The 10 Best Cozumel Airbnbs (#4 Sits on 165 Feet of Private Beach)
Looking for the best Cozumel Airbnbs?
You’re in the right place as I’ve called Mexico home since 2018, and I’ve stayed in 50+ Airbnbs all over the country — Cozumel included.
Cozumel is the biggest island in the Mexican Caribbean and one of the world’s top diving spots — and some of Mexico’s best Airbnbs.
👀 Curious about my top pick? It’s the oceanfront villa with a private pool and billiard room — check it out here.
The tricky part is that Cozumel is bigger than it looks, and some homes are a long taxi ride from town, the ferry pier and the beach clubs. That’s where I come in!
I’ve hand-picked a list of places, all with nearly-5 star ratings, lots of glowing reviews, and Airbnb’s Guest Favorite badge.
