Don't just listen to us - hear what our guests have to say about our Awesome Villa in a Perfect Location 😎🏰🏖...

Excellent property, couldn’t be better!!!! Central location, walking distance to Playa Norte, walking distance to restaurants and shopping. But best of all is 2 things: (1) owners fix any issues within minutes; and (2) this is absolutely the most well-stocked VRBO property I have ever stayed at. Many VRBO properties require you to purchase your own base level supplies, such as trash bags, salt and pepper, olive oil for cooking, etc. however, this property comes fully stocked, with sandwich bags, salt and pepper and other base level spices, cooking supplies, pool towels, beach towels, shower towels, etc. this is without a doubt the best VRBO property I have ever stayed at. - Daniel G., Fort Worth, TX

Wonderful Place! This place is awesome! Just like the photos. This was our 3rd visit to Isla Mujeres and this was the perfect location right on the Malecon with the ocean right off the deck with the pool; just paradise! Can walk anywhere downtown and easy cab trip or rent a golf cart to explore the rest of the island. The kitchen has all the supplies you need to cook but with so many great restaurants we didn't need to use it as much as I thought we would! We stayed "home" quite a bit and never tired of the pool and view of the ocean (the sunrises are gorgeous). The place is spotless and they even supply laundry detergent for the washer. The house is secure and we always felt safe. We would definitely stay here again! Kerry C., Kansas City, KS

Fantastic Little Villa in the Perfect Location! We love, love, loved our stay! The villa was clean and comfortable, the location was absolutely perfect, the view was spectacular, and the owners were great. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend and stay again! - Jessica C., Dallas, TX

Amazing property. The Owner's were excellent hosts me and my family had the best experience with this location. Everything was in walking distance. It was a pleasure meeting the owners and there guests. Will definitely be back. - Nick, Houston, Texas

The perfect place to stay for large groups! The views from the house are absolutely breathtaking and the property is located within a very short walking distance to the downtown area with great shopping, restaurants and the beach, and a short golf cart ride away from the south end of the island! Dawn and Tom were amazing hosts, friendly, accommodating, easy to communicate with and had great recommendations! I would highly recommend this space to anyone traveling to the island and we will absolutely be returning as soon as we can! - Nicole, Deerfield Beach, Florida

Our stay at the Castillito was amazing. Dawn and Tom are wonderful and very kind hosts. They helped us since day 1 to make our stay the most perfect it could be. They are very open and always ready to give us their attention if something needed. The villa is great and spacious, with a wonderful view. It has killer location. Great place place to stay with your family and friends and to enjoy Isla Mujeres. - Thomas, Mexico City, MX

If you're looking for a place to stay on Isla Mujeres, stop looking - you've found it. The location is perfect - short walks to the restaurants, beaches, and shopping on the north end of the island. Easy access to the ferry. Spectacular sunrise view. Pool area is shaded in the afternoon, making it even more comfortable and usable. Kitchen is well equipped, linens and towels all provided and in great shape, beds are comfortable, bathrooms spacious, and the owners are local, well versed in the area, and great to work with. They quite literally wrote a book on the area. The only downside: you may not want to leave - we sure didn't want to! - Dave, Atascocita, TX

Castillito Del Caribe is one of just a few private villas located downtown - where all the Isla Mujeres action is and of course Playa Norte, the #1 ranked beach in all of Mexico! Just a short 2 block walk along the Malecon to the Main Plaza in El Centro, yet just far enough away for a quiet retreat. Stay up late or get up early to watch the incredible Million Dollars Sunrises that paint the sky each morning in an amazing array of colors! When the sun sets, head on up to our 4th floor roof top terrace for jaw dropping 360 degree views of the entire island! Check out our rooftop video!

You'll be blown away when you walk through the entryway and are greeted with an expansive view of the turquoise and sapphire Caribbean Sea, waves breaking just 12 feet away. The views are simply stunning, 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 larger groups. Located in El Centro (downtown) right on the Malecon, it's a perfect walking or running trail, an easy stroll to breakfast, lunch or dinner. All the Isla Mujeres excitement is so close, but you'll be reluctant to leave this property. There are 7 terraces, all with utterly spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea to the East and Cancun to the West.

This listing is for our ground level. The 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.

Our 4th level rooftop terrace provides 360 degree views of the entire island that can't be beat - a great place for working out, sunset cocktails and romantic stargazing. Check out the 360 view video - pure HEAVEN.

Since this home is close to all of Isla Mujeres' downtown action - restaurants, shops, nightlife and beaches NO GOLF CART IS NEEDED (avoid the sobriety checkpoints ;-) to enjoy your stay at Castillito del Caribe. Although you may want to rent one just for a day to explore the enchantment of the rest of the Island. We can certainly help you with reservations for that too!

This gorgeous villa is uniquely decorated with custom tapestries, each an individual work of an artist. Ceiling fans are generously placed, circulating gentle sea breezes throughout the home. Each room has individual temperature controls - both A/C and quiet, high quality ceiling fans.

This first floor apartment boasts a large great room, fully equipped gourmet kitchen, an indoor dining area all with floor to ceiling disappearing sliding glass doors. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first level, one bathroom is ensuite with a tub. Both the lower level Master Suite and the North Oceanfront Suite have king beds that may be configured as 2 twins, with advanced notice. There is also a futons in the Great Room.

The house features pressurized water, a water softener and UV filtration system (great for the skin and safe to drink or cook with) with rain shower heads in all bathrooms. Complimentary bottled purified water is provided.

Voted as one of the Best Islands in the World by Conte Nast Traveler - this Villa location simply can't be beat! There are less than a handful of large Oceanfront villas with a private pool located DOWNTOWN in El Centro - where all the action is! Castillito del Caribe is walking distance to restaurants, shops, nightlife and NORTH BEACH! Ranked #1 best Beaches in Mexico, Playa Norte is just a few minutes walk away!

This listing is for level 1 of the Villa plus access to our large rooftop patio for luxury and privacy in the Heart of El Centro. With spectacular ocean views, and an endless supply of amenities and activities, this gorgeous Villa is the perfect home for your unforgettable Isla Mujeres vacation. NOTE: The property is a Boutique Hotel with 4 separate units. The pool patio, rooftop terrace & other patios are potentially SHARED unless ENTIRE 6BR property is rented). Plenty of free parking directly across the street in front of the Mexican Navy Base - very safe ;-)

All guests get our FREE Visitor Guide: The Ultimate Insiders' Guide to Isla Mujeres immediately after booking. It is full of ALL the important deets you need to enjoy your stay - and experience Isla Mujeres like a local.

If you need more space checkout our 6BR listing #1266750 - that's also where you can find many of our Awesome 5 Star reviews!
