TRAVEL + LEISURE Strangest Vacation Rentals

The Seashell House, Isla Mujeres, Mexico


Architect Eduardo Ocampo constructed the glittering, oddly beautiful “Casa Caracol” as a vacation home for his brother, famous painter Octavio Ocampo. It looks like something fantastical out of a Tim Burton movie set. But rather than some sound stage, the casa is located on a tiny island across the street from the Caribbean Sea. While generally peaceful and private despite its proximity to Cancún, the eye-catching rental attracts some oglers. As the listing notes, “Privacy is sometimes lost as tourists on golf carts notice the spectacular architecture and stop to gawk over the fence—making you suddenly understand how celebrities feel.” $225 per night with a two-night minimum; airbnb.com
