CASA SUNRAY: A BEACHFRONT GEM IN AKUMAL
Formerly known as Casa Gray, Casa Sunray has a new name, a fresh look, and the same unbeatable location—right in the heart of Aventuras Akumal Beach, one of the most breathtaking beaches in the Riviera Maya.

A ONE-OF-KIND BEACH RETREAT
Blending Mexican artisan charm with a vibrant tropical aesthetic, Casa Sunray is unlike any other. Its stunning five (and counting) exterior murals, painted by world-renowned artists from the Akumal Arts Festival, create an atmosphere that is colorful, unique, and completely Insta-worthy.
Step right from your patio onto powdery white sand and into the crystal-clear Caribbean waters, famous for incredible snorkeling—no boat needed!

THE PERFECT LAYOUT FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
This beachfront escape features a spacious three-bedroom, three-bath main house, plus a separate two-bedroom, two-bath casita—ideal for larger groups, multi-generational families, or anyone wanting extra privacy.
Inside, a sunken living room, charming dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen flow seamlessly together, creating a bright and airy space for everyone to gather—without feeling crowded.

BREATHTAKING VIEWS AND OUTDOOR BLISS
Expansive windows frame postcard-perfect ocean views, while sliding glass doors open onto a shaded beachside patio. Step outside and sink your toes into the softest white sand, shaded by gently swaying palm trees.
The large private pool is surrounded by inviting lounging areas, including a shaded conversation nook—perfect for morning coffee. Two outdoor dining tables provide the perfect setting for light lunches, sunset cocktails, or chilled cervezas.
Fire up the charcoal grill for an evening cookout, letting the mouthwatering aroma of juicy sizzling meats and buttery shrimp fill the air.

MEET ¨BERYL¨ - THE BEACH´S FAVORITE MYTHICAL CREATURE
A whimsical gift from Hurricane Beryl, this massive piece of driftwood has become a beloved local landmark. Depending on your perspective, she looks like a snake, a lizard, or even a dolphin! Kids (and adults) will love the chance to climb, play, and take fun photos with her.

Wont be back.
The roof leaks everywhere. If it doesnt rain youre fine. If it does youll have towels in the floor, upstairs bedroom, kitchen counter. The owners know this. They told us if we wanted to rent again next year it would be remodeled. So they get you to rent it knowing it leaks because they dont want to fix it now. The upstairs bed got wet from the leak and the solution was to move to casita, or just move bed and change linens. We found a 4 inch spider in the casita, so no. Upon telling the owner about the spider he replied, "well you are in the jungle." Kitchen stove does not work well. Have to manually light most burners and oven. Coffee pot display broken and wont shut off by itself. I was told there was a gas grill so we showed up w no charcoal. Jose brought literal charcoal on request - burnt wood bits. No lighter fluid, so I used cooking oil and a lighter from the kitchen. Took a while but made it. Jose said a gas grill broke and cost 10k pesos and a charcoal grill cost 2k. There you go. There are blankets above the living room door to keep raccoons out. Things out back arent put away. Linens are only changed on request. We had some used towels hung back up from the floor by housekeeping. The beach is very nice but it was never raked, however the house next door was. I raked it halfway through our stay. Pool needed cleaned when we arrived. Not bad but not what you want to see on arrival. There is good snorkeling there, and close compare

Great Family Getaway!
We had a wonderful family getaway at Casa Gray with our group of eight. The house exceeded our expectations and looked even better than the pictures. The location was ideal, situated on a quieter part of the beach with calmer waves. Both the main house and the neighboring casita offered plenty of space, and the bedrooms were very comfortable. The pool provided a fantastic escape from the warm weather. The main house kitchen was well-equipped with all the tools needed to prepare large family meals. Our only issue was that the barbecue wasn’t working, which would have been useful since the main living room and kitchen lacked AC. However, we managed well with the ocean breeze and the excellent AC in the bedrooms. Jose and Marisol, the caretakers, were at the house daily to keep everything clean and provided fresh linens and towels. Jose also prepared a delicious authentic Mexican dinner for us one night, which we highly recommend—it was reasonably priced too. Martina from Akumal Vacations made the booking, check-in, and car rental process seamless. We were especially glad we booked our car through Akumal Vacations due to the prevalence of car rental scams in Cancun. Choosing Casa Gray for our special vacation this year was a great decision, and our only regret was not booking a longer stay!

Hidden Gem
We stayed at this property for Spring Break and it was everything we dreamt of! There was plenty of room for everyone (we were 4 adults and two young kids). We loved having our own pool, own beach area, and a spot where we could snorkel right off of our beach and actually saw a lot of cool fish and other creatures. It was a quick easy drive to Akumal for restaurants, groceries or snorkeling with sea turtles. We also went to the Jungle side of Akumal one day to see the murals. The personal reception from Rhett and Jose was a special touch. Rhett was also only a WhatsApp message away if we needed him. We loved being able to walk down the beach to a couple restaurants. We had Jose cook for us a couple times as well, which was such a treat. Just make sure if you have him cook for you, do it earlier in the trip so you have time to eat all the leftovers because he made PLENTY of food! Avoid buying groceries at the beach side in Akumal if you can, there is the general store there, but holy moly! Either use the grocery service or go out to the Chedraui. This location was convenient to Tulum and Playa del Carmen as well. Overall highly recommend! It sounds like they are constantly making improvements, so I can't wait to go back next time!

Great Location
I said with my friends for a birthday trip. The house was clean, well stocked, and the location was ideal. We rented a car, and it made it much easier to get around. Jose was an amazing host. He cooked amazing meals for us, and was warm and friendly with each interaction. The booking was easy to do. Maria was so super helpful with the booking, including booking transportation from the airport, and ensuring Jose was able to act as a chef for a couple days. They all made this trip super special, and enjoyable. The girls and I have decided to make this a yearly trip it was so much fun. No complaints at all. Only a great experience.

Quiet and beautiful beach property in Akumal
First off, Jose was there every day to take care of the pool and house. He made us homemade guacamole and pico de gallo salsa as a "welcome" treat. The house was very comfortable. Since it was only 5 of us, we did not use the casita, but we checked it out, and it looked very nice. The beach was clean and beautiful. The house sits in a protected bay; we snorkeled every day. We also used the kayak. It was a precious way to start the day. We purchased groceries from the local stores (Aki and Chedraui) and made our own breakfast and lunch every day. We slept really well because each bedroom has an A/C, which is wonderful. Each bedroom had its own en-suite bathroom, which was really perfect. The beds were super comfortable also. We swam in the beautiful pool and ocean every day - what a dream. One night, our last night, a sea turtle laid its eggs in front of our house. The turtle caretakers marked it off with the date. Although we didn't see the turtle, it made us very happy to be a part of the conservation program they have on that beach. We made it to a number of nice restaurants in Tulum and Akumal. My daughters and I enjoyed visiting the nearby cenotes (we went to around five of them). We also went to the Coba ruins, and rode bikes. Since we were all girls, it was nice to have a security guard at night, even though it didn't seem necessary. The house, amenities, beach, Jose and Maribel, Tulum, Akumal, and Coba were the BEST!

Trip with friends was amazing!
Loved our stay at Casa Gray! Everything was very smooth with check in and check out. Manager was very prompt and was very helpful! Helped us with last minute transportation when our shuttle was stuck in heavy traffic due to accident. Loved being able to snorkel right in front of the house. The beach bikini bar is a couple houses away with good food and drinks. Private bathrooms for all the rooms was nice for our group. Night time security was always there patrolling the property. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed except shot glasses. House was nice and clean everyday! Beach was beautiful even despite the seaweed that came in as we arrived. Only thing I would like to have known was that they provided water because we stopped on our way and wasted money on quite a few jugs. Also they need outdoor lighting. Thank you casa gray for our amazing stay!

Great place for a beach getaway!
This was our first foray into Vrbo and chosing to avoid the large hotels/all inclusive resorts that we have frequented in the past. Casa Gray was a great experience to introduce us into this new way of vacationing. The property was as advertised with no surprises. If you like what you see on the Vrbo site for this property, you won't be disappointed. It is an older property, but well maintained. We had no issues with appliances, climate control or hot water availability; so that made our stay care-free. The pool area had a decent amount of seclusion, and quite a bit of shade. Since our stay was early February, the water could get chilly. The ocean however was perfect temperature and provided some great snorkeling 50 yards out from shore. As many others stated in their reviews, the option to have dinner prepared by Jose is a must do. If you are looking for a quiet, slice of paradise, Casa Gray delivers.
