This three-level home with 3 separate units faces the rolling waves of the Caribbean ocean. Take advantage of a private patio and a dipping pool for some peaceful R&R. Suite 1 boasts a master bedroom with a king-sized bed and a modern, spacious en-suite bathroom with a bathtub. The second bedroom also has a king-sized bed and a single bed. The living area is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of seating, air conditioning, and a fully-furnished kitchen that comes with everything you need to cook fresh meals with local ingredients — or to whip up evening cocktails to take to the roof.

Rooftop patio? Yes, please.

This apartment is located in Casa Perla — a beautiful, beachfront home that is split into three separate units (which can be rented individually or together, depending on availability.) The properties share a gorgeous rooftop patio that has a large tanning/lounging area, a dipping pool, and an outdoor grill. Casa Perla is cozy, bright and offers an authentic experience of a Mexican villa with whitewashed walls, spaces that fuse the indoors with the outdoors, and bright bursts of color.

The sweet spot

Located mid-island, in the trendy neighborhood of Meteorologico (home to the famous Mango Café and a particularly beautiful church that faces the ocean), Casa Perla is in a more serene part of town, but still a walkable distance to the hustle and bustle of El Centro. Looking to explore or save your feet for dancing? It’s easy to rent a golf cart and tour the island on the outer ring road. Park near the stunning beaches of Playa Norte and spend the day alternating between a lounge chair, bar swing, restaurant table, and the ocean surf.
