Named for D'Arcy. Kept for Paddy. Open to you.
A FAMILY LEGACY IN COZUMEL
OUR STORY
I first came to Cozumel with my best friend almost fifty years ago. There, we met D'Arcy and his friends, who were also from Toronto, Ontario. D'Arcy introduced us to the island and to diving and we kept coming back over the years. He often talked about moving here by the time he turned forty, but he died before he could realize that dream.
The island stayed in the family
I brought Paddy to Cozumel to dive just as his father would have. Years later, I bought a home here for Paddy and I, both for us to share in honour of his father. I found a Casa with original Mexican architecture in a neighborhood filled with beautiful family homes and gardens. It took more than a year of legal work and an exceptional lawyer here in Cozumel, before it was ours. I named it Casa Darcy and we intend to return for years to come. The island simply remains a part of who we are.
Three casas, each with its own name
Today, there are three original Casas on the property, each with its own name. The Main House is the heart of it all. The Loft, which I call the Hobbit House, is an adobe-style bungalow featuring a cocobolo-wood staircase up to the loft bedroom and exposed overhead beams. The Pool Room is small and efficient, with the pool just steps from the door.

Nearly nine years of good people.
I have been welcoming guests for nearly nine years. The ones who love this place most already loved Cozumel when they arrived, or came to love it before they left. Almost every one of them tells me it looks exactly like the pictures. That has never surprised me. I never had a reason to make it look like anything other than what it is
Why We Share It
A family legacy, shared with the people who come to stay.
Casa D'Arcy is our family home in Cozumel, and we love sharing it with guests. Whatever brings you here, you are welcome to our quiet oasis. My hope is to host guests directly—one person or family at a time—so that the people who stay are the ones who will truly care for it. Frida, our Cozumelian dog, will greet you and welcome you to the island. I think you will feel right at home the moment you walk in.
Loved this place!! Very unique. Not a cookie cutter AI. Quite neighborhood. Slept like a rock. Close to grocery stores and restaurants but far enough off the main drag to be peaceful. I’ve never felt unsafe in Cozumel but this place is very private with a beautiful front door that is lockable by a dead bolt. I say door but it’s about as heavy as a bank vault door. Obviously customs made for the entrance or the entrance was custom made for it! lol The gentleman that helps take care of letting you in, coming to your rescue when you lock yourself out (yes I did that) is very kind and helpful. Very easy to reach if you need anything. You will love this place. We stayed in the main home but they all look nice. I forgot to mention the welcome package of cookies, chips, coffee, bananas the rest. Very nice touch and we used nearly all of it. Ty Marnee!

Casa Darcy was such a lovely home away from home. It’s spacious and tastefully decorated with local charm. The pool area is a true oasis, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.
The kitchen deserves a special mention, it’s exceptionally well equipped, with everything you could possibly need for cooking. Having a drinking water cooler/heater was a great bonus too.
Karina and Lazaro were there to help with any questions and Lazaro is conveniently a taxi driver so getting to beaches was hassle free.
We truly enjoyed every moment and would happily return!
