Rincón del Descanso - formerly Casa Vidrio del Mar

Casa Vidrio de Mar (Sea Glass House) is a beautiful, relaxing oceanfront home on the Caribbean side of Isla Mujeres, Mexico. This friendly, safe, and scenic five-mile-long island off the coast of Cancun, has preserved the beauty and charm of a Mexican fishing village.

Enjoy the turquoise hues of the Caribbean, a wonderful oceanfront pool, and a sandy beach right outside your door. The rooftop palapa offers views of the sunrise over the Caribbean and sunsets over Cancun Bay.

Casa Vidrio de Mar is located right on the ocean just outside of town. It’s a short 15-minute walk or brief taxi ride to spectacular North Beach and the downtown area (Centro) with its great places to eat, shop and people watch. Hidalgo Street is the place for nightlife and a variety of restaurants. There is a large Supermarket (Chedraui) a 10-minute walk from the house. The house is on the edge of the Colonia Meteorologica, where you find lots of small shops and restaurants. We also have off-street parking if you decide to rent a golf cart.

The beach in front of Casa Vidrio de Mar is a mixture of limestone, coral, and white sand. It’s ideal for beachcombing, sea glass hunting, exploring its tidal pools, or just watching the Caribbean waves roll in. Please note the house doesn't have access to the beach. You cannot swim on this side of the Island.

During the months of July and August, sea turtles lay their eggs on our beach and can be watched at night from the patio.

Between June and August, you can have a once-in-a-lifetime experience to swim with the 30 to 40-foot whale sharks during their migration. Isla Mujeres is a special place where the waters of the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico merge off the coast of this island and as many as 400 Whale Sharks visit during the peak of their feeding.

Our house manager can arrange for a personal chef, snorkeling, scuba diving, whale shark tours, trips to many area attractions, and anything else you may need.

Casa Vidrio de Mar is an affordable home, suited for family vacations, a getaway with friends, or a romantic escape.
