Each one has a name. Each one has a character.
THREE CASAS, ONE GARDEN OASIS
Three original Mexican casas sit together on the property, near enough to feel like family and private enough to feel like your own. They stand in Corpus Christi, half a block north of Corpus Christi park and a 10 to 15 minute walk from the ocean and the main square. Each can be booked on its own, or all three together for a group of six to eight. Pick the one that matches what you came for, and Marnee will help with the rest.
One oasis, shared.
The three casas sit among gardens, a pond, several patios, and a palapa-covered roof terrace. The pool is a dive pool, finished in imported opal tiles, with a dive step and a deep end for testing your equipment. Custom closets and staircases were designed by local craftsmen. A rinse sink for scuba gear is on the grounds. Bikes are available for guests.

THE MAIN HOUSE
The Main is the largest of our three Casas, and it is the one we think of as the heart of Casa Darcy Bungalows. It was built and designed as an original Cozumelian home with archways and a circular metal staircase to the second floor. It has original folding French doors that look out to the yard and pond. There is an updated kitchen with wooden shelves designed by a local carpenter.
The heart of Casa Darcy.
A uniquely designed bungalow with a double bed upstairs and fully equipped kitchenette on the main floor. Look out your window to the gardens, the pool, and the pond just outside. Sleep well with a mini-split AC upstairs, overhead fan and circulating fan below. Enjoy a quiet afternoon on the main floor, single bed which also acts a couch. Cook your own breakfast before you leave for your day in Cozumel.

THE WHOLE CASA DARCY
The Pool Room
The Hobbit House (the Loft)
When your group is larger, you can also book all three and have Casa Darcy to yourselves: the Main, the Loft, and the Pool Room, with the dive pool, the pond, the gardens, and the palapa terrace shared by no one but your own people. Together the three casas suit six to eight guests.
You arrive once and everyone has a place of their own. Each casa has its own bathroom and its own place to make coffee, so nobody is waiting on anybody. And when the day is done, the whole group has the same garden to come back to.
What a full-compound stay can look like
Two couples and a friend, each with a door that closes.
Three generations of one family, with the grandparents in the quiet of the Main and the grandchildren a few steps from the pool.
A group of divers who share the rinse sink, the deep end for testing gear, and a table in the garden to compare the day.
Good to know
The Main and the Loft both have their bedrooms upstairs.
Frida, our Cozumelian dog, will greet your group.

Marnee's airbnb is a great find. Right in the heart of Cozumel town with easy access to all of the main attractions. The main house is super cute with a nice downstairs living room and kitchen and a set of spiral stairs leading up to the spacious bedroom.
The pool is great and there are multiple balconies and a separate upstairs spaces within the compund to chill.
Marnee was always super responsive whenever I had any questions
All in all, I would highly recommend this place and I will definitely be back.

Our stay at Casa Darcy was absolutely wonderful! The house is beautiful, peaceful, and super comfortable, with a great location just walking distance from all the best restaurants. The bed was incredibly cozy, the terrace was amazing, and the sound of the fountain at the entrance made the whole place so relaxing. The internet speed was excellent, which was a huge plus.
Marnee is an exceptional host—always responsive and attentive to every detail. Karina and Lázaro were incredible as well. Lázaro went above and beyond, taking us everywhere during our stay. He’s not only a great tour guide but also an engaging conversationalist who made our week even more enjoyable. As a former dive master, he even gave us fantastic tips for clogged ears, which was so helpful since it was our first time diving, and we were getting our Open Water diving certification.
We couldn’t recommend this place more—it’s a perfect combination of a beautiful home and amazing people. Thank you for everything!

A few honest words before you inquire.
You will likely love it if you would rather walk to the square from a neighborhood home than ride up an elevator, if stairs between floors, a garden pond, and a shared pool sound like character rather than inconvenience, and if you want to know the person you are staying with.
It may not be for you if you want a resort with a lobby, a gym, and a front desk, or if stairs are a concern.
Booking direct means you are booking with Marnee.
Your questions and your reservation go straight to her, with no platform in between.
