The Amazing And Unique Shell Castle In Quiet, Scenic San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico
Vacation in beautiful San Carlos, Mexico. *****Easter Week requires a 4 day minimum reservation.*****
Stay at the amazing San Carlos Shell Castle. The Castle has over 3000 square feet of living space under roof to enjoy a tranquil and inspiring life style while enjoying all the comforts of American comfort and convenience.
The Shell Castle is made entirely of volcanic rock and stone gathered from the mountains surrounding San Carlos. It is located a half mile from the beautiful sandy beaches around San Carlos Bay. The fishing is some of the best in the world. Snorkeling & scuba diving is very popular. The Shell Castle sits on a half acre of stone wall enclosed secure property. It is located in Ranchitos on Avenue H. The grounds have many native trees and plants. It can serve as a retreat for those looking to experience serenity and rejuvenate one's spirit.
There are two separate bedrooms and a cellar that sleeps 2 with 2 bathrooms and room to sleep up to 12 people. This would be a great location for multiple couples to stay.
It has Directv with two TV'S with DVR recorders and all premium channels along with Tucson local network stations. The Premium MLB Baseball package in now available on Directv. In the fall the NFL package is available. There is an out building with washer and dryer. Security is provided by CYBERCO so there are no worries about your safety. The local police make sure that tourists have a safe and enjoyable stay. The restaurants are first class and the Sonoran beef is second to none.
There is a large fountain in the middle of the Shell Castle and a 22 foot high ceiling. There is an amazing winding stair case leading to an upper patio area with gorgeous views of San Carlos Bay on the Sea of Cortez and the famous Tetakawi Mountain off in the distance.
Everything is provided for your stay and there is an onsite property manager who is available to help out in any way needed. She is completely knowledgeable about where to go and what to do in the San Carlos area.
The golf course is located just a ΒΌ mile from the Shell Castle. There is a special golf package available for 1 week of unlimited play including cart for just $200. If you want to work on your game than there is no better deal anywhere. The head pro offers lessons at prices unheard of in America.
San Carlos is enjoyed by many Americans and Canadians who have discovered this jewel by the sea. The trip from Tucson to San Carlos is an easy and very safe 5 hour drive on Mexico Highway 15.
Dogs may stay for an additional fee.
Because of the high increase in electricity rates in Mexico I had to raise the rates to offset the costs and yet still have competitive rates. There are 4 large mini-split AC units and several space heaters to keep it cozy in the cooler winter nights. I hope you understand the situation. I am still confident the Shell Castle is the best value in all of San Carlos because of it size and uniqueness.
