This is a kitschy person's dream home! We booked here for four reasons -- price, privacy, pool, and kitsch!
Price - ~$100 cheaper than many of the other other single family homes were were looking at.
Privacy - a single family home! We were done with the resort life and wanted a place to ourselves for our honeymoon. We had a few tourists peering over the wall but that comes with the territory.
Pool - a private pool! We loved coming back at 3p (when things cooled down a bit) and floated around for a few hours. A great feature!
Kitsch - come on, a house that looks like a shell?!! It was little mermaid come to life.
We enjoyed our time at the Casa Caracol but be warned - the inside is a bit dated and the birds that rest on top of the shell (above the second story bedroom) will wake you with their squawking as early as 6a! If that doesn't bother you, park your golf cart in the paved spot outside the fence and enjoy the fun! read more
