LEVEL ONE:
• We created our home to be family friendly, as well as an incredible place to work or to getaway with friends. The first floor of the home has a fully equipped chef’s kitchen with quartz countertops, an industrial refrigerator, a gas oven and range, as well as an electric oven and all of the appliances and cooking equipment that you might need to prepare your meals or our house staff to do so for you. There is an eat-in kitchen table, as well as a ten person dining room table, living room and TV room with bluetooth sound bar and Smart TV off of the living room that is a popular spot for the kids, while the adults are socializing in the common spaces. Every room in the home is equipped with a Smart TV, private bathroom and a laptop-sized safe, for your convenience.
• The first floor terrace has a beautiful heated salt water pool with an LED light system and waterfall fountain, an eight person dining table, living area, relaxing hammock, and a gate to the protected mangrove forest with a descending path to the seasonal & weather permitting beach / ocean below. Please see "Beach & Ocean Access" below for detailed information on this area. There is a bathroom with a rainfall shower located at the front of the house to wash off your sandy feet before heading back inside.
• The first floor of the home has a beautiful bedroom with a king size bed, private bathroom and large closet. This bedroom can be used for anyone that has problems with going up stairs, since the home has a wheelchair accessible ramp connected to the front staircase.
LEVEL TWO:
• The second floor has a master bedroom with a king size canopy bed, private bathroom and balcony with a hanging swing chair, outdoor seating and a small table to have your morning coffee or tea while listening to the sounds of the nearby ocean. There is a children’s suite with a custom bunk bed, with a full size mattress on bottom and an individual bunk on top. This bedroom also has a private bathroom with a combination bathtub / shower for the little ones, as well as a large closet, toys, books and games. There is also another guest suite with a queen size bed, private bathroom and closet on the second floor.
BEACH & OCEAN ACCESS:
• Our home is situated on an inlet on the Caribbean side of Isla Mujeres. The ocean and beach below can be reached by a wooden stair ladder, followed by a descending path through the island rock. Since our house is on a cliff, there is a decline to go down to the water, and an incline to come back up. While the swim-ability of the ocean below is weather permitting and the size of the beach is seasonal, the views are always stunning.
• Starting around March until mid September, there are sandy areas to set up the beach items we provide including beach chairs, towels & mats, beach bags, umbrellas, adult & youth snorkel gear, coolers, floaties, life jackets, bodyboards and sand toys. Don’t forget, we have a complimentary beach set-up service! In the summer months, especially in the afternoons from two o’clock until after sunset, it is in our opinion the most relaxing place on the whole island. When the water is calm, you may go swimming or wade through the water and is excellent for those who are more adventurous, or enjoy snorkeling.
• Although it may be too rocky for children to go swimming, it is still a magical experience, as they can enjoy playing in the sand with our sand toys, splash on the shoreline, or hunt for shells and sea glass.
• From October to February, the beach recedes on this side of the island. When heavy rain, wind or Nortes, a strong, cool northern wind, is passing through, it may not be safe to go down to the water because of the strong waves and rocky areas that wash away walkable beaches. Be sure to check the rocks after a storm, as that's when all the true treasures are washed to shore. Only the public beaches downtown have lifeguards, so it is never recommended to go out too far. We also recommend packing & wearing water shoes.
FULL SERVICE FEATURES:
• Daily Cleaning service & On-site Staff: there to lend a hand and make your vacation as relaxing as possible. They can help with errand running for snacks & beverages, grocery shopping, ordering taxis to the home, and even complementary laundry service!

CONCIERGE SERVICES:

Let us pre-stock your fridge with your favorite drinks and snacks, arrange a golf cart to be delivered to the home, plan an excursion out on the water (sunset cruises, snorkeling, fishing & more!), special requests such as fresh flowers, champagne welcome or birthday cakes and help with restaurant recommendations based on your preferences.
