Walk barefoot to beach! Private en-suite bath, AC

Our modern and romantic sailboat, Elegance, is perfect for couples. Spend your days lounging on the deck enjoying the stunning ocean views and surrounded by turquoise waters. At night, cuddle up in the comfortable cabin with AC, and take a shower in your private bathroom. The beach is just there, at the end of the pier, and the downtown with all the restaurants and souvenir stores is just crossing the street. You don't need a golf cart for the week here!

Elegance is a big modern sailboat (40 ft long, 14 ft wide) with all the amenities you need to relax and have fun, and is located in a beachfront marina, surrounded by turquoise water in the incredible Isla Mujeres.

She's a delight with a big deck, a nice galley, and a bedroom with AC, a queen-size walk-around bed, and a private bathroom en-suite with a shower.

Elegance is safely located in a beachfront marina at Downtown Beach beside the world-famous North Beach (200 meters from the ferry station), moored to the main pier so that you can step in and out on your own just walking. Also, the sea movement here is less than when you are anchored outside.

Downtown beach is at the end of the pier, literally 10 meters from the boat, so you can access it barefoot.

There is also a restaurant at the beach by the end of the pier, the Blue Ballyhoo, for the best seafood and Margaritas on the island.

Still, if you prefer cooking, the boat has a fully equipped kitchen: stove, microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, kettle, and all you need.

All our boats are fully equipped:
- Ice-cold air conditioning
- Shower with hot water
- Toilet
- Bed linens and towels
- Beach towels
- High-speed internet connection (Starlink)
- TV
- Microwave
- 3 burners stove

Parking is free on the street.

Megan H.

We realize it is a boat. . . . but still disappointed.

We realize we rented a boat and would expect some rocking. However, we selected this vessel because the location in photos was more inland. We found the boat's location moved to the outermost docking area of the marina. My spouse spent the first day vomiting. I reached out to the host to see if they had any accommodations on land. They were so kind, but did not have any, so we settled in and started medication. I would like to say he got used to the movement, but the meds were the real heroes. Host contacted us later on to offer another vessel but after viewing it, we opted to stay aboard the Elegance b/c we didn't think the other boat was much better. We realized soon after that not switching was a mistake. The living room/galley area in the Elegance had small carpets randomly scattered throughout which we came to learn were covering rotten spots on the floor. One of which I fell through on our last day, scraping my leg nearly to my knee. My husband had to help me get out of the hole. There were ants & old appliances. Microwave was rusted. Bathroom/toilet/shower was much smaller than the photos suggested, it was the size of a Can-doo. The bed was highly uncomfortable and if we had more money, we would have gone to a hotel after the second night. We are campers, we understand roughing it, but we were not expecting this. The island was lovely, hosts were kind but the lack transparency and lack of guest reviews should have tipped us off. I feel as though we wasted a vacation.
