About this property
1BR/1Bath-74/Nite! IRONMAN Competitors, Winter Snowbirds, Summer Trips Welcome!
Open continuously since 1998, IslaMar Villas is one of the few remaining owner/operated vacation rental facilities on the island. Sure there are alot of hotels to choose from but how many of those hotel owners or managers will know your name or remember you next time you visit? We're still very old school that way!
Owner/operator Sherri Davis would like to thank all of her clients for giving her the opportunity to celebrate 22 years of operation! Newly remodeled in 2017, IslaMar Villas now has more garden space, refurbished pool/spa, sidewalk and porch resurfacing in the commons area, all new flooring, granite kitchen counters and a completely redesigned bathroom with all new fixtures. We're always updating and improving the villas and for 2019 we added flat screen TV's and redecoration in all units!
Offering quality and value, an IslaMar Vacation Villa provides the perfect get-away for you, your family and friends to enjoy tropical island living at its best! Sherri and her staff are always nearby to personally assist guests with their vacation needs.
Your IslaMar Villa will be situated around a common garden, pool, waterfall & jacuzzi area. The entire complex is surrounded by a ten foot privacy/security wall with electrification and 24/7 camera monitoring of property entrances. IslaMar is located in a regular neighborhood (out of the tourist zone), just a 10 -15 minute walk from Downtown or beach areas. Just around the corner is a neighborhood grocery as well as a family play park.
Nestled in the heart of Mid-Town Cozumel, IslaMar is popular among those who travel extensively or visit the island frequently and are looking for a more authentic cultural island experience rather than the glitz (and expense) of the tourist zone. Let IslaMar Villas become your island get-away... it's NOT just another place to stay but a perfect way to transition from 'hotel staying' to 'island living'!
Small businesses in Cozumel value their customers and IslaMar is no exception as one of our staff will be waiting just for you on the day of your arrival to ensure you get settled in for a wonderful vacation stay. Contact Sherri now and start planning your next Cozumel vacation to come and enjoy our fresh new look!

About the area
Cozumel
Located near the beach, this condo is in Colonia Adolfo López Mateos, a neighbourhood in Cozumel. Cozumel Maritime Terminal and Playa del Carmen Maritime Terminal are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Paradise Beach and Playa Mia Grand Beach and Water Park. Mr. Sancho's Beach Club and Go Flyboard are also worth visiting. Make sure you get close to the area's animals with activities such as game walks and birdwatching.

About the host
Hosted by Sherri Davis
Hi Ya'll!
I'm Sherri Davis and I have lived on the island for over 25 years.
I spent my early years in Cozumel working as a business consultant and PADI Dive Instructor.
Currently I own/operate several island endeavors including:
IslaMar Vacation Villas
Palmar Snorkel Beach Club
Patas & Alas Butterfly Sanctuary and
the Cozumel Insider web domain
I enjoy scuba diving, traveling the interior of Mexico, creative writing, discovering nature and supporting local conservation efforts such as the Cozumel Marine Turtle Salvation Program, reef monitoring and beach clean up events here on the island.
Cozumel is a special place that will capture your heart ~ if you let it! I would love to show you the Cozumel I know. A relaxed place with neighborly people where even those on the tightest of vacation budgets can enjoy themselves. Let me and my staff show you Cozumel from our side of town ~ where the locals live and eat and play away from the expensive tourist zone. It would be my pleasure to have you here with me at IslaMar for your vacation!
I am a native of Texas and hold a BBA and MBA from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. However, I do speak Canadian and Minnesotan really well (eh?!)! ;-)

Why they chose this property
On my first visit to Cozumel years ago, I simply could not believe that a person could leave DFW, fly for a bit over 2 hours and end up in a place as remote and primative as Cozumel was back then. There is something about the island that simply draws visitors into its charm.
As a scuba diver, I found heaven on earth in the beauty of the reefs that surround Cozumel and I simply never wanted to leave! Having my 9 IslaMar Vacation Villas gives me the chance to share the Cozumel I know with others who enjoy island living type vacations!

What makes this property unique
One of the main reasons folks come back to my IslaMar Villas year after year is because it is one of the few remaining owner operated vacation rental facilities in Cozumel. Many Cozumel vacation rentals are handled nowadays by property management companies (no owner on site).
My staff and I are on site daily and try to ensure that guests have the best possible vacation experience while here on the island. We assist guests with everything from coordinating car rentals and excursions to sharing information about less expensive 'locals' places to hang out. Our goal at IslaMar is to make a 'regular' out of you!
Another thing that sets IslaMar apart from many other properties in Cozumel, is that we are actually operating a legitimate business within the community complete with all applicable business licenses, safety inspections and legitimate legal structure to provide property rentals in Cozumel. As members of the Cozumel island community, we at IslaMar feel an obligation to comply with local regulations and help support road and infrastructure development rather than ignore or evade these regulations and fees as so many vacation rentals do on the island. As they say 'It takes a village.' and we must all CONTRIBUTE (by paying licenses/fees,etc.) to improve our community.
