Breathtaking 7 Bedroom Villa on the Ocean with a Infinity Private Pool
WELCOME TO VILLA AMISTAD. Loosely translated, "The House of Friends". Located on a coral beach, literally feet from the crashing waves of the Caribbean. The view, the sound, the feel of the neverending waves and Caribbean breeze, create an experience you will love and not soon forget.
Villa Amistad was professionally designed by a noted architect to maximize one's experience with the sights and sounds of the waves crashing ashore. Featuring floor to ceiling "walls of glass" serving all common rooms and master bedroom suites. Most anywhere you find yourself in the Villa, your eyes will be drawn to remarkable views. In the Kitchen, in the dining room, living room, patio, master suite and balcony, even from the master shower your eyes will be fixed on the beautiful Caribbean.
Not to be out done by the amazing view are the sounds of the crashing waves and the feel of the never ending Caribbean breezes. Villa Amistad is set apart, as being one of the few places on the planet, where you can have such an experience from your own backyard. One could watch for hours, the 5-6 ft frigate birds floating effortlessly, the many small fishing boats, cruise ships at night, plus the never ending waves.. And as a practical benefit of the breezes, rarely is there a mosquito to be found.
Oops, I almost forgot about a couple can't miss features. If you are lucky enough to get one fo the king suites, you will be treated to some great sunrises. just walk on to the balcony, grab a lounger and start snapping pics. Next, if you happen to be at the Villa at the full moon or a couple days either way, you can get some great views of the Full moon rising over the Caribbean, especially if the clouds are cooperating. Some nights are amazing.
Back to the Villa itself, we provide a light daily maid service (except Sundays). Guests are greeted upon arrival by an English-speaking host to provide an introduction to the facilities and answer questions concerning your stay.

For those of you unfamiliar with Isla Mujeres, Isla is the original Mexican Resort from before Cancun existed. Today, Isla is now the leading day trip from Cancun, with thousands visiting daily. Isla offers a nice break from the "unreality" of the Cancun all-inclusives. Yes, Isla has a world class beach, underwater national park, other notable attractions, but what sets Isla apart is the vibe. Starting with the happy people, the vibe is infectious. It's hard not to be happy in Isla. It's probably why there is a significant ex pat community on Isla.

This was our second time staying here because we loved it so much the first time! Super walkable to restaurants and playa Norte, and the pool in the back is amazing. Thanks for having us!

Beautiful home with amazing views! Great location! The house keeper was awesome! Stacy was great!
Nice weekend getaway. Very convenient location within walking distance to everything. Hot water did not work for most of the trip and AC’s seem inadequate for summer heat. Overall, we would recommend it.

Thanks for your review.
You need to talk to your friends. One of the others in your group called about the hot water, and while on the phone we discovered they were turning the handle the wrong direction. If you turn the handle in the direction which would normally be cold in the States, the water will be hot. Affectionately known as Mexican plumbing. In Spanish the C stands for hot and the H stands for cold.
Your “friends” said they weren’t going to tell you, because they got a kick out of you not having hot water.
Regarding AC, you have to tell staff about this kind of thing. The ACs at the Villa have a much larger capacity than any ACs in the States. If it’s not cooling very quickly, then something isn’t quite right and needs to be looked at.
Hope you give us another chance to do better in the future.

Family Vacation in Paradise
My husband and I took our grown children and their spouses. We had a great time. The house is beautiful, clean, and has amazing views of the ocean! The house is stocked with everything you need and has maid service. We really enjoyed the island and all it has to offer! I recommend this villa to anyone that has a large group. We will definitely rent Villa Amistad again.

Our stay was amazing. The house is fabulous - very comfortable, spacious, and in a great location. The pool was a great escape from the heat and the proximity to the breaking waves is indescribable. Any minor issues with the house were quickly taken care of by the staff. We rented both sides of the house due to the size of our party and did not regret it. All of the recommendations provided by Gordon for shuttle, ferry and nearby restaurants were spot on. Views from the kitchen, living room, master bedrooms and shower are gorgeous. This house is paradise. Didn’t want to leave and will be returning. Thanks Gordon, Stacy and Omar

Fantastic
Villa Amistad had everything we needed for an excellent vacation. I have trouble settling in on vacation in hotels, and it often takes half of the trip to feel relaxed.
Stacy was there to welcome us and answer all of our questions. She also responded within seconds to any little hiccups.
We all felt right at home for our entire stay.
The location is perfect for going to the beach, going out and just enjoying the roof top or pool together.
I've been going to Isla for about 9 years and staying in hotels. We really enjoyed being in a house and having a kitchen and pool. Another great thing about the house were the coolers and camp chairs to take for days at the beach. I highly recommend Villa Amistad and will definitely be staying there again.

We stayed at Villa Amistad from 12/27/2023 through 1/1/2024 with 10 adults and 2 toddlers. The setup with the 3 bedrooms on one side and 4 on the other was ideal for our group. Each bedroom has its own full bathroom as well. The location was perfect backing up right to the elevated walkway to town directly on the coast. The view of the water from 3 of the bedrooms is spectacular. We made good use of the pool and the rooftop deck as well. Omar gave a great introduction to us and Stacey responded almost immediately to any questions. Our daughter and son-in-law had been to Isla several times and many of Gordon's recommendations for restaurants to try matched up with their favorites, including Varadero, North Garden and Lola Valentino. Other favorites were Samura with the show table and Za Za's beach club.
We had a group of 10 stay in Amistad Villa and I cannot say enough good things about the property, the host, and our overall experience. We rented both sides of the Villa and there was plenty of room for our group! The Villa was exactly as described in the listing, it was extremely clean and it had all of the amenities we could need. The check in process was so smooth and the location is perfect when arriving from the ferry - an easy walk! The host was excellent at communication and any request was answered almost immediately. This property is truly breathtaking inside & out and the view of the ocean from the infinity pool is beyond incredible. There is also easy direct access from the house to the sidewalk path that runs along the ocean which you can use to take a quick walk to the beach and Hidalgo street with restaurants and spots to stop along the way. We are already planning our next trip to stay at Amistad Villa and cannot wait!! Many thanks to the host, housekeepers and property managers on the island for making this an unforgettable experience!
I rented this property for our family Thanksgiving. It was really close to everything. It is maintained very well, super clean. The bedrooms are really nice sizes. It is well stocked, if you choose to eat in. The pool is beautiful. The owner is very accessible and helped us with everything from taxis to the ferry to restaurants. You have access to the boardwalk that goes right along the ocean. You are right on the ocean and can listen to the waves. This is the best property I’ve ever stayed in.
All aspects of staying at Villa Amistad were great. Check in /check out was cake. Hosts were awesome. Location was perfect. All the amenities you need. It felt very community/family oriented. Sunrise/Caribbean views were unbeatable. Rooftop 360 views were top notch. We could literally see our palapas from almost anywhere! This is the place to stay.
We loved Villa Amistad. The location was perfect, easy walk to shops and restaurants, and the view was spectacular. Easy communication with the property manager who was very kind and resolved any issues immediately. The villas have everything you need including beach towels!! With a family of 13 we had both sides and had plenty of room. Beautiful property. Would definitely stay there again.
We rented both units because there were 12 of us including 5 kids. We add everything we needed. Walkable into town but we had golf carts we could park across the street. They street was busy but we spent our time in back of houses. which opened itself up to pool and ocean. We accessed each unit that way .
We truly enjoyed Villa Amistad. The location on the malecon was perfect. It was close to the restaurants and shops and easily walkable. When we did want to venture further we found the taxis a good option.
The house was the perfect size for our extended family of 13. The swimming pool was the favorite of our grandkids. The house has been well maintained and laid out well. The rooftop deck was a great evening spot. We would recommend this house
The only negatives were no grill available (our family likes to grill)and the water quality of the pool deteriorated as the week went on. Overall a great house.

Thanks for the kind words Mark.
We love to grill too, but it's too much of a safety issue, especiallly in a country where grilling is not so common.
Our new pool guy misunderstood, the difference between keeping a low profile when guests are present vs not servicing the pool at all. That should be behind us now, and the pool was sparkling clear yesterday when I was there.
We'd love to have you back again!!
Villa Amistad
We had a wonderful week at Villa Amistad. We rented the entire home and had more than enough room for our group of 10 adults and 2 children. Stacy, the property manager, greeted us when we arrived and helped us get settled. She was available to us all week when we had questions. The owner, Gordon, was also so helpful and available for questions as well via phone and email.
The house is in walking distance of amazing restaurants, shopping, and Playa Norte. We rented golf carts to travel around the island, make trips to the store, and take tired children home from the beach. We didn’t cook, we opted to enjoy the wonderful restaurants in the island. But the kitchen is well-stocked if one wanted to make their own meals. The pool and the back yard are amazing, there were some floats and plenty of beach towels available.
We were all so sad to leave. We will definitely return to Vila Amistad!
This property is owned and hosted by wonderful people. The villa is equipped with just about everything you need from sunscreen to leftover alcohol! Whenever there was a problem (minor) their manager, Stacy was prompt and extremely helpful. The only downside was the smell from the downstairs bathroom on both sides. Stacy said they were working on water lines down the road so it wasn’t anything anyone could help. Either way, we had the most amazing time. Will stay again!

We're so happy you loved your stay & hope you can come back again!
The good: The house is in a great location, walking distance to/from the ferry and to downtown restaurants and shops. House manager Stacy met us on time and showed us everything we needed to know. She was also very responsive to some issues we had. The house had great WiFi and satellite as advertised and the house and pool were as advertised and enjoyed. Housekeeping was very good. . Very nice sunrise!! The not so good: we had several issues with the water in the house going off. One daughter-in-law was in the shower fully soaped up when the water went off. Others tried to shower late at night and found no water. A few times the water went off but came back on by itself after several minutes. Stacy and Willy were prompt in taking care of this, but didn’t seem like this should happen in a “luxury” home. It was quite frustrating. There were also some minor things such as no coffee pot in the second full kitchen (Stacy brought us one after we brought it to her attention). No dish towels in one kitchen so we shared with the other side. The grass and plants in the yard need attention. Again these are minor issues, but expected better.

Hello - thank you for your review, I'm so sorry that you had the issues you did. I am happy that you enjoyed the location, pool, housekeeping, and our Isla staff.
Stacy did inform me that the water pump was malfunctioning during your stay. Even though it isn't helpful for your stay, rest assured that we did fix the issue & get a new pump. We were unaware about the coffee pot and the dish cloths. I'm very happy that you brough this to our attention so we could replace it right away. As far as the grass in the backyard, I'm sure you noticed that we are one of the very few homes that actually have grass. The climate is very hard to keep grass and plants alive and we will remind our staff to keep the yard watered so everything stays green.
Again, we apologize for the issues, and would love to have you back and try to make up for the trouble you had.
Thanks!

Perfect vacation rental for a family or group!
This is a fabulous property. There is a four bedroom and a three bedroom unit, we rented both for a combined seven bedroom house. The house is in excellent condition, with a roof deck, terrace, decks and an inground swimming pool. Kitchens are well equipped, and have gas ranges and ovens. Linens and towels are provided, as are daily cleaning services.
The location was perfect for us. We could walk downtown, and had parking for golf cart rentals. The owners were lovely to deal with, and have a very efficient on island property manager, in case there is a problem with the house.
Don't underestimate the value of the pool. The beaches are walking distance, and lovely, but coming home for a swim in the pool, overlooking the ocean, was one of our favorite activities.
Beds are comfortable, the dining room table seats 8 comfortably, and the circular couch has spectacular views of the ocean. Don't hesitate to rent this villa, it is well worth it!

Perfect family vacation
We choose Villa Amistad for our family vacation and are we ever glad we did. Grandparents, parents and children traveling together, and this was the perfect spot. The property is gorgeous and has plenty of space to gather, and enjoy being together, yet at the same time it is spacious enough to have some privacy as well. It has everything you could ever need, a close walk (less than 10 min) to the main beach and the center of town, but far enough that you do not have to deal with the busyness/loudness of being right downtown. The owners are very friendly and the property manger was prompt to answer any questions that we had. We felt very safe on the island even when walking back later at night. We would not hesitate to recommend this as the perfect vacation spot!

Beautiful vacation home in paradise.
We rented both sides of Villa Amistad for a girls' trip in March. Plenty of room for 11 of us. The view and proximity to the ocean is amazing and the small infinity pool and landscaped backyard can't be beat. Location close to town is perfect with many things withing a short walking distance. We also enjoyed the access to the malecon for morning walks. The owners and Stacy, the manager, were very responsive to emails and great to deal with. Stacy pre-stocked our groceries for a small fee which saved us a lot of shopping time. The Villas are exactly as described and as shown in photos. You won't be disappointed with Villa Amistad!

About the host
Hosted by Gordon Ladwig
Hola! A little about us... We are originally from Wisconsin and moved to Florida about 10 years ago and are working in construction and property management here.
Why they chose this property
We first discovered our little island in 1976! We were "spring breakers"- not the drinking, partying kind- we were the exploring kind of spring breakers. We traveled all around the Yucatan Peninsula. Almost at the end of our trip we stumbled on Isla Mujeres. We fell in love with the little island and have been going back as much as possible since then. The gorgeous blue/green waters and the kind, caring islanders drew us back time after time!
We were walking down Ave. Juarez and saw a "for sale" sign on the Villa Amistad- Well, it did not take us long to decide to put in an offer and a few months later became the official owners.
And...Now we can call it home and we are so delighted and excited! We are so happy to own such a Gem of a property and to be able to share it with others. It really is our little piece of Paradise!
What makes this property unique
Villa Amistad, or the Friendship House in Spanish, is located right on the Caribbean with an infinity pool and direct access to the Malecon. It is also walking distance to North Beach and Hidalgo St where all the action is. You can walk everywhere and not be dependent on golf carts or taxis!
