About this property

Casa Vidrio de Mar - Sea Glass House

***Covid Precautions

This home has been professionally sanitized prior to guests arriving. It is supplied with wipes and hand sanitizer and all cleaning and maintenance staff have completed the Mexican Covid Cleaning certification program.

Casa Vidrio de Mar (Sea Glass House) is a beautiful, relaxing oceanfront home on the Caribbean side of Isla Mujeres, Mexico. This friendly, safe, and scenic five-mile-long island off the coast of Cancun, has preserved the beauty and charm of a Mexican fishing village.

Enjoy the turquoise hues of the Caribbean, a wonderful oceanfront pool, and a sandy beach right outside your door. The rooftop palapa offers views of the sunrise over the Caribbean and sunsets over Cancun Bay.

Casa Vidrio de Mar is located right on the ocean just outside of town. It’s a short 15-minute walk or brief taxi ride to spectacular North Beach and the downtown area (Centro) with its great places to eat, shop and people watch. Hidalgo Street is the place for nightlife and a variety of restaurants. There is a large Supermarket (Chedraui) a 10-minute walk from the house. The house is on the edge of the Colonia Meteorologica, where you find lots of small shops and restaurants. We also have off-street parking if you decide to rent a golf cart.

The beach in front of Casa Vidrio de Mar is a mixture of limestone, coral, and white sand. It’s ideal for beachcombing, sea glass hunting, exploring its tidal pools, or just watching the Caribbean waves roll in. Please note the house doesn't have access to the beach. You cannot swim on this side of the Island.

During the months of July and August, sea turtles lay their eggs on our beach and can be watched at night from the patio.

Between June and August, you can have a once-in-a-lifetime experience to swim with the 30 to 40-foot whale sharks during their migration. Isla Mujeres is a special place where the waters of the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico merge off the coast of this island and as many as 400 Whale Sharks visit during the peak of their feeding.

Our house manager can arrange for a personal chef, snorkeling, scuba diving, whale shark tours, trips to many area attractions, and anything else you may need.

Casa Vidrio de Mar is an affordable home, suited for family vacations, a getaway with friends, or a romantic escape.

Would recommend.

Just as described. Our concierge made everything very easy, especially coordinating golf cart rental. Check in and check out were smooth and easy. The pool and porch were nice. The only thing that could have made it any better would be outdoor cooking option and a washer/dryer for longer stays. We had six adults and fit nicely.

Absolutely Dreamy

Clean beautiful home with sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea. We loved the rooftop views, but spent the majority of our time while at the house in the infinity pool.Great location on the island! Communication was always prompt. Could use some extra towels and maybe a dust mop vs just a broom as sand tracks in easily but overall would absolutely return.

Family Vacation

We really enjoyed this property and location. This location was quite with as much sea glass as one could want. Only 5 minutes from North Beach and 20 minutes from Punta Sur by golf cart. Amazing sunrise from the master bed. We swam in the ocean (of course with water shoes) just out the back door. Appliances all worked well and had plenty of bottled water ready for us. Fast response from host we we had questions. Highly recommend

The location was awesome! Looking right out at the Caribbean is priceless, able to search for sea glass was a plus! Walking distance to some food and drinks! We did have a small issue with the pump needing to be replaced and it was taken care of in a timely manner.

Minor inconveniences but otherwise a nice place.

We liked the property, enjoyed the stay. We did lose power for 1 morning of our stay. This caused the inconveniences. On island management informed us that the owner failed to pay the power bill and that we should contact VRBO. The power was turned on some hours later, owner/VRBO didn't respond to us until after we were leaving the island. Assuming someone got ahold of them and/or paid the bill? We would have liked better communication, spent time looking at other places to stay, just to be prepared if the power stayed off. Otherwise, we love Isla, the house itself was nice, but unsure if we would trust renting again.

Casa Vidrio Del Mar

This house is beautiful, in a great location, beds are comfy, ac is cold and the pool has the most beautiful view!! I do have a few suggestions for the home, full length mirror in the living area, the rooftop furniture was not clean so we couldn’t really hang out up there. I suggest making it a bit more presentable with some plants, due away with cushions and add some games or hammocks something to draw people in to the roof because the view is amazing!! Overall I would stay here again and definitely give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!

Family trip

Me my wife and my two daughters aged 11 and 12 enjoyed our stay immensely at casa vidrio de Mar. The pool is amazing and access to the beach fantastic. I was able to swim some in front of the house even with the Rocky conditions. We saw sea turtles laying eggs right in front of the pool. It's very convenient, close to play Norte and also close to the south end. We spent days at Kin ha as well as Mayan beach. The best thing was we were able to have days where we just stay at the house and swam and the pool and enjoyed the beach. The house does have ants, But that is to be expected when you're in the Caribbean. Just make sure you put all the food in the fridge. After we were there for a while we noticed significantly fewer ants. Play cleanliness of the house was fantastic as well as the communication with the property manager. We were able to connect our Netflix account with the smart TV and our girls really enjoyed this as a way to get inside and cool off for an hour or so during the heat of the day. The pool really makes this house. Highly recommend staying here, they were so accommodating and helpful during our stay.

Sunrise Paradise

Just got back from our girls trip and our first stay on the island. Spectacular sunrise views every morning and pool time in the evenings! Communication with the concierge was excellent throughout our stay. The house has everything you need for the most relaxing stay! Center of the island so whether you want to hang out at Playa Norte or do a bar crawl on the south side of the island it’s just a 15-20 minute golf cart ride! Check out was even easier as our Concierege even had taxis for us to get to the ferry in plenty of time. I would highly recommend booking this house for your stay on Isla!!

Great Family Spring Break Stay on IM!

The property exceeded our expectations! Our first visit to Isla Mujeres, and we are grateful we picked Casa Vidrio Del Mar. the house was perfect, the pool was outstanding, the rooftop offered a great view of the sunrise & sunset, and the beach was peaceful. A bit rough, but we still went in for some nice snorkeling. We will definitely be back to stay at this house! Chema (our concierge) was a great resource, and always willing to help!

Great home. Far better than expected. We have been to island more than 10 times. This is one of our two, top pics. Pool wasn’t working as should, but it’s in the works. Easy access to beach, town, everywhere!!! Beds are pretty hard, so a pad would be nice. Really really enjoyed our stay!!

Great location needs some TLC

We liked the property. Great location for downtown Hiligo and centro. Just need some updating. Couch/futon was real stained and dirty. Curtains in house were stained. Bench seat was totally dirty and was covered by a blanket. We only one towel a piece for 6 people for the week. One wash cloth. Room were nice, kitchen was nice. Overall just needed updated.

The most perfect place on earth

To wake up here every morning is paradise. The views are unbeatable. You cannot swim in front of the house but that doesn’t take away from the experience with some of the worlds most beautiful beaches right around the corner. The home is spacious and comfortable. The location is convenient to everything via golf cart . The check in process is excellent. Chem took excellent care of us. There is limited seating in the living space, no grill or “beach bags” in the rooms as the listing specified but neither were huge issues. There are beach towels but if you’re there for more than a few days you probably want to bring another. We will definitely be back - this was one of our favorite vacation experiences of all time.

From Texas

Our stay was more than expected. We arrived and were greeted with a granted early check in to our rental. We had about 4 hour delay to check but we're able to check as soon as we arrived on the island(noon). We were greeted by Chema, who was fantastic. He accommodated a taxi for cart pick up and delivered food for us a few times as we had a flat on our golf cart. Pool was warm and fantastic. Only down falls were the spare bathroom smelled the #3 bedroom (next to front of house) each time toilet was flushed. Also the excess water pool (on edge) was filled with algea and also smelled at times. Otherwise would still give our stay a 5. We didn't feel need to call for these issues as we can understand plumbing in Mexico and the heat..

Definitely Recommend

It’s important to keep in mind that if you are traveling from the US or other countries, you need to adjust your expectations of luxury and comfort. Culture and norms can be very different. We are not strangers to these differences and the home was exquisite. The views and pool were breathtaking. Our children loved it and our strolls on the beach our out the back gate were amazing. The home is central to the island and we walked to a number of locations or used a taxi. Our primary contact Emmanuel was always responsive, kind and helpful. I suggest not running the AC when you are out swimming in the pool because it is so cold when you come back in. There is no laundry on site but the most amazing ladies working at a laundromat a few blocks away. I could go on, but you get the point. It was a good home and host.

Great location, amazing pool

I previously owned a home on Isla and since selling it I have rented several properties over the years. I would say the home itself is an average home for this area but what sets it apart is the infinity edge pool and the seating area surrounding it. We spent the majority of our time there. We would have appreciated the use the rooftop deck and palapa, (especially midday since there is no shade at the pool) but unfortunately it had not been cleaned in a long time and there were piles of bird poop everywhere, including the stairs to get up there. Chema the caretaker was fantastic and I can't say enough good things about him! He helped us with everthing from getting groceries, a golf cart, liquor and ice and covid testing.
