Welcome!
Casa de Serenidad is located on the tropical island paradise of Isla Mujeres, just a short ferry ride from Cancun, Mexico. This home is the ideal place for families or couples who love all that the island has to offer, and who want the comfort and spaciousness of their own private villa.
Casa de Serenidad is located about halfway down the island on the Caribbean coastline. If you love the ocean, this is a fantastic chance to experience it. The ocean views from the patios are spectacular and just a few steps away, your private beach awaits you. A great place to play in the waves, shell, walk in the surf or try your hand at some shore fishing. Well known for it's mild ocean breezes, Casa de Serenidad offers you one of the most comfortable experiences on the island, even in the hottest of seasons.
The first floor has a large palapa patio, with imported ceramic tile, natural grass roof and parasitic vine poles. The expansive deck is able to accommodate large groups with a variety of tables, chairs, loungers and hammocks. Whether it is dinner time or happy hour, time for some sun, or time to curl up with a good book, you will find the perfect place to lull away the hours. Indoors, the fully equipped kitchen has everything that you will need to blend the perfect Margarita, or if you are inclined, to make a six course meal.
The living room is tiled with warm, inviting terra cotta tile. The sitting area has a wicker love seat and high backed chairs, with comfy pads for relaxing. There is also a large entertainment center on the first floor with cable television, DVD player, DVD library, CD player/radio, CD library, playing cards, games and books. The bedrooms in the house accommodate 6 people comfortably with a king sized mattress in the first floor master and queen sized mattresses in the second floor bedrooms. For larger groups, additional beds are available upon request.
The finishing touch of the upstairs is a beautifully tiled palapa patio, with an amazing view of the Caribbean ocean. It is the place to be if you love an early sunrise. During the day, it makes a perfect and private tanning deck, and at night, you can watch the moon rise over the water and see the ships pass by under the moon lit starry skies.
…and at the end of your day, you can let the sounds of the surf lull you into dreams of another perfect day in Paradise.

Bernadette and Phil, We returned from Isla last night and wanted to get off a thank you for letting us rent your lovely home. Not only is the house great, but snorkeling with the whale sharks was unbelievable. We were completely surrounded by dozens on the surface and many more below. I would think the summer seasons could/should increase in demand as word gets out about the whale sharks. We used Enrique's Unique Dives (he as a web site with lots of info) next to his families restaurant "La Tigrena" for our scuba and everyone else we dove with were repeat customers who came back to dive specifically with him. He set us up on the Ixchel II for the whale sharks and they also were fantastic. We found some whale sharks and jumped in to snorkel with them. We were immediately surrounded by so many it was impossible to count as they swam by, under, around, and past us. A really great experience! It is very rare to see so many and I wanted to share the info so that it might help if you wish to promote the summer season. Isla now has something to attract visitors during June, July, and August and word is getting out. We're passing the word to other families who share our interests, and even talked on the way home about returning to Isla to spend more time with all the sea life that surrounds the island. Your emails, hospitality, patience, and help were outstanding. It's why we chose you. Thank you for everything and hopefully you'll consider letting us come back some time if we can. Don't forget, we have a furnished guest house of our own set here in the hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands, which is yours should you be out this way. Thanks again and best wishes, Bob and Family BOB, IT WAS A PLEASURE HAVING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY STAY IN OUR HOME. YOU ARE WELCOME BACK ANYTIME PHIL & BERNADETTE CASA DE SERENIDAD

Hello Phil and Bernadette; A couple of things...I got to view your beautiful house on March 31st. I am so glad that I finally got to see it. It looks great! Also, I received this nice email from our most recent guest at your house (Mar 24 to 31): Meaghan -- We just got back from Isla yesterday. The place was fabulous -- the pictures didn't do justice to how beautiful it was (which hasn't always happened when booking spaces :)) Thank you so much and we'll be sure to recommend your place in the future! (Also, we're from Minneapolis so that was also a bonus to rent from someone from around here :) ) Nancy

Bernadette and Philip, Thank you so much for the use of your beautiful house. We loved the house and location. I can see why you fell in love with Isla and the people. We appreciated the recommendations for meals. I think we ate at almost every one. We had a lovely dinner at Mango's for Valentine's Day. We loved Don Mari and Manilito's in the neighborhood, the bakery was amazing. Thank you also for the beer. We had gone out and were planning to leave a six pack for the next guests when I talked to Drew and he indicated that you had arranged for it to be available. We also met Plu who said that he knew you. We arranged with him for multiple taxi rides including the one to the ferry on our way back to Minnesota. We hope to go back soon!

Hello! Just wanted to let you know what a great time we had at Casa de Serenidad. We were very nervous about noise at first when we found out the house was next door to Villa Bella, but no worries -- the house was amazingly quiet -- no noise from either the B&B or the road. We loved going down to the beach, wading around, and looking for shells. It was amazing how many conch shells you can find! The pool was a fantastic place to relax after a trip to the ocean, and having the rafts in the house made it even more pleasant. We hit the bakery every day for our treat selection, tried the chicken lady, and of course went to Baseball Tacos! The orange juice at Ronco's was indeed very good. It was a wonderful location for a quiet retreat and yet access to the busy parts of the island. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

We very much enjoyed staying at your house. It couldn't have been in a better location! We spent a lot of time on the patio. Not too much time in the pool, because the weather was a bit cool until the last 2 days. We loved the "turkey lady" although she was not open most of the times we wanted her soup. Luckily, we were able to sample her delicious food on the first night. We also took advantage of "Pollo man". Drew was awesome. He met us at the car ferry and we followed him to the house. That was very helpful since we arrived after dark. Then he checked on us 2 more times and gave us good advice. The king sized bed on the first floor was very comfortable. I'm curious to know what kind of mattress was on it. Thank you again Ruth and family

The house was beautiful! I loved being so close to the beach that I spent most of my time sifting through the piles of shells and rocks the surf had washed up. A few of us visitors had pets that we had to leave behind. So, it was nice to hear from Drew that there was a local dog, named KC, who would/ could stay at the house if we let her! she had a bed outside and would follow us where ever we went. She was great at chasing out lizards that were laying in the sun! Drew was just so great! He helped us so much during our stay on the Isla, he was great about answering our many questions and even told us about some great places to eat! There is a bar next door and they're VERY strict about kids under 16 years old entering. But other than that, it was a great place to sit and grab a drink! (they don't serve food!) My friend had asked about a special drink, but they didn't have the right stuff to make it. They told us to come back the following day & wouldn't you know it, they had gone out & specially gotten the stuff, just for us! That's just the way it was on the Isla, everyone was so friendly! A few of us did not speak any Spanish, but the locals did their best to communicate with us! Drew also set us up with his friend, Felix. He took us on a tour of some Mayan Ruins in Cancun, Telum & Coba. While on our trip, he took us out to breakfast at this really friendly place and for lunch we we're off to a family run place that had the best fajitas! Felix was a world a help and information! Swimming outside may be challenging, depending on what time of year you visit the Isla, it's pretty rocky out there. We noticed the Ilsa has many lizards that freely roam around, so be aware. There are so many places to visit on the Ilsa and off. Whether you just stay at the house or you roam around, there is something to keep everyone happy!

We had a great time on our vacation. Thank you for letting us rent your beautiful house. It was fun walking on the beach and finding shells. Kim enjoyed catching his puffer fish right out in front of the house. I also enjoyed sitting on the top deck and looking at the great view of the ocean. It was wonderful watching the cruise boats go by the house after dark. It is also a great place to watch the sunrise. We were there in February and have been going to Isla for about 15 years. Staying at the house was one of the most relaxing vacation to Isla that we have taken. We love your house and we love Isla.

I loved Casa de Serenidad; and indeed for me it was serenity. I felt so at home I actually got tears in my eyes when I had to leave. Listening to the ocean at night while falling asleep - there is nothing like it!! The people on Isla are so, so friendly and I loved that part too. Sun every day and water so blue/turquoise its like a picture. Thank you
