You've heard of the "Three Ls" that define the best real estate: "Location, Location, Location." Now there's a fourth: "Luxury."
Welcome to Cozumel Island's most luxurious property in the best location imaginable. This one truly has it all: Right on the ocean, yet in town. No rental car needed (save $$$)! You get the fun and peace of the ocean and the convenience and amenities of town in one package. This is the only place on the island that you will find that combination.
*******************************************************
"The location could not be better. It's in the middle of everything. The facilities are world class."
-- Roger Schirmbeck and Karen Crumley, Baytown, Texas
********************************************************
Plus, it's the only vacation property in Cozumel with full-time, on-site, English-speaking concierge service. Our friendly staff will take care of your needs AND give you insider advice and tips.
There are a few luxury condo and hotel properties in Cozumel. Problem is, they're miles from town. Unless you want to eat in the same mediocre tourist trap restaurant every day -- they figure you probably will, so why bother with good food and service? -- you have to pay $10.00 - $20.00 or more plus tip for a taxi EACH WAY to take you to a decent place for dining, shopping or nightlife.
Until now. Welcome to Casa Phoenix. If you want 5-star oceanfront luxury with a short walk to virtually every restaurant, shop and nightspot, you have found it. And there's an excellent restaurant (Prima -- Northern Italian, fresh seafood, USDA steaks, etc.) on-site with the most fabulous view on the island right on top of our building. More restaurants, shopping, two grocery superstores, nightlife are steps away (Carlos 'n Charlie's, Senior Frogs & Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville just 2-3 blocks away).
This is the only property on Cozumel Island with on-site, full-time English-speaking concierge service. Wi-Fi in the condo, Dish Network TV, DVDs, free calls to the U.S. & Canada. Fully-equipped kitchen, 2-zone central air, 4 bedrooms each with private bath, ceiling fans, of course all linens, towels, etc. provided. In other words, this condo has it all.
Our management greets you at the airport and makes sure you get on the right shuttle -- and we reimburse you for your transportation.
The first thing you see walking into Casa Phoenix is the jaw-dropping ocean vista. The floor-to-ceiling sliding glass wall opens to the 50-foot private terrace, complete with hot tub!

Map & Owner's Profile
Super Luxury Cozumel Oceanfront, No Rental Car Needed - Video
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Cozumel Island
Alison and I first came to Cozumel on our honeymoon in 1982 and loved it. We then got our scuba certification and started going to the island as often as time and money would permit. We like Cozumel because, unlike other dive destinations, there's so much to do out of the water and because it's so safe -- crime is practically nonexistent. Before we found this condo we'd stay in different places but always had the same bad choice: stay close to town in a pretty funky place, or get a nice place miles from anywhere. There were no nice places, much less luxury places, convenient to town. When we saw these condos being built, saw the fabulous location (short walking distance to almost everything -- no rental car or taxis needed) and the quality (built by an American builder to first-class U.S. standards), buying one was a no-brainer!
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
We love:
The fact that there's so much to see and do on Cozumel Island;
That it has virtually no crime, "the safest Caribbean island" according to tripadvisor.com;
The convenience of being able to walk across the street to the grocery superstores (there are now two a block from each other!);
Having one of the best restaurants (Northern Italian, fresh seafood, USDA steaks, etc.) with the best view on the island on the top floor of our condo building;
The short walk to other restaurants, shopping, nightlife, etc. and not having to spend money on a rental car or taxis back and forth;
Being directly on the ocean, not having to cross a busy street to get to the beach and pool (beware of this when you see ads for properties "on the water");
Having some of the best snorkeling on the island right off our beach;
Relaxing & dining on the private covered terrace 7 stories up watching the boats (& cruise ships!) go by, feeling the ocean breezes -- sometimes from the hot tub;
Being able to get carry-out or order room service from the restaurant upstairs and just relax;
Being able to order drinks or food on the beach and at the pool;
Choosing from a wide variety of things to do, or choosing to do nothing at all...
Please see our condo website for much more info and many more photos.
The "Mexican Super Walmart" directly across the street, also has fast food, multiplex cinema (American films).
35 minute ride to more shops, restaurants, eco-park, etc. Also get a bus or rental car to go to Cancun (45 minutes more).
Numerous shops, restaurants, bars, dive shops, a park, concerts.
Wide oceanfront promenade to downtown -- a leisurely 15-20 minute walk (see our video walking tour).
15-20 minute shuttle ride from the condo. You will be greeted by our staff and escorted to the right shuttle. We will reimburse you for the cost ($8.00 per person).
Owner's Map of Cozumel Island
My wife Alison and I met in the U.S. Congress in Washington, D.C., where we were both on the professional staff for years for various congressmen and committees. She's also worked for the U.S. Vice President and the American Conservative Union, and I also worked for Ronald Reagan in his campaigns and Presidency. We now live in Kerrville, Texas, in the gorgeous Hill Country and write a financial newsletter (www.PaperSourceOnline.com). I am an ordained minister and the pastor of Reformation Church (www.WorldUnderChrist.com). We are divers and first came to Cozumel in 1982. We have 4 great cats who tolerate our wonderful Springer Spaniel, Bettendorf. -- Bill Mencarow

Casa Phoenix is the cleanest place you will ever stay. The nice housekeepers arrive daily and see to your every need. It has flat screens, Dish Network, Sirius, a fully stocked kitchen (they even provide coffee) and more. A nice pool, great dock for pick-ups and a great balcony with hot tub and chairs. It is a great unit for socializing and centrally located. There is parking and extra storage. I highly recommend it. Casa Phoenix is a great way to spend the week. I highly suggest it as a site for a family reunion, or for 3 to 4 couples to keep the price down.

Thanks For 6 Wonderful Weeks! Hi Bill and Alison! We just wanted to write you a short note and thank you again for the opportunity to stay in your two wonderful condos in Cozumel. We had an absolutely great time and thoroughly enjoyed both of them. They were so well equipped and the little extras that you provided were very much appreciated. When we return to Cozumel we hope to again have the opportunity to stay in your condo. Thanks again for everything - we could not have a had a better vacation!
