The home is really stunning and in such a beautiful location! My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and our best memories of the trip are from Casa Huul Kiin. We spent time lounging on the beach, swimming in the pool, cooking in the kitchen and enjoying the outdoor seating areas on the back deck facing the ocean, the front patio by the pool and under the thatch palapa on the upper deck, which has a fantastic view. Don't miss the sunsets from this special spot! The hammock in the smaller bedroom is also a great spot to read or take a nap. The house offers privacy and also feels very secure. It's a luxurious amount of space for a couple and would be comfortable for a family as well. Lizette was so kind and helpful. She provided terrific directions to the place and when there was a problem with the plumbing towards the end of our stay, she came over right away to make sure it got fixed properly (and to communicate with the plumber since we do not speak Spanish). We felt very well taken care of and would definitely love to return to Casa Huul Kiin on a future trip! Please note, you definitely need a car if you're going to come here.

Excellent beach-front home

My wife and I stayed 1 week at this beautiful home. It is recently renovated and very comfortable. Everything was clean with a lovely terrace beach-front. Nice pool and palapa facing the road, so one area was always enjoyable in event of a change of weather. The owner was very helpful and lives nearby.

Excellent views of the beach and Progreso. Wonderful vista from the master bedroom.

The house is very clean and very nice to stay in the pool and palapa are great! Very nice and tranquil place to stay, close to Merida and to many sites in the Yucatan.

Casa Huul Kiin

Casa Huul Kiin is a lovely beach side home with unlimited and endless views of the Gulf of Mexico. The owners of Casa Huul Kiin will certainly make you feel it is your home away from home and welcome you in like family. The Casa location is ideal for a "get away from it all" holiday, ideal for Honeymooners or a quite retreat. Thank you Lizette & Family for all the extra hospitality and assistance with our stay with you.

Gracias,
Michele, Bob & Ashley

Enjoyed casa Huul Kiin

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Huul Kiin. Lizette, the owner, was very prompt, both in meeting us at the property and checking us out at the end of our stay. The beds were comfortable and the hammocks great, for use indoors and out. Our favorite part of the day, was having the sun rise in the east, shine through our window and the palm trees. We sat on the patio in the padded beach chairs and watched the pelicans fish for hours--it was lovely! Provisions in the house were more than suitable with beach towels, bath towels, and plenty of kitchen items. There was warm water which was wonderful in the shower and for washing dishes. The refrigerator was large and worked well. Lizette provided over 20 gallons of drinking water and also gave us a welcome tray of fresh fruit, wine and coffee which we really enjoyed!! In addition, she had a vase of beautiful flowers on the dining room table. She is an incredibly warm and wonderful hostess. She provided us with her cell phone number and told us to call should we need anything at all. She checked in with some friends of ours to make sure we were doing okay. She also inquired about taxis and costs to travel from Chelem to Merida, and put us in touch with Fredy, whom we did call on for transportation a couple of times. He too was extremely friendly and accommodating! Lizette told us that she hopes to make some changes on the house; adding a bathroom and possibly an upstairs bedroom and a pool. Those would be great additions! I believe a second bathroom which did not connect right to the sandy beach outside would be a very good idea--it would be much cleaner. The view from a proposed second story would be incredible! My suggestions to Lizette were that she have someone clean up the beach and all around the casita prior to any guest arrival. I know it is difficult to stay on top of this because the wind blows every day and the tide brings in refuse, but it truly needs to be done so people feel it is clean. I also would suggest a more thorough cleaning of the house and the refrigerator especially. Keeping a beach house clean, is also hard due to the sand, but I think a little better cleaning would make most guests feel more comfortable. My final comments to people renting this property would be that you either need to really stock up on groceries for your stay and/or have access to a vehicle as there isn't anything within walking distance. This property is quiet and nice. Nos encanto!
