Sitting loud and proud on Isla Mujeres – a Mexican island in the Caribbean Sea – is Casa Caracol, a shell-shaped, and sea-themed home that’s available to rent via Airbnb.
Where in the world is the Seashell House?
What the shell? This might just be Airbnb's most unusual listing yet
And, more importantly, can you hear the ocean when you stand inside it?
The structure
Creative couple Raquel and Eduardo Ocampo designed and built the Seashell, a two-bedroom vacation home, and live nearby.
The location
Fly into Cancun, and travel across to this naturally beautiful island – where your accommodation is anything but discreet.
Inside the shell
The theme doesn’t end with the facade, oh no. Inside, your decor is thematically sculpted in keeping with the shell motif. Bedheads are carved into shell patterns, and artworks, mirrors and even furniture pieces are strewn in shell adornments.
Shower in a shell
Never showered in a shell before? Here’s your chance to live out your underwater, mermaid fanta-seas. Even the fixtures are…you guessed it: shells.
Can we get a shell yeah?
Eager to stay? For roughly $357.89 per night, your visit includes a private pool, two king beds, a kitchenette, barbecue, two shell buildings, in-shell WiFi, air-conditioning, and plenty of bemused looks from passersby.
