Isla Mujeres is one of our favorite destinations. This home is our favorite VRBO rental in the US, Canada, and Mexico. This truly felt like a home rather than a house. We were a family of two adults and three teens. There were enough cups, plates, and bowls that we could have been a party 10 times that size before running out of dishes. There weren’t quite as many beach towels, but we could have used a new one each day without having to do laundry until day four. Beds were so comfy it was hard to drag teens from them each morning, despite the lure of the island. House and outdoor areas were spotless as were all the kitchen utensils, dishes, and silverware.
The home is easy to secure with locking gates, doors, and windows and ample parking for a golf cart or two. The location is within walking distance of several restaurants, beach clubs, and Punta Sur. Between the rooftop, 2nd floor balcony, ground floor pool area, palapa area, and hammock patio, there are enough options to escape winds, sun, rain, and family members...if needed.
An unexpected welcoming package of chips, salsa, Corona, and a bag of coffee made our first night and morning more comfortable. The teens were delighted to see the towel animals on the beds in each room (and so were we). The little extras included a great selection of DVDs & books, binoculars, portable blue tooth speaker, numerous board games including Cards Against Humanity and flashlights.
A few of our favorites included Cards Against Humanity in the evenings under the palapa; the short island-wide power outage the night of the blood moon watching from the roof top as the clouds floated past; morning sunrises and coffee from the rooftop listening to the island come awake; watching the flotilla of boats pass in the bay; and the front row, roof top seat to the sun setting each evening. We can’t recommend this home highly enough.
