Awesome place to stay!

The location is just perfect if you want to wake up with views of the ocean and walk pretty much anywhere you want to go. The home was very clean and you just can’t beat the views. The owners installed a water filtration system so you won’t have to worry about the water, and the on demand hot water heater means you will never run out! The owners are just lovely and were happy to answer all of my questions. I’ve been to Isla 5 times and hopefully this place is available for all future visits. If I could give this place six stars I would- highly recommend!

Great place to stay!

We really enjoyed staying at this condo. The place was very cute - decorated sort of hippie, bohemian, island style. Everything that you could need was there. My 10 yr old was tickled with the pool right outside the main room slider. The place was clean and within walking distance to the ferry, golf cart rental and local restaurants. While this location has a beautiful view of the ocean and is right on the water, it is not on a beach. However, beaches are within walking distance, as well as, shopping and dining. Highly recommend renting a golf cart and exploring the island. There are many restaurants to try on the South side of the island. Hosts were super responsive with great communication and suggestions. Highly recommend this VRBO!

Wonderful Place!

This place is awesome! Just like the photos (even better because Dawn painted a cool dragon on the wall by the pool during covid-19). This was our 3rd visit to Isla Mujeres and this was the perfect location right on the Malecon with the ocean right off the deck with the pool; just paradise! Can walk anywhere downtown and easy cab trip or rent a golf cart to explore the rest of the island. The kitchen has all the supplies you need to cook but with so many great restaurants we didn't need to use it as much as I thought we would! We stayed "home" quite a bit since we visited in November 2020 during the covid pandemic and we never tired of the pool and view of the ocean (the sunrises are gorgeous). Dawn and Tom are very nice and responded quickly to any questions I had. Tom met us at check-in and Dawn has supplied a book with restaurant and activity suggestions and reviews. The place is spotless and they even supply laundry detergent for the washer. The house is secure and we always felt safe. We would definitely stay here again!

Sweet spot!!

The island over all was beautiful, the location of the house was perfect. We only needed to rent transportation one day to get to the south end of the island. Owners were super nice and always available for anything we needed or to answer any questions we had. We stayed in the downstairs unit and it had the best view of the ocean, it really made our trip ! Some days we just chilled in the pool and enjoyed the view! Would 100% recommend and definitely would love to stay another time in the future!

Tom and Dawn are the best! We stayed for 3 nights with my husband and 2 little ones and when it was time to check out Dawn was kind enough to let us take our time we had a few things to do that day so we checked out a little late. Definitely will be coming back the apartment is beautiful and the view is amazing!! Thanks so much!

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Fleming & Tom Clifford

Host profile image
We fell in love with Isla Mujeres many years ago and designed Castillito del Caribe as a place where families and friends could truly come together — without sacrificing comfort, space, or location.

As experienced travelers and hosts, we know the difference thoughtful details make. We’ve intentionally equipped the villa for group stays, meaningful gatherings, and effortless island living. Our goal is simple: for you to feel relaxed, well-taken-care-of, and free to enjoy every moment of your time on Isla Mujeres.

We’re always happy to share local recommendations and are known for being responsive and supportive before and during your stay.

Why they chose this property

Isla Mujeres is truly an international destination — just listen and you’ll hear a beautiful mix of languages from around the world. The island has a vibrant, resilient local economy and a laid-back energy that keeps guests returning year after year.

In real estate, it’s all about location, and this one is exceptionally rare. There are only a handful of large oceanfront villas with private pools located directly in the heart of downtown — and Castillito del Caribe is one of them.

You can walk to everything: Playa Norte, restaurants, beach clubs, shops, and the ferry — yet the home itself feels like a secluded retreat. Located just two short blocks south of the busiest part of El Centro, it offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience.

We’re confident you’ll love it here — our guests tell us that all the time. Many discover more about us by simply searching the name and seeing what others have shared about their stay.

What makes this property unique

Every guest receives a complimentary copy of The Ultimate Insider’s Guide to Isla Mujeres, created specifically for our guests.

Inside you’ll find carefully curated recommendations for:

• Airport transfers and golf cart rentals

• ATMs and money exchange tips

• Fine dining and local favorites

• Cantinas, nightlife, and live music

• Activities, excursions, and hidden gems

In addition, we are well-connected locally and it is our pleasure to offer concierge-style assistance to help arrange anything you need — from transportation to special experiences — so your stay is seamless, relaxed, and unforgettable.
