Charming Private Retreat

My husband and I decided last minute that we needed a vacation. We tried to find some friends that were available.... but had no luck. We loved this house, location absolutely everything!! We are hoping to make this trip and stay at Casa Marchon at least twice a year!!! You will not be disappointed!

Comfortable, great location, nothing bad to say about this gorgeous home!!

We loved the home and the location overlooking the Caribbean Sea. There were just a couple of minor issues that we had to deal with. The first was the hot water in the master bath would run out rather quickly within 10 minutes. The second was the throwing of the toilet paper in the trash which is something I am not used to living in the states. A suggestion might be to get the garbage cans that have a self closing lid and a foot lever to open to keep the stink down. This would eliminate a lot of trash bags delivered to the landfill. We were emptying the trash in the bath each time we had a bowel movement which leads to a lot of extra trash bags going into an already small landfill. Just a thought

Otherwise we loved the place and would rent it again the next time we come.

Thanks

We've stayed at 4 different properties on the south end of Isla in the last 5 years and I think this place was probably the best. Unlike most places, the kitchen is fully prepared and has every single thing you're going to need during your trip. As of Jan 2018, they now have a 7 foot wall next to the pool which completely blocks the new house going up. The pool is large and gets a good amount of sun during the day. All 3 bedrooms have direct access to the pool, which is a great setup. We didn't use the small rooftop pool much but it was nice for a couple and the water was a little warmer. The internet was stable and the tv had plenty of English channels. If this was my house, I would put a tv in the master bedroom. The location is a long ride to the downtown area which is both good and bad. The good part is that there are very few tourists on the south end. We find that going downtown about once per trip is more than enough. So in summary, the house is managed very well and great place to stay for 2-3 couples.

This was our first time on Isla Mujeres and we not only fell in love with this charming little island but we fell head over heels for this fantastic home! Within minutes of arriving we were already checking the calendar to see if it was available for Spring Break (it wasn't, in fact it's rather popular and for good reason!). We had a car with us as we were coming from Valladolid and it was really very easy to navigate the island with it but honestly we could have been car free too and utilized taxi's just fine as well. We found ourselves spending a LOT of time on the gorgeous rooftop area, we ate many dinners out there (use bug spray!) and ever single morning we enjoyed our coffee in the quiet, cool part of the day. The kids were in and out of the pool each day several times. We stocked up on groceries and cooked most of our meals in the amazing kitchen but also made sure to check out several of the awesome spots to eat (we enjoyed Mango Cafe, Jammin' Grill, Limon, Olivias, Oscar's and Bally Hoo). We had zero issues the whole stay, there was construction going on next door but it wasn't loud or disruptive at all. The house was perfectly stocked, we really appreciated the laundry area (a must for a family of 6!), wifi worked perfectly, alarm system was an extra bonus and all of the pool toys and beach towels were used a ton. My only suggestion would be the consideration of a fence closing off access to the backyard from the front, a few times it felt a little odd to be out back sunbathing with a ton of golf carts rolling by able to look right in on us. We will absolutely be back for another stay whenever this gem of a place is available!
