Oceanfront Villa w/ Rooftop Terrace & Private Pool Castillito del Caribe

Summary:

There are few private villas located downtown where all the action is - and Playa Norte, the #1 ranked beach in all of Mexico! Just a hop, skip and a jump to Tiny Gecko - a popular oceanfront live music venue. Only a 2 block walk along the Malecon to the Main Plaza in El Centro Isla Mujeres, just far enough away for a quiet retreat. There are always holidays and festivals here and you can watch fireworks from SEVEN oceanfront terraces at this Outstanding Property. Stay up late, or get up early to watch the incredible Sunrises that paint the sky in an amazing array of colors daily. When the sun sets, head up to our 4th floor roof top terrace for jaw dropping 360 degree views of the entire island!



The Space:

You'll be blown away when you walk through the entryway in and are warmly greeted with an expansive view of the turquoise and sapphire Caribbean Sea, the waves breaking just 12 feet away from you.



The views are simply stunning, with the sea so close it's magical as you fall asleep to the soothing sounds.

This large villa is majestic, yet a warm and welcoming vacation rental that's great for extended families or large groups.

All the Isla Mujeres excitement is so close, but you'll be reluctant to leave this property



Level 1 terrace has an inviting Baja Shelf splash pool, with a Fountain and bubblers.

It transforms into a stunning water feature when the lights come on at night. Bask with your favorite beverage in a lounge chair in the pool, sit for a relaxing soak or let the little ones enjoy the shallow area.

An impressive mural with Jorge the Dragon is on the North pool patio wall because well, every Castle 🏰 needs a Dragon.

Two Oceanfront Suites open to a second level million dollar sunrise view patio.

A second level morning coffee terrace on the street side of the property is perfect for watching Isla Mujeres come to life each day - or parade watching.



Level 3 Oceanview Penthouse has a patio with views of the Bay of Cancun and Stunning Sunsets, or watch the ferries come & go and catamarans sailing by. There are oceanfront balconies outside the master bedroom slider and the living room.

Head up to our 4th level rooftop terrace which boasts 360 degree views of the entire island that can't be beat - a great place for yoga, working out, sunbathing, sunrise coffee, sunset cocktails or romantic stargazing.



The Neighborhood:

Castillito del Caribe is just a short walk along the Caribbean Sea to restaurants, shops, nightlife and Playa Norte (North Beach) which has been ranked #1 Best Beaches in Mexico! Since this home is close to all of Isla Mujeres' downtown action - restaurants, shops, nightlife and beaches NO GOLF CART IS NEEDED (avoids sobriety checkpoints ;-). Although you may want to rent one just for a day to explore the enchantment of the rest of the Island.



Getting Around:

Voted as one of the Best Islands in the World by Conte Nast Traveler - the location of this Villa simply can't be beat! There are very few Oceanfront villas with a private pool located DOWNTOWN in El Centro - where all the action is! Just two blocks from the Ferry Terminal, across the street from the Mexican Navy base where there is plenty of parking (very safe!). Our full service concierge can help you with all reservations - tours, golf carts, in-home massages, private chefs and more!

Amazing Isla Mujeres Property!

This is an amazing property near the center of town. It was perfect for our larger group (6 adults and 3 children). Plenty of space for everyone and the common areas are perfect. We would certainly recommend Dawn and Tom’s property to anyone looking for a family or group vacation!

We had a great time on the island and this property fit our family of 9 adults and 3 kids well. We did breakfast most mornings in the master suite and then lunches on the main floor. Being on the east side we had fantastic sunrises and a shaded pool in the evenings. The 3 kids used the pool every day and the adults cooled off as well. Many extra beach amenities were provided and the host was very responsive.

Great place for a big group

This was a great property to accommodate our larger-than-normal group! The location is close to the Piers for charter pick-up (whale sharks) and restaurants easily within walking distance. We did not need to rent a golf cart at all to stay in the action. The pool was awesome and shared spaces made it easy to gather and hang out - all 16 of us! Definitely would stay again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Castellito

Very well suited for our group of four couples. Beautiful views, good amenities. Dogs barking at inconvenient sleeping hours on roof of adjacent building directly south were an issue, particularly in bedrooms on that side of Castellito. There a six small yappy dogs. This mostly affects the Penthouse suite. Neighborhood was otherwise quite convenient with easy walking to numerous great restaurants and beaches. House is right on the Malecon (seawall), so morning runs/walks are pretty sweet.

Isla Family Reunion

We enjoyed our stay in Isla. We rented the entire property and it was a good space for our family, there was ample room for everyone to spread out. We were able to easily walk to most things we wanted to do with easy access to the grocery store, beach and restaurants. There was good communication between the owners and property manager. We did have difficulty with closing & locking the patio doors on the 1st & 2nd floor. The water pressure in the kitchen on the 1st floor & the guest bathroom was poor. The views were great!

Location, location, location

Every year since 2007 my family has rented through VRBO for our annual vacation. This house has a great location-within a short walk to everything on the north side of the very cool island. (We did rent golf carts to get to the south end which had some spectacular views-and stopped at "The Joint" multiple times on the way) We felt very safe at this house. However, it is not quite as bright as the pictures show and is showing its age a bit-probably due to the salt air. Beds are very comfy. If we could have left the front door open to take advantage of the ocean breeze, it would have been nicer, but the smell from the garbage cans by the door prevented that. My daughter ripped her pants when she sat on the upstairs futon because staples were sticking up where the buttons had fallen off (Tom fixed the futon immediately). And the roach/palmetto bug invasion in the main floor bedroom on our last night had 2 people sleeping in the living room with the lights on. Despite those two issues we had a great time here. While at the house, we spent most of our time on the main deck facing the ocean because the breeze and view were fantastic. The kitchen is well stocked but we didn't cook much simply because the food on the island was inexpensive and excellent! There was plenty of room for our group of nine adults and we would have no problem staying here again.

We loved and appreciated everything about this rental. The 2 suites and 2 bed/baths were perfect for the 4 couples staying there. The pool was great, we loved that it got sun and shade. Tom and his wife stay in the 3rd level (which isn’t noted anywhere that I saw) but it was great. Tom gave us a great tour when we arrived and was there to answer any questions we had.

Outstanding stay - recommend!

Owner was helpful, accommodating and generous. They accommodated adjusted check-in/out times, and were generally helpful. It was tricky to find the property, but only bc we didn’t access the Facebook arrival video while traveling (check that out first - map doesn’t really work). The house is extremely well-equipped, and unlike a lot of places that throw out extra food, etc, this place had rice, laundry detergent, etc. We had an outstanding experience and will return for sure. Huge thank you to the hosts for providing a most memorable piece of our vacation for my family of 6.

Perfect Location for Sargassum-Free North Beach!

Playa Norte does not have the algae (sargassum) problem that Cancun and Playa del Carmen have. This villa is a 10 min walk from the ferry and 10 min walk to one of the best beaches in the world. It is also walking distance to downtown where 90% of the nightlife/restaurants/shopping is located. We rented the full villa that includes 4 bed rooms and 4 baths, one full kitchen and 2 kitchenettes. All the rooms were large and with comfortable beds. The pool is great and has a 12 inch shelf that my toddler loved to play in. The place is very well equipped with kitchen supplies, towels, and even a washer/dryer. The hosts were very helpful and were always quick to respond. I'll def come back to visit.
