Beautiful beach location
The beach house is exactly as shown in pictures. It’s a beautiful location with the beach right outside your patio doors. We also enjoyed the pool. The pool is great for a cool dip and privacy. The palapa and BBQ is a nice touch with green space to relax. The house is very clean and accommodating. The beds are comfortable and the showers have hot water and good pressure. The air conditioner, wifi and tv works very well with English channels. A vehicle is somewhat a necessity since it’s about 2 km walk into the village of Chelem. It’s an easy walk to the village but due to the heat, it can make it difficult to get there. The owners are very nice people and any issues are taken care of quickly. Thank you for a great stay!

Highly recommend!
We will be back! Beautiful property, lovely beach, all features as presented in the listing. We arrived to a very thoughtful welcome basket and felt at home right from the start. Excellent communications with the property owner and really didn’t want to leave. Our daughter slept in the hammock almost every night which I know she will be eager to tell her friends. Chelem was lovely and easy access to Progresso and Merida. So much to do and see, and having a home base right on the beach is true paradise!

Can’t say enough nice things!
We just rented Casa Huul Kiin for my birthday and it was the best present ever! When the Pintos say “mi casa es tu casa” they genuinely mean it. Their love of sharing their part of Mexico was evident throughout our stay. Gino gave us an informative tour of the area, helpfully including landmarks to make our navigation easier. Lizette’s warm welcome, including a delicious fruit basket, instantly made us feel special. She also kept us updated on current events we might find interesting. Their son, Gino, was also an amazing ambassador for their venture. The home is as described and comfortable. It is truly a relaxing place. After staying at VRBOs for many years, I have to say this is the best managed I’ve experienced. Thanks, again, Pintos for a wonderful stay. We hope to see you again! Linda Johnson and Jim Broomfield

Peaceful, active leisure
First, Owners Gino and Lizette are exceptionally accommodating hosts. Present for our arrival, they gave us the lay of the land. Lizette provided lots of local options for things to do in the area. The home was comfortable and peaceful with direct beach access. I took advantage of the mornings taking runs into town for exercise and enjoying coffee or breakfast I Chelem. The pool was comfortable both day and night with great lighting for the nighttime. We felt safe in the area and were a little surprised by the number of Americans and Canadians we met locally. There was a problem with the water flow which was handled immediately without question. Finally, departure instructions to close up the house were easy too. Gino and Lizette would have assisted with this too however, our flight was very early in the morning. The house is close to town with an easy drive to Mérida, Mayan Ruins and Progreso! We agree we will be back!! Mil gracias!

Paradise Found
Lizette and her family were such gracious hosts for my family. We found the home clean with all the things that we needed. It was exactly as pictured, steps outside your door is the most beautiful beach and refreshing pool. Communication and assistance from everything to Covid testing and locations of things to do and see were more than we could ask for. Any issues were immediately addressed to our satisfaction. We found that we could enjoy the true Mexico experience when we ventured away from our home, which was preferable to the all-inclusive type experience we've had on prior vacations. Having said that, please be prepared to not flush any paper products and not drinking/brushing with the tap water. It's not much of an adjustment for the beautiful trade-offs right outside your door. Our family really enjoyed the breezy nights out by the pool, playing cards and enjoying each other's company. Also visit the Mayapan ruins even if you see Chichen Itza and I also highly recommend visiting the Cenotes at Hacienda Mucuyche. We found everyone we came in contact with to be very kind and helpful despite the language barrier. This was a perfect place to call home and a week just wasn't long enough!

Nice Beach and yard
Lizette and Gino were lovey and a pleasure to deal with. They were both very responsive and really wanted to ensure a wonderful stay. The beach infront is one of the nicest and can easily walk in both directions even at high tide. It is nice and quiet at night for a good nights sleep, yet easy enough to walk into town for supplies. The house was well equipped.

Relaxation is spelled "Casa Huul Kiin"
The property is exactly as advertised and the owners, Lizette and Gino, are real pros. They greeted us as you would greet a family member and made sure everything was to our satisfaction. This property has the most relaxing atmosphere of any of our past rentals. The building amenities are great and the beach is at your doorstep. The neigboring town has lots of great eating places but if you want to cook the kitchen has all the necessary tools. A gentleman stopped by our beach house one day selling shrimps, lobster etc. We had no spices but we did have some butter and tossed a mess of prawns into a fry pan with some butter. Heavenly. We loved the place.

Fantastic Home and Communication!
We had an excellent two-week stay at Casa Huul Kin. The house is exactly what we were looking for-in front of a beautiful beach with a very comfortable bed and a wonderful Mayan Pool! We loved having breakfast each morning on the patio facing the ocean! Lizette is also true professional-she communicated above average from the time we booked, to the time that we were in the house, right through to checkout. What is more, Lizette and her husband Gino are kind and warm people. We will be back and we are truly grateful for how we were treated and with the fact that the house was everything it was billed to be! Thank you Lizette! 🤗 George and Dana!!

Lovely home on a beautiful beach, Lizette and Gino wonderful hosts
The Casa is lovely, great patio to sit and watch the ocean and drink morning coffee. The palapa and front seating area great for breezy afternoons. Pool is lovely, cool in January but very nice as the temperatures climb. Lizette and Gino and family made us feel very welcome and were attentive to any small problems that arose. They also accommodated to sets of additional family guests. We are booked to come back next year. Very relaxing vacation, we had a wonderful time.

A wonderful 12 days at Casa Huul Kiin !!
The moment we arrived at Casa Huul Kiin, we were met by Lizette and Gino, who took the time to give us a great tour of this wonderful place. We felt like it was "our" place for 12 great days. A basket of fresh fruit and beverages awaited us. Along with a nice booklet, thoughtfully written out, with places to go and eat at. A really nice touch for Americans like us. The town of Chelem is a very friendly and we felt very safe. The Yucatan in general is a great experience. We logged almost 1800 km on our rental car exploring it. Always coming home to a wonderful Sunset, the sound of waves crashing on the beach and, a cool breeze. On the few days we were too tired to explore, we took advantage of the very nice beach and Mayan pool. My favorite spot was the big hammock outside. My Wife, Peggy would read her book while gazing out at the beautiful water. Then a trip into Chelem for supper. I loved the Pescado Frito (fried fish) and ate it often. We even cooked fresh seafood brought up from Campeche, a couple of times. Another sweet thing lizette arranged for us. The seafood was very fresh and very well priced. Speaking of Lizette and Gino, on the few times we needed to reach them, all we had to do was text them. A response was usually the same hour, if not instant. My advice on this area is, take it all in !! The Mayan ruins, the Spanish missions, the market section in Merida on Sunday, the Choco Story museum in Xucmal and, so many more places. Enter this fascinating area of Mexico with a sense of adventure and patience. Life here is slower and the roads are sometimes not very well marked. But, that is what vacation memories are made of. Thank you,.....Lizette and Gino for making our vacation memories very special. We will always remember our wonderful 12 days at Casa Huul Kiin and the friendship we shared with you both.

Excellent Home!!!
Lizette and Gino are the best hosts we've had yet after many years of renting vacation homes!! Beautiful, kind and friendly people ready to help with any issue. Very welcoming! The house itself is extremely well equipped, better than most we've stayed at with things like electric juicer, blender, lots of food storage containers and proper cooking utensils. Many places have only the basics but this kitchen was excellent. Yes, as many have said there is quite low water pressure but I'm certain that is the infrastructure in the area NOT the house. Home owners can only do so much. The property is incredibly quiet for the most part, the first weekend we were there was a long weekend and a number of families came into the surrounding homes most of which were empty through the weekdays. Even so, nothing coming even close to crowded by any means, you just lose a bit of the extreme quiet. The beach and the water here were lovely and clean. I was not fond of the fact that it was almost constantly windy but that is the case on many Caribbean coasts and the reason it is comfortable at night without air conditioning. The house is very nicely equipped in terms of security (though I felt the entire area very, very safe). The surrounding area was mainly quiet and not too hard to find groceries etc. with a rental car. There were some restaurants we found on Google that when we went there, they were not open (even though Google said they were ), we gathered that since this area is 'cottage country' for people who live inland, and mainly is occupied in July and August, things are very quiet during the winter. (note: BEST restaurant in the area - Crabster in Progresso, we went there about 4 times as it was heads and tails above the rest. ) Overall, we were very pleased, the house, beach, yard, pool, furniture, linens.... everything was lovely and very good value. Lizette and Gino, thanks so much for your hospitality!

Casa Huul Kiin is a Yucatan Beach Paradise
Rolling out of bed each morning… first things first, the bathing suits are on and we are walking through soft sand for our morning swim in the wonderfully warm, emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico! We just arrived back home after three fantastic weeks at Casa Huul Kiin and we are already missing the beach, the house, the ambiance and the Yucatan! Every single day we swam in the warm gulf waters and the pool, sat on the chaise lounges with a cool drink, enjoyed the wonderful view and the breezes, relaxed and enjoyed our time together in Mexico! A fabulous time provided by two of the kindest, most wonderful people you could ever meet and who genuinely care about their guests. We took several day trips to explore all that the Yucatan has to offer including Chichén Itzá to see the Mayan ruins, Telchac Puerto (a quiet coastal fishing village), Izamal (the pale yellow buildings, historic cathedral and the Kinich Kakmó pyramid), Celestún (flamingos, mangroves), Mérida (several times for shopping and dining), there's just so much to see and do in this part of Mexico! The absolute best part of renting this home was getting to meet and know the owners, Lizette and Gino! Lizette is an absolute sweetheart! Other reviewers have made similar comments but we just can't say enough about them because we know how important this is to most renters. If you are reading this, wondering if this is a good rental, wonder no more...! You cannot go wrong renting this home or any of their other beach properties! We highly recommend this property and our gracious hosts and we will definitely be back to spend more time in the Yucatan! Lizette and Gino are amazing!
