Description from owner
Description
Cozumel offers many options to its visitors, but nothing compared to this private residence already famous among the islanders for its façade, distinctive decoration and its main gate with mirrors that originated its popular name of “La Casa de los Espejos” or “The House of Mirrors”. Located right downtown, only 200 yards from the sea, it allows you to experience the way natives live, the real mexican cuisine and the music and sounds that permeate the atmosphere every day and night.
The house was built in 1989 by Brazilian architect Douglas Cerqueira Gonçalves, who lived on the island for a few years and actually in the house while building it, having therefore the time to detail everything to a “state of the art” level. The property is just two small blocks away from the sea and from Punta Langosta, the main international pier in town and just three minute away from the town hall and the main square; also walking distance to bars, restaurants, supermarkets and the shopping strip.
The property consists of a beautiful tropical garden with pool and waterfall. It has two unique living spaces, a large two story house at the far end of the property and a totally independent bungalow in the pool area. Each of the rooms has its own private bathroom and terrace, is fully air conditioned, has ceiling fans, tv/dvd/sky tv, variety of pillows and high quality cotton linens. You can enjoy the large adjoining terrace to sunbath, morning coffee or afternoon margaritas. In the ground floor, the living space has a working studio with a superb desk, CD/DVD, wonderful natural ventilation and lighting and certainly full Wi-Fi internet. The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, oven, microwave, blender, coffeemaker, juice maker and all the necessary elements to cook, serve and clean. There’s also a washing machine and drying area.
The garden and pool deserve a special mention, there’s no other garden in Cozumel that offers such a unique atmosphere; it is basically a palm garden with different palm trees, air plants, bromeliad, orchids and other unique plants that can’t be easily found elsewhere in town, combined with beautiful mayan stone steles and various wood, stone and metal modern sculptures. There are also large trees that create shaded areas for private ambiances. The swimming pool is composed by two tanks, the large one with an extraordinary venetian tile sculpture representing the sacred mayan serpent and a cascade that falls into the second tank where children or non swimmers can enjoy the fresh water. In case of need there’s also a wheel chair ramp.
With your reservation you are entitled to the following services:
- Welcome cocktail and fruit basket
- For reservations over five nights, complete house cleaning with change of towels and linens if needed
- Pool and garden cleaning and maintenance every other day.
- Gas, water, Sky TV, Tel & internet Wi Fi, AC in each bedroom and ceiling fans and mosquito nets everywhere
- the only service not included is the electricity, to give you an idea of the costs, the total price for the entire property without the use of the AC is US$10 per night, if you use it only to sleep at night, the price goes up US$3 per room per night, but if you want to keep it on all day, the cost is US$9 per room per night.

“Perfect Vacation Home!”
This place was perfect for the 6 of us that traveled over to the island. My wife and I stayed in the separate cottage, for a little more privacy, and the others were in the main house. Although we were separated from the main house, we never missed a beat as we always met up at the pool in the beautiful garden courtyard. It is within walking distance from the ferry plaza and with the walk to the house you easily find your bearings to all the different amenities that are close by in the neighborhood but far enough for some privacy. In fact once you close the front gate,you feel the total privacy within the grounds. Everything is within walking distance even the Mega Mart but I would suggest taking one of the taxi's back with your goods. The owner Marco is very helpful in giving suggestions on restaurants, activities and attractions. We only stayed a short time but when we come back this will be on the top of the list to return to.
