There are ceiling fans in all major rooms, gentle breezes from the cooling Caribbean sea, and 3 mini split air conditioners for ultimate comfort(optional for low season).
The villa enjoys wonderful views of sunrise over the Caribbean sea and sunset over the Cancun skyline.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
Michelle and I "stumbled" upon Isla Mujeres in February of 2005. Well, it was "love at first sight". Upon our return to our home town of Madison, WI we began a search for our vacation home. Within a few weeks we returned with our 3 week daughter, Bella, and bought our Island home. Over the last few years we have become immersed in the wonderful culture of the island and made many new friends. We've become active with the La Gloria English school that helps local people learn functional English, to help them obtain better paying work and to improve their standard of living. Having Isla as a second home has become one of the most enjoyable aspects of our lives. We hope if you choose to share our home you enjoy the Island as much as we do.
Why the Owner Chose Isla Mujeres
Isla's wonderful local people and their exceptional culture make this a wonderful place to spend our "down time".
The Unique Benefits of this Villa
Nothing is more relaxing than a cup of coffee or a "happy hour" cocktail while sitting on the rooftop staring at endless blue water. Being able to jump in the pool right out of bed in the AM or take a nap poolside in the hammock makes for the most relaxing day possible. The privacy we have on one of the very few lightly traveled roads, really adds to the tranquility of our location. The quietness of the south end, off the main roads, allows us to hear the surf and the tropical breezes day and night.
