We stayed at Casa Isla this Spring with our two young children (4.5 and almost 2) and we had an AMAZING time!
Anyone with children knows that vacations aren't really vacations when you have them in tow, but this home made our trip to Isla Mujeres fantastic. The home is much larger than you'd imagine based on the photos, and the layout was perfect (kids on the top floor with parents in the main suite). The bedrooms and bathrooms were huge with ample space. I had no concerns parking the kids upstairs. It was great because as one napped, the rest of us could enjoy the huge open kitchen/living room, or go out to swim in the pool knowing all was safe inside.
The pool was wonderful - large, with a beautiful view of the ocean below and Cancun in the distance. The shallow shelf was an excellent spot for both kids to play safely. Also, there's a massive outdoor space complete with couches, dining table, etc. for easy outdoor living.
The location of the home is excellent. I was worried we'd be too far/remote but that wasn't the case at all. Being on the southern point felt super safe and there were plenty of restaurants/bars within a short walk or short golf cart ride. Getting to Playa Norte only took about 20 min on the golf cart, which frankly the whole family enjoyed. While there's no beach at the home, there are many beach "clubs" nearby that charge a nominal fee and/or require a food & beverage minimum for access. To be honest, we really just loved hanging out by the pool at the house.
Kit and her team were fabulous - incredibly communicative and helped to arrange everything we could have needed from a golf cart, to groceries, to departure Covid tests. The home was spotless and the housekeeper was so friendly and wonderful - such a gem. Kit recommended DC Explorer Isla Mujeres for golf cart rentals and transportation to the island. We did the private fast pass both ways (pick-up from airport, private ferry to the island) and it was well worth it!
Lastly, we were a huge fan of the kitties living on the property. Our kids were so excited to help feed them and loved watching for them each day.
I can't recommend this home enough. It would be great for adults and families alike. I hope we can return again in the future!
