The house was wonderful and in a great location to walk to food, drinks, and shopping. The pool was big and so fun and relaxing. The property manager was very helpful and responded quickly with answers to all of our questions and provided resources for taxis, restaurants , and other things to do while in town.

I connected with both the owner, Lee, and the property manager, Yana, before I arrived. Both were extremely knowledgable and helpful with anything I needed. There are cats on the property that Lee had us feed that we all came to love. The place has everything you need and the outdoor area is amazing. My group loved the large tree between the patio and the pool that trinkets hanging from it.

We usually stay at luxury all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, but wanted to live among the locals, walk to cafes, bars and restaurants and this location was perfect for that! As we were at Casa Kanuk for 23 days, some of the cafe owners/workers got to know us and greet us by name. The neighborhood could use some cleaning up, but the Casa was clean and well cared for and we always felt safe there. A few suggestions would be new bathroom towels and bed linens, along with a wall clock in the living room/kitchen. (Also, removal of the dead tree blocking the view of the pool from the patio.) We enjoyed feeding the cats (our cat at home passed away while we were in Mexico.) Bonzo was so friendly and stayed around the Casa most of the time. We got the experience we were hoping for and are glad we picked this Casa as it was nice to relax by the private pool on days we didn’t want to go out. We rented both parts of the Casa so friends and family could join us at times and have their separate space upstairs. My husband and I took morning walks and it was nice to have many places to stop while walking (we walked in the park quite often and took different routes other days)…stops for fruit shakes, pancakes, waffles, mojitos and tequila tasting were some of our favorite places. Gracias por dejarnos quedarnos en tu casa!

Casa Kanuk was awesome. It consists of a 2 bedroom condo downstairs with another 2 bedroom apartment upstairs, both with kitchen s and living rooms. The compound is fully enclosed with tall walls for complete privacy in the private pool. The property managers were wonderful. The compound is 3 blocks from main road, allowing easy walking to restaurants and shops. There is parking for 2 cars off street in front of the compound. Can’t recommend highly enough.

I fear I am going to ramble about how amazing this place is. This is how you offer a place for rent. Check-in: they sent a video of how to access the keys and get into the house. Awesome!! Their big book of Rules, Details and Suggestions is entertaining and VERY informative. The house itself has so much space! Two comforatable rooms downstairs with a big ol' bathroom and an upstairs containing a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. Our friends had their own living space they could go to whenever they got tired of the massive pool and hammocks outside!!! That's right, this pool is huge and the shaded patio space has two hammocks, hammock swing and traditional swing. So much fun! The cats are great and just lounge around to remind you that after you leave to go back to whatever cold world you come from, they'll still be there relaxing in the Mexican sun. We rented an SUV and there was still enough parking for another vehicle. The neighborhood was full of children playing and families hanging out. Two blocks away is Kulkulkan Road which will take you to the beach one way and into the heart of downtown the other. We went downtown a lot. There's so many great family restaurants to enjoy and practice your Spanish with. I am grateful how patient and gracious the Mexican people are. The property managers Esteban and Jiovany were quick to respond to our need for more bath towels and absolute pleasure to speak with in general. The bath towels were the only issue we ran into. Other than that, this place is a 10 out 10 and we can't wait to get back down there and get in that pool again!!

A truly amazing stay! Everything was fantastic.

We chose to stay at Casa Kanuk mainly because it looked beautiful and had everything we wanted and needed. We decided not to stay beachfront as originally planned, as we were concerned the sargassum would ruin that experience, a chance we weren't willing to take. I don't regret that decision one bit - even if there had been no seaweed. This was definitely our kind of accommodation! Esteban messaged us not long after landing at Cancun. He sent us the Google map location to help us locate the Casa, which is around a 2 hour drive south of the airport. This is a super simple drive, but you could get a taxi transfer of you prefer. Esteban then met us at the house, showed us around and made sure we had everything we needed. The house is very well equipped. My brother was staying on the upper floor which is completely separate and has a double bed, plus kitchen and two balconies. My family were on the ground floor, which has two bedrooms/double beds. We found it clean, the beds were really comfy, the bathrooms had hot running water and the kitchens had everything you need. And the pool was incredible! We also found the property secure and felt safe walking around. Lots of information is provided on local restaurants, sights and trips. We absolutely loved Palma Central, the food stall market just 5 minutes walk away. You can find Argentinian steak, arepas, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, Italian, Cuban options, sushi, Persian and Asian fair. Our two children loved meeting and playing with local kids too. We tried another restaurant one evening , but Palma Central had such a great atmosphere, service and music it was a no brainer for us. Hiring a rental car made it super easy to visit the local beach for snorkel trips to the reef (where we saw Stingrays and a turtle) and cenotes which were easy to access and great fun. Akumal was also around 30 minutes for more snorkel time and turtles,worth getting there for before 9 to avoid the crowds. We had absolutely no issues while we stayed at Casa Kanuk, we loved hearing the local neighbourhood playing their tunes and watching the local wildlife. Please take time to look around the beautiful garden, you'll see caterpillars, butterflies, lizards, opposum, local cats, dragonflies and bats to name a few. We have all agreed we'd love to come back yo Casa Kanuk as it's truly a wee piece of heaven and located so close to beaches, cenotes and restaurants. Thanks for such wonderful hospitality - hasta luego

Location was a great spot!
