palapa is awesome, a relaxing place to watch the waves roll in. And just off the pool is a sea front sand volleyball court that doubles as a tanning area.

The two houses face the garden directly, perpendicular to the ocean view. The best elevated sea view is from the second level of the two story building closest to the pool and sea. This house has one air conditioned bedroom and one bathroom on each level, a full kitchen and dining room on the lower level, and a living room with sofa, coffee table and chairs, satellite TV & DVD player, and a seaview balcony on the upper level.

The one level palapa roofed house is next to the two story house and has the other two air conditioned bedrooms, two more bathrooms, another full kitchen and a living area with a small sofa facing the satellite TV & DVD.

Outside the garden area is a comfortable space to gather and enjoy your own private Happy Hour, or coffee in the morning. In front of the palapa roofed house is a built-in tiled mosaic bench and low table. The iguana designs are custom made and give the house its name. From here you can wind around a garden planter with small palms and tropicals to the two outdoor dining tables. They're next to the fountain, shielded from the wind by the elevated pool deck, and there are two umbrellas to provide shade if needed. It's a great place to share a meal or snack. The tables seat eight people comfortably but a larger party can be accommodated with extensions. A curved stairway rises to the oceanfront swimming pool and sun deck.

By the pool is a thatched shade umbrella and a wooden shade arbor. The deck has plenty of space for everyone with chaise lounges and sling-back chairs for sunbathing or just kickin' back in the shade. It's a great area to enjoy.

The sandy play area serves as both a volleyball courtyard sand soccer area. The shade palapa is closest to the sea and usually has a nice fresh sea breeze. Watching the surf crash on the rocks can be an activity in itself, especially with a cup of coffee, cocktail or cerveza in hand. The palapa has a couple Adirondack chairs, a small table and two hammocks facing the view. Don't be surprised if you doze off in one of those hammocks. Casa Iguana is located between central Akumal and Half Moon Bay.
