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.

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.

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

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!

This house isn’t a perfect location. The house has been completely remodeled. It looks amazing. The pictures do not do it justice. The pool was absolutely wonderful. If you ever get a chance I highly recommend visiting this property you will not be disappointed.

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!!

Lovely setting, specatacular view.
We had a great time at this property. The view was spectacular, the pool was so much fun, and the amenities were great. The beach was wonderful for shell collecting. The couch was a challenge, however, and one of the toilets didn't flush. Unfortunately the phone wasn't working either so we couldn't report it. All in all though, I would give it an A-.

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!

We loved our stay! Very accommodating. Perfect for our family size. Amazing view of Caribe side of island. Would absolutely recommend. The Water quit working we called maintenance. They were there in minutes.... but naturally it came back on before they arrived. They gave us good places to eat & different ideas of things to do as well. Thank you ♡

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.

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.

House has potential
Recently stayed In Late March with kids 9 and 13 and husband. House was plenty big, had all the supplies we needed. The realty company was great with pre-shopping arrangements, checking us in and out. My real complaint is that this house needs major TLC. It definately looks like a rental. There is artwork missing off the walls and just nails showing. The couch is pretty much broken and the outside by the pool will cut your feet if you do not have on shoes from loose stone. There is an amazing view on the rooftop but there is nowhere to sit. 4 plastic cheap chairs with no cushions. On the plus side the pool was awesome, neighbors awesome, and beds super comfy. Super convenient to north and south parts of island. Safe. We would love love love this place if it had a small face lift.

Best Vacation EVA!!!!!
I was looking for a special place to get away for a week so I could pop the question to my then girlfriend Milly when I heard about Isla Mujeres. I started scouting out houses that would be good for a little group of us to go and be comfortable when I came across Casa Vidrio De Mar. Outside of getting engaged this week turned out to be the best vacation we have had in a decade and the backdrop for this experience was this amazing home that is owned by a wonderful family. Skip and Diane were very prompt to answer any questions we had before and while on the island and Diane offered suggestions that helped me come up with a beautiful way to propose! We all felt right at home in this house that you can look at the Caribbean Ocean while floating in the pool. We have already decided that from here on out if we are looking for a beach vacation we are going to Casa Vidrio De Mar and if the original dates aren't available well then we will wait until the home is open. Thank you Skip and Diane for opening your home to us and making us feel like we are part of your family! BEST VACATION EVA!!!!

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.

Lovely home GREAT VIEW!!
There were 3 couples using the house March 10-17 2018. The view of the Caribbean sea was magnificent! The sight and sounds of the waves was AWESOME! The next door neighbor was very friendly and offered recommendations on where to eat. There were only a couple of instances during our stay. One was the day the pool man arrived something happened and we had no water in the house. Luckily he was still there and I told him and he fixed it right away. :) The other is the couch in the living room needs to be replaced. It was not usable. :( We brought in one of the patio chairs to use in the living room. Other than the couch everything was as described. We would return to this house again for another splendid time on Isla Mujares!! Thank you Skip & Dianne for letting us use your home! Gene, Karen, Dee, Jim, Dianne, & Dan

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.

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..
