About this property

Welcome to Shanti Del Mar

Shanti Del Mar is your own little slice of paradise. We are located in Isla Mujeres, Mexico, a tiny tropical island 8 miles off the coast of Cancun. Our ocean view villa is on the eastern coast of the island and overlooks the mesmerizing turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.
Located only minutes away from Playa Norte (which has been voted one of the 9 most beautiful beaches in the world), Shanti Del Mar is the perfect destination for a family vacation, an excursion with friends, or a quick romantic getaway. This 2,000 square foot, four bedroom, three bathroom beach home offers enough space to comfortably accommodate up to 9 guests.

If only two words were used to describe Shanti Del Mar, they would be, Private & Comfortable. Our house is an island onto itself. Our entire property is raised one meter (three feet), walled off, and surrounded by natural island flora on three sides. Hop across the street, and you are on your own semi private beach. Take our beach chairs and a cooler of your favorite libations, and dip your toes in the warm waters of the Caribbean. Or walk the surf collecting sea glass which has washed up on the shores from who-knows-where.


To start your day, turn on the cappuccino or coffee machines. Then a quick dip in your secluded pool, followed by a shower in the outdoor warm water shower. Breakfast? Whip something up in our complete kitchen. Smell the bacon as the kids ask, "Dad, why are the eggs yokes orange instead of light yellow?" And speaking of orange, there's nothing like mimosas with fresh squeezed orange juice, squeezed every morning by the local merchants right down the street. Now it's time to begin your day diving into a good book and working on your tan, as the kids (of any age) float, swim, or play in our oversized pool.
Shanti Del Mar's two master bedroom suites are on the 2nd floor. Each has a king size bed and it's their own private bathroom. They both have sliding glass doors which lead out onto a spacious upper terrace that offer an incredible ocean view, comfortable seating, table, chairs and hammocks. Downstairs, there is another bedroom with a queen size bed, and an upper bunk. The new living room couch is very comfortable and converts into a queen size sleeper. There is a workspace with a desk, comfortable chair and a printer and paper, if someone has to be connected with the "real world." We have mesh Wifi/internet that extends through the entire house including the back yard.
The kitchen is fully equipped with granite countertops, coffee maker, Nescafe pod machine, microwave, blender, toaster, and of course, stove, oven, and refrigerator with bottled drinking water and ice maker. The dining area is large enough to comfortably seat eleven people. The living room has a flat-screen satellite TV and surround system.

The rooftop terrace is the perfect spot to watch the sunrise over the Caribbean sea in the morning, work on your perfect tan in seclusion during the day, watch the sunset over the Cancun bay in the evening, and star gaze at night.
The house has all the amenities you'd want. Every room has it's own separate air-conditioner. All bed linen is cotton and 600+ thread count. The towels are plush luxury cotton. The couches and chairs are comfortable, and wireless internet extends outdoors to the pool area. We are equipped with smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, motion detectors, and out door security cameras.
Our dream villa is located in the part of the island called the airport strip, sometimes call Gringo Row. Because of it's close proximity to downtown, and you are, literally, across the street from semi-private, walkable beaches, in most people's opinion, this most desirous neighborhood on the entire island.
So treat yourself to the ultimate vacation getaway at Shanti Del Mar. Enjoy a morning cup of java, or mimosa watching the waves from the second floor bedroom terrace. Then, shopping and fish tacos in El Centro. Or, sunbath on the white sand beaches of Playa Norte. Or, more R&R, with a good book and the sound of your kids laughing the day away in our private, oversized and kid friendly pool. Oh! Did I mention, there's over 200 restaurants on this tiny little island? Regardless of how you choose to spend your morning, afternoon and evening, you will dream in comfortable beds as the cool sea breeze caresses your skin.
Welcome to Shanti Del Mar!

Amazing Vacation
This was our 4th time to Isla Mujeres and we’ve always stayed in hotels. Never again! Shanti Del Mar is perfect! Ariel, the hostess was AMAZING!!! Waiting for us on our arrival, she had homemade guacamole and chips, a pitcher of margaritas, and fresh squeezed orange for the kids. The house and location is perfect! Can’t wait to book our next vacation at this hidden gem!

About the host

Hosted by Larry Morgan

Host profile image
Before we met, Debbi and I traveled the world, me as a professional musician on cruise ships, Debbi as someone who loved to experience places, culture, AND food from all over the world. When fate finally joined us together, we shared a love for each other and a love of traveling which made us, not only perfect partners, but also perfect travel partners, and we did. We knew that we were destined to be together from the very start. So when the time came to decide where in the world we wanted to live the rest of our lives, we put our heads and hearts together and compared places we've visited, prices, lifestyles, and gut-feelings in search of our perfect retirement spot. We narrowed dozens of places down to a few, and then one. When the dust settled, the choice was obvious for us. Isla Mujeres, Mexico! A year ago we bought our dream beach front home on this tiny little island in the Caribbean Sea.

There! Are plan was set! Five months on our island paradise, five months at our home in Northern Wisconsin visiting kids, grandkids, and doctor appointments, and two months traveling. Well, you know what the say about plans. The five months in our island paradise turned in to 10 months. Turns out that our kids and grandkids miss us a lot more when we are at our beach home. Who knew? Okay, so one and a half months at our Northern Wisconsin home and two weeks traveling. I know. Our plan needs work. But, it's a good problem to have. :-)

Why they chose this property

When we first moved to Isla Mujeres, we planned to rent out our house during the seven months that we weren't in it. Well, after six months, and decorating our home with our cool new stuff that we hand picked, we've slowed on that idea. Meanwhile, our good friends and neighbors across the street decided to sell their house and move back to the states. So, we scrimped, and borrowed, and bought their charming beach home. What really sold us on Shanti Del Mar was the pool, the privacy, and the comfort. Plus the facts that it has never been rented before, and it's across the street and down a little bit and we can keep an eye on it.

What makes this property unique

This house is directly across the street from the beach. However, there are large, thick, protected, mangrove trees runs the length, that protects our house from a lot of the wind and salt air. It also protects the beach from the view of cars and golf carts passing by. I've been on that beach for hours in the middle of the day, and seen no one. That's our beach. Our house, it's like being on an island, ON an island. That is, we are surrounded by tropical fauna on the south and west sides (right and behind us). On the north (left side), is a 10' wall that separates us from the vacant lot next door. In front, like I said is the street and the stretch of mangrove trees separating us from the beach. Plus, the land that the house was built on, being raised four feet to prevent flooding, makes our house feel like it's own little island. Inside the house, comfort! It's not like a rental house. You can tell that it's been, and still feels like someone's loving home. That's why we only rent it out to families and small groups. Though it can sleep ten people, it's not a party house. It's a home!
